Mir-125a Confers Multi-Lineage Long-Term Repopulating Stem Cell Activity to Human Hematopoietic Committed Progenitors
Notice bibliographique
Résumé
Abstract Recent studies have shown that several miRNA are differentially expressed in hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) and involved in regulating self-renewal, pointing to a new axis of epigenetic control of HSC function. Murine studies have documented a role for miR-125a in regulating HSC as miR-125a enforced expression augments self-renewal. We examined whether these attributes are evolutionarily conserved within human hematopoiesis. Lentiviral vectors over-expressing miR-125a (miR-125OE) were developed and HSC function was investigated using xenotransplantation of CD34+ CD38- human umbilical cord blood (CB) hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs). miR-125OE resulted in significantly increased human bone marrow (BM) chimerism at 12 and 24 weeks post-transplantation and splenomegaly. Within enlarged spleens, there were significantly increased proportions of CD34+CD19+CD10+CD20-B lymphoid cells suggesting a partial B cell differentiation block at the pro-B cell stage. In the BM, CD41+ megakaryocytes, GlyA+ erythroid and CD3+ T cell populations were significantly expanded. Within the primitive compartment, multi-lymphoid progenitors (MLP) were massively expanded by 12 weeks, followed by a combined reduction of immuno-phenotypic HSC and multi-potent progenitors (MPP) by 24 weeks. Given this loss of immuno-phenotypic HSC, we wondered whether stem cell function was compromised in vivo. Secondary transplantation with limiting dilution (LDA) revealed that stem cell frequencies were increased by 4.5 fold in miR-125OE recipients. Using lentivirus sponge-mediated inhibition of miR-125 (miR-125KD) in CD34+CD38-human CB, we were able to directly link these effects to miR-125: B cells increased at the expense of T cells; immuno-phenotypic HSC increased with a concomitant loss of MLP; and functional HSC were decreased by 2.5 fold using secondary LDA assays. Together, these data strongly suggest that miR-125a expression levels regulate human HSC self-renewal and lineage commitment. Since HSC frequency increased so substantially upon miR-125OE, we asked whether more committed cell populations might also be endowed with enhanced self-renewal. Highly purified populations of HSC, MPP and MLP and CD34+CD38+ committed progenitors were transduced and transplanted cells into xenografts. Unexpectedly, miR-125OE transduced CD34+CD38+ progenitors produced a substantial graft after 12 weeks. Control transduced CD34+CD38+ cells did not engraft and only control transduced HSC generated a disseminating graft in recipient mice. miR-125OE transduced HSC and MPP generated robust engraftment, while MLP did not. In all cases, xenografts generated by CD34+CD38+ and MPP transduced with miR-125OE showed multi-lineage repopulation. Moreover, the miR-125OE grafts from CD34+CD38+ and MPP recipients were durable as secondary transplantation generated multi-lineage grafts for at least 20 weeks in 5/7 and 6/10 recipients, respectively; no control transduced groups generated secondary grafts. Thus, the enhancement of self-renewal by enforced expression of miR-125a occurs not only in HSC, but also in MPP and to an as yet unidentified subpopulation within the CD34+38+ committed progenitor compartment. Using protein mass spectrometry, we identified and validated a miR-125a target network in CD34+ CB that normally functions to restrain self-renewal in more committed progenitors. Together, our data suggest that increased miR-125a expression can endow an HSC-like program upon a selected set of non-self-renewing hematopoietic progenitors. Our findings offer the innovative potential to use MPP with enhanced self-renewal to augment limited sources of HSC to improve clinical outcomes.

Le volet Gemma est une étiquette directe du modèle pour chaque travail de la base, lue sur la notice réduite au titre. Le volet Codex est un classifieur appris des 10 348 étiquettes directes de Codex et calibré sur les taux pondérés de l'échantillon; les champs sans appui suffisant ne portent aucun appel Codex. Le mode candidate est l'union des deux volets; le consensus est leur intersection. Ces sorties portent le statut machine_predicted_unvalidated et ne sont pas des étiquettes humaines.
