Generation of human $\$-thalassemia induced pluripotent cell lines by reprogramming of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells using modified mRNA.
Synthetic modified mRNA molecules encoding pluripotency transcription factors have been used successfully in reprogramming human fibroblasts to induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). We have applied this method on bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (BM-MSCs) obtained from a patient with $$-thalassemia ($$-thal) with the aim to generate trangene-free $$-thal-iPSCs. Transfection of 10(4) BM-MSCs by lipofection with mRNA encoding the reprogramming factors Oct4,Klf4,Sox2,cMyc,and Lin28 resulted in formation of five iPSC colonies,from which three were picked up and expanded in $$-thal-iPSC lines. After 10 serial passages in vitro,$$-thal-iPSCs maintain genetic stability as shown by array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) and are capable of forming embryoid bodies in vitro and teratomas in vivo. Their gene expression profile compared to human embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and BM-MSCs seems to be similar to that of ESCs,whereas it differs from the profile of the parental BM-MSCs. Differentiation cultures toward a hematopoietic lineage showed the generation of CD34(+) progenitors up to 10%,but with a decreased hematopoietic colony-forming capability. In conclusion,we report herein the generation of transgene-free $$-thal-iPSCs that could be widely used for disease modeling and gene therapy applications. Moreover,it was demonstrated that the mRNA-based reprogramming method,used mainly in fibroblasts,is also suitable for reprogramming of human BM-MSCs.

Trisomy 21 mid-trimester amniotic fluid induced pluripotent stem cells maintain genetic signatures during reprogramming: implications for disease modeling and cryobanking.
Trisomy 21 is the most common chromosomal abnormality and is associated primarily with cardiovascular,hematological,and neurological complications. A robust patient-derived cellular model is necessary to investigate the pathophysiology of the syndrome because current animal models are limited and access to tissues from affected individuals is ethically challenging. We aimed to derive induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from trisomy 21 human mid-trimester amniotic fluid stem cells (AFSCs) and describe their hematopoietic and neurological characteristics. Human AFSCs collected from women undergoing prenatal diagnosis were selected for c-KIT(+) and transduced with a Cre-lox-inducible polycistronic lentiviral vector encoding SOX2,OCT4,KLF-4,and c-MYC (50,000 cells at a multiplicity of infection (MOI) 1-5 for 72 h). The embryonic stem cell (ESC)-like properties of the AFSC-derived iPSCs were established in vitro by embryoid body formation and in vivo by teratoma formation in RAG2(-/-),$\$-chain(-/-),C2(-/-) immunodeficient mice. Reprogrammed cells retained their cytogenetic signatures and differentiated into specialized hematopoietic and neural precursors detected by morphological assessment,immunostaining,and RT-PCR. Additionally,the iPSCs expressed all pluripotency markers upon multiple rounds of freeze-thawing. These findings are important in establishing a patient-specific cellular platform of trisomy 21 to study the pathophysiology of the aneuploidy and for future drug discovery.

FANCA knockout in human embryonic stem cells causes a severe growth disadvantage
Fanconi anemia (FA) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by progressive bone marrow failure (BMF) during childhood,aside from numerous congenital abnormalities. FA mouse models have been generated; however,they do not fully mimic the hematopoietic phenotype. As there is mounting evidence that the hematopoietic impairment starts already in utero,a human pluripotent stem cell model would constitute a more appropriate system to investigate the mechanisms underlying BMF in FA and its developmental basis. Using zinc finger nuclease (ZFN) technology,we have created a knockout of FANCA in human embryonic stem cells (hESC). We introduced a selection cassette into exon 2 thereby disrupting the FANCA coding sequence and found that whereas mono-allelically targeted cells retain an unaltered proliferation potential,disruption of the second allele causes a severe growth disadvantage. As a result,heterogeneous cultures arise due to the presence of cells still carrying an unaffected FANCA allele,quickly outgrowing the knockout cells. When pure cultures of FANCA knockout hESC are pursued either through selection or single cell cloning,this rapidly results in growth arrest and such cultures cannot be maintained. These data highlight the importance of a functional FA pathway at the pluripotent stem cell stage. ?? 2014.

