Project description:To facilitate comparative genomic analyses of human fetal and adult cells undergoing erythropoiesis, we employed a serum-free two-phase liquid culture system to expand and differentiate primary human CD34+ hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) ex vivo. In this experimental context, highly enriched populations of stage-matched, differentiating, primary proerythroblasts (ProEs) were generated. We selected four time points (day 0, CD34+ HSPCs; day 3, 5, and 7, differentiating ProEs) that represented similar stages differentiation for gene expression profiling using microarrays. Primary maturing fetal or adult erythroblasts were generated ex vivo from CD34+ hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) using a serum-free two-phase liquid culture system. Total RNA from primary fetal and adult HSPCs (day 0) and differentiating proerythroblasts (ProEs; day 3, 5, and 7) were extracted and used to hybridize to Affymetrix expression arrays using the HG-U133 Plus 2.0 platform.

Project description:IRF2, IRF6, and MYB are candidate regulators of human erythropoiesis. We here examine primary CD34+ hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs)-derived erythroid progenitors with control, IRF2, IRF6, or MYB shRNA lentiviral transduction prior to differentiation. Gene expression microarray profiling datasets for MYB shRNA and control shRNA were obtained from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) under accession number GSE25678. The data were analyzed together with the datasets obtained in this study. Primary maturing adult erythroblasts were generated ex vivo from CD34+ hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) using a serum-free two-phase liquid culture system. CD34+ HSPCs were transduced with lentiviruses containing shRNAs against IRF2 or IRF6 gene, selected and differentiated to proerythroblasts (ProEs). Cells were harvested at day 5 of differentiated and total RNA were extracted. This was used to hybridize to Affymetrix expression arrays using the HG-U133 Plus 2.0 platform.

Project description:Advances in sequencing-based genomic profiling present a new challenge of explaining how changes in DNA/RNA are translated into proteins linking genotypes to phenotypes. The developing erythroid cells require highly coordinated gene expression and metabolism, and serve as a unique model in dissecting regulatory events in development and disease. Here we compare the proteomic and transcriptomic changes in human hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells and lineage-committed erythroid progenitors, and uncover pathways related to mitochondrial biogenesis enhanced through post-transcriptional regulation. Two principal mitochondrial factors TFAM and PHB2 are tightly regulated at the protein level and indispensable for mitochondria and erythropoiesis. mTORC1 signaling is progressively enhanced to promote translation of mitochondrial proteins during erythroid specification. Genetic and pharmacological perturbation of mTORC1 or mitochondria impairs erythropoiesis. Our studies suggest a new mechanism for regulation of mitochondrial biogenesis through mTORC1-mediated protein translation, and may have direct relevance to the hematological defects associated with mitochondrial diseases and aging. Transcriptional profiling in human primary fetal and adult CD34+ hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) erythroid progenitor cells (ProEs) by RNA-seq analysis.
Project description:Fetal and adult hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) are characterized by distinct redox homeostasis that may influence their differential cellular behaviour in normal and malignant haematopoiesis. In this work, we have applied a quantitative mass spectrometry-based redox proteomic approach to comprehensively describe reversible cysteine modifications in primary mouse fetal and adult HSPCs. We defined the redox state of 4455 cysteines in fetal and adult HSPCs and demonstrated a higher susceptibility to oxidation of protein thiols in fetal HSPCs. Our data identified ontogenically active redox switches in proteins with a pronounced role in metabolism and protein homeostasis. Additional redox proteomic analysis identified redox switches acting in mitochondrial respiration as well as protein homeostasis to be triggered during onset of MLL-ENL leukemogenesis in fetal HSPCs. Our data has demonstrated that redox signalling contributes to the regulation of fundamental processes of developmental hematopoiesis and has pinpointed potential targetable redox-sensitive proteins in in utero-initiated MLL-rearranged leukaemia. An H9 human embryonic stem cells cell line was applied to validate data from the primary cells.

Project description:The developing erythroid cells require highly coordinated gene expression and metabolism. By comparing the proteomic and transcriptomic changes in human hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) and lineage-committed erythroid progenitors (ProEs), and uncover pathways related to mitochondrial biogenesis enhanced through post-transcriptional regulation. Two principal mitochondrial factors TFAM and PHB2 are tightly regulated at the protein level and indispensable for mitochondria and erythropoiesis. To determine the role of TFAM in mitochondrial function during erythroid development, we generated Tfam conditional knockout (KO) mice by an erythroid-specific EpoR-Cre allele. We isolated the CD71+Ter119+ embryonic day (E)13.5 fetal liver erythroid cells by FACS sorting, and performed RNA-seq transcriptional profiling analysis.
Project description:To better understand the early events regulating lineage-specific hematopoietic differentiation, we analyzed the transcriptional profiles of CD34+ human hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) subjected to differentiation stimulus. CD34+ cells were cultured for 12 and 40 hours in liquid cultures with supplemented media favoring myeloid or erythroid commitment. Serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE) was employed to generate four independent libraries. CD34+ Hematopoietic Stem Progenitor Cells with no differentiation stimulus were used as a control library.

Two principal mitochondrial factors TFAM and PHB2 are tightly regulated at the protein level and indispensable for mitochondria and erythropoiesis. Depletion of TFAM in erythroid cells alters intracellular metabolism, leading to elevated histone acetylation, deregulated gene expression, defective mitochondria function and erythropoiesis.
