Project description:The Stem Cell Leukemia (Scl or Tal1) protein forms part of a multimeric transcription factor complex required for normal megakaryopoiesis. However, unlike other members of this complex such as Gata1, Fli1 and Runx1, mutations of Scl have not been observed as a cause of inherited thrombocytopenia. We postulated that functional redundancy with its closely related family member, Lymphoblastic Leukemia 1 (Lyl1) might explain this observation. To determine if Lyl1 can substitute for Scl in megakaryopoiesis, we examined the platelet phenotype of mice lacking one or both factors in megakaryocytes. Conditional Scl knockout mice crossed with transgenic mice expressing Cre recombinase under the control of the mouse platelet factor 4 (Pf4) promoter generated megakaryocytes with markedly reduced but not absent Scl. These Pf4SclcKO mice had mild thrombocytopenia and subtle defects in platelet aggregation. However, Pf4SclcKO mice generated on a Lyl1-null background (double knockout, DKO mice) had severe macrothrombocytopenia, abnormal megakaryocyte morphology, defective pro-platelet formation and markedly impaired platelet aggregation. DKO megakaryocytes, but not single knockouts, had reduced expression of Gata1, Fli1, Nfe2 and many other genes that cause inherited thrombocytopenia. These gene expression changes were significantly associated with shared Scl and Lyl1 E-box binding sites that were also enriched for Gata1, Ets and Runx1 motifs. Thus, Scl and Lyl1 share functional roles in platelet production and function by regulating expression of partner proteins including Gata1 and Fli1. We propose that this functional redundancy provides one explanation for the absence of Scl and Lyl1 mutations as a cause of inherited thrombocytopenia.

Project description:MicroRNAs are small non-coding RNAs that regulate cellular development by interfering with mRNA stability and translation. We defined the kinetics of global microRNA expression during the differentiation of murine hematopoietic progenitors into megakaryocytes. Of 435 miRNAs analyzed, 13 were upregulated and 81 were downregulated. Many of these changes are consistent with miRNA profiling studies of human megakaryocytes and platelets, although new patterns also emerged. Among 7 conserved miRNAs that were upregulated most strongly in megakaryocytes, 6 were also induced in the related erythroid lineage. MiR-146a was strongly upregulated during mouse and human megakaryopoiesis, but not erythropoiesis. However, overexpression of miR-146a in mouse bone marrow hematopoietic progenitor populations produced no detectable alterations in megakaryocyte development or platelet production in vivo or in colony assays. Our findings extend the repertoire of differentially regulated miRNAs during murine megakaryopoiesis and provide a useful new dataset for hematopoiesis research. In addition, we show that enforced hematopoietic expression of miR-146a has minimal effects on megakaryopoiesis. These results are compatible with prior studies indicating that miR-146a inhibits megakaryocyte production indirectly by suppressing cytokine production from innate immune cells, but cast doubt on a different study, which suggests that this miRNA inhibits megakaryopoiesis cell-autonomously. Exiqon locked nucleic acid (LNA) microarrays were used to compare microRNA expression in starting populations (ter 119- progenitors) and purified megakaryocytes. Day13.5-14.5 murine fetal livers (strain CD1) were depleted of erythroid cells and cultured with thrombopoietin to generate megakaryocytes. Each total RNA sample (0.5 μg per reaction) was labeled with Hy3 and Hy5 dyes using the Exiqon Power Labeling Kit and automated microarray hybridizations and washes were performed on a Tecan HS4800 station with 20 hr hybridization at 56ºC. Dye-swap pairs of three replicate experiments comparing Ter119- fetal liver cells vs. BSA-purified megakaryocytes were co-hybridized to six arrays. The geometric average of the 532 and 635 measurements after normalization was determined for each sample.

Project description:Embryonic stem (ES) and induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells represent a potential source of megakaryocytes and platelets for transfusion therapies. However, most current ES/iPS cell differentiation protocols are limited by low yields of hematopoietic progeny. Mutations in the mouse and human genes encoding transcription factor GATA1 cause accumulation of proliferating, developmentally arrested megakaryocytes. To exploit this clinical observation, we engineered wildtype (WT) murine ES cells to express doxycycline (dox)-regulated Gata1 short hairpin (sh) RNAs. In vitro differentiation with dox and thrombopoietin (Tpo) resulted in approximately 1013-fold expansion of immature hematopoietic progenitors. Upon dox withdrawal with multilineage cytokines, GATA1 expression was restored and the cells differentiated into erythroblasts and megakaryocytes. With Tpo alone, dox-deprived progenitors formed mainly mature megakaryocytes that generated functional platelets in vivo. Our findings provide a novel, readily reproducible strategy to expand ES-cell derived megakaryocyte-erythroid progenitors and direct their differentiation into megakaryocytes producing functional platelets in clinically relevant numbers. 3 classes of samples were compared 1) fetal liver derived megkaryocytes 2) G1ME (Gata1â megakaryocyte-erythroid) 3) G1ME2 (engineered wildtype (WT) murine ES cells to express doxycycline (dox)-regulated Gata1 short hairpin (sh) RNAs)

