Aging alters the epigenetic asymmetry of HSC division [scRNA-Seq]

ABSTRACT: Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) balance self-renewal and differentiation to maintain homeostasis. With aging, the frequency of polar HSCs decreases. Cell polarity in HSCs is controlled by the activity of the small RhoGTPase Cdc42. Here we demonstrate, using a comprehensive set of paired daughter cell analyses that include single cell 3D-confocal imaging, single cell transplants, single cell RNA-seq as well as single cell ATAC-seq, that the outcome of HSC divisions is strongly linked to the polarity status before mitosis, which is in turn determined by the level of the activity Cdc42 in stem cells. Aged apolar HSCs undergo preferentially self-renewing symmetric divisions, resulting in daughter stem cells with reduced regenerative capacity and lymphoid potential, while young polar HSCs undergo preferentially asymmetric divisions. Mathematical modeling in combination with experimental data implies a mechanistic role of the asymmetric sorting of Cdc42 in determining the potential of daughter cells via epigenetic mechanisms. Therefore, molecules that control HSC polarity might serve as modulators of the mode of stem cell division regulating the potential of daughter cells.

Aging alters the epigenetic asymmetry of HSC division [scATAC-Seq]

Repolarization of HSC attenuates HSCs failure in Shwachman-Diamond syndrome

Project description:Shwachman-Diamond syndrome (SDS) is a bone marrow failure (BMF) syndrome associated with an increased risk of myelodysplasia and leukemia. The molecular mechanisms of SDS are not fully understood. We report that primitive hematopoietic cells from SDS patients present with a reduced activity of the small Rho GTPase Cdc42 and concomitantly a reduced frequency of HSCs polar for polarity proteins. The level of apolarity of SDS HSCs correlated with the magnitude of HSC depletion in SDS patients. Importantly, exogenously provided Wnt5a or GDF11 that elevates the activity of Cdc42 restored polarity in SDS HSCs and increased the number of HSCs in SDS patient samples in surrogate ex vivo assays. Single cell level RNA-Seq analyses of SDS HSCs and daughter cells demonstrated that SDS-HSC treated with GDF11 are transcriptionally more similar to control than to SDS-HSCs. Treatment with GDF11 reverted pathways in SDS HSCs associated with rRNA processing and ribosome function, but also viral infection and immune function, p53-dependent DNA damage, spindle checkpoints, and metabolism, further implying a role of these pathways in HSC failure in SDS. Our data suggest that HSC failure in SDS is driven at least in part by low Cdc42 activity in SDS HSCs. Our data thus identify novel rationale approaches to attenuate HSCs failure in SDS.

Spatially resolved proteomics of the Arabidopsis stomatal lineage identifies polarity complexes for cell divisions and stomatal pores

Project description:Cell polarity is used to guide asymmetric divisions and create morphologically diverse cells. We find that two oppositely oriented cortical polarity domains present during the asymmetric divisions in the Arabidopsis stomatal lineage are reconfigured into polar domains marking ventral (pore-forming) and outward facing domains of maturing stomatal guard cells. Proteins that define these opposing polarity domains were used as baits in miniTurboID-based proximity labeling. Among differentially enriched proteins we find SOSEKIs and their effector ANGUSTIFOLIA, protein kinase CKII and LC8-type DYNEIN LIGHT CHAIN1 as polar scaffolds. Using AI-facilitated protein structure prediction models, we identify their potential interaction interfaces. Functional and localization analysis of polarity protein OPL2 and its newly discovered partners suggest a positive interaction with mitotic microtubules and a potential role in cytokinesis. This combination of cutting-edge proteomics and structural modeling with live cell imaging provides insights into how polarity is rewired in different cell types and cell cycle stages.

