Project description:Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a common practice in the treatment of (malignant-) hematopoietic diseases. Umbilical Cord Blood (UCB) has become an important hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell (HSPC) source for allogeneic HSCT. However, the relatively low number of HSPCs that are present in a single UCB unit is associated with a delayed engraftment and a higher risk for graft failure. To overcome these limitations, the discovery of new therapeutics and the development of efficient ex vivo HSPC expansion conditions will help towards the successful treatment of malignant hematopoietic disease. Bone marrow derived mesenchymal stromal cells (BMSCs) are known to support the characteristic properties of HSPCs in the bone marrow microenvironment. Recently, we and others have illustrated that extracellular vesicles (EVs) have the potential to support HSPC expansion, however, the mechanism and processes responsible for the cell-cell communication of EVs are still unknown. In the current study, we investigate whether primary human BMSC EVs isolated from two different origins, fetal (fEV) and adult (aEV) tissue respectively, can increase the relative low number of HSPC found in UCB and which EV-derived components are responsible for ex vivo HSPC expansion. Interestingly, aEVs but not fEVs showed supportive ex vivo expansion capacity of UCB-HSPC. Taking advantage of the two BMSC sources with different supportive effects, we performed small RNA sequencing and proteomics analyses on the EV cargo and investigated how gene expression is modulated in HSPC after incubation with aEVs and fEVs. Proteomics analyses of the protein cargo composition of the supportive aEV versus the non-supportive fEV identified 90% of the Top100 exosome proteins present in the ExoCarta database. We identified well-defined EV markers such as ANXA1, ANXA2, ANXA5 and GAPDH as the most abundant proteins detected in both aEV and fEV. Gene Ontology (GO) analyses of the enriched proteins in aEVs and fEVs illustrated that of the proteins overrepresented in aEVs were annotated to oxidation-reduction process (eg. HADHA, HADHB), mitochondrial ATP synthesis coupled proton transport (eg. ATP5A1, ATP5B and ATP5O) or protein folding (eg. FKBP11, FKBP10, FKBP2, MESDC2). In contrast, the proteins overrepresented in fEVs were annotated to extracellular matrix organization (eg. FN1, COL12A1, COL1A1, COL6A1, CCDC80) or positive regulation of cell migration (eg. ITGA4, ITGA6, GDF15, SEMA3, APDSD6, MMP14, ICAM1, FGFR1, PDGFRA, ADAMTS1). Interestingly, we found various proteins that were overrepresented in the non-supportive fEV cargo, that are involved in transforming growth factor beta receptor (TGFBR) signaling pathway (TGFBR1, TGFBR2, TGFB1, TGFB2, LTBP1, LTBP2, BMPR1A, GDF5, GDF15, PARP1, RPS27A and COL3A1). Together this illustrates the large differences in the protein content of EV populations derived from two different origins. Small RNA sequencing identified different molecular signatures between the supportive aEVs and the non-supportive fEVs. miRNA, yRNA and piRNA were abundantly found in aEV, while fEVs contained a significant enrichment of snoRNAs. Interestingly, the microRNA cluster miR-99b/let-7e/miR-125a, previously identified to increase the number of HSPC by targeting multiple proapoptotic genes, was highly and significantly enriched in aEV in comparison to fEV. Although we identified a significant difference in EV cargo and supportive effects of aEVs and fEVs, RNAseq analyses of 24hrs treated HSPCs with aEVs or fEVs indicated that only a limited set of genes was differentially regulated when compared to cells that were only treated with cytokines. Interestingly, we identified 5 genes, (eg MTF1, PER1, HOMER1, HSPA6, ENSG00000260534) that were significantly upregulated upon aEV compared to fEV treatment of HSPC. Moreover, HSPC treated with fEVs, resulted in increased expression of genes (SKIL, SMAD7, ENG, LDLRAD4) that are involved in the negative regulation of the TGFbeta signalling pathway. Together with the TGFbeta pathway proteins that were specifically identified in the fEVs, our results suggest that HSPCs may activate a negative feedback loop upon fEV treatment that consolidate HSPC expansion. In conclusion, our study gives novel insights into the complex biological role of EVs in the bone marrow microenvironment. Systematic analyses of supportive and non-supportive human BMSC derived extracellular vesicles indicated known molecules, eg. microRNA cluster miR-99b/let-7e/miR-125a, and the presence of TGFbeta pathway components that are important regulators in the cell-cell communication via EVs and open new means for the application of EVs in the discovery of therapeutics for more efficient ex vivo HSPC expansion.

