Parallel spatial transcriptomics, single-cell and bulk RNA-Seq analysis of the human embryonic HSC niche, the dorsal aorta

ABSTRACT: Haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) first emerge in the embryonic aorta-gonad-mesonephros (AGM) region. Studies on model organisms defined intersecting signalling pathways that converge to promote HSC emergence predominantly in the ventral domain of the dorsal aorta. Much less is known about mechanisms driving HSC development in human. Here, to identify secreted signals underlying human HSC development, we combined spatial transcriptomics analysis of dorso-ventral polarised signalling in the aorta with gene expression profiling of sorted cell populations and single cells. Our analysis revealed a subset of aortic endothelial cells with downregulated arterial signature and a predicted lineage relationship with the emerging HSC/ progenitor population. Analysis of the ventrally polarised molecular landscape identified endothelin 1 as an important secreted regulator of human HSC development. The obtained gene expression datasets will inform future studies on mechanisms of HSC development in vivo and on the generation of clinically relevant HSCs in vitro.

An interactive resource of molecular signalling in the developing human haematopoietic stem cell (HSC) niche [LCM-Seq]

Project description:The emergence of definitive human haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) during Carnegie Stages (CS) 14-17 in the aorta-gonad-mesonephros (AGM) region is a complex and tightly regulated process. In a previous study we conducted spatial transcriptomic analysis of the human AGM region at the end of this period (CS16/17) and identified secreted factors involved in HSC development. Here, we extend our analysis to investigate the progression of dorso-ventral polarized signalling around the dorsal aorta over the entire period of HSC emergence. Our results reveal a dramatic increase in signalling complexity from the CS13 to CS14 transition, coinciding with the activation of endothelial-to-haematopoietic transition (EHT) in the ventral domain of the dorsal aorta. We further observe stage-specific changes in signalling complexity up to CS17. Signalling progression described here may underpin step-wise maturation of HSCs described in the mouse model. A data-rich bioinformatics resource presented here along with an interactive online interface enables in silico analysis of molecular interactions between spatially defined domains of the AGM region. This resource will be of particular interest for researchers studying mechanisms underlying human HSC development as well as those developing in vitro methods for the generation of clinically relevant HSCs from pluripotent stem cells.

A molecular roadmap of the aorta-gonad-mesonephros region reveals BMPER as a novel regulator of HSC maturation [AGM]

Project description:In the developing embryo, haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) emerge from the aorta-gonad-mesonephros (AGM) region but the molecular regulation of this process is poorly understood. Recently, the progression from E9.5 to E10.5 and polarity along the dorso-ventral axis have been identified as clear demarcations of the supportive HSC niche. To identify novel secreted regulators of HSC maturation, we performed RNA-sequencing over these spatio-temporal transitions in the AGM region, and supportive OP9 cell line.

Mapping Human Hematopoietic Stem Cells From Hemogenic Endothelium To Birth

Project description:Human hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) ontogeny is poorly defined due to the inability to identify HSCs as they emerge and mature in different hematopoietic sites. We created a single-cell transcriptome map of human hematopoietic tissues from 1st trimester to birth and found that HSC signature RUNX1+HOXA9+MLLT3+MECOM+HLF+SPINK2+ distinguishes HSCs from progenitors throughout gestation. In addition to the AGM (aorta-gonad-mesonephros) region, nascent HSCs populated the placenta and yolk sac before colonizing the liver at 6 weeks. Comparison of HSCs from different maturation stages revealed the establishment of HSC transcription factor machinery upon HSC emergence, whereas their surface phenotype evolved throughout development. HSC transition to the liver marked a molecular shift evidenced by suppression of surface antigens, reflecting nascent HSC identity, and acquisition of HSC maturity markers PROM1/CD133 and HLA-DR. HSC origin was tracked to ALDH1A1+KCNK17+ hemogenic endothelial (HE) cells, which arose from IL33+ALDH1A1+ arterial endothelial subset, termed pre-HE. Spatial transcriptomics and immunofluorescence visualized this process in ventrally located intra-aortic hematopoietic clusters. The in vivo map of human HSC ontogeny validated the generation of AGM-like definitive HSPCs from human pluripotent stem cells, and serves as a guide to improve their maturation to functional HSCs.

Mesoderm-Derived PDGFRA+ Cells Regulate the Emergence of Hematopoietic Stem Cells in the Dorsal Aorta

Project description:Mouse hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) first emerge at embryonic day 10.5 (E10.5) on the ventral surface of the dorsal aorta, by endothelial-to-hematopoietic transition (EHT). We investigated whether cells with mesenchymal stem cell-like cell (MSC-LCs) activity that provide an essential niche for HSCs in the bone marrow reside in the aorta-gonad-mesonephros (AGM) and contribute to the structural development of the dorsal aorta and EHT. Using transgenic mice, we demonstrate a lineage hierarchy for AGM MSC-LCs and trace the aortic endothelium and HSCs to mesoderm-derived (Mesp1) PDGFRA+ cells. Mesp1/PDGFRA+ MSC-LCs dominate the sub-endothelial and ventral stroma in the E10.5–E11.5 AGM but by E13.5 are replaced by neural crest (Wnt1) MSC-LCs. Co-aggregating endothelial cells with Mesp1 but not with Wnt1 MSC-LCs resulted in EHT and generation of LT-HSCs that is interrupted by dose-dependent inhibition of PDGFRA signalling. This partnership between endothelial cells and AGM Mesp1 MSC-LCs could be harnessed to manufacture HSCs from endothelium.

ChIP-on-chip with anti-RBPj antibody from embryonic AGM E11.5

Project description:Hematopoietic Stem Cells (HSC) are originated during embryonic development from endothelial-like cells located in the ventral side of the dorsal aorta around day E10-12 of murine development. This region is called AGM for Aorta/Gonad/Mesonephros refering to the tissues around the hemogenic aorta. Hematopoiesis depends on the Notch pathway and the identification of Notch-targets is important for the understanding of blood origin.

Expression from early pre-hematopoietic progenitors from mouse embryo

Project description:Hematopoietic Stem Cells (HSC) are originated during embryonic development from endothelial-like cells located in the ventral side of the dorsal aorta around day E10-12 of murine development. This region is called AGM for Aorta/Gonad/Mesonephros and refers to the tissues around the hemogenic aorta. Cells that emerge from the endothelium and show hematopoietic traits can be distinguished by the expression of the c-kit receptor and finally acquire the CD45 marker.

Cis inhibition of NOTCH1 through JAGGED1 sustains embryonic Hematopoietic stem cell fate [scRNA-seq]

Project description:Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) develop from the hemogenic endothelium (HE) in the aorta- gonads-and mesonephros (AGM) region and reside within Intra-aortic hematopoietic clusters (IAHC) along with hematopoietic progenitors (HPC). The signalling mechanisms that distinguish HSCs from HPCs are unknown. Notch signaling is essential for arterial specification, IAHC formation and HSC activity, but current studies on how Notch segregates these different fates are inconsistent. We now demonstrate that Notch activity is highest in a subset of, GFI1+, HSC-primed HE cells, and is gradually lost with HSC maturation. We uncover that the HSC phenotype is maintained due to increasing levels of NOTCH1 and JAG1 interactions on the surface of the same cell (cis) that renders the NOTCH1 receptor from being activated. Forced activation of the NOTCH1 receptor in IAHC activates a hematopoietic differentiation program. Our results indicate that NOTCH1-JAG1 cis-inhibition preserves the HSC phenotype in the hematopoietic clusters of the embryonic aorta.
