Evaluation of Stem Cell-Derived Red Blood Cells as a Transfusion Product Using a Novel Animal Model.
Reliance on volunteer blood donors can lead to transfusion product shortages,and current liquid storage of red blood cells (RBCs) is associated with biochemical changes over time,known as 'the storage lesion'. Thus,there is a need for alternative sources of transfusable RBCs to supplement conventional blood donations. Extracorporeal production of stem cell-derived RBCs (stemRBCs) is a potential and yet untapped source of fresh,transfusable RBCs. A number of groups have attempted RBC differentiation from CD34+ cells. However,it is still unclear whether these stemRBCs could eventually be effective substitutes for traditional RBCs due to potential differences in oxygen carrying capacity,viability,deformability,and other critical parameters. We have generated ex vivo stemRBCs from primary human cord blood CD34+ cells and compared them to donor-derived RBCs based on a number of in vitro parameters. In vivo,we assessed stemRBC circulation kinetics in an animal model of transfusion and oxygen delivery in a mouse model of exercise performance. Our novel,chronically anemic,SCID mouse model can evaluate the potential of stemRBCs to deliver oxygen to tissues (muscle) under resting and exercise-induced hypoxic conditions. Based on our data,stem cell-derived RBCs have a similar biochemical profile compared to donor-derived RBCs. While certain key differences remain between donor-derived RBCs and stemRBCs,the ability of stemRBCs to deliver oxygen in a living organism provides support for further development as a transfusion product.

OP9-Lhx2 stromal cells facilitate derivation of hematopoietic progenitors both in vitro and in vivo
Generating engraftable hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) from pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) is an ideal approach for obtaining induced HSCs for cell therapy. However,the path from PSCs to robustly induced HSCs (iHSCs) in vitro remains elusive. We hypothesize that the modification of hematopoietic niche cells by transcription factors facilitates the derivation of induced HSCs from PSCs. The Lhx2 transcription factor is expressed in fetal liver stromal cells but not in fetal blood cells. Knocking out Lhx2 leads to a fetal hematopoietic defect in a cell non-autonomous role. In this study,we demonstrate that the ectopic expression of Lhx2 in OP9 cells (OP9-Lhx2) accelerates the hematopoietic differentiation of PSCs. OP9-Lhx2 significantly increased the yields of hematopoietic progenitor cells via co-culture with PSCs in vitro. Interestingly,the co-injection of OP9-Lhx2 and PSCs into immune deficient mice also increased the proportion of hematopoietic progenitors via the formation of teratomas. The transplantation of phenotypic HSCs from OP9-Lhx2 teratomas but not from the OP9 control supported a transient repopulating capability. The upregulation of Apln gene by Lhx2 is correlated to the hematopoietic commitment property of OP9-Lhx2. Furthermore,the enforced expression of Apln in OP9 cells significantly increased the hematopoietic differentiation of PSCs. These results indicate that OP9-Lhx2 is a good cell line for regeneration of hematopoietic progenitors both in vitro and in vivo.

