Differentiation of human embryonic stem cells to HOXA+ hemogenic vasculature that resembles the aorta-gonad-mesonephros

ABSTRACT: The production of definitive haematopoietic stem/progenitor cells from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) remains a significant challenge. Using reporter lines to track the endothelial (SOX17) to haematopoietic (RUNX1C) transition, we found that hPSC differentiated in growth factor supplemented serum free medium generated RUNX1C+CD34+ clonogenic cells that homed to the bone marrow, but did not engraft. Compared to repopulation-competent cord blood CD34+ cells, RUNX1C+CD34+ progenitors lacked HOXA gene expression, indicating incorrect mesoderm patterning. This deficiency was ameliorated by a timed pulse of WNT activation combined with ACTIVIN antagonism. Significantly, these HOXA+ cultures now formed complex SOX17+ vessels that produced fetal liver-like haematopoietic cells, similar to the human aorta-gonad-mesonephros (AGM). Comparison of transcriptional profiles of these nascent haematopoietic stem/progenitors with cells isolated from human AGM confirmed significant similarities, consistent with the assignment of our in vitro generated cells to the definitive human haematopoietic lineage. Our findings argue that HOXA codes established early in differentiation predict cellular potential and provide correct cell patterning for the specification of definitive haematopoietic lineages from hPSCs.

Transcriptional profiling of early haematopoietic mesoderm and endoderm in differentiating human pluripotent stem cells.

Project description:The aim of this project was to compare the transcriptional profiles of populations of cells derived from human pluripotent stem cells under haematopoietic and endoderm differentiation conditions. We used a reporter line (denoted SOX-RUNX) that carries mCHERRY inserted into the SOX17 locus and GFP inserted into the RUNX1C locus to mark haematopoietic progenitors (Ng et al., Nature Biotechnology, Nov 2016). SOX17 marks both endothelium and early endoderm. SOX17 is absolutely required at all stages of endoderm formation and the gene is also required for normal endothelial formation and subsequent haematopoieisis. We have also shown that RUNX1 is required for all definitive blood cell formation (Bruveris et al., manuscript submitted).

Profiling of melocular mechanism of SOX17 effect during hematopoieisis of human ES cells

Project description:Here, using SOX17-knockout and SOX17-inducible human PSCs, paired with cell biology and molecular profiling studies, we revealed that SOX17 represents a critical upstream factor that is required for activation and linkage of HOXA and arterial programs in hemogenic endothelium and establishing definitive lympho-myeloid hematopoiesis. These SOX17 effects are mediated through activation of NOTCH, CDX2 and retinoic acid signaling. Collectively, these findings are important to design strategies for direct HSC fate programming from hPSCs.

Direct Induction of hemogenic endothelial progenitors from hPSCs by defined factors revealed by single-cell transcriptome analysis

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.

Human yolk sac-like haematopoiesis generates RUNX1-, GFI1- and/or GFI1B-dependent blood and SOX17-positive endothelium

Project description:The genetic regulatory network controlling early fate choices during human blood cell development are not well understood. We use human pluripotent stem cell reporter lines to track the development of endothelial and haematopoietic populations in an in vitro model of human yolk-sac development. We identified SOX17-CD34+CD43- endothelial cells at day 2 of blast colony development, as a haemangioblast-like branch point from which SOX17-CD34+CD43+ blood cells and SOX17+CD34+CD43- endothelium subsequently arose. Most human blood cell development was dependent on RUNX1. Deletion of RUNX1 only permitted a single wave of yolk sac-like primitive erythropoiesis, but no yolk sac myelopoiesis or aorta-gonad-mesonephros (AGM)-like haematopoiesis. Blocking GFI1/1B activity with a small molecule inhibitor abrogated all blood cell development, even in cell lines with an intact RUNX1 gene. Together, our data defines the hierarchical requirements for both RUNX1 and GFI1/1B during early human haematopoiesis arising from a yolk sac-like SOX17- haemogenic endothelial intermediate.

Next Generation Sequencing Identifies the Heterogeneity of Human Pluripotent Stem Cell-Derived AGM-like Cells

Project description:Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has significantly advanced the elucidation of developmental signaling mechanisms that are important for different cell lineage formation from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs). We report here the application of single cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) technology for transcriptome profile of hPSC-derived aorta-gonad-mesonephros (AGM)-like endothelial and hematopoietic cells, and compare to those of primary AGM cells. Day 8 and day 18 samples were collected and performed in IIIumina NovaSeq6000. The resulting sequence reads (day 8: 90,000 reads/cells and day 18: 75,000 reads/cell) were mapped to human genome (hg19) using Cell Ranger, and the RefSeq transcript levels (RPKMs) were quantified using the Seurat R package version 3.2. Our scRNA-seq data confirmed the stable expression of key definitive hematopoietic cell markers including SOX17, RUNX1, LMO4 and CD44, and no detectable expression of primitive hematopoietic cell markers, such as GYPA (CD235a), were observed. This study represents the first detailed analysis of AGM-like cell transcriptomes generated by scRNA-seq technology, providing insight into the mechanisms underlying the differentiation of hPSCs into AGM-like cells.

Identification of a retinoic acid-dependent definitive hematopoietic progenitor from human pluripotent stem cells [CXCR4]

Project description:The generation of the hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) is a major goal for regenerative medicine. HSCs derive from hemogenic endothelium (HE) in a retinoic acid (RA)-dependent manner1. While a WNT-dependent (WNTd) patterning of nascent mesoderm specifies clonally multipotent definitive HE from hPSCs2,3, this HE is functionally unresponsive to RA4. Here we show that WNTd mesoderm, prior to HE specification, is comprised of two distinct KDR+CD34negT+ populations. In a TGFb-independent manner, CXCR4negCYP26A1+ mesoderm is specified, which gives rise to HOXA+ multilineage definitive HE, in an RA-independent manner. In contrast, CXCR4+ALDH1A2+ mesoderm is specified in a TGFb-dependent manner, and gives rise to multilineage definitive HE in a stage-specific, RA-dependent manner. Further, this NOTCH-dependent HE harbored HOXA expression resembling fetal HE. This model of human hematopoietic development defines the mesodermal origins of multiple waves of hematopoiesis, and that RA-dependent hematopoietic development occurs prior to HE development.