Project description:Osteolineage cell-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) play a regulatory role in hematopoiesis and have been shown to promote the ex vivo expansion of human hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs). Here, we demonstrate that EVs from different human osteolineage sources do not have the same HSPC expansion promoting potential. Comparison of stimulatory and non-stimulatory osteolineage EVs by next-generation sequencing and mass spectrometry analyses revealed distinct microRNA and protein signatures identifying EV-derived candidate regulators of ex vivo HSPC expansion. Accordingly, the treatment of umbilical cord blood-derived CD34+ HSPCs with stimulatory EVs altered HSPC transcriptome, including genes with known roles in cell proliferation. An integrative bioinformatics approach, which connects the HSPC gene expression data with the candidate cargo in stimulatory EVs, delineated the potentially targeted biological functions and pathways during hematopoietic cell expansion and development. In conclusion, our study gives novel insights into the complex biological role of EVs in osteolineage cell-HSPC crosstalk and promotes the utility of EVs and their cargo as therapeutic agents in regenerative medicine.

Project description:Preeclampsia (PE) has been associated with placental dysfunction, resulting in foetal hypoxia, accelerated erythropoiesis and increased erythroblast count in the umbilical cord blood (UCB). Although the detailed effects remain unknown, placental dysfunction can also cause inflammation, nutritional and oxidative stress in the fetus that can affect erythropoiesis. Here, we compared the expression of surface adhesion molecules and erythroid differentiation capacity of UCB hematopoietic stem/ progenitor cells (HSPCs), UCB erythroid profiles along with transcriptome and proteome of these cells between male and female foetuses from PE and normotensive pregnancies. While no significant differences were observed in UCB HSPC migration/ homing and in vitro erythroid colony differentiation, the UCB HSPC transcriptome and the proteomic profile of the in vitro differentiated erythroid cells differed between PE vs normotensive samples. Accordingly, despite absence of significant differences in the UCB erythroid populations in male or female foetuses from PE or normotensive pregnancies, transcriptional changes were observed during erythropoiesis, particularly affecting male foetuses. Pathway analysis suggested deregulation in mTORC1/AMPK signaling pathways controlling cell cycle, differentiation and protein synthesis. These results associate PE with transcriptional and proteomic changes in foetal HSPCs and erythroid cells that may underlie the higher erythroblast count in the UCB in PE.

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.

Project description:The Notch signaling pathway plays a critical role in regulating the proliferation and differentiation of stem and progenitor cells including hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs). Notch receptors and ligands are expressed in BM stromal and hematopoietic cells. A large body of evidence has demonstrated that activating Notch signaling enhances HSCs self-renewal and facilitates its expansion ex vivo. We report that an endothelium-targeted soluble Notch ligand, the DSL domain of mouse Delta-like 1 fused with a RGD motif (mD1R), efficiently promotes the expansion ex vivo of mouse bone marrow HSPCs in a Notch signaling and endocytosis dependent manner. HSPCs expanded in the presence of mD1R kept long-term HSPC repopulation capacity. We used microarrays to compare the gene expression profiles of HSPCs expanded in the presence of PBS and mD1R. KSL cells were plated on Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and cultured in a serum-free medium supplemented with a cocktail containing 5 types of mouse cytokines (m5GF) in the presence of PBS or mD1R for 7 days. Then KSL cells were sorted from these cultured hematopoietic cells for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. The experiments were repeated 3 times.

Project description:A greater understanding of the molecular pathways that underpin the unique human hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell (HSPC) self-renewal program will improve strategies to expand these critical cell types for regenerative therapies. The post-transcriptional mechanisms guiding HSPC fate during ex vivo expansion have not been closely investigated. Using shRNA-mediated knockdown, we show that the RNA-binding protein (RBP) Musashi-2 (MSI2) is required for human HSPC self-renewal. Conversely, when overexpressed, MSI2 induces multiple pro-self-renewal phenotypes, including significant ex vivo expansion of short- and long-term repopulating cells through direct attenuation of aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) signaling. Using a global analysis of MSI2-RNA interactions, we determined that MSI2 post-transcriptionally downregulates canonical AHR pathway components in cord blood HSPCs. Our study provides new mechanistic insight into RBP-controlled RNA networks that underlie the self-renewal process and provides evidence that manipulating such networks can provide a novel means to enhance the regenerative potential of human HSPCs expanded ex vivo.