PPAR-α and glucocorticoid receptor synergize to promote erythroid progenitor self-renewal.
Many acute and chronic anaemias,including haemolysis,sepsis and genetic bone marrow failure diseases such as Diamond-Blackfan anaemia,are not treatable with erythropoietin (Epo),because the colony-forming unit erythroid progenitors (CFU-Es) that respond to Epo are either too few in number or are not sensitive enough to Epo to maintain sufficient red blood cell production. Treatment of these anaemias requires a drug that acts at an earlier stage of red cell formation and enhances the formation of Epo-sensitive CFU-E progenitors. Recently,we showed that glucocorticoids specifically stimulate self-renewal of an early erythroid progenitor,burst-forming unit erythroid (BFU-E),and increase the production of terminally differentiated erythroid cells. Here we show that activation of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPAR-α) by the PPAR-α agonists GW7647 and fenofibrate synergizes with the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) to promote BFU-E self-renewal. Over time these agonists greatly increase production of mature red blood cells in cultures of both mouse fetal liver BFU-Es and mobilized human adult CD34(+) peripheral blood progenitors,with a new and effective culture system being used for the human cells that generates normal enucleated reticulocytes. Although Ppara(-/-) mice show no haematological difference from wild-type mice in both normal and phenylhydrazine (PHZ)-induced stress erythropoiesis,PPAR-α agonists facilitate recovery of wild-type but not Ppara(-/-) mice from PHZ-induced acute haemolytic anaemia. We also show that PPAR-α alleviates anaemia in a mouse model of chronic anaemia. Finally,both in control and corticosteroid-treated BFU-E cells,PPAR-α co-occupies many chromatin sites with GR; when activated by PPAR-α agonists,additional PPAR-α is recruited to GR-adjacent sites and presumably facilitates GR-dependent BFU-E self-renewal. Our discovery of the role of PPAR-α agonists in stimulating self-renewal of early erythroid progenitor cells suggests that the clinically tested PPAR-α agonists we used may improve the efficacy of corticosteroids in treating Epo-resistant anaemias.

Intrinsic Immunity Shapes Viral Resistance of Stem Cells.
Stem cells are highly resistant to viral infection compared to their differentiated progeny; however,the mechanism is mysterious. Here,we analyzed gene expression in mammalian stem cells and cells at various stages of differentiation. We find that,conserved across species,stem cells express a subset of genes previously classified as interferon (IFN) stimulated genes (ISGs) but that expression is intrinsic,as stem cells are refractory to interferon. This intrinsic ISG expression varies in a cell-type-specific manner,and many ISGs decrease upon differentiation,at which time cells become IFN responsive,allowing induction of a broad spectrum of ISGs by IFN signaling. Importantly,we show that intrinsically expressed ISGs protect stem cells against viral infection. We demonstrate the in vivo importance of intrinsic ISG expression for protecting stem cells and their differentiation potential during viral infection. These findings have intriguing implications for understanding stem cell biology and the evolution of pathogen resistance.

Transduction of human CD34+ cells that mediate long-term engraftment of NOD/SCID mice by HIV vectors.
Efficient gene transfer into human hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) is an important goal in the study of the hematopoietic system as well as for gene therapy of hematopoietic disorders. A lentiviral vector based on the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) was able to transduce human CD34+ cells capable of stable,long-term reconstitution of nonobese diabetic/severe combined immunodeficient (NOD/SCID) mice. High-efficiency transduction occurred in the absence of cytokine stimulation and resulted in transgene expression in multiple lineages of human hematopoietic cells for up to 22 weeks after transplantation.

TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) is expressed throughout myeloid development, resulting in a broad distribution among neutrophil granules.
TRAIL induces apoptosis in a variety of tumor cells. Our laboratory found that human neutrophils contain an intracellular reservoir of prefabricated TRAIL that is released after stimulation with Mycobacterium bovis bacillus Calmette-Guérin. In this study,we examined the subcellular distribution of TRAIL in freshly isolated neutrophils. Neutrophil granules,secretory vesicles (SV),and plasma membrane vesicles were isolated by subcellular fractionation,followed by free-flow electrophoresis,and examined by ELISA and immunoblot. TRAIL was found in all membrane-bound fractions with the highest amounts in the fractions enriched in azurophilic granule (AG) and SV. Immunofluorescence confocal microscopy showed that TRAIL colocalized independently with myeloperoxidase (MPO),lactoferrin (LF),and albumin,respective markers of AG,specific granules,and SV. Furthermore,immunotransmission electron microscopy demonstrated that TRAIL colocalized intracellularly with MPO and albumin. We examined TRAIL expression in PLB-985 cells induced with dimethylformamide and in CD34-positive stem cells treated with G-CSF. Quantitative RT-PCR analysis showed that TRAIL was expressed in each stage of development,whereas MPO and LF were only expressed at distinct times during differentiation. Collectively,these findings suggest that TRAIL is expressed throughout neutrophil development,resulting in a broad distribution among different granule subtypes.

