Defined and serum-free media support undifferentiated human embryonic stem cell growth.
Four commercially available serum-free and defined culture media tested on 2 human embryonic stem cell (hESC) lines were all found to support undifferentiated growth for textgreater10 continuous passages. For hESC cultured with defined StemPro and mTeSR1 media,the cells were maintained feeder-free on culture dishes coated with extracellular matrices (ECMs) with no requirement of feeder-conditioned media (CM). For xeno-free serum replacer (XSR),HEScGRO,and KnockOut media,mitotically inactivated human foreskin feeders (hFFs) were required for hESC growth. Under the different media conditions,cells continued to exhibit alkaline phosphatase activity and expressed undifferentiated hESC markers Oct-4,stage-specific embryonic antigens 4 (SSEA-4),and Tra-1-60. In addition,hESC maintained the expression of podocalyxin-like protein-1 (PODXL),an antigen recently reported in another study to be present in undifferentiated hESC. The cytotoxic antibody mAb 84 binds via PODXL expressed on hESC surface and kills textgreater90% of hESC within 45 min of incubation. When these cells were spontaneously differentiated to form embryoid bodies,derivatives representing the 3 germ layers were obtained. Injection of hESC into animal models resulted in teratomas and the formation of tissue types indicative of ectodermal,endodermal,and mesodermal lineages were observed. Our data also suggested that StemPro and mTeSR1 media were more optimal for hESC proliferation compared to cells grown on CM because the growth rate of hESC increased by 30%-40%,higher split ratio was thus required for weekly passaging. This is advantageous for the large-scale cultivation of hESC required in clinical applications.

Hematopoietic and endothelial differentiation of human induced pluripotent stem cells.
Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) provide an unprecedented opportunity for modeling of human diseases in vitro,as well as for developing novel approaches for regenerative therapy based on immunologically compatible cells. In this study,we employed an OP9 differentiation system to characterize the hematopoietic and endothelial differentiation potential of seven human iPSC lines obtained from human fetal,neonatal,and adult fibroblasts through reprogramming with POU5F1,SOX2,NANOG,and LIN28 and compared it with the differentiation potential of five human embryonic stem cell lines (hESC,H1,H7,H9,H13,and H14). Similar to hESCs,all iPSCs generated CD34(+)CD43(+) hematopoietic progenitors and CD31(+)CD43(-) endothelial cells in coculture with OP9. When cultured in semisolid media in the presence of hematopoietic growth factors,iPSC-derived primitive blood cells formed all types of hematopoietic colonies,including GEMM colony-forming cells. Human induced pluripotent cells (hiPSCs)-derived CD43(+) cells could be separated into the following phenotypically defined subsets of primitive hematopoietic cells: CD43(+)CD235a(+)CD41a(+/-) (erythro-megakaryopoietic),lin(-)CD34(+)CD43(+)CD45(-) (multipotent),and lin(-)CD34(+)CD43(+)CD45(+) (myeloid-skewed) cells. Although we observed some variations in the efficiency of hematopoietic differentiation between different hiPSCs,the pattern of differentiation was very similar in all seven tested lines obtained through reprogramming of human fetal,neonatal,or adult fibroblasts with three or four genes. Although several issues remain to be resolved before iPSC-derived blood cells can be administered to humans for therapeutic purposes,patient-specific iPSCs can already be used for characterization of mechanisms of blood diseases and for identification of molecules that can correct affected genetic networks.

Expansion in vitro of retrovirally marked totipotent hematopoietic stem cells.
A large number of biologic,technological,and clinical studies await the development of procedures that will allow totipotent hematopoietic stem cells to be expanded in vitro. Previous work has suggested that hematopoiesis can be reconstituted using transplants of cells from long-term marrow cultures. We have used retrovirus mediated gene transfer to demonstrate that marked totipotent hematopoietic stem cells are both maintained and can be amplified in such cultures,and then subsequently regenerate and sustain lympho-myeloid hematopoiesis in irradiated recipients. Marrow cells from 5-fluorouracil-treated male mice were infected with a recombinant virus carrying the neomycin resistence gene and seeded onto irradiated adherent layers of pre-established,long-term marrow cultures of female origin. At 4 weeks,cells from individual cultures were transplanted into single or multiple female recipients. Southern blot analysis of hematopoietic tissue 45 days posttransplantation showed retrovirally marked clones common to lymphoid and myeloid tissues in 14 of 23 mice examined. Strikingly,for 3 of 4 long-term cultures,multiple recipients of cells from a single flask showed marrow and thymus repopulation with the same unique retrovirally marked clone. These results establish the feasibility of retroviral-marking techniques to demonstrate the maintenance of totipotent lympho-myeloid stem cells for at least 4 weeks in the long-term marrow culture system and provide the first evidence of their proliferation in vitro. Therefore,such cultures may serve as a starting point for identifying factors that stimulate totipotent hematopoietic stem cell expansion.

A critical role for SHP2 in STAT5 activation and growth factor-mediated proliferation, survival, and differentiation of human CD34+ cells.
SHP2,a cytoplasmic protein-tyrosine phosphatase encoded by the PTPN11 gene,plays a critical role in developmental hematopoiesis in the mouse,and gain-of-function mutations of SHP2 are associated with hematopoietic malignancies. However,the role of SHP2 in adult hematopoiesis has not been addressed in previous studies. In addition,the role of SHP2 in human hematopoiesis has not been described. These questions are of considerable importance given the interest in development of SHP2 inhibitors for cancer treatment. We used shRNA-mediated inhibition of SHP2 expression to investigate the function of SHP2 in growth factor (GF) signaling in normal human CD34(+) cells. SHP2 knockdown resulted in markedly reduced proliferation and survival of cells cultured with GF,and reduced colony-forming cell growth. Cells expressing gain-of-function SHP2 mutations demonstrated increased dependency on SHP2 expression for survival compared with cells expressing wild-type SHP2. SHP2 knockdown was associated with significantly reduced myeloid and erythroid differentiation with retention of CD34(+) progenitors with enhanced proliferative capacity. Inhibition of SHP2 expression initially enhanced and later inhibited STAT5 phosphorylation and reduced expression of the antiapoptotic genes MCL1 and BCLXL. These results indicate an important role for SHP2 in STAT5 activation and GF-mediated proliferation,survival,and differentiation of human progenitor cells.

