Dual SP/ALDH functionalities refine the human hematopoietic Lin-CD34+CD38- stem/progenitor cell compartment.
Identification of prevalent specific markers is crucial to stem/progenitor cell purification. Determinants such as the surface antigens CD34 and CD38 are traditionally used to analyze and purify hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSCs/HPCs). However,the variable expression of these membrane antigens poses some limitations to their use in HSC/HPC purification. Techniques based on drug/stain efflux through the ATP-binding cassette (ABC)G2 pump (side population [SP] phenotype) or on detection of aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) activity have been independently developed and distinguish the SP and ALDH(Bright) (ALDH(Br)) cell subsets for their phenotype and proliferative capability. In this study,we developed a multiparametric flow cytometric method associating both SP and ALDH activities on human lineage negative (Lin(-)) bone marrow cells and sorted different cell fractions according to their SP/ALDH activity level. We find that Lin(-)CD34(+)CD38(Low/-) cells are found throughout the spectrum of ALDH expression and are enriched especially in ALDH(Br) cells when associated with SP functionality (SP/ALDH(Br) fraction). Furthermore,the SP marker identified G(0) cells in all ALDH fractions,allowing us to sort quiescent cells regardless of ALDH activity. Moreover,we show that,within the Lin(-)CD34(+)CD38(-)ALDH(Br) population,the SP marker identifies cells with higher primitive characteristics,in terms of stemness-related gene expression and in vitro and in vivo proliferative potential,than the Lin(-)CD34(+) CD38(-)ALDH(Br) main population cells. In conclusion,our study shows that the coexpression of SP and ALDH markers refines the Lin(-)CD34(+)CD38(-) hematopoietic compartment and identifies an SP/ALDH(Br) cell subset enriched in quiescent primitive HSCs/HPCs.

mTOR-Mediated Activation of p70 S6K Induces Differentiation of Pluripotent Human Embryonic Stem Cells
Deciding to exit pluripotency and undergo differentiation is of singular importance for pluripotent cells,including embryonic stem cells (ESCs). The molecular mechanisms for these decisions to differentiate,as well as reversing those decisions during induced pluripotency (iPS),have focused largely on transcriptomic controls. Here,we explore the role of translational control for the maintenance of pluripotency and the decisions to differentiate. Global protein translation is significantly reduced in hESCs compared to their differentiated progeny. Furthermore,p70 S6K activation is restricted in hESCs compared to differentiated fibroblast-like cells. Disruption of p70 S6K-mediated translation by rapamycin or siRNA knockdown in undifferentiated hESCs does not alter cell viability or expression of the pluripotency markers Oct4 and Nanog. However,expression of constitutively active p70 S6K,but not wild-type p70 S6K,induces differentiation. Additionally,hESCs exhibit high levels of the mTORC1/p70 S6K inhibitory complex TSC1/TSC2 and preferentially express more rapamycin insensitive mTORC2 compared to differentiated cells. siRNA-mediated knockdown of both TSC2 and Rictor elevates p70 S6K activation and induces differentiation of hESCs. These results suggest that hESCs tightly regulate mTORC1/p70 S6K-mediated protein translation to maintain a pluripotent state as well as implicate a novel role for protein synthesis as a driving force behind hESC differentiation.

Expansion in vitro of retrovirally marked totipotent hematopoietic stem cells.
A large number of biologic,technological,and clinical studies await the development of procedures that will allow totipotent hematopoietic stem cells to be expanded in vitro. Previous work has suggested that hematopoiesis can be reconstituted using transplants of cells from long-term marrow cultures. We have used retrovirus mediated gene transfer to demonstrate that marked totipotent hematopoietic stem cells are both maintained and can be amplified in such cultures,and then subsequently regenerate and sustain lympho-myeloid hematopoiesis in irradiated recipients. Marrow cells from 5-fluorouracil-treated male mice were infected with a recombinant virus carrying the neomycin resistence gene and seeded onto irradiated adherent layers of pre-established,long-term marrow cultures of female origin. At 4 weeks,cells from individual cultures were transplanted into single or multiple female recipients. Southern blot analysis of hematopoietic tissue 45 days posttransplantation showed retrovirally marked clones common to lymphoid and myeloid tissues in 14 of 23 mice examined. Strikingly,for 3 of 4 long-term cultures,multiple recipients of cells from a single flask showed marrow and thymus repopulation with the same unique retrovirally marked clone. These results establish the feasibility of retroviral-marking techniques to demonstrate the maintenance of totipotent lympho-myeloid stem cells for at least 4 weeks in the long-term marrow culture system and provide the first evidence of their proliferation in vitro. Therefore,such cultures may serve as a starting point for identifying factors that stimulate totipotent hematopoietic stem cell expansion.

