Abstract
Recently, the formation of three-dimensional (3D) cell aggregates known as embryoid bodies (EBs) grown in media supplemented with HSC-specific morphogens has been utilized for the directed differentiation of embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), into clinically relevant hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). However, delivering growth factors and nutrients have become ineffective in inducing synchronous differentiation of cells due to their 3D conformation. Moreover, irregularly sized EBs often lead to the formation of necrotic cores in larger EBs, impairing differentiation. Here, we developed two gelatin microparticles (GelMPs) with different release patterns and two HSC-related growth factors conjugated to them. Slow and fast releasing GelMPs were conjugated with bone morphogenic factor-4 (BMP-4) and stem cell factor (SCF), respectively. The sequential presentation of BMP-4 and SCF in GelMPs resulted in efficient and effective hematopoietic differentiation, shown by the enhanced gene and protein expression of several mesoderm and HSC-related markers, and the increased concentration of released HSC-related cytokines. In the present study, we were able to generate CD34+, CD133+, and FLT3+ cells with similar cellular and molecular morphology as the naïve HSCs that can produce colony units of different blood cells, in vitro.

Insight into the mechanism of CD34 + cell mobilisation impairment in multiple myeloma patients treated with anti-CD38 therapy. Br J Haematol 2024; 204:1439-1449.

Abstract
Induction therapy followed by CD34+ cell mobilisation and autologous transplantation represents standard of care for multiple myeloma (MM). However, the anti-CD38 monoclonal antibodies daratumumab and isatuximab have been associated with mobilisation impairment, yet the mechanism remains unclear. In this study, we investigated the effect of three different regimens (dara-VCd, isa-KRd and VTd) on CD34+ cells using flow cytometry and transcriptomics. Decreased CD34+ cell peak concentration and yields, longer collection and delayed engraftment were reproduced after dara-VCd/isa-KRd versus VTd induction in 34 patients in total. Using flow cytometry, we detected major changes in the proportion of apheresis product and bone marrow CD34+ subsets in patients treated with regimens containing anti-CD38 therapy; however, without any decrease in CD38high B-lymphoid progenitors in both materials. RNA-seq of mobilised CD34+ cells from 21 patients showed that adhesion genes are overexpressed in CD34+ cells after dara-VCd/isa-KRd and JCAD, NRP2, MDK, ITGA3 and CLEC3B were identified as potential target genes. Finally, direct in vitro effect of isatuximab in upregulating JCAD and CLEC3B was confirmed by quantitative PCR. These findings suggest that upregulated adhesion-related interactions, rather than killing of CD34+ cells by effector mechanisms, could be leading causes of decreased mobilisation efficacy in MM patients treated with anti-CD38 therapy.

Abstract
Recent studies suggest that infection reprograms hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) to enhance innate immune responses upon secondary infectious challenge, a process called "trained immunity." However, the specificity and cell types responsible for this response remain poorly defined. We established a model of trained immunity in mice in response to Mycobacterium avium infection. scRNA-seq analysis revealed that HSPCs activate interferon gamma-response genes heterogeneously upon primary challenge, while rare cell populations expand. Macrophages derived from trained HSPCs demonstrated enhanced bacterial killing and metabolism, and a single dose of recombinant interferon gamma exposure was sufficient to induce similar training. Mice transplanted with influenza-trained HSPCs displayed enhanced immunity against M. avium challenge and vice versa, demonstrating cross protection against antigenically distinct pathogens. Together, these results indicate that heterogeneous responses to infection by HSPCs can lead to long-term production of bone marrow derived macrophages with enhanced function and confer cross-protection against alternative pathogens.

Abstract
During embryonic development, all blood progenitors are initially generated from endothelial cells that acquire a hemogenic potential. Blood progenitors emerge through an endothelial-to-hematopoietic transition regulated by the transcription factor RUNX1. To date, we still know very little about the molecular characteristics of hemogenic endothelium and the molecular changes underlying the transition from endothelium to hematopoiesis. Here, we analyzed at the single cell level a human embryonic stem cell-derived endothelial population containing hemogenic potential. RUNX1-expressing endothelial cells, which harbor enriched hemogenic potential, show very little molecular differences to their endothelial counterpart suggesting priming toward hemogenic potential rather than commitment. Additionally, we identify CD82 as a marker of the endothelium-to-hematopoietic transition. CD82 expression is rapidly upregulated in newly specified blood progenitors then rapidly downregulated as further differentiation occurs. Together our data suggest that endothelial cells are first primed toward hematopoietic fate, and then rapidly undergo the transition from endothelium to blood.

