Transcription profiling of human CD34+ cells and treatment with UTP and CXCL12

ABSTRACT: Homing and engraftment of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) to the bone marrow (BM) involve a complex interplay between chemokines, cytokines, and non-peptide molecules. Extracellular nucleotides and their cognate P2 receptors are emerging as key-factors of inflammation and related chemotactic responses. In this study, we investigated the activity of extracellular adenosine-triphosphate (ATP) and uridine-triphosphate (UTP) on CXCL12-stimulated CD34+ HSC chemotaxis. In vitro, UTP significantly improved HSC migration, inhibited cell membrane CXCR4 down-regulation of migrating CD34+ cells and increased cell adhesion to fibronectin. In vivo, pre-incubation with UTP significantly enhanced the BM homing efficiency of human CD34+ cells in immunodeficient mice. Pertussis toxin blocked CXCL12- and UTP-dependent chemotactic responses, suggesting that G-protein alpha-subunits (GÎ±i) may provide a converging signal for CXCR4- and P2Y-activated transduction pathways. In addition, gene expression profiling of UTP-treated CD34+ cells and in vitro inhibition assays demonstrated that Rho guanosine 5â-triphosphatases (GTPase) Rac2 and downstream effectors Rho GTPaseâactivated kinases 1 and 2 (ROCK1/2) are involved in UTP-promoted/CXCL12-dependent HSC migration. Our data suggest that UTP may physiologically modulate the migration of HSCs and their homing to the BM, in concert with CXCL12, via the activation of converging signaling pathways between CXCR4 and P2Y receptors, involving GÎ±i proteins and RhoGTPases. Experiment Overall Design: Highly purified CD34+ cells from 6 healthy donors were seeded at 1000000 cells/ml in serum free medium (EX vivo 15) w/o cytokines and treated with 10 mM UTP, 150ng/ml CXCL12, or 10 mM UTP plus 150ng/ml CXCL12 respectively for 24 hours. As a control, CD34+ untreated cells were maintained in the same culture conditions at the same time.

Project description:Intense immunosuppression followed by autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (aHSCT) is a potential treatment for patients suffering from aggressive multiple sclerosis (MS). However it remains unresolved whether autologous CD34+ hematopoietic progenitor cells of MS patients show gene expression differences prior to aHSCT that indicate a preset proinflammatory state, which would then also predispose to or predetermine recurrence of the autoimmune disease. To approach this key point we compared the gene expression signature of CD34+ and CD34- cells collected from MS patients and healthy donors (HD). Whole genome gene expression of CD34+ and CD34- cells was analysed with the Human 4x44K Design Array (Agilent-Technologies). As main observation we found only minor differences in the gene expression signature of MS patients compared to HD. Only a single gene, troponin-type-1 (TNNT1), reached statistical significance after correction for multiple comparisons (logFC=3.1, p<0.01). There was a decreased expression of several protease genes, myeloperoxidase (MPO), neutrophil-elastase (ELA2), cathepsin-G (CTSG) and serine-protease 21 (PRSS21) in HPCs of MS patients, albeit not reaching statistical significance. In summary we did not detect substantial alterations in the gene expression profile of CD34+ HPCs in MS. Our data support the use of autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for treatment of an autoimmune disease. Samples of CD34+ cells were obtained from 4 female MS patients and 4 age matched healthy donors (3 female) mobilized by G-CSF (2x5M-NM-<g/kg/day) and 4 MS patients (2 female) mobilized by G-CSF (5M-NM-<g/kg/day) plus Cyclophosphamide (Cy, 4g/m2). White blood cells, containing the CD34+ cell fraction, were collected by leucocytapheresis from peripheral blood, frozen and stored in liquid nitrogen. All samples were thawed and processed at one center and CD34+ HPCs purified by magnetic bead separation using the autoMACS system (Miltenyi). Purity and viability of CD34+ cells was analyzed by Fluorescence Activated Cell Sorter (FACS). Total cellular RNA were extracted with TRIzol reagent and analyzed with the Human 4x44K Design Array (Agilent-Technologies).
