Project description:Neutrophils are short-lived immune cells that play important roles in a variety of diseases. The oligopotent Granulocyte Monocyte Progenitors (GMP) in the bone marrow give rise to monocytes and all granulocytes. Although several monocyte progenitors have been identified in mouse bone marrow, the unipotent neutrophil progenitors are still not well-defined. Here, we use Cytometry by Time-of-Flight (CyTOF) and Single-cell RNA-Sequencing (scRNA-Seq) methodologies to identify a committed unipotent early-stage neutrophil progenitor in adult mouse bone marrow. Importantly, we also discovered a similar unipotent, committed neutrophil progenitor (hNeP) that is present in healthy human bone marrow. Both mouse and human progenitors demonstrate unipotent neutrophil potency in vivo. Study of the identified mouse (NeP) and human (hNeP) neutrophil progenitors in cancer revealed that both NeP and hNeP significantly increased tumor growth when transferred into murine cancer models, including a humanized model. Further, we discovered that the hNeP was present in the blood of human patients recently diagnosed with melanoma, and could be readily identified by flow cytometry, suggesting that this human neutrophil progenitor could be used as a biomarker for early cancer discovery. The discovery of this early committed unipotent neutrophil progenitor in humans will allow for development of important new therapeutic targets for regulation of neutrophil levels and function in disease, particularly in cancers, where neutrophils play a significant role.

Project description:MicroRNAs are small non-coding RNAs that regulate cellular development by interfering with mRNA stability and translation. We defined the kinetics of global microRNA expression during the differentiation of murine hematopoietic progenitors into megakaryocytes. Of 435 miRNAs analyzed, 13 were upregulated and 81 were downregulated. Many of these changes are consistent with miRNA profiling studies of human megakaryocytes and platelets, although new patterns also emerged. Among 7 conserved miRNAs that were upregulated most strongly in megakaryocytes, 6 were also induced in the related erythroid lineage. MiR-146a was strongly upregulated during mouse and human megakaryopoiesis, but not erythropoiesis. However, overexpression of miR-146a in mouse bone marrow hematopoietic progenitor populations produced no detectable alterations in megakaryocyte development or platelet production in vivo or in colony assays. Our findings extend the repertoire of differentially regulated miRNAs during murine megakaryopoiesis and provide a useful new dataset for hematopoiesis research. In addition, we show that enforced hematopoietic expression of miR-146a has minimal effects on megakaryopoiesis. These results are compatible with prior studies indicating that miR-146a inhibits megakaryocyte production indirectly by suppressing cytokine production from innate immune cells, but cast doubt on a different study, which suggests that this miRNA inhibits megakaryopoiesis cell-autonomously.

Exiqon locked nucleic acid (LNA) microarrays were used to compare microRNA expression in starting populations (ter 119- progenitors) and purified megakaryocytes. Day13.5-14.5 murine fetal livers (strain CD1) were depleted of erythroid cells and cultured with thrombopoietin to generate megakaryocytes. Each total RNA sample (0.5 μg per reaction) was labeled with Hy3 and Hy5 dyes using the Exiqon Power Labeling Kit and automated microarray hybridizations and washes were performed on a Tecan HS4800 station with 20 hr hybridization at 56ºC. Dye-swap pairs of three replicate experiments comparing Ter119- fetal liver cells vs. BSA-purified megakaryocytes were co-hybridized to six arrays. The geometric average of the 532 and 635 measurements after normalization was determined for each sample.

