CD1d expression on and regulation of murine hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells.

ABSTRACT: In the present study, surface CD1d, which is involved in immune cell interactions, was assessed for effects on hematopoiesis. Mouse BM hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs) express CD1d. The numbers and cycling status of HPCs in the BM and spleen of different strains of cd1d(-/-) mice were enhanced significantly, suggesting that CD1d is a negative regulator of HPCs. In support of this, CD1d was required for the SCF and Flt3 ligand synergistic enhancement of CSF induction of HPC colony formation and for HPC response to myelosuppressive chemokines. Colony formation by immature subsets of HPCs was greatly enhanced when normal, but not cd1d(-/-), BM cells were pretreated with CD1d Abs in vitro. These effects required the full CD1d cytoplasmic tail. In contrast, long-term, but not short-term, repopulating HSC engraftment was impaired significantly, an effect that was minimally influenced by the presence of a truncated CD1d cytoplasmic tail. Pretreatment of normal BM cells with CD1d Abs greatly enhanced their engraftment of HSCs. The results of the present study implicate CD1d in a previously unrecognized regulatory role of normal and stressed hematopoiesis.

BCL2A1a over-expression in murine hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells decreases apoptosis and results in hematopoietic transformation.

Project description:We previously reported the development of a lethal myeloid sarcoma in a non-human primate model utilizing retroviral vectors to genetically modify hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells. This leukemia was characterized by insertion of the vector provirus into the BCL2A1 gene, with resultant BCL2A1 over-expression. There is little information on the role of this anti-apoptotic member of the BCL2 family in hematopoiesis or leukemia induction. Therefore we studied the impact of Bcl2a1a lentiviral over-expression on murine hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells. We demonstrated the anti-apoptotic function of this protein in hematopoietic cells, but did not detect any impact of Bcl2a1a on in vitro cell growth or cell cycle kinetics. In vivo, we showed a higher propensity of HSCs over-expressing Bcl2a1a to engraft and contribute to hematopoiesis. Mice over-expressing Bcl2a1a in the hematologic compartment eventually developed an aggressive malignant disease characterized as a leukemia/lymphoma of B-cell origin. Secondary transplants carried out to investigate the primitive origin of the disease revealed the leukemia was transplantable. Thus, Bcl2a1 should be considered as a proto-oncogene with a potential role in both lymphoid and myeloid leukemogenesis, and a concerning site for insertional activation by integrating retroviral vectors utilized in hematopoietic stem cell gene therapy.

Residual effects of busulfan and irradiation on murine hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells.

Project description:Exposure of young C57BL/6 (B6) mice to two courses of busulfan (BSF) injections or two rounds of sublethal total-body irradiation (TBI) induced significant damage to the function of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs). Fifteen weeks after treatment, BSF- and TBI-treated mice had reduced white blood cells without significant change in red blood cells or platelets, indicating that BSF and TBI hematotoxicity was chronic, with leukocytes being the major targets. Hematopoietic damage induced by BSF or TBI persisted long term. Residual adverse effects were reflected by significantly decreased CD45R B cells and reduced recovery of total bone marrow cells, especially HSPCs carrying markers for KSL (Kit+Sca-1+Lin-) cells, multipotent progenitor (MPP) cells (KSLCD34+CD135+), myeloid progenitor (MP) cells (Kit+Sca-1-Lin-), and common lymphoid progenitor (CLP) cells 62 wk posttreatment. Transplantation of bone marrow (BM) cells from BSF and TBI donors at 49 weeks after treatment into lethally irradiated hosts resulted in decreased engraftment of CD45R B cells in blood and reduced reconstitution of BM HSPCs including KSL cells, short-term hematopoietic stem cells (KSLCD34+CD135-), MPP cells, and MP cell subsets. TBI donor had better reconstitution of CLP cells in recipients posttransplantation than did BSF donor, suggesting an impact of TBI and BSF on B cells at different development stages. In summary, BSF and TBI exposure produced long-lasting adverse effects on hematopoiesis with pronounced effects on mature B cells, immature ST-HSCs, and hematopoietic progenitor cells. Our results may have implications for therapy of human diseases.

Myeloid skewing in murine autoimmune arthritis occurs in hematopoietic stem and primitive progenitor cells.

Project description:Skewing toward myeloid cell production is often observed in chronic inflammation and autoimmune diseases. Herein, we determined whether persistent myeloid activation and proinflammatory output occurring in pathologic conditions is at the level of hematopoietic stem and primitive progenitor cells (HSPPCs). By using a mouse arthritis model, we found that even though HSPPCs in arthritis still retained the capacity to differentiate into different lineages, they acquired enhanced in vitro and in vivo propensity in a disease-dependent manner to generate myeloid cells, the key perpetrators of tissue damage in arthritis. This myeloid skewing was cell intrinsic, as arthritic HSPPCs up-regulate myeloid-specific transcripts including S100a8. Exogenous S100a8 promoted myeloid cell output from wild-type HSPPCs, suggesting mechanistic involvement of this gene in the myeloid priming that occurs in arthritic HSPPCs. Therefore, our results indicate that in arthritic mice, HSPPCs adopt a pathologic state that favors disease persistence.

