Apolipoprotein A1 deficiency in mice primes bone marrow stem cells for T cell lymphopoiesis.

ABSTRACT: The bone marrow has emerged as a potentially important target in cardiovascular disease as it generates all leukocytes involved in atherogenesis. In the current study, we evaluated whether a change in bone marrow functionality underlies the increased atherosclerosis susceptibility associated with high-density lipoprotein (HDL) deficiency. We found that HDL deficiency in mice due to the genetic lack of hepatocyte-derived apolipoprotein A1 (APOA1) was associated with an increase in the Lin-Sca-1+Kit+ (LSK) bone marrow stem cell population and lymphoid-primed multipotent progenitor numbers, which translated into a higher production and systemic flux of T cell subsets. In accordance with APOA1 deficiency-associated priming of stem cells to increase T lymphocyte production, atherogenic diet-fed low-density lipoprotein receptor knockout mice transplanted with bone marrow from APOA1-knockout mice displayed marked lymphocytosis as compared to wild-type bone marrow recipients. However, atherosclerotic lesion sizes and collagen contents were similar in the two groups of bone marrow recipients. In conclusion, systemic lack of APOA1 primes bone marrow stem cells for T cell lymphopoiesis. Our data provide novel evidence for a regulatory role of HDL in bone marrow functioning in normolipidemic mice.

Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor reprograms bone marrow stromal cells to actively suppress B lymphopoiesis in mice.

Project description:The mechanisms that mediate the shift from lymphopoiesis to myelopoiesis in response to infectious stress are largely unknown. We show that treatment with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), which is often induced during infection, results in marked suppression of B lymphopoiesis at multiple stages of B-cell development. Mesenchymal-lineage stromal cells in the bone marrow, including CXCL12-abundant reticular (CAR) cells and osteoblasts, constitutively support B lymphopoiesis through the production of multiple B trophic factors. G-CSF acting through a monocytic cell intermediate reprograms these stromal cells, altering their capacity to support B lymphopoiesis. G-CSF treatment is associated with an expansion of CAR cells and a shift toward osteogenic lineage commitment. It markedly suppresses the production of multiple B-cell trophic factors by CAR cells and osteoblasts, including CXCL12, kit ligand, interleukin-6, interleukin-7, and insulin-like growth factor-1. Targeting bone marrow stromal cells is one mechanism by which inflammatory cytokines such as G-CSF actively suppress lymphopoiesis.

Distinct changes in adult lymphopoiesis in Rag2-/- mice fully reconstituted by alpha4-deficient adult bone marrow cells.

Project description:alpha4 Integrins are major players in lymphoid cell trafficking and immune responses. However, their importance in lymphoid reconstitution and function, studied by antibody blockade or in genetic models of chimeric animals with alpha4(KO) embryonic stem (ES) cells, competitive repopulation experiments with fetal liver(KO) cells, or in beta1/beta7 doubly-deficient mice has yielded disparate conclusions.To study the role of alpha4 integrin (alpha4beta1, alpha4beta7) during adult life, we transplanted lethally irradiated Rag2(-/-) mice with alpha4(Delta/Delta) or alpha4(f/f) adult bone marrow (BM) cells and evaluated recipients at several points after transplantation.Lymphomyeloid repopulation (8 months later) was entirely donor-derived in all recipients, and novel insights regarding lymphoid reconstitution and function were revealed. Thymic repopulation was impaired in all alpha4(Delta/Delta) recipients, likely because of homing defects of BM-derived progenitors, although a role of alpha4 integrin in intrathymic expansion/maturation of T cells cannot be excluded; reconstitution of gut lymphoid tissue was also greatly diminished because of homing defects of alpha4(Delta/Delta) cells; impaired immunoglobulin (Ig) M and IgE, but normal IgG responses were seen, suggesting compromised initial B-/T-cell interactions, whereas interferon-gamma production from ovalbumin-stimulated cells was increased, possibly reflecting a bias against Th2 stimulation.These data complement previous observations by defending the role of alpha4 integrin in thymic and gut lymphoid tissue homing, and by strengthening evidence of attenuated B-cell responses in alpha4-deficient mice.

Glucocorticoids Regulate Bone Marrow B Lymphopoiesis After Stroke.

