Project description:Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and their progeny sustain lifetime hematopoiesis. Aging alters HSC function, number, and composition and increases risk of hematological malignancies, but how these changes occur in HSCs remains unclear. Signaling via p38MAPK has been proposed as a candidate mechanism underlying induction of HSC aging. Here, using genetic models of both chronological and premature aging, we describe a multimodal role for p38α, the major p38MAPK isozyme in hematopoiesis, in HSC aging. We report that p38α regulates differentiation bias and sustains transplantation capacity of HSCs in the early phase of chronological aging (from young to 1-year-old). However, p38α decreased HSC transplantation capacity in the late progression phase of chronological aging (from 1- to 2-years-old). Furthermore, co-deletion of p38α in mice deficient in Ataxia-telangiectasia mutated (Atm), a model of premature aging, exacerbated aging-related HSC phenotypes seen in Atm single mutant mice. Mechanistically, p38α makes a positive contribution to inflammation during the late phase aging, resulting in defects in 2-year-old HSCs. Overall, we propose multiple functions of p38MAPK, which both promotes and suppresses HSC aging context-dependently.

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:Objective Recent evidence indicates that the adult hematopoietic system is susceptible to diet-induced lineage skewing. It is not known whether the developing hematopoietic system is subject to metabolic programming via in utero high fat diet (HFD) exposure, an established mechanism of adult disease in several organ systems. We previously reported substantial losses in offspring liver size with prenatal HFD. As the liver is the main hematopoietic organ in the fetus, we asked whether the developmental expansion of the hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell (HSPC) pool is compromised by prenatal HFD and/or maternal obesity. Methods We used quantitative assays, progenitor colony formation, flow cytometry, transplantation, and gene expression assays with a series of dietary manipulations to test the effects of gestational high fat diet and maternal obesity on the day 14.5 fetal liver hematopoietic system. Results Maternal obesity, particularly when paired with gestational HFD, restricts physiological expansion of fetal HSPCs while promoting the opposing cell fate of differentiation. Importantly, these effects are only partially ameliorated by gestational dietary adjustments for obese dams. Competitive transplantation reveals compromised repopulation and myeloid-biased differentiation of HFD-programmed HSPCs to be a niche-dependent defect, apparent in HFD-conditioned male recipients. Fetal HSPC deficiencies coincide with perturbations in genes regulating metabolism, immune and inflammatory processes, and stress response, along with downregulation of genes critical for hematopoietic stem cell self-renewal and activation of pathways regulating cell migration. Conclusions Our data reveal a previously unrecognized susceptibility to nutritional and metabolic developmental programming in the fetal HSPC compartment, which is a partially reversible and microenvironment-dependent defect perturbing stem and progenitor cell expansion and hematopoietic lineage commitment. Examination of differentially expressed genes between gestational day 15 (+/- 0.5 days) C57BL/6 mouse fetal livers from diet-induced (60% fat diet) obese or control female mice.

Project description:ETS Variant 6 (ETV6) encodes an essential transcriptional repressor abundantly expressed in hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs), where it is required for adult hematopoiesis. Heterozygous pathogenic germline ETV6 variants are associated with Thrombocytopenia 5 (T5), a poorly-understood genetic condition predisposing to thrombocytopenia and hematologic malignancies. To elucidate how germline ETV6 variants impact the HSPC compartment and contribute to disease, we generated a knock-in mouse harboring an Etv6R355X loss-of-function variant, which represents the mouse equivalent to the T5-associated variant ETV6R359X. All HSPC subpopulations are present in the bone marrow (BM) of Etv6R355X/+ mice under homeostatic conditions; however, these animals exhibit subtle shifts in the proportions and/or numbers of specific progenitor subtypes. To examine whether the Etv6R355X/+ mutation impacts HSPC function, we carried out serial competitive transplantation and observed that Etv6R355X/+ lineagesca1+cKit+ (LSK) cells exhibit significantly impaired reconstitution, with near complete failure to repopulate irradiated-recipients by the tertiary transplant. Mechanistic studies incorporating CUT&RUN, ATAC-Seq and Hi-C identify ETV6 binding at inflammatory gene loci, including those within the TNF pathway in Etv6+/+ HSPCs, the mouse BM-progenitor derived HPC5 cell line, and G-CSF-mobilized human CD34+ cells. Further, single-cell RNA sequencing of mouse LSK cells isolated six-weeks post-competitive transplantation reveals upregulation of inflammatory gene pathways. Corroborating these findings, we observe significantly increased production of TNF by Etv6R355X/+ versus Etv6+/+ HSPCs post-transplantation. From these studies, we conclude that ETV6 represses inflammatory response genes within HSPCs under conditions of hematopoietic stress, and that this mechanism may be critical to sustain HSPC function.

Mechanistic studies incorporating CUT&RUN, ATAC-Seq and Hi-C identify ETV6 binding at inflammatory gene loci, including those within the TNF signaling pathway, in Etv6+/+ HSPCs, mouse BM-progenitor-derived HPC5 cells, and human CD34+ cells. Further, single-cell RNA-Seq of BM cells isolated post-competitive transplantation reveals upregulation of inflammatory genes in Etv6R355X/+ compared to Etv6+/+ progenitors. Corroborating these findings, Etv6R355X/+ HSPCs produce significantly more TNF than Etv6+/+ cells post-transplantation. From these studies, we conclude that ETV6 is required to repress inflammatory gene expression in HSPCs under conditions of hematopoietic stress and this mechanism may be critical to sustain HSPC function.

Project description:Mesenchymal Stromal Cells (MSCs) have been employed in vitro to support HSPC expansion and in vivo to promote Hematopoietic Stem and Progenitor Cells (HSPCs) engraftment. Based on these studies, we developed an MSC-based co-culture system to optimize transplantation outcome of CRISPR-Cas9 gene-edited (GE) human HSPCs. We show that bone marrow (BM)-MSCs produce several hematopoietic supportive and anti-inflammatory factors capable to alleviate the proliferation arrest and mitigate the apoptotic and inflammatory programs activated in GE-HSPCs, improving their expansion and clonogenic potential in vitro. The use of BM-MSCs resulted in superior human engraftment and increased clonal output of GE-HSPCs contributing to the early phase of hematological reconstitution in the peripheral blood of transplanted mice. In conclusion, our work poses the biological bases for a novel clinical use of BM-MSCs to promote engraftment of GE-HSPCs and improve their transplantation outcome.
