Musashi-2 attenuates AHR signalling to expand human haematopoietic stem cells

ABSTRACT: A greater understanding of the molecular pathways that underpin the unique human hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell (HSPC) self-renewal program will improve strategies to expand these critical cell types for regenerative therapies. The post-transcriptional mechanisms guiding HSPC fate during ex vivo expansion have not been closely investigated. Using shRNA-mediated knockdown, we show that the RNA-binding protein (RBP) Musashi-2 (MSI2) is required for human HSPC self-renewal. Conversely, when overexpressed, MSI2 induces multiple pro-self-renewal phenotypes, including significant ex vivo expansion of short- and long-term repopulating cells through direct attenuation of aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) signaling. Using a global analysis of MSI2-RNA interactions, we determined that MSI2 post-transcriptionally downregulates canonical AHR pathway components in cord blood HSPCs. Our study provides new mechanistic insight into RBP-controlled RNA networks that underlie the self-renewal process and provides evidence that manipulating such networks can provide a novel means to enhance the regenerative potential of human HSPCs expanded ex vivo.

Identification of osteolineage cell-derived extracellular vesicle cargo implicated in hematopoietic support

Project description:Osteolineage cell-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) play a regulatory role in hematopoiesis and have been shown to promote the ex vivo expansion of human hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs). Here, we demonstrate that EVs from different human osteolineage sources do not have the same HSPC expansion promoting potential. Comparison of stimulatory and non-stimulatory osteolineage EVs by next-generation sequencing and mass spectrometry analyses revealed distinct microRNA and protein signatures identifying EV-derived candidate regulators of ex vivo HSPC expansion. Accordingly, the treatment of umbilical cord blood-derived CD34+ HSPCs with stimulatory EVs altered HSPC transcriptome, including genes with known roles in cell proliferation. An integrative bioinformatics approach, which connects the HSPC gene expression data with the candidate cargo in stimulatory EVs, delineated the potentially targeted biological functions and pathways during hematopoietic cell expansion and development. In conclusion, our study gives novel insights into the complex biological role of EVs in osteolineage cell-HSPC crosstalk and promotes the utility of EVs and their cargo as therapeutic agents in regenerative medicine.

APEX1 nuclease and redox functions are both essential for adult mouse hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells.

Project description:Self-renewal and differentiation of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) is carefully controlled by extrinsic and intrinsic factors, to ensure the lifelong process of hematopoiesis. Apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease 1 (APEX1) is a multifunctional protein implicated in DNA repair and transcriptional regulation. Although previous studies have emphasized the necessity of studying APEX1 in lineage-specific context and its role in some progenitor cells, no studies have assessed the role of APEX1, nor its two enzymatic domains, in supporting adult HSPC function. In this study, we demonstrated that complete loss of APEX1 from murine bone marrow HSPCs (induced by CRSIPR/Cas9) caused severe hematopoietic failure following transplantation, as well as an ex vivo HSPC expansion defect. Using specific inhibitors against either the nuclease or redox domains of APEX1 in combination with single cell transcriptomics (CITE-seq), we found that both APEX1 nuclease and redox domains are regulating mouse ex vivo HSPC proliferation, differentiation and survival, but through distinct mechanisms. Inhibition of the APEX1 nuclease function resulted in loss of HSPCs accompanied by early activation of differentiation programs and enhanced lineage commitment. By contrast, inhibition of the APEX1 redox function significantly downregulated interferon signaling in expanding HSPCs and their progeny, resulting in dysfunctional megakaryocyte-biased HSPCs, loss of monocytes and lymphoid progenitor cells. In conclusion, we demonstrate that APEX1 is a key regulator for adult regenerative hematopoiesis, and that the APEX1 nuclease and redox domains differentially impact lineage specification and stemness of functional ex vivo cultured HSPCs.

RNA-seq expression data from EB-HSPCs after HOXA7 overexpression

Project description:HOXA7 regulates FL-HSPC self-renewal in vitro and in vivo. We profiled EB-HSPCs after HOXA7 overexpression (EB-HOXA7), or with a control vector (EB-CTR), to assess the gene expression programs regulated by HOXA7. CD34+CD38-CD43+CD90+ HSPCs were infected with lentiviral FUGW vector either empty (FUGW-GFP) or encoding HOXA7(FUGW-GFP-HOXA7) protein. Cells were expanded on op9 for 15 days and than sorted for GFP HSPC immunophenotype.

PLAG1 and USF2 Co-regulate Expression of Musashi-2 in Human Hematopoietic Stem and Progenitor Cells

Project description:MSI2, which is expressed predominantly in hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs), enforces HSPC expansion when overexpressed and is upregulated in myeloid leukemias indicating its regulated transcription is critical to balanced self-renewal and leukemia restraint. Despite this, little is understood of the factors that enforce appropriate physiological levels of MSI2 in the blood system. Here we define a promoter region that reports on endogenous expression of MSI2 and identify USF2 and PLAG1 as transcription factors whose promoter binding drives reporter activity. We show that these factors co-regulate, and are required for, efficient transactivation of endogenous MSI2. Coincident overexpression of USF2 and PLAG1 in primitive cord blood cells enhanced MSI2 transcription and yielded cellular phenotypes, including expansion of CD34+ cells in vitro, consistent with that achieved by direct MSI2 overexpression. Global ChIP-seq analyses confirm a preferential co-binding of PLAG1 and USF2 at the promoter of MSI2, as well as regulatory regions corresponding to genes with roles in HSPC homeostasis. PLAG1 and USF2 cooperation is thus an important contributor to stem cell-specific expression of MSI2 and represents novel HSPC-specific transcriptional circuitry.

Expression data from cultured c-Kit+Sca-1+Lin- (KSL)cells

Project description:The Notch signaling pathway plays a critical role in regulating the proliferation and differentiation of stem and progenitor cells including hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs). Notch receptors and ligands are expressed in BM stromal and hematopoietic cells. A large body of evidence has demonstrated that activating Notch signaling enhances HSCs self-renewal and facilitates its expansion ex vivo. We report that an endothelium-targeted soluble Notch ligand, the DSL domain of mouse Delta-like 1 fused with a RGD motif (mD1R), efficiently promotes the expansion ex vivo of mouse bone marrow HSPCs in a Notch signaling and endocytosis dependent manner. HSPCs expanded in the presence of mD1R kept long-term HSPC repopulation capacity. We used microarrays to compare the gene expression profiles of HSPCs expanded in the presence of PBS and mD1R. KSL cells were plated on Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and cultured in a serum-free medium supplemented with a cocktail containing 5 types of mouse cytokines (m5GF) in the presence of PBS or mD1R for 7 days. Then KSL cells were sorted from these cultured hematopoietic cells for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. The experiments were repeated 3 times.

CD34+ HSPC CITE-seq for day 0 and Day 1 and Day 4 under VPA

Project description:The regenerative potential of human hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) is well established by to their ability of life-long blood cell production and cure of a wide range of hematological diseases upon transplantation. This regenerative potential depends on HSC self-renewal and the coordinated adaptation to metabolic stress conditions. This is especially critical during ex vivo culture/manipulation of HSCs that is frequently accompanied with loss of self-renewal potential resulting in stem cell exhaustion. We have previously reported that CD34+ human hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPC) can be efficiently reprogrammed and expanded to phenotypic HSCs with long-term repopulation capacity in the presence of cytokines and valproic acid (VPA). Here, we present evidence that the SIRT1-SIRT3 axis maintains the mitochondrial activity below a critical threshold by coordinating and retaining a transcriptional and metabolic landscape of human HSCs with long-term self-renewal properties during ex vivo HSC reprogramming.

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.
