ABC transporter activities of murine hematopoietic stem cells vary according to their developmental and activation status.
Primitive hematopoietic cells from several species are known to efflux both Hoechst 33342 and Rhodamine-123. We now show that murine hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) defined by long-term multilineage repopulation assays efflux both dyes variably according to their developmental or activation status. In day 14.5 murine fetal liver,very few HSCs efflux Hoechst 33342 efficiently,and they are thus not detected as side population" (SP) cells. HSCs in mouse fetal liver also fail to efflux Rhodamine-123. Both of these features are retained by most of the HSCs present until 4 weeks after birth but are reversed by 8 weeks of age or after a new HSC population is regenerated in adult mice that receive transplants with murine fetal liver cells. Activation of adult HSCs in vivo following 5-fluorouracil treatment�

Placental growth factor mediates mesenchymal cell development, cartilage turnover, and bone remodeling during fracture repair.
Current therapies for delayed- or nonunion bone fractures are still largely ineffective. Previous studies indicated that the VEGF homolog placental growth factor (PlGF) has a more significant role in disease than in health. Therefore we investigated the role of PlGF in a model of semi-stabilized bone fracture healing. Fracture repair in mice lacking PlGF was impaired and characterized by a massive accumulation of cartilage in the callus,reminiscent of delayed- or nonunion fractures. PlGF was required for the early recruitment of inflammatory cells and the vascularization of the fracture wound. Interestingly,however,PlGF also played a role in the subsequent stages of the repair process. Indeed in vivo and in vitro findings indicated that PlGF induced the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal progenitors and stimulated cartilage turnover by particular MMPs. Later in the process,PlGF was required for the remodeling of the newly formed bone by stimulating osteoclast differentiation. As PlGF expression was increased throughout the process of bone repair and all the important cell types involved expressed its receptor VEGFR-1,the present data suggest that PlGF is required for mediating and coordinating the key aspects of fracture repair. Therefore PlGF may potentially offer therapeutic advantages for fracture repair.

Human CD34+ cells expressing the inv(16) fusion protein exhibit a myelomonocytic phenotype with greatly enhanced proliferative ability.
The t(16:16) and inv(16) are associated with FAB M4Eo myeloid leukemias and result in fusion of the CBFB gene to the MYH11 gene (encoding smooth muscle myosin heavy chain [SMMHC]). Knockout of CBFbeta causes embryonic lethality due to lack of definitive hematopoiesis. Although knock-in of CBFB-MYH11 is not sufficient to cause disease,expression increases the incidence of leukemia when combined with cooperating events. Although mouse models are valuable tools in the study of leukemogenesis,little is known about the contribution of CBFbeta-SMMHC to human hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell self-renewal. We introduced the CBFbeta-MYH11 cDNA into human CD34+ cells via retroviral transduction. Transduced cells displayed an initial repression of progenitor activity but eventually dominated the culture,resulting in the proliferation of clonal populations for up to 7 months. Long-term cultures displayed a myelomonocytic morphology while retaining multilineage progenitor activity and engraftment in NOD/SCID-B2M-/- mice. Progenitor cells from long-term cultures showed altered expression of genes defining inv(16) identified in microarray studies of human patient samples. This system will be useful in examining the effects of CBFbeta-SMMHC on gene expression in the human preleukemic cell,in characterizing the effect of this oncogene on human stem cell biology,and in defining its contribution to the development of leukemia.

