Project description:The homeobox (Hox) transcription factor HOXA10 has been implicated in regulation of hematopoietic cell fate. Here, using a transgenic mouse model where expression of HOXA10 is tightly regulated in a graded, doxycyclin-dependent manner we demonstrate that several key commitment steps in hematopoietic differentiation have distinctly different outcomes depending on the expression level of HOXA10. Similarly, HOXA10 regulates hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) proliferation in a dose dependent manner, since intermediate levels of HOXA10 generated a 4.5-fold increase in long-term repopulating capacity after 13 days of liquid culture, whereas high levels reduced proliferation of HSCs. Interestingly, the effects on HSC proliferation were associated with altered expression of several known regulators of stem cell self-renewal. Taken together, our findings reveal entirely novel functional and molecular aspects of HOXA10 in regulation of hematopoiesis and emphasize the need for tightly regulated production of HOX proteins in possible future applications of stem cell expansion. LSK cells were sorted from rtTA-HA10 and cultured for 72 hours in complete serum free medium in three different concentrations of doxycycline (0, 0.1 and 0.5 µg/ml doxycycline). RNA was extracted using RNeasy Mini kit, Qiagen, labeled and amplified according to AffymetrixTM Two Cycle Target Labeling Protocol. Hybridization and washing was performed according to AffymetrixTM GeneChip Expression protocol. Chips were scanned using an AffymetrixTM GeneChip Scanner 3000. The Affymetrix software GCOS was used to generate cell intensity data files (CEL) from two independent experiments. The CEL file data was then imported into the GeneSpring® software version 7.2 (Silicon Genetics, Redwood City, CA). The GC-RMA method was used for normalization and data was processed as follows: values below 0.01 were set to 0.01. All of the genes in each sample were divided by the median of the specified list of 100 positive control genes present on the MOE430 v2 chip. All samples were then normalized against the median of the untreated control samples. Each measurement for each gene in the treated samples was divided by the median of that gene's measurements in the corresponding control samples. We judged genes to be differentially expressed when the difference in expression between two conditions was at least 2-fold.

Project description:Muscle stem cells (satellite cells) are distributed throughout the body and have heterogeneous properties among muscles. However, functional topographical genes in satellite cells of adult muscle remain unidentified. Here, we show that expression of Homeobox-A (Hox-A) cluster genes accompanied with DNA hypermethylation of the Hox-A locus was robustly maintained in both somite-derived muscles and their associated satellite cells in adult mice, which recapitulates their embryonic origin. Somite-derived satellite cells were clearly separated from cells derived from cranial mesoderm in Hoxa10 expression. Hoxa10 inactivation led to genomic instability and mitotic catastrophe in somite-derived satellite cells in mice and human. Satellite cell–specific Hoxa10 ablation in mice resulted in a decline in the regenerative ability of somite-derived muscles, which were unobserved in cranial mesoderm–derived muscles. Thus, our results show that Hox gene expression profiles instill the embryonic history in satellite cells as positional memory, potentially modulating region-specific pathophysiology in adult muscles.

Project description:Skeletal muscle is contractile tissue distributed throughout the body with functionally heterogeneous properties that may relate to region-specific pathophysiology of muscle diseases. Recent studies revealed that muscle stem cells (satellite cells) are a functional heterogeneous population in different muscles, dependent not only on fiber-types but also on embryonic origin. Homeobox (Hox) genes are key regulators of the embryonic body plan. Here, we showed that Hox-A cluster genes are robustly maintained in adult muscles and their associated satellite cells of both mice and humans in a body region-specific manner, whose distribution almost recapitulates their embryonic origin. The region-specific expression of Hox genes was linked to DNA hypermethylation status of Hox-A locus. Importantly, Hox gene expression is a functional memory; Hoxa10 inactivation in satellite cells led to genomic instability and mitotic catastrophe, resulting in a decline in the regionally specific regenerative ability of muscles in mice, even though Hox paralogs are known to be often functionally redundant. Thus, our results demonstrate that the topographic Hox gene expression profile could be a geotagging molecular signature that reflects the anatomical location and embryonic history of resident muscle stem cells, potentially contributing to regionally specific regulations of adult skeletal muscles.

Project description:BACKGROUND: Hox genes are implicated in hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) regulation as well as in leukemia development through translocation with the nucleoporin gene NUP98. Interestingly, an engineered NUP98-HOXA10 (NA10) fusion can induce a several hundred-fold expansion of HSCs in vitro and NA10 and the AML-associated fusion gene NUP98-HOXD13 (ND13) have a virtually indistinguishable ability to transform myeloid progenitor cells in vitro and to induce leukemia in collaboration with MEIS1 in vivo. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: These findings provided a potentially powerful approach to identify key pathways mediating Hox-induced expansion and transformation of HSCs by identifying gene expression changes commonly induced by ND13 and NA10 but not by a NUP98-Hox fusion with a non-DNA binding homedomain mutation (N51S). The gene expression repertoire of purified murine bone marrow Sca-1+Lin- cells transduced with retroviral vectors encoding for these genes was established using the Affymetrix GeneChip MOE430A. Approximately seventy genes were differentially expressed in ND13 and NA10 cells that were significantly changed by both compared to the ND13(N51S) mutant. Intriguingly, several of these potential Hox target genes have been implicated in HSC expansion and self-renewal, including the tyrosine kinase receptor Flt3, the prion protein, Prnp, hepatic leukemia factor, Hlf and Jagged-2, Jag2. CONCLUSIONS: In conclusion this study has identified several novel Hox downstream target genes and provides important new leads to key regulators of the expansion and transformation of hematopoietic stem cells by Hox. Experiment Overall Design: Adult murine bone marrow cells transduced with vectors carrying ND13, NA10, ND13(N51S) or an empty GFP control vector (MIG) were isolated on the basis of GFP expression by FACS 24 hours post-transduction. Viable transduced cells were further enriched for primitive hematopoietic cells by exclusion of cells expressing linage markers (Gr-1, B220, Ter-119, CD4, CD5 and CD8) and selection for cells expressing the stem cell antigen-1 (Sca-1). Three independent experiments were performed for each of the four different conditions included in the study.

Project description:The homeobox gene HOXA10 plays a key role in endometrial differentiation during embryogenesis and is abundantly expressed in the adult endometrium and decidual cells. In the adult endometrium the expression of HOXA10 is regulated by estrogen and progesterone and the levels are highest in the decidualized cells. We have shown that HOXA10 is required in the endometrial cells to maintain the decidual cell phenotype. In this study we aimed to determine the molecular mechanisms by which HOXA10 maintains the decidual phenotype and the other roles it might have in decidual physiology. In vitro decidualized human endometrial stromal cells were knocked down for HOXA10 using siRNA and gene expression profiles of the scrambled and HOXA10 siRNA transfected cells were compared at 24, 48 and 72 h post transfection. Several genes having multiple functions were found to be differentially expressed. We postulate that HOXA10 is required by the decidual cells to support immune cell differentiation, trophoblast invasion and cellular remodeling.
