Abstract Abstract 2309 Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) maintain the ability to self-renew and to differentiate into all lineages of the blood. The signaling pathways regulating hematopoietic stem cell (HSCs) self-renewal and differentiation are not well understood. We are very interested in understanding the roles of glycogen synthase kinase-3 (Gsk3) and the signaling pathways regulated by Gsk3 in HSCs. In our previous study (Journal of Clinical Investigation, December 2009) using loss of function approaches (inhibitors, RNAi, and knockout) in mice, we found that Gsk3 plays a pivotal role in controlling the decision between self-renewal and differentiation of HSCs. Disruption of Gsk3 in bone marrow transiently expands HSCs in a b-catenin dependent manner, consistent with a role for Wnt signaling. However, in long-term repopulation assays, disruption of Gsk3 progressively depletes HSCs through activation of mTOR. This long-term HSC depletion is prevented by mTOR inhibition and exacerbated by b-catenin knockout. Thus GSK3 regulates both Wnt and mTOR signaling in HSCs, with opposing effects on HSC self-renewal such that inhibition of Gsk3 in the presence of rapamycin expands the HSC pool in vivo. In the current study, we found that suppression of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway, an established nutrient sensor, combined with activation of canonical Wnt/ß-catenin signaling, allows the ex vivo maintenance of human and mouse long-term HSCs under cytokine-free conditions. We also show that combining two clinically approved medications that activate Wnt/ß-catenin signaling and inhibit mTOR increases the number of long-term HSCs in vivo.

Abstract Abstract 1799 Poster Board I-825 Multiple myeloma (MM) patients often present with anemia at the time of initial diagnosis. This has so far only attributed to a physically marrow suppression by the invading malignant plasma cells and the overexpression of Fas-L and tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) by malignant plasma cells triggering the death of immature erythroblasts. Still the impact of MM on hematopoietic stem cells and their niches is scarcely established. In this study we analyzed highly purified CD34+ hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell subsets from the bone marrow of newly diagnosed MM patients in comparison to normal donors. Quantitative flowcytometric analyses revealed a significant reduction of the megakaryocyte-erythrocyte progenitor (MEP) proportion in MM patients, whereas the percentage of granulocyte-macrophage progenitors (GMP) was significantly increased. Proportions of hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) and myeloid progenitors (CMP) were not significantly altered. We then asked if this is also reflected by clonogenic assays and found a significantly decreased percentage of erythroid precursors (BFU-E and CFU-E). Using Affymetrix HU133 2.0 gene arrays, we compared the gene expression signatures of stem cells and progenitor subsets in MM patients and healthy donors. The most striking findings so far reflect reduced adhesive and migratory potential, impaired self-renewal capacity and disturbed B-cell development in HSC whereas the MEP expression profile reflects decreased in cell cycle activity and enhanced apoptosis. In line we found a decreased expression of the adhesion molecule CD44 and a reduced actin polymerization in MM HSC by immunofluorescence analysis. Accordingly, in vitro adhesion and transwell migration assays showed reduced adhesive and migratory capacities. The impaired self-renewal capacity of MM HSC was functionally corroborated by a significantly decreased long-term culture initiating cell (LTC-IC) frequency in long term culture assays. Cell cycle analyses revealed a significantly larger proportion of MM MEP in G0-phase of the cell cycle. Furthermore, the proportion of apoptotic cells in MM MEP determined by the content of cleaved caspase 3 was increased as compared to MEP from healthy donors. Taken together, our findings indicate an impact of MM on the molecular phenotype and functional properties of stem and progenitor cells. Anemia in MM seems at least partially to originate already at the stem and progenitor level.

Bone marrow of normal adult mice was found, after transplacental inoculation, to contain cells still able to seed the livers of early fetuses. The recipients' own hematopoietic stem cells, with a W-mutant defect, were at a selective disadvantage. Progression of donor strain cells to the bone marrow, long-term self-renewal, and differentiation into myeloid and lymphoid derivatives was consistent with the engraftment of totipotent hematopoietic stem cells (THSC) comparable to precursors previously identified (4) in normal fetal liver. More limited stem cells, specific for the myeloid or lymphoid cell lineages, were not detected in adult bone marrow. The bone marrow THSC, however, had a generally lower capacity for self-renewal than did fetal liver THSC. They had also embarked upon irreversible changes in gene expression, including partial histocompatibility restriction. While completely allogeneic fetal liver THSC were readily accepted by fetuses, H-2 incompatibility only occasionally resulted in engraftment of adult bone marrow cells and, in these cases, was often associated with sudden death at 3-5 mo. On the other hand, H-2 compatibility, even with histocompatibility differences at other loci, was sufficient to ensure long-term success as often as with fetal liver THSC.