Tescalcin is an essential factor in megakaryocytic differentiation associated with Ets family gene expression.
We show here that the process of megakaryocytic differentiation requires the presence of the recently discovered protein tescalcin. Tescalcin is dramatically upregulated during the differentiation and maturation of primary megakaryocytes or upon PMA-induced differentiation of K562 cells. This upregulation requires sustained signaling through the ERK pathway. Overexpression of tescalcin in K562 cells initiates events of spontaneous megakaryocytic differentiation,such as expression of specific cell surface antigens,inhibition of cell proliferation,and polyploidization. Conversely,knockdown of this protein in primary CD34+ hematopoietic progenitors and cell lines by RNA interference suppresses megakaryocytic differentiation. In cells lacking tescalcin,the expression of Fli-1,Ets-1,and Ets-2 transcription factors,but not GATA-1 or MafB,is blocked. Thus,tescalcin is essential for the coupling of ERK cascade activation with the expression of Ets family genes in megakaryocytic differentiation.

Overexpression of CDX2 perturbs HOX gene expression in murine progenitors depending on its N-terminal domain and is closely correlated with deregulated HOX gene expression in human acute myeloid leukemia.
The mechanisms underlying deregulation of HOX gene expression in AML are poorly understood. The ParaHox gene CDX2 was shown to act as positive upstream regulator of several HOX genes. In this study,constitutive expression of Cdx2 caused perturbation of leukemogenic Hox genes such as Hoxa10 and Hoxb8 in murine hematopoietic progenitors. Deletion of the N-terminal domain of Cdx2 abrogated its ability to perturb Hox gene expression and to cause acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in mice. In contrast inactivation of the putative Pbx interacting site of Cdx2 did not change the leukemogenic potential of the gene. In an analysis of 115 patients with AML,expression levels of CDX2 were closely correlated with deregulated HOX gene expression. Patients with normal karyotype showed a 14-fold higher expression of CDX2 and deregulated HOX gene expression compared with patients with chromosomal translocations such as t(8:21) or t(15;17). All patients with AML with normal karyotype tested were negative for CDX1 and CDX4 expression. These data link the leukemogenic potential of Cdx2 to its ability to dysregulate Hox genes. They furthermore correlate the level of CDX2 expression with HOX gene expression in human AML and support a potential role of CDX2 in the development of human AML with aberrant Hox gene expression.

Wnt5a inhibits canonical Wnt signaling in hematopoietic stem cells and enhances repopulation.
The mechanisms that regulate hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) fate decisions between proliferation and multilineage differentiation are unclear. Members of the Wnt family of ligands that activate the canonical Wnt signaling pathway,which utilizes beta-catenin to relay the signal,have been demonstrated to regulate HSC function. In this study,we examined the role of noncanonical Wnt signaling in regulating HSC fate. We observed that noncanonical Wnt5a inhibited Wnt3a-mediated canonical Wnt signaling in HSCs and suppressed Wnt3a-mediated alterations in gene expression associated with HSC differentiation,such as increased expression of myc. Wnt5a increased short- and long-term HSC repopulation by maintaining HSCs in a quiescent G(0) state. From these data,we propose that Wnt5a regulates hematopoiesis by the antagonism of the canonical Wnt pathway,resulting in a pool of quiescent HSCs.

