Tracking ex vivo hematopoietic stem cell function using Fgd5 and EPCR reveals molecular regulators of expansion.

ABSTRACT: Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) cultured outside the body are the fundamental component of a wide range of cellular and gene therapies. Recent efforts have achieved more than 200-fold expansion of functional HSCs, but their molecular characterization has not been possible due to the substantial majority of cells in these cultures being non-HSCs and the fact that single cell-initiated cultures display substantial clone-to-clone variability. Using the Fgd5 reporter mouse in combination with EPCR, we have identified an in vitro reporter strategy capable of exclusively identifying HSC-containing clones and prospectively separating HSCs from non-HSCs. Linking single clone functional transplantation data with single clone gene expression profiling, we also reveal the molecular profile of expanded HSCs which is more similar to actively cycling fetal liver HSCs than quiescent adult bone marrow HSCs from which they were derived. A gene expression signature derived from the molecular profiling identifies core molecular components of HSCs, including Prdm16, Fstl1 and Palld, that can further predict the functional outcome in transplantation assays. Taken together, this system represents a new tool to be used for a wide-range of functional screening and molecular experiments previously not possible to carry out due to limited HSC numbers

Epigenetic Memory Underlies Cell Autonomous Heterogeneous Behavior of Hematopoietic Stem Cells

Project description:Stem cells determine homeostasis and repair of many tissues and are increasingly recognized as functionally heterogeneous. To define the extent of and molecular basis for heterogeneity we overlaid functional, transcriptional and epigenetic attributes of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) at a clonal level using endogenous fluorescent tagging. Endogenous HSC had clone-specific functional attributes in vivo. The intra-clonal behaviors were highly stereotypic, conserved under the stress of transplantation, inflammation and genotoxic injury, and associated with distinctive transcriptional, DNA methylation and chromatin accessibility patterns. Further, HSC function corresponded to epigenetic configuration but not always to transcriptional state. Therefore, hematopoiesis under homeostatic and stress conditions represents the integrated action of highly heterogeneous clones of HSC with epigenetically scripted behaviors. This high degree of epigenetically driven cell autonomy among HSCs implies that refinement of the concepts of stem cell plasticity and of the stem cell niche are warranted.

Molecular characterization of hematopoietic stem cells after in vitro amplification on biomimetic 3D PDMS cell culture scaffoldsMolecular characterization of hematopoietic stem cells after in vitro amplification on biomimetic 3D PDMS cell culture scaffolds

Project description:Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is successfully applied since the late 1950s, however, its efficacy still needs to be improved. A promising strategy is to transplant high numbers of pluripotent hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). Therefore, an advanced ex vivo culture system is needed that supports the proliferation and maintains the pluripotency of HSC to override possible limitations in cell numbers gained from donors. To model the natural HSC niche in vitro and thus, to amplify high numbers of undifferentiated HSCs, we used an optimized HSC cell culture medium in combination with artificial 3D bone marrow-like scaffolds made of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). After 14 days in vitro (DIV) cell culture, we performed transcriptome and proteome analysis of the whole cell populations. Ingenuity pathway analysis (IPA) indicated that our 3D PDMS cell culture scaffolds activated interleukin, SREBP, mTOR and FOXO signaling pathways as well as the HSC metabolism, which we confirmed by ELISA, Western blot and metabolic flux analysis. These molecular signaling pathways and HSC metabolism are well known to promote the expansion HSCs and are involved in their pluripotency maintenance. After selection and enrichment of immature CD34-positive/CD38-negative HSCs using FACS sorting, we could confirm our findings by another proteome analysis followed by IPA. Thus, we could show that our 3D bone marrow-like PDMS scaffolds activate key molecular signaling pathways to amplify the numbers of undifferentiated HSC efficiently ex vivo.

