Description
Various mesenchymal cell types have been identified as critical components of the hematopoietic stem/progenitor cell (HSPC) niche. Although several groups have described the generation of mesenchyme from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSC), the capacity of such cells to support hematopoiesis has not been reported. Here we have demonstrated that distinct mesenchymal subpopulations co-emerge from mesoderm during hPSC differentiation. Despite co-expression of common mesenchymal markers (CD73, CD105, CD90, PDGFRß), a subset of cells defined as CD146++CD140alow supported functional HSPC ex vivo while CD146-CD140a+ cells drove differentiation. The CD146++ subset expressed genes associated with the HSPC niche and high levels of the Wnt inhibitors. HSPC support was contact-dependent and was mediated in part through JAG1 expression. Molecular profiling revealed remarkable transcriptional similarity between hPSC-derived CD146++ and primary human CD146++ perivascular cells. The derivation of diverse pools of mesenchymal populations from hPSC opens potential avenues to model their developmental and functional differences and to improve cell-based therapeutics from hPSC. Overall design: Our goal was to analyze and compare transcriptome of human pluripoten stem cell-derived mesenchyme (CD146++ and CD146-) with primary human lipoaspirate tissue-derived pericyte (CD146+) and CD146- mesenchymal populations.

Description
Studies of adult human hematopoiesis have until now relied on the expression of CD10 to define lymphoid commitment. We report a novel lymphoid-primed population in human bone marrow that is generated from hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) prior to the onset of CD10 expression and B cell commitment, and is identified by high levels of the homing molecule L-selectin (CD62L). CD10-CD62Lhi progenitors have full lymphoid (B/T/NK) potential, and show reduced myeloid and absent erythroid potential. Genome-wide gene expression analysis demonstrates that the CD10-CD62Lhi population represents an intermediate stage of differentiation between CD34+CD38- HSC and CD34+lin-CD10+ progenitors marked by down-regulation of TAL1 and MPL, upregulation of E2A, CD3E and IL2RG expression, and absent B cell commitment or RAG1/2 expression. Immature CD34+CD1a- thymocytes are also CD62Lhi and L-selectin ligands are expressed at the cortico-medullary junction, suggesting a possible role for L-selectin in human thymic homing. These studies identify the earliest stage of lymphoid priming in human bone marrow.

Description
Although clonal studies of lineage potential have been extensively applied to organ specific stem and progenitor cells, much less is known about the clonal origins of lineages formed from the germ layers in early embryogenesis. We applied lentiviral tagging followed by vector integration site analysis (VISA) with high-throughput sequencing to investigate the ontogeny of the hematopoietic, endothelial and mesenchymal lineages as they emerge from human embryonic mesoderm. In contrast to studies that have used VISA to track differentiation of self-renewing stem cell clones that amplify significantly over time, we focused on a population of progenitor clones with limited self-renewal capability. Our analyses uncovered the critical influence of sampling on the interpretation of lentiviral tag sharing, particularly among complex populations with minimal clonal duplication. By applying a quantitative framework to estimate the degree of undersampling we revealed the existence of tripotent mesodermal progenitors derived from pluripotent stem cells, and the subsequent bifurcation of their differentiation into exclusively bipotent endothelial/hematopoietic or endothelial/mesenchymal progenitors. Overall design: Our goal was to analyze transcriptome changes of mesoderm commitment during human embyronic stem cells differentiation. RNA were extracted and sequenced from two populations, human embryonic stem cells (H1 line) and the human early mesodermal progenitors (hEMP) differentiated from H1.

Description
To investigate the effects of BCL11B on T-cell differentiation, we performed gain of function studies in cells with a T-lineage differentiation arrest, namely T-ALL cells. Gene expression profiling by RNA-Seq demonstrated that BCL11B overexpression induced transcriptional changes consistent with T-cell differentiation as early as 72 hours after transduction, indicating a rapid regulatory effect of BCL11B on the T-lineage transcriptional program and supporting an important role for BCL11B in human T-cell differentiation. Overall design: T-ALL cells were transduced with a BCL11B-GFP expression vector (overexpressing cells) or an empty GFP vector (control cells). GFP+ cells were isolated by fluorescence activation cell sorting (FACS) at 72 hours post transduction and analyzed by RNA-Seq to determine the effect of BCL11B on the transcriptome of T-ALL cells.