Project description:Background: Recent advances in single-cell techniques have provided the opportunity to finely dissect cellular heterogeneity within populations previously defined by âbulkâ assays and to uncover rare cell types. In human hematopoiesis, megakaryocytes and erythroid cells differentiate from a shared precursor, the megakaryocyte-erythroid progenitor (MEP), which remains poorly defined.Results: To clarify the cellular pathway in erythro-megakaryocyte differentiation, we correlated the surface immunophenotype, transcriptional profile and differentiation potential of individual MEP cells. Highly purified, single MEP cells (n=681) were analyzed using index fluorescence-activated cell sorting with parallel targeted transcriptional profiling of the same cells performed using a specifically designed panel of 87 genes. Differentiation potential was tested in novel, single-cell differentiation assays. Our results demonstrated that immunophenotypic MEP in fact comprise three distinct subpopulations: (1) âPre-MEPâ, enriched for erythroid/megakaryocyte progenitors but with residual myeloid differentiation capacity (2) âE-MEPâ, strongly biased towards erythroid differentiation, and (3) âMK-MEPâ, a previously undescribed, rare population of cells that are bipotent but primarily generate megakaryocytic progeny. Therefore, conventionally-defined MEP are in fact a mixed population: a minority give rise to mixed-lineage colonies while the majority of cells are transcriptionally-primed to generate exclusively single-lineage output. Conclusions: Our study clarifies the cellular hierarchy in human megakaryocyte/erythroid lineage commitment and highlights the importance of using a combination of single-cell approaches to dissect cellular heterogeneity and identify rare cell types within a population. We present a novel immunophenotyping strategy that enables the prospective identification of specific intermediate progenitor populations in erythro-megakaryopoiesis, allowing for in-depth study of disorders including inherited cytopenias, myeloproliferative disorders and erythromegakaryocytic leukemias. Multiplex RT-PCR gene expression profiling of 807 human megakaryocyte-erythroid progenitor cells (MEP) isolated from three healthy donors by apheresis following G-CSF treatment. Cells were excluded if more than 70 assays did not result in amplification or displayed Ct higer than 13 for B2M or higher than 15 for GAPDH. Furthermore cells with a mean non-dropout Ct value greater than 20 were removed. This resulted in a dataset of 681 cells, which were subsequently normalised to the mean of B2M and GAPDH expression.

Project description:Frameshift mutations in CALR (calreticulin) are associated with essential thrombocythaemia (ET), but the stages at and mechanisms by which mutant CALR drives transformation remain incompletely defined. Here, we use single-cell approaches to examine the haematopoietic stem/progenitor cell (HSPC) landscape in a mouse model of mutant CALR-driven ET. We identify a trajectory linking HSCs with megakaryocytes, and prospectively identify a novel intermediate population that is overrepresented in the disease state. We also show that mutant CALR drives transformation primarily from the earliest stem cell compartment, with some contribution from megakaryocyte progenitors. Finally, relative to wild-type HSCs, mutant CALR HSCs showed increases in JAK-STAT signalling, the unfolded protein response, cell cycle, and a previously undescribed upregulation of cholesterol biosynthesis. Overall, we have identified a novel megakaryocyte-biased cell population that is increased in a mouse model of ET and described transcriptomic changes linking CALR mutations to increased HSC proliferation and megakaryopoiesis.

Project description:The transcription factor Growth Factor Independence 1B (GFI1B) recruits Lysine Specific Demethylase 1A (LSD1/KDM1A) to stimulate gene programs relevant for megakaryocyte and platelet biology. Inherited pathogenic GFI1B variants result in thrombocytopenia and bleeding propensities with varying intensity. Whether these affect similar gene programs is unknow. Here we studied transcriptomic effects of four patient-derived GFI1B variants (GFI1BT174N,H181Y,R184P,Q287*) in MEG01 megakaryoblasts. Compared to normal GFI1B, each variant affected different gene programs with GFI1BQ287* uniquely failing to repress myeloid traits. In line with this, single cell RNA-sequencing of induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived megakaryocytes revealed a 4.5-fold decrease in the megakaryocyte/myeloid cell ratio in GFI1BQ287* versus normal conditions. Inhibiting the GFI1B-LSD1 interaction with small molecule GSK-LSD1 resulted in activation of myeloid genes in normal iPSC-derived megakaryocytes similar as observed for GFI1BQ287* iPSC-derived megakaryocytes. Thus, GFI1B and LSD1 facilitate gene programs relevant for megakaryopoiesis while simultaneously repressing programs that induce myeloid differentiation.
