The retinoic acid receptor (RAR) agonist, all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA), is a potent inducer of terminal differentiation of malignant promyelocytes, but its effects on more primitive hematopoietic progenitors and stem cells are less clear. We previously reported that pharmacologic levels (1 μmol) of ATRA enhanced the generation of colony-forming cell (CFC) and colony-forming unit-spleen (CFU-S) in liquid suspension cultures of lin− c-kit+ Sca-1+ murine hematopoietic precursors. In this study, we further investigated the effects of ATRA as well as an RAR antagonist, AGN 193109, on the generation of transplantable cells, including pre–CFU-S, short-term repopulating stem cells (STRCs), and long-term repopulating stem cells (LTRCs). ATRA enhanced the ex vivo maintenance and production of competitive repopulating STRCs and LTRCs from lin− c-kit+ Sca-1+ cells cultured in liquid suspension for 14 days. In addition, ATRA prevented the differentiation of these primitive stem cells into more mature pre–CFU-S during the 14 days of culture. In marked contrast, lin− c-kit+ Sca-1+ cells cultured with AGN 193109 for 7 days had virtually no short- or long-term repopulating ability, but displayed an approximately 6-fold increase in the pre–CFU-S population. The data suggest that the RAR agonist ATRA enhances the maintenance and self-renewal of short- and long-term repopulating stem cells. In contrast, the RAR antagonist AGN 193109 abrogates reconstituting ability, most likely by promoting the differentiation of the primitive stem cells. These results imply an important and unexpected role of retinoids in regulating hematopoietic stem cell differentiation.

Background Beta-thalassemia (Bthal) is a genetic disorder due to mutations in the ß-globin gene, leading to a reduced or absent production of HbA, which interferes with erythroid cell maturation and limits normal red cell production. Patients are affected by severe anemia, hepatosplenomegaly, and skeletal abnormalities due to rapid expansion of the erythroid compartment in bone marrow (BM) caused by ineffective erythropoiesis. In a classical view of hematopoiesis, the blood cell lineages arise via a hierarchical scheme starting with multipotent stem cells that become increasingly restricted in their differentiation potential through oligopotent and then unipotent progenitors. In human, novel purification strategies based on differential expression of CD49f and CD90 enrich for long-term (49f+) and short-term (49f−) repopulating hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), with distinct cell cycle properties, but similar myeloid (My) and lymphoid (Ly) potential. In this view, it has been proposed that erythroid (Ery) and megakaryocytic (Mk) fates branch off directly from CD90-/49f− multipotent progenitors (MPPs). Recently, a new study suggested that separation between multipotent (Ery/My/Ly) long-term repopulating cells (Subset1, defined as CLEC9AhighCD34low) and cells with only My/Ly and no Ery potential (Subset2, defined as CLEC9AlowCD34high)occurs within the phenotypic HSC/MPP and CD49f+ HSCs compartment. Aims A general perturbed and stress condition is present in the thalassemic BM microenvironment. Since its impact on the hematopoietic cell subpopulations is mostly unknown, we will investigate which model of hematopoiesis/erythropoiesis occurs in Bthal. Moreover, since Beta-Thalassemia is an erythropoietic disorder, it could be considered as a disease model to study the 'erythroid branching' in the hematopoietic hierarchy. Methods We defined by immunophenotype and functional analysis the lineage commitment of most primitive HSC/MPP cells in patients affected by this pathology compared to healthy donors (HDs). Furthermore, in order to delineate the transcriptional networks governing hematopoiesis in Beta-thalassemia, RNAseq analysis was performed on sorted hematopoietic subpopulations from BM of Bthal patients and HDs. By droplet digital PCR on RNA purified from mesenchymal stromal cells of Bthal patients, we evaluated the expression levels of some niche factors involved in the regulation of hematopoiesis and erythropoiesis. Moreover, the protein levels in the BM plasma were analyzed by performing ELISA. Results Differences in the primitive compartment were observed with an increased proportion of multipotent progenitors in Bthal patients compared to HDs. The Subset1 compartment is actually endowed with an enhanced Ery potential. Focusing on progenitors (CD34+ CD38+) and using a new sorting scheme that efficiently resolved My, Ery, and Mk lineage fates, we quantified the new My (CD71-BAH1-/+) and Ery (CD71+ BAH1-/+) subsets and found a reduction of Ery subset in Bthal samples. We can hypothesize that the erythroid-enriched subsets are more prone to differentiate quickly due to the higher sensitivity to Epo stimuli or other bone marrow niche signals. Gene set enrichment analysis, perfomed on RNAseq data, showed that Bthal HSC/MPP presented negative enrichment of several pathways related to stemness and quiescence. Cellular processes involved in erythropoiesis were found altered in Bthal HSC. Moreover, some master erythroid transcription factors involved were overrepresented in Bthal across the hematopoietic cascade. We identified the niche factors which affect molecular pathways and the lineage commitment of Bthal HSCs. Summary/Conclusions Overall, these data indicate that Bthal HSCs are more cycling cells which egress from the quiescent state probably towards an erythroid differentiation, probably in response to a chronic BM stimulation. On the other hand,some evidences support our hypothesis of an 'erythroid branching' already present in the HSC pool, exacerbated by the pathophysiology of the disease. Disclosures No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