Description
To elucidate the transcriptional ‘landscape’ that regulates human lymphoid commitment during postnatal life, we used RNA sequencing to assemble the long non-coding transcriptome across human bone marrow and thymic progenitor cells spanning the earliest stages of B lymphoid and T lymphoid specification. Over 3,000 genes encoding previously unknown long non-coding RNA (lncRNAs) were revealed through the analysis of these rare populations. Lymphoid commitment was characterized by lncRNA expression patterns that were highly stage specific and were more lineage specific than those of protein-coding genes. Protein-coding genes co-expressed with neighboring lncRNA genes showed enrichment for ontologies related to lymphoid differentiation. The exquisite cell-type specificity of global lncRNA expression patterns independently revealed new developmental relationships among the earliest progenitor cells in the human bone marrow and thymus. Overall design: We performed RNA-Seq of 10 distinct cell types isolated by fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS). From BM, we isolated CD34+CD38neglinneg cells, a population highly enriched for HSC, as well as three lymphoid progenitor populations; LMPP (CD34+CD45RA+CD38+CD10neg CD62Lhilinneg), CLP (CD34+CD38+CD10+CD45RA+linneg ) and fully B cell committed progenitors (BCP, CD34+CD38+CD19+). From thymus we isolated three CD34+ subsets; Thy1 (CD34+CD7neg CD1aneg CD4negCD8neg), Thy2 (CD34+CD7+CD1aneg CD4negCD8neg), and Thy 3 (CD34+CD7+CD1a+CD4negCD8neg), as well as fully T cell committed populations CD4+CD8+ (Thy 4), CD3+CD4+CD8neg (Thy5) and CD3+CD4neg CD8+ (Thy6).

Description
It is fundamentally unknown how normal cellular processes or responses to extracellular stimuli may invoke polyadenylation and degradation of ncRNA substrates or if human disease processes exhibit defects in polyadenylation of ncRNA substrates as part of their pathogenesis. Our results demonstrate that mononuclear cells from subjects with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) exhibit pervasive increases in levels of polyadenylated ncRNAs including Y1 RNA, 18S and 28S rRNA, and U1, U2, and U4 snRNAs and these defects are unique to RRMS. Defects in expression of both Ro60 and La proteins in RRMS appear to contribute to increased polyadenylation of ncRNAs. Further, IFN-ß1b, a common RRMS therapy, restores both Ro60 and La levels to normal as well as levels of polyadenylated Y1 RNA and U1 snRNA suggesting that aberrant polyadenylation of ncRNA substrates may have pathogenic consequences. Overall design: We extracted RNA from peripheral whole blood in healthy control subjects and patients with established relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis using PaxGene tubes.

Description
To improve our understanding of lncRNA expression in T cells, we used whole genome sequencing (RNA-seq) to identify lncRNAs expressed in human T cells and those selectively expressed in T cells differentiated under TH1, TH2, or TH17 polarizing conditions. The majority of these lineage-specific lncRNAs are co-expressed with lineage-specific protein-coding genes. These lncRNAs are predominantly intragenic with co-expressed protein-coding genes and are transcribed in sense and antisense orientations with approximately equal frequencies. Further, genes encoding TH lineage specific mRNAs are not randomly distributed across the genome but are highly enriched in the genome in genomic regions also containing genes encoding TH lineage-specific lncRNAs. Our analyses also identify a cluster of antisense lncRNAs transcribed from the RAD50 locus that are selectively expressed under TH2 polarizing conditions and co-expressed with IL4, IL5 and IL13 genes. Depletion of these lncRNAs via selective siRNA treatment demonstrates the critical requirement of these lncRNAs for expression of the TH2 cytokines, IL-4, IL-5 and IL-13. Collectively, our analyses identify new lncRNAs expressed in a TH lineage specific manner and identify a critical role for a cluster of lncRNAs for expression of genes encoding TH2 cytokines. Overall design: Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were cultured under TH1, TH2, and TH17 polarizing conditions. TH1, TH2, and TH17 primary and effector cultures were isolated and poly(A)+ and total RNA sequencing performed.

Description
The most immature progenitors in the murine thymus are early T lineage progenitors (ETP). These cells are the precursors of more mature thymocytes that ultimately leave the thymus and colonize peripheral lymphoid tissues. As part of our efforts to define age-related changes in ETP, we harvested them from mice of different ages and performed whole transcriptome profiling. This analysis revealed major differences in patterns of gene expression between young and old ETP, and we were particularly struck by the significantly reduced expression of the gene encoding high mobility group A 2 protein (Hmga2). Overall design: The experiment compares gene expression in young adult (4-6 week old) and old (72 week old) mouse Early T Lineage Progenitors (ETP)

Description
Advances in pluripotent stem cell and reprogramming technologies have given hope of generating hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) in culture. To succeed, greater understanding of the self-renewing HSC during human development is required. We discovered that glycophosphatidylinositol-anchored surface protein GPI-80 (Vanin 2) defines a distinct subpopulation of human fetal hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPC) with self-renewal ability. CD34+CD90+CD38-GPI-80+ HSPC were the sole population that maintained proliferative potential and undifferentiated state in bone marrow stroma co-culture, and engrafted in immunodeficient mice. GPI-80 expression also enabled tracking of HSC migration between human fetal hematopoietic niches. The most highly enriched surface protein in GPI-80+ HSPC as compared to their progeny was Integrin alpha-M (ITGAM), which in leukocytes cooperates with GPI-80 to support migration. Knockdown of either GPI-80 or ITGAM was sufficient to perturb undifferentiated HSPC in stroma co-culture. These findings indicate that human fetal HSC utilize common mechanisms with leukocytes for cell-cell interactions governing HSC self-renewal.
