Abstract

ARAP3 is a GTPase-activating protein (GAP) that inactivates Arf6 and RhoA small GTPases. ARAP3 deficiency in mice causes a sprouting angiogenic defect resulting in embryonic lethality by E11. Mice with an ARAP3 R302,303A mutation (Arap3KI/KI) that prevents activation by phosphoinositide-3-kinase (PI3K) have a similar angiogenic phenotype, although some animals survive to adulthood. Here, we report that hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) from rare adult Arap3KI/KI bone marrow are compromised in their ability to reconstitute recipient mice and to self-renew. To elucidate the potential cell-autonomous and non-cell-autonomous roles of ARAP3 in hematopoiesis, we conditionally deleted Arap3 in hematopoietic cells and in several cell types within the HSC niche. Excision of Arap3 in hematopoietic cells using Vav1-Cre does not alter the ability of ARAP3-deficient progenitor cells to proliferate and differentiate in vitro or ARAP3-deficient HSCs to provide multi-lineage reconstitution and to undergo self-renewal in vivo. Thus, our data suggest that ARAP3 does not play a cell-autonomous role in HSPCs. Deletion of Arap3 in osteoblasts and mesenchymal stromal cells using Prx1-Cre resulted in no discernable phenotypes in hematopoietic development or HSC homeostasis in adult mice. In contrast, deletion of Arap3 using vascular endothelial cadherin (VEC or Cdh5)-driven Cre resulted in embryonic lethality, however HSCs from surviving adult mice were largely normal. Reverse transplantations into VEC-driven Arap3 conditional knockout mice revealed no discernable difference in HSC frequencies or function in comparison to control mice. Taken together, our investigation suggests that despite a critical role for ARAP3 in embryonic vascular development, its loss in endothelial cells minimally impacts HSCs in adult bone marrow.

摘要

ARAP3是一种GTP酶激活蛋白(GAP),可使Arf6和RhoA小GTP酶失活。小鼠中ARAP3缺乏会导致发芽血管生成缺陷,导致胚胎在E11时死亡。具有阻止磷酸肌醇-3-激酶(PI3K)激活的ARAP3 R302,303A突变(Arap3KI/KI)的小鼠具有相似的血管生成表型,尽管一些动物能存活到成年。在这里,我们报告说,来自罕见成年Arap3KI/KI骨髓的造血干细胞(HSC)在重建受体小鼠和自我更新的能力方面受到损害。为了阐明ARAP3在造血过程中潜在的细胞自主和非细胞自主作用,我们在造血细胞和HSC生态位内的几种细胞类型中条件性删除了Arap3。使用Vav1-Cre在造血细胞中切除Arap3不会改变ARAP3缺陷祖细胞在体外增殖和分化的能力,也不会改变ARAP3缺陷HSC在体内提供多谱系重建和进行自我更新的能力。因此,我们的数据表明ARAP3在造血干细胞中不发挥细胞自主作用。使用Prx1-Cre在成骨细胞和间充质基质细胞中删除Arap3,在成年小鼠的造血发育或HSC稳态中未产生可识别的表型。相比之下,使用血管内皮钙黏蛋白(VEC或Cdh5)驱动的Cre删除Arap3会导致胚胎致死,但存活成年小鼠的HSC基本正常。将其反向移植到VEC驱动的Arap3条件性敲除小鼠中发现,与对照小鼠相比,HSC频率或功能没有明显差异。综上所述,我们的研究表明,尽管ARAP3在胚胎血管发育中起关键作用,但其在内皮细胞中的缺失对成年骨髓中的HSC影响最小。
