Project description:Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) display substantial cell-to-cell heterogeneity, complicating their use in regenerative medicine. However, conventional bulk assays mask this variability. Here we show that both chondrocytes and chondrogenically induced MSCs exhibit substantial mRNA expression heterogeneity. Single-molecule RNA FISH to measure mRNA expression of differentiation markers in single cells reveals that sister cell pairs have high levels of mRNA variability, suggesting that marker expression is not heritable. Surprisingly, this variability does not correlate with cell-to-cell differences in cartilage-like matrix production. Transcriptome-wide analysis suggests that no combination of markers can predict functional potential. De-differentiating chondrocytes also show a disconnect between mRNA expression of the cartilage marker aggrecan and cartilage-like matrix accumulation. Altogether, these quantitative analyses suggest that sorting subpopulations based on these markers would only marginally enrich the progenitor population for 'superior' MSCs. Our results suggest that instantaneous mRNA abundance of canonical markers is tenuously linked to the chondrogenic phenotype at the single-cell level.

Project description:Reprogramming of somatic cells into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) is an epigenetic phenomenon. It has been suggested that iPSC retain some tissue-specific memory whereas little is known about inter-individual epigenetic variation of iPSC clones. In this study we have reprogrammed mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) from human bone marrow by retrovirus-mediated overexpression of OCT-3/4, SOX2, c-MYC, and KLF4. Global DNA-methylation profiles of the initial MSC, MSC-derived iPSC (iP-MSC) and embryonic stem cells (ESC) were then compared using a high density DNA-methylation array covering more than 450,000 CpG sites. Overall, DNA-methylation patterns of iP-MSC and ESC were similar whereas some CpG sites revealed highly significant differences, which were not related to parental MSC. Furthermore, hypermethylation in iP-MSC versus ESC was particularly enriched in developmental genes as well as shore regions next to CpG islands indicating that these differences are not due to tissue-specific memory or random de novo methylation. Subsequently, we searched for CpG sites with donor-specific variation in MSC preparations. These “epigenetic fingerprints” were highly enriched in non-promoter regions and outside of CpG islands – and they were maintained upon reprogramming into iP-MSC. In conclusion, DNA methylation profiles of iP-MSC clones from the same donor were closely related despite heterogeneity of MSC. On the other hand, iP-MSC maintain donor-derived epigenetic differences. In the absence of isogenic controls for disease modeling applications, it would therefore be more appropriate to compare iPSC from different donors rather than a high number of different clones from the same patient.

Project description:The critical balance between intended and adverse effects in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloHSCT) depends on the fate of individual donor T‐cells. To this end, we tracked αβT‐cell clones during stem cell mobilization treatment with granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) in healthy donors and during immune reconstitution after transfer to transplant recipients. More than 250 αβT‐cell clones were tracked from donor to recipient. These clones consisted almost exclusively of CD8+ effector memory T cells (CD8TEM), which exhibited a different transcriptional signature with enhanced effector and cytotoxic functions compared to other CD8TEM. Importantly, these distinct and persisting clones could already be delineated in the donor. We confirmed these phenotypes on the protein level and their potential for selection from the graft. Thus, we identified a transcriptional signature associated with persistence and expansion of donor T-cell clones after alloHSCT that may be exploited for personalized graft manipulation strategies in future studies.

Project description:Cancer cells exhibit dramatic differences in gene expression at the single-cell level which can predict whether they become resistant to treatment. Treatment perpetuates this heterogeneity, resulting in a diversity of cell states among resistant clones. However, it remains unclear whether these differences lead to distinct responses when another treatment is applied or the same treatment is continued. In this study, we combined single-cell RNA-sequencing with barcoding to track resistant clones through prolonged and sequential treatments. We found that cells within the same clone have similar gene expression states after multiple rounds of treatment. Moreover, we demonstrated that individual clones have distinct and differing fates, including growth, survival, or death, when subjected to a second treatment or when the first treatment is continued. By identifying gene expression states that predict clone survival, this work provides a foundation for selecting optimal therapies that target the most aggressive resistant clones within a tumor.

Project description:Human bone marrow derived mesenchymal stromal cells (BMSCs) represent a putative cell source candidate for tissue engineering based strategies to repair cartilage and bone. However, traditional isolation of BMSCs by their preference to adhere to plastic leads to very heterogeneous cell populations and may account for high inter-donor variability and unpredictability of chondrogenic differentiation out-come. Identification of a cell fraction with higher chondrogenic capacity and reduced variance in basic chondrogenic differentiation could further aid the process for developing BMSC-based cartilage and bone regeneration approaches. Since single cell derived clones isolated from fresh bone marrow aspirates show a broad range of chondrogenic capacity, we assessed whether the gene expression profile of clones with high and low chondrogenic capacity differs. While a clustering between high and low chondrogenic capacity clones was observed for one donor, donor-to-donor variability drastically hampered the possibility to achieve conclusive results when different donors were considered. NCAM1/CD56 as identified by the transcriptomic analysis of one donor was still up-regulated in clones with higher chondrogenic capacity and we showed that enriching expanded multiclonal BMSCs for CD56+ expression led to an increase in chondrogenic capacity, though still highly affected by donor-to-donor variability. Our study finally suggests that the definition of predictive marker(s) for BMSCs chondrogenesis is challenged by the high donor’s heterogeneity of these cells. Moreover, we hypothesis that multiple pathways may be involved in determining the chondrogenic potential of BMSCs, making the identification of putative markers still an open issue.

Project description:Bovine chondrocyte-seeded and mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-seeded agarose were cultured for 28 days in chemically defined media containing 10 ng/mL TGF-beta3. Chondrogenic differentiated MSCs were compared to chondrocytes at this timepoint and to undifferentiated MSCs harvested at day 0. Donor-matched sets of chondrocytes and MSCs were used, with three donors total.
