Niche stiffening compromises stem cell potential during aging by reducing chromatin accessibility at bivalent promoters

ABSTRACT: Tissue homeostasis and regeneration require activation and subsequent lineage commitment of tissue-resident stem cells (SCs). These state changes are controlled by epigenetic barriers. Using hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs) as paradigm, we studied how aging impacts the chromatin landscape and function of mammalian SCs. Analyses of genome-wide chromatin accessibility revealed that aged HFSCs displayed widespread reduction of chromatin accessibility specifically at key SC self-renewal and differentiation genes that were characterized by bivalent promoters carrying both activating and repressive chromatin marks. Consistently, aged HFSCs showed reduced self-renewing capacity and attenuated ability to activate expression of these bivalent genes upon regeneration. These functional defects were niche-dependent as transplantation of aged HFSCs into young recipients or into ex vivo niches restored SC functions and transcription of poised genes. Mechanistically, aged HFSC niche displayed wide-spread alterations in extracellular matrix composition and mechanics, resulting in compressive forces on SCs and subsequent transcriptional repression, leading to loss of bivalent promoters. Tuning tissue mechanics both in vivo and in vitro recapitulated age-related SC changes, implicating niche mechanics as a central regulator of genome organization and function leading to age-dependent SC exhaustion.

Muscle-secreted G-CSF as a metabolic niche factor ameliorates loss of muscle stem cell in aged mice (scRNA-seq)

Project description:Function and number of muscle stem cells (satellite cells, SCs) declines with muscle aging. Although SCs are heterogeneous and different subpopulations have been identified, it remains unknown if a specific subpopulation of muscle SCs selectively decreases during aging. Here, we find Pax7Hi cells are dramatically reduced in aged mice and this aged-dependent loss of Pax7Hi cells is metabolically mediated by myofiber-secreted granulocyte-colony stimulating factor G-CSF as the Pax7Hi SCs are replenished by exercise-induced G-CSF in aged mice. Mechanistically, we show that transcription of G-CSF (Csf3) gene in myofibers is regulated by MyoD in a metabolism-dependent manner and the myofibers-secreted G-CSF acts as a metabolic niche factor required for establishing and maintaining the Pax7Hi SC subpopulation in adult and physiological aged mice by promoting the asymmetric division of Pax7Hi and Pax7Mi SCs. Together, our findings uncover a metabolic niche role of muscle metabolism in regulating Pax7 SC heterogeneity in mice.

Transcriptome sequencing analysis of satellite cells by RNA-seq

Project description:Regulation of chromatin accessibility is critical for cell fate decisions. Chromatin architecture responds to extrinsic environments rapidly. The traditional adult stem cell isolation approach requires tissue dissociation, and adult stem cells respond to the stimulation and adapt a different chromatin conformation. Here, we characterized the DNA regulatory landscape and transcriptomic profile of muscle stem cell quiescence exit and self-renewal by time-course profiling of the in situ fixed SCs upon injury-induced activation and during aging. Detailed analysis of the chromatin accessibility profiles leads to the identification of enhancer elements for SC quiescence. Constant activation of the enhancer elements promotes stemness and prevents SCs from differentiation, whereas loss of them causes cell-cycle arrest and essentially leads to defects in SC activation. Interestingly, we also showed that aged SCs display a more open chromatin environment than young SCs. Our compre hensive characterization of the chromatin accessibility and transcriptomic landscapes during SC quiescence exit and self-renewal broadens our understanding of this process and identifies functional distal regulatory elements for SC function.

A stem cell-driven lymphoangiogenic switch (scRNA-seq)

Project description:Tissues rely on stem cells (SCs) for homeostasis and wound-repair. SCs reside in specialized microenvironments (niches) whose complexities and roles in orchestrating tissue growth are still unfolding. Here, we identify lymphatic capillaries as critical SC niche components. In skin, lymphatics form intimate networks around the SCs of each hair follicle (HF) during their non-regenerative phase, and remodel upon regeneration. Seeking understanding, we unravel a secretome switch within SCs that controls lymphatic behavior. Resting SCs express Angiopoietin-like 7 (Angptl7), promoting lymphatic drainage. Upon activation, SCs trigger an anti-lympho-angiogenic program, transiently sparking lymphatic dilation and dampened drainage. In mammals, this dynamic aria between SCs and lymphatics is essential for coordinating HFSC behavior and hair regeneration: Upon either depleting lymphatics, silencing Angptl7 or super-activating anti-lympho-angiogenesis, SCs precociously proliferate and HF regeneration becomes asynchronous. In unearthing lymphatic capillaries as a hitherto under-appreciated SC-niche element, we’ve learned how SCs coordinate their activity across a tissue.
