Reprogramming of heterologous cells by defined factors to generate lineage-restricted biomolecules

ABSTRACT: The ability of transcriptional regulators to drive lineage conversion of somatic cells offers great potential for the treatment of human disease. While current research in this field is focused on the generation of induced pluripotent stem cells or direct lineage transdifferentiation, less attention has been paid to the possibility of reprogramming cells to produce cytokines, growth factors and hormones. To explore the concept of switching on specific target genes in heterologous cells, we developed a model system to screen candidate factors for their ability to activate the archetypal megakaryocyte-specific chemokine platelet factor 4 (PF4) in fibroblasts. We found that co-expression of the transcriptional regulators GATA1 and FLI1 resulted in a significant increase in levels of PF4, which became magnified over time. We also determined that inclusion of a third factor, TAL1, further enhanced upregulation of PF4 expression. Our study therefore identified of TAL1 as an important component in the combination of transcriptional regulators that contribute to megakaryocyte programming, and demonstrated that such combinations can be used to produce potentially beneficial chemokines in readily available heterologous cell types.

Mitochondrial gene expression is required for platelet function and blood clotting

Project description:Platelets are anucleate blood cells that contain mitochondria and regulate blood clotting in response to injury. Mitochondria contain their own gene expression machinery which relies on nuclear encoded factors for the biogenesis of the oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) system to produce energy, ions and metabolites required for thrombosis. The autonomy of the mitochondrial gene expression machinery from the nucleus is not known and platelets provide a valuable model to understand the importance of mitochondrial gene expression in anucleate cells. We generated three different platelet-specific conditional knockout mouse models, each lacking a gene that is essential for mitochondrial gene expression at the level of RNA processing, stability and translation (Elac2Pf4?/Pf4?, Ptcd1Pf4?/Pf4 and Mtif3Pf4?/Pf4?). Loss of ELAC2, PTCD1 or MTIF3, leads to increased megakaryocyte ploidy, elevated circulating levels of reticulated platelets, thrombocytopenia and consequent extended bleeding time. Furthermore, impaired RNA metabolism also reduced agonist induced platelet activation. Transcriptomic and proteomic analyses showed that mitochondrial gene expression and protein synthesis facilitate fibrinolysis, haemostasis and blood coagulation in response to injury.

PF4-Cre mediated deletion of SRF in murine megakaryocytes.

Project description:Srf is a MADS-box transcription factor that is critical for muscle differentiation. Its function in hematopoiesis has not yet been revealed. Mkl1, a cofactor of Srf, is part of the t(1;22) translocation in acute megakaryoblastic leukemia, and plays a critical role in megakaryopoiesis. In order to test the role of Srf in megakaryocyte development, we crossed Pf4-Cre mice, which express Cre recombinase in cells committed to the megakaryocytic lineage, to SrfF/F mice in which functional Srf is no longer expressed after Cre-mediated excision. Pf4-Cre/SrfF/F (KO) mice are born with normal mendelian frequency, but have significant macrothrombocytopenia with approximately 50% reduction in platelet count. In contrast, the BM has increased numbers and percentages of CD41+ megakaryocytes (WT: 0.41+/-0.06%; KO: 1.92+/-0.12%) with significantly reduced ploidy. KO mice show significantly increased megakaryocyte progenitors in the BM by both FACS analysis and CFU-Mk. Megakaryocytes lacking Srf have abnormal stress fiber and demarcation membrane formation and platelets lacking Srf have abnormal actin distribution. In vitro and in vivo assays reveal platelet function defects in KO mice. Critical actin cytoskeletal genes are downregulated in KO megakaryocytes. Thus, Srf is required for normal megakaryocyte maturation and platelet production, due at least in part, to regulation of cytoskeletal genes. C-kit+CD41+ megakaryocyte progenitors from PF4-Cre/SRF C57BL/6 SRF WT (3) and C57BL/6 SRF KO (3) mice were sorted by flow cytometry and cultured for three days in thrombopoietin.

Heterologous Microarray Hybridization Between Vesicomyid Symbionts

Project description:The goal of this study was to use heterologous microarray hybridization to determine genomic content shared among different vesicomyid symbionts. These symbionts are closely related and can be thought of as different strains of bacteria, facilitating the use of heterologous microarray hybridization to determine genomic content. Keywords: comparative genomic hybridization Microarrays were built off the Ruthia magnifica genome and two replicate hybridizations to this organism were used as a baseline for comparisons. Genomic DNA from two other vesicomyid symbionts (Calyptogena kilmeri and C. pacifica symbionts) was also hybridized to the array with three biological replicates for each sample.

RNAseq of S. meliloti Rm1021 all ecf/anti-σ deletion mutants overexpressing heterologous ecf genes compared to an empty vector control strain

Project description:Bacterial σ factors are dissociable subunits of the core RNA polymerase and important for promoter recognition and transcription initiation. Extracytoplasmic function (ECF) σ factors (σs) represent the most minimalistic and diverse group of alternative σs within the σ70 protein family. It has been shown that heterologous ECF σs hold great potential as context independent regulators in a variety of bacterial species and we implemented a core set of 12 heterologous ECF σs and their cognate promoters in Sinorhizobium meliloti. To analyze if heterologous ECF σs affect transcription from the host genome, we overexpressed the ecf02_2817 gene encoding σE from E. coli and the ecf11_0987 gene from Vibrio parahaemolyticus from ~20 copy number plasmid in RFF625c, a S. meliloti Rm1021 strain deleted for all native ECF/anti-σ genes (Lang et al. 2018, DOI: 10.1128/mSphereDirect.00454-18) .We compared the RNAseq gene expression profile of these strains to an empty vector control strain.

Project description:Heterologous gene expression to expand the native genetic capability of E. coli is the backbone of protein expression and metabolic engineering. The goal of this study was to determine how the identity of the heterologous gene expressed affected the host cell transcriptome. We generated a library of E. coli expressing 46 heterologous genes through an identical rhamnose inducible expression system and perform high throughput ribosome profiling.
