Abstract
We previously identified VRK3 as a specific vulnerability in DMG-H3K27M cells in a synthetic lethality screen targeting the whole kinome. The aim of the present study was to elucidate the mechanisms by which VRK3 depletion impact DMG-H3K27M cell fitness. Gene expression studies after VRK3 knockdown emphasized the inhibition of genes involved in G1/S transition of the cell cycle resulting in growth arrest in G1. Additionally, a massive modulation of genes involved in chromosome segregation was observed, concomitantly with a reduction in the level of phosphorylation of serine 10 and serine 28 of histone H3 supporting the regulation of chromatin condensation during cell division. This last effect could be partly due to a concomitant decrease of the chromatin kinase VRK1 in DMG following VRK3 knockdown. Furthermore, a metabolic switch specific to VRK3 function was observed towards increased oxidative phosphorylation without change in mitochondria content, that we hypothesized would represent a cell rescue mechanism. This study further explored the vulnerability of DMG-H3K27M cells to VRK3 depletion suggesting potential therapeutic combinations, e.g. with the mitochondrial ClpP protease activator ONC201.

Abstract
Background hPSC-derived endothelial and hematopoietic cells (ECs and HCs) are an interesting source of cells for tissue engineering. Despite their close spatial and temporal embryonic development, current hPSC differentiation protocols are specialized in only one of these lineages. In this study, we generated a hematoendothelial population that could be further differentiated in vitro to both lineages.
Methods Two hESCs and one hiPSC lines were differentiated into a hematoendothelial population, hPSC-ECs and blast colonies (hPSC-BCs) via CD144+-embryoid bodies (hPSC-EBs). hPSC-ECs were characterized by endothelial colony-forming assay, LDL uptake assay, endothelial activation by TNF-α, nitric oxide detection and Matrigel-based tube formation. Hematopoietic colony-forming cell assay was performed from hPSC-BCs. Interestingly, we identified a hPSC-BC population characterized by the expression of both CD144 and CD45. hPSC-ECs and hPSC-BCs were analyzed by flow cytometry and RT-qPCR; in vivo experiments have been realized by ischemic tissue injury model on a mouse dorsal skinfold chamber and hematopoietic reconstitution in irradiated immunosuppressed mouse from hPSC-ECs and hPSC-EB-CD144+, respectively. Transcriptomic analyses were performed to confirm the endothelial and hematopoietic identity of hESC-derived cell populations by comparing them against undifferentiated hESC, among each other’s (e.g. hPSC-ECs vs. hPSC-EB-CD144+) and against human embryonic liver (EL) endothelial, hematoendothelial and hematopoietic cell subpopulations.
Results A hematoendothelial population was obtained after 84 h of hPSC-EBs formation under serum-free conditions and isolated based on CD144 expression. Intrafemorally injection of hPSC-EB-CD144+ contributed to the generation of CD45+ human cells in immunodeficient mice suggesting the existence of hemogenic ECs within hPSC-EB-CD144+. Endothelial differentiation of hPSC-EB-CD144+ yields a population of > 95% functional ECs in vitro. hPSC-ECs derived through this protocol participated at the formation of new vessels in vivo in a mouse ischemia model. In vitro, hematopoietic differentiation of hPSC-EB-CD144+ generated an intermediate population of > 90% CD43+ hPSC-BCs capable to generate myeloid and erythroid colonies. Finally, the transcriptomic analyses confirmed the hematoendothelial, endothelial and hematopoietic identity of hPSC-EB-CD144+, hPSC-ECs and hPSC-BCs, respectively, and the similarities between hPSC-BC-CD144+CD45+, a subpopulation of hPSC-BCs, and human EL hematopoietic stem cells/hematopoietic progenitors.
Conclusion The present work reports a hPSC differentiation protocol into functional hematopoietic and endothelial cells through a hematoendothelial population. Both lineages were proven to display characteristics of physiological human cells, and therefore, they represent an interesting rapid source of cells for future cell therapy and tissue engineering.

