HOXB4-induced self-renewal of hematopoietic stem cells is significantly enhanced by p21 deficiency.
Enforced expression of the HOXB4 transcription factor and downregulation of p21(Cip1/Waf) (p21) can each independently increase proliferation of murine hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). We asked whether the increase in HSC self-renewal generated by overexpression of HOXB4 is enhanced in p21-deficient HSCs. HOXB4 was overexpressed in hematopoietic cells from wild-type (wt) and p21-/- mice. Bone marrow (BM) cells were transduced with a retroviral vector expressing HOXB4 together with GFP (MIGB4),or a control vector containing GFP alone (MIG) and maintained in liquid culture for up to 11 days. At day 11 of the expansion culture,the number of primary CFU-GM (colony-forming unit granulocyte-macrophage) colonies and the repopulating ability were significantly increased in MIGB4 p21-/- BM (p21B4) cells compared with MIGB4-transduced wt BM (wtB4) cells. To test proliferation of HSCs in vivo,we performed competitive repopulation experiments and obtained significantly higher long-term engraftment of expanded p21B4 cells compared with wtB4 cells. The 5-day expansion of p21B4 HSCs generated 100-fold higher numbers of competitive repopulating units compared with wtMIG and threefold higher numbers compared with wtB4. The findings demonstrate that increased expression of HOXB4,in combination with suppression of p21 expression,could be a useful strategy for effective and robust expansion of HSCs.

Discovery of a CXCR4 agonist pepducin that mobilizes bone marrow hematopoietic cells.
The G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR),chemokine CXC-type receptor 4 (CXCR4),and its ligand,CXCL12,mediate the retention of polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) and hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) in the bone marrow. Agents that disrupt CXCL12-mediated chemoattraction of CXCR4-expressing cells mobilize PMNs and HSPCs into the peripheral circulation and are therapeutically useful for HSPC collection before autologous bone marrow transplantation (ABMT). Our aim was to develop unique CXCR4-targeted therapeutics using lipopeptide GPCR modulators called pepducins. A pepducin is a synthetic molecule composed of a peptide derived from the amino acid sequence of one of the intracellular (IC) loops of a target GPCR coupled to a lipid tether. We prepared and screened a small CXCR4-targeted pepducin library and identified several pepducins with in vitro agonist activity,including ATI-2341,whose peptide sequence derives from the first IC loop. ATI-2341 induced CXCR4- and G protein-dependent signaling,receptor internalization,and chemotaxis in CXCR4-expressing cells. It also induced dose-dependent peritoneal recruitment of PMNs when administered i.p. to mice. However,when administered systemically by i.v. bolus,ATI-2341 acted as a functional antagonist and dose-dependently mediated release of PMNs from the bone marrow of both mice and cynomolgus monkeys. ATI-2341-mediated release of granulocyte/macrophage progenitor cells from the bone marrow was confirmed by colony-forming assays. We conclude that ATI-2341 is a potent and efficacious mobilizer of bone marrow PMNs and HSPCs and could represent a previously undescribed therapeutic approach for the recruitment of HSPCs before ABMT.

Immunity & ageing : I & A 19 1 51
Ageing-resembling phenotype of long-term allogeneic hematopoietic cells recipients compared to their donors.
BACKGROUND Ageing is a complex phenomenon that leads to decreased proliferative activity,loss of function of the cells,and cellular senescence. Senescence of the immune system exacerbates individual's immune response,both humoral and cellular but increases the frequency of infections. We hypothesized that physiological ageing of adaptive immune system occurs in recipients of allogeneic hematopoietic cells transplant (allo-HCT) at faster rate when compared to their respective donors since the small number of donor cells undergo immense proliferative stress restoring recipients hematopoiesis. We compared molecular characterizations of ageing between recipients and donors of allo-HCT: telomeric length and immunophenotypic changes in main lymphocyte subsets - CD4+,CD8+,CD19+,CD56+. RESULTS Median telomeric length (TL) of CD8+ lymphocytes was significantly longer in donors compared to recipients (on average 2,1 kb and 1,7 kb respectively,p??=??0,02). Similar trends were observed for CD4+ and CD19+ although the results did not reach statistical significance. We have also found trends in the immunophenotype between recipients and donors in the subpopulations of CD4+ (na{\{i}}ve and effector memory) CD8+ Eomes+ and B-lymphocytes (B1 and B2). Lower infection risk recipients had also a significantly greater percentage of NK cells (22 3%) than high-risk patients (9 3%) p??=??0 04. CONCLUSION Our data do not support the initial hypothesis of accelerated aging in the long term all-HCT recipients with the exception of the recipients lymphocytes (mainly CD8+) which present some molecular features characteristic for physiological ageing (telomeric shortening immunophenotype) when compared to their respective donors. However a history of lower infection numbers in HCT recipients seems to be associated with increased percentage of NK cells. The history of GVHD seems not to affect the rate of ageing. Therefore it is safe to conclude that the observed subtle differences between recipients' and donors' cells result mainly from the proliferative stress in the early period after allo-HCT and the difference between hosts' and recipients' microenvironments."

