Abstract
Regulation of hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) self-renewal and differentiation is essential for their maintenance, and HSC polarity has been shown to play an important role in this regulation. Vangl2, a key component of the Wnt/polarity pathway, is expressed by fetal and adult HSCs, but its role in hematopoiesis and HSC function is unknown. Here we show the deletion of Vangl2 in mouse hematopoietic cells impairs HSC expansion and hematopoietic recovery post-transplant. Old Vangl2-deficient mice showed increased expansion of myeloid-biased multipotent progenitor cells concomitant with splenomegaly. Moreover, Vangl2-deficient cells were not able to effectively reconstitute the recipient bone marrow in serial transplants, or when coming from slightly older donors, demonstrating impaired self-renewal or expansion. Aged Vangl2-deficient HSCs displayed increased levels of cell cycle inhibitor p16INK4a and active β–catenin, which could contribute to their impaired function. Overall, our findings identify Vangl2 as a new regulator of hematopoiesis.

Abstract
Hair follicles regenerate periodically by spontaneously undergoing cycles of growth, regression, and relative quiescence. During the hair cycle, follicle stem cells residing in a specialized niche remain quiescent, and they are stimulated to proliferate throughout the growth phase of the hair follicle. Although cell cycle regulators play a prominent role during the activation of hair follicle stem cells, the identity and the role of these regulators have not been confirmed. Herein, we reported that stem cells located in the bulge region of the HF (BuSCs) express high levels of cyclin‐dependent kinase 4 (CDK4) through the quiescent phase of the hair cycle. Using gain‐ and loss‐of‐function studies, we have determined that the CDK4 protein level affects the number of BuSCs. Transgenic expression of CDK4 in the bulge region of the hair follicles reduces the number of BuSCs, whereas CDK4 ablation resulted in an increasing number of BuSCs. These results suggest that deregulation of CDK4 protein levels contributes to distorting the self‐renewal/proliferation balance and, in turn, altering the number of BuSCs.

Abstract
Exposure of bone marrow to genotoxic stress such as ionizing radiation (IR) results in a rapid decline of peripheral blood cells and stimulates entry of the normally quiescent hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) into the cell cycle to reconstitute the hematopoietic system. While several protocols have employed flow cytometry analysis of bone marrow cells to study changes in specific cell populations with respect to cell cycle proliferation and/or expression of γ-H2AX, a marker of DNA damage, these parameters were examined in separate panels. Here, we describe a flow cytometry-based method specifically designed to examine cell cycle distribution using Ki-67 and FXCycle violet in combination with γ-H2AX in HSCs and hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs) within the same sample. This method is very useful, particularly in studies involving genotoxic stresses such as IR, which substantially reduce the absolute numbers of HSCs and HPCs available for staining. Additionally, we describe several important considerations for the analysis of markers of HSCs in irradiated versus unirradiated samples. Examples include the use of fluorescence minus one (FMO) controls, the gating strategy for markers whose expression is typically impacted by IR such as Sca1, tips for staining of intracellular antigens like Ki67, and ensuring the detection of signal from at least 500 events in each gate to ensure robustness of the results. © 2021 Wiley Periodicals LLC.

Abstract
This study discusses substantive advances in T cell proliferation analysis, with the aim to provoke a re-evaluation of the generally-held view that Ki-67 is a reliable proliferation marker per se, and to offer a more sensitive and effective method for T cell cycle analysis, with informative examples in mouse and human settings. We summarize recent experimental work from our labs showing that, by Ki-67/DNA dual staining and refined flow cytometric methods, we were able to identify T cells in the S-G2/M phases of the cell-cycle in the peripheral blood (collectively termed “T Double S” for T cells in S-phase in Sanguine: in short “TDS” cells). Without our refinement, such cells may be excluded from conventional lymphocyte analyses. Specifically, we analyzed clonal expansion of antigen-specific CD8 T cells in vaccinated mice, and demonstrated the potential of TDS cells to reflect immune dynamics in human blood samples from healthy donors, and patients with type 1 diabetes, infectious mononucleosis, and COVID-19. The Ki-67/DNA dual staining, or TDS assay, provides a reliable approach by which human peripheral blood can be used to reflect the dynamics of human lymphocytes, rather than providing mere steady-state phenotypic snapshots. The method does not require highly sophisticated “-omics” capabilities, so it should be widely-applicable to health care in diverse settings. Furthermore, our results argue that the TDS assay can provide a window on immune dynamics in extra-lymphoid tissues, a long-sought potential of peripheral blood monitoring, for example in relation to organ-specific autoimmune diseases and infections, and cancer immunotherapy.

