Project description:One of the hallmarks of multiple myeloma (MM) is a permissive BM microenvironment. Increasing evidence suggest that cell-to-cell communication between myeloma and immune cells via tumor cell-derived extracellular vesicles (EV) plays a key role in the pathogenesis of MM. Hence, we aimed to explore BM immune alterations induced by MM-derived EV. For this, we inoculated immunocompetent BALB/cByJ mice with a myeloma cell line - MOPC315.BM -, inducing a MM phenotype. Upon tumor establishment, characterization of the BM microenvironment revealed the expression of both activation and suppressive markers by lymphocytes, such as Granzyme b and PD-1, respectively. In addition, conditioning of the animals with MOPC315.BM-derived EV, before transplantation of the MOPC315.BM tumor cells, did not anticipate the disease phenotype. However, it induced features of suppression in the BM milieu, such as an increase in PD-1 expression by CD4+ T cells. Overall, our findings reveal the involvement of MOPC315.BM-derived EV protein content as promoters of immune niche remodeling, strengthening the importance of assessing the mechanisms by which MM may impact the immune microenvironment.

Project description:BackgroundThe bone marrow (BM) niche contains non-hematopoietic elements including mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) and bone marrow endothelial cells (BMEC) which provide mechanical support, and control hematopoietic cell growth and differentiation. Although it is known that multiple myeloma (MM) cells interact closely with the BM microenvironment, little is known about the impact of MM on non-hematopoietic niche-forming cells.MethodsTo address the role of the niche in MM pathogenesis, we utilized the 5TGM1 murine model. During the asymptomatic precursor stage of the model, we isolated the rare non-hematopoietic cells and performed single cell RNA sequencing. Using in-silico methods we characterized the individual cellular components of the niche, their relative abundance and differentiation state before and after exposure to MM cells as well as their intercellular interactions.ResultsMM engraftment increased the abundance of MSC-lineage cells, BMECs and enhanced endothelial to mesenchymal transition. An inflammatory and oxidative stress signal was identified together with polarization of MSC differentiation away from osteocyte formation towards adipocytes which provide growth factors that are known to support MM expansion. BMEC differentiation was polarized towards sinusoidal endothelial cells with a pro-angiogenic/pro-inflammatory phenotype.ConclusionsMM cells impact the BM niche by generating a pro-inflammatory microenvironment with MSC differentiation being changed to generate cell subsets that favor MM growth and survival. In order to induce remission and improve long-term outcome for MM patients these inflammatory and oxidative stress signals need to be reduced and normal niche differentiation trajectories restored.

Project description:The bone marrow (BM) niche comprised of BM endothelial cells (BMECs) and LepR+ mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs), plays a critical role in preserving the fitness of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). Aging is associated with defects in the BM niche that impair their ability to support HSC activity. However, mechanisms underlying age-related defects in the BM niche remain poorly understood. In this study, we identify BM niche derived Netrin-1 (NTN1) as a critical regulator of BM niche cell fitness during aging. Conditional deletion of NTN-1 specifically within BM MSCs or BMECs of young mice resulted in premature aging phenotypes within the BM niche including increased vascular leakiness, hypoxia, DNA damage and adiposity. On the other hand, supplementation of aged mice with NTN1 resulted in restoration of these hallmark niche defects and a rejuvenation of HSC activity. Mechanistically, we identify NTN1 as a critical regulator of DNA Damage Response (DDR) within BM niche cells and HSCs. In this experiment, RNA Seq analysis was performed on BM MSCs and BMECs following conditional deletion of NTN1 within BMECs or MSCs to characterize transcriptional alterations within BM niche cells resulting from a deficiency of niche derived NTN1.