SCA-1 Expression Level Identifies Quiescent Hematopoietic Stem and Progenitor Cells.

Project description:Blood cell generation depends on continuous cellular output by the sequential hierarchy of hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) and progenitor populations that all contain quiescent and actively cycling cells. Hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) express the surface molecule Stem cell antigen 1 (SCA-1/LY6A). Using histone 2B-red fluorescent fusion protein label retention and cell-cycle reporter mice, we demonstrate that high SCA-1 expression (SCA-1hi) identifies not only quiescent HSCs but quiescent cells on all hierarchical levels within the lineage-SCA-1+KIT+ (LSK) population. Each transplanted SCA-1hi HSPC population also displayed self-renewal potential superior to that of the respective SCA-1lo population. SCA-1 expression is inducible by type I interferon (IFN). We show, however, that quiescence and high self-renewal capacity of cells with brighter SCA-1 expression at steady state were independent of type I IFN signaling. We conclude that SCA-1 expression levels can be used to prospectively isolate functionally heterogeneous HSPC subpopulations.

Regulation of high-density lipoprotein on hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells in atherosclerosis requires scavenger receptor type BI expression.

Project description:OBJECTIVE:Recently, we demonstrated that scavenger receptor type BI (SR-BI), a high-density lipoprotein (HDL) receptor, was expressed on murine hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPC) and infusion of reconstituted HDL and purified human apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) suppressed HSPC proliferation. We hypothesized that SR-B1 expression is required for the observed antiproliferative effects of HDL on HSPC. APPROACH AND RESULTS:SR-BI-deficient (SR-BI(-/-)) mice and wild-type controls were fed on chow or high-fat diet (HFD) for 8 to 10 weeks. Under chow diet, a significant increase in Lin(-) Sca1(+) cKit(+) cells (LSK cells, so-called HSPC) was found in the bone marrow of SR-BI(-/-) mice when compared with wild-type mice. HFD induced a further expansion of CD150(+)CD48(-) LSK cells (HSC), HSPC, and granulocyte monocyte progenitors in SR-BI(-/-) mice. Injection of reactive oxygen species inhibitor N-acetylcysteine attenuated HFD-induced HSPC expansion, leukocytosis, and atherosclerosis in SR-BI(-/-) mice. ApoA-I infusion inhibited HSPC cell proliferation, Akt phosphorylation and reactive oxygen species production in HSPC and plaque progression in low-density lipoprotein receptor knockout (LDLr(-/-)) apoA-I(-/-) mice on HFD but had no effect on SR-BI(-/-) mice on HFD. Transplantation of SR-BI(-/-) bone marrow cells into irradiated LDLr(-/-) recipients resulted in enhanced white blood cells reconstitution, inflammatory cell production, and plaque development. In patients with coronary heart disease, HDL levels were negatively correlated with white blood cells count and HSPC frequency in the peripheral blood. By flow cytometry, SR-BI expression was detected on human HSPC. CONCLUSIONS:SR-BI plays a critical role in the HDL-mediated regulation HSPC proliferation and differentiation, which is associated with atherosclerosis progression.

High Canonical Wnt/?-Catenin Activity Sensitizes Murine Hematopoietic Stem and Progenitor Cells to DNA Damage.

Project description:Aging is characterized by the accumulation of DNA damage and a decrease in stem cell functionality, yet molecular mechanisms that limit the maintenance of stem cells in response to DNA damage remain to be delineated. Here we show in mouse models that DNA damage leads to a transient over-activation of Wnt signaling in hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), and that high activity of canonical Wnt/?-catenin signaling sensitizes HSCs to DNA damage induced by X-irradiation which results in preferential maintenance of HSCs with low levels of Wnt signaling. The study shows that genetic or chemical activation of canonical Wnt signaling enhances radiosensitivity of HSCs while inhibition of Wnt signaling decreases it. Together, these results indicate that levels of Wnt signaling activity mediate heterogeneity in the sensitivity of HSCs to DNA damage induced depletion. These findings could be relevant for molecular alterations and selection of stem cells in the context of DNA damage accumulation during aging and cancer formation.

Proteinase 3 Limits the Number of Hematopoietic Stem and Progenitor Cells in Murine Bone Marrow.