Abstract
Hematopoiesis and bone interact in various developmental and pathological processes. Neurogenic heterotopic ossifications (NHO) are the formation of ectopic hematopoietic bones in peri-articular muscles that develop following severe lesions of the central nervous system such as traumatic cerebral or spinal injuries or strokes. This review will focus on the hematopoietic facet of NHO. The characterization of NHO demonstrates the presence of hematopoietic marrow in which quiescent hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) are maintained by a functional stromal microenvironment, thus documenting that NHOs are neo-formed ectopic HSC niches. Similarly to adult bone marrow, the NHO permissive environment supports HSC maintenance, proliferation and differentiation through bidirectional signaling with mesenchymal stromal cells and endothelial cells, involving cell adhesion molecules, membrane-bound growth factors, hormones, and secreted matrix proteins. The participation of the nervous system, macrophages and inflammatory cytokines including oncostatin M and transforming growth factor (TGF)-β in this process, reveals how neural circuitry fine-tunes the inflammatory response to generate hematopoietic bones in injured muscles. The localization of NHOs in the peri-articular muscle environment also suggests a role of muscle mesenchymal cells and bone metabolism in development of hematopoiesis in adults. Little is known about the establishment of bone marrow niches and the regulation of HSC cycling during fetal development. Similarities between NHO and development of fetal bones make NHOs an interesting model to study the establishment of bone marrow hematopoiesis during development. Conversely, identification of stage-specific factors that specify HSC developmental state during fetal bone development will give more mechanistic insights into NHO.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) exhibit active abilities to suppress or modulate deleterious immune responses by various molecular mechanisms. These cells are the subject of major translational efforts as cellular therapies for immune-related diseases and transplantations. Plenty of preclinical studies and clinical trials employing MSCs have shown promising safety and efficacy outcomes and also shed light on the modifications in the frequency and function of regulatory T cells (T regs). Nevertheless, the mechanisms underlying these observations are not well known. Direct cell contact, soluble factor production, and turning antigen-presenting cells into tolerogenic phenotypes, have been proposed to be among possible mechanisms by which MSCs produce an immunomodulatory environment for T reg expansion and activity. We and others demonstrated that adult bone marrow (BM)-MSCs suppress adaptive immune responses directly by inhibiting the proliferation of CD4+ helper and CD8+ cytotoxic T cells but also indirectly through the induction of T regs. In parallel, we demonstrated that fetal liver (FL)-MSCs demonstrates much longer-lasting immunomodulatory properties compared to BM-MSCs, by inhibiting directly the proliferation and activation of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells. Therefore, we investigated if FL-MSCs exert their strong immunosuppressive effect also indirectly through induction of T regs. METHODS MSCs were obtained from FL and adult BM and characterized according to their surface antigen expression, their multilineage differentiation, and their proliferation potential. Using different in vitro combinations, we performed co-cultures of FL- or BM-MSCs and murine CD3+CD25-T cells to investigate immunosuppressive effects of MSCs on T cells and to quantify their capacity to induce functional T regs. RESULTS We demonstrated that although both types of MSC display similar cell surface phenotypic profile and differentiation capacity, FL-MSCs have significantly higher proliferative capacity and ability to suppress both CD4+ and CD8+ murine T cell proliferation and to modulate them towards less active phenotypes than adult BM-MSCs. Moreover, their substantial suppressive effect was associated with an outstanding increase of functional CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ T regs compared to BM-MSCs. CONCLUSIONS These results highlight the immunosuppressive activity of FL-MSCs on T cells and show for the first time that one of the main immunoregulatory mechanisms of FL-MSCs passes through active and functional T reg induction.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are powerful immunomodulators that regulate the diverse functions of immune cells involved in allogeneic reactions, such as T cells and natural killer (NK) cells, through cell-cell contact or secreted factors. Exosomes secreted by MSCs may be involved in their regulatory functions, providing new therapeutic tools. Here, we showed that fetal liver (FL) MSC-derived exosomes inhibit proliferation, activation, and cytotoxicity of NK cells. Exosomes bearing latency associated peptide (LAP), TGFβ, and thrombospondin 1 (TSP1), a regulatory molecule for TGFβ, induced downstream TGFβ/Smad2/3 signaling in NK cells. The inhibition of TGFβ, using a neutralizing anti-TGFβ antibody, restored NK proliferation, differentiation, and cytotoxicity, demonstrating that FL-MSC-derived exosomes exert their inhibition on NK cell function via TGFβ. These results suggest that FL-MSC-derived exosomes regulate NK cell functions through exosome-associated TGFβ.