Abstract
While intrinsic changes in aging hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are well characterized, it remains unclear how extrinsic factors affect HSC aging. Here, we demonstrate that cells in the niche-endothelial cells (ECs) and CXCL12-abundant reticular cells (CARs)-highly express the heme-degrading enzyme, heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1), but then decrease its expression with age. HO-1-deficient animals (HO-1-/- ) have altered numbers of ECs and CARs that produce less hematopoietic factors. HSCs co-cultured in vitro with HO-1-/- mesenchymal stromal cells expand, but have altered kinetic of growth and differentiation of derived colonies. HSCs from young HO-1-/- animals have reduced quiescence and regenerative potential. Young HO-1-/- HSCs exhibit features of premature exhaustion on the transcriptional and functional level. HO-1+/+ HSCs transplanted into HO-1-/- recipients exhaust their regenerative potential early and do not reconstitute secondary recipients. In turn, transplantation of HO-1-/- HSCs to the HO-1+/+ recipients recovers the regenerative potential of HO-1-/- HSCs and reverses their transcriptional alterations. Thus, HSC-extrinsic activity of HO-1 prevents HSCs from premature exhaustion and may restore the function of aged HSCs.

Abstract
Stress-induced premature cell senescence is well recognized to be accompanied by emerging the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). Secreted SASP factors can promote the senescence of normal neighboring cells through autocrine/paracrine pathways and regulate the senescence response, as well. Regarding human endometrium-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MESCs), the SASP regulation mechanisms as well as paracrine activity of senescent cells have not been studied yet. Here, we examined the role of insulin-like growth factor binding protein 3 (IGFBP3) in the paracrine senescence induction in young MESCs. The H2O2-induced premature senescence of MESCs led to increased IGFBP3 in conditioned media (CM). The inhibitory analysis of both MAPK and PI3K signaling pathways showed that IGFBP3 releasing from senescent cells is mainly regulated by PI3K/Akt pathway activity. IGFBP3 appears to be an important senescence-mediating factor as its immunodepletion from the senescent CM weakened the pro-senescent effect of CM on young MESCs and promoted their growth. In contrast, young MESCs acquired the senescence phenotype in response to simultaneous addition of recombinant IGFBP3 (rIGFBP3). The mechanism of extracellular IGFBP3 internalization was also revealed. The present study is the first to demonstrate a significant role of extracellular IGFBP3 in paracrine senescence induction of young MESCs.

Suppression of SRCAP chromatin remodelling complex and restriction of lymphoid lineage commitment by Pcid2. Nat Commun 2017; 8:1518.

Abstract
Lymphoid lineage commitment is an important process in haematopoiesis, which forms the immune system to protect the host from pathogen invasion. However, how multipotent progenitors (MPP) switch into common lymphoid progenitors (CLP) or common myeloid progenitors (CMP) during this process remains elusive. Here we show that PCI domain-containing protein 2 (Pcid2) is highly expressed in MPPs. Pcid2 deletion in the haematopoietic system causes skewed lymphoid lineage specification. In MPPs, Pcid2 interacts with the Zinc finger HIT-type containing 1 (ZNHIT1) to block Snf2-related CREBBP activator protein (SRCAP) activity and prevents the deposition of histone variant H2A.Z and transcription factor PU.1 to key lymphoid fate regulator genes. Furthermore, Znhit1 deletion also abrogates H2A/H2A.Z exchange in MPPs. Thus Pcid2 controls lymphoid lineage commitment through the regulation of SRCAP remodelling activity.

Abstract
Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) have the capacity to self-renew and differentiate into hematopoietic cells and have been utilized to replace diseased bone marrow for patients with cancers and blood disorders. Although remarkable progress has been made in developing new tools to manipulate HSCs for clinic use, there is still no effective method to expand HSCs in vivo for quick repopulation of hematopoietic cells following sublethal irradiation. We have recently described a novel synthetic cytokine that is derived from the fusion of granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and interleukin 4 (IL-4; named as GIFT4), and we have now discovered that GIFT4 fusokine promotes long-term hematopoietic regeneration in a B cell-dependent manner. We found that GIFT4 treatment triggered a robust expansion of endogenous bone marrow HSCs and multipotent progenitors in vivo. Delivery of GIFT4 protein together with B cells rescued lethally irradiated mice. Moreover, adoptive transfer of autologous or allogeneic GIFT4-treated B cells (GIFT4-B cells) enhanced long-term hematopoietic recovery in radiated mice and prevented the mice from irradiation-induced death. Our data suggest that GIFT4 as well as GIFT4-B cells could serve as means to augment HSC engraftment in the setting of bone marrow transplantation for patients with hematological malignancy.
