Glycosylation Orchestrates Megakaryocytic Fate of Hematopoietic Stem Cells via Wnt-Muc13 Signaling [scMultiome]

ABSTRACT: Hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) sustain blood production through tightly regulated fate decisions. Disruption of this control underlies disorders such as myelodysplastic syndromes, myeloproliferative neoplasms, and inherited thrombocytopenias. While transcriptional and epigenetic regulation of HSPCs is well established, the contribution of glycosylation has remained largely unexplored. Here, we identify the glycosyltransferase B4GALT1 as a central regulator of hematopoiesis that integrates extrinsic niche cues with intrinsic transcriptional programs. B4GALT1 shapes the bone marrow microenvironment by generating complex glycan niches that support HSPC function. However, its deficiency produces oncogenic glycan signatures, disrupts HSPC niche integrity, and induces aberrant expression of Mucin 13 (MUC13). These changes expand stem and progenitor pools, enforce megakaryocyte lineage bias, and activate the Wnt–MUC13/β-catenin signaling axis, a pathway tightly linked to proliferation and malignant transformation. Consequently, B4GALT1 loss uncouples proliferation from self-renewal, altering key regulators of stem cell quiescence, lineage balance, and marrow homeostasis. Our findings define a previously unrecognized glycan-dependent regulatory axis that directs HSPC fate through coordinated transcriptional reprogramming, signaling modulation, and niche remodeling. This work establishes aberrant glycosylation as a driver of hematopoietic dysfunction and highlights B4GALT1 as a potential therapeutic target in stem cell–driven blood disorders.

Glycosylation Orchestrates Megakaryocytic Fate of Hematopoietic Stem Cells via Wnt-Muc13 Signaling [scRNA]

Project description:The cell-intrinsic and extrinsic programs governing hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) cell fate determination remain unresolved. Our data reveals that loss of B4GALT1 glycosyltransferase biosynthetic activity restricts HSPC N- and O-glycosylation and reprograms previously unrecognized N-glycan gradients in the bone marrow environment with high expression of complex N-glycans in HSPC-rich regions to accumulate aberrant, cancer-like N-glycan signatures. The loss of B4GALT1 increases the expression of aberrantly glycosylated intracellular oncogenic Mucin13, which is likely to disrupt the destruction complex and mediate Wnt/β-catenin hyperactivation. This enhances metabolic and cell cycle activity, expands the megakaryocyte-primed stem cell pool, and promotes emergence from a steady state, highlighting the essential role of B4GALT1 in modulating the BM glycosylation landscape and its significance in regulating the expansion and differentiation of HSPCs.

Ceramide-dependent vesicle secretion modulates the integrated stress response in hematopoietic stem cells

Project description:Cellular crosstalk within the bone marrow niche maintains hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell (HSPC) integrity and safeguards lifelong blood and immune cell production. Deeper understanding of reciprocal niche signals governing crucial properties of HSPCs is relevant to the pathophysiology of blood disorders and improving HSPC transplantation. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are key factors of the HSPC secretome, providing signals that regulate homeostasis and stemness. Here we demonstrate ex vivo blockade of ceramide-dependent vesicle secretion from HSPCs activates an integrated stress response (ISR), promoting downstream mTOR inhibition and metabolic quiescence. Crucially, ceramide-EV depletion leads to striking improvements in long-term transplantation. The aggregate findings link ceramide-dependent EV secretion and the ISR as a regulatory dyad guarding HSPC homeostasis and long-term fitness. Translationally, these data support exploration of ceramide inhibition during ex vivo maintenance of HSPCs for adoptive transfer.

Single-cell measurements of osteolineage cells within the bone marrow cell niche

Project description:We report an approach biased only by the anatomic proximity of hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPC) to a putative niche cell as the criterion for molecular analysis. Comparative RNA-Seq profiling of single mesenchymal cells immediately proximal to transplanted HSPCs and those located further away revealed that HSPC-proximal cells have a distinct genome-wide transcriptional signature, highly enriched for genes previously implicated in HSPC niche function.

BMAL1 modulates glutamine supply to control hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell expansion

Project description:Following specification in the dorsal aorta, hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) proliferate in the HSPC niche, known as the caudal hematopoietic tissue (CHT) in zebrafish. Here we demonstrate that bmal1a, a core component of the circadian clock machinery, is expressed in CHT endothelial cells (ECs) and affects HSPCs in a non-cell autonomous manner. Using endothelial cell-specific dominant-negative Bmal1a zebrafish lines, we demonstrate a striking increase in HSPC numbers in the CHT, resulting from enhanced HSPC proliferation. RNA-sequencing of dominant-negative bmal1a ECs sorted from the CHT shows a downregulation of glud1a, resulting in increased glutamine levels in the CHT. This newly discovered bmal1a-glud1a-glutamine pathway fuels HSPC expansion. We demonstrate that this glutamine synthesis pathway controlling HSPC expansion is likely conserved in the mouse fetal liver (FL) niche, in which hepatocytes are the likely source of glutamine. Together, our data uncover a novel mechanism of HSPC homeostasis, in which EC BMAL1, expressed by the niche, controls the amount of bioavailable glutamine for HSPCs by regulating the expression of genes involved in glutamine synthesis.

