Before And After

Abstract The first adult-repopulating hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are detected starting at day 10.5 of gestation in the aorta-gonads-mesonephros (AGM) region of the mouse embryo. Despite the importance of the AGM in initiating HSC production, very little is currently known about the regulators that control HSC emergence in this region. We have therefore further defined the location of HSCs in the AGM and incorporated this information into a spatial and temporal comparative gene expression analysis of the AGM. The comparisons included gene expression profiling (1) in the newly identified HSC-containing region compared with the region devoid of HSCs, (2) before and after HSC emergence in the AGM microenvironment, and (3) on populations enriched for HSCs and their putative precursors. Two genes found to be up-regulated at the time and place where HSCs are first detected, the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p57Kip2/Cdkn1c and the insulin-like growth factor 2, were chosen for further analysis. We demonstrate here that they play a novel role in AGM hematopoiesis. Interestingly, many genes involved in the development of the tissues surrounding the dorsal aorta are also up-regulated during HSC emergence, suggesting that the regulation of HSC generation occurs in coordination with the development of other organs.

Once removed from the follicle, mammalian oocytes resume meiosis spontaneously and progress through breakdown of the germinal vesicle to the matured state at metaphase II. The ability to reversibly inhibit such meiotic resumption has been reported and is a potentially useful method for studying developmental competence acquisition in oocytes as well as in some cases allowing flexibility in an IVF system where oocytes are collected from distant locations or on different days. The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of temporary inhibition of meiotic resumption using the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor butyrolactone I (BLI) on gene expression in bovine oocytes. Immature bovine oocytes were recovered from the ovaries of slaughtered heifers at a commercial abattoir and assigned to 1 of 4 groups: (1) Control: immature oocytes were collected either immediately or (2) after IVM for 24 h in TCM-199 containing 10 ng mL-1 EGF and 10% (v/v) FCS, (3) Inhibited oocytes collected either 24 h after incubation in the presence of 100 μM BLI in TCM-199 with 3 mg mL-1 BSA or (4) after meiotic inhibition for 24 h followed by in vitro maturation. All cultures were carried out at 38.5°C under 5% CO2 in air and maximum humidity. For mRNA relative abundance analysis, cumulus cells were removed and pools of 10 denuded oocytes were snap frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80°C until use. A total of 42 transcripts, previously reported to be related to cell cycle regulation and/or oocyte competence were evaluated by quantitative real time PCR. Differences in relative abundance were analyzed by ANOVA and Student’s t-test. The majority of transcripts were downregulated (P < 0.05) after IVM in control oocytes (23 out of 42) and the same pattern was observed in inhibited oocytes that were allowed to mature. Twelve transcripts remained stable (P > 0.05) after IVM in control oocytes; of these, only two (PTTG1 and INHBA) did not show the same pattern in inhibited and matured oocytes. Few genes (7) were upregulated after IVM in control oocytes (P < 0.05) and of these, three (PLAT1, RBP1, and INHBB) were not upregulated in inhibited oocytes after IVM. Inhibited oocytes showed similar levels of expression (P > 0.05) as immature control oocytes, except for two genes (LUM and INHBB), which were increased in these oocytes (P < 0.05). The expression profiles of cell cycle genes were mostly unaffected by the BLI treatment. The few genes affected were previously reported as competence-related and could be useful markers of oocyte competence following pretreatment. In conclusion, the changes occurring in transcript abundance during oocyte maturation in vitro were to a large extent mirrored following inhibition of meiotic resumption prior to IVM and subsequent release from inhibition and maturation.

Abstract FLT3, DNMT3A, and NPM1 are the most frequently mutated genes in cytogenetically normal acute myeloid leukemia (AML), but little is known about how these mutations synergize upon cooccurrence. Here we show that triple-mutated AML is characterized by high leukemia stem cell (LSC) frequency, an aberrant leukemia-specific GPR56highCD34low immunophenotype, and synergistic upregulation of Hepatic Leukemia Factor (HLF). Cell sorting based on the LSC marker GPR56 allowed isolation of triple-mutated from DNMT3A/NPM1 double-mutated subclones. Moreover, in DNMT3A R882-mutated patients, CpG hypomethylation at the HLF transcription start site correlated with high HLF mRNA expression, which was itself associated with poor survival. Loss of HLF via CRISPR/Cas9 significantly reduced the CD34+GPR56+ LSC compartment of primary human triple-mutated AML cells in serial xenotransplantation assays. HLF knockout cells were more actively cycling when freshly harvested from mice, but rapidly exhausted when reintroduced in culture. RNA sequencing of primary human triple-mutated AML cells after shRNA-mediated HLF knockdown revealed the NOTCH target Hairy and Enhancer of Split 1 (HES1) and the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor CDKN1C/p57 as novel targets of HLF, potentially mediating these effects. Overall, our data establish HLF as a novel LSC regulator in this genetically defined high-risk AML subgroup.

c-Myc plays a major role in the maintenance of glycolytic metabolism and hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) quiescence. Targeting modulators of HSC quiescence and metabolism could lead to HSC cell cycle entry with concomitant expansion. Here we show that c-Myc inhibitor 10074-G5 treatment leads to 2-fold increase in murine LSKCD34low HSC compartment post 7 days. In addition, c-Myc inhibition increases CD34+ and CD133+ human HSC number. c-Myc inhibition leads to downregulation of glycolytic and cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor (CDKI) gene expression ex vivo and in vivo. In addition, c-Myc inhibition upregulates major HDR modulator Rad51 expression in hematopoietic cells. Besides, c-Myc inhibition does not alter proliferation kinetics of endothelial cells, fibroblasts or adipose derived mesenchymal stem cells, however; it limits bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cell proliferation. We further demonstrate that a cocktail of c-Myc inhibitor 10074-G5 along with tauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA) and i-NOS inhibitor L-NIL provides a robust HSC maintenance and expansion ex vivo as evident by induction of all stem cell antigens analyzed. Intriguingly, the cocktail of c-Myc inhibitor 10074-G5, TUDCA and L-NIL improves HDR related gene expression. These findings provide tools to improve ex vivo HSC maintenance and expansion, autologous HSC transplantation and gene editing through modulation of HSC glycolytic and HDR pathways.