Abstract
Despite advances to engineer transplantable hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) for research and therapy, an in-depth characterization of the developing human hematopoietic system is still lacking. The human embryonic liver is at the crossroad of several hematopoietic sites and harbors a complex hematopoietic hierarchy, including the first actively dividing HSPCs that will further seed the definitive hematopoietic organs. However, few are known about the phenotypic and functional HSPC organization operating at these stages of development. In this study, using a combination of four endothelial and hematopoietic surface markers, that is, the endothelial-specific marker vascular endothelial-cadherin (Cdh5, CD144), the pan-leukocyte antigen CD45, the hemato-endothelial marker CD34, and the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE, CD143), we identified distinct HSPC subsets, and among them, a population co-expressing the four markers that uniquely harbored an outstanding proliferation potential both ex vivo and in vivo. Moreover, we traced back this population to the yolk sac (YS) and aorta-gonad-mesonephros (AGM) sites of hematopoietic emergence. Taken together, our data will help to identify human HSPC self-renewal and amplification mechanisms for future cell therapies.

Abstract
We have characterized the emerging hematopoietic system in the human embryo and fetus. Two embryonic organs, the yolk sac and aorta, support the primary emergence of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), but only the latter contributes lymphomyeloid stem cells for definitive, adult-type hematopoiesis. A common feature of intra- and extraembryonic hematopoiesis is that in both locations hematopoietic cells emerge in close vicinity to vascular endothelial cells. We have provided evidence that a population of angiohematopoietic mesodermal stem cells, marked by the expression of flk-1 and the novel BB9/ACE antigen, migrate from the paraaortic splanchnopleura into the ventral part of the aorta, where they give rise to hemogenic endothelial cells and, in turn, hematopoietic cells. HSCs also appear to develop from endothelium in the embryonic liver and fetal bone marrow, albeit at a much lower frequency. This would imply that the organism does not function during its whole life on a stock of hematopoietic stem cells established in the early embryo, as is usually accepted. We next examined whether the vessel wall can contribute stem cells for other cell lineages, primarily in the model of adult skeletal muscle regeneration. By immunohistochemistry and flow cytometry, we documented the existence in skeletal muscle, besides genuine endothelial and myogenic cells, of a subset of satellite cells that coexpress endothelial cell markers. This suggested the existence of a continuum of differentiation from vascular cells to endothelial cells that was confirmed in long-term culture. The regenerating capacity of these cells expressing both myogenic and endothelial markers is being investigated in skeletal and cardiac muscle, and the results are being compared with those generated by satellite cells. Altogether, these results point to a generalized progenitor potential of a subset of endothelial, or endothelium-like, cells in blood vessel walls, in pre- and postnatal life.

Abstract
During the early weeks of human gestation, hematopoietic cells first emerge within the extraembryonic yolk sac (primitive hematopoiesis) and secondarily within the truncal arteries of the embryo. This second wave includes the stem cells giving rise to adult-type lymphohematopoiesis. In both yolk sac blood islands and embryonic aorta, hematopoietic cells arise in the immediate vicinity of vascular endothelial cells. In vitro hematopoietic differentiation of endothelial cells stringently sorted from human embryonic and fetal blood-forming tissues has demonstrated that primitive endothelium lies at the origin of incipient hematopoiesis. These anatomically and temporally localized blood-forming endothelial cells are ultimately derived from a rare subset of mesodermal angio-hematopoietic stem cells, or hemangioblasts. The evidence for an early progenitor of blood-forming cells within the walls of human embryonic blood vessels concurs with parallel data obtained from lower vertebrate, avian, and murine models. Importantly, converging results have recently been obtained with in vitro differentiated human embryonic stem cells, in which we have modeled primitive and definitive hematopoiesis via an endothelium-like developmental intermediate.

Abstract
We have previously identified a novel site of hematopoietic cell production within the human embryo, which is localised in the ventral wall of the dorsal aorta and vitelline artery. Cells emerging in that territory between 27 and 40 days of gestation exhibit the expected phenotypic, molecular, and functional properties of hematopoietic stem cells and are the first multipotent, lympho-myeloid progenitors that appear in human ontogeny. We have next demonstrated that vascular endothelial cells sorted stringently, by flow cytometry, from the human yolk sac and embryonic aorta exhibit dramatic blood-forming potential in culture. These results suggest a filiation between vascular endothelium and hematopoietic cells in the course of early human ontogeny. More preliminary data indicate that a subpopulation of vascular endothelial cells in the bone marrow may retain this hematogenous potential until adult stages.

