MYCT1 Controls Environmental Sensing in human Hematopoietic Stem Cells [scRNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: We identified a novel HSC regulatory gene, MYCT1 (MYC target 1), that is selectively expressed in undifferentiated human HSPC and is critical for human HSC expansion and engraftment. MYCT1 knockdown (KD) in human fetal liver and cord blood (CB) HSPCs impaired expansion ex vivo and engraftment after transplantation, whereas restoring the compromised MYCT1 expression via lentiviral overexpression (OE) in cultured human CB HSPCs improved ex vivo expansion of the most undifferentiated human HSPCs (CD34+CD38-CD90+CD45RA-EPCR+ITGA3+) and enhanced their engraftment ability. We performed single cell RNAseq of uncultured human CB HSPCs, as well as 72 hours after MYCT1 KD and OE to identify MYCT1-regulated programs in HSC and understand the role of MYCT1 in governing human HSPC expansion and engraftment ability. Functional enrichment analysis linked the loss of MYCT1 in HLF+ HSCs to a profound dysregulation of multiple cellular programs essential for HSC stemness, such as oxidative phosphorylation or proteostasis, while MYCT1 OE had the opposite effect and showed closer similarity to uncultured HLF+ HSCs. These data indicate that the loss or gain of MYCT1 expression elicits major effects on programs regulating human HSC functional competence.

Therefore, we performed scRNAseq of cultured HSPCs (CD34+CD38-CD90+EPCR+) with low, medium or high levels of endocytosis and found that low endocytosis HSCs had higher MYCT1 expression and favorable transcriptomic profiles of HSC functional competence.

MYCT1 CONTROLS ENVIRONMENTAL SENSING IN HUMAN HEMATOPOIETIC STEM CELLS

Project description:Hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) rely on a unique regulatory machinery that facilitates life-long blood production and enables reconstitution of the entire hematopoietic system upon transplantation. However, the biological processes governing human HSC self-renewal and engraftment ability are poorly understood and challenging to recapitulate ex vivo to facilitate robust human HSC expansion. We discovered a novel HSC regulatory protein, MYCT1 (MYCT target 1), that is selectively expressed in endothelial cells (EC) and undifferentiated human HSPCs but becomes drastically downregulated during HSC culture. Lentiviral knockdown of MYCT1 in human foetal liver and cord blood HSPCs revealed a critical role for MYCT1 in governing human HSPC expansion and engraftment ability. Single cell RNAseq of human CB HSPCs after MYCT1 knockdown and overexpression revealed that MYCT1 governs HSC functional competence and modulates cellular properties essential for HSC stemness, such as low mitochondrial metabolic activity. Indeed, restoring the compromised MYCT1 expression in cultured human CB HSPCs improved ex vivo expansion of the most undifferentiated human HSPCs and enhanced their engraftment ability. We found that MYCT1 is localized in the endosomal membrane and interacts with vesicle trafficking regulators and signalling machinery essential for HSC and EC function. Loss of MYCT1 led to excessive endocytosis and hyperactive signalling responses to cytokines, whereas restoring MYCT1 expression in cultured CB HSPCs balanced the abnormal endocytosis associated with prolonged culture and fine-tuned signalling responses. Our work identifies MYCT1-moderated endocytosis and environmental sensing as an essential regulatory mechanism required to preserve human HSC stemness, and pinpoints silencing of MYCT1 as a critical contributor to the dysfunction of cultured human HSCs that needs to be addressed to improve human HSC culture strategies.

MYCT1 Controls Environmental Sensing in human Hematopoietic Stem Cells [RNA-seq]

Project description:We identified a novel HSC (hematopoietic stem cell) regulatory gene, MYCT1 (MYC target 1), that is selectively expressed in undifferentiated human HSPC and is critical for human HSC expansion and engraftment. To define the molecular function of MYCT1 we performed cell fractionation, immunofluorescence, and immunoprecipitation coupled with high sensitivity mass spectrometry of V5-tagged MYCT1 in KG1 hematopoietic cells and human endothelial cells (E4-immortalized HUVEC, E4EC (Butler et al. 2012)). We found that MYCT1 localizes in the endosomal membrane and interacts with vesicle trafficking regulators and signalling machinery essential for HSC and endothelial cell function. We performed RNAseq to asses the expression of the identified MYCT1 interactors in KG1 and E4EC cell lines.

Human hematopoietic stem cell expansion through modulation of lineage-associated gene expression programs

Project description:Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) must balance self-renewal and lineage differentiation to regenerate the hematopoietic system throughout life. HSCs exhibit lineage-associated gene expression that keeps them responsive to demands of mature blood production. However, it is not known whether this process, termed lineage priming, directly influences HSC self-renewal. We investigated the link between stemness and lineage priming by attenuating the early lymphoid transcription factor E47 through ID2 over-expression (OE). Transcriptional profiling of ID2 OE HSCs showed down regulation of B-cell factors including EBF1 and FOXO1 with a concomitant increase in stemness programs and myeloerythroid factors including CEBPA and GATA1. This resulted in myeloid commitment bias from the earliest stages of differentiation. HSC self-renewal was strongly affected by this lineage perturbation resulting in an 11-fold expansion of HSCs. Thus, early lymphoid transcription factors antagonize human HSC self-renewal, providing a direct link between differentiation program priming and the maintenance of stem cell self-renewal. Three independent lineage depleted CB samples were transduced with P-CTRL or P-ID2 and injected into 5 mice (30 mice total). From every group of 5 mice, human lin- cells were isolated and GFP+CD34+CD38-CD45RA- HSPCs were sorted by FACS.

