  • Insulin–Insr Signaling Drives Multipotent Progenitor Differentiation Toward Lymphoid Lineages
    Article Insulin–InsR signaling drives multipotent progenitor differentiation toward lymphoid lineages Pengyan Xia,1* Shuo Wang,1* Ying Du,1 Guanling Huang,1,2 Takashi Satoh,3 Shizuo Akira,3 and Zusen Fan1 1Key Laboratory of Infection and Immunity of CAS, Institute of Biophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100101, China 2University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China 3Department of Host Defense, Research Institute for Microbial Diseases (RIMD), Osaka University, Suita, Osaka 565-0871, Japan The lineage commitment of HSCs generates balanced myeloid and lymphoid populations in hematopoiesis. However, the un- derlying mechanisms that control this process remain largely unknown. Here, we show that insulin–insulin receptor (InsR) signaling is required for lineage commitment of multipotent progenitors (MPPs). Deletion of Insr in murine bone marrow causes skewed differentiation of MPPs to myeloid cells. mTOR acts as a downstream effector that modulates MPP differentiation. mTOR activates Stat3 by phosphorylation at serine 727 under insulin stimulation, which binds to the promoter of Ikaros, lead- ing to its transcription priming. Our findings reveal that the insulin–InsR signaling drives MPP differentiation into lymphoid lineages in early lymphopoiesis, which is essential for maintaining a balanced immune system for an individual organism.

  • Recombinant Human Thrombopoietin Promotes Hematopoietic
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Recombinant human thrombopoietin promotes hematopoietic reconstruction after Received: 08 February 2015 Accepted: 06 July 2015 severe whole body irradiation Published: 25 September 2015 Chao Wang1,3,*, Bowen Zhang1,2,*, Sihan Wang1,2, Jing Zhang1,2, Yiming Liu1,2, Jingxue Wang1,2, Zeng Fan1,2, Yang Lv1,2, Xiuyuan Zhang1,2, Lijuan He1,2, Lin Chen1,2, Huanzhang Xia3, Yanhua Li1,2 & Xuetao Pei1,2 Recombinant human thrombopoietin (rHuTPO) is a drug that is used clinically to promote megakaryocyte and platelet generation. Here, we report the mitigative effect of rHuTPO (administered after exposure) against severe whole body irradiation in mice. Injection of rHuTPO for 14 consecutive days following exposure significantly improved the survival rate of lethally irradiated mice. RHuTPO treatment notably increased bone marrow cell density and LSK cell numbers in the mice after sub-lethal irradiation primarily by promoting residual HSC proliferation. In lethally irradiated mice with hematopoietic cell transplantation, rHuTPO treatment increased the survival rate and enhanced hematopoietic cell engraftment compared with the placebo treatment. Our observations indicate that recombinant human TPO might have a therapeutic role in promoting hematopoietic reconstitution and HSC engraftment. Accidental ionizing radiation exposure induces vital organ dysfunction syndromes in healthy individuals in radiological scenarios. The hematopoietic system is a radiosensitive organ that is highly suscepti- ble to damage1–3, and such damage can result in death. Clinically, radiation therapy or chemotherapy for patients with malignant diseases often leads to serious hematopoietic system damage. Modulation of the hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) population is considered to be key for realizing long-term sur- vival of patients.

  • CD Markers Are Routinely Used for the Immunophenotyping of Cells
    ptglab.com 1 CD MARKER ANTIBODIES www.ptglab.com Introduction The cluster of differentiation (abbreviated as CD) is a protocol used for the identification and investigation of cell surface molecules. So-called CD markers are routinely used for the immunophenotyping of cells. Despite this use, they are not limited to roles in the immune system and perform a variety of roles in cell differentiation, adhesion, migration, blood clotting, gamete fertilization, amino acid transport and apoptosis, among many others. As such, Proteintech’s mini catalog featuring its antibodies targeting CD markers is applicable to a wide range of research disciplines.

