Shwachman-Diamond syndrome (SDS) is an inherited bone marrow failure syndrome caused by biallelic SBDS gene mutations. Here we examined SBDS protein levels in human bone marrow. SBDS protein expression was high in neutrophil progenitors, megakaryocytes, plasma cells, and osteoblasts. In contrast, SBDS protein levels were low in all hematopoietic cell lineages from patients harboring the common SBDS mutations. We conclude that SBDS protein levels vary widely between specific marrow lineages. Unif ...[more]

Project description:Bone marrow (BM) niche-derived signals are critical for facilitating engraftment after hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) transplantation (HSCT). HSCT is required for restoration of hematopoiesis in patients with inherited BM failure syndromes (iBMFSs). Shwachman-Diamond syndrome (SDS) is a rare iBMFS associated with mutations in SBDS. Previous studies have demonstrated that SBDS deficiency in osteolineage niche cells causes BM dysfunction that promotes leukemia development. However, it is unknown whether BM niche defects caused by SBDS deficiency also impair efficient engraftment of healthy donor HSC after HSCT, a hypothesis that could explain morbidity noted after clinical HSCT for patients with SDS. Here, we report a mouse model with inducible Sbds deletion in hematopoietic and osteolineage cells. Primary and secondary BM transplantation (BMT) studies demonstrated that SBDS deficiency within BM niches caused poor donor hematopoietic recovery and specifically poor HSC engraftment after myeloablative BMT. We have also identified multiple molecular and cellular defects within niche populations that are driven by SBDS deficiency and are accentuated by or develop specifically after myeloablative conditioning. These abnormalities include altered frequencies of multiple niche cell subsets, including mesenchymal lineage cells, macrophages, and endothelial cells; disruption of growth factor signaling, chemokine pathway activation, and adhesion molecule expression; and p53 pathway activation and signals involved in cell cycle arrest. Taken together, this study demonstrates that SBDS deficiency profoundly impacts recipient hematopoietic niche function in the setting of HSCT, suggesting that novel therapeutic strategies targeting host niches could improve clinical HSCT outcomes for patients with SDS.

Project description:Interfaces between soft tissue and bone are characterized by transitional gradients in composition and structure that mediate substantial changes in mechanical properties. For interfacial tissue engineering, scaffolds with mineral gradients have shown promise in controlling osteogenic behavior of seeded bone marrow stromal cells (bMSCs). Previously, we have demonstrated a 'top-down' method for creating monolithic bone-derived scaffolds with patterned mineral distributions similar to native tissue. In the present work, we evaluated the ability of these scaffolds to pattern osteogenic behavior in bMSCs in basic, osteogenic, and chondrogenic biochemical environments. Immunohistochemical (IHC) and histological stains were used to characterize cellular behavior as a function of local mineral content. Alkaline phosphatase, an early marker of osteogenesis, and osteocalcin, a late marker of osteogenesis, were positively correlated with mineral content in basic, osteogenic, and chondrogenic media. The difference in bMSC behavior between the mineralized and demineralized regions was most pronounced in an basic biochemical environment. In the mineralized regions of the scaffold, osteogenic markers were clearly present as early as 4 days in culture. In osteogenic media, osteogenic behavior was observed across the entire scaffold, whereas in chondrogenic media, there was an overall reduction in osteogenic biomarkers. Overall, these results indicate local mineral content of the scaffold plays a key role in spatially patterning bMSC behavior. Our results can be utilized for the development of interfacial tissue engineered scaffolds and understanding the role of local environment in determining bMSC behavior. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Soft tissue-to-bone interfaces, such as tendon-bone, ligament-bone, and cartilage-bone, are ubiquitous in mammalian musculoskeletal systems. These interfacial tissues have distinct, hierarchically-structured gradients of cellular, biochemical, and materials components. Given the complexity of the biological structures, interfacial tissues present unique challenges for tissue engineering. Here, we demonstrate that material-derived cues can spatially pattern osteogenic behavior in bone marrow stromal cells (bMSCs). Specifically, we observed that when the bMSCs are cultured on bone-derived scaffolds with mineral gradients, cells in contact with higher mineral content display osteogenic behavior at earlier times than those on the unmineralized substrate. The ability to pattern the cellular complexity found in native interfaces while maintaining biologically relevant structures is a key step towards creating engineered tissue interfaces.

Project description:Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are widely used in transplantation therapy to treat a variety of blood diseases. The success of hematopoietic recovery is of high importance and closely related to the patient's morbidity and mortality after Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). We have previously shown that SALL4 is a potent stimulator for the expansion of human hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells in vitro. In these studies, we demonstrated that systemic administration with TAT-SALL4B resulted in expediting auto-reconstitution and inducing a 30-fold expansion of endogenous HSCs/HPCs in mice exposed to a high dose of irradiation. Most importantly, TAT-SALL4B treatment markedly prevented death in mice receiving lethal irradiation. Our studies also showed that TAT-SALL4B treatment was able to enhance both the short-term and long-term engraftment of human cord blood (CB) cells in NOD/SCID mice and the mechanism was likely related to the in vivo expansion of donor cells in a recipient. This robust expansion was required for the association of SALL4B with DNA methyltransferase complex, an epigenetic regulator critical in maintaining HSC pools and in normal lineage progression. Our results may provide a useful strategy to enhance hematopoietic recovery and reconstitution in cord blood transplantation with a recombinant TAT-SALL4B fusion protein.

