Differentiation of fetal hematopoietic stem cells requires ARID4B to restrict autocrine KITLG/KIT-Src signaling.

ABSTRACT: Balance between the hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) duality to either possess self-renewal capacity or differentiate into multipotency progenitors (MPPs) is crucial for maintaining homeostasis of the hematopoietic stem/progenitor cell (HSPC) compartment. To retain the HSC self-renewal activity, KIT, a receptor tyrosine kinase, in HSCs is activated by its cognate ligand KITLG originating from niche cells. Here, we show that AT-rich interaction domain 4B (ARID4B) interferes with KITLG/KIT signaling, consequently allowing HSC differentiation. Conditional Arid4b knockout in mouse hematopoietic cells blocks fetal HSC differentiation, preventing hematopoiesis. Mechanistically, ARID4B-deficient HSCs self-express KITLG and overexpress KIT. As to downstream pathways of KITLG/KIT signaling, inhibition of Src family kinases rescues the HSC differentiation defect elicited by ARID4B loss. In summary, the intrinsic ARID4B-KITLG/KIT-Src axis is an HSPC regulatory program that enables the differentiation state, while KIT stimulation by KITLG from niche cells preserves the HSPC undifferentiated pool.

Inhibiting the KIT-Src pathway to ensure differentiation of hematopoietic progenitor requires ARID4B [RNA-seq]

Project description:Hematopoiesis is maintained by a highly regulated and hierarchical system, whereas aberrant control of hematopoiesis is the underlying cause of severe hematological diseases. Here, we demonstrate the indispensable role of ARID4B in fetal hematopoiesis that recruits Ezh2 to transcriptionally downregulate the expression of KIT during erythroid cell differentiation. Functional analyses reveal that the aberration of Arid4b inhibits fetal hematopoiesis at the multipotent progenitors (MPPs) stage, which reactivates the KIT-Src-family kinase (Src) pathway and leads to pre-mature erythroblast proliferation. The differentiation defect caused by ARID4B aberration could be counteracted by the Src inhibitor PP2 or by KIT knockdown. In summary, we identify ARID4B as a master regulator in the KIT-Src pathway, thus providing a fundamental insight in hematopoiesis and stem cell regulation.

Reverse signaling by glycosylphosphatidylinositol-linked Manduca ephrin requires a SRC family kinase to restrict neuronal migration in vivo.

Project description:Reverse signaling via glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-linked Ephrins may help control cell proliferation and outgrowth within the nervous system, but the mechanisms underlying this process remain poorly understood. In the embryonic enteric nervous system (ENS) of the moth Manduca sexta, migratory neurons forming the enteric plexus (EP cells) express a single Ephrin ligand (GPI-linked MsEphrin), whereas adjacent midline cells that are inhibitory to migration express the cognate receptor (MsEph). Knocking down MsEph receptor expression in cultured embryos with antisense morpholino oligonucleotides allowed the EP cells to cross the midline inappropriately, consistent with the model that reverse signaling via MsEphrin mediates a repulsive response in the ENS. Src family kinases have been implicated in reverse signaling by type-A Ephrins in other contexts, and MsEphrin colocalizes with activated forms of endogenous Src in the leading processes of the EP cells. Pharmacological inhibition of Src within the developing ENS induced aberrant midline crossovers, similar to the effect of blocking MsEphrin reverse signaling. Hyperstimulating MsEphrin reverse signaling with MsEph-Fc fusion proteins induced the rapid activation of endogenous Src specifically within the EP cells, as assayed by Western blots of single embryonic gut explants and by whole-mount immunostaining of cultured embryos. In longer cultures, treatment with MsEph-Fc caused a global inhibition of EP cell migration and outgrowth, an effect that was prevented by inhibiting Src activation. These results support the model that MsEphrin reverse signaling induces the Src-dependent retraction of EP cell processes away from the enteric midline, thereby helping to confine the neurons to their appropriate pathways.

KITLG Promotes Glomerular Endothelial Cell Injury in Diabetic Nephropathy by an Autocrine Effect.

Project description:Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is an increasing threat to human health. The impact of hyperglycemia or its metabolites, advanced glycation end-products (AGEs), on glomerular endothelial cells (GECs) and their pathophysiologic mechanisms are not well explored. Our results reveal that AGEs increased the expression and secretion of the KIT ligand (KITLG) in GECs. Both AGEs and KITLG promoted endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EndoMT) in GECs and further increased the permeability of GECs through the AKT/extracellular-signal-regulated kinase pathway. Inhibition of KITLG's effects by imatinib prevented AGE-medicated EndoMT in GECs, supporting the belief that KITLG is a critical factor for GEC injury. We found higher KITLG levels in the GECs and urine of db/db mice compared with db/m mice, and urinary KITLG levels were positively correlated with the urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR). Furthermore, type 2 diabetic patients had higher urinary KITLG levels than normal individuals, as well as urinary KITLG levels that were positively correlated with urinary ACR and negatively correlated with the estimated glomerular filtration rate. KITLG plays a pathogenic role in GEC injury in DN and might act as a biomarker of DN progression.

Lymphoid differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells requires efficient Cxcr4 desensitization.

Project description:The CXCL12/CXCR4 signaling exerts a dominant role in promoting hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell (HSPC) retention and quiescence in bone marrow. Gain-of-function CXCR4 mutations that affect homologous desensitization of the receptor have been reported in the WHIM Syndrome (WS), a rare immunodeficiency characterized by lymphopenia. The mechanisms underpinning this remain obscure. Using a mouse model with a naturally occurring WS-linked gain-of-function Cxcr4 mutation, we explored the possibility that the lymphopenia in WS arises from defects at the HSPC level. We reported that Cxcr4 desensitization is required for quiescence/cycling balance of murine short-term hematopoietic stem cells and their differentiation into multipotent and downstream lymphoid-biased progenitors. Alteration in Cxcr4 desensitization resulted in decrease of circulating HSPCs in five patients with WS. This was also evidenced in WS mice and mirrored by accumulation of HSPCs in the spleen, where we observed enhanced extramedullary hematopoiesis. Therefore, efficient Cxcr4 desensitization is critical for lymphoid differentiation of HSPCs, and its impairment is a key mechanism underpinning the lymphopenia observed in mice and likely in WS patients.