Bioreactor expansion of human adult bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells.
Supplementation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) during hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) transplantation alleviates complications such as graft-versus-host disease,leading to a speedy recovery of hematopoiesis. To meet this clinical demand,a fast MSC expansion method is required. In the present study,we examined the feasibility of using a rotary bioreactor system to expand MSCs from isolated bone marrow mononuclear cells. The cells were cultured in a rotary bioreactor with Myelocult medium containing a combination of supplementary factors,including stem cell factor and interleukin-3 and -6. After 8 days of culture,total cell numbers,Stro-1(+)CD44(+)CD34(-) MSCs,and CD34(+)CD44(+)Stro-1(-) HSCs were increased 9-,29-,and 8-fold,respectively. Colony-forming efficiency-fibroblast per day of the bioreactor-treated cells was 1.44-fold higher than that of the cells without bioreactor treatment. The bioreactor-expanded MSCs showed expression of primitive MSC markers endoglin (SH2) and vimentin,whereas markers associated with lineage differentiation,including osteocalcin (osteogenesis),type II collagen (chondrogenesis),and C/EBP-alpha (CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein-alpha) (adipogenesis),were not detected. Upon induction,the bioreactor-expanded MSCs were able to differentiate into osteoblasts,chondrocytes,and adipocytes. We conclude that the rotary bioreactor with the modified Myelocult medium reported in this study may be used to rapidly expand MSCs.

Ex vivo rapamycin generates apoptosis-resistant donor Th2 cells that persist in vivo and prevent hemopoietic stem cell graft rejection.
Because ex vivo rapamycin generates murine Th2 cells that prevent Graft-versus-host disease more potently than control Th2 cells,we hypothesized that rapamycin would generate Th2/Tc2 cells (Th2/Tc2.R cells) that abrogate fully MHC-disparate hemopoietic stem cell rejection more effectively than control Th2/Tc2 cells. In a B6-into-BALB/c graft rejection model,donor Th2/Tc2.R cells were indeed enriched in their capacity to prevent rejection; importantly,highly purified CD4+ Th2.R cells were also highly efficacious for preventing rejection. Rapamycin-generated Th2/Tc2 cells were less likely to die after adoptive transfer,accumulated in vivo at advanced proliferative cycles,and were present in 10-fold higher numbers than control Th2/Tc2 cells. Th2.R cells had a multifaceted,apoptosis-resistant phenotype,including: 1) reduced apoptosis after staurosporine addition,serum starvation,or CD3/CD28 costimulation; 2) reduced activation of caspases 3 and 9; and 3) increased anti-apoptotic Bcl-xL expression and reduced proapoptotic Bim and Bid expression. Using host-versus-graft reactivity as an immune correlate of graft rejection,we found that the in vivo efficacy of Th2/Tc2.R cells 1) did not require Th2/Tc2.R cell expression of IL-4,IL-10,perforin,or Fas ligand; 2) could not be reversed by IL-2,IL-7,or IL-15 posttransplant therapy; and 3) was intact after therapy with Th2.R cells relatively devoid of Foxp3 expression. We conclude that ex vivo rapamycin generates Th2 cells that are resistant to apoptosis,persist in vivo,and effectively prevent rejection by a mechanism that may be distinct from previously described graft-facilitating T cells.

Nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT) mediates CD154 expression in megakaryocytes.
Platelets are an abundant source of CD40 ligand (CD154),an immunomodulatory and proinflammatory molecule implicated in the onset and progression of several inflammatory diseases,including systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE),diabetes,and cardiovascular disease. Heretofore considered largely restricted to activated T cells,we initiated studies to investigate the source and regulation of platelet-associated CD154. We found that CD154 is abundantly expressed in platelet precursor cells,megakaryocytes. We show that CD154 is expressed in primary human CD34+ and murine hematopoietic precursor cells only after cytokine-driven megakaryocyte differentiation. Furthermore,using several established megakaryocyte-like cells lines,we performed promoter analysis of the CD154 gene and found that NFAT,a calcium-dependent transcriptional regulator associated with activated T cells,mediated both differentiation-dependent and inducible megakaryocyte-specific CD154 expression. Overall,these data represent the first investigation of the regulation of a novel source of CD154 and suggests that platelet-associated CD154 can be biochemically modulated.
