ABSTRACT: The capacity of the hematopoietic system to promptly respond to peripheral demands relies on adequate pools of progenitors able to transiently proliferate and differentiate in a regulated manner. However, little is known about factors that may restrain progenitor maturation to maintain their reservoirs. In addition to a profound defect in hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) self-renewal, conditional knockout mice for the Pbx1 proto-oncogene have a significant reduction in lineage-restricted progenitors, including common myeloid progenitors (CMPs) and, to a lesser extent, granulocyte-monocyte progenitors (GMPs). Through analysis of purified progenitor proliferation, differentiation capacity and transcriptional profiling, we demonstrate that in the absence of Pbx1 the CMP pool is reduced due to aberrantly rapid myeloid maturation, associated with decreased expression of Meis1 and its targets including Flt3.

Project description:High levels of Hes1 expression are frequently found in BCR-ABL-positive chronic myelogenous leukemia in blast crisis (CML-BC). In mouse bone marrow transplantation (BMT) models, co-expression of BCR-ABL and Hes1 induces CML-BC–like disease; however the underlying mechanism remained elusive. Here, based on gene expression analysis, we show that MMP-9 is upregulated by Hes1 in common myeloid progenitors (CMPs). Analysis of promoter activity demonstrated that Hes1 upregulated MMP-9 by activating NF-kB. Analysis of 20 samples from CML-BC patients showed that MMP-9 was highly expressed in three, with two exhibiting high levels of Hes1 expression. Interestingly, MMP-9 deficiency impaired the cobblestone area-forming ability of CMPs expressing BCR-ABL and Hes1 that were in conjunction with a stromal cell layer. In addition, these CMPs secreted MMP-9, promoting the release of soluble Kit-ligand (sKitL) from stromal cells, thereby enhancing proliferation of the leukemic cells. In accordance, mice transplanted with CMPs expressing BCR-ABL and Hes1 exhibited high levels of sKitL as well as MMP-9 in the serum. Importantly, MMP-9 deficiency impaired the development of CML-BC–like disease induced by BCR-ABL and Hes1 in mouse BMT models. The present results suggest that Hes1 promotes the development of CML-BC, partly through MMP-9 upregulation in leukemic cells. Common myeloid progenitors (CMPs; Lineage negative, c-Kit positive, Sca-1 negative, Fc-gamma-receptor low, CD34 positive fraction) were sorted with a FACSAria cell sorter (Becton Dickinson). Retroviruses were generated by transfecting Plat-E packaging cells with retrovirus vector pMYs-Hes1-IRES-GFP or empty vector (pMYs-IRES-GFP) using FuGENE 6 (Roche Diagnostics). Infection of retrovirus harboring Hes1 (pMYs-Hes1-IRES-GFP) or empty vector (pMYs-IRES-GFP) into progenitors was performed using RetroNectin (Takara Bio). Hes1-transfected CMPs and Mock-transduced CMPs were isolated 36 hours after infection with a FACSAria cell sorter. One sample of Hes1-transfected CMPs and one sample of mock-transduced CMPs were analyzed with GeneChip Mouse Genome 430 2.0 Array.