LaminA/C regulates epigenetic and chromatin architecture changes upon aging of hematopoietic stem cells

Project description:The decline of hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) function upon aging contributes to the senescent immune remodeling and to leukemia pathogenesis. Aged HSCs show changes in their epigenome, like alterations in the global and local DNA/histone methylation and histone acetylation landscape. Previously, we showed a correlation between high Cdc42 activity and the loss of intra-nuclear epigenetic polarity (epipolarity), as indicated by the specific location of histone H4 lysine 16 acetylation (H4K16ac). Here, we show that not all histone modifications display a polar localization and that loss of H4K16ac amount and epipolarity is specific to aged HSCs. Increased levels of H4K16ac are insufficient to restore polarity in aged HSCs and for the restoration of HSC function. Changes in H4K16ac upon aging and rejuvenation of HSCs are correlated to a shift of chromosome 11 architecture and nuclear volume and shape. Surprisingly, by taking advantage of knock-out mouse models we demonstrate that increased Cdc42 activity levels correlate with the repression of LaminA/C expression, which control chromosome 11 distribution, H4K16ac polarity and the nuclear volume and shape of aged HSCs. These chromatin and epigenetic architecture changes are targeted by altering the activity of the small RhoGTPase Cdc42, that regulates LaminA/C. Collectively, our data show that chromatin architecture changes in stem cells are reversible by changing levels of Cdc42 activity, revealing an unanticipated way to pharmacologically target LaminA/C expression and revert alterations of the epigenetic architecture in aged HSCs.

Distinct Self-renewal and Differentiation Phases in the Niche of Infrequently Dividing Hair Follicle Stem Cells

Project description:In homeostasis of adult vertebrate tissues, stem cells are thought to self-renew by infrequent and asymmetric divisions that generate another stem cell daughter and a progenitor daughter cell committed to differentiate. This model is based largely on in vivo invertebrate or in vitro mammal studies. Here we examine the dynamic behaviour of adult hair follicle stem cells in their normal setting by employing mice with repressible H2B-GFP expression to track cell divisions and Cre inducible mice to perform long-term single cell lineage tracing. We provide direct evidence for the infrequent stem cell division model in intact tissue. Moreover, we find that differentiation of progenitor cells occurs at different times and tissue locations than self-renewal of stem cells. Distinct fates of differentiation or self-renewal are assigned to individual cells in a temporal-spatial manner. We propose that large clusters of tissue stem cells behave as populations, whose maintenance involves unidirectional daughter-cell fate decisions. We used microarrays to expression profile the stem cell progeny generated at distinct differentiation and self-renewal stages.

A molecular framework for control of oriented cell division in the Arabidopsis embryo

Project description:Premitotic control of cell division orientation is critical for plant development, as cell walls prevent extensive cell remodelling or migration. Whilst many divisions are proliferative and add cells to existing tissues, some divisions are formative, and generate new tissue layers or growth axes. Such formative divisions are often asymmetric in nature, producing daughters with different fates. We have previously shown that in the Arabidopsis thaliana embryo, developmental asymmetry is correlated with geometric asymmetry, creating daughter cells of unequal volume. Such divisions are generated by division planes that deviate from a default “minimal surface area” rule. Inhibition of auxin response leads to reversal to this default, yet the mechanisms underlying division plane choice in the embryo have been unclear. Here we show that auxin-dependent division plane control involves alterations in cell geometry, but not in cell polarity or nuclear position. Through transcriptome profiling, we find that auxin regulates genes controlling cell wall and cytoskeleton properties. We confirm the involvement of microtubule (MT)-binding proteins in embryo division control. Topology of both MT and Actin cytoskeleton depend on auxin response, and genetically controlled MT or Actin depolymerization in embryos leads to disruption of asymmetric divisions, including reversion to the default. Our work shows how auxin-dependent control of MT- and Actin cytoskeleton properties interacts with cell geometry to generate asymmetric divisions during the earliest steps in plant development.

A CDK1 phosphorylation site on Drosophila PAR-3 regulates neuroblast polarisation and sensory organ formation

