Zebrafish chemical compound screen uncovers inducers of skeletal muscle engraftment across species

ABSTRACT: Stem cell transplantation presents a potentially curative strategy for genetic disorders of skeletal muscle, but the application of this approach has been limited due to the deleterious effects of cell expansion in vitro and poor engraftment efficiency. In an effort to overcome this hurdle, we sought to identify molecular signals that enhance the myogenic activity of cultured muscle progenitors. Here, we report the development and application of a cross-species small molecule screening platform employing zebrafish and mouse, which enables rapid, direct evaluation of the effects of chemical compounds on the engraftment of transplanted muscle precursor cells. Using this system, we screened a library of bioactive lipids to identify those that could increase myogenic engraftment in zebrafish and mice. These efforts identified two lipids, lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) and niflumic acid (NFA), both linked to activation of intracellular calcium ion flux, which showed conserved, dose-dependent and synergistic effects in promoting muscle engraftment across these vertebrate species.

Epoxyeicosatrienoic Acids Enhance Haematopoietic Stem and Progenitor Cell Specification and Engraftment

Project description:Haematopoietic stem and progenitor cell (HSPC) transplant is a widely used treatment for life-threatening conditions including leukemia; however, the molecular mechanisms regulating HSPC engraftment of the recipient niche remain incompletely understood. Here, we developed a competitive HSPC transplant method in adult zebrafish, using in vivo imaging as a non-invasive readout. We used this system to conduct a chemical screen and identified epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EET) as a family of lipids that enhance HSPC engraftment. EETs’ pro-haematopoietic effects are conserved in the developing zebrafish, where this molecule promotes HSPC specification through activating a unique AP-1/runx1 transcription program autonomous to the haemogenic endothelium. This effect requires the activation of PI3K pathway, specifically PI3Kg. In adult HSPCs, EETs induce transcriptional programs including AP-1 activation, modulating multiple cellular processes, such as migration, to promote engraftment. Finally, we demonstrated that the EET effects on enhancing HSPC homing and engraftment are conserved in mammals. Our study established a novel method to explore the molecular mechanisms of HSPC engraftment, and discovered a previously unrecognized, evolutionarily conserved pathway regulating multiple haematopoietic generation and regeneration processes. EETs may have clinical application in marrow or cord blood transplantation.

Pluripotent stem cell-derived myogenic progenitors remodel their molecular signature upon in vivo engraftment [Microarray]

Project description:Optimal cell-based therapies for the treatment of muscle degenerative disorders should not only regenerate fibers, but provide a quiescent satellite cell pool ensuring long-term maintenance and regeneration. Conditional expression of Pax3/Pax7 in differentiating pluripotent stem cells (PSC) allows the generation of myogenic progenitors endowed with satellite cell-like abilities. To identify the molecular determinants underlying their regenerative potential, we performed transcriptome analyses of these cells along with primary myogenic cells from several developmental stages. Here we show that in vitro generated PSC-derived myogenic progenitors possess a molecular signature similar to embryonic/fetal myoblasts. However, compared to fetal myoblasts, following transplantation they show superior myofiber engraftment and ability to seed the satellite cell niche, respond to multiple re-injuries and contribute to long-term regeneration. Upon engraftment, the transcriptome of Pax3/Pax7-induced PSC-derived myogenic progenitors changes dramatically, acquiring similarity to that of satellite cells, particularly in genes involved in extracellular matrix remodeling. Single cell profiling reveals that these changes are induced, not selected, by the in vivo environment. These findings demonstrate that Pax3/Pax7-induced PSC-derived myogenic progenitors possess proliferative and migratory abilities characteristic of earlier developmental stages, and an intrinsic ability to respond to environmental cues upon skeletal muscle regeneration.

Transcriptome analysis and microRNAs profile of mesodermal iPSCs derived progenitors

Project description:Mesodermal iPSC derived progenitors (MiPs) obtained from human fetal fibroblasts and skeletal muscle mesoangioblasts show a different myogenic potential in vitro and when injected in vivo in mice model of Muscular Dystrophy. MAB-MiPs hold greater myogenic commitment compared to f-MiPs, showed by increased engraftment and regeneration of the hindlimb muscle. Here we report that RNA sequencing of MiPs and of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) of origin allows identification of genes differentially regulated between fibroblast and MABs progenies that might be responsible for the different contribution to muscle regeneration. MicroRNA- sequencing of the same cell lines further allowed a selection of a set of miRNAs that can drive the myogenic propensity of MiPs in vivo and identification of promyogenic and antimyogenic miRNA cocktails. Manipulation of the selected miRNAs improved the engraftment and regeneration of MiPs. Additional RNA-sequencing after the treatment with the defined promyogenic and antimyogenic cocktails unraveled additional information on the pathways modulated by the selected factors.

Molecular correlates for HPV-negative head and neck cancer engraftment prognosticate patient outcomes

Project description:There is a pressing need to improve risk stratification and treatment selection for HPV-negative head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) due to the adverse side effects of treatment. One of the most important prognostic features is metastases in lymph nodes. Previously, we demonstrated that tumor formation in patient-derived xenografts (i.e. engraftment) was associated with poor clinical outcomes in patients with HPV-negative HNSCC. However, assessing engraftment is challenging to implement in clinical settings. Here, we performed transcriptomic and proteomic profiling of 88 HNSCC patients and found the relationship between engraftment and clinical outcomes was recapitulated by molecular phenotype. We identified LAMC2 and TGM3 as candidate prognostic biomarkers and validated their utility in an independent cohort containing 404 HPV-negative HNSCC patients. Strikingly, these markers significantly improve prediction of outcomes beyond nodal status alone and can significantly stratify patients without any nodal involvement. Overall, our study demonstrates how the molecular characteristics of engraftment can inform patient prognostication.