T-bet-deficient NOD mice are protected from diabetes due to defects in both T cell and innate immune system function.
The transcription factor T-bet (Tbx21) is critical for Th1 polarization of CD4(+) T cells. Genetic deletion of Tbx21 can cause either exacerbation or attenuation of different autoimmune diseases in animal models. In the nonobese diabetic (NOD) mouse,genetic deletion of the Ifng or the Il12b (IL-12p40) genes,which are both critical Th1 cytokines,does not reduce the incidence of autoimmune diabetes. These results suggest that autoimmune diabetes in the NOD may not be a Th1-driven disease. However,we report that Tbx21 deficiency in the NOD mouse completely blocks insulitis and diabetes due to defects both in the initiation of the anti-islet immune response and in the function of CD4(+) effector T cells. We find defective priming of naive islet-reactive T cells by the innate immune system in Tbx21(-/-) animals. By contrast to naive cells,activated islet-reactive BDC2.5 TCR-transgenic T cells do not require Tbx21 in recipient animals for efficient adoptive transfer of diabetes. However,when these BDC2.5 TCR-transgenic effector cells lack Tbx21,they are less effective at entering the pancreas and promoting diabetes than Tbx21(+/+) cells. Tbx21(-/-) regulatory T cells function normally in vitro and diabetes can be restored in Tbx21(-/-) mice by reducing regulatory T cell numbers. Thus,the absence of diabetes in the NOD.Tbx21(-/-) is due to intrinsic defects in both T cells and cells of the innate immune system paired with the relative preservation of regulatory T cell function.

[In vitro effects of anti-CD44 monoclonal antibody on the adhesion and migration of chronic myeloid leukemia stem cells.]
OBJECTIVE: To explore the effects of anti-CD44 monoclonal antibody-IM7 on the in vitro adhesion and migration of chronic myeloid leukemia stem cell (CML-LSC) and its mechanism. METHODS: CD34(+)CD38(-)CD123(+) leukemic stem cells (LSC) from 20 newly-diagnosed chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients BM cells and CD34(+)CD38(-) hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) from 20 full-term newborn cord blood cells were isolated with EasySep(TM) magnet beads. The CD44 expression of the LSC and HSC was detected by flow cytometry (FCM),and the adhesion and migration ability of the LSC and HSC pre- and post-incubated with IM7 in vitro by MTT assay and transendothelial migration assay,respectively. RESULTS: (1) After incubated with IM7,the LSC and HSC CD44 expression rates were (86.60 ± 2.10)% vs. (25.40 ± 1.70)% (P textless 0.05),respectively. (2) The adhesive ability of the LSC to endothelial cells was decreased markedly after incubated with IM7,the OD value (A(570)) changing from pre-incubation of (0.62 ± 0.11) to post-incubation of (0.34 ± 0.07),while there was little change of A(570) in the HSC group. (3) The migration ability of the LSC group was inhibited evidently after incubated with IM7,the inhibition rate being 46% ∼ 63%,while little change of that in HSC group was detected. (4) The adhesive ability of the LSC group to marrow stromal cells was decreased markedly after incubated with IM7,while little change was found in that of HSC group. CONCLUSION: The anti-CD44 monoclonal antibody-IM7 can effectively inhibit the adhesion and migration abilities of the LSC in vitro,which might provide a theoretical evidence for targeting therapy.

Histone H3 lysine 79 methyltransferase Dot1 is required for immortalization by MLL oncogenes.
Chimeric oncoproteins resulting from fusion of MLL to a wide variety of partnering proteins cause biologically distinctive and clinically aggressive acute leukemias. However,the mechanism of MLL-mediated leukemic transformation is not fully understood. Dot1,the only known histone H3 lysine 79 (H3K79) methyltransferase,has been shown to interact with multiple MLL fusion partners including AF9,ENL,AF10,and AF17. In this study,we utilize a conditional Dot1l deletion model to investigate the role of Dot1 in hematopoietic progenitor cell immortalization by MLL fusion proteins. Western blot and mass spectrometry show that Dot1-deficient cells are depleted of the global H3K79 methylation mark. We find that loss of Dot1 activity attenuates cell viability and colony formation potential of cells immortalized by MLL oncoproteins but not by the leukemic oncoprotein E2a-Pbx1. Although this effect is most pronounced for MLL-AF9,we find that Dot1 contributes to the viability of cells immortalized by other MLL oncoproteins that are not known to directly recruit Dot1. Cells immortalized by MLL fusions also show increased apoptosis,suggesting the involvement of Dot1 in survival pathways. In summary,our data point to a pivotal requirement for Dot1 in MLL fusion protein-mediated leukemogenesis and implicate Dot1 as a potential therapeutic target.

