Description of the project
Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are responsible for the production and replenishment of all blood cell types throughout life. How HSCs are formed and acquire their stem cell properties, i.e.
self-renewal and multipotency, has inspired scientists and clinicians for many decades, leading to life-saving medical treatments, such as HSC transplantation.
The adult HSC identity is already specified in the embryo, where concomitant with the initiation of the heartbeat, some
endothelial cells embedded in the wall of the aorta gain a hemogenic potential, allowing these cells to transdifferentiate to acquire an HSC fate.
This project will explore the fundamental requirement to regulate HSC production by the transcription factor Gata2 both in vivo (in zebrafish models) and in vitro.
Different cellular and molecular experimental approaches will be used, including cell culture, western blot, cloning, PCR, Crispr-cas9, live imaging in zebrafish embryos, FACS.
The overall goal of this innovative project is to explore how different mutations reported in childhood patients (i) affect the function of GATA2 at the molecular level, (ii) predispose to MDS/AML (onset and progression of aberrant hematopoiesis) and (iii) impact the treatment response _in vivo_.
