Cooperative Transcription Factor Induction Mediates Hemogenic Reprogramming

ABSTRACT: During development, hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) arise from specialized endothelial cells by a process termed endothelial-to-hematopoietic transition (EHT). The genetic program driving human HSPC emergence remains largely unknown. We previously reported that the generation of hemogenic precursor cells from mouse fibroblasts recapitulates developmental hematopoiesis. Here, we demonstrate that human fibroblasts can be reprogrammed into hemogenic cells by the same transcription factors. Induced cells display dynamic EHT transcriptional programs, generate hematopoietic progeny, possess HSPC cell surface phenotype and repopulate immunodeficient mice for three months. Mechanistically, GATA2 and GFI1B interact and co-occupy a cohort of targets. This cooperative binding is reflected by engagement of open enhancers and promoters, initiating silencing of fibroblast genes and activating the hemogenic program. However, GATA2 displays dominant and independent targeting activity during the early phases of reprogramming. These findings shed light on the processes controlling human HSC specification and support generation of reprogrammed HSCs for clinical applications.

Whole-transcriptome analysis of endothelial-to-hematopoietic stem cell transition

Project description:Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are generated via a natural transdifferentiation process known as endothelial-to-hematopoietic cell transition (EHT). Due to small numbers of embryonal arterial cells undergoing EHT and the paucity of markers to enrich for hemogenic endothelial cells, the genetic program driving HSC emergence is largely unknown. Here, we use a highly sensitive RNAseq method to examine the whole transcriptome of small numbers of enriched aortic HSCs (CD31+cKit+Ly6aGFP+), hemogenic endothelial cells (CD31+cKit-Ly6aGFP+) and endothelial cells (CD31+cKit-Ly6aGFP-). Comparison of mRNA profiles of endothelial cells, hemogenic endothelial cells, and hematopoietic stem cells generated by deep-sequencing of sorted populations from pool of embryos, in triplicate.

Meis1 establishes the pre-hemogenic endothelial state prior to Runx1 expression

Project description:Hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) originate from an endothelial-to-hematopoietic transition (EHT) during embryogenesis. Characterization of early hemogenic endothelial (HE) cells is required to understand what drives hemogenic specification and to accurately define cells capable of undergoing EHT. Using Cellular Indexing of Transcriptomes and Epitopes by Sequencing (CITE-seq), we defined the early subpopulation of pre-HE cells based on both surface markers and transcriptomes. We identified the transcription factor Meis1 as an essential regulator of hemogenic cell specification in the embryo prior to Runx1 expression. Meis1 is expressed at the earliest stages of EHT and distinguishes pre-HE cells primed towards the hemogenic trajectory from the arterial endothelial cells that continue towards a vascular fate. Endothelial-specific deletion of Meis1 impaired the formation of functional Runx1-expressing HE which significantly impeded the emergence of pre-HSPC via EHT. Our findings implicate Meis1 in a critical fate-determining step for establishing EHT potential in endothelial cells.

N-Glycome regulation limits the transdifferentiation of endothelial cells into hematopoietic stem cells

Project description:Hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) are required to establish and maintain the adult blood system in vertebrates. During development, HPSCs are generated from hemogenic endothelial cells that undergo an endothelial-to-hematopoietic transition (EHT). Growth factors and epigenetic changes can promote EHT, but these mechanisms do not explain its tight spatiotemporal regulation during development. Here, we show that microRNA (miR) miR-223-mediated regulation of N-glycan biosynthesis intrinsically restrains EHT, representing a new pathway that prevents excessive HSPC production. We find that miR-223 is uniquely expressed in hemogenic endothelial cells undergoing EHT and in nascent HSPCs. Loss of miR-223 promotes the expansion of these cells in the zebrafish and mouse aorta-gonad-mesonephros (AGM), where EHT occurs. miR-223 targets alg2 (alpha 1,3/ 1,6 mannosyltransferase) in the AGM endothelium to restrict hemogenic and HSPC specification. This enzyme is involved in the attachment of the N-glycans, a common co-translational modification9-12 that influences several pathophysiological processes, but has not yet been implicated in EHT. Using an N-glycosensor, we demonstrate that abundant protein N-glycan attachment occurs in vascular cells during EHT, and this process is required for HSPC production. High-throughput glycome analysis upon loss of miR-223 revealed that terminal alpha 1,3/6 mannose modifications are increased at the expense of alpha 2,3/6 sialic acid sugars. Importantly, pharmacological manipulation targeting these N-glycan types in wild-type embryos phenocopies the loss of miR-223 and enhances EHT as well as HSPC production. Thus, the N-glycome plays a previously unappreciated role as an intrinsic regulator of EHT, with specific mannose and sialic acid modifications serving as key endothelial determinants to restrict the hematopoietic fate.

GATA2 knockout study to investigated the role of GATA2 in human hematopoiesis

Project description:We generated homozygous GATA2 knockout human embryonic stem cells (GATA2-/- hESCs) and analyzed their blood differentiation potential. Paritcularly at the hemogenic endothelium (HE) stage and hematopoietic progenitor cell (HPC) stage. Our result revealed that GATA2-/- hESCs displayed attenuated generation of CD34+CD43+ HPCs, due to the impairment of endothelial to hematopoietic transition (EHT). However, GATA2-/- hESCs retained the potential to generate erythroblasts, macrophages, but never granulocytes. Through RNA-Seq and further rescue experiment, we further identified that SPI1 was responsible for the defect of GATA2-/- hESCs in generation of CD34+CD43+ HPCs and granulocytes.

GATA2 is Dispensable for Generation of Hemogenic Endothelium But Required for Endothelial-to-Hematopoietic Transition

Project description:Using loss-of- and restoration-of-function approaches, we found that GATA2 function is mainly focused on enthothelial-to-hematopoietic transition (EHT) other than formation of hemogenic endothelial cells (HECs) in hematopoietic development of human ESCs. In addition, our study found that small portion of hematopoietic progenitors (HPs) can be generated even in the absence of GATA, which was proved to have similar character to that of GATA2-independent HPs lacking CFU-G and CFU-GM potential but retaining lymphoid potential.

Developmental regulation of endothelial-to-hematopoietic transition from iPSCs [10X 3' sc-RNA-seq]

Project description:Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) arise in mid-gestation from a specialized hemogenic endothelium (HE). In this process, HE cells undergo a unique fate change termed endothelial-to-hematopoietic transition, or EHT. While induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) give rise to HE with robust hemogenic potential, the generation of bona fide HSCs from iPSCs remains a challenge. Here, we map single cell dynamics of EHT during embryoid body differentiation from iPSCs and integrate it with human embryo datasets to identify key transcriptional differences between in vitro and in vivo cell states. We further map ligand-receptor interactions associated with differential expression of developmental programs in the iPSC system. We found that the expression of endothelial genes was incompletely repressed during iPSC EHT. Elevated FGF signaling by FGF23, an endothelial pathway ligand, was associated with differential gene expression between in vitro and in vivo EHT. Chemical inhibition of FGF signaling during EHT increased HSPC generation in the zebrafish system, while an FGF agonist had the opposite effect. Consistently, chemical inhibition of FGF signaling increased hemogenic output from iPSCs. In summary, we map the dynamics of EHT from iPSCs at single cell resolution and identify ligand-receptor interactions that can be modulated to improve iPSC differentiation protocols. We show, as proof of principle, that chemical inhibition of FGF signaling during EHT improves hematopoietic output in zebrafish and the iPSC system.