Project description:RationaleAfter a stroke, patients frequently experience altered systemic immunity resulting in peripheral immunosuppression and higher susceptibility to infections, which is at least partly attributed to lymphopenia. The mechanisms that profoundly change the systemic leukocyte repertoire after stroke are incompletely understood. Emerging evidence indicates that stroke alters hematopoietic output of the bone marrow.ObjectiveTo explore the mechanisms that lead to defects of B lymphopoiesis after ischemic stroke.Methods and resultsWe here report that ischemic stroke triggers brain-bone marrow communication via hormonal long-range signals that regulate hematopoietic B lineage decisions. Bone marrow fluorescence-activated cell sorter analyses and serial intravital microscopy indicate that transient middle cerebral artery occlusion in mice arrests B-cell development beginning at the pro-B-cell stage. This phenotype was not rescued in Myd88-/- and TLR4-/- mice with disrupted TLR (Toll-like receptor) signaling or after blockage of peripheral sympathetic nerves. Mechanistically, we identified stroke-induced glucocorticoid release as the main instigator of B lymphopoiesis defects. B-cell lineage-specific deletion of the GR (glucocorticoid receptor) in CD19-Cre loxP Nr3c1 mice attenuated lymphocytopenia after transient middle cerebral artery. In 20 patients with acute stroke, increased cortisol levels inversely correlated with blood lymphocyte numbers.ConclusionsOur data demonstrate that the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis mediates B lymphopoiesis defects after ischemic stroke.

TP53INP1 deficiency maintains murine B lymphopoiesis in aged bone marrow through redox-controlled IL-7R/STAT5 signaling.

Project description:Bone marrow (BM) produces all blood and immune cells deriving from hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). The decrease of immune cell production during aging is one of the features of immunosenescence. The impact of redox dysregulation in BM aging is still poorly understood. Here we use TP53INP1-deficient (KO) mice endowed with chronic oxidative stress to assess the influence of aging-associated redox alterations in BM homeostasis. We show that TP53INP1 deletion has no impact on aging-related accumulation of HSCs. In contrast, the aging-related contraction of the lymphoid compartment is mitigated in TP53INP1 KO mice. B cells that accumulate in old KO BM are differentiating cells that can mature into functional B cells. Importantly, this phenotype results from B cell-intrinsic events associated with defective redox control. Finally, we show that oxidative stress in aged TP53INP1-deficient mice maintains STAT5 expression and activation in early B cells, driving high Pax5 expression, which provides a molecular mechanism for maintenance of B cell development upon aging.

Senolytics improve bone forming potential of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells from aged mice.

Project description:The osteogenic potential of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) declines dramatically with aging. By using a calvarial defect model, we showed that a senolytic cocktail (dasatinib+quercetin; D + Q) improved osteogenic capacity of aged BMSC both in vitro and in vivo. The study presented a model to assess strategies to improve bone-forming potential on aged BMSCs. D + Q might hold promise for improving BMSC function in aged populations.

Foxp3+ regulatory T cells maintain the bone marrow microenvironment for B cell lymphopoiesis.

Project description:Foxp3+ regulatory T cells (Treg cells) modulate the immune system and maintain self-tolerance, but whether they affect haematopoiesis or haematopoietic stem cell (HSC)-mediated reconstitution after transplantation is unclear. Here we show that B-cell lymphopoiesis is impaired in Treg-depleted mice, yet this reduced B-cell lymphopoiesis is rescued by adoptive transfer of affected HSCs or bone marrow cells into Treg-competent recipients. B-cell reconstitution is abrogated in both syngeneic and allogeneic transplantation using Treg-depleted mice as recipients. Treg cells can control physiological IL-7 production that is indispensable for normal B-cell lymphopoiesis and is mainly sustained by a subpopulation of ICAM1+ perivascular stromal cells. Our study demonstrates that Treg cells are important for B-cell differentiation from HSCs by maintaining immunological homoeostasis in the bone marrow microenvironment, both in physiological conditions and after bone marrow transplantation.

Increased differentiation capacity of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells in aquaporin-5 deficiency.

Project description:Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are adult stem cells with a self-renewal and multipotent capability and express extensively in multitudinous tissues. We found that water channel aquaporin-5 (AQP5) is expressed in bone marrow-derived MSCs (BMMSCs) in the plasma membrane pattern. BMMSCs from AQP5(-/-) mice showed significantly lower plasma membrane water permeability than those from AQP5(+/+) mice. In characterizing the cultured BMMSCs from AQP5(-/-) and AQP5(+/+) mice, we found no obvious differences in morphology and proliferation between the 2 genotypes. However, the multiple differentiation capacity was significantly higher in AQP5(-/-) than AQP5(+/+) BMMSCs as revealed by representative staining by Oil Red O (adipogenesis); Alizarin Red S and alkaline phosphatase (ALP; osteogenesis); and type II collagen and Safranin O (chondrogenesis) after directional induction. Relative mRNA expression levels of 3 lineage differentiation markers, including PPAR?2, C/EBP?, adipsin, collagen 1a, osteopontin, ALP, collagen 11a, collagen 2a, and aggrecan, were significantly higher in AQP5(-/-) -differentiating BMMSCs, supporting an increased differentiation capacity of AQP5(-/-) BMMSCs. Furthermore, a bone-healing process was accelerated in AQP5(-/-) mice in a drill-hole injury model. Mechanistic studies indicated a significantly lower apoptosis rate in AQP5(-/-) than AQP5(+/+) BMMSCs. Apoptosis inhibitor Z-VAD-FMK increased the differentiation capacity to a greater extent in AQP5(+/+) than AQP5(-/-) BMMSCs. We conclude that AQP5-mediated high plasma membrane water permeability enhances the apoptosis rate of differentiating BMMSCs, thus decreasing their differentiation capacity. These data implicate AQP5 as a novel determinant of differentiation of BMMSCs and therefore a new molecular target for regulating differentiation of BMMSCs during tissue repair and regeneration.