Abstract Human hematopoietic stem cells are thought to express the CD34 stem cell antigen, low numbers of HLA-DR and Thy1 antigens, but no lineage commitment antigens, CD38, or CD45RA antigens. However, fluorescence- activated cell sorted CD34+ subpopulations contain not more than 1% to 5% primitive progenitors capable of initiating and sustaining growth in long-term bone marrow culture initiating cells (LTBMC-ICs). We have recently shown that culture of fresh human marrow CD34+/HLA-DR- cells separated from a stromal layer by a microporous membrane (“stroma- noncontact” culture) results in the maintenance of 40% of LTBMC-ICs. We hypothesized that reselection of CD34+ subpopulations still present after several weeks in stroma-noncontact cultures may result in the selection of cells more highly enriched for human LTBMC-ICs. Fresh marrow CD34+/HLA-DR- cells were cultured for 2 to 3 weeks in stroma- noncontact cultures. Cultured progeny was then sorted on the basis of CD34, HLA-DR, or CD33 antigen expression, and sorted cells evaluated for the presence of LTBMC-ICs by limiting dilution analysis. We show that (1) LTBMC-ICs are four times more frequent in cultured CD34+/HLA- DR- cells (4.6% +/- 1.7%) than in cultured CD34+/HLA-DR- cells (1.3% +/- 0.4%). This suggests that HLA-DR antigen expression may depend on the activation status of primitive cells rather than their lineage commitment. We then sorted cultured cells on the basis of the myeloid commitment antigen, CD33. (2) These studies show that cultured CD34+/CD33- cells contain 4% to 8% LTBMC-ICs, whereas cultured CD34+/CD33+bright cells contain only 0.1% +/- 0.03% LTBMC-ICs. Because LTBMC-ICs are maintained significantly better in stroma-noncontact cultures supplemented with macrophage inflammatory protein 1 alpha (MIP- 1 alpha) and interleukin-3 (IL-3) (Verfaillie et al, J Exp Med 179:643, 1994), we evaluated the frequency of LTBMC-ICs in CD34+/CD33- cells present in such cultures. (3) CD34+/CD33- cells present in MIP-1 alpha + IL-3-supplemented cultures contain up to 30% LTBMC-ICs. The increased frequency of LTBMC-ICs in cultured CD34+ subpopulations may be the result of terminal differentiation of less primitive progenitors, loss of cells that fail to respond to the culture conditions or recruitment of quiescent LTBMC-ICs. The capability to select progenitor populations containing up to 30% LTBMC-ICs should prove useful in studies examining the growth requirements, self-renewal, and multilineage differentiation capacity of human hematopoietic stem cells at the single-cell level.

Abstract Efficient gene delivery to multipotential hematopoietic stem cells would greatly facilitate the development of effective gene therapy for certain hematopoietic disorders. We have recently described a rapid multiparameter sorting procedure for significantly enriching stem cells with competitive long-term lymphomyeloid repopulating ability (CRU) from 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)-treated mouse bone marrow. The sorted cells have now been tested as targets for retrovirus-mediated delivery of a marker gene, NeoR. They were cocultured for 4 days with fibroblasts producing a high titer of retrovirus in medium containing combinations of the hematopoietic growth factors interleukin-3 (IL-3), IL-6, c-kit ligand (KL), and leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) and then injected into lethally irradiated recipients, together with sufficient “compromised” bone marrow cells to provide short-term support. Over 80% of the transplanted mice displayed high levels (> or = 20%) of donor- derived leukocytes when analyzed 4 to 6 months later. Proviral DNA was detected in 87% of these animals and, in half of them, the majority of the hematopoietic cells were marked. Thus, infection of the stem cells was most effective. The tissue and cellular distribution of greater than 100 unique clones in 55 mice showed that most sorted stem cells had lymphoid as well as myeloid repopulating potential. Secondary transplantation provided strong evidence for infection of very primitive stem cells because, in several instances, different secondary recipients displayed in their marrow, spleen, thymus and day 14 spleen colony-forming cells the same proviral integration pattern as the primary recipient. Neither primary engraftment nor marking efficiency varied for stem cells cultured in IL-3 + IL-6, IL-3 + IL-6 + KL, IL-3 + IL-6 + LIF, or all four factors, but those cultured in IL-3 + IL-6 + LIF appeared to have lower secondary engraftment potential. Provirus expression was detected in 72% of the strongly marked mice, albeit often at low levels. Highly efficient retroviral marking of purified lymphomyeloid repopulating stem cells should enhance studies of stem cell biology and facilitate analysis of genes controlling hematopoietic differentiation and transformation.