Single cell hibernation cultures identify molecules dispensable for haematopoietic stem cell self-renewal

Project description:Advances in the isolation and gene expression profiling of single haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) have permitted in-depth resolution of their molecular program. However, long-term HSCs (LT-HSCs) can only be isolated to near purity from adult mouse bone marrow, thereby precluding studies of their molecular program in different physiological states. Here, we describe a powerful 7-day culture system that removes single LT-HSCs from their native bone marrow microenvironment without compromising their functional potential. LT-HSCs are maintained as single cells and retain full HSC function compared to freshly isolated LT-HSCs with respect to divisional kinetics, colony forming cell potential (73.9%), and transplantation into primary (53%) and secondary (44%) recipients. Comparison of molecular profiles of single hibernating LT-HSCs to freshly isolated counterparts showed a high degree of similarity, but also identified key factors dispensable for LT-HSC function in transplantation assays including members of the AP1 complex (Jun, Fos, and Ncor2), Sult1a1 and Cish.

miR-125a Confers Multi-Lineage Long-Term Repopulating Stem Cell Activity to Murine and Human Hematopoietic Progenitors

Project description:Umbilical cord blood (CB) is a non-invasive, convenient and broadly used source of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) for allogeneic stem cell transplantation. However, limiting numbers of HSCs remain a major constraint for its clinical application. One feasible option would be to expand HSCs to improve therapeutic outcome, however available protocols and the molecular mechanisms governing the self-renewal of HSC are unclear. Here we show that ectopic expression of a single miRNA, miR-125a, in purified murine and human multipotent progenitors (MPP) resulted in increased self-renewal and robust long-term multi-lineage repopulation in transplanted recipient mice. Using quantitative proteomics and Western blot analysis, we identified a restricted set of miR-125a targets which revealed the involvement of the MAP kinase signaling pathway in conferring long-term repopulating capacity to multipotent progenitors in human and mice. Our findings offer the innovative potential to use MPP with enhanced self-renewal activity to augment limited sources of HSC to improve clinical protocols.

Divisional History Identifies Differential Precursor Contributions in Native and Perturbed Hematopoiesis and Reveals Functionally Distinct Stem Cell Subsets

Project description:To uphold appropriate homeostasis of short-lived blood cells, immature blood cells need to proliferate vigorously. Here, using a conditional H2B-mCherry labeling mouse-model, we characterize hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) and progenitor proliferation dynamics in steady state, upon physiological aging and following several types of induced stress. Following transplantation, HSCs shifted towards higher degrees of proliferation that was sustained long-term. HSCs were, by contrast, poorly recruited into proliferation following cytokine-induced mobilization and after acute depletions of selected blood cell lineages. Using indexed single cell sorting coupled to multiplex gene expression analyses, proliferation history separated candidate HSCs into units with distinct molecular and functional attributes. Our data thereby highlight that HSC proliferation following transplantation is fundamentally different not only from native hematopoiesis but also from other stress contexts, and demonstrate the power of divisional history as a functional criterion to resolve HSC heterogeneity.

Functional and molecular profiling of hematopoietic stem cells during regeneration

Project description:Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) enable hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT) through their ability to replenish the entire blood system. Proliferation of HSCs is linked to decreased reconstitution potential, and a precise regulation of actively dividing HSCs is thus essential to ensure long-term functionality. This regulation becomes important in the transplantation setting where HSCs undergo proliferation followed by a gradual transition to quiescence and homeostasis. While mouse HSCs have been well studied during homeostatic conditions, the mechanisms regulating HSC activation during stress remain unclear. Here, we analyzed the different phases of regeneration following transplantation. We isolated bone marrow from mice at eight time points after transplantation and examined the reconstitution dynamics and transcriptional profiles of stem and progenitor populations. We found that regenerating HSCs initially produced rapidly expanding progenitors and displayed distinct changes in fatty acid metabolism and glycolysis. Moreover, we observed molecular changes in cell cycle, MYC and mTOR signaling in both HSCs and the progenitor subsets. We used a decay rate model to fit the temporal transcription profiles of regenerating HSCs and identified genes with progressively decreased or increased expression after transplantation. These genes overlapped to a large extent with published gene sets associated with key aspects of HSC function demonstrating the potential of this data set as a resource for identification of novel HSC regulators. Taken together, our study provides a detailed functional and molecular characterization of HSCs at different phases of regeneration and identifies a gene set associated with the transition from proliferation to quiescence.

Live-animal imaging of native hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells

Project description:As the biology of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) has been predominantly studied under transplantation conditions, it has been challenging to study dynamic HSC behaviors in their native niche given under steady state conditions. Here, we describe the generation of a double knock-in fluorescent reporter that restricts the reporter labeling exclusively to the LT-HSC compartment. Single cell RNAseq comparing previously published LSK signatures (GEO: GSE90742) to our sorted fluorescently labeled cells (sorted without the use of any other cell surface markers) demonstrates that the fluorescently marked cells in our unique mouse model are exclusively found in the LT-HSC compartment in terms of their overal RNA content. This confirms that the generated mice label LT-HSCs in a highly specific manner.

