Competition for mitogens regulates spermatogenic stem cell homeostasis in an open niche

ABSTRACT: In many tissues, homeostasis is maintained by physical contact between stem cells and an anatomically-defined niche. However, how stem cell homeostasis is achieved in environments where cells are motile and dispersed among their progeny remains unknown. Using murine spermatogenesis as a model, we find that spermatogenic stem cell density is tightly regulated by the supply of fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) from lymphatic endothelial cells. We propose that stem cell homeostasis is achieved through competition for a limited supply of FGFs. We show that the quantitative dependence of stem cell density on FGF dosage, the biased localization of stem cells toward FGF sources, and stem cell dynamics during regeneration following injury can all be predicted and explained within the framework of a minimal theoretical model based on “mitogen competition”. We propose that this model provides a generic and robust mechanism to support stem cell homeostasis in open, or facultative, niche environments.

Genome wide analysis of chick limb bud tissue treated with FGF2 for 24hrs (microarray)

Project description:During limb development, fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) govern proximal-distal outgrowth and patterning. FGFs also synchronize developmental patterning between the proximal-distal and anterior-posterior axes by maintaining sonic hedgehog (SHH) expression in cells of the zone of polarizing activity (ZPA) in the distal posterior mesoderm. SHH, in turn, maintains FGFs in the apical ectodermal ridge (AER) which caps the distal tip of the limb bud. Crosstalk between FGF and SHH signaling is critical for patterned limb development, but the mechanisms underlying this feedback loop are not well characterized. Implantation of FGF beads in the proximal posterior limb bud can maintain SHH expression in the former ZPA domain (evident 3hrs after application), while prolonged exposure (24hrs) can induce SHH outside of this domain. Although temporally and spatially disparate, comparative analysis of transcriptome data from these different populations enriched molecules required for FGF-mediated SHH regulation.

Population-level antagonism between FGF and BMP signaling steers mesoderm differentiation in embryonic stem cells

Project description:The mesodermal precursor populations for different internal organ systems are specified during gastrulation by the combined activity of extracellular signaling systems such as BMP, Wnt, Nodal, and FGF. The BMP, Wnt and Nodal signaling requirements for the differentiation of specific mesoderm subtypes in mammals have been mapped in detail, but which mesodermal cell types depend on FGF signaling is not precisely known. It is also not clear how FGF signaling modulates the activity of orthogonal signaling systems involved in mesoderm differentiation. Here, we address these questions by analyzing the effects of targeted signaling manipulations in differentiating stem cell populations with single cell resolution. We identify opposing functions of BMP and FGF, and map the boundary between FGF-dependent and -independent mesodermal lineages. Stimulation with exogenous FGF boosts the expression of endogenous Fgfs while repressing Bmp ligands. This intercellular positive autoregulation of FGF signaling coupled to the repression of BMP signaling may contribute to the specification of reproducible and coherent cohorts of cells with the same identity via a community effect, both in the embryo and in synthetic embryo-like systems.

Comparison of P18 mouse epidermis from K5-FGFR1/FGFR2 knockout and wild-type mice

Project description:Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) are master regulators of organogenesis and tissue homeostasis. We generated FGF receptor (FGFR)-deficient mice to unravel their functions in the skin. These mice revealed interesting phenotypic abnormalities, including loss of skin appendages, cutaneous inflammation, keratinocyte hyperproliferation, and acanthosis. To gain insight into the underlying molecular mechanisms, we wanted to identify genes, which are differentially expressed in the skin of wild-type and mutant mice before the onset of phenotypic alterations.

Stem cell niche organisation in the Drosophila ovary requires the ECM component Perlecan

Project description:Stem cells reside in specialised microenvironments or niches that balance stem cell proliferation and differentiation. The extracellular matrix (ECM) is an essential component of most niches, as it controls niche homeostasis, provides physical support and conveys extracellular signals. Basement membranes (BMs) are thin ECM sheets constituted mainly by Laminins, Perlecan, Collagen IV and Entactin/Nidogen and that surround epithelia and other tissues. Perlecans are secreted proteoglycans that interact with ECM proteins, ligands, receptors and growth factors such as FGF, PDGF, VEGF, Hedgehog and Wingless. Thus, Perlecans have structural and signalling functions through the binding, storage or sequestering of specific ligands. We have used the Drosophila ovary to assess the importance of Perlecan in the functioning of a stem cell niche. Ovarioles in the adult ovary are enveloped by an ECM sheath and possess a tapered structure at their anterior apex termed the germarium. The anterior tip of the germarium hosts the germline niche, where two to four germline stem cells (GSCs) reside together with few somatic cells: terminal filament (TF) cells, cap cells (CpCs) and escort cells (ECs). We report that niche architecture in the developing gonad requires trol, that niche cells secrete an isoform-specific, Perlecan-rich interstitial matrix and that DE-cadherin-dependent stem cell-niche adhesion necessitates trol. Hence, we provide evidence to support a structural role for Perlecan in germline niche establishment during larval stages and in the maintenance of a normal pool of stem cells in the adult niche.

Gene expression profiling of MM cells treated with FGF-trap molecule NSC12

Project description:Multiple myeloma (MM), the second most common hematological malignancy, frequently relapses because of chemotherapeutic resistance. Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) act as pro-angiogenic and mitogenic cytokines in MM. Here, we demonstrate that the FGF system is essential for MM cell survival by protecting MM cells from oxidative stress-induced apoptosis. Accordingly, extracellular FGF blockade by an FGF trapping approach causes proteasomal degradation of the c-Myc oncoprotein. This triggers mitochondrial oxidative stress, DNA damage and apoptosis in MM cell lines and MM cells from both naïve and relapsed/refractory patients. Our data highlight the mechanism by which the FGF system contributes to MM cell survival and disease progression, representing a therapeutic target for MM patients with poor prognosis and advanced disease stage.