  • Pim1 Kinase Regulates C-Kit Gene Translation
    An et al. Exp Hematol Oncol (2016) 5:31 DOI 10.1186/s40164-016-0060-3 Experimental Hematology & Oncology SHORT REPORT Open Access Pim1 kinase regulates c‑Kit gene translation Ningfei An1, Bo Cen2, Houjian Cai3, Jin H. Song4, Andrew Kraft4 and Yubin Kang5* Abstract Background: Receptor tyrosine kinase, c-Kit (CD117) plays a pivotal role in the maintenance and expansion of hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs). Additionally, over-expression and/or mutational activation of c-Kit have been implicated in numerous malignant diseases including acute myeloid leukemia. However, the translational regu- lation of c-Kit expression remains largely unknown. Methods and results: We demonstrated that loss of Pim1 led to specific down-regulation of c-Kit expression in / / / / HSPCs of Pim1− − mice and Pim1− −2− −3− − triple knockout (TKO) mice, and resulted in attenuated ERK and STAT3 signaling in response to stimulation with stem cell factor. Transduction of c-Kit restored the defects in colony forming / capacity seen in HSPCs from Pim1− − and TKO mice. Pharmacologic inhibition and genetic modification studies using human megakaryoblastic leukemia cells confirmed the regulation of c-Kit expression by Pim1 kinase: i.e., Pim1-specific shRNA knockdown down-regulated the expression of c-Kit whereas overexpression of Pim1 up-regulated the expres- sion of c-Kit. Mechanistically, inhibition or knockout of Pim1 kinase did not affect the transcription of c-Kit gene. Pim1 kinase enhanced c-Kit 35S methionine labeling and increased the incorporation of c-Kit mRNAs into the polysomes and monosomes, demonstrating that Pim1 kinase regulates c-Kit expression at the translational level.

Kortüm 1,8 The presence of FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3-internal tandem duplication (FLT3-ITD) is one of 1234567890():,; the most frequent mutations in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and is associated with an unfavorable prognosis. FLT3 inhibitors, such as midostaurin, are used clinically but fail to entirely eradicate FLT3-ITD + AML. This study introduces a new perspective and highlights the impact of RAC1-dependent actin cytoskeleton remodeling on resistance to midostaurin in AML. RAC1 hyperactivation leads resistance via hyperphosphorylation of the positive reg- ulator of actin polymerization N-WASP and antiapoptotic BCL-2. RAC1/N-WASP, through ARP2/3 complex activation, increases the number of actin filaments, cell stiffness and adhesion forces to mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) being identified as a biomarker of resistance. Midostaurin resistance can be overcome by a combination of midostaruin, the BCL-2 inhibitor venetoclax and the RAC1 inhibitor Eht1864 in midostaurin-resistant AML cell lines and primary samples, providing the first evidence of a potential new treatment approach to eradicate FLT3-ITD + AML. 1 Department of Internal Medicine II, University Hospital Würzburg, Würzburg, Germany. 2 Department of Functional Materials in Medicine and Dentistry and Bavarian Polymer Institute, University of Würzburg, Würzburg, Germany.

  • Pathway Entry Into the T Lymphocyte Developmental Molecular Dissection of Prethymic Progenitor
    The Journal of Immunology Molecular Dissection of Prethymic Progenitor Entry into the T Lymphocyte Developmental Pathway1 C. Chace Tydell,2 Elizabeth-Sharon David-Fung,2,3 Jonathan E. Moore, Lee Rowen,4 Tom Taghon,5 and Ellen V. Rothenberg6 Notch signaling activates T lineage differentiation from hemopoietic progenitors, but relatively few regulators that initiate this program have been identified, e.g., GATA3 and T cell factor-1 (TCF-1) (gene name Tcf7). To identify additional regulators of T cell specification, a cDNA library from mouse Pro-T cells was screened for genes that are specifically up-regulated in intrathymic T cell precursors as compared with myeloid progenitors. Over 90 genes of interest were iden- tified, and 35 of 44 tested were confirmed to be more highly expressed in T lineage precursors relative to precursors of B and/or myeloid lineage. To a remarkable extent, however, expression of these T lineage-enriched genes, including zinc finger transcription factor, helicase, and signaling adaptor genes, was also shared by stem cells (Lin؊Sca-1؉Kit؉CD27؊) and multipotent progenitors (Lin؊Sca-1؉Kit؉CD27؉), although down-regulated in other lineages. Thus, a major fraction of these early T lineage genes are a regulatory legacy from stem cells. The few genes sharply up-regulated between multipotent progenitors and Pro-T cell stages included those encoding transcription factors Bcl11b, TCF-1 (Tcf7), and HEBalt, Notch target Deltex1, Deltex3L, Fkbp5, Eva1, and Tmem131. Like GATA3 and Deltex1, Bcl11b, Fkbp5, and Eva1 were dependent on Notch/Delta signaling for induction in fetal liver precursors, but only Bcl11b and HEBalt were up-regulated between the first two stages of intrathymic T cell development (double negative 1 and double negative 2) corresponding to T lineage specification.