Abstract
Despite recent advances in the treatment of hematologic malignancies, relapse still remains a consistent issue. One of the primary contributors to relapse is the bone marrow microenvironment providing a sanctuary to malignant cells. These cells interact with bone marrow components such as osteoblasts and stromal cells, extracellular matrix proteins, and soluble factors. These interactions, mediated by the cell surface proteins like cellular adhesion molecules (CAMs), induce intracellular signaling that leads to the development of bone marrow microenvironment-induced chemoprotection (BMC). Although extensive study has gone into these CAMs, including the development of targeted therapies, very little focus in hematologic malignancies has been put on a family of cell surface proteins that are just as important for mediating bone marrow interactions: the transmembrane 4 superfamily (tetraspanins; TSPANs). TSPANs are known to be important mediators of microenvironmental interactions and metastasis based on numerous studies in solid tumors. Recently, evidence of their possible role in hematologic malignancies, specifically in the regulation of cellular adhesion, bone marrow homing, intracellular signaling, and stem cell dynamics in malignant hematologic cells has come to light. Many of these effects are facilitated by associations with CAMs and other receptors on the cell surface in TSPAN-enriched microdomains. This could suggest that TSPANs play an important role in mediating BMC in hematologic malignancies and could be used as therapeutic targets. In this review, we discuss TSPAN structure and function in hematologic cells, their interactions with different cell surface and signaling proteins, and possible ways to target/inhibit their effects.

Abstract
TET2 is recurrently mutated in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and its deficiency promotes leukemogenesis (driven by aggressive oncogenic mutations) and enhances leukemia stem cell (LSC) self-renewal. However, the underlying cellular/molecular mechanisms have yet to be fully understood. Here, we show that Tet2 deficiency significantly facilitates leukemogenesis in various AML models (mediated by aggressive or less aggressive mutations) through promoting homing of LSCs into bone marrow (BM) niche to increase their self-renewal/proliferation. TET2 deficiency in AML blast cells increases expression of Tetraspanin 13 (TSPAN13) and thereby activates the CXCR4/CXCL12 signaling, leading to increased homing/migration of LSCs into BM niche. Mechanistically, TET2 deficiency results in the accumulation of methyl-5-cytosine (m5C) modification in TSPAN13 mRNA; YBX1 specifically recognizes the m5C modification and increases the stability and expression of TSPAN13 transcripts. Collectively, our studies reveal the functional importance of TET2 in leukemogenesis, leukemic blast cell migration/homing, and LSC self-renewal as an mRNA m5C demethylase.

Abstract
Metastases are reduced in CD81KO mice. In addition, a unique anti-CD81 antibody, 5A6, inhibits metastasis in vivo and invasion and migration in vitro. Here, we probed the structural components of CD81 required for the antimetastatic activity induced by 5A6. We found that the removal of either cholesterol or the intracellular domains of CD81 did not affect inhibition by the antibody. We show that the uniqueness of 5A6 is due not to increased affinity but rather to its recognition of a specific epitope on the large extracellular loop of CD81. Finally, we present a number of CD81 membrane-associated partners that may play a role in mediating the 5A6 antimetastatic attributes, including integrins and transferrin receptors.

Delcroix V, Mauduit O, Lee HS, Ivanova A, Umazume T, Knox SM, de Paiva CS, Dartt DA, Makarenkova HP. The First Transcriptomic Atlas of the Adult Lacrimal Gland Reveals Epithelial Complexity and Identifies Novel Progenitor Cells in Mice. Cells 2023; 12:1435. [PMID: 37408269 PMCID: PMC10216974 DOI: 10.3390/cells12101435] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/18/2023] [Revised: 05/13/2023] [Accepted: 05/16/2023] [Indexed: 07/07/2023] Open
Abstract
The lacrimal gland (LG) secretes aqueous tears. Previous studies have provided insights into the cell lineage relationships during tissue morphogenesis. However, little is known about the cell types composing the adult LG and their progenitors. Using scRNAseq, we established the first comprehensive cell atlas of the adult mouse LG to investigate the cell hierarchy, its secretory repertoire, and the sex differences. Our analysis uncovered the complexity of the stromal landscape. Epithelium subclustering revealed myoepithelial cells, acinar subsets, and two novel acinar subpopulations: Tfrchi and Car6hi cells. The ductal compartment contained Wfdc2+ multilayered ducts and an Ltf+ cluster formed by luminal and intercalated duct cells. Kit+ progenitors were identified as: Krt14+ basal ductal cells, Aldh1a1+ cells of Ltf+ ducts, and Sox10+ cells of the Car6hi acinar and Ltf+ epithelial clusters. Lineage tracing experiments revealed that the Sox10+ adult populations contribute to the myoepithelial, acinar, and ductal lineages. Using scRNAseq data, we found that the postnatally developing LG epithelium harbored key features of putative adult progenitors. Finally, we showed that acinar cells produce most of the sex-biased lipocalins and secretoglobins detected in mouse tears. Our study provides a wealth of new data on LG maintenance and identifies the cellular origin of sex-biased tear components.