Identification of unipotent megakaryocyte progenitors in human hematopoiesis.
The developmental pathway for human megakaryocytes remains unclear and the definition of pure unipotent megakaryocyte progenitor is still controversial. Using single-cell transcriptome analysis,we have identified a cluster of cells within immature hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell populations that specifically express genes related to the megakaryocyte lineage. We used CD41 as a positive marker to identify these cells within the CD34(+)CD38(+)IL-3Rα(dim)CD45RA(-) common myeloid progenitor (CMP) population. These cells lacked erythroid and granulocyte/macrophage potential,but exhibited robust differentiation into the megakaryocyte lineage at a high frequency,both in vivo and in vitro The efficiency and expansion potential of these cells exceeded those of conventional bipotent megakaryocyte/erythrocyte progenitors. Accordingly,the CD41(+) CMP was defined as a unipotent megakaryocyte progenitor (MegP) that is likely to represent the major pathway for human megakaryopoiesis,independent of canonical megakaryocyte-erythroid lineage bifurcation. In the bone marrow of patients with essential thrombocythemia,the MegP population was significantly expanded in the context of a high burden of Janus kinase 2 mutations. Thus,the prospectively isolatable and functionally homogeneous human MegP will be useful for the elucidation of the mechanisms underlying normal and malignant human hematopoiesis.

Mutations in the RUNX1 gene are found at high frequencies in minimally differentiated acute myelogenous leukemia. In addition to null mutations,many of the mutations generate Runx1 DNA-binding (RDB) mutants. To determine if these mutants antagonize wild-type protein activity,cDNAs were transduced into murine bone marrow or human cord blood cells using retroviral vectors. Significantly,the RDB mutants did not act in a transdominant fashion in vivo to disrupt Runx1 activity in either T-cell or platelet development,which are highly sensitive to Runx1 dosage. However,RDB mutant expression impaired expansion and differentiation of the erythroid compartment in which Runx1 expression is normally down-regulated,showing that a RDB-independent function is incompatible with erythroid differentiation. Significantly,both bone marrow progenitors expressing RDB mutants or deficient for Runx1 showed increased replating efficiencies in vitro,accompanied by the accumulation of myeloblasts and dysplastic progenitors,but the effect was more pronounced in RDB cultures. Disruption of the interface that binds CBFbeta,an important cofactor of Runx1,did not impair RDB mutant replating activity,arguing against inactivation of Runx1 function by CBFbeta sequestration. We propose that RDB mutants antagonize Runx1 function in early progenitors by disrupting a critical balance between DNA-binding-independent and DNA-binding-dependent signaling.

Regulation of mir-196b by MLL and its overexpression by MLL fusions contributes to immortalization.
Chromosomal translocations involving the Mixed Lineage Leukemia (MLL) gene produce chimeric proteins that cause abnormal expression of a subset of HOX genes and leukemia development. Here,we show that MLL normally regulates expression of mir-196b,a hematopoietic microRNA located within the HoxA cluster,in a pattern similar to that of the surrounding 5' Hox genes,Hoxa9 and Hoxa10,during embryonic stem (ES) cell differentiation. Within the hematopoietic lineage,mir-196b is most abundant in short-term hematopoietic stem cells and is down-regulated in more differentiated hematopoietic cells. Leukemogenic MLL fusion proteins cause overexpression of mir-196b,while treatment of MLL-AF9 transformed bone marrow cells with mir-196-specific antagomir abrogates their replating potential in methylcellulose. This demonstrates that mir-196b function is necessary for MLL fusion-mediated immortalization. Furthermore,overexpression of mir-196b was found specifically in patients with MLL associated leukemias as determined from analysis of 55 primary leukemia samples. Overexpression of mir-196b in bone marrow progenitor cells leads to increased proliferative capacity and survival,as well as a partial block in differentiation. Our results suggest a mechanism whereby increased expression of mir-196b by MLL fusion proteins significantly contributes to leukemia development.

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.
