Project description:The earliest macrophages are generated during embryonic development from erythro-myeloid progenitors (EMPs) via primitive haematopoiesis. This process is poorly understood in humans and in the mouse is thought to be spatially restricted to the yolk sac. Human fetal placental macrophages, Hofbauer cells (HBC), arise during the primitive haematopoietic wave at ~18 days post conception. Here we identify a population of placental erythro-myeloid progenitors (PEMPs) in the early human placenta that give rise to HBC. PEMP are fetal CD34+CD43+ progenitors found exclusively at early gestational timepoints. Transcriptomic analyses reveal that PEMP have conserved features of primitive yolk sac EMPs, including the lack of HLF expression. Using in vitro single-cell culture experiments we show that PEMP generate HBC-like cells that completely lack HLA-DR expression and demonstrate that this is a conserved feature of all macrophages generated by primitive haematopoiesis in humans. Finally, we demonstrate that the class II transactivator, CTIIA, the master regulator HLA-DR expression, is epigenetically silenced during primitive haematopoiesis, leading to HLA-DRneg macrophages. These findings demonstrate that HBC are derived locally from PEMP and establish the human placenta as an additional site of primitive haematopoiesis.

Project description:The MHC class II transactivator (CIITA) is essential for the expression of MHC-II genes. CIITA functions as a transcriptional activator when bound to genes although repressive roles have been reported at some loci in other cell types. To define the role of CIITA in gene regulation in human B cells, we performed ChIP-seq for CIITA using three independent antibodies, the histone marks H3K4me3 and H3K27ac, and ATAC-seq in the Raji human B cell line. Additionally, we profiled H3K27ac and ATAC-seq in the CIITA-null RJ2.2.5 cell line. A core set of CIITA peaks were identified that overlapped in all antibodies. Using the H3K27ac, H3K4me3, and ATAC-seq profiles generated in CIITA+ Raji and CIITA-null RJ2.2.5 cells CIITA dependent chromatin modifications were identified. These data define the CIITA regulated genes in human B cells.

Project description:HLA-DR-lacking HSPCs [HLA-DR(-) HSPCs] were detected in aplastic anemia (AA) patients with HLA-DR15. HLA-DR(-) HSPCs may evade the attack by CD4+ T-cells recognizing the autoantigen presented by HLA-DR15. The goal of this study is to clarify the immune escape mechanisms from antigen-specific T-cells by comparing the trranscriptome profile of HLA-DR(+) HSPCs and HLA-DR(-) HSPCs.

Project description:Osteolytic destruction is a hallmark of multiple myeloma, resulting from activation of osteoclast mediated bone resorption and reduction of osteoblast-mediated bone formation. However, the molecular mechanism underlying the differentiation and activity of osteoclasts and osteoblasts within a myelomatous microenvironment remains unclear. Here, we demonstrate that the osteocyte-expressed major histocompatibility complex class II transactivator (CIITA) contributes to myeloma-induced bone lesions. CIITA upregulates the secretion of osteolytic cytokines from osteocytes through acetylation at histone 3 lysine 14 in the promoter of TNFSF11 (encoding RANKL) and SOST (encoding sclerostin), leading to enhanced osteoclastogenesis and decreased osteoblastogenesis. In turn, myeloma cell–secreted 2-deoxy-D-ribose, the product of thymidine catalyzed by the function of thymidine phosphorylase, upregulates CIITA expression in osteocytes through the STAT1/IRF1 signaling pathway. Our work thus broadens the understanding of myeloma-induced osteolysis and indicates a potential strategy for disrupting tumor-osteocyte interaction to prevent, or treat patients with, myeloma bone disease.

Project description:Dietary restriction (DR) extends lifespan in a wide variety of species, yet the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. Here we show that the Caenorhabditis elegans HNF4α-related nuclear hormone receptor NHR-62 is required for metabolic and physiologic responses associated with DR-induced longevity. nhr-62 mediates the longevity of eat-2 mutants, a genetic mimetic of dietary restriction, and blunts the longevity response of DR induced by bacterial food dilution at low nutrient levels. Metabolic changes associated with DR, including decreased Oil Red O staining, decreased triglyceride levels, and increased autophagy are partly reversed by mutation of nhr-62. Additionally, the DR fatty acid profile is altered in nhr-62mutants. Expression profiles reveal that several hundred genes induced by DR depend on the activity of NHR-62, including a putative lipase required for the DR response. This study provides critical evidence of nuclear hormone receptor regulation of the DR longevity response, suggesting hormonal and metabolic control of life span.