An Epigenetic Component of Hematopoietic Stem Cell Aging Amenable to Reprogramming Into a Young State

Project description:Aging of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) leads to several functional changes, including alterations affecting self-renewal and differentiation. While it is well established that many of the age-induced changes are intrinsic to HSCs, less is known about the stability of this state. Here, we entertained the hypothesis that HSC aging is driven by the acquisition of permanent genetic mutations. To examine this issue at a functional level in vivo, we applied induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cell reprogramming of aged hematopoietic progenitors and allowed the resulting aged-derived iPS cells to reform hematopoiesis via blastocyst complementation. Next, we functionally characterized iPS-derived HSCs in primary chimeras and following the transplantation of 're-differentiated' HSCs into new hosts; the gold standard to assess HSC function. Our data demonstrate remarkably similar functional properties of iPS-derived and endogenous blastocyst-derived HSCs, despite the extensive chronological and proliferative age of the former. Our results therefore favor a model in which an underlying, but reversible, epigenetic component is a hallmark of HSC aging rather than being driven by an increased DNA mutation burden. Hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) have been sorted out from young and aged steady-state mice, and from recipients transplanted with young and aged bone marrow. Generated iPS and commercially available ES cells were also sorted and analyzed.

Expansion of quiescent hematopoietic stem cells in mice

Project description:Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are maintained in the quiescent state for protection from exhaustion by a number of self-renewal divisions. To understand the in vivo kinetics of quiescent HSCs, we analyzed the cell cycle of CD201+150+48-Lin-Kit+Sca-1+ cells after transplantation and during development and aging using fluorescent ubiquitination-based cell cycle indicator (Fucci) mice to distinguish HSCs at the G0, G1, and S/G2/M phases. The quiescent HSC population, representing a functional HSC pool, rapidly expanded by three weeks after transplantation and by three weeks of age in development and gradually accumulated in bone marrow with aging. Single-cell RNA-sequencing with flow cytometric index sorting suggested that high CD201 and Sca-1 expression levels and a low level of mitochondrial activity were associated with quiescent HSCs. A novel set of candidate quiescent genes in HSCs was also provided. This study implied that controlling quiescent HSCs is important for the in vivo expansion and maintenance of functional HSCs.

Bulk and single cell profiling of CD45+ LSK cells collected from WT and TET2 deficient mice under normoxia and hypoxia (physioxia) conditions (BULK RNA-SEQ)

Project description:Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) manifest impaired recovery and self-renewal with a concomitant increase in progenitor content (HPCs) when exposed to ambient air as opposed to physioxia. Mechanisms behind this distinction are poorly understood but have the potential to enhance HSC function for bone marrow transplantation. High resolution transcriptomic analysis revealed that HSCs under physioxia (HSCs- P) upregulate genes involved in self-renewal and quiescence but downregulate genes involved in apoptosis and differentiation compared to HSCs-A. Remarkably, among several genes, Tet2 was significantly downregulated in HSC-Ps compared to HSC-As, which was associated with reduced 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5-hmC) levels in HSC-Ps. Interestingly, individuals carrying the TET2 mutation in their HSCs are at a higher risk of developing clonal hematopoiesis, myeloid leukemias and cardiovascular disease. Loss of Tet2 in mice results in more HSCs and enhanced self-renewal. TET enzymes are α-ketoglutarate, iron and oxygen-dependent dioxygenases that convert 5-methylcytosine to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine thereby promoting active transcription. We evaluated whether physioxia affects the numbers and function of HSCs and HPCs from Tet2-/- mice similar to wildtype (WT) mice. In contrast to WT-HSCs, we observed complete non-responsiveness of Tet2-/- HSCs to changes in oxygen tension. Tet2-/- HSCs and HPCs exhibited similar numbers and function under physioxia and ambient air. The lack of functional responsiveness to changes in oxygen tension in Tet2-/- HSCs was associated with similar changes in genes involved in self-renewal and quiescence among WT-HSC-Ps, Tet2-/- HSC-Ps and Tet2-/- HSC-As. Our findings define a novel molecular program involving Tet2 in regulating the self-renewal of HSCs under physioxia.
