Molecular determinants for chromatin factor YY1 control of fetal hematopoietic stem cell migration and engraftment [ATAC-seq]

ABSTRACT: Fetal liver is a major organ for generating hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) during embryonic development. Many questions remain unanswered regarding how transition of hematopoiesis from the fetal liver to the bone marrow (BM) is regulated. We demonstrate that mammalian Polycomb Group (PcG) protein Yin Yang 1 (YY1) is required for this transition, as conditional knockout of Yy1 in the hematopoietic system during fetal development results in exhaustion of fetal HSC pools and is associated with neonatal death. Yy1 deficient fetal HSCs have diminished capacity to migrate to and engraft the adult BM, and consequently fail to reconstitute blood. The genetic networks governing cell motility and adhesion are distinctly deregulated by YY1 knockout in fetal HSPCs. Notably, YY1 regulates mobility of fetal HSPCs largely through an indirect mechanism as it does not directly bind to the promoters of dysregulated genes involved in control of cell mobility. Instead, it regulates broader transcriptional mechanisms by regulating the genes in chromatin remodeling complexes and modulating chromatin accessibility that impact HSPC migration. Our study provides a framework to further decipher how temporal epigenomic configurations determine HSC fetal-to-adult transition during development.

Project description:Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are at the basis of the hematopoietic hierarchy. Their ability to self-renew and differentiate is strictly controlled by molecular signals produced by their surrounding micorenvironments composed of stromal cells. HSCs first emerge in the AGM (Aorta Gonads Mesonephros) region, amplify in the fetal liver (FL) and are maintained in the adult bone marrow (BM). To further characterize the molecular program of the HSC niches, we have compared the global transcriptome of HSC-supportive and non-supportive stromal clones established from the AGM, FL and BM.

To further characterize the molecular program of the HSC niches, we have compared the global transcriptome of HSC-supportive and non-supportive stromal clones established from fetal liver. We took advantage of stromal clones established from the AGM, FL and BM and tested for their ability to support or not HSCs ex vivo. RNA were extracted from confluent stromal cultures or sorted cells and used for hybridization of Affymetrix (mouse gene 1.0 ST) microarrays.
