Aldehyde dehydrogenase 1a1 is dispensable for stem cell function in the mouse hematopoietic and nervous systems.
High levels of aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) activity have been proposed to be a common feature of stem cells. Adult hematopoietic,neural,and cancer stem cells have all been reported to have high ALDH activity,detected using Aldefluor,a fluorogenic substrate for ALDH. This activity has been attributed to Aldh1a1,an enzyme that is expressed at high levels in stem cells and that has been suggested to regulate stem cell function. Nonetheless,Aldh1a1 function in stem cells has never been tested genetically. We observed that Aldh1a1 was preferentially expressed in mouse hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and expression increased with age. Hematopoietic cells from Aldh1a1-deficient mice exhibited increased sensitivity to cyclophosphamide in a non-cell-autonomous manner,consistent with its role in cyclophosphamide metabolism in the liver. However,Aldh1a1 deficiency did not affect hematopoiesis,HSC function,or the capacity to reconstitute irradiated recipients in young or old adult mice. Aldh1a1 deficiency also did not affect Aldefluor staining of hematopoietic cells. Finally,Aldh1a1 deficiency did not affect the function of stem cells from the adult central or peripheral nervous systems. Aldh1a1 is not a critical regulator of adult stem cell function or Aldefluor staining in mice.

Characterization of mouse lymphohematopoietic stem cells lacking spleen colony-forming activity.
The classical definition of lymphohematopoietic stem cells (LHSC),the most primitive progenitors of all blood cells,requires that they have the capacity for self-renewal and for the long-term production of all blood cell lineages. However,other characteristics of LHSC have been debated. Our previous data suggested that mouse LHSC are very slowly proliferating cells that generate delayed multilineage engraftment,while radioprotection" (rapid engraftment that will prevent early death from radiation-induced marrow aplasia) results from more committed progenitors.

Three-dimensional culture for expansion and differentiation of mouse embryonic stem cells.
Differentiation of embryonic stem (ES) cells typically requires cell-cell aggregation in the form of embryoid bodies (EBs). This process is not very well controlled and final cell numbers can be limited by EB agglomeration and the inability to drive differentiation towards a desired cell type. This study compares three-dimensional (3D) fibrin culture to conventional two-dimensional (2D) suspension culture and to culture in a semisolid methylcellulose medium solution. Two types of fibrin culture were evaluated,including a PEGylated fibrin gel. PEGylation with a difunctional PEG derivative retarded fibrinogen migration during through sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) as a result of crosslinking,similarly,degradation was slowed in the PEGylated gel. ES cell proliferation was higher in both the fibrin and PEGylated fibrin gels versus 2D and methylcellulose controls. FACS analysis and real-time-PCR revealed differences in patterns of differentiation for the various culture systems. Culture in PEGylated fibrin or methylcellulose culture demonstrated features characteristic of less extensive differentiation relative to fibrin and 2D culture as evidenced by the transcription factor Oct-4. Fibrin gels showed gene and protein expression similar to that in 2D culture. Both fibrin and 2D cultures demonstrated statistically greater cell numbers positive for the vascular mesoderm marker,VE-cadherin.

Differentiation stage determines potential of hematopoietic cells for reprogramming into induced pluripotent stem cells.
The reprogramming of somatic cells into induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells upon overexpression of the transcription factors Oct4,Sox2,Klf4 and cMyc is inefficient. It has been assumed that the somatic differentiation state provides a barrier for efficient reprogramming; however,direct evidence for this notion is lacking. Here,we tested the potential of mouse hematopoietic cells at different stages of differentiation to be reprogrammed into iPS cells. We show that hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells give rise to iPS cells up to 300 times more efficiently than terminally differentiated B and T cells do,yielding reprogramming efficiencies of up to 28%. Our data provide evidence that the differentiation stage of the starting cell has a critical influence on the efficiency of reprogramming into iPS cells. Moreover,we identify hematopoietic progenitors as an attractive cell type for applications of iPS cell technology in research and therapy.

SALL4 is a robust stimulator for the expansion of hematopoietic stem cells.
HSCs are rare cells that have the unique ability to self-renew and differentiate into cells of all hematopoietic lineages. The lack of donors and current inability to rapidly and efficiently expand HSCs are roadblocks in the development of successful cell therapies. Thus,the challenge of ex vivo human HSC expansion remains a fertile and critically important area of investigation. Here,we show that either SALL4A- or SALL4B-transduced human HSCs obtained from the mobilized peripheral blood are capable of rapid and efficient expansion ex vivo by textgreater10 000-fold for both CD34(+)/CD38(-) and CD34(+)/CD38(+) cells in the presence of appropriate cytokines. We found that these cells retained hematopoietic precursor cell immunophenotypes and morphology as well as normal in vitro or vivo potential for differentiation. The SALL4-mediated expansion was associated with enhanced stem cell engraftment and long-term repopulation capacity in vivo. Also,we demonstrated that constitutive expression of SALL4 inhibited granulocytic differentiation and permitted expansion of undifferentiated cells in 32D myeloid progenitors. Furthermore,a TAT-SALL4B fusion rapidly expanded CD34(+) cells,and it is thus feasible to translate this study into the clinical setting. Our findings provide a new avenue for investigating mechanisms of stem cell self-renewal and achieving clinically significant expansion of human HSCs.

