Abstrakt: Hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) transplantation using umbilical cord blood (UCB) is a potentially life-saving treatment for leukemia and bone marrow failure but is limited by the low number of HSCs in UCB. The loss of HSCs after ex vivo manipulation is also a major obstacle to gene editing for inherited blood disorders. HSCs require a low rate of translation to maintain their capacity for self-renewal, but hematopoietic cytokines used to expand HSCs stimulate protein synthesis and impair long-term self-renewal. We previously described cytokine-free conditions that maintain but do not expand human and mouse HSCs ex vivo. Here we performed a high throughput screen and identified translation inhibitors that allow ex vivo expansion of human HSCs while minimizing cytokine exposure. Transplantation assays show a ~5-fold expansion of long-term HSCs from UCB after one week of culture in low cytokine conditions. Single cell transcriptomic analysis demonstrates maintenance of HSCs expressing mediators of the unfolded protein stress response, further supporting the importance of regulated proteostasis in HSC maintenance and expansion. This expansion method maintains and expands human HSCs after CRISPR/Cas9 editing of the BCL11A+58 enhancer, overcoming a major obstacle to ex vivo gene correction for human hemoglobinopathies.
