Abstract microRNAs (miRNAs) are short, non-protein encoding RNAs that bind to the 3′UTR’s of target mRNAs and negatively regulate gene expression by facilitating mRNA degradation or translational inhibition. Aberrant miRNA expression is well-documented in both solid and hematopoietic malignancies, and a number of recent miRNA profiling studies have identified miRNAs associated with specific human acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cytogenetic groups as well as miRNAs that may prognosticate clinical outcomes in AML patients. Unfortunately, these studies do not directly address the functional role of miRNAs in AML. In fact, there is no direct functional evidence that miRNAs are required for AML development or maintenance. Herein, we report on our recent efforts to elucidate the role of miRNAs in AML stem cells. miRNA expression profiling of AML stem cells and their normal counterparts, hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) and committed progenitors, reveals that miR-29a is highly expressed in human hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) and human AML relative to normal committed progenitors. Ectopic expression of miR-29a in mouse HSC/progenitors is sufficient to induce a myeloproliferative disorder (MPD) that progresses to AML. During the MPD phase of the disease, miR-29a alters the composition of committed myeloid progenitors, significantly expedites cell cycle progression, and promotes proliferation of hematopoietic progenitors at the level of the multipotent progenitor (MPP). These changes are manifested pathologically by marked granulocytic and megakaryocytic hyperplasia with hepatosplenomegaly. Mice with miR-29a-induced MPD uniformly progress to an AML that contains a leukemia stem cell (LSC) population that can serially transplant disease with as few as 20 purified LSC. Gene expression analysis reveals multiple tumor suppressors and cell cycle regulators downregulated in miR-29a expressing cells compared to wild type. We have demonstrated that one of these genes, Hbp1, is a bona fide miR-29a target, but knockdown of Hbp1 in vivo does not recapitulate the miR-29a phenotype. These data indicate that additional genes are required for miR-29a’s leukemogenic activity. In summary, our data demonstrate that miR-29a regulates early events in normal hematopoiesis and promotes myeloid differentiation and expansion. Moreover, they establish that misexpression of a single miRNA is sufficient to drive leukemogenesis, suggesting that therapeutic targeting of miRNAs may be an effective means of treating myeloid leukemias.

Abstract Abstract 735 The myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are a heterogeneous group of clonal hematopoietic stem cell malignancies that are characterized by ineffective hematopoiesis resulting in peripheral cytopenias and a hypercellular bone marrow. In order to gain insight into the molecular pathogenesis of the MDS, we have determined the transcriptome of the hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) of 183 MDS patients and 17 healthy controls. The CD34+ cells obtained from MDS patients and healthy individuals were analyzed using Affymetrix U133 Plus2.0 arrays. Global pathway analysis using the Ingenuity software and the DAVID database has identified critical deregulated gene pathways and gene ontology (functional) groups perturbed in MDS HSC compared with normal HSC. The most significantly deregulated pathways in MDS include interferon signaling, thrombopoietin signaling and the Wnt pathway. Moreover, we have identified multiple pathways that are deregulated in specific MDS karyotypic groups and between early (subtype RA) and advanced MDS (subtype RAEB2). Among the most significantly deregulated gene pathways and ontology groups in early MDS are immunodeficiency, apoptosis and chemokine signaling, whereas advanced MDS is characterized by deregulation of the cell cycle, DNA damage response and checkpoint pathways. The clinical behavior of patients with del(5q), +8 or–7/del(7q) is different and we have identified distinct gene expression profiles and deregulated gene pathways for MDS defined by these major karyotypic groups. The most significantly deregulated gene pathways in del(5q) MDS include primary immunodeficiency signaling, Wnt/beta-catenin signaling, integrin signaling, cell cycle regulation and Huntington's disease signaling. Patients with the 5q- syndrome also show deregulation of the p53 pathway. Moreover, chromatin assembly and translation are among the most significant gene ontology groups in del(5q) MDS. We have found that MDS with the–7/del(7q) is characterized by deregulation of multiple pathways involved in cell survival, differentiation, apoptosis and growth, and include SAPK/JNK, NF-kB, PI3K/AKT and ceramide signaling pathways. Strikingly, all of the most significantly deregulated gene pathways in trisomy 8 MDS in our study concern or are associated with the immune response, and include B-cell receptor signaling, antigen presentation and CTLA4 signaling in Cytotoxic T lymphocytes pathways. These data are consistent with an immune system role in the pathogenesis of MDS with trisomy 8. Importantly, much of the deregulated pathway data generated in this study is in accord with the known biology of MDS. On the basis of our observations, we suggest a model for MDS in which immune deregulation and activation of apoptosis pathways in early MDS cells, consistent with clinically observed ineffective hematopoiesis, functions as a barrier to prevent leukemic transformation. Disruption of the DNA damage check points in advanced MDS results in an increase in the error rate of DNA repair with a concomitant increase in genomic instability, leading to evolution to AML. This is the first study to determine deregulated gene pathways and ontology groups in the HSC compartment of a large group of patients with MDS. The deregulated pathways identified are likely to be critical to the MDS HSC phenotype, provide important new insights into the molecular pathogenesis of this disorder, and may represent new targets for therapeutic intervention.

