Quantifying Hematopoietic Stem Cell Clones

Clone size calculations were determined as previously described [12] (link). After 10 days of culture, single HSC-derived clones were estimated to be small (50–5,000 cells), medium (5,000–20,000 cells), or large (≥20,000). No clones had fewer than 50 cells. Ten-day clones were stained with biotinylated lineage marker antibodies (Haematopoietic Progenitor Enrichment Cocktail, STEMCELL), c-Kit-APC (BD) and Sca-1-Pacific Blue (Biolegend). To enumerate cells, a defined number of fluorescent beads (Trucount Control Beads, BD) were added to each well, and each sample was backcalculated to the proportion of the total that were run through the cytometer. Small clones were not able to be assessed individually by flow cytometry and were pooled; the percentage of c-Kit+Sca+Lin (KSL) cells was greater than 95%. Flow cytometry was performed on an LSRII Fortessa (BD), and all data were analyzed using Flowjo 10.0.7 (Treestar, USA).

Hematopoietic stem cell precursor cells (HSPCs) and myeloid progenitor cells including common myeloid progenitor cells (CMPs) and granulocyte-monocyte progenitor cells (GMPs) from bone marrow were analyzed by flow cytometry as described in Figure S2D. Bone marrow was harvested from femurs and tibias by flushing bones with cold Hank’s balanced salt solution (HBSS) containing 0.1% BSA and 2mM EDTA. RBC lysis was performed once for 5 minutes, followed by antibody staining with a cocktail of antibodies against lineage-committed cells (CD3e, CD19, CD45R (B220), CD11b, TER-119, CD2, CD8b, CD4, Ly6G; all FITC-labeled and from eBioscience), Sca-1 Pacific Blue, c-kit (CD117) APC-Cy7, CD34 APC, CD16/CD32 (FcyRII/III) PerCp-Cy5.5 (all from BioLegend). HSPCs were identified as lin- Sca-1+ c-kit+; CMPs as lin Sca1 c-kit+ CD34int FcγRII/IIIint; GMPs as lin Sca1 c-kit+ CD34int FcγRII/IIIhi. Isolated and stained bone marrow cells were either directly analyzed by LSRII (BD), or flow sorted by FACS Aria II for further RNA isolation and RNA/ATAC-sequencing, or in vitro assays.

Matrigel droplets were degraded in 0.5% trypsin, 0.5 mM EDTA in PBS for 8 min at 37°C. Trypsin was neutralized using cold KGM. After centrifugation for 5 min at 600 g, cells were washed with FACS buffer (2% FBS, 2 mM EDTA in PBS). Surface marker staining was performed for 30 min on ice with the following antibodies: CD34-eFluor 660 (eBioscience, clone RAM34, 1:100) and ITGA6-PE/Cy7 (Biolegend, clone GoH3, 1:1000) for sorting or CD34-eFluor 660 (eBioscience, clone RAM34, 1:100) and ITGA6-Pacific Blue (Biolegend, clone GoH3, 1:200) for analysis. Freshly isolated keratinocytes were stained additionally with Sca1-Pacific Blue (Biolegend, clone D7, 1:400). 7AAD or propidium iodide (PI) was used to exclude dead cells. Cells were analyzed on FACSCantoII (BD Biosciences) or sorted on FACSAria IIIu Svea and FACSAria Fusion sorters (BD Biosciences). Sorted cells were collected in 15 ml tubes containing KGM at 4°C.

BM suspensions were prepared as described above, and lineage-positive cells were depleted using a lineage depletion kit (eBioscience mouse hematopoietic lineage biotin panel; ThermoFisher Scientific) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Briefly, BM derived from the femurs and tibiae of three mice was incubated with biotinylated antibodies against CD3, B220, Gr1, and Ter119 in a volume of 1 ml PBS/0.1% BSA for 10 min at 4°C. Cells were then washed and incubated with 0.4 ml streptavidin bound to magnetic beads (Magnisort beads; ThermoFisher Scientific) in a volume of 2 ml PBS/0.1% BSA in a FACS tube for 10 min at room temperature. The volume was then made up to 4 ml, and the FACS tube was placed inside a magnet for 10 min at room temperature. The fraction of cells not bound to the magnet was poured out and stained for FACS as described above.
Pre–CFU-Es and CFU-Es were sorted by FACS using a FACS ARIA III (BD) with 70-µm nozzle. For culture, cells were sorted into 0.5 ml IMDM medium with 5% FCS in a 5-ml FACS tube. For RT quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR), cells were sorted into 350 µl RLT buffer with β-mercaptoethanol in 1.5 ml tubes. The following staining panel was used for sorting: Sca-1-Pacific blue, PE-CD117, APC-CD105, PerCP Cy5.5-CD11b and Streptavidin (BioLegend), APC Cy7-CD16/32, PE Cy7-CD41, BV605-CD150.

Femora, tibiae and ilia were isolated and gently crushed in staining medium (PBS + 5mM EDTA + 2% fetal bovine serum). Unless stated otherwise, for each untreated (−) sample, the bone marrow of 3 mice were pooled, and for each pI:pC sample the bone marrow of 2 mice were pooled, to increase sample size and to decrease artefacts based on mouse-to-mouse variability. Red blood cells were lysed using Ammonium-Chloride-Potassium (ACK) lysing buffer for 1min on ice. CD117 (c-KIT) positive cells were enriched using CD117 MicroBeads (Miltenyi Biotec) and subsequently immunostained using the antibodies listed here below. Propidium Iodide (ThermoFisher Scientific) was used for negative selection of dead cells. All sorting experiments were performed using BD FACS Aria II or III flow cytometer (BD Biosciences), using the gating strategy illustrated in Figure S1A.

Antibodies used include SCA1 Pacific Blue (BioLegend, 108120), CD45 PE-Cy7 (eBioscience, 25-0421-82), CD11b APC-Cy7 (BioLegend, 101226), and CD31 APC (eBioscience, 17-0311-82). SVF was prepared as for cell culture, except that following centrifugation, the resulting cell pellet was resuspended in 1 ml ACK Lysing Buffer (Invitrogen) to remove red blood cells. After inactivation with Hank’s balanced salt solution (HBSS)/2% FBS, samples were centrifuged again and resuspended in HBSS/2% FBS for antibody labeling for flow cytometry or fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS). Samples were analyzed on a BD LSR Fortessa analyzer or sorted on a BD FACS Aria II. Cell gating was based on comparison with unstained and fluorescence-minus-one-stained controls. Single live cells were discriminated by forward-scatter and side-scatter analysis and 7-AAD labeling (BD Bioscience), respectively. Cells were sorted into serum-free DMEM media for gene expression analysis or into complete media for cell culture. Flow cytometry standard files were analyzed using FlowJo version 10.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
