Bmi1 Suppresses Adipogenesis in the Hematopoietic Stem Cell Niche.

ABSTRACT: Bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) that express high levels of stem cell factor (SCF) and CXC chemokine ligand 12 (CXCL12) are one crucial component of the hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) niche. While the secreted factors produced by BMSCs to support HSCs have been well described, little is known regarding the transcriptional regulators controlling the cell fate of BMSCs and thus indirectly maintaining HSCs. BMI1 is a polycomb group protein that regulates HSCs both cell intrinsically and extrinsically, but it is unknown in which cell type and how BMI1 functions to maintain HSCs extrinsically. Here we show that Bmi1 maintains HSCs by preventing adipogenic differentiation of BMSCs. Bmi1 is highly expressed in BMSCs but becomes downregulated upon adipogenic differentiation and during aging. Deleting Bmi1 from BMSCs increased marrow adipocytes, induced HSC quiescence and depletion, and impaired hematopoiesis. We found that BMI1 repressed multiple developmental programs in BMSCs by safeguarding the repressive epigenetic marks histone H2A ubiquitylation and H3 lysine 27 trimethylation. We identified a novel adipogenic program governed by Pax3, which BMI1 repressed in BMSCs. Our results establish Bmi1 as a critical regulator of BMSC cell fate that suppresses marrow adipogenesis to create a supportive niche for HSCs.

Bmi1 suppresses adipogenesis in the hematopoietic stem cell niche: ChIP-Seq

Project description:Bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) that express high levels of stem cell factor (SCF) and CXC chemokine ligand 12 (CXCL12) are one crucial component of the hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) niche. While the secreted factors produced by MSCs to support HSCs have been well described, little is known regarding the transcriptional regulators controlling the cell fate of MSCs and thus indirectly maintaining HSCs. Bmi1 is a polycomb group protein that regulates HSCs both cell intrinsically and extrinsically, but it is unknown in which cell type and how Bmi1 functions to maintain HSCs extrinsically. Here we show that Bmi1 maintains HSCs by preventing adipogenic differentiation of MSCs. Bmi1 is highly expressed in MSCs but becomes downregulated upon adipogenic differentiation and during aging. Deleting Bmi1 from MSCs increased marrow adipocytes, induced HSC quiescence and depletion, and impaired hematopoiesis. We found that Bmi1 repressed multiple developmental programs in MSCs by safeguarding the repressive epigenetic marks histone H2A ubiquitylation and H3 lysine 27 trimethylation.

Bmi1 suppresses protein synthesis and promotes proteostasis in hematopoietic stem cells.

Project description:The polycomb complex component Bmi1 promotes the maintenance of stem cells in multiple postnatal tissues, partly by negatively regulating the expression of p16Ink4a and p19Arf, tumor suppressors associated with cellular senescence. However, deficiency for p16Ink4a and p19Arf only partially rescues the function of Bmi1-deficient stem cells. We conditionally deleted Bmi1 from adult hematopoietic cells and found that this slowly depleted hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). Rather than inducing senescence, Bmi1 deficiency increased HSC division. The increased cell division was caused partly by increased Aristaless-related homeobox (ARX) transcription factor expression, which also increased ribosomal RNA expression. However, ARX deficiency did not rescue HSC depletion. Bmi1 deficiency also increased protein synthesis, protein aggregation, and protein ubiquitylation independent of its effects on cell division and p16Ink4a, p19Arf, and ARX expression. Bmi1 thus promotes HSC quiescence by negatively regulating ARX expression and promotes proteostasis by suppressing protein synthesis. This highlights a new connection between the regulation of stem cell maintenance and proteostasis.

Osteolineage niche cells initiate hematopoietic stem cell mobilization.

Project description:Recent studies have implicated bone-lining osteoblasts as important regulators of hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) self-renewal and differentiation; however, because much of the evidence supporting this notion derives from indirect in vivo experiments, which are unavoidably complicated by the presence of other cell types within the complex bone marrow milieu, the sufficiency of osteoblasts in modulating HSC activity has remained controversial. To address this, we prospectively isolated mouse osteoblasts, using a novel flow cytometry-based approach, and directly tested their activity as HSC niche cells and their role in cyclophosphamide/granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF)-induced HSC proliferation and mobilization. We found that osteoblasts expand rapidly after cyclophosphamide/G-CSF treatment and exhibit phenotypic and functional changes that directly influence HSC proliferation and maintenance of reconstituting potential. Effects of mobilization on osteoblast number and function depend on the function of ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM), the product of the Atm gene, demonstrating a new role for ATM in stem cell niche activity. These studies demonstrate that signals from osteoblasts can directly initiate and modulate HSC proliferation in the context of mobilization. This work also establishes that direct interaction with osteolineage niche cells, in the absence of additional environmental inputs, is sufficient to modulate stem cell activity.

BMP4 regulates the hematopoietic stem cell niche.

Project description:Bone morphogenetic protein 4 (BMP4) is required for mesoderm commitment to the hematopoietic lineage during early embryogenesis. However, deletion of BMP4 is early embryonically lethal and its functional role in definitive hematopoiesis is unknown. Consequently, we used a BMP4 hypomorph to investigate the role of BMP4 in regulating hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) function and maintaining steady-state hematopoiesis in the adult. Reporter gene expression shows that Bmp4 is expressed in cells associated with the hematopoietic microenvironment including osteoblasts, endothelial cells, and megakaryocytes. Although resting hematopoiesis is normal in a BMP4-deficient background, the number of c-Kit+, Sca-1+, Lineage- cells is significantly reduced. Serial transplantation studies reveal that BMP4-deficient recipients have a microenvironmental defect that reduces the repopulating activity of wild-type HSCs. This defect is even more pronounced in a parabiosis model that demonstrates a profound reduction in wild-type hematopoietic cells within the bone marrow of BMP4-deficient recipients. Furthermore, wild-type HSCs that successfully engraft into the BMP4-deficient bone marrow show a marked decrease in functional stem cell activity when tested in a competitive repopulation assay. Taken together, these findings indicate BMP4 is a critical component of the hematopoietic microenvironment that regulates both HSC number and function.

A molecular profile of a hematopoietic stem cell niche.

Project description:The hematopoietic microenvironment provides a complex molecular milieu that regulates the self-renewal and differentiation activities of stem cells. We have characterized a stem cell supportive stromal cell line, AFT024, that was derived from murine fetal liver. Highly purified in vivo transplantable mouse stem cells are maintained in AFT024 cultures at input levels, whereas other primitive progenitors are expanded. In addition, human stem cells are very effectively supported by AFT024. We suggest that the AFT024 cell line represents a component of an in vivo stem cell niche. To determine the molecular signals elaborated in this niche, we undertook a functional genomics approach that combines extensive sequence mining of a subtracted cDNA library, high-density array hybridization and in-depth bioinformatic analyses. The data have been assembled into a biological process oriented database, and represent a molecular profile of a candidate stem cell niche.