RHEX, a novel regulator of human erythroid progenitor cell expansion and erythroblast development.
Ligation of erythropoietin (EPO) receptor (EPOR) JAK2 kinase complexes propagates signals within erythroid progenitor cells (EPCs) that are essential for red blood cell production. To reveal hypothesized novel EPOR/JAK2 targets,a phosphotyrosine (PY) phosphoproteomics approach was applied. Beyond known signal transduction factors,32 new targets of EPO-modulated tyrosine phosphorylation were defined. Molecular adaptors comprised one major set including growth factor receptor-bound protein 2 (GRB2)-associated binding proteins 1-3 (GAB1-3),insulin receptor substrate 2 (IRS2),docking protein 1 (DOK1),Src homology 2 domain containing transforming protein 1 (SHC1),and sprouty homologue 1 (SPRY1) as validating targets,and SPRY2,SH2 domain containing 2A (SH2D2A),and signal transducing adaptor molecule 2 (STAM2) as novel candidate adaptors together with an ORF factor designated as regulator of human erythroid cell expansion (RHEX). RHEX is well conserved in Homo sapiens and primates but absent from mouse,rat,and lower vertebrate genomes. Among tissues and lineages,RHEX was elevated in EPCs,occurred as a plasma membrane protein,was rapidly PY-phosphorylated textgreater20-fold upon EPO exposure,and coimmunoprecipitated with the EPOR. In UT7epo cells,knockdown of RHEX inhibited EPO-dependent growth. This was associated with extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1,2 (ERK1,2) modulation,and RHEX coupling to GRB2. In primary human EPCs,shRNA knockdown studies confirmed RHEX regulation of erythroid progenitor expansion and further revealed roles in promoting the formation of hemoglobinizing erythroblasts. RHEX therefore comprises a new EPO/EPOR target and regulator of human erythroid cell expansion that additionally acts to support late-stage erythroblast development.

Direct induction of haematoendothelial programs in human pluripotent stem cells by transcriptional regulators.
Advancing pluripotent stem cell technologies for modelling haematopoietic stem cell development and blood therapies requires identifying key regulators of haematopoietic commitment from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs). Here,by screening the effect of 27 candidate factors,we reveal two groups of transcriptional regulators capable of inducing distinct haematopoietic programs from hPSCs: pan-myeloid (ETV2 and GATA2) and erythro-megakaryocytic (GATA2 and TAL1). In both cases,these transcription factors directly convert hPSCs to endothelium,which subsequently transform into blood cells with pan-myeloid or erythro-megakaryocytic potential. These data demonstrate that two distinct genetic programs regulate the haematopoietic development from hPSCs and that both of these programs specify hPSCs directly to haemogenic endothelial cells. In addition,this study provides a novel method for the efficient induction of blood and endothelial cells from hPSCs via the overexpression of modified mRNA for the selected transcription factors.

Macrophage models of Gaucher disease for evaluating disease pathogenesis and candidate drugs.
Gaucher disease is caused by an inherited deficiency of glucocerebrosidase that manifests with storage of glycolipids in lysosomes,particularly in macrophages. Available cell lines modeling Gaucher disease do not demonstrate lysosomal storage of glycolipids; therefore,we set out to develop two macrophage models of Gaucher disease that exhibit appropriate substrate accumulation. We used these cellular models both to investigate altered macrophage biology in Gaucher disease and to evaluate candidate drugs for its treatment. We generated and characterized monocyte-derived macrophages from 20 patients carrying different Gaucher disease mutations. In addition,we created induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived macrophages from five fibroblast lines taken from patients with type 1 or type 2 Gaucher disease. Macrophages derived from patient monocytes or iPSCs showed reduced glucocerebrosidase activity and increased storage of glucocerebroside and glucosylsphingosine in lysosomes. These macrophages showed efficient phagocytosis of bacteria but reduced production of intracellular reactive oxygen species and impaired chemotaxis. The disease phenotype was reversed with a noninhibitory small-molecule chaperone drug that enhanced glucocerebrosidase activity in the macrophages,reduced glycolipid storage,and normalized chemotaxis and production of reactive oxygen species. Macrophages differentiated from patient monocytes or patient-derived iPSCs provide cellular models that can be used to investigate disease pathogenesis and facilitate drug development.

