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.

Project description:In vertebrates, lifelong supply of all the blood cell types in suitable numbers is maintained by the hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). During development, these HSCs emerge in the aorta-gonad-mesonephros (AGM) from specialized vascular endothelium through a transdifferentiation process, called as endothelial-to-hematopoietic transition (EHT). During this process, select endothelial cells (CD31+c-kit- or CD31PCKITN) switch to a hematopoietic transcriptional program, undergo morphological changes and become hemogenic (CD31+c-kit+ or CD31PCKITP) and gives rise to hematopoietic cells (CD31-c-kit+ or CD31NCKITP). A complex interplay of key transcription factors and signaling pathways coordinates the whole process. Specific metabolic signature of a cell can precisely define its phenotype. Evidence has emerged that cellular phenotype and function can be driven according to the changes in cellular metabolism. Metabolic programs, which are stage specific, allow stem cells to adapt their function in different microenvironments. In the present study, we performed nano LC-MS/MS based proteomic analysis to understand the molecular program involved in the transdifferentiation of endothelial to hematopoietic cells.

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-).

Abstract:
Blood cells are derived from a common set of hematopoietic
stem cells, which differentiate into more specific progenitors
of the myeloid and lymphoid lineages, ultimately leading to
differentiated cells. This developmental process is controlled
by a complex regulatory network involving cytokines and their
receptors, transcription factors, and chromatin remodelers.
Using public data and data from our own molecular genetic
experiments (quantitative PCR, Western blot, EMSA) or
genome-wide assays (RNA-sequencing, ChIP-sequencing), we have
assembled a comprehensive regulatory network encompassing the
main transcription factors and signaling components involved in
myeloid and lymphoid development. Focusing on B-cell and
macrophage development, we defined a qualitative dynamical
model recapitulating cytokine-induced differentiation of common
progenitors, the effect of various reported gene knockdowns,
and the reprogramming of pre-B cells into macrophages induced
by the ectopic expression of specific transcription factors.
The resulting network model can be used as a template for the
integration of new hematopoietic differentiation and
transdifferentiation data to foster our understanding of
lymphoid/myeloid cell-fate decisions.

Project description:MTD project_description Inflammation and decreased stem cell function characterize organism aging, yet the relationship between these factors remains incompletely understood. This study shows that aged hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells exhibit increased ground-stage NF-κB activity, which enhances their responsiveness to undergo differentiation and loss of self-renewal in response to inflammation. The study identifies Rad21/cohesin as a critical mediator of NF-κB signals, by increasing chromatin accessibility of inter-/intra-genic and enhancer regions. Rad21/NF-κB are required for normal differentiation, but limit self-renewal of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) during aging and inflammation in an NF-κB dependent manner. HSCs from aged mice fail to downregulate Rad21/cohesin and inflammation/differentiation inducing signals in the resolution phase after acute inflammation. and The inhibition of cohesin/NF-κB is sufficient to revert the hypersensitivity of aged HSPCs to inflammation-induced differentiation. During aging, myeloid-biased HSCs with disrupted and naturally occurring reduced expression of Rad21/cohesin are increasingly selected over lymphoid-biased HSCs. Together, Rad21/cohesin mediated NF-κB signaling limits HSPC function during aging and selects for cohesin deficient HSCs with myeloid skewed differentiation.

Project description:In the mouse embryo during midgestation, hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are generated from aortic endothelium through the transdifferentiation process known as endothelial-to-hematopoietic transition, or EHT. During EHT, flat-shaped hemogenic endothelium transform into round-shaped hematopoietic cells, which subsequently form cell aggregates, called hematopoietic clusters. To understand HSC specification during ontogeny and to search for nascent HSC markers, we performed single-cell microarray analysis of developing HSC populations.

Project description:Derivation of induced smooth muscle cells (iSMC) through direct transdifferentiation of a convenient and expandable primary cell source would open a wide range of prospects for their use in tissue engineering, drug testing, and disease modeling. Hypothesizing that MYOCD as a master regulator of smooth muscle gene expression would facilitate the generation of iSMC, we studied the conversion of human endothelial progenitor cells (EPC) into iSMC through the induced expression of by over-expression of MYOCD. A significant cytoskeletal rearrangement of the EPC resembling that of mesenchymal cells occurred within 3 days post initiation of MYOCD expression. This transition was associated with a downregulation of endothelial cell surface markers (CD31, CD105) as determined by flow cytometry. By day 7, iSMC derivation was evident with a significant upregulation of smooth muscle markers ACTA2, MYH11, TAGLN, and downregulation of CD31 and CDH5 as determined by gene expression analysis. Immunofluorescence revealed expression of MYH11 and ACTA2 and absence of endothelial markers VWF and CD31. By two weeks, microarray gene expression analysis demonstrated a significant similarity between iSMC and umbilical artery SMC (UASMC). The iSMC continued to develop toward the SMC lineage after four weeks of MYOCD induced expression. Microarray gene expression analysis showed an upregulation of molecular pathways associated with smooth muscle contraction and cytoskeletal reorganization in iSMC. Calcium transients were detected in iSMC when stimulated with phenylephrine but not in EPC. Contractility of iSMC was also higher than that of EPC as determined by traction force microscopy. Tissue-engineered blood vessels constructed using iSMC showed functionality with respect to flow- and drug- mediated vasodilation and vasoconstriction. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying the transdifferentiation of endothelial progenitor cells into smooth muscle cells via the transient induced expression of the transcriptional co factor MYOCD
