Early Events in Hematopoietic Cells Reprogramming into iPS Cells

ABSTRACT: Fibroblasts are the most commonly used model in probing the complex process of somatic reprogramming. Although hematopoietic cells represents a more convenient and accesible/ or “an excellent alternative” starting cell type, the molecular mechanisms in hematopoietic reprogramming are poorly defined. In the present study, we showed that hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) with long term repopulating potential, among several HSPC populations, are more amenable for reprogramming, and exhibit an efficient induction of transcriptional program involved in the promation of cell prolifieration and inhibition of apoptosis. In sharp comparison with fibroblasts, HSPCs possess distinct requirements for the activation of Tgf-b and wnt pathways in the initiation phase of reprograming, which can be attributable, at lease partially, to differentiall expression of key signaling genes in these two cell types. Our data demonstrate that lineage and developmental/differentiation stage-specific context define key early events in the reprogramming of hematopoietic cells to pluripotency. Examine the differential global gene expression among different hematopietic cells in reprogramming. LT-HSC, ST-HSC, MP and fibroblasts were used in this study. Doxcycline addition could induce expression of oct4, sox2, klf4 and c-myc, consequently reprogramming these cells into iPS cells. Hematopietic cells cultured with doxcycline for 0, 2, 4 days were sampled, and samples at the same timepoint without doxcycline were also taken to exclude vast gene expression change in hematopoietic cell in-vitro culture. Fibroblast samples induced by doxcycline for 0, 2, 4 days were also introduced to provide comparism between lineages.

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.