The preservation of hematopoietic stem cell pool in bone marrow (BM) is crucial for sustained hematopoiesis in adults. Studies assessing adult hematopoietic stem cells functionality had been shown that for example loss of quiescence impairs hematopoietic stem cells maintenance. Although, miR-199b is frequently down-regulated in acute myeloid leukemia, its role in hematopoietic stem cells quiescence, self-renewal and differentiation is poorly understood. Our laboratory investigated the role of miR-199b in hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) fate using miR-199b-5p global deletion mouse model. Characterization of miR-199b expression pattern among normal HSPC populations revealed that miR-199b is enriched in LT-HSCs and reduced upon myeloablative stress, suggesting its role in HSCs maintenance. Indeed, our results reveal that loss of miR-199b-5p results in imbalance between long-term hematopoietic stem cells (LT-HSCs), short-term hematopoietic stem cells (ST-HSCs) and multipotent progenitors (MMPs) pool. We found that during homeostasis, miR-199b-null HSCs have reduced capacity to maintain quiescent state and exhibit cell-cycle deregulation. Cell cycle analyses showed that attenuation of miR-199b controls HSCs pool, causing defects in G1-S transition of cell cycle, without significant changes in apoptosis. This might be due to increased differentiation of LT-HSCs into MPPs. Indeed, cell differentiation assay in vitro showed that FACS-sorted LT-HSCs (LineagenegSca1posc-Kitpos CD48neg CD150pos) lacking miR-199b have increased differentiation potential into MPP in the presence of early cytokines. In addition, differentiation assays in vitro in FACS-sorted LSK population of 52 weeks old miR-199b KO mice revealed that loss of miR-199b promotes accumulation of GMP-like progenitors but decreases lymphoid differentiation, suggesting that miR199b may regulate age-related pathway. We used non-competitive repopulation studies to show that overall BM donor cellularity was markedly elevated in the absence of miR-199b among HSPCs, committed progenitors and mature myeloid but not lymphoid cell compartments. This may suggest that miR-199b-null LT-HSC render enhanced self-renewal capacity upon regeneration demand yet promoting myeloid reconstitution. Moreover, when we challenged the self-renewal potential of miR-199b-null LT-HSC by a secondary BM transplantation of unfractionated BM cells from primary recipients into secondary hosts, changes in PB reconstitution were dramatic. Gating for HSPCs populations in the BM of secondary recipients in 24 weeks after BMT revealed that levels of LT-HSC were similar between recipients reconstituted with wild-type and miR-199b-KO chimeras, whereas miR-199b-null HSCs contributed relatively more into MPPs. Our data identify that attenuation of miR-199b leads to loss of quiescence and premature differentiation of HSCs. These findings indicate that loss of miR-199b promotes signals that govern differentiation of LT-HSC to MPP leading to accumulation of highly proliferative progenitors during long-term reconstitution. Hematopoietic regeneration via repopulation studies also revealed that miR-199b-deficient HSPCs have a lineage skewing potential toward myeloid lineage or clonal myeloid bias, a hallmark of aging HSCs, implicating a regulatory role for miR-199b in hematopoietic aging.

AbstractHematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are canonically defined by their capacity to maintain the HSC pool via self-renewal divisions. However, accumulating evidence suggests that HSC function is instead preserved by sustaining long-term quiescence. Here, we study the kinetics of HSC recovery in mice, following an inflammatory challenge that induces HSCs to exit dormancy. Repeated inflammatory challenge resulted in a progressive depletion of functional HSCs, with no sign of later recovery. Underlying this observation, label retention experiments demonstrated that self-renewal divisions were absent or extremely rare during challenge, as well as during any subsequent recovery period. While depletion of functional HSCs held no immediate consequences, young mice exposed to inflammatory challenge developed blood and bone marrow hypocellularity in old age, similar to elderly humans. The progressive, irreversible attrition of HSC function demonstrates that discreet instances of inflammatory stress can have an irreversible and therefore cumulative impact on HSC function, even when separated by several months. These findings have important implications for our understanding of the role of inflammation as a mediator of dysfunctional tissue maintenance and regeneration during ageing.