Project description:Megakaryopoiesis is a complex process that involves major cellular changes and relies on controlled coordination of cellular proliferation and differentiation. These mechanisms are orchestrated in part by transcriptional regulators. The key hematopoietic transcription factor SCL/TAL1 is required for specification of the megakaryocytic lineage from hematopoietic progenitors. Here, we report that it also critically controls terminal megakaryocyte maturation. In vivo depletion of SCL specifically in the megakaryocytic lineage affects all key attributes of megakaryocyte progenitors (MkPs), namely proliferation, ploidisation, cytoplasmic maturation, as well as platelet production. Genome-wide expression analysis reveals increased expression of the cell cycle regulator p21 in Scl-deleted MkPs. Importantly, P21 knockdown-mediated rescue assays in Scl-deleted MkPs show full restoration of cell cycle progression and partial rescue of the nuclear and cytoplasmic maturation defects. Therefore, SCL-mediated transcriptional control of p21 is critical for maturation of MkPs. Our study provides a mechanistic link between one of the major hematopoietic transcriptional regulators, cell cycle progression and megakaryocytic differentiation. Total RNA extracted from control TGPF4-CRE;SCL wt/wt sorted MK progenitors was compared to total RNA extracted from TGPF4-CRE;SCL fl/fl MK progenitors cells where Scl was completely excised

Project description:Dominant-negative mutations in transcription factor Growth Factor Independence-1B (GFI1B) cause a bleeding disorder characterized by a plethora of megakaryocyte and platelet abnormalities. The deregulated molecular mechanisms and pathways are unknown. Here we show that normal and mutant GFI1B interacted most strongly with the LSD1-RCOR-HDAC corepressor complex in megakaryoblasts. Sequestration of this complex by mutant GFI1B and chemical separation of GFI1B from LSD1 induced abnormalities in normal megakaryocytes comparable to those seen in patients. Megakaryocytes derived from GFI1B-mutant induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) also phenocopied abnormalities seen in patients. Proteome studies on normal and mutant iPSC-derived megakaryocytes identified a multitude of deregulated pathways downstream of mutant GFI1B. Proteome studies on primary normal and GFI1B-mutant platelets showed reduced expression of proteins implicated in platelet function, and sustained expression of proteins normally downregulated during megakaryocyte differentiation. Thus, GFI1B regulates a broad developmental program during megakaryopoiesis. Mutant GFI1B deregulates this program through LSD1-RCOR-HDAC sequestering.

Project description:During megakaryopoiesis and consecutive platelet production, megakaryocytes undergo robust cellular morphological changes which are associated with the reprogramming of signaling pathways. Moreover, it can be assumed that lipid membrane composition and signaling are strongly modified. However, the knowledge of lipid alteration during megakaryopoiesis and which pathways are involved is still lacking. Here, we use a lipid-centric multiomics approach to create a quantitative map of the megakaryocyte lipidome during maturation and proplatelet formation. Our data reveal that megakaryocyte differentiation is driven by an increased fatty acyl import and de novo lipid synthesis, resulting in the modulation towards an anionic membrane phenotype. This phenotype and the upregulation of diacylglycerols highly correlate with the activation of lipid-dependent kinases such as PKC and BTK. Using inhibitors of fatty acid import and phospholipid synthesis proved to block membrane remodeling and kinase activation and directly reduced proplatelet formation. Altogether, this study provides a framework for understanding how membrane lipid remodeling during megakaryocyte differentiation impacts kinase signaling and proplatelet formation while providing a knowledge base to exploit megakaryopoiesis.

Project description:Srf is a MADS-box transcription factor that is critical for muscle differentiation. Its function in hematopoiesis has not yet been revealed. Mkl1, a cofactor of Srf, is part of the t(1;22) translocation in acute megakaryoblastic leukemia, and plays a critical role in megakaryopoiesis. In order to test the role of Srf in megakaryocyte development, we crossed Pf4-Cre mice, which express Cre recombinase in cells committed to the megakaryocytic lineage, to SrfF/F mice in which functional Srf is no longer expressed after Cre-mediated excision. Pf4-Cre/SrfF/F (KO) mice are born with normal mendelian frequency, but have significant macrothrombocytopenia with approximately 50% reduction in platelet count. In contrast, the BM has increased numbers and percentages of CD41+ megakaryocytes (WT: 0.41+/-0.06%; KO: 1.92+/-0.12%) with significantly reduced ploidy. KO mice show significantly increased megakaryocyte progenitors in the BM by both FACS analysis and CFU-Mk. Megakaryocytes lacking Srf have abnormal stress fiber and demarcation membrane formation and platelets lacking Srf have abnormal actin distribution. In vitro and in vivo assays reveal platelet function defects in KO mice. Critical actin cytoskeletal genes are downregulated in KO megakaryocytes. Thus, Srf is required for normal megakaryocyte maturation and platelet production, due at least in part, to regulation of cytoskeletal genes. C-kit+CD41+ megakaryocyte progenitors from PF4-Cre/SRF C57BL/6 SRF WT (3) and C57BL/6 SRF KO (3) mice were sorted by flow cytometry and cultured for three days in thrombopoietin.

Project description:The transcription factor Growth Factor Independence 1B (GFI1B) recruits Lysine Specific Demethylase 1A (LSD1/KDM1A) to stimulate gene programs relevant for megakaryocyte and platelet biology. Inherited pathogenic GFI1B variants result in thrombocytopenia and bleeding propensities with varying intensity. Whether these affect similar gene programs is unknow. Here we studied transcriptomic effects of four patient-derived GFI1B variants (GFI1BT174N,H181Y,R184P,Q287*) in MEG01 megakaryoblasts. Compared to normal GFI1B, each variant affected different gene programs with GFI1BQ287* uniquely failing to repress myeloid traits. In line with this, single cell RNA-sequencing of induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived megakaryocytes revealed a 4.5-fold decrease in the megakaryocyte/myeloid cell ratio in GFI1BQ287* versus normal conditions. Inhibiting the GFI1B-LSD1 interaction with small molecule GSK-LSD1 resulted in activation of myeloid genes in normal iPSC-derived megakaryocytes similar as observed for GFI1BQ287* iPSC-derived megakaryocytes. Thus, GFI1B and LSD1 facilitate gene programs relevant for megakaryopoiesis while simultaneously repressing programs that induce myeloid differentiation.