PADI4 acts as a coactivator of Tal1 by counteracting repressive histone arginine methylation.
The transcription factor Tal1 is a critical activator or repressor of gene expression in hematopoiesis and leukaemia. The mechanism by which Tal1 differentially influences transcription of distinct genes is not fully understood. Here we show that Tal1 interacts with the peptidylarginine deiminase IV (PADI4). We demonstrate that PADI4 can act as an epigenetic coactivator through influencing H3R2me2a. At the Tal1/PADI4 target gene IL6ST the repressive H3R2me2a mark triggered by PRMT6 is counteracted by PADI4,which augments the active H3K4me3 mark and thus increases IL6ST expression. In contrast,at the CTCF promoter PADI4 acts as a repressor. We propose that the influence of PADI4 on IL6ST transcription plays a role in the control of IL6ST expression during lineage differentiation of hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells. These results open the possibility to pharmacologically influence Tal1 in leukaemia.

Human induced pluripotent stem cell derived erythroblasts can undergo definitive erythropoiesis and co-express gamma and beta globins.
Human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs),like embryonic stem cells,are under intense investigation for novel approaches to model disease and for regenerative therapies. Here,we describe the derivation and characterization of hiPSCs from a variety of sources and show that,irrespective of origin or method of reprogramming,hiPSCs can be differentiated on OP9 stroma towards a multi-lineage haemo-endothelial progenitor that can contribute to CD144(+) endothelium,CD235a(+) erythrocytes (myeloid lineage) and CD19(+) B lymphocytes (lymphoid lineage). Within the erythroblast lineage,we were able to demonstrate by single cell analysis (flow cytometry),that hiPSC-derived erythroblasts express alpha globin as previously described,and that a sub-population of these erythroblasts also express haemoglobin F (HbF),indicative of fetal definitive erythropoiesis. More notably however,we were able to demonstrate that a small sub-fraction of HbF positive erythroblasts co-expressed HbA in a highly heterogeneous manner,but analogous to cord blood-derived erythroblasts when cultured using similar methods. Moreover,the HbA expressing erythroblast population could be greatly enhanced (44textperiodcentered0 ± 6textperiodcentered04%) when a defined serum-free approach was employed to isolate a CD31(+) CD45(+) erythro-myeloid progenitor. These findings demonstrate that hiPSCs may represent a useful alternative to standard sources of erythrocytes (RBCs) for future applications in transfusion medicine.

Targeting aberrant glutathione metabolism to eradicate human acute myelogenous leukemia cells.
The development of strategies to eradicate primary human acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) cells is a major challenge to the leukemia research field. In particular,primitive leukemia cells,often termed leukemia stem cells,are typically refractory to many forms of therapy. To investigate improved strategies for targeting of human AML cells we compared the molecular mechanisms regulating oxidative state in primitive (CD34(+)) leukemic versus normal specimens. Our data indicate that CD34(+) AML cells have elevated expression of multiple glutathione pathway regulatory proteins,presumably as a mechanism to compensate for increased oxidative stress in leukemic cells. Consistent with this observation,CD34(+) AML cells have lower levels of reduced glutathione and increased levels of oxidized glutathione compared with normal CD34(+) cells. These findings led us to hypothesize that AML cells will be hypersensitive to inhibition of glutathione metabolism. To test this premise,we identified compounds such as parthenolide (PTL) or piperlongumine that induce almost complete glutathione depletion and severe cell death in CD34(+) AML cells. Importantly,these compounds only induce limited and transient glutathione depletion as well as significantly less toxicity in normal CD34(+) cells. We further determined that PTL perturbs glutathione homeostasis by a multifactorial mechanism,which includes inhibiting key glutathione metabolic enzymes (GCLC and GPX1),as well as direct depletion of glutathione. These findings demonstrate that primitive leukemia cells are uniquely sensitive to agents that target aberrant glutathione metabolism,an intrinsic property of primary human AML cells.

