Nfix expression critically modulates early B lymphopoiesis and myelopoiesis.

ABSTRACT: The commitment of stem and progenitor cells toward specific hematopoietic lineages is tightly controlled by a number of transcription factors that regulate differentiation programs via the expression of lineage restricting genes. Nuclear factor one (NFI) transcription factors are important in regulating hematopoiesis and here we report an important physiological role of NFIX in B- and myeloid lineage commitment and differentiation. We demonstrate that NFIX acts as a regulator of lineage specification in the haematopoietic system and the expression of Nfix was transcriptionally downregulated as B cells commit and differentiate, whilst maintained in myeloid progenitor cells. Ectopic Nfix expression in vivo blocked early B cell development stage, coincident with the stage of its downregulation. Furthermore, loss of Nfix resulted in the perturbation of myeloid and lymphoid cell differentiation, and a skewing of gene expression involved in lineage fate determination. Nfix was able to promote myeloid differentiation of total bone marrow cells under B cell specific culture conditions but not when expressed in the hematopoietic stem cell (HSPC), consistent with its role in HSPC survival. The lineage choice determined by Nfix correlated with transcriptional changes in a number of genes, such as E2A, C/EBP, and Id genes. These data highlight a novel and critical role for NFIX transcription factor in hematopoiesis and in lineage specification.

A role for leptin in sustaining lymphopoiesis and myelopoiesis.

Project description:Although leptin is known for its regulation of food intake, it has many emerging roles in immune function. To better define the role of leptin in hematopoietic processes, a leptin-deficient obese mouse (ob/ob) and C57BL/6 lean wild-type controls were compared. Despite their large size and consumption of substantial amounts of nutrients, the ob/ob mice had only 60% as many nucleated cells in their marrow as controls. The greatest impact of leptin deficiency was on the B cell compartment that had 70% fewer cells, reducing the absolute number of pre-B and immature B cells to 21% and 12% of normal, respectively, and indicating a significant reduction in lymphopoiesis in ob/ob mice. Whereas the proportion of myeloids remained nearly normal in the obese mice, they also exhibited a reduction of 40% and 25%, respectively, in absolute numbers of granulocytes and monocytes. Seven days of provision of recombinant leptin promoted substantial lymphopoiesis, increasing the numbers of B cells in the marrow of the obese mice twofold, while doubling and tripling, respectively, the numbers of pre-B and immature B cells. Twelve days of supplementation brought these subpopulations to near-normal proportions. Leptin treatment also facilitated myelopoiesis such that the marrow of the obese mice contained normal numbers of monocytes and granulocytes after 7 days. Taken together, the data support an important role for leptin in sustaining lymphopoiesis and myelopoiesis.

Genomic expression during human myelopoiesis.

Project description:BackgroundHuman myelopoiesis is an exciting biological model for cellular differentiation since it represents a plastic process where multipotent stem cells gradually limit their differentiation potential, generating different precursor cells which finally evolve into distinct terminally differentiated cells. This study aimed at investigating the genomic expression during myeloid differentiation through a computational approach that integrates gene expression profiles with functional information and genome organization.ResultsGene expression data from 24 experiments for 8 different cell types of the human myelopoietic lineage were used to generate an integrated myelopoiesis dataset of 9,425 genes, each reliably associated to a unique genomic position and chromosomal coordinate. Lists of genes constitutively expressed or silent during myelopoiesis and of genes differentially expressed in commitment phase of myelopoiesis were first identified using a classical data analysis procedure. Then, the genomic distribution of myelopoiesis genes was investigated integrating transcriptional and functional characteristics of genes. This approach allowed identifying specific chromosomal regions significantly highly or weakly expressed, and clusters of differentially expressed genes and of transcripts related to specific functional modules.ConclusionThe analysis of genomic expression during human myelopoiesis using an integrative computational approach allowed discovering important relationships between genomic position, biological function and expression patterns and highlighting chromatin domains, including genes with coordinated expression and lineage-specific functions.

Global miRNA expression status of human hematopoietic stem–progenitor cells modulates myelopoiesis

Project description:We investigated how suppression of the most upstream microRNA–processing RNase, Drosha, affects the differentiation of human CD34+ hematopoietic stem–progenitor cells (HSPCs). We hypothesized that knock-down of Drosha would alter blood lineage development by modulating the expression of microRNAs. Lentiviral delivery to HSPCs of a short-hairpin targeting Drosha resulted in a viable phenotype with promotion of myeloid, and especially monocytic, maturation and suppression of apoptosis. Our results show that Drosha deficiency triggered a parallel upregulation of components of the RNAi machinery, including DGCR8, Dicer and Ago2. Deep sequencing analyses revealed global miRNA deficiency after Drosha short-hairpin treatment with relative maintenance of mature miR-223 expression. Restoration of miR-223 to normal levels after Drosha knock-down further enhanced monocytic maturation concomitant with the modulation of myeloid transcription factors that promoted monocytic differentiation. Our results support a miRNA accentuation model in which relative enhancement of miR-223 increases levels of PU.1 thereby promoting monocytic differentiation. CD34+ HSPCs were isolated from umbilical cord blood and transduced with an empty lentivector (EV) or a lentivector encoding a short-hairpin RNA targeting the pri-miRNA–processing enzyme, Drosha (shDrosha). EV and shDrosha transduced HSPCs were grown in liquid culture promoting myelopoiesis and sampled on days 0 and 7 for total RNA collection. Total RNA was size fractionated to enrich for the small RNA population and deep sequenced using ABI's SOLiD 4.0 platform.

IKK?-mediated signaling circuitry regulates early B lymphopoiesis during hematopoiesis.

