Differential requirements for Smarca5 expression during hematopoietic stem cell commitment.

ABSTRACT: The formation of hematopoietic cells relies on the chromatin remodeling activities of ISWI ATPase SMARCA5 (SNF2H) and its complexes. The Smarca5 null and conditional alleles have been used to study its functions in embryonic and organ development in mice. These mouse model phenotypes vary from embryonic lethality of constitutive knockout to less severe phenotypes observed in tissue-specific Smarca5 deletions, e.g., in the hematopoietic system. Here we show that, in a gene dosage-dependent manner, the hypomorphic allele of SMARCA5 (S5tg) can rescue not only the developmental arrest in hematopoiesis in the hCD2iCre model but also the lethal phenotypes associated with constitutive Smarca5 deletion or Vav1iCre-driven conditional knockout in hematopoietic progenitor cells. Interestingly, the latter model also provided evidence for the role of SMARCA5 expression level in hematopoietic stem cells, as the Vav1iCre S5tg animals accumulate stem and progenitor cells. Furthermore, their hematopoietic stem cells exhibited impaired lymphoid lineage entry and differentiation. This observation contrasts with the myeloid lineage which is developing without significant disturbances. Our findings indicate that animals with low expression of SMARCA5 exhibit normal embryonic development with altered lymphoid entry within the hematopoietic stem cell compartment.

Project description:Stem cell differentiation and lineage specification depend on coordinated programs of gene expression, but our knowledge of the chromatin modifying factors regulating these events remains incomplete. Ubiquitination of histone H2A (H2A-K119u) is a common chromatin modification associated with gene silencing, and controlled by the ubiquitin-ligase polycomb repressor complex 1 (PRC1) and H2A-deubiquitinating enzymes (H2A-DUBs). The roles of H2A-DUBs in mammalian development, stem cells, and haematopoiesis have not been addressed. Here we characterized an H2A-DUB targeted mouse line Mysm1-tm1a/tm1a and demonstrated defects in bone marrow haematopoiesis, resulting in lymphopenia, anemia, and thrombocytosis. Development of lymphocytes was impaired from the earliest stages of their differentiation; and there was also a depletion of erythroid cells and a defect in erythroid progenitor function. These phenotypes were due to a cell-intrinsic requirement for Mysm1 in the bone marrow. Importantly, Mysm1-tm1a/tm1a haematopoietic stem cells were functionally impaired, and this was associated with elevated levels of reactive oxygen species, γH2AX DNA damage marker, and p53 protein in the haematopoietic progenitors. Overall these data establish a role for Mysm1 in the maintenance of bone marrow stem cell function, in the control of oxidative stress and genetic stability in haematopoietic progenitors, and in the development of lymphoid and erythroid lineages. Total RNA from different mouse tissues (liver, bone marrow, brain) and cell types (embryonic fibroblasts - MEFs, and embryonic stem cells - ESCs) from wild type, Mysm1+/tm1a (heterozygous), and Mysm1tma1/tm1a (homozygous) mice was analyzed. Tissue and MEFs comparisons are between 3-4 animals per group; ESC comparisons are between three independently passaged samples of wild type, Mysm1+/tm1a, and Mysm1tma1/tm1aES-cells, all on C57BL/6 background. Full allele name: Mysm1tm1a(KOMP)WTSI . This Series includes the data from the cells.

Project description:CCAAT/enhancer binding protein beta (C/EBPb) is a member of a family of highly conserved transcription factors that regulates numerous genes involved in proliferation and differentiation in a variety of tissues. C/EBPb is deregulated in human breast cancer and germline deletion of this gene results in multiple defects in mammary gland development. We hypothesized that C/EBPb regulates mammary stem cell self-renewal, maintenance and/or differentiation through the regulation of multiple target genes that coordinate mammary gland development. Utilizing both a germline knockout mouse model and a conditional knockout strategy, we demonstrated that mammosphere formation was significantly decreased in C/EBPb-deficient mammary epithelial cells (MECs). The ability of C/EBPb-deleted MECs to regenerate the mammary gland in vivo was severely impaired when transplanted at limiting dilution. Furthermore, serial transplantation of C/EBPb-null mammary tissue resulted in decreased outgrowth potential when compared to wildtype, and an early senescence phenotype. Flow cytometric analysis revealed that C/EBPb-null MECs contain a lower frequency of repopulating stem cells accompanied by an increase in committed, differentiated luminal cells as compared to wildtype. Microarray analysis of stem/progenitor cell populations was performed and revealed an alteration in cell fate specification in C/EBPb-null glands, exemplified by the aberrant expression of basal markers in the luminal cell compartment. Collectively, our studies demonstrate that C/EBPb is a critical regulator of mammary stem cell differentiation, and an important determinant of luminal cell fate specification. Experiment Overall Design: To identify potential signaling pathways regulated by C/EBPb in stem/progenitor cells, microarray analysis was performed on two stem/progenitor cell subpopulations. For this analysis, subpopulations defined by LIN-CD24+CD29hi and LIN-CD24hiCD29lo were FACS sorted from wildtype and germline C/EBPb-/- glands, and RNA was isolated from each group.