CXCL8 and CXCR1 Remodel the Vascular Niche to Promote Hematopoietic Stem and Progenitor Cell Colonization and Engraftment [wt vs kdrl:cxcr1]

Project description:The microenvironment is an important regulator of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell (HSPC) biology. Interactions between the niche and stem cells have been difficult to track, but recent advances marking fluorescent HSPCs have allowed exquisite visualization in the caudal hematopoietic tissue (CHT) of the developing zebrafish. Sinusoidal endothelial cells interact closely with HSPCs as they colonize this niche. Here we show that the chemokine cxcl8 and its receptor, cxcr1, are abundantly expressed by zebrafish endothelial cells and we identify cxcl8/cxcr1 signaling as a positive regulator of HSPC colonization using genetic gain- and loss-of-function techniques. Single-cell tracking experiments demonstrated that this effect is due to an increase in HSPC “cuddling” by endothelial cells, thereby increasing CHT residency time and allowing more HSPC cell divisions to occur. Enhanced cxcl8/cxcr1 signaling was associated with an increase in the volume of the CHT and induction of cxcl12a expression, favoring HSPC colonization. Finally, using parabiotic zebrafish, we show that cxcr1 acts stem cell non-autonomously to improve the efficiency of donor HSPC engraftment. This work identifies a mechanism by which the hematopoietic niche remodels to promote HSPC engraftment and suggests that cxcl8/cxcr1 signaling is a potential therapeutic target in patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

Bacterial c-di-GMP reorganizes hematopoietic stem/progenitors and niches through STING

Project description:Upon systemic bacterial infection, hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) migrate to the periphery in order to supply a sufficient number of immune cells. Although pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) reportedly mediate HSPC activation, how HSPCs detect pathogen invasion in vivo remains elusive. Bacteria use the second messenger bis-(3’-5’)-cyclic dimeric guanosine monophosphate (c-di-GMP) for a variety of activities. Here we report that c-di-GMP comprehensively regulates both HSPCs and their niche cells through an innate immune sensor, STING, thereby inducing entry into the cell cycle and mobilization of HSPCs, while decreasing the number and repopulation capacity of long-term hematopoietic stem cells (LT-HSCs). Furthermore, we show that type I IFN acts as a downstream target of c-di-GMP to inhibit HSPC expansion in the spleen, while TGF-β1 is required for c-di-GMP-dependent splenic HSPC expansion. Our results define novel machinery underlying dynamic regulation of HSPCs and their niches during bacterial infection through c-di-GMP/STING signaling. Ten-week-old mice were intraperitoneally administered PBS or 200 nmol c-di-GMP, and CD150+ CD41- CD48- CD34- Flt3- LSK cells of pooled bone marrow from 10 mice per group were sorted 3 days later. mRNA was then extracted using RNeasy micro (Qiagen). Likewise, CD45- Ter-119- CD31- CD140a+ CD51+ MSCs and CD45- Ter119- CD31+ endothelial cells from c-di-GMP-treated or untreated mice were sorted and mRNA was extracted. cDNA was synthesized from mRNA and hybridized to gene chip Mouse60k (Agilent Technologies) and expression levels analyzed.

PDGFRβ+ cells play a dual role as hematopoietic precursors and niche cells during mouse ontogeny

Project description:Hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) generation in the aorta-gonads-mesonephros region requires HSC specification signals from the surrounding microenvironment. In zebrafish, PDGF-B/PDGFRβ signaling controls hematopoietic stem/progenitor cell (HSPC) generation and is required in the HSC specification niche. Little is known about murine HSPC specification in vivo and whether PDGF-B/PDGFRβ is involved. Here we show that PDGFRβ is expressed in distinct perivascular stromal cell layers surrounding the mid-gestation dorsal aorta, and its deletion impairs hematopoiesis. We demonstrate that PDGFRβ+ cells play a dual role in murine hematopoiesis. They act in the aortic niche to support HSPCs, and in addition, PDGFRβ+ embryonic precursors give rise to a subset of HSPCs that persist into adulthood. These findings provide crucial information for the controlled production of these clinically important cells in vitro.
