Effect of the Regnase-1/3-Nfkbiz axis on the epigenomic profile in mouse Flt3–CD48–Lin–Sca1+Kit+ (LSK) cells

ABSTRACT: Regulation of lineage biases in hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) is pivotal for balanced hematopoietic output. However, little is known about the mechanism behind lineage choice in HSPCs. Here, we show that mRNA decay factors Regnase-1 (Zc3h12a) and Regnase-3 (Zc3h12c) are critical for induction of myeloid lineage priming, restricting lymphoid differentiation in HSPCs. Regnase-1- and Regnase-3-mediated control of mRNA encoding Nfkbiz, a transcriptional and epigenetic regulator, was essential for balancing lymphoid/myeloid lineage output in HSPCs in vivo. Furthermore, single cell-assay for transposase-accessible chromatin sequencing (scATAC-seq) analysis revealed that Regnase-1 and Regnase-3 control the epigenetic landscape on myeloid-related gene loci in hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) via Nfkbiz. Consistently, an antisense oligonucleotide designed to inhibit Regnase-1- and Regnase-3-mediated Nfkbiz mRNA degradation primed HSCs toward myeloid lineages by enhancing Nfkbiz expression. Collectively, the collaboration between post-transcriptional control and chromatin remodeling by the Regnase-1/Regnase-3-Nfkbiz axis governs lineage priming, instructing HSC lineage specification.

Project description:Background and Purpose: Constitutional GATA2 deficiency caused by heterozygous germline GATA2 mutation has a broad spectrum of clinical phenotypes including systemic infections, lymphedema, cytopenias, MDS and AML. A comprehensive profiling of transcriptome of hematopoiesis in GATA2 deficiency is currently lacking. Methods: We performed single-cell RNA sequencing of sorted bone marrow CD34+ hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) from eight GATA2 deficiency patients, who had various well characterized GATA2 mutations and clinically manifest myelodysplasia. We characterized transcriptomes in lineages, computationally defined cells with chromosomal abnormalities, and described gene expression of these cells. Results: Mapping patients’ cells onto normal hematopoiesis, we observed preferred deficiency in lymphoid and myeloid progenitors, which also was evidenced in loss of heterogeneity in gene correlations. HSPCs in patients exhibited distinct gene expression pattern and gene coexpression pattern compared with its counterparts in healthy donors. Distinct lineages show different transcriptional profiles resulting from GATA2 mutations. HSCs in patients exhibited dysregulated genes in apoptosis, cell cycle and quiescence, and had increased expression of erythroid/megakaryocytic priming programs and decreased lymphoid priming programs. Thus, the prominent deficiency in myeloid/lymphoid lineages in GATA2 deficiency was partly due to expression of aberrant gene programs in HSCs prior to lineage commitment. We computationally defined cells with chromosomal abnormalities and described gene expression of these cells. DNA repair genes were downregulated in trisomy 8 cells, possibly rendering these cells vulnerable to second-hit somatic mutations and additional chromosomal abnormalities. Cells with complex cytogenetics had defects in multi-lineage differentiation and cell cycle. Conclusion: Germline GATA2 mutations modulate gene expression and change gene coexpression patterns. Distinct lineages show different transcriptional profiles resulting from GATA2 mutations. The prominent deficiency in myeloid/lymphoid lineages in GATA2 deficiency was partly due to expression of aberrant gene programs in HSCs prior to lineage commitment.
