Left atrial appendages from adult hearts contain a reservoir of diverse cardiac progenitor cells. PLoS One 2013; 8:e59228. [PMID: 23555001 PMCID: PMC3595246 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0059228] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/19/2012] [Accepted: 02/13/2013] [Indexed: 11/19/2022] Open
Abstract
AIMS There is strong evidence supporting the claim that endogenous cardiac progenitor cells (CPCs) are key players in cardiac regeneration, but the anatomic source and phenotype of the master cardiac progenitors remains uncertain. Our aim was to investigate the different cardiac stem cell populations in the left atrial appendage (LAA) and their fates. METHODS AND RESULTS We investigated the CPC content and profile of adult murine LAAs using immunohistochemistry and flow cytometry. We demonstrate that the LAA contains a large number of CPCs relative to other areas of the heart, representing over 20% of the total cell number. We grew two distinct CPC populations from the LAA by varying the degree of proteolysis. These differed by their histological location, surface marker profiles and growth dynamics. Specifically, CD45(pos) cells grew with milder proteolysis, while CD45(neg) cells grew mainly with more intense proteolysis. Both cell types could be induced to differentiate into cells with cardiomyocyte markers and organelles, albeit by different protocols. Many CD45(pos) cells expressed CD45 initially and rapidly lost its expression while differentiating. CONCLUSIONS Our results demonstrate that the left atrial appendage plays a role as a reservoir of multiple types of progenitor cells in murine adult hearts. Two different types of CPCs were isolated, differing in their epicardial-myocardial localization. Considering studies demonstrating layer-specific origins of different cardiac progenitor cells, our findings may shed light on possible pathways to study and utilize the diversity of endogenous progenitor cells in the adult heart.

Abstract
Stem cells are the critical unit affecting tissue maintenance, regeneration, and repair, with particular relevance to the tissues with high cell turnover. Stem cell regulation accommodates the conflicting needs of prompt responsiveness to injury and long-term preservation through quiescence. They are, in essence, the fundamental unit by which a tissue handles changing physiologic needs throughout the lifetime of the organism. As such, they are the focal point of dynamic tissue function, and their governance is physiology expressed at a cellular and molecular level. Here, we discuss the multiple components representing the stem cell niche in hematopoiesis and argue for a unbiased mapping of the niche constituents under different conditions as the first step in developing systems physiology.

Abstract
Continuing advances in stem cell science have prompted researchers to envisage the potential application of stem cells for the management of several debilitating disorders, thus raising the expectations of transplant clinicians. In particular, in order to find a source of adult stem cells alternative to embryonic stem cells (ESCs) for the exploration of novel strategies in regenerative medicine, researchers have attempted to identify and characterise adult stem/progenitor cells resident in compact organs, since these populations appear to be responsible for physiological tissue renewal and regeneration after injury. In particular, recent studies have also reported evidence for the existence of adult stem/progenitor cell populations in both mouse and human thyroids. Here, I provide a review of published findings about ESC lines capable of generating thyroid follicular cells, thyroid somatic stem cells and cancer stem cells within the thyroid. The three subjects are analysed by also considering the criticism recently raised against their existence and potential utility. I comment specifically on the significance of resident thyroid stem cells in the developmental biology of the gland and their putative role in the pathogenesis of thyroid disorders and on the protocols employed for their identification. I finally provide my opinion on whether from basic science results obtained to date it is possible to extrapolate any convincing basic for future treatment of thyroid disorders.

Abstract
The mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) ERK1 and ERK2 are among the major signal transduction molecules but little is known about their specific functions in vivo. ERK activity is provided by two isoforms, ERK1 and ERK2, which are ubiquitously expressed and share activators and substrates. However, there are not in vivo studies which have reported a role for ERK1 or ERK2 in HSCs and the bone marrow microenvironment. The present study shows that the ERK1-deficient mice present a mild osteopetrosis phenotype. The lodging and the homing abilities of the ERK1(-/-) HSC are impaired, suggesting that the ERK1(-/-)-defective environment may affect the engrafment of HSCs. Serial transplantations demonstrate that ERK1 is involved in the maintenance of an appropriate medullar microenvironment, but that the intrinsic properties of HSCs are not altered by the ERK1(-/-) defective microenvironment. Deletion of ERK1 impaired in vitro and in vivo osteoclastogenesis while osteoblasts were unaffected. As osteoclasts derive from precursors of the monocyte/macrophage lineage, investigation of the monocytic compartment was performed. In vivo analysis of the myeloid lineage progenitors revealed that the frequency of CMPs increased by approximately 1.3-fold, while the frequency of GMPs significantly decreased by almost 2-fold, compared with the respective WT compartments. The overall mononuclear-phagocyte lineage development was compromised in these mice due to a reduced expression of the M-CSF receptor on myeloid progenitors. These results show that the cellular targets of ERK1 are M-CSFR-responsive cells, upstream to osteoclasts. While ERK1 is well known to be activated by M-CSF, the present results are the first to point out an ERK1-dependent M-CSFR regulation on hematopoietic progenitors. This study reinforces the hypothesis of an active cross-talk between HSCs, their progeny and bone cells in the maintenance of the homeostasis of these compartments.