Project description:The generation of distinct cell fates during development depends on asymmetric cell division of progenitor cells. In the central and peripheral nervous system of Drosophila, progenitor cells respectively called neuroblasts or sensory organ precursors use PAR polarity during mitosis to control cell fate determination in their daughter cells. How polarity and the cell cycle are coupled, and how the cell cycle machinery regulates PAR protein function and cell fate determination is poorly understood. Here, we generate an analog sensitive allele of CDK1 and reveal that its partial inhibition weakens but does not abolish apical polarity in embryonic and larval neuroblasts and leads to defects in polarisation of fate determinants. We describe a novel in vivo phosphorylation of Bazooka, the Drosophila homolog of PAR-3, on Serine180, a consensus CDK phosphorylation site. In some tissular contexts, phosphorylation of Serine180 occurs in asymmetrically dividing cells but not in their symmetrically dividing neighbours. In neuroblasts, Serine180 phosphomutants disrupt the timing of basal polarisation. Serine180 phosphomutants also affect the specification and binary cell fate determination of sensory organ precursors as well as Baz localisation during their asymmetric cell divisions. Finally, we show that CDK1 phosphorylates Serine-S180 and an equivalent Serine on human PAR-3 in vitro.

CDC42 controlled apical-basal polarity regulates intestinal stem cell to transit amplifying cell fate transition via YAP-EGF-mTOR signaling

Project description:Epithelial polarity is controlled by a polarity machinery including the Rho GTPase CDC42 and Scribble/PAR. By using intestinal stem cell (ISC)-specific deletion of CDC42 in Olfm4-IRES-eGFPCreERT2;CDC42flox/flox mice, we found that ISC-initiated CDC42 loss caused a drastic hyper-proliferation of transit amplifying (TA) cells and disrupted epithelial polarity. CDC42-null crypts displayed expanded TA cell and diminished ISC populations, accompanied by elevated hippo signaling via YAP/TAZ - Ereg and mTOR activation, independent from canonical Wnt signaling. YAP/TAZ conditional knockout restored the balance of ISC/TA cell populations and crypt proliferation but did not rescue the polarity in CDC42-null small intestine. mTOR or EGFR inhibitor treatment of CDC42 KO mice exhibited similar rescuing effects without affecting YAP/TAZ signaling. Inducible ablation of Scribble in intestinal epithelial cells mimics that of CDC42 KO defects including crypt hyperplasia and hippo signaling activation. Mammalian epithelial polarity regulates ISC and TA cell fate and proliferation via a hippo-Ereg-mTOR cascade.

RNA methylation maintains hematopoietic stem cell identity and symmetric commitment

Project description:Stem cells balance cellular fates through asymmetric and symmetric divisions in order to self-renew or to generate downstream progenitors. Symmetric commitment divisions in stem cells are required for rapid regeneration during tissue damage and stress. The control of symmetric commitment remains poorly defined. N6-methyladenosine (m6A), the most abundant posttranscriptional mRNA modification controls cellular states and its abundance is dysregulated in cancer. Here we show that mRNA methylation controls symmetric commitment and cell identity of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). Using single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) in combination with transcriptomic profiling of HSPCs (hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells) from control and m6A methyltransferase Mettl3 conditional knockout mice, we found that m6A-deficient HSC fail to symmetrically differentiate. Dividing HSCs are expanded and are blocked in an intermediate state that molecularly and functionally resembles multipotent progenitors. Mechanistically, RNA methylation controls Myc mRNA abundance in differentiating HSCs. Importantly, we identified MYC as a new marker for HSC asymmetric and symmetric commitment. Furthermore, forced expression of MYC rescued m6A’s requirement for engraftment indicating its importance in the early stage of HSC cellular fate. Overall our results indicate that RNA methylation is critical for normal blood homeostasis and may provide a general mechanism for how stem cells regulate differentiation fate choice.

Combined single-cell tracking and omics improves blood stem cell fate regulator identification

Project description:HSCs can undergo asymmetric lysosomal division, marking the daughter receiving less lysosomes for metabolic activation and its corresponding sister for quiescence (Loeffler et al. 2019, Nature). We use scRNA-Seq to trace the earliest fate regulators controlling this fate divergence in HSC daughter cells. Methods: We use quantitative time-lapse imaging of murine HSCs to detect their first in-vitro division. Cells are isolated with a micromanipulator and submitted to Smart-Seq2 RNA sequencing. Single-end reads were mapped to the M 21 release mouse genome using STAR aligner. Raw Counts are extracted with featureCounts. Results: We successfully isolated 474 high-quality single cell transcriptomes from HSC daughter cells and mapped their transcriptional profiles to the observed inheritance.