3D microcarrier system for efficient differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells into hematopoietic cells without feeders and serum [corrected].
BACKGROUND Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) have been derived and maintained on mouse embryonic fibroblast feeders to keep their undifferentiated status. To realize their clinical potential,a feeder-free and scalable system for large scale production of hESCs and their differentiated derivatives is required. MATERIALS & METHODS hESCs were cultured and passaged on serum/feeder-free 3D microcarriers for five passages. For embryoid body (EB) formation and hemangioblast differentiation,the medium for 3D microcarriers was directly switched to EB medium. RESULTS hESCs on 3D microcarriers maintained pluripotency and formed EBs,which were ten-times more efficient than hESCs cultured under 2D feeder-free conditions (0.11 ± 0.03 EB cells/hESC input 2D vs 1.19 ± 0.32 EB cells/hESC input 3D). After replating,EB cells from 3D culture readily developed into hemangioblasts with the potential to differentiate into hematopoietic and endothelial cells. Furthermore,this 3D system can also be adapted to human induced pluripotent stem cells,which generate functional hemangioblasts with high efficiency. CONCLUSION This 3D serum- and stromal-free microcarrier system is important for future clinical applications,with the potential of developing to a GMP-compatible scalable system.

Differential effects of polyphenols on proliferation and apoptosis in human myeloid and lymphoid leukemia cell lines.
BACKGROUND Mortality rates for leukemia are high despite considerable improvements in treatment. Since polyphenols exert pro-apoptotic effects in solid tumors,our study investigated the effects of polyphenols in haematological malignancies. The effect of eight polyphenols (quercetin,chrysin,apigenin,emodin,aloe-emodin,rhein,cis-stilbene and trans-stilbene) were studied on cell proliferation,cell cycle and apoptosis in four lymphoid and four myeloid leukemic cells lines,together with normal haematopoietic control cells. METHODS Cellular proliferation was measured by CellTiter-Glo(®) luminescent assay; and cell cycle arrest was assessed using flow cytometry of propidium iodide stained cells. Apoptosis was investigated by caspase-3 activity assay using flow cytometry and apoptotic morphology was confirmed by Hoescht 33342 staining. RESULTS Emodin,quercetin,and cis-stilbene were the most effective polyphenols at decreasing cell viability (IC50 values of 5-22 μM,8-33 μM,and 25-85 μM respectively) and inducing apoptosis (AP50 values (the concentration which 50% of cells undergo apoptosis) of 2-27 μM,19-50 μM,and 8-50 μM respectively). Generally,lymphoid cell lines were more sensitive to polyphenol treatment compared to myeloid cell lines,however the most resistant myeloid (KG-1a and K562) cell lines were still found to respond to emodin and quercetin treatment at low micromolar levels. Non-tumor cells were less sensitive to all polyphenols compared to the leukemia cells. CONCLUSIONS These findings suggest that polyphenols have anti-tumor activity against leukemia cells with differential effects. Importantly,the differential sensitivity of emodin,quercetin,and cis-stilbene between leukemia and normal cells suggests that polyphenols are potential therapeutic agents for leukemia.

Antibody-mediated glycophorin C coligation on K562 cells induces phosphatidylserine exposure and cell death in an atypical apoptotic process.
BACKGROUND Glycophorin C (GPC) is necessary in the maintenance of red blood cell structure. Severe autoimmune hemolytic anemia and hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN) have been associated with Gerbich (Ge) blood group system antigens expressed on GPC. Previous in vitro studies with cord blood progenitor cells have shown that anti-Ge suppresses erythropoiesis. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS Here,we evaluated the K562 erythroleukemic cell line to study the cellular effects of a murine anti-GPC. Cell proliferation was evaluated after treatment with anti-GPC. Flow cytometry was used to evaluate exofacial phosphatidylserine (PS) expression and cell viability (propidium iodide binding). Cell morphology was evaluated under light microscopy with cytospin preparations stained with May-Grünwald Giemsa. RESULTS Anti-GPC dramatically inhibited K562 proliferation and increased PS expression,consistent with cytoplasmic blebbing,suggesting evidence of apoptosis. Z-VAD-FMK,an inhibitor of classical apoptosis,was unable to reverse the suppressive effect of anti-GPC. However,hemin was able to attenuate growth suppression. CONCLUSION Together,the data suggest that anti-GPC suppresses erythroid proliferation through the induction of nonclassical apoptosis.