Abstract
Hematopoietic cells arise first in the third week of human ontogeny inside yolk sac developing blood vessels, then, one week later and independently, from the wall of the embryonic aorta and vitelline artery. To address the suggested derivation of emerging hematopoietic stem cells from the vessel endothelium, endothelial cells have been sorted by flow cytometry from the yolk sac and aorta and cultured in the presence of stromal cells that support human multilineage hematopoiesis. Embryonic endothelial cells were most accurately selected on CD34 or CD31 surface expression and absence of CD45, which guaranteed the absence of contaminating hematopoietic cells. Yet, rigorously selected endothelial cells yielded a progeny of myelo-lymphoid cells in culture. The frequency of hemogenic endothelial cells in the yolk sac and aorta reflected the actual blood-forming activity of these tissues, as a function of developmental age. Even less expected, a subset of endothelial cells sorted similarly from the embryonic liver and fetal bone marrow also exhibited blood-forming potential. These results suggest that a part at least of emerging hematopoietic cells in the human embryo and fetus originate in vascular walls.

Abstract
We report that stromal cell-derived factor (SDF)-1 has the remarkable capacity to induce sustained signaling through CXC chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4). In contrast to other chemokines, such as monocyte chemotactic protein 1 (CC chemokine receptor 2 [CCR2]), macrophage inflammatory protein 1beta (CCR5), liver and activation-regulated chemokine (LARC [CCR6]), Epstein-Barr virus-induced molecule 1 ligand chemokine (ELC [CCR7]), and IP10 (CXCR3), SDF-1 stimulates the prolonged activation of protein kinase B and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)-2. Activation of protein kinase B is reversed by displacement of SDF-1 from CXCR4 or inhibition of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase. Although increasing concentrations of SDF-1 enhance CXCR4 internalization, kinase activation is prolonged. In addition, restimulation yields >60% of initial protein kinase B activity, indicating that the remaining receptors are not desensitized. Furthermore, activation is prolonged by inhibiting SDF-1 degradation. The sustained activation of cell survival and mitogenic pathways may account for the unique role of SDF-1 and CXCR4 in embryogenesis and lymphopoiesis.

Abstract
The chemokine receptor CXCR4 serves as a coreceptor for HIV-1 entry into CD4+ cells, in particular for strains emerging late in the infection. Cell surface expression of CXCR4 has, therefore, important implications for HIV-1 pathogenesis. Using blood lymphocytes cultured under various conditions, we studied the expression and regulation of CXCR4. Flow cytometry showed that only about 20% of freshly isolated lymphocytes expressed CXCR4 on the cell surface whereas in 80% of resting blood lymphocytes CXCR4 was located intracellularly. Within a few hours in culture, the intracellular CXCR4 was translocated to the surface and was expressed in the large majority of both naive and memory lymphocytes. A decrease in surface expression of CXCR4 was found when lymphocytes cultured overnight for maximal receptor expression were stimulated with phytohemagglutinin, anti-CD3 antibodies, phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate and stromal cell-derived factor-1. The superantigen staphylococcal enterotoxin A, a more selective stimulus, induced a marked decrease in CXCR4 expression preferentially in cells positive for the CD25 activation marker. Confocal laser scanning microscopy demonstrated the presence of CXCR4 in the cytosol and on the surface of resting lymphocytes and also showed CXCR4 redistribution after activation. The number of cells infected by the X4 HIV strain NL4.3 paralleled the expression of CXCR4 in CD4+ T lymphocytes. Sustained reduction of CXCR4 cell surface expression upon activation with phytohemagglutinin correlated with a low number of CD4+ T lymphocytes expressing HIV p24 gag antigen. Our results indicate that activation of CD4+ T lymphocytes reduces surface expression of CXCR4 in part by receptor internalization and that cell activation-dependent CXCR4 down-regulation limits spread of infection by X4 viruses.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite multiple exposures to HIV-1, some individuals remain uninfected, and their peripheral-blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) are resistant to in-vitro infection by primary HIV-1 isolates. Such resistance has been associated with a homozygous 32-base-pair deletion (delta 32) in the C-C chemokine receptor gene CCR5. We examined other mutations of the CCR5 gene that could be associated with resistance to HIV-1 infection. METHODS We assessed the susceptibility of PBMC to in-vitro infection by HIV-1 isolates that use the CCR5 as the major coreceptor for viral entry in 18 men who had frequent unprotected sexual intercourse with a seropositive partner. We also did genotypic analysis of CCR5 alleles. One of the 18 exposed but uninfected men (who we refer to as ExU2) showed total resistance to in-vitro infection by CCR5-dependent viruses, and was found to carry a CCR5 delta 32 allele and a single point mutation (T-->A) at position 303 on the other allele. To find out whether the CCR5 mutation was restricted to ExU2's family or existed in the general population, we did genetic analyses of the CCR5 genotype in ExU2's father and sister and also in 209 healthy blood donors who were not exposed to HIV-1. FINDINGS The m303 mutation found in ExU2 introduced a premature stop codon and prevented the expression of a functional coreceptor. The family studies revealed that the m303 mutant allele was inherited as a single mendelian trait. Genotype analysis showed that three of the 209 healthy blood donors were heterozygous for the mutant allele. INTERPRETATION We characterise a new CCR5 gene mutation, present in the general population, that prevents expression of functional coreceptors from the abnormal allele and confers resistance to HIV-1 infection when associated to the delta 32 CCR5 mutant gene.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chemokines bind to specific receptors and mediate leukocyte migration to sites of inflammation. Recently, some chemokine receptors, notably CXCR4 and CCR5, have been shown to be essential fusion factors on target cells for infection by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV); the chemokines bound by these receptors have also been shown to act as potent inhibitors of HIV infection. Here, we describe the isolation of a novel, putative chemokine receptor. RESULTS We have isolated the cDNA for a putative human chemokine receptor, which we have termed TYMSTR (T-lymphocyte-expressed seven-transmembrane domain receptor). The TYMSTR gene is localized to human chromosome 3 and encodes a protein that has a high level of identity with chemokine receptors. TYMSTR mRNA was selectively expressed in interleukin-2-stimulated T lymphocytes but not in freshly isolated lymphocytes and leukocytes or related cell lines. The natural ligand for TYMSTR was not identified among 32 human chemokines and other potential ligands. Cells co-expressing TYMSTR and human CD4 fused with cells expressing envelope glycoproteins of macrophage (M)-tropic HIV-1 as well as T-cell line (T)-tropic HIV-1 isolates. Addition of infectious, T-tropic HIV-1 particles to TYMSTR/CD4-expressing cells resulted in viral entry and proviral DNA formation. CONCLUSIONS Our findings demonstrate that TYMSTR, in combination with CD4, mediates HIV-1 fusion and entry. The high-level expression of TYMSTR in CD4(+) T lymphocytes and the selectivity of this receptor for T-tropic and M-tropic HIV-1 strains indicates that TYMSTR might function as HIV coreceptor at both early and late stages of infection.