Abstract
For hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs), hypoxia is a specific microenvironment known as the hypoxic niche. How hypoxia regulates erythroid differentiation of HSPCs remains unclear. In this study, we show that hypoxia evidently accelerates erythroid differentiation, and autophagy plays a pivotal role in this process. We further determine that mTORC1 signaling is suppressed by hypoxia to relieve its inhibition of autophagy, and with the process of erythroid differentiation, mTORC1 activity gradually decreases and autophagy activity increases accordingly. Moreover, we provide evidence that the HIF-1 target gene REDD1 is upregulated to suppress mTORC1 signaling and enhance autophagy, thereby promoting erythroid differentiation under hypoxia. Together, our study identifies that the enhanced autophagy by hypoxia favors erythroid maturation and elucidates a new regulatory pattern whereby autophagy is progressively increased during erythroid differentiation, which is driven by the HIF-1/REDD1/mTORC1 signaling in a hypoxic niche.

Abstract
The existing approaches of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) expansion in vitro were difficult to meet the needs of clinical application. While in vivo, HSCs efficiently self-renew in niche where they interact with three dimension extracellular matrix and stromal cells. Osteoblasts (OBs) are one of most significant stromal cells of HSCs niche. Here, we proposed a three-dimensional environment based on gallic acid grafted-chitosan (2c) scaffold and OBs differentiated from human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (HUMSCs) to recapitulate the main components of HSCs niche. The results of alkaline phosphatase staining and alizarin red staining demonstrated that HUMSCs were successfully induced into OBs. The results showed that the expansions of CD34+cells, CD34+CD38- cells and CD34+CD38-CD45RA-CD49f+CD90+ cells (primitive hematopoietic stem cells, pHSCs) harvested from the biomimetic HSCs niche based on 2c scaffold and OBs (IV) group were larger than those harvested from other three culture groups. Importantly, it was found that the CD34+ cells harvested from IV group had better secondary expansion capability and colony forming potential, indicating better self-renewal ability. In addition, the biomimetic HSCs niche based on 2c scaffold and OBs protected HSCs apoptosis and promoted HSCs division. Taken together, the biomimetic HSCs niche based on 2c scaffold and OBs was an effective strategy for ex vivo expansion of HSCs in clinical scale.

Abstract
Hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) fate is tightly controlled by various regulators, whereas the underlying mechanism has not been fully uncovered due to the high heterogeneity of these populations. In this study, we identify tetraspanin CD63 as a novel functional marker of HSCs in mice. We show that CD63 is unevenly expressed on the cell surface in HSC populations. Importantly, HSCs with high CD63 expression (CD63hi) are more quiescent and have more robust self-renewal and myeloid differentiation abilities than those with negative/low CD63 expression (CD63-/lo). On the other hand, using CD63 knockout mice, we find that loss of CD63 leads to reduced HSC numbers in the bone marrow. In addition, CD63-deficient HSCs exhibit impaired quiescence and long-term repopulating capacity, accompanied by increased sensitivity to irradiation and 5-fluorouracil treatment. Further investigations demonstrate that CD63 is required to sustain TGFβ signaling activity through its interaction with TGFβ receptors I and II, thereby playing an important role in regulating the quiescence of HSCs. Collectively, our data not only reveal a previously unrecognized role of CD63 but also provide us with new insights into HSC heterogeneity.

Abstract
Tetraspanins mark stem cells and tumor initiating cells. Recent studies in adipose development, intestinal crypt remodeling, and muscle stem cells shed new light on the contribution of tetraspanins and their associated partners in cell fate determination. These studies reveal that these partnerships actively help guide precursor cell fate.

Abstract
In this work, we report on two novel monoclonal antibodies, specific for porcine CD9. CD9 is a tetraspanin that is expressed on a wide variety of cells. We phenotyped porcine immune cell subsets and found that CD9 was expressed on all monocytes as well as a subset of B cells. CD9 was variably expressed on T cells, with CD4 T cells containing the highest frequency of CD9+ cells. CD9 expression positively correlated with the frequency of central memory CD4 T cells in ex vivo PBMC. Therefore, we proceeded to explore CD9 as a marker of T cell function. Here we observed that CD9 was expressed on the vast majority of long-lived influenza A virus-specific effector cells that retained the capacity for cytokine production in response to in vitro recall antigen. Therefore, the new antibodies enable the detection of a cell surface molecule with functional relevance to T cells. Considering the importance of CD9 in membrane remodelling across many cell types, they will also benefit the wider field of swine biomedical research.

Abstract
The transcription factors STAT5A and STAT5B are critical in hematopoiesis and leukemia. They are widely believed to have redundant functions but we describe a unique role for STAT5B in driving the self-renewal of hematopoietic and leukemic stem cells (HSCs/LSCs). We find STAT5B to be specifically activated in HSCs and LSCs, where it induces many genes associated with quiescence and self-renewal, including the surface marker CD9. Levels of CD9 represent a prognostic marker for patients with STAT5-driven leukemia and our findings suggest that anti-CD9 antibodies may be useful in their treatment to target and eliminate LSCs. We show that it is vital to consider STAT5A and STAT5B as distinct entities in normal and malignant hematopoiesis.