Targeting JNK Pathway Expands Human Hematopoietic Stem Cells

Project description:The limited number of human hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) has restrained their widespread clinical application. Despite great efforts in recent years, the in vitro expansion of HSCs remains a challenge due to incomplete understanding of the signaling networks underlying HSC self-renewal. Here we show that culturing human cord blood (CB) CD34+ cells with JNK-IN-8, an inhibitor of the JNK signaling pathway, can enhance the self-renewal of HSCs with a 6-fold increase in number. These expanded CD34+ cells repopulated recipient mice for 20 weeks and can form secondary engraftment that lasted for more than 21 weeks. Knockdown of c-Jun, a major downstream target in the JNK pathway, significantly promoted the expansion of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs). Our findings demonstrate a critical role of JNK pathway in regulating HSC expansion, provide new insights into HSC self-renewal mechanism, and may lead to improved clinical application of HSCs.

PRC2 inhibition counteracts the culture-associated loss of engraftment potential of human cord blood-derived hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells

Project description:Cord blood hematopoietic stem cells (CB-HSCs) are an outstanding source for transplantation approaches. However, the amount of cells per donor is limited and culture expansion of CB-HSCs is accompanied by a loss of engraftment potential. In order to analyze the molecular mechanisms leading to this impaired potential we profiled global and local epigenotypes during the expansion of human CB hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HPSCs). Human CB-derived CD34+ cells were cultured in serum-free medium together with SCF, TPO, FGF, with or without Igfbp2 and Angptl5 (STF/STFIA cocktails). As compared to the STF cocktail, the STFIA cocktail maintains in vivo repopulation capacity of cultured CD34+ cells. Upon expansion, CD34+ cells genome-wide remodel their epigenotype and depending on the cytokine cocktail, cells show different H3K4me3 and H3K27me3 levels. Expanding cells without Igfbp2 and Angptl5 leads to higher global H3K27me3 levels. ChIPseq analyses reveal a cytokine cocktail-dependent redistribution of H3K27me3 profiles. Inhibition of the PRC2 component EZH2 counteracts the culture-associated loss of NOD scid gamma (NSG) engraftment potential. Collectively, our data reveal chromatin dynamics that underlie the culture-associated loss of engraftment potential. We identify PRC2 component EZH2 as being involved in the loss of engraftment potential during the in vitro expansion of HPSCs. 6 samples were hybridized GeneChip Human Gene 1.0 ST Arrays (Affymetrix)

Gene expression analysis of human fetal liver hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPC) in culture

Project description:One of the long-standing goals in the field has been to establish a culture system that would allow maintenance of HSC properties ex vivo. In the absence of such system, the ability to model human hematopoiesis in vitro has been limited, and there has been little progress in the expansion of human HSCs for clinical application. To that end, we defined a mesenchyml stem cell co-culture system for expansion of clonally multipotent human HSPCs that are protected from apoptosis and immediate differentiation, and retain the HSPC phenotype. By performing a genome-wide gene expression analysis of purified HSPCs isolated at different stages of co-culture, we asked at the molecular level, to what degree hematopetic stem cell properties can be preserved during culture. This temporal gene expression data from in vivo derived- and ex vivo expanded human HSPCs will serve as a resource to identify novel regulatory pathways that control HSC properties, and to develop clinically applicable protocols for HSC expansion. Human CD34+ fetal liver cells were co-cultured on a subclone of OP9 stomal cells (OP9M2 sublemented with supportive cytokines (see below)). To distinguish between molecular changes acquired over prolonged culture versus immediately after exposure to culture, gene expression in isolated CD45+CD34+CD38-CD90+ HSPCs was assessed after 12 hours, 2 weeks and 5 weeks in culture. Cultured CD45+CD34+CD38-CD90+HSPCs were compared to freshly isolated CD45+CD34+CD38-CD90+HSPCs and their more differentiated CD45+CD34+CD38+CD90- downstream progenitor cells.

Mesenchymal stromal cells improve the transplantation outcome of CRISPR-Cas9 gene-edited human HSPCs (BAR-Seq)

Project description:Mesenchymal Stromal Cells (MSCs) have been employed in vitro to support HSPC expansion and in vivo to promote Hematopoietic Stem and Progenitor Cells (HSPCs) engraftment. Based on these studies, we developed an MSC-based co-culture system to optimize transplantation outcome of CRISPR-Cas9 gene-edited (GE) human HSPCs. We show that bone marrow (BM)-MSCs produce several hematopoietic supportive and anti-inflammatory factors capable to alleviate the proliferation arrest and mitigate the apoptotic and inflammatory programs activated in GE-HSPCs, improving their expansion and clonogenic potential in vitro. The use of BM-MSCs resulted in superior human engraftment and increased clonal output of GE-HSPCs contributing to the early phase of hematological reconstitution in the peripheral blood of transplanted mice. In conclusion, our work poses the biological bases for a novel clinical use of BM-MSCs to promote engraftment of GE-HSPCs and improve their transplantation outcome.
