HLA-DR is absent in primitive macrophages through epigenetic silencing of master regulator CIITA

ABSTRACT: The earliest macrophages are generated during embryonic development from erythro-myeloid progenitors (EMPs) via primitive haematopoiesis. This process is poorly understood in humans and in the mouse is thought to be spatially restricted to the yolk sac. Human fetal placental macrophages, Hofbauer cells (HBC), arise during the primitive haematopoietic wave at ~18 days post conception. Here we identify a population of placental erythro-myeloid progenitors (PEMPs) in the early human placenta that give rise to HBC. PEMP are fetal CD34+CD43+ progenitors found exclusively at early gestational timepoints. Transcriptomic analyses reveal that PEMP have conserved features of primitive yolk sac EMPs, including the lack of HLF expression. Using in vitro single-cell culture experiments we show that PEMP generate HBC-like cells that completely lack HLA-DR expression and demonstrate that this is a conserved feature of all macrophages generated by primitive haematopoiesis in humans. Finally, we demonstrate that the class II transactivator, CTIIA, the master regulator HLA-DR expression, is epigenetically silenced during primitive haematopoiesis, leading to HLA-DRneg macrophages. These findings demonstrate that HBC are derived locally from PEMP and establish the human placenta as an additional site of primitive haematopoiesis.

The role of the yolk sac in human fetal development and identification of a hepatocyte-like cell in the human yolk sac (SS2)

Project description:The human yolk sac (YS) is an extra-embryonic tissue critical for early prenatal life development. It is the first site of haematopoiesis where progenitors differentiate from endoderm within blood islands of the yolk sac contributing initially to primitive erythropoiesis and in subsequent waves to erythro-myeloid and lymphoid differentiation.

Erythro-myeloid progenitors contribute endothelial cells to developing blood vessels

Project description:The earliest blood vessels in the mammalian embryo are formed when endothelial cells (ECs) differentiate from angioblasts and coalesce into tubular networks. Thereafter, the en-dothelium is thought to expand solely by proliferation of pre-existing ECs. Here we show that the earliest precursors of erythrocytes, megakaryocytes and macrophages, the yolk sac-derived erythro-myeloid progenitors (EMPs), provide a complementary source of ECs that are recruited into pre-existing vasculature. Whereas a first wave of yolk sac-resident EMPs contributes ECs to the yolk sac endothelium, a second wave of EMPs colonises the embryo and contributes ECs to intraembryonic endothelium in multiple organs, where they persist into adulthood. By demonstrating that EMPs constitute a hitherto unrecognised source of ECs, we reveal that embryonic blood vascular endothelium expands in a dual mechanism that involves both the proliferation of pre-existing ECs and the incorporation of ECs derived from hematopoietic precursors.

RNA-seq analysis of gene expression in macrophages progenitors from the yolk sac of murine embryos at embryonic days 9 and 10, and the modifications resulting from a defective expression of the transcription factor Lyl-1

Project description:Most resident macrophages (MF) populations in adult tissues arise from MF progenitors populations that emerge during ontogeny, either from haematopoietic stem cells (HSC), or from Yolk Sac (YS) progenitors produced prior to HSC development. The YS generates two populations of MF progenitors. In the earliest one, called primitive, MF progenitors arise from monopotent/uni-lineage progenitors, while in the second one they derive from multipotent erythro-myeloid progenitors. These two populations soon mix in the blood circulation, and as they are highly similar in phenotype, the specific features and function of the two MF progenitors populations are still unclear. When investigating the function of the bHLH transcription factor Lyl-1 during the development of blood cells in mouse embryos, we observed that Lyl-1 expression marks YS primitive MF progenitors. Lyl-1 bHLH disruption leads to an increased production and a defective differentiation of primitive MF progenitors. To gain a better insight into primitive MF progenitors specificity and function, we performed a RNA-seq analysis of these progenitors sorted from the YS at embryonic day (E) 9, when the YS only contains primitive MF progenitors, and at E10, when it contains both primitive MF progenitors and those produced by erythro-myeloid progenitors. At both stages, MF progenitors were collected from the YS of either wild-type or Lyl-1-deficient embryos, to better understand the role of Lyl-1 in the development of Lyl-1-expressing resident macrophage populations.

Ezh2 is essential for the generation of functional yolk sac derived erythro-myeloid progenitor [CUT&RUN]

Project description:Yolk sac (YS) hematopoiesis is critical for the survival of the embryo and a major source of tissue-resident macrophages that persist into adulthood. Here we report that the epigenetic regulator Ezh2 is essential for YS hematopoiesis but dispensable for subsequent aorta–gonad–mesonephros (AGM) blood development. Loss of Ezh2 activity in hemogenic endothelium (HE) leads to the generation of phenotypically intact but functionally deficient erythro-myeloid progenitors (EMP). Ezh2 activity is critical at the onset of the endothelial-to-hematopoietic transition generating EMPs but rapidly dispensable after that. We identified a lack of downregulation of Wnt signaling as the primary reason in the generation of non-functional EMPs. Together, our findings demonstrate a critical and specific role of Ezh2 in modulating Wnt signaling during the generation of EMPs from YS HE.

Human yolk sac-like haematopoiesis generates RUNX1-, GFI1- and/or GFI1B-dependent blood and SOX17-positive endothelium

Project description:The genetic regulatory network controlling early fate choices during human blood cell development are not well understood. We use human pluripotent stem cell reporter lines to track the development of endothelial and haematopoietic populations in an in vitro model of human yolk-sac development. We identified SOX17-CD34+CD43- endothelial cells at day 2 of blast colony development, as a haemangioblast-like branch point from which SOX17-CD34+CD43+ blood cells and SOX17+CD34+CD43- endothelium subsequently arose. Most human blood cell development was dependent on RUNX1. Deletion of RUNX1 only permitted a single wave of yolk sac-like primitive erythropoiesis, but no yolk sac myelopoiesis or aorta-gonad-mesonephros (AGM)-like haematopoiesis. Blocking GFI1/1B activity with a small molecule inhibitor abrogated all blood cell development, even in cell lines with an intact RUNX1 gene. Together, our data defines the hierarchical requirements for both RUNX1 and GFI1/1B during early human haematopoiesis arising from a yolk sac-like SOX17- haemogenic endothelial intermediate.