Project description:Hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) undergo self-renewal and differentiation to guarantee a constant supply of short-lived blood cells. Both intrinsic and extrinsic factors determine HSPC fate, but the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Here, we report that Proteinase 3 (PR3), a serine protease mainly confined to granulocytes, is also expressed in HSPCs. PR3 deficiency intrinsically suppressed cleavage and activation of caspase-3, leading to expansion of the bone marrow (BM) HSPC population due to decreased apoptosis. PR3-deficient HSPCs outcompete the long-term reconstitution potential of wild-type counterparts. Collectively, our results establish PR3 as a physiological regulator of HSPC numbers. PR3 inhibition is a potential therapeutic target to accelerate and increase the efficiency of BM reconstitution during transplantation.

The Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor Modulates Murine Hematopoietic Stem Cell Homeostasis and Influences Lineage-Biased Stem and Progenitor Cells.

Project description:The core function of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) is to provide lifelong production of all lineages of the blood and immune cells. The mechanisms that modulate HSPC homeostasis and lineage biasing are not fully understood. Growing evidence implicates the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR), an environment-sensing transcription factor, as a regulator of hematopoiesis. AHR ligands modulate the frequency of mature hematopoietic cells in the bone marrow and periphery, while HSPCs from mice lacking AHR (AHR KO) have increased proliferation. Yet, whether AHR modulates HSPC lineage potential and directs differentiation toward specific lineage-biased progenitors is not well understood. This study revealed that AHR KO mice have an increased proportion of myeloid-biased HSCs and myeloid-biased multipotent progenitor (MPP3) cells. Utilizing inducible AHR knockout mice (iAHR KO), it was discovered that acute deletion of AHR doubled the number of MPP3 cells and altered the composition of downstream lineage-committed progenitors, such as increased frequency of pregranulocyte/premonocyte committed progenitors. Furthermore, in vivo antagonism of the AHR led to a 2.5-fold increase in the number of MPP3 cells and promoted myeloid-biased differentiation. Using hematopoietic-specific conditional AHR knockout mice (AHRVav1) revealed that increased frequency of myeloid-biased HSCs and myeloid-biased progenitors is driven by AHR signaling that is intrinsic to the hematopoietic compartment. These findings demonstrate that the AHR plays a pivotal role in regulating steady-state hematopoiesis, influencing HSPC homeostasis and lineage potential. In addition, the data presented provide potential insight into how deliberate modulation of AHR signaling could help with the treatment of a broad range of diseases that require the hematopoietic compartment.

Direct reprogramming of murine fibroblasts to hematopoietic progenitor cells.

Project description:Recent reports have shown that somatic cells, under appropriate culture conditions, could be directly reprogrammed to cardiac, hepatic, or neuronal phenotype by lineage-specific transcription factors. In this study, we demonstrate that both embryonic and adult somatic fibroblasts can be efficiently reprogrammed to clonal multilineage hematopoietic progenitors by the ectopic expression of the transcription factors ERG, GATA2, LMO2, RUNX1c, and SCL. These reprogrammed cells were stably expanded on stromal cells and possessed short-term reconstitution ability in vivo. Loss of p53 function facilitated reprogramming to blood, and p53(-/-) reprogrammed cells efficiently generated erythroid, megakaryocytic, myeloid, and lymphoid lineages. Genome-wide analyses revealed that generation of hematopoietic progenitors was preceded by the appearance of hemogenic endothelial cells expressing endothelial and hematopoietic genes. Altogether, our findings suggest that direct reprogramming could represent a valid alternative approach to the differentiation of embryonic stem cells (ESCs) or induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) for disease modeling and autologous blood cell therapies.

Differential CXCR4 expression on hematopoietic progenitor cells versus stem cells directs homing and engraftment.

Project description:Gene therapy involves a substantial loss of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPC) during processing and homing. Intra-BM (i.b.m.) transplantation can reduce homing losses, but prior studies have not yielded promising results. We studied the mechanisms involved in homing and engraftment of i.b.m. transplanted and i.v. transplanted genetically modified (GM) human HSPC. We found that i.b.m. HSPC transplantation improved engraftment of hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPC) but not of long-term repopulating hematopoietic stem cells (HSC). Mechanistically, HPC expressed higher functional levels of CXCR4 than HSC, conferring them a retention and homing advantage when transplanted i.b.m. Removing HPC and transplanting an HSC-enriched population i.b.m. significantly increased long-term engraftment over i.v. transplantation. Transient upregulation of CXCR4 on GM HSC-enriched cells, using a noncytotoxic portion of viral protein R (VPR) fused to CXCR4 delivered as a protein in lentiviral particles, resulted in higher homing and long-term engraftment of GM HSC transplanted either i.v. or i.b.m. compared with standard i.v. transplants. Overall, we show a mechanism for why i.b.m. transplants do not significantly improve long-term engraftment over i.v. transplants. I.b.m. transplantation becomes relevant when an HSC-enriched population is delivered. Alternatively, CXCR4 expression on HSC, when transiently increased using a protein delivery method, improves homing and engraftment specifically of GM HSC.