A differential requirement for ciliary transition zone proteins in human and mouse neural progenitor fate specification
Studying ciliary genes in the context of the human central nervous system is crucial for understanding the underlying causes of neurodevelopmental ciliopathies. Here,we use pluripotent stem cell-derived spinal organoids to reveal distinct functions of the ciliopathy gene RPGRIP1L in humans and mice,and uncover an unexplored role for cilia in human axial patterning. Previous research has emphasized Rpgrip1l critical functions in mouse brain and spinal cord development through the regulation of SHH/GLI pathway. Here,we show that RPGRIP1L is not required for SHH activation or motoneuron lineage commitment in human spinal progenitors and that this feature is shared by another ciliopathy gene,TMEM67 . Furthermore,human RPGRIP1L -mutant motoneurons adopt hindbrain and cervical identities instead of caudal brachial identity. Temporal transcriptome analysis reveals that this antero-posterior patterning defect originates in early axial progenitors and correlates with cilia loss. These findings provide important insights into the role of cilia in human neural development. Subject terms: Ciliogenesis,Pattern formation,Pluripotent stem cells,Neurogenesis

Enhanced hematopoietic differentiation of embryonic stem cells conditionally expressing Stat5.
The signal transducer Stat5 plays a key role in the regulation of hematopoietic differentiation and hematopoietic stem cell function. To evaluate the effects of Stat5 signaling in the earliest hematopoietic progenitors,we have generated an embryonic stem cell line in which Stat5 signaling can be induced with doxycycline. Ectopic Stat5 activation at the point of origin of the hematopoietic lineage (from day 4 to day 6 of embryoid body differentiation) significantly enhances the number of hematopoietic progenitors with colony-forming potential. It does so without significantly altering total numbers or apoptosis of hematopoietic cells,suggesting a cell-intrinsic effect of Stat5 on either the developmental potential or clonogenicity of this population. From day-6 embryoid bodies,under the influence of Stat5 signaling,a population of semiadherent cells can be expanded on OP9 stromal cells that is comprised of primitive hematopoietic blast cells with ongoing,mainly myeloid,differentiation. When these cells are injected into lethally irradiated mice,they engraft transiently in a doxycycline-dependent manner. These results demonstrate that the hematopoietic commitment of embryonic stem cells may be augmented by a Stat5-mediated signal,and highlight the utility of manipulating individual components of signaling pathways for engineering tissue-specific differentiation of stem cells.

Valproic acid stimulates proliferation and self-renewal of hematopoietic stem cells.
Histone deacetylase inhibitors have attracted considerable attention because of their ability to overcome the differentiation block in leukemic blasts,an effect achieved either alone or in combination with differentiating agents,such as all-trans retinoic acid. We have previously reported favorable effects of the potent histone deacetylase inhibitor valproic acid in combination with all-trans retinoic acid in patients with advanced acute myeloid leukemia leading to blast cell reduction and improvement of hemoglobin. These effects were accompanied by hypergranulocytosis most likely due to an enhancement of nonleukemic myelopoiesis and the suppression of malignant hematopoiesis rather than enforced differentiation of the leukemic cells. These data prompted us to investigate the effect of valproic acid on normal hematopoietic stem cells (HSC). Here we show that valproic acid increases both proliferation and self-renewal of HSC. It accelerates cell cycle progression of HSC accompanied by a down-regulation of p21(cip-1/waf-1). Furthermore,valproic acid inhibits GSK3beta by phosphorylation on Ser9 accompanied by an activation of the Wnt signaling pathway as well as by an up-regulation of HoxB4,a target gene of Wnt signaling. Both are known to directly stimulate the proliferation of HSC and to expand the HSC pool. In summary,we here show that valproic acid,known to induce differentiation or apoptosis in leukemic blasts,stimulates the proliferation of normal HSC,an effect with a potential effect on its future role in the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia.

Aged marrow macrophages expand platelet-biased hematopoietic stem cells via Interleukin1B.
The bone marrow microenvironment (BMME) contributes to the regulation of hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) function,though its role in age-associated lineage skewing is poorly understood. Here we show that dysfunction of aged marrow macrophages (Mphis) directs HSC platelet-bias. Mphis from the marrow of aged mice and humans exhibited an activated phenotype,with increased expression of inflammatory signals. Aged marrow Mphis also displayed decreased phagocytic function. Senescent neutrophils,typically cleared by marrow Mphis,were markedly increased in aged mice,consistent with functional defects in Mphi phagocytosis and efferocytosis. In aged mice,Interleukin 1B (IL1B) was elevated in the bone marrow and caspase 1 activity,which can process pro-IL1B,was increased in marrow Mphis and neutrophils. Mechanistically,IL1B signaling was necessary and sufficient to induce a platelet bias in HSCs. In young mice,depletion of phagocytic cell populations or loss of the efferocytic receptor Axl expanded platelet-biased HSCs. Our data support a model wherein increased inflammatory signals and decreased phagocytic function of aged marrow Mphis induce the acquisition of platelet bias in aged HSCs. This work highlights the instructive role of Mphis and IL1B in the age-associated lineage-skewing of HSCs,and reveals the therapeutic potential of their manipulation as antigeronic targets.