Abstract
In adult mammals, maturation of blood and bone cells from their respective progenitors occurs in the bone marrow. The marrow region contains many progenitor and stem cell types that are confined by their biochemical and cellular microenvironments, referred to as stem cell niches. The unique properties of each niche assist the survival, proliferation, migration, and differentiation of that particular stem or progenitor cell type. Among the different niches of the bone marrow, our understanding of the osteohematopoietic niche is the most complete. Its properties, described in this chapter, are a model for studying adult stem cell differentiation, but a lot remains unknown. Our improved understanding of hematopoietic stem cell biology and its relationship with the properties of these niches are critical in the effective and safe use of these cells in regenerative medicine. Here, we review the current knowledge on the properties of these niches and suggest how the potential of hematopoietic progenitors can be utilized in regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Throughout life, one's blood supply depends on sustained division of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) for self-renewal and differentiation. Within the bone marrow microenvironment, an adhesion-dependent or -independent niche system regulates HSC function. Here we show that a novel adhesion-dependent mechanism via integrin-β3 signaling contributes to HSC maintenance. Specific ligation of β3-integrin on HSCs using an antibody or extracellular matrix protein prevented loss of long-term repopulating (LTR) activity during ex vivo culture. The actions required activation of αvβ3-integrin "inside-out" signaling, which is dependent on thrombopoietin (TPO), an essential cytokine for activation of dormant HSCs. Subsequent "outside-in" signaling via phosphorylation of Tyr747 in the β3-subunit cytoplasmic domain was indispensable for TPO-dependent, but not stem cell factor-dependent, LTR activity in HSCs in vivo. This was accompanied with enhanced expression of Vps72, Mll1, and Runx1, 3 factors known to be critical for maintaining HSC activity. Thus, our findings demonstrate a mechanistic link between β3-integrin and TPO in HSCs, which may contribute to maintenance of LTR activity in vivo as well as during ex vivo culture.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Blood cell production is maintained by hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) that reside in specialized niches within bone marrow. Treatment with granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) causes HSC egress from bone marrow niches and trafficking to the peripheral blood, a process termed 'mobilization'. Although the mobilization phenomenon has been known for some time and is utilized clinically to acquire HSC for transplant, the mechanisms mediating HSC release are not completely understood. We discuss recent advances and controversies in defining the mechanisms responsible for G-CSF-induced mobilization. RECENT FINDINGS New reports define a role for resident monocytes/macrophages in maintaining niche cells, which is diminished after G-CSF treatment, suggesting a new mechanism for mobilization. Although osteoblasts have been reported to be a primary component of the HSC niche, new results suggest a unique niche composed of innervated mesenchymal stem cells. Modulating bioactive lipid signaling also facilitates mobilization, and may define a future therapeutic strategy. SUMMARY Hematopoietic mobilization by G-CSF is primarily mediated by alterations to the bone marrow niche by both direct and indirect mechanisms, rather than directly altering HSC function. Further understanding of the processes mediating mobilization will advance our understanding on the cellular and molecular components of the HSC niche.

Abstract
Bone marrow homing and engraftment by clinically transplanted hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells is a complex process that is not fully understood. We report that the pan-leukocyte CD45 phosphatase plays an essential role in trafficking and repopulation of the bone marrow by immature human CD34(+) cells and leukemic cells in transplanted nonobese diabetic severe combined immunodeficient mice. Inhibiting CD45 function by blocking antibodies or a CD45 inhibitor impaired the motility of both normal and leukemic human cells. Blocking CD45 inhibited homing and repopulation by immature human CD34(+) cells as well as homing of primary patient leukemic cells. In addition, CD45 inhibition negatively affected development of hematopoietic progenitors in vitro and their recovery in transplanted recipients in vivo, revealing the central role of CD45 in the regulation of hematopoiesis. Moreover, CD45 blockage induced a hyperadhesive phenotype in immature human progenitor cells as well as in murine leukocytes, leading to their defective adhesion interactions with endothelial cells. This phenotype was further manifested by the ability of CD45 blockage to prevent breakdown of adhesion interactions in the BM, which inhibited murine progenitor mobilization. The substantial effects of a direct CD45 inhibition point at its essential roles in cell trafficking, including murine progenitor cell mobilization and both normal immature and leukemic human hematopoietic cells as well as regulation of hematopoiesis and engraftment potential.