Project description:Despite recent therapeutic advances, systemic mastocytosis (SM) remains an incurable disease due to limited complete remission (CR) rates even after novel therapies. To date, no study has evaluated the expression on SM bone marrow mast cells (BMMC) of large panel of cell surface suitable for antibody-targeted therapy. In this study, we analyzed the expression profile of six cell-surface proteins for which antibody-based therapies are available, on BMMC from 166 SM patients vs. 40 controls. Overall, variable patterns of expression for the markers evaluated were observed among SM BMMC. Thus, CD22, CD30, and CD123, while expressed on BMMC from patients within every subtype of SM, showed highly variable patterns with a significant fraction of negative cases among advanced SM (aggressive SM (ASM), ASM with an associated clonal non-MC lineage disease (ASM-AHN) and MC leukemia (MCL)), 36%, 46%, and 39%, respectively. In turn, CD25 and Fc?RI were found to be expressed in most cases (89% and 92%) in virtually all BMMC (median: 92% and 95%) from both indolent and advanced SM, but with lower/absent levels in a significant fraction of MC leukemia (MCL) and both in MCL and well-differentiated SM (WDSM) patients, respectively. In contrast, CD33 was the only marker expressed on all BMMC from every SM patient. Thus, CD33 emerges as the best potentially targetable cell-surface membrane marker in SM, particularly in advanced SM.

Project description:Despite significant progress in our understanding of mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) biology during recent years, much of the information is based on experiments using in vitro culture-selected stromal progenitor cells. Therefore, the natural cellular identity of MSCs remains poorly defined. Numerous studies have reported that CD44 expression is one of the characteristics of MSCs in both humans and mice; however, we here have prospectively isolated bone marrow stromal cell subsets from both human and mouse bone marrow by flow cytometry and characterized them by gene expression analysis and function assays. Our data provide functional and molecular evidence suggesting that primary mesenchymal stem and progenitor cells of bone marrow reside in the CD44(-) cell fraction in both mice and humans. The finding that these CD44(-) cells acquire CD44 expression after in vitro culture provides an explanation for the previous misconceptions concerning CD44 expression on MSCs. In addition, the other previous reported MSC markers, including CD73, CD146, CD271, and CD106/VCAM1, are also differentially expressed on those two cell types. Our microarray data revealed a distinct gene expression profile of the freshly isolated CD44(-) cells and the cultured MSCs generated from these cells. Thus, we conclude that bone marrow MSCs physiologically lack expression of CD44, highlighting the natural phenotype of MSCs and opening new possibilities to prospectively isolate MSCs from the bone marrow.

Project description:Attempts to treat congenital protein deficiencies using bone marrow-derived cells have been reported. These efforts have been based on the concepts of stem cell plasticity. However, it is considered more difficult to restore structural proteins than to restore secretory enzymes. This study aims to clarify whether bone marrow transplantation (BMT) treatment can rescue epidermolysis bullosa (EB) caused by defects in keratinocyte structural proteins. BMT treatment of adult collagen XVII (Col17) knockout mice induced donor-derived keratinocytes and Col17 expression associated with the recovery of hemidesmosomal structure and better skin manifestations, as well improving the survival rate. Both hematopoietic and mesenchymal stem cells have the potential to produce Col17 in the BMT treatment model. Furthermore, human cord blood CD34(+) cells also differentiated into keratinocytes and expressed human skin component proteins in transplanted immunocompromised (NOD/SCID/gamma(c)(null)) mice. The current conventional BMT techniques have significant potential as a systemic therapeutic approach for the treatment of human EB.