SPI1-KLF1/LYL1 axis regulates lineage commitment during endothelial-to-hematopoietic transition from human pluripotent stem cells
PU.1 ( SPI1 ) is pivotal in hematopoiesis,yet its role in human endothelial-to-hematopoietic transition (EHT) remains unclear. Comparing human in vivo and in vitro EHT transcriptomes revealed SPI1 ’s regulatory role. Knocking down SPI1 during in vitro EHT led to a decrease in the generation of hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs) and their differentiation potential. Through multi-omic analysis,we identified KLF1 and LYL1 - transcription factors specific to erythroid/myeloid and lymphoid cells,respectively - as downstream targets of SPI1 . Overexpressing KLF1 or LYL1 partially rescues the SPI1 knockdown-induced reduction in HPC formation. Specifically,KLF1 overexpression restores myeloid lineage potential,while LYL1 overexpression re-establishes lymphoid lineage potential. We also observed a SPI1 - LYL1 axis in the regulatory network in in vivo EHT. Taken together,our findings shed new light on the role of SPI1 in regulating lineage commitment during EHT,potentially contributing to the heterogeneity of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs).

Human embryonic stem cell-derived CD34+ cells: efficient production in the coculture with OP9 stromal cells and analysis of lymphohematopoietic potential.
Embryonic stem (ES) cells have the potential to serve as an alternative source of hematopoietic precursors for transplantation and for the study of hematopoietic cell development. Using coculture of human ES (hES) cells with OP9 bone marrow stromal cells,we were able to obtain up to 20% of CD34+ cells and isolate up to 10(7) CD34+ cells with more than 95% purity from a similar number of initially plated hES cells after 8 to 9 days of culture. The hES cell-derived CD34+ cells were highly enriched in colony-forming cells,cells expressing hematopoiesis-associated genes GATA-1,GATA-2,SCL/TAL1,and Flk-1,and retained clonogenic potential after in vitro expansion. CD34+ cells displayed the phenotype of primitive hematopoietic progenitors as defined by co-expression of CD90,CD117,and CD164,along with a lack of CD38 expression and contained aldehyde dehydrogenase-positive cells as well as cells with verapamil-sensitive ability to efflux rhodamine 123. When cultured on MS-5 stromal cells in the presence of stem cell factor,Flt3-L,interleukin 7 (IL-7),and IL-3,isolated CD34+ cells differentiated into lymphoid (B and natural killer cells) as well as myeloid (macrophages and granulocytes) lineages. These data indicate that CD34+ cells generated through hES/OP9 coculture display several features of definitive hematopoietic stem cells.

Valproic acid stimulates proliferation and self-renewal of hematopoietic stem cells.
Histone deacetylase inhibitors have attracted considerable attention because of their ability to overcome the differentiation block in leukemic blasts,an effect achieved either alone or in combination with differentiating agents,such as all-trans retinoic acid. We have previously reported favorable effects of the potent histone deacetylase inhibitor valproic acid in combination with all-trans retinoic acid in patients with advanced acute myeloid leukemia leading to blast cell reduction and improvement of hemoglobin. These effects were accompanied by hypergranulocytosis most likely due to an enhancement of nonleukemic myelopoiesis and the suppression of malignant hematopoiesis rather than enforced differentiation of the leukemic cells. These data prompted us to investigate the effect of valproic acid on normal hematopoietic stem cells (HSC). Here we show that valproic acid increases both proliferation and self-renewal of HSC. It accelerates cell cycle progression of HSC accompanied by a down-regulation of p21(cip-1/waf-1). Furthermore,valproic acid inhibits GSK3beta by phosphorylation on Ser9 accompanied by an activation of the Wnt signaling pathway as well as by an up-regulation of HoxB4,a target gene of Wnt signaling. Both are known to directly stimulate the proliferation of HSC and to expand the HSC pool. In summary,we here show that valproic acid,known to induce differentiation or apoptosis in leukemic blasts,stimulates the proliferation of normal HSC,an effect with a potential effect on its future role in the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia.

Aged marrow macrophages expand platelet-biased hematopoietic stem cells via Interleukin1B.
The bone marrow microenvironment (BMME) contributes to the regulation of hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) function,though its role in age-associated lineage skewing is poorly understood. Here we show that dysfunction of aged marrow macrophages (Mphis) directs HSC platelet-bias. Mphis from the marrow of aged mice and humans exhibited an activated phenotype,with increased expression of inflammatory signals. Aged marrow Mphis also displayed decreased phagocytic function. Senescent neutrophils,typically cleared by marrow Mphis,were markedly increased in aged mice,consistent with functional defects in Mphi phagocytosis and efferocytosis. In aged mice,Interleukin 1B (IL1B) was elevated in the bone marrow and caspase 1 activity,which can process pro-IL1B,was increased in marrow Mphis and neutrophils. Mechanistically,IL1B signaling was necessary and sufficient to induce a platelet bias in HSCs. In young mice,depletion of phagocytic cell populations or loss of the efferocytic receptor Axl expanded platelet-biased HSCs. Our data support a model wherein increased inflammatory signals and decreased phagocytic function of aged marrow Mphis induce the acquisition of platelet bias in aged HSCs. This work highlights the instructive role of Mphis and IL1B in the age-associated lineage-skewing of HSCs,and reveals the therapeutic potential of their manipulation as antigeronic targets.

