A20 deficiency in multipotent progenitors perturbs quiescence of hematopoietic stem cells.

ABSTRACT: Inflammatory signals have been shown to play a critical role in controlling the maintenance and functions of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). While the significance of inflammation in hematopoiesis has begun to unfold, molecular mechanisms and players that govern this mode of HSC regulation remain largely unknown. The E3 ubiquitin ligase A20 has been considered as a central gatekeeper of inflammation. Here, we have specifically depleted A20 in multi-potent progenitors (MPPs) and studied its impact on hematopoiesis. Our data suggest that lack of A20 in Flt3⁺ progenitors causes modest alterations in hematopoietic differentiation. Analysis of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell (HSPC) pool revealed alterations in HSPC subsets including, HSCs, MPP1, MPP2, MPP3 and MPP4. Interestingly, A20 deficiency in MPPs caused loss of HSC quiescence and compromised long-term hematopoietic reconstitution. Mechanistic studies identified that A20 deficiency caused elevated levels of Interferon-γ signaling and downregulation of p57 in HSCs. In essence, these studies identified A20 as a key regulator of HSC quiescence and cell fate decisions.

Project description:Regenerative tissues such as the skin epidermis, the intestinal mucosa or the hematopoietic system are organized in a hierarchical manner with stem cells building the top of this hierarchy. Somatic stem cells harbor the highest self-renewal activity and generate a series of multipotent progenitors which differentiate into lineage committed progenitors and subsequently mature cells. In this report, we applied an in-depth quantitative proteomic approach to analyze and compare the full proteomes of ex vivo isolated and FACS-sorted populations highly enriched for either multipotent hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs, Lin(neg)Sca-1(+)c-Kit(+)) or myeloid committed precursors (Lin(neg)Sca-1(-)c-Kit(+)). By employing stable isotope dimethyl labeling and high-resolution mass spectrometry, more than 5000 proteins were quantified. From biological triplicate experiments subjected to rigorous statistical evaluation, 893 proteins were found differentially expressed between multipotent and myeloid committed cells. The differential protein content in these cell populations points to a distinct structural organization of the cytoskeleton including remodeling activity. In addition, we found a marked difference in the expression of metabolic enzymes, including a clear shift of specific protein isoforms of the glycolytic pathway. Proteins involved in translation showed a collective higher expression in myeloid progenitors, indicating an increased translational activity. Strikingly, the data uncover a unique signature related to immune defense mechanisms, centering on the RIG-I and type-1 interferon response systems, which are installed in multipotent progenitors but not evident in myeloid committed cells. This suggests that specific, and so far unrecognized, mechanisms protect these immature cells before they mature. In conclusion, this study indicates that the transition of hematopoietic stem/progenitors toward myeloid commitment is accompanied by a profound change in processing of cellular resources, adding novel insights into the molecular mechanisms at the interface between multipotency and lineage commitment.