Project description:Tumor protein 53 mutations adversely affect the prognosis of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS); however, few studies have reported on the prognostic significance of the expression of p53 protein in MDS. The current study investigated p53 immunoreactivity (p53-IR) in bone marrow biopsies (BMBs) obtained at diagnosis from 18 patients (6 females and 12 males; mean age, 50.5 years) with MDS that underwent bone marrow transplantation (BMT) to determine the associations between clinical and histopathological data and outcome. There were 5 refractory cytopenia with multilineage dysplasia (RCMD) and 13 refractory anemia with excess blasts, type 2 (RAEB-2) cases. p53-IR was assessed as the percentage of hematopoietic cells exhibiting intense nuclear staining. The cut off for positivity was 5% of stained cells. A positive p53-IR was detected in 7 patients (38.9%) and was associated with age (P=0.005) and pattern of BM fibrosis (P=0.03). A positive p53-IR was more frequent in females, in highly cellular BMBs and in RAEB-2 cases. Overall survival (OS) was associated with patients' age (P=0.01), hemoglobin level (P=0.04), type of MDS (P=0.05), degree of BM fibrosis (P=0.006) and number of BM blasts (P=0.05). The OS of patients with negative p53-IR tended to be longer compared with that of patients with positive p53-IR, although this difference was not statistically significant (P=0.1). Despite the limitation of the low number of cases, the present results indicate that a positive p53-IR at diagnosis is associated with clinically more aggressive MDS subtypes and adverse histological prognostic factors, such as BM fibrosis. Therefore, the evaluation of p53 expression of BMBs of patients with MDS may be introduced in the histopathological work-up of the disease.

Project description:BackgroundSymptomatic pediatric patients referred for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) commonly present with traumatic bone marrow edema (BME) patterns.PurposeWe sought to associate discrete MRI patterns of BME with specific injury mechanisms in pediatric knee injuries to classify injury patterns by anatomical location of the BME. We aimed to group these into 6 patterns: patellar dislocation, extensor mechanism overload, hyperextension, single compartment impaction, ligament avulsion/translation, and direct contusion.MethodsWe retrospectively reviewed 314 MRIs performed with a standard protocol on symptomatic patients aged 3 to 18 years at 1 institution. Our analysis included images, reports, and traumatic BME patterns. A musculoskeletal radiologist and orthopedic surgeon independently assigned 1 of the 6 injury patterns to each scan.ResultsAfter exclusion criteria were applied to the 314 MRIs, 62 (19.7%) remained, 40 boys and 22 girls. The average age was of 12.2 years. The most frequent injury patterns were patellar dislocation (n = 22, 35%) and extensor mechanism overload (n = 14, 22%). κ value associated with pattern determination was .766, indicating substantial concordance. Bone marrow edema signal intensity on fat-suppressed sequences was classified as severe in 92% of cases.ConclusionsThe strength of pediatric knee ligaments and tendons relative to epiphyseal bone may contribute to a high rate of BME injury patterns seen on MRI in symptomatic pediatric patients. We found that pediatric BME could be classified into 6 specific injury patterns, which might be useful to clinicians in recognizing mechanisms of injury. Further clinical studies are needed to assess the clinical differences in both short-term and long-term outcomes of the BME patterns described.

Project description:Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are a group of growth factors with dual functions in cancer development and progression. Recently, certain tumor-promoting roles have been identified for selected antagonists/inhibitors (BMPIs) of this developmental pathway. A recent focus on the implication of BMP in colorectal cancer progression has emerged, mainly due to the presence of inactivating mutations in several members of the canonical signaling cascade. However, the detailed expression profiles of BMPIs remain largely unknown. Based on our previous work, whereby three specific BMPIs, gremlin-1 (GREM1), high-temperature requirement A3 (HTRA3) and follistatin (FST) were collectively overexpressed in desmoplastic cocultures of colorectal cancer (CRC), here, we undertook an immunohistochemical approach to describe the patterns of their expression in CRC patients. Two major characteristics described the BMPI expression signature: First, the synchronous and coordinated stromal and epithelial overexpression of individual BMPIs in desmoplastic lesions, which demonstrated that all three of them contribute to increasing levels of BMP antagonism in such areas. Second, the presence of microenvironmental polarity in the BMPI pattern of expression, which was indicated through the preferential expression of HTRA3 in the stromal, and the parallel FST/GREM1 expression in the epithelial component of the investigated sections. In addition, expression of HTRA3 in the epithelial compartment of the tumors demonstrated a significant predictive power to discriminate between tumor-budding-bearing and tumor-budding-free desmoplastic microenvironments. Together, these findings contribute to the understanding of signaling dynamics of BMP antagonism in the colorectal cancer desmoplastic invasion front.

Project description:Stromal cell populations that maintain hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) are generally characterized in steady-state conditions. Here, we report a comprehensive atlas of bone marrow stromal cell subpopulations under homeostatic and stress conditions using mass cytometry (CyTOF)-based single-cell protein analysis. We identified 28 subsets of non-hematopoietic cells during homeostasis, 14 of which expressed hematopoietic regulatory factors. Irradiation-based conditioning for HSPC transplantation led to the loss of most of these populations, including the LeptinR+ and Nestin+ subsets. In contrast, a subset expressing Ecto-5'-nucleotidase (CD73) was retained and a specific CD73+NGFRhigh population expresses high levels of cytokines during homeostasis and stress. Genetic ablation of CD73 compromised HSPC transplantation in an acute setting without long-term changes in bone marrow HSPCs. Thus, this protein-based expression mapping reveals distinct sets of stromal cells in the bone marrow and how they change in clinically relevant stress settings to contribute to early stages of hematopoietic regeneration.
