Project description:Combinatorial actions of relatively few transcription factors control hematopoietic differentiation. To investigate this process in erythro-megakaryopoiesis, we correlated the genome-wide chromatin occupancy signatures of four master hematopoietic transcription factors (GATA1, GATA2, SCL/TAL1 and FLI1) and three diagnostic histone modification marks with the gene expression changes that occur during development of primary megakaryocytes (MEG) and erythroblasts (ERY) from murine fetal liver hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells. We identified a robust, genome-wide mechanism of MEG-specific lineage priming by a previously described stem/progenitor cell-expressed transcription factor heptad (GATA2, LYL1, SCL/TAL1, FLI1, ERG, RUNX1, LMO2) binding to MEG-specific cis-regulatory modules in multipotential hematopoietic progenitors. This is followed by genome-wide GATA factor switching that mediates further induction of MEG-specific genes following lineage commitment. Interaction between GATA and ETS factors appears to be a key determinant of these processes. In contrast, ERY-specific lineage priming occurs is biased toward GATA2-independent mechanisms. In addition to its role in MEG lineage priming, GATA2 plays an extensive role in late megakaryopoiesis as a transcriptional repressor at loci defined by a specific DNA signature. Our findings reveal important new insights into how ERY and MEG lineages arise from a common bipotential precursor via overlapping and divergent functions of shared hematopoietic transcription factors.

Project description:Transcription factors play critical roles in stem cell maintenance and differentiation. Using single cell RNA sequencing, we investigated transcription factors expressed in endothelial progenitors differentiated from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) and identified upregulated differential expression of SOXF subgroup members SOX7, SOX17, and SOX18. To test whether overexpression of these factors increases differentiation efficiency, we established inducible hPSC lines and found only SOX17 improved differentiation of CD34+VEC+ cells. Temporal expression analysis of SOX17 and VEC revealed that SOX17 was turned on immediately before VEC, indicating SOX17 may be a causative factor in determining hemogenic endothelial differentiation. Upon Cas13d mediated repression of SOX17, differentiation was significantly abrogated. We found SOX17 forward programming is sufficient to generate more than 50% CD34+VEC+CD73- cells. Further differentiation of SOX17 forward programmed cells generated hematopoietic progenitors that emerged via an endothelial to hematopoietic transition and significantly upregulated definitive hematopoietic transcriptional programs. Our analyses reveal an uncharacterized function of SOX17 in directing hPSCs differentiation towards hematopoietic lineages.

Project description:Definitive hematopoiesis emerges during embryogenesis via an endothelial-to-hematopoietic transition. We attempted to induce this process in mouse fibroblasts by screening a panel of factors for hemogenic activity. We identified a combination of four transcription factors, Gata2, Gfi1b, cFos, and Etv6 that efficiently induces endothelial-like precursor cells with the subsequent appearance of hematopoietic cells. The precursor cells express a human CD34 reporter, Sca1 and Prominin1 within a global endothelial transcription program. Emergent hematopoietic cells possess nascent/specifying hematopoietic stem cell gene expression profiles and cell surface phenotypes. After transgene silencing and reaggregation culture, the specified cells generate hematopoietic colonies in vitro. Thus, we have shown that a simple combination of transcription factors is sufficient to induce a complex, dynamic and multi-step developmental program in vitro. These findings provide insights into the specification of definitive hemogenesis and a platform for future development of patient-specific stem/progenitor cells as well as more differentiated blood products. mRNA-seq profiling on populations generated after transduction with Gata2, Gfi1b, cFos and Etv6 at day 20 and day 35.

Project description:Cell fate is established through coordinated gene expression programs in individual cells. Regulatory networks that include the Gata2 transcription factor play central roles in hematopoietic fate establishment. Whereas Gata2 is essential to the embryonic development and function of hematopoietic stem cells that form the adult hierarchy, little is known of the in vivo expression dynamics of Gata2 in single cells. Here we examine Gata2 expression in single aortic cells as they establish hematopoietic fate in Gata2Venus mouse embryos. Time-lapse imaging reveals rapid pulsatile level changes in Gata2 reporter expression in cells undergoing endothelial-to-hematopoietic-transition. Moreover, Gata2 reporter pulsatile expression is dramatically altered in Gata2+/- aortic cells, which undergo fewer transitions and are reduced in hematopoietic potential. Our novel finding of dynamic pulsatile expression of Gata2 suggests a highly unstable genetic state in single cells concomitant with their transition to hematopoietic fate. This reinforces the notion that threshold levels of Gata2 influence fate establishment and has implications for transcription factor-related hematologic dysfunctions.

Project description:The transcription factor GATA2 plays a major role in the generation and maintenance of the hematopoietic system. In humans, heterozygous germline mutations in GATA2 often lead to a loss of function of one allele, causing GATA2 haploinsufficiency. In mice, Gata2 has an essential regulatory function in hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) generation and maintenance. However, whereas Gata2-null mice are lethal at embryonic day (E) 10.53, Gata2 heterozygous (Gata2+/-) mice survive to adulthood with normal blood values. However, mouse models thus emerged as a useful source to identify the function of GATA2 in HSC generation and fitness, they leave the mechanisms causing the different aspects of GATA2 deficiency syndrome largely undiscovered. Zebrafish have the advantage of having two GATA2 orthologues; Gata2a and Gata2b. Gata2a is expressed predominantly in the vasculature and is required for programming of the hemogenic endothelium. Gata2b is expressed in hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) and homozygous deletion (gata2b-/-) redirects HSPCs differentiation bias, thus mimicking one of the GATA2 haploinsufficiency phenotypes found in patients. But patients carry heterozygous rather than homozygous GATA2 mutations, we specifically focused on how heterozygous Gata2b mutations could be mechanistically linked to erythro-myelodysplasia, a major clinical hallmark of GATA2 patients. To investigate the mechanisms of heterozygous GATA2 mutation caused GATA2 deficiency syndrome, we created a heterozygous gata2b mutation zebrafish model and sorted the entire progenitor and HSPC population including the lymphoid population from kidney marrow (KM) of WT and mutated zebrafish based on the scatter profile of flow cytometry for single-cell RNA (scRNA) sequencing.

Project description:The Gata2 transcription factor is a pivotal regulator of hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) development and maintenance. Gata2 functions in the embryo during endothelial cell to hematopoietic cell transition (EHT) to affect hematopoietic cluster, HPC and HSC formation. Although previous studies of cell populations phenotypically enriched in HPCs and HSCs show expression of Gata2, there has been no direct study of Gata2 expressing cells during normal hematopoiesis. In this study we generate a Gata2 Venus reporter mouse model with unperturbed Gata2 expression to examine the hematopoietic function and transcriptome of Gata2 expressing and nonexpressing cells.