Optimization of seeding density of OP9 cells to improve hematopoietic differentiation efficiency
BackgroundOP9 mouse stromal cell line has been widely used to induce differentiation of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) into hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs). However,the whole co-culture procedure usually needs 14–18 days,including preparing OP9 cells at least 4 days. Therefore,the inefficient differentiation system is not appreciated. We aimed to optimize the culture conditions to improve differentiation efficiency.MethodsIn the experimental group,we set six different densities of OP9 cells and just cultured them for 24 h before co-culture,and in the control group,OP9 cells were cultured for 4 days to reach an overgrown state before co-culture. Then we compared the hematopoietic differentiation efficiency among them.ResultsOP9 cells were randomly assigned into two groups. In the experimental group,six different plated numbers of OP9 cells were cultured for 1 day before co-culture with hESCs. In contrast,in the control group,OP9 cells were cultured for 4 days at a total number of 3.1 × 104 cells/cm2 in a 6-well plate to reach an overgrown state before co-culture. Hematopoietic differentiation was evaluated with CD34 immunostaining,and compared between these two groups. We could not influence the differentiation efficiency of OP9 cells with a total number of 10.4 × 104 cells/cm2 in a 6-well plate which was cultured just for 1 day,followed by co-culture with hESCs. It reached the same differentiation efficiency 5 days earlier than the control group.ConclusionThe peak of CD34 + cells appeared 2 days earlier compared to the control group. A total number of 1.0 × 106 cells in a 6-well plate for OP9 cells was appropriate to have high differentiation efficiency.

Despite mutation acquisition in hematopoietic stem cells, JMML-propagating cells are not always restricted to this compartment.
Juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML) is a rare aggressive myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasm of early childhood,initiated by RAS-activating mutations. Genomic analyses have recently described JMML mutational landscape; however,the nature of JMML-propagating cells (JMML-PCs) and the clonal architecture of the disease remained until now elusive. Combining genomic (exome,RNA-seq),Colony forming assay and xenograft studies,we detect the presence of JMML-PCs that faithfully reproduce JMML features including the complex/nonlinear organization of dominant/minor clones,both at diagnosis and relapse. Further integrated analysis also reveals that although the mutations are acquired in hematopoietic stem cells,JMML-PCs are not always restricted to this compartment,highlighting the heterogeneity of the disease during the initiation steps. We show that the hematopoietic stem/progenitor cell phenotype is globally maintained in JMML despite overexpression of CD90/THY-1 in a subset of patients. This study shed new lights into the ontogeny of JMML,and the identity of JMML-PCs,and provides robust models to monitor the disease and test novel therapeutic approaches.

Clump passaging and expansion of human embryonic and induced pluripotent stem cells on mouse embryonic fibroblast feeder cells.
The ability of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) to differentiate into essentially all somatic cell types has made them a valuable tool for studying human development and has positioned them for broad applications in toxicology,regenerative medicine,and drug discovery. This unit describes a protocol for the large-scale expansion and maintenance of hESCs in vitro. hESC cultures must maintain a balance between the cellular states of pluripotency and differentiation; thus,researchers must use care when growing these technically demanding cells. The culture system is based largely on the use of a proprietary serum-replacement product and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF),with mouse embryonic fibroblasts as a feeder layer. These conditions provide the basis for relatively inexpensive maintenance and expansion of hESCs,as well as their engineered counterparts,human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs).

Fetal liver cells transplanted in utero rescue the osteopetrotic phenotype in the oc/oc mouse.
Autosomal recessive osteopetrosis (ARO) is a group of genetic disorders that involve defects that preclude the normal function of osteoclasts,which differentiate from hematopoietic precursors. In half of human cases,ARO is the result of mutations in the TCIRG1 gene,which codes for a subunit of the vacuolar proton pump that plays a fundamental role in the acidification of the cell-bone interface. Functional mutations of this pump severely impair the resorption of bone mineral. Although postnatal hematopoietic stem cell transplantation can partially rescue the hematological phenotype of ARO,other stigmata of the disease,such as secondary neurological and growth defects,are not reversed. For this reason,ARO is a paradigm for genetic diseases that would benefit from effective prenatal treatment. Using the oc/oc mutant mouse,a murine model whose osteopetrotic phenotype closely recapitulates human TCIRG1-dependent ARO,we report that in utero transplantation of adult bone marrow hematopoietic stem cells can correct the ARO phenotype in a limited number of mice. Here we report that in utero injection of allogeneic fetal liver cells,which include hematopoietic stem cells,into oc/oc mouse fetuses at 13.5 days post coitum produces a high level of engraftment,and the oc/oc phenotype is completely rescued in a high percentage of these mice. Therefore,oc/oc pathology appears to be particularly sensitive to this form of early treatment of the ARO genetic disorder.

GATA-2 plays two functionally distinct roles during the ontogeny of hematopoietic stem cells.
GATA-2 is an essential transcription factor in the hematopoietic system that is expressed in hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and progenitors. Complete deficiency of GATA-2 in the mouse leads to severe anemia and embryonic lethality. The role of GATA-2 and dosage effects of this transcription factor in HSC development within the embryo and adult are largely unexplored. Here we examined the effects of GATA-2 gene dosage on the generation and expansion of HSCs in several hematopoietic sites throughout mouse development. We show that a haploid dose of GATA-2 severely reduces production and expansion of HSCs specifically in the aorta-gonad-mesonephros region (which autonomously generates the first HSCs),whereas quantitative reduction of HSCs is minimal or unchanged in yolk sac,fetal liver,and adult bone marrow. However,HSCs in all these ontogenically distinct anatomical sites are qualitatively defective in serial or competitive transplantation assays. Also,cytotoxic drug-induced regeneration studies show a clear GATA-2 dose-related proliferation defect in adult bone marrow. Thus,GATA-2 plays at least two functionally distinct roles during ontogeny of HSCs: the production and expansion of HSCs in the aorta-gonad-mesonephros and the proliferation of HSCs in the adult bone marrow.