Inflammatory Changes in Bone Marrow Microenvironment Associated with Declining B Lymphopoiesis.

Project description:B lymphopoiesis arrests precipitously in rabbits such that by 2-4 mo of age, before sexual maturity, little to no B lymphopoiesis occurs in the bone marrow (BM). Previously, we showed that in mice, adipocytes inhibit B lymphopoiesis in vitro by inducing inflammatory myeloid cells, which produce IL-1?. In this study, we characterized rabbit BM after the arrest of B lymphopoiesis and found a dramatic increase in fat, increased CD11b+ myeloid cells, and upregulated expression of the inflammatory molecules, IL-1? and S100A9, by the myeloid cells. We added BM fat, CD11b+ myeloid cells, and recombinant S100A9 to B lymphopoiesis cultures and found that they inhibited B lymphopoiesis and enhanced myelopoiesis. Unlike IL-1?, which inhibits B lymphopoiesis by acting on early lymphoid progenitors, S100A9 inhibits B lymphopoiesis by acting on myeloid cells and promoting the release of inflammatory molecules, including IL-1?. Many molecules produced by adipocytes activate the NLRP3 inflammasome, and the NLRP3 inhibitor, glibenclamide, restored B lymphopoiesis and minimized induction of myeloid cells induced by adipocyte-conditioned medium in vitro. We suggest that fat provides an inflammatory microenvironment in the BM and promotes/activates myeloid cells to produce inflammatory molecules such as IL-1? and S100A9, which negatively regulate B lymphopoiesis.

Deficiency of ROCK1 in bone marrow-derived cells protects against atherosclerosis in LDLR-/- mice.

Project description:Rho kinases (ROCKs) are serine-threonine protein kinases that regulate the actin cytoskeleton. Recent studies suggest that ROCKs also play an important role in cardiovascular disease. However, the isoform- and tissue-specific role of ROCKs in mediating this process is unknown. Using homologous recombination, we generated mutant mice harboring alleles with homozygous deletion of ROCK1 (ROCK1(-/-)). Most ROCK1(-/-) mice die perinatally. However, a few ROCK1(-/-) mice survive to adulthood, are phenotypically normal, and have no apparent compensatory changes in ROCK2. Using these ROCK1(-/-) mice, we show that ROCK1 in bone marrow-derived macrophages is critical to the development of atherosclerosis, in part, by mediating foam cell formation and macrophage chemotaxis. Lipid accumulation and atherosclerotic lesions were reduced in atherosclerosis-prone LDLR(-/-) mice, whose bone marrows have been replaced with bone marrows derived from ROCK1(-/-) mice. Bone marrow-derived ROCK1-deficient macrophages exhibited impaired chemotaxis to monocyte chemotactic protein-1 and showed reduced ability to take up lipids and to develop into foam cells when exposed to modified low-density lipoprotein. These findings indicate that ROCK1 in bone marrow-derived cells is a critical mediator of atherogenesis and suggest that macrophage ROCK1 may be an important therapeutic target for vascular inflammation and atherosclerosis.

Dysfunction of metabolic activity of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells in aged mice.

Project description:ObjectivesEvidences have suggested that the metabolic function is the key regulator to the fate of MSCs, but its function in senescence of MSC and the underlying mechanism is unclear. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the metabolic activity of MSCs and its possible mechanism during aging.Materials and methodsWe used the Seahorse XF24 Analyzer to understand OCR and ECAR in BMSCs and used RT-PCR to analyze the gene expression of mitochondrial biogenesis and key enzymes in glycolysis. We analyzed BMSC mitochondrial activity by MitoTracker Deep Red and JC-1 staining, and detected NAD+/NADH ratio and ATP levels in BMSCs. Microarray and proteomic analyses were performed to detect differentially expressed genes and proteins in BMSCs. The impact of aging on BMSCs through mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC) was evaluated by Rotenone and Coenzyme Q10.ResultsOur results demonstrated that the oxidative phosphorylation and glycolytic activity of BMSCs in aged mice were significantly decreased when compared with young mice. BMSCs in aged mice had lower mitochondrial membrane potential, NAD+/NADH ratio, and ATP production than young mice. FABP4 may play a key role in BMSC senescence caused by fatty acid metabolism disorders.ConclusionsTaken together, our results indicated the dysfunction of the metabolic activity of BMSCs in aged mice, which would play the important role in the impaired biological properties. Therefore, the regulation of metabolic activity may be a potential therapeutic target for enhancing the regenerative functions of BMSCs.