Chronic exposure to a TLR ligand injures hematopoietic stem cells.
Hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) can be harmed by disease,chemotherapy,radiation,and normal aging. We show in this study that damage also occurs in mice repeatedly treated with very low doses of LPS. Overall health of the animals was good,and there were relatively minor changes in marrow hematopoietic progenitors. However,HSC were unable to maintain quiescence,and transplantation revealed them to be myeloid skewed. Moreover,HSC from treated mice were not sustained in serial transplants and produced lymphoid progenitors with low levels of the E47 transcription factor. This phenomenon was previously seen in normal aging. Screening identified mAbs that resolve HSC subsets,and relative proportions of these HSC changed with age and/or chronic LPS treatment. For example,minor CD150(Hi)CD48(-) populations lacking CD86 or CD18 expanded. Simultaneous loss of CD150(Lo/-)CD48(-) HSC and gain of the normally rare subsets,in parallel with diminished transplantation potential,would be consistent with age- or TLR-related injury. In contrast,HSC in old mice differed from those in LPS-treated animals with respect to VCAM-1 or CD41 expression and lacked proliferation abnormalities. HSC can be exposed to endogenous and pathogen-derived TLR ligands during persistent low-grade infections. This stimulation might contribute in part to HSC senescence and ultimately compromise immunity.

Derivation of mesenchymal stromal cells from pluripotent stem cells through a neural crest lineage using small molecule compounds with defined media
Neural crest cells (NCCs) are an embryonic migratory cell population with the ability to differentiate into a wide variety of cell types that contribute to the craniofacial skeleton,cornea,peripheral nervous system,and skin pigmentation. This ability suggests the promising role of NCCs as a source for cell-based therapy. Although several methods have been used to induce human NCCs (hNCCs) from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs),such as embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs),further modifications are required to improve the robustness,efficacy,and simplicity of these methods. Chemically defined medium (CDM) was used as the basal medium in the induction and maintenance steps. By optimizing the culture conditions,the combination of the GSK3β inhibitor and TGFβ inhibitor with a minimum growth factor (insulin) very efficiently induced hNCCs (70-80%) from hPSCs. The induced hNCCs expressed cranial NCC-related genes and stably proliferated in CDM supplemented with EGF and FGF2 up to at least 10 passages without changes being observed in the major gene expression profiles. Differentiation properties were confirmed for peripheral neurons,glia,melanocytes,and corneal endothelial cells. In addition,cells with differentiation characteristics similar to multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) were induced from hNCCs using CDM specific for human MSCs. Our simple and robust induction protocol using small molecule compounds with defined media enabled the generation of hNCCs as an intermediate material producing terminally differentiated cells for cell-based innovative medicine.

AZD1152, a novel and selective aurora B kinase inhibitor, induces growth arrest, apoptosis, and sensitization for tubulin depolymerizing agent or topoisomerase II inhibitor in human acute leukemia cells in vitro and in vivo.
Aurora kinases play an important role in chromosome alignment,segregation,and cytokinesis during mitosis. We have recently shown that hematopoietic malignant cells including those from acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) aberrantly expressed Aurora A and B kinases,and ZM447439,a potent inhibitor of Aurora kinases,effectively induced growth arrest and apoptosis of a variety of leukemia cells. The present study explored the effect of AZD1152,a highly selective inhibitor of Aurora B kinase,on various types of human leukemia cells. AZD1152 inhibited the proliferation of AML lines (HL-60,NB4,MOLM13),ALL line (PALL-2),biphenotypic leukemia (MV4-11),acute eosinophilic leukemia (EOL-1),and the blast crisis of chronic myeloid leukemia K562 cells with an IC50 ranging from 3 nM to 40 nM,as measured by thymidine uptake on day 2 of culture. These cells had 4N/8N DNA content followed by apoptosis,as measured by cell-cycle analysis and annexin V staining,respectively. Of note,AZD1152 synergistically enhanced the antiproliferative activity of vincristine,a tubulin depolymerizing agent,and daunorubicin,a topoisomerase II inhibitor,against the MOLM13 and PALL-2 cells in vitro. Furthermore,AZD1152 potentiated the action of vincristine and daunorubicin in a MOLM13 murine xenograft model. Taken together,AZD1152 is a promising new agent for treatment of individuals with leukemia. The combined administration of AZD1152 and conventional chemotherapeutic agent to patients with leukemia warrants further investigation.