Project description:Multiple transcription factors regulate B-cell commitment, which is coordinated with myeloid-erythroid lineage differentiation. NF-?B has long been speculated to regulate early B-cell development; however, this issue remains controversial. I?B kinase-? (IKK?) is required for splenic B-cell maturation but not for BM B-cell development. In the present study, we unexpectedly found defective BM B-cell development and increased myeloid-erythroid lineages in kinase-dead IKK? (KA/KA) knock-in mice. Markedly increased cytosolic p100, an NF-?B2-inhibitory form, and reduced nuclear NF-?B p65, RelB, p50, and p52, and IKK? were observed in KA/KA splenic and BM B cells. Several B- and myeloid-erythroid-cell regulators, including Pax5, were deregulated in KA/KA BM B cells. Using fetal liver and BM congenic transplantations and deleting IKK? from early hematopoietic cells in mice, this defect was identified as being B cell-intrinsic and an early event during hematopoiesis. Reintroducing IKK?, Pax5, or combined NF-?B molecules promoted B-cell development but repressed myeloid-erythroid cell differentiation in KA/KA BM B cells. The results of the present study demonstrate that IKK? regulates B-lineage commitment via combined canonical and noncanonical NF-?B transcriptional activities to target Pax5 expression during hematopoiesis.

Regulation of microRNA expression and abundance during lymphopoiesis.

Project description:Although the cellular concentration of miRNAs is critical to their function, how miRNA expression and abundance are regulated during ontogeny is unclear. We applied miRNA-, mRNA-, and ChIP-Seq to characterize the microRNome during lymphopoiesis within the context of the transcriptome and epigenome. We show that lymphocyte-specific miRNAs are either tightly controlled by polycomb group-mediated H3K27me3 or maintained in a semi-activated epigenetic state prior to full expression. Because of miRNA biogenesis, the cellular concentration of mature miRNAs does not typically reflect transcriptional changes. However, we uncover a subset of miRNAs for which abundance is dictated by miRNA gene expression. We confirm that concentration of 5p and 3p miRNA strands depends largely on free energy properties of miRNA duplexes. Unexpectedly, we also find that miRNA strand accumulation can be developmentally regulated. Our data provide a comprehensive map of immunity's microRNome and reveal the underlying epigenetic and transcriptional forces that shape miRNA homeostasis.

Adipocyte-derived soluble factor(s) inhibits early stages of B lymphopoiesis.

Project description:B lymphopoiesis declines with age, and in rabbits this occurs by 8 wk of age. We found that CFU fibroblasts (CFU-Fs) in the bone marrow (BM) decrease 10-fold by a few weeks of age and that the CFU-Fs preferentially differentiate into adipocytes instead of osteoblasts. BM becomes filled with fat spaces during this time, making rabbit a unique model to study the effects of accelerated fat accumulation on B lymphopoiesis. We show that adipocytes of both rabbit and human secrete a soluble factor(s) that inhibits B lymphopoiesis, and we tested if this inhibition was due to effects on the BM stroma or hematopoietic progenitors. Pretreatment of BM mononuclear cells with adipocyte conditioned medium dramatically inhibited their differentiation into proB cells in cocultures with OP9 stromal cells. In contrast, pretreatment of OP9 stromal cells with adipocyte conditioned medium had no effect on B lymphopoiesis. Using human hematopoietic stem cells, we show that inhibition by the adipocyte-derived factor occurred at the common lymphoid progenitor to preproB cell stage. We propose that the age-related decline in B lymphopoiesis is due to a decrease in CFU-Fs, an increase in adipocytes, and an adipocyte-derived factor that blocks B lymphopoiesis at the common lymphoid progenitor to preproB cell stage.

Nfix Regulates Temporal Progression of Muscle Regeneration through Modulation of Myostatin Expression.

Project description:Nfix belongs to a family of four highly conserved proteins that act as transcriptional activators and/or repressors of cellular and viral genes. We previously showed a pivotal role for Nfix in regulating the transcriptional switch from embryonic to fetal myogenesis. Here, we show that Nfix directly represses the Myostatin promoter, thus controlling the proper timing of satellite cell differentiation and muscle regeneration. Nfix-null mice display delayed regeneration after injury, and this deficit is reversed upon in vivo Myostatin silencing. Conditional deletion of Nfix in satellite cells results in a similar delay in regeneration, confirming the functional requirement for Nfix in satellite cells. Moreover, mice lacking Nfix show reduced myofiber cross sectional area and a predominant slow twitching phenotype. These data define a role for Nfix in postnatal skeletal muscle and unveil a mechanism for Myostatin regulation, thus providing insights into the modulation of its complex signaling pathway.

Alterations in gene expression in the spinal cord of mice lacking Nfix.

Project description:ObjectiveNuclear Factor One X (NFIX) is a transcription factor expressed by neural stem cells within the developing mouse brain and spinal cord. In order to characterise the pathways by which NFIX may regulate neural stem cell biology within the developing mouse spinal cord, we performed an microarray-based transcriptomic analysis of the spinal cord of embryonic day (E)14.5 Nfix-/- mice in comparison to wild-type controls.Data descriptionUsing microarray and differential gene expression analyses, we were able to identify differentially expressed genes in the spinal cords of E14.5 Nfix-/- mice compared to wild-type controls. We performed microarray-based sequencing on spinal cords from n = 3 E14.5 Nfix-/- mice and n = 3 E14.5 Nfix+/+ mice. Differential gene expression analysis, using a false discovery rate (FDR) p-value of p < 0.05, and a fold change cut-off for differential expression of > ± 1.5, revealed 1351 differentially regulated genes in the spinal cord of Nfix-/- mice. Of these, 828 were upregulated, and 523 were downregulated. This resource provides a tool to interrogate the role of this transcription factor in spinal cord development.
