Abstract

The human bone marrow (BM) microenvironment involves hematopoietic and non-hematopoietic cell subsets organized in a complex architecture. Tremendous efforts have been made to model it in order to analyse normal or pathological hematopoiesis and its stromal counterpart. Herein, we report an original, fully-human in vitro 3D model of the BM microenvironment dedicated to study interactions taking place between mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) and hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPC) during the hematopoietic differentiation. This artificial marrow organoid (AMO) model is highly efficient to support NK cell development from the CD34+ HSPC to the terminally differentiated NKG2A-KIR2D+CD57+ NK subset. In addition, myeloid differentiation can also be recapitulated in this model. Moreover, mature NK cell phenotype showed significant differences in the AMO compared to a conventional 2D coculture model for the expression of adhesion molecules and immune checkpoint receptors, thus better reflecting the NK cell behaviour in the BM microenvironment. Lastly, we proved that our model is suitable for evaluating anti-leukemic NK cell function in presence of treatments. Overall, the AMO is a versatile, low cost and simple model able to efficiently recapitulate hematopoiesis and granting better drug response taking into account both immune and non-immune BM microenvironment interactions.

Differential requirement for the Ire1 luminal domain in Candida albicans drug susceptibility and pathogenicity

The opportunistic human pathogen Candida albicans depends on the unfolded protein response (UPR) for cell wall integrity, antifungal tolerance, filamentous growth, and virulence. The UPR is driven by the conserved transmembrane sensor Ire1, which is activated either by misfolded proteins through its luminal domain or by lipid bilayer stress (LBS) through its transmembrane domain. In budding yeast, these two activation modes deploy divergent transcriptional programs. Whether the requirement for these two input domains is separable in C. albicans, where the cell membrane and cell wall are themselves the targets of major antifungal drug classes, remains unknown. Here, we engineered a C. albicans strain expressing Ire1 lacking an intact luminal domain (ire1{Delta}LD), which no longer detects proteotoxic stress. The ire1{Delta}LD strain grew in the presence of the azole antifungals fluconazole and miconazole but was highly sensitive to heat shock, cell wall stress, and the echinocandin caspofungin. It was also unable to sustain filamentous growth and showed reduced virulence in a Caenorhabditis elegans infection model. RNA sequencing revealed only modest changes to the steady-state transcriptome of ire1{Delta}LD cells. Together, these findings define a differential requirement for the input domains of C. albicans Ire1, uncoupling growth under azole-induced membrane stress from the cell wall, thermal, and virulence-associated outputs that depend on proteotoxic sensing, a distinction that could inform antifungal strategies targeting the UPR.

Nucleosome Core Allostery Governs Chromatin Recognition and Cell Fate

Nucleosomes regulate chromatin folding, accessibility, and factor recruitment. Current models primarily attribute these functions to histone tail modifications, while the core is largely viewed as a structural scaffold. Yet subtle changes within the nucleosome core can produce profound functional consequences, and the mechanisms underlying these effects remain unclear. Here, we describe nucleosome core allostery as a fundamental principle of chromatin regulation that amplifies the impact of minimal nucleosome variations. Leveraging natural differences between H2A.Z variants, we show that the nucleosome core encodes distinct conformational dynamics that propagate allosterically, thereby controlling nucleosome accessibility and recognition by chromatin factors. As a result, a single buried amino acid substitution alone is sufficient to reprogram nucleosome dynamics and bias cell identity. Our findings establish the nucleosome core as an allosteric regulatory module and provide a generalizable framework for how subtle variation within nucleosomes is amplified into diverse biological outcomes in development and disease.

YAP/TAZ-controlled ERK dynamics coordinate progenitor expansion and differentiation commitment

Progenitor cells must proliferate to expand the cell population, yet terminal differentiation requires this proliferative state to end. How signaling controls the duration of this proliferative window remains poorly understood. Using adipogenesis and live single-cell imaging of differentiation, cell-cycle, and ERK-activity reporters, we show that YAP and TAZ coordinate progenitor expansion with differentiation commitment by regulating ERK dynamics. YAP/TAZ maintain cells in a fluctuating high-ERK state that promotes proliferation while actively keeping the differentiation driver PPARG below the threshold for irreversible commitment. Crucially, this differentiation block is not explained by proliferation alone: inhibiting CDK4/6 or AKT suppressed proliferation without restoring differentiation, whereas MEK-ERK inhibition restored differentiation even when YAP/TAZ activity remained high. As YAP/TAZ activity decreases, dampened ERK fluctuations trigger PPARG activation. These findings support a self-limiting model in which YAP/TAZ-driven progenitor expansion progressively increases cell density and contact-dependent Hippo signaling, reducing YAP/TAZ activity and terminating the proliferative phase. Consequently, transient YAP/TAZ activation expands the progenitor pool while preserving subsequent differentiation, whereas sustained activation suppresses commitment. Together, these findings identify YAP/TAZ-controlled ERK dynamics as the nexus coordinating progenitor expansion with terminal differentiation and suggest that slower density-dependent Hippo feedback may set the duration of this proliferative window to regulate differentiated cell-number output.