Abstract Background Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are the guarantor of the proper functioning of hematopoiesis due to their incredible diversity of potential. During aging, heterogeneity of HSCs changes, contributing to the deterioration of the immune system. In this study, we revisited mouse HSC compartment and its transcriptional plasticity during aging at unicellular scale. Results Through the analysis of 15,000 young and aged transcriptomes, we identified 15 groups of HSCs revealing rare and new specific HSC abilities that change with age. The implantation of new trajectories complemented with the analysis of transcription factor activities pointed consecutive states of HSC differentiation that were delayed by aging and explained the bias in differentiation of older HSCs. Moreover, reassigning cell cycle phases for each HSC clearly highlighted an imbalance of the cell cycle regulators of very immature aged HSCs that may contribute to their accumulation in an undifferentiated state. Conclusions Our results establish a new reference map of HSC differentiation in young and aged mice and reveal a potential mechanism that delays the differentiation of aged HSCs and could promote the emergence of age-related hematologic diseases.

Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) cultured outside the body are the fundamental component of a wide range of cellular and gene therapies. Recent efforts have achieved more than 200-fold expansion of functional HSCs, but their molecular characterization has not been possible due to the substantial majority of cells being non-HSCs and single cell-initiated cultures displaying substantial clone-to-clone variability. Using the Fgd5 reporter mouse in combination with the EPCR surface marker, we report exclusive identification of HSCs from non-HSCs in expansion cultures. Linking single clone functional transplantation data with single clone gene expression profiling, we show that the molecular profile of expanded HSCs is similar to actively cycling fetal liver HSCs and shares a gene expression signature with functional HSCs from all sources, including Prdm16, Fstl1 and Palld. This new tool can now be applied to a wide-range of functional screening and molecular experiments previously not possible due to limited HSC numbers.

Abstract Hematopoiesis in teleost fish is maintained in the kidney. We previously reported that Hoechst dye efflux activity of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) is highly conserved in vertebrates, and that Hoechst can be used to purify HSCs from teleost kidneys. Regulatory molecules that are strongly associated with HSC activity may also be conserved in vertebrates. In this study, we identified evolutionarily conserved molecular components in HSCs by comparing the gene expression profiles of zebrafish, murine, and human HSCs. Microarray data of zebrafish kidney side population cells (zSPs) showed that genes involved in cell junction and signal transduction tended to be up-regulated in zSPs, whereas genes involved in DNA replication tended to be down-regulated. These properties of zSPs were similar to those of mammalian HSCs. Overlapping gene expression analysis showed that 40 genes were commonly up-regulated in these 3 HSCs. Some of these genes, such as egr1, gata2, and id1, have been previously implicated in the regulation of HSCs. In situ hybridization in zebrafish kidney revealed that expression domains of egr1, gata2, and id1 overlapped with that of abcg2a, a marker for zSPs. These results suggest that the overlapping genes identified in this study are regulated in HSCs and play important roles in their functions.