Project description:The bone marrow (BM) niche regulates multiple HSC processes. Clinical treatment for hematological malignancies, by HSC transplantation often requires preconditioning total body irradiation, which severely and irreversibly impairs the BM niche and HSC regeneration. Novel strategies to enhance HSC regeneration in irradiated BM are needed. We compared the effects of niche factors EGF, FGF2 and PDGFB on HSC hematopoietic regeneration using human MSCs that were transduced with these factors via lentiviral vectors. Among above niche factors tested, PDGFB-MSCs most significantly improved human hematopoietic cell engraftment in immunodeficient mice. PDGFB-MSC-treated BM more efficiently enhanced transplanted human HSC self-renewal in secondary transplantations from primary recipients. Although PDGFB-MSCs did not directly increase HSC expansion in vitro, GSEA revealed anti-apoptotic signaling being increased in PDGFB-MSCs versus GFP-MSCs. PDGFB-MSCs had enhanced survival and expansion after transplantation, leading to an enlarged humanized niche cell pool. Our study demonstrates the efficacy of MSC-mediated niche factors in clinical HSC transplantation for patients.

Project description:The bone marrow (BM) niche is critical in regulating hematopoiesis, and sexual dimorphism in hematopoiesis and immunocompetence is observed in both mice and humans. Beyond hormonal influences, the mechanisms underlying sexual differences in the BM niche and their impact on hematopoiesis are not well understood. Here, we show that male mice exhibit a higher abundance of leptin-receptor-expressing mesenchymal stromal cells (LepR-MSCs) compared to female mice. Through sex-mismatched co-culture and BM transplantation experiments, we find that the male BM niche provides superior support for in vitro colony formation and in vivo hematopoietic engraftment. Notably, the co-transplantation of male stromal cells significantly enhances engraftment in female recipients. Single-cell RNA sequencing reveals sex-specific differences in cellular composition and gene expression profiles within BM stromal cells, with MSCs being the predominant population, particularly in the male BM stroma. Mechanistically, we identify lower expression of the X-linked lysine H3K4 demethylase, Kdm5c, in male MSCs, leading to increased levels of Cxcl12. In a mouse model with MSC-specific Kdm5c knockout, the reduction of Kdm5c in female MSCs enhances MSC quantity and function, ultimately improving engraftment to the male level. This suggests that Kdm5c may play a role in driving sexual dimorphism in the BM niche and hematopoietic regeneration. Our study unveils a sex-dependent mechanism governing BM niche regulation and its impact on hematopoietic engraftment. The finding offers potential implications for enhancing BM transplantation efficacy in clinical settings by harnessing the resource of male MSCs or targeting Kdm5c.

Project description:Gene expression profiling by cDNA microarray of bone marrow stromal cells from three healthy donors treated as follows: vehicle control; or stimulated with 10 nM substance P. Hematopoiesis is tightly regulated by the bone marrow (BM) niche. The niche is robust, allowing for the return of hematopoietic homeostasis after insults such as infection. Hematopoiesis is partly regulated by soluble factors such as neuropeptides, substance P (SP) and neurokinin A (NK-A), which mediate hematopoietic stimulation and inhibition, respectively. The hematopoietic effects of SP and NK-A are mostly mediated via BM stroma. Array analyses with 2400 genes indicated distinct changes in SP-stimulated BM stroma.

Project description:Bone marrow (BM) niche contributes to hematopoietic regeneration under stress like irradiation and leukemia. However, the mechanisms remain poorly defined. We here report that Lama4 deletion in mice results in reduction of mesenchymal progenitors (MPCs) and endothelial cells in BM. Following irradiation, Lama4-/- mice displayed impaired hematopoiesis recovery accompanied with dysregulation of BM niche factors like angiopoietin-1 and Tgfb1 in the MPCs. Post-transplantation of MLL-AF9 acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells, we observed accelerated AML onset in Lama4-/- mice. Moreover, these Lama4-/- AML mice displayed faster relapse after therapeutic BM transplantation. Mechanistically, Lama4-/- niche promoted AML cell proliferation and chemoresistance to chemotherapy cytarabine by conferring AML greater antioxidant activity. Together, our study demonstrates that Lama4 is required to maintain hematopoietic niche integrity and to suppress AML progression and chemoresistance by restricting metabolic defense support to AML. Therefore, activating Lama4 signaling pathways may offer potential new therapeutic options for AML.