Abstract
In multiple myeloma (MM), malignant plasma cells reside in the bone marrow, where they accumulate in close contact with stromal cells. The mechanisms responsible for the chemotaxis of malignant plasma cells are still poorly understood. Thus, we investigated the mechanisms involved in the chemotaxis of MDN and XG2 MM cell lines. Both cell lines strongly expressed CCR9, CXCR3 and CXCR4 chemokine receptors but only migrated toward CXCL12. Activation of CXCR4 by CXCL12 resulted in the association of CXCR4 with CD45 and activation of PLCβ3, AKT, RhoA, IκBα and ERK1/2. Using siRNA-silencing techniques, we showed CD45/CXCR4 association is essential for CXCL12-induced migration of MM cells. Thymoquinone (TQ), the major active component of the medicinal herb Nigella sativa Linn, has been described as a chemopreventive and chemotherapeutic compound. TQ treatment strongly inhibited CXCL12-mediated chemotaxis in MM cell lines as well as primary cells isolated from MM patients, but not normal PBMCs. Moreover, TQ significantly down-regulated CXCR4 expression and CXCL12-mediated CXCR4/CD45 association in MM cells. Finally, TQ also induced the relocalization of cytoplasmic Fas/CD95 to the membrane of MM cells and increased CD95-mediated apoptosis by 80%. In conclusion, we demonstrate the potent anti-myeloma activity of TQ, providing a rationale for further clinical evaluation.

Abstract
The vast majority of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) reside in specialized niches within the bone marrow during steady state, maintaining lifelong blood cell production. A small number of HSCs normally traffic throughout the body; however, exogenous stimuli can enhance their release from the niche and entry into the peripheral circulation. This process, termed mobilization, has become the primary means to acquire a stem cell graft for hematopoietic transplant at most transplant centers. Currently, the preferred method of HSC mobilization for subsequent transplantation is treatment of the donor with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor. The mobilizing effect of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor is not completely understood, but recent studies suggest that its capacity to mobilize HSCs, at least in part, is a consequence of alterations to the hematopoietic niche. The present article reviews some of the key mechanisms mediating HSC mobilization, highlighting recent advances and controversies in the field.

Abstract
The hallmark of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) is their motility, which is essential for their function, such as recruitment upon demand. Stromal Derived Factor-1 (SDF-1, CXCL12) and its major receptor CXCR4 play major roles in stem cell motility and development. In vitro migration assays, implicating either gradients or cell surface-bound forms of SDF-1, are easy to perform and provide vital information regarding directional and random stem cell motility, which correlate with their repopulation potential in clinical and experimental transplantations. In vivo stem cell homing to the bone marrow, their retention, engraftment, and egress to the circulation, all involve SDF-1/CXCR4 interactions. Finally, other stem cell features such as stem cell survival and proliferation, are also dependent on the SDF-1/CXCR4 axis.

Abstract
CD45 is a protein tyrosine phosphatase that is expressed on all nucleated hematopoietic cells, from stem cells to memory cells. Although its function in regulating the threshold of Ag receptor signaling is well established, its role in other leukocytes, particularly progenitor cells, is not well defined. In this study, we find CD45 affects early thymocyte development. Examination of the CD4(-)CD8(-) double negative (DN) populations revealed a significant reduction in the DN1 population, in both the numbers of CD117(+) DN1 cells (the early thymocyte progenitors) and the CD117(-) DN1 cells in the thymus of CD45(-/-) mice. There was also a reduced frequency of CCR9(+) Lin(-)Sca-1(+)c-Kit(+) cells and common lymphoid progenitors in the CD45(-/-) bone marrow. Competitive bone marrow reconstitution showed a reduced contribution of DN1 cells from CD45(-/-) cells, consistent with an intrinsic defect in these cells. CD45(-/-) DN1 cells exhibited reduced proliferation in vivo and reduced CXCL12-mediated migration in vitro. The loss of CD45 led to the accumulation of an intermediate DN1.5 thymocyte population in vivo that was dependent on Notch for progression. In vivo, CD117(-) DN1 cells gave rise to gammadelta T cells. In vitro, CD117(-) DN1 cells progressed to DN4 on OP9-DL1 cells but CD117(-) DN1 cells lacking CD45 did not. CD45(-/-) CD117(-) DN1 cells were also deficient in TCRbeta expression. Thus, CD45 deficiency affects the development and progression of DN1 thymocytes.