Abstract
Chemokines play a major role in inflammatory responses and affect hematopoiesis both negatively and positively. We show that fresh isolates and laboratory strains (Towne and Ad-169) of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) induce production of the CC chemokine RANTES in fibroblasts. Induction of extracellular RANTES production occurred as early as 8 h after infection, peaked around 24 h after infection, and was almost undetectable by 48 and 72 h. Upregulation occurred in the absence of viral DNA synthesis, suggesting that it was due to immediate-early-early HCMV gene expression. CMV infection stimulated RANTES transcription, since reverse transcription-PCR detected a sharp increase in RANTES RNA which persisted even when extracellular RANTES was no longer detected. Induction of RANTES in fibroblasts was not due to prior induction of tumor necrosis factor alpha or interleukin 1 beta. Down-regulation required an active viral genome. Decrease of RANTES in culture supernatants may be associated with the appearance of the HCMV CC chemokine receptor US28, since we show that this gene is transcribed as early as 8 h after infection. Modulation of CC chemokine production early during CMV infection might have a regulatory effect on viral replication, as well as affect immune surveillance.

Abstract
A putative chemokine receptor that we previously cloned and termed LESTR has recently been shown to function as a co-receptor (termed fusin) for lymphocyte-tropic HIV-1 strains. Cells expressing CD4 became permissive to infection with T-cell-line-adapted HIV-1 strains of the syncytium-inducing phenotype after transfection with LESTR/fusin complementary DNA. We report here the indentification of a human chemokine of the CXC type, stromal cell-derived factor 1 (SDF-1), as the natural ligand for LESTR/fusin, and we propose the term CXCR-4 for this receptor, in keeping with the new chemokine-receptor nomenclature. SDF-1 activates Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells transfected with CXCR-4 cDNA as well as blood leukocytes and lymphocytes. In cell lines expressing CXCR-4 and CD4, and in blood lymphocytes, SDF-1 is a powerful inhibitor of infection by lymphocyte-tropic HIV-1 strains, whereas the CC chemokines RANTES, MIP-1 alpha and MIP-1 beta, which were shown previously to prevent infection with primary, monocyte-tropic viruses, are inactive. In combination with CC chemokines, which block the infection with monocyte/macrophage-tropic viruses, SDF-1 could help to decrease virus load and prevent the emergence of the syncytium-inducing viruses which are characteristic of the late stages of AIDS.
