Project description:GATA1 is repressed in hematopoietic stem cells. To understand the significance of Gata1 gene silencing in HSC we generated GATA1-HSC overexpressing mice (MG-G1). RNA-seq was performed to analyze the gene expression profiles between MG-G1 and WT adult bone marrow LSK cells to examine the consequence of GATA1 overexpression upon HSC.
Project description:The transcription factor SOX17 is expressed by fetal, but not adult hematoipoietic stem cells (HSCs), and is required for the maintenance of fetal and neonatal, but not adult, HSCs. In the current study we show that ectopic expression of Sox17 in adult HSCs and transiently reconstituting multipotent progenitors was sufficient to confer increased self-renewal potential and the expression of fetal HSC genes including fetal HSC surface markers. To assess the mechanisms by which ectopic Sox17 expression in adult hematopoietic progenitors increased self-renewal potential and conferred fetal HSC properties, we compared the gene expression profiles of E16.5 fetal liver HSCs, young adult bone marrow HSCs, young adult bone marrow CD48+LSK cells, and Sox17-expressing CD48+LSK cells isolated from mice that had been transplanted with MSCV-Sox17-infected bone marrow cells 12 weeks earlier. Total RNA (~5ng) was isolated from 3 independent, freshly isolated aliquots of 10,000 E16.5 fetal liver HSCs, 10,000 fetal liver CD48+LSK cells, 10,000 adult bone marrow HSCs, 10,000 adult bone marrow CD48+LSK cells, 10,000 Sox17-expressing CD48+LSK cells isolated from primary recipients 12 weeks after transplantation of MSCV-Sox17-infected bone marrow cells. Purified RNA was reverse transcribed and amplified using the WT-Ovation™ Pico RNA Amplification system (NuGEN Technologies) following the manufacturer’s instructions. Sense strand cDNA was generated using WT-Ovation™ Exon Module (NuGEN), then fragmented and labeled using the FL-Ovation™ cDNA Biotin Module V2 (NuGEN). 2.5µg of labeled cDNA were hybridized to Affymetrix Mouse Gene ST 1.0 microarrays.
Project description:The study was a comparison of gene expression using RNA-seq. We analyzed the stem and progenitor cells from WT and Vav-cre+ Tet2fl/fl Flt3-ITD (T2F3) mice. We isolated stem cells LSK (lin- sca+ kit+) and granulocyte-macrophage progenitors GMP (lin- sca- kit+ fcgr+ cd34+) cells from bone marrow. Comparisons were made across genotypes WT vs. T2F3 and cell types LSK vs. GMP. Comparison of WT and Tet2-/-Flt3ITD bone marrow stem and progenitor cells.

Project description:HSC-enriched LSK CD150+CD48- and Lin+ hematopoietic populations were sorted from C57Bl6 adult bone marrow. Their transcriptome was established, and pair-wise comparison performed to establish molecular signatures specific of adult HSCs that could be compared to molecular signatures from AGM, fetal liver or placenta HSCs.

Project description:In BRE-GFP transgenic mice BMP activated cells are marked by GFP expression. Analysis of GFP+ and GFP- LSK-SLAM HSC enriched fractions from fetal liver and adult bone marrow shows the interinsic differences in the genetic program of these two HSC enriched fractions.

Project description:We cultured bone marrow derived dendritic cells from WT and CD11c KO mice. Then, a group of bone marrow dendritic cells were stimulated with LPS overnight. We obtained bone marrow derived dendritic cells with or without LPS stimulation and analyzed proteomics profiles.
Project description:We performed RNA sequencing analyses of adult mouse bone marrow lineage-negative, Sca-1-positive, and c-kit-positive (LSK) hematopoietic stem/progenitor cell population. Especially, we investigated gene expression profiling of LSK cells before and after haloperidol treatment.
Project description:The transcriptional coactivator Cbp is critical for hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) development. However, its role in adult HSC and the mechanistic detail of Cbp control of HSC function remains unknown. Using conditional deletion of Cbp in the adult HSC compartment, we demonstrate an altered balance between differentiation and self-renewal with gradual loss of phenotypic HSC, differentiation defects in lower compartments and the development of myeloid malignancies. In addition, we demonstrate that Cbp -/- HSCs reconstitute hematopoiesis with lower efficiency than their wild type counterparts and readily exhaust over time when placed under the replicative stress of serial transplantation. Furthermore, we demonstrate abnormal cell cycle (re)entry and apoptosis in HSC which, with preferential differentiation, also contribute to stem cell exhaustion. Finally we demonstrate global transcriptional abnormalities predicted to alter cell cycle control, balanced differentiation and HSC function upon Cbp deletion and link Cbp to a critical HSC transcriptional regulatory network through genome-wide analysis of Cbp binding. Genome-wide gene expression analysis of LSK population after Cbp deletion. The LSK population of bone marrow is enriched for hematopoietic stem cells. Total RNA was extracted from flow-sorted LSK population of bone marrow, 4 weeks after pIpC induced deletion of Cbp. 2 replicates for Cbp wt control, 2 replicates for Cbp Mx.