Abstract
CD45 is a leukocyte specific transmembrane glycoprotein and a receptor-like protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP). CD45 can be expressed as several alternatively spliced isoforms that differ in the extracellular domain. The isoforms are regulated in a cell type and activation state-dependent manner, yet their function has remained elusive. The Src family kinase members Lck and Lyn are key substrates for CD45 in T and B lymphocytes, respectively. CD45 lowers the threshold of antigen receptor signalling, which impacts T and B cell activation and development. CD45 also regulates antigen triggered Fc receptor signalling in mast cells and Toll-like receptor (TLR) signalling in dendritic cells, thus broadening the role of CD45 to other recognition receptors involved in adaptive and innate immunity. In addition, CD45 can affect immune cell adhesion and migration and can modulate cytokine production and signalling. Here we review what is known about the substrate specificity and regulation of CD45 and summarise its effect on immune cell signalling pathways, from its established role in T and B antigen receptor signalling to its emerging role regulating innate immune cell recognition and cytokine production.

Abstract
Navigation of transplanted stem cells to their target organs is essential for clinical bone marrow reconstitution. Recent studies have established that hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) dynamically change their features and location, shifting from quiescent and stationary cells anchored in the bone marrow to cycling and motile cells entering the circulation. These changes are driven by stress signals. Bidirectional migrations to and from the bone marrow are active processes that form the basis for HSC transplantation protocols. However, how and why HSCs enter and exit the bone marrow as part of host defense and repair is not fully understood. The development of functional, preclinical, immune-deficient NOD/SCID (non-obese diabetic-severe combined immunodeficiency) mice transplantation models has enabled the characterization of normal and leukemic human HSCs and investigation of their biology. Intensive research has revealed multiple tasks for the chemokine SDF-1 (stromal cell-derived factor-1, also known as CXCL12) in HSC interactions with the microenvironment, as well as the existence of overlapping mechanisms controlling stress-induced mobilization and enhanced HSC homing, sequential events of major physiological relevance. These processes entail dynamically interacting, multi-system aspects that link the bone marrow vasculature and stromal cells with the nervous and immune systems. Neural cues act as an external pacemaker to synchronize HSC migration and development to balance bone remodeling via circadian rhythms in order to address blood and immune cell production for the physiological needs of the body. Stress situations and clinical HSC mobilization accelerate leukocyte proliferation and bone turnover. This review presents the concept that HSC regulation by the brain-bone-blood triad via stress signals controls the bone marrow reservoir of immature and maturing leukocytes.

Abstract
Osteoclasts (OCs) are specialized cells for the resorption of bone matrix that have also been recently reported to be involved in the mobilization of hematopoietic progenitor cells. When Ba/F3 cells expressing wild-type bcr-abl were co-cultured with osteoblasts (OBs), OCs, and bone slices, their proliferation was significantly suppressed, and the Ki-67 negative population, which is believed to be in G(0) phase, was increased. The results of our in vitro experiments suggest that OCs could be involved in the maintenance of dormant leukemic cells in the bone marrow (BM) microenvironment through the release of soluble factors, one of which could be TGF-beta.

Abstract
The nonreceptor isoform of tyrosine phosphatase epsilon (cyt-PTPe) supports osteoclast adhesion and activity in vivo, leading to increased bone mass in female mice lacking PTPe (EKO mice). The structure and organization of the podosomal adhesion structures of EKO osteoclasts are abnormal; the molecular mechanism behind this is unknown. We show here that EKO podosomes are disorganized, unusually stable, and reorganize poorly in response to physical contact. Phosphorylation and activities of Src, Pyk2, and Rac are decreased and Rho activity is increased in EKO osteoclasts, suggesting that integrin signaling is defective in these cells. Integrin activation regulates cyt-PTPe by inducing Src-dependent phosphorylation of cyt-PTPe at Y638. This phosphorylation event is crucial because wild-type-but not Y638F-cyt-PTPe binds and further activates Src and restores normal stability to podosomes in EKO osteoclasts. Increasing Src activity or inhibiting Rho or its downstream effector Rho kinase in EKO osteoclasts rescues their podosomal stability phenotype, indicating that cyt-PTPe affects podosome stability by functioning upstream of these molecules. We conclude that cyt-PTPe participates in a feedback loop that ensures proper Src activation downstream of integrins, thus linking integrin signaling with Src activation and accurate organization and stability of podosomes in osteoclasts.