Essential role for Ptpn11 in survival of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells.
Src homology 2 domain-containing phosphatase 2 (Shp2),encoded by Ptpn11,is a member of the nonreceptor protein-tyrosine phosphatase family,and functions in cell survival,proliferation,migration,and differentiation in many tissues. Here we report that loss of Ptpn11 in murine hematopoietic cells leads to bone marrow aplasia and lethality. Mutant mice show rapid loss of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and immature progenitors of all hematopoietic lineages in a gene dosage-dependent and cell-autonomous manner. Ptpn11-deficient HSCs and progenitors undergo apoptosis concomitant with increased Noxa expression. Mutant HSCs/progenitors also show defective Erk and Akt activation in response to stem cell factor and diminished thrombopoietin-evoked Erk activation. Activated Kras alleviates the Ptpn11 requirement for colony formation by progenitors and cytokine/growth factor responsiveness of HSCs,indicating that Ras is functionally downstream of Shp2 in these cells. Thus,Shp2 plays a critical role in controlling the survival and maintenance of HSCs and immature progenitors in vivo.

Interleukin-1-mediated hematopoietic cell regulation in the aorta-gonad-mesonephros region of the mouse embryo.
Hematopoiesis during development is a dynamic process,with many factors involved in the emergence and regulation of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and progenitor cells. Whereas previous studies have focused on developmental signaling and transcription factors in embryonic hematopoiesis,the role of well-known adult hematopoietic cytokines in the embryonic hematopoietic system has been largely unexplored. The cytokine interleukin-1 (IL-1),best known for its proinflammatory properties,has radioprotective effects on adult bone marrow HSCs,induces HSC mobilization,and increases HSC proliferation and/or differentiation. Here we examine IL-1 and its possible role in regulating hematopoiesis in the midgestation mouse embryo. We show that IL-1,IL-1 receptors (IL-1Rs),and signaling mediators are expressed in the aorta-gonad-mesonephros (AGM) region during the time when HSCs emerge in this site. IL-1 signaling is functional in the AGM,and the IL-1RI is expressed ventrally in the aortic subregion by some hematopoietic,endothelial,and mesenchymal cells. In vivo analyses of IL-1RI-deficient embryos show an increased myeloid differentiation,concomitant with a slight decrease in AGM HSC activity. Our results suggest that IL-1 is an important homeostatic regulator at the earliest time of HSC development,acting to limit the differentiation of some HSCs along the myeloid lineage.

Vinculin is indispensable for repopulation by hematopoietic stem cells, independent of integrin function.
Vinculin is a highly conserved actin-binding protein that is localized in integrin-mediated focal adhesion complexes. Although critical roles have been proposed for integrins in hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) function,little is known about the involvement of intracellular focal adhesion proteins in HSC functions. This study showed that the ability of c-Kit(+)Sca1(+)Lin(-) HSCs to support reconstitution of hematopoiesis after competitive transplantation was severely impaired by lentiviral transduction with short hairpin RNA sequences for vinculin. The potential of these HSCs to differentiate into granulocytic and monocytic lineages,to migrate toward stromal cell-derived factor 1α,and to home to the bone marrow in vivo were not inhibited by the loss of vinculin. However,the capacities to form long term culture-initiating cells and cobblestone-like areas were abolished in vinculin-silenced c-Kit(+)Sca1(+)Lin(-) HSCs. In contrast,adhesion to the extracellular matrix was inhibited by silencing of talin-1,but not of vinculin. Whole body in vivo luminescence analyses to detect transduced HSCs confirmed the role of vinculin in long term HSC reconstitution. Our results suggest that vinculin is an indispensable factor determining HSC repopulation capacity,independent of integrin functions.

Adult hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells require either Lyl1 or Scl for survival.
Scl and Lyl1 encode two related basic-helix-loop-helix transcription factors implicated in T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Previous studies showed that Scl is essential for embryonic and adult erythropoiesis,while Lyl1 is important for B cell development. Single-knockout mice have not revealed an essential function for Scl or Lyl1 in adult hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). To determine if maintenance of HSCs in single-knockout mice is due to functional redundancy,we generated Lyl1;Scl-conditional double-knockout mice. Here,we report a striking genetic interaction between the two genes,with a clear dose dependence for the presence of Scl or Lyl1 alleles for HSC function. Bone marrow repopulation assays and analyses demonstrated rapid loss of hematopoietic progenitors due to apoptosis. The function of HSCs could be rescued by a single allele of Lyl1 but not Scl. These results show that expression of at least one of these factors is essential for maintenance of adult HSC function.
