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.

Pyrimidoindole derivative UM171 enhances derivation of hematopoietic progenitor cells from human pluripotent stem cells.
In the field of hematopoietic regeneration,deriving hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) from pluripotent stem cells with engraftment potential is the central mission. Unstable hematopoietic differentiation protocol due to variation factors such as serums and feeder cells,remains a major technical issue impeding the screening of key factors for the derivation of HSCs. In combination with hematopoietic cytokines,UM171 has the capacity to facilitate the maintenance and expansion of human primary HSCs in vitro. Here,using a serum-free,feeder-free,and chemically defined induction protocol,we observed that UM171 enhanced hematopoietic derivation through the entire process of hematopoietic induction in vitro. UM171 facilitated generation of robust CD34(+)CD45(+) derivatives that formed more and larger sized CFU-GM as well as larger sized CFU-Mix. In our protocol,the derived hematopoietic progenitors failed to engraft in NOG mice,indicating the absence of long-term HSC from these progenitors. In combination with other factors and protocols,UM171 might be broadly used for hematopoietic derivation from human pluripotent stem cells in vitro.

Aryl hydrocarbon receptor antagonists promote the expansion of human hematopoietic stem cells.
Although practiced clinically for more than 40 years,the use of hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) transplants remains limited by the ability to expand these cells ex vivo. An unbiased screen with primary human HSCs identified a purine derivative,StemRegenin 1 (SR1),that promotes the ex vivo expansion of CD34+ cells. Culture of HSCs with SR1 led to a 50-fold increase in cells expressing CD34 and a 17-fold increase in cells that retain the ability to engraft immunodeficient mice. Mechanistic studies show that SR1 acts by antagonizing the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR). The identification of SR1 and AHR modulation as a means to induce ex vivo HSC expansion should facilitate the clinical use of HSC therapy.

A defined glycosaminoglycan-binding substratum for human pluripotent stem cells.
To exploit the full potential of human pluripotent stem cells for regenerative medicine,developmental biology and drug discovery,defined culture conditions are needed. Media of known composition that maintain human embryonic stem (hES) cells have been developed,but finding chemically defined,robust substrata has proven difficult. We used an array of self-assembled monolayers to identify peptide surfaces that sustain pluripotent stem cell self-renewal. The effective substrates displayed heparin-binding peptides,which can interact with cell-surface glycosaminoglycans and could be used with a defined medium to culture hES cells for more than 3 months. The resulting cells maintained a normal karyotype and had high levels of pluripotency markers. The peptides supported growth of eight pluripotent cell lines on a variety of scaffolds. Our results indicate that synthetic substrates that recognize cell-surface glycans can facilitate the long-term culture of pluripotent stem cells.

Marker-free coselection for CRISPR-driven genome editing in human cells.
Targeted genome editing enables the creation of bona fide cellular models for biological research and may be applied to human cell-based therapies. Therefore,broadly applicable and versatile methods for increasing its efficacy in cell populations are highly desirable. We designed a simple and robust coselection strategy for enrichment of cells with either nuclease-driven nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ) or homology-directed repair (HDR) events by harnessing the multiplexing capabilities of CRISPR-Cas9 and Cpf1 systems. Selection for dominant alleles of the ubiquitous sodium/potassium pump (Na+/K+ ATPase) that rendered cells resistant to ouabain was used to enrich for custom genetic modifications at another unlinked locus of interest,thereby effectively increasing the recovery of engineered cells. The process is readily adaptable to transformed and primary cells,including hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells. The use of universal CRISPR reagents and a commercially available small-molecule inhibitor streamlines the incorporation of marker-free genetic changes in human cells.

Methods for culturing mouse and human embryonic stem cells
Mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) were first derived and cultured almost 30 years ago and ever since have been valuable tools for creating knockout mice and for studying early mammalian development. More recently (1998),human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) have been derived from blastocysts,and numerous methods have evolved to culture hESCs in vitro in both complex and defined media. hESCs are especially important at this time as they could potentially be used to treat degenerative diseases and to access the toxicity of new drugs and environmental chemicals. For both human and mouse ESCs,fibroblast feeder layers are often used at some phase in the culturing protocol. The feeders - often mouse embryonic fibroblasts (mEFs) - provide a substrate that increases plating efficiency,helps maintain pluripotency,and facilitates survival and growth of the stem cells. Various protocols for culturing embryonic stem cells from both species are available with newer trends moving toward feeder-free and serum-free culture. The purpose of this chapter is to provide basic protocol information on the isolation of mouse embryonic fibroblasts and establishment of feeder layers,the culture of mESCs on both mEFs and on gelatin in serum-containing medium,and the culture of hESCs in defined media on both mEFs (hESC culture medium) and Matrigel (mTeSR). These basic protocols are intended for researchers wanting to develop stem cell research in their labs. These protocols have been tested in our laboratory and work well. They can be modified and adapted for any relevant user's particular purpose.

Targeted transduction of CD34+ hematopoietic progenitor cells in nonpurified human mobilized peripheral blood mononuclear cells.
BACKGROUND: Conventional gene-therapy applications of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) involve purification of CD34+ progenitor cells from the mobilized peripheral blood,ex vivo transduction of the gene of interest into them,and reinfusion of the transduced CD34+ progenitor cells into patients. Eliminating the process of purification would save labor,time and money,while enhancing HSCs viability,transplantability and pluripotency. Lentiviral vectors have been widely used in gene therapy because they infect both dividing and nondividing cells and provide sustained transgene expression. One of the exceptions to this rule is quiescent primary lymphocytes,in which reverse transcription of viral DNA is not completed. METHODS: In the present study,we tested the possibility of targeting CD34+ progenitor cells within nonpurified human mobilized peripheral blood mononuclear cells (mPBMCs) utilizing vesicular stomatitis virus G (VSV-G) pseudotyped lentiviral vectors,based on the assumption that the CD34+ progenitor cells would be preferentially transduced. To further enhance the specificity of vector transduction,we also examined utilizing a modified Sindbis virus envelope (2.2) pseudotyped lentiviral vector,developed in our laboratory,that allows targeted transduction to specific cell receptors via antibody recognition. RESULTS: Both the VSV-G and 2.2 pseudotyped vectors achieved measurable results when they were used to target CD34+ progenitor cells in nonpurified mPBMCs. CONCLUSIONS: Overall,the data obtained demonstrate the potential of ex vivo targeting of CD34+ progenitor cells without purification.

Developing defined culture systems for human pluripotent stem cells.
Human pluripotent stem cells hold promising potential in many therapeutics applications including regenerative medicine and drug discovery. Over the past three decades,embryonic stem cell research has illustrated that embryonic stem cells possess two important and distinct properties: the ability to continuously self-renew and the ability to differentiate into all specialized cell types. In this article,we will discuss the continuing evolution of human pluripotent stem cell culture by examining requirements needed for the maintenance of self-renewal in vitro. We will also elaborate on the future direction of the field toward generating a robust and completely defined culture system,which has brought forth collaborations amongst biologists and engineers. As human pluripotent stem cell research progresses towards identifying solutions for debilitating diseases,it will be critical to establish a defined,reproducible and scalable culture system to meet the requirements of these clinical applications.