Szabady RL, Lokuta MA, Walters KB, Huttenlocher A, Welch RA. Modulation of neutrophil function by a secreted mucinase of Escherichia coli O157:H7. PLoS Pathog 2009; 5:e1000320. [PMID: 19247439 PMCID: PMC2642718 DOI: 10.1371/journal.ppat.1000320] [Citation(s) in RCA: 39] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/08/2008] [Accepted: 01/30/2009] [Indexed: 01/13/2023] Open
Abstract
Escherichia coli O157∶H7 is a human enteric pathogen that causes hemorrhagic colitis which can progress to hemolytic uremic syndrome, a severe kidney disease with immune involvement. During infection, E. coli O157∶H7 secretes StcE, a metalloprotease that promotes the formation of attaching and effacing lesions and inhibits the complement cascade via cleavage of mucin-type glycoproteins. We found that StcE cleaved the mucin-like, immune cell-restricted glycoproteins CD43 and CD45 on the neutrophil surface and altered neutrophil function. Treatment of human neutrophils with StcE led to increased respiratory burst production and increased cell adhesion. StcE-treated neutrophils exhibited an elongated morphology with defective rear detachment and impaired migration, suggesting that removal of the anti-adhesive capability of CD43 by StcE impairs rear release. Use of zebrafish embryos to model neutrophil migration revealed that StcE induced neutrophil retention in the fin after tissue wounding, suggesting that StcE modulates neutrophil-mediated inflammation in vivo. Neutrophils are crucial innate effectors of the antibacterial immune response and can contribute to severe complications caused by infection with E. coli O157∶H7. Our data suggest that the StcE mucinase can play an immunomodulatory role by directly altering neutrophil function during infection. StcE may contribute to inflammation and tissue destruction by mediating inappropriate neutrophil adhesion and activation. Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) poses a significant threat to the U.S. food supply, causing foodborne gastrointestinal disease in humans that can progress to hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), a potentially fatal kidney disease. Research suggests that EHEC strains are growing more virulent, resulting in a higher incidence of hospitalization and development of HUS from recent produce-associated outbreaks. Although immune dysregulation is a feature of HUS disease, the specific mechanisms contributing to altered immune function require investigation. Furthermore, the contribution of the immune response to early intestinal disease is not known. StcE is a secreted protease of EHEC that is expressed during infection and may contribute to virulence via cleavage of mucin-like glycoproteins. In this study, we define mucinase activity toward glycoproteins on the surface of human neutrophils and find that StcE alters neutrophil activity by interacting with these proteins. StcE affected crucial neutrophil functions including oxidative burst production and migration. The effects of StcE were both cleavage-dependent and cleavage-independent, providing insight into a novel mechanism for mediating neutrophil function via mucin interactions. Our study reports an immune-modulating role for a potential EHEC virulence factor and provides a possible explanation for altered neutrophil phenotypes observed during E. coli O157∶H7-induced disease.

Human and murine amniotic fluid c-Kit+Lin- cells display hematopoietic activity. Blood 2009; 113:3953-60.

Abstract
We have isolated c-Kit(+)Lin(-) cells from both human and murine amniotic fluid (AF) and investigated their hematopoietic potential. In vitro, the c-Kit(+)Lin(-) population in both species displayed a multilineage hematopoietic potential, as demonstrated by the generation of erythroid, myeloid, and lymphoid cells. In vivo, cells belonging to all 3 hematopoietic lineages were found after primary and secondary transplantation of murine c-Kit(+)Lin(-) cells into immunocompromised hosts, thus demonstrating the ability of these cells to self-renew. Gene expression analysis of c-Kit(+) cells isolated from murine AF confirmed these results. The presence of cells with similar characteristics in the surrounding amnion indicates the possible origin of AF c-Kit(+)Lin(-) cells. This is the first report showing that cells isolated from the AF do have hematopoietic potential; our results support the idea that AF may be a new source of stem cells for therapeutic applications.

Abstract
Physiological interactions between the nervous and immune systems with components of the local microenvironment are needed to maintain homeostasis throughout the body. Dynamic regulation of bone remodeling, hematopoietic stem cells, and their evolving niches via neurotransmitter signaling are part of the host defense and repair mechanisms. This crosstalk links activated leukocytes, neuronal, and stromal cells, which combine to directly and indirectly regulate hematopoietic stem cells. Together, interactions between diverse systems create a regulatory "brain-bone-blood triad," contributing an additional dimension to the concept of the hematopoietic stem cell niche.
