Abstract
Neutrophils play an essential role in the innate immune defense system in vertebrates. During hematopoiesis, the full function of neutrophils involves maturation of granules and related enzymes. Yet, transcription regulators that promote neutrophil maturation remain largely undefined. Here, two hematopoiesis-defective zebrafish mutants, runx1w84x and c-mybhkz3, were used to investigate the in vivo roles of Runx1 in cooperation with c-Myb in regulating neutrophil maturation. Loss of runx1 impairs primitive neutrophil development. Additional regulation of c-myb+/− and c-myb−/− induces a more severe phenotypes suggesting a synergistic genetic interaction between c-myb and runx1 in neutrophil maturation. Further studies revealed that the two transcription factors act cooperatively to control neutrophil maturation processes via transactivating a series of neutrophil maturation-related genes. These data reveal the in vivo roles of Runx1 in regulating primitive neutrophil maturation while also indicating a novel genetic and molecular orchestration of Runx1 and c-Myb in myeloid cell development. The study will provide new evidence on the regulation of neutrophil maturation during hematopoiesis. Neutrophils play an essential role in the innate immune defense system in vertebrates.

Neutrophils are the most abundant phagocytes essential for the first line of defense in the innate immune system. Mature neutrophils play an important role in pathogen clearance, response to tissue injury, and in mediating the inflammatory response (1Kruger P. Saffarzadeh M. Weber A.N. Rieber N. Radsak M. von Bernuth H. Benarafa C. Roos D. Skokowa J. Hartl D.

Dysregulation of granulopoiesis can cause neutropenia, myeloid leukemia, or neutrophil function disorders (2Borregaard N.

Thus, understanding how neutrophils differentiate into functional mature cells might facilitate the development of new therapeutic strategies for the treatment of neutrophil-related disorders. The function of mature neutrophils requires the development of characteristic neutrophil granules along with stored enzymes. These neutrophil-specific elements are formed at different stages during neutrophil maturation. Mammalian neutrophils contain four types of granules: azurophil granules, specific granules, gelatinase granules, and secretory granules. Each subtype of granule contains highly specific storage proteins that carry out different immune functions (8Pham C.T. Neutrophil serine proteases: Specific regulators of inflammation.Nat. Rev. Immunol. 2006; 6: 541-550Crossref PubMed Scopus (685) Google Scholar). Neutrophil granule subtypes are released in order to lyse and eradicate microbes when neutrophils are activated during infections (2Borregaard N. Neutrophils, from marrow to microbes.Immunity. 2010; 33: 657-670Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (839) Google Scholar). Digestive enzymes are key components in neutrophil granules. For example, lysozyme C (Lyz), is a key bactericidal enzyme found in all types of neutrophil granules, and myeloperoxidase (Mpx) is an abundant peroxidase stored in neutrophil azurophilic granules (2Borregaard N. Neutrophils, from marrow to microbes.Immunity. 2010; 33: 657-670Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (839) Google Scholar). Sorting and packing neutrophil granule proteins by proteoglycans, such as serglycin (Srgn), are essential for neutrophil differentiation (9Niemann C.U. Cowland J.B. Klausen P. Askaa J. Calafat J. Borregaard N. Localization of serglycin in human neutrophil granulocytes and their precursors.J. Leukoc. Biol. 2004; 76: 406-415Crossref PubMed Scopus (39) Google Scholar, 10Niemann C.U. Abrink M.

Neutrophil elastase depends on serglycin proteoglycan for localization in granules.Blood. 2007; 109: 4478-4486Crossref PubMed Scopus (77) Google Scholar). Neutrophil maturation requires that these granule-related proteins are properly produced, yet the molecular basis controlling the process remains largely unknown. Several hematopoietic-specific transcription factors are reported to control neutrophil granule-related protein expression. RUNX1 has been described as a pivotal transcription factor during definitive hematopoiesis (11Ezoe S. Matsumura I. Satoh Y. Tanaka H. Kanakura Y. Cell cycle regulation in hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells.Cell Cycle. 2004; 3: 314-318Crossref PubMed Google Scholar, 12Okuda T. Deursen J.V. Hiebert S.W. Grosveld G. Downing R J.

Ferreira C. Influence of nutrient-derived metabolites on lymphocyte immunity.Nat. Med. 2015; 21: 709-718Crossref PubMed Scopus (41) Google Scholar). In neutrophil development, Runx1 is reported to promote granulocytic over monocytic lineage fate choice in zebrafish (14Jin H. Li L. Xu J. Zhen F. Zhu L. Liu P.P. Zhang M. Zhang W. Wen Z. Runx1 regulates embryonic myeloid fate choice in zebrafish through a negative feedback loop inhibiting Pu.1 expression.Blood. 2012; 119: 5239-5249Crossref PubMed Scopus (61) Google Scholar). Yet, the function of RUNX1 in neutrophil differentiation and maturation is still debatable. It has been reported that RUNX1 could regulate Mpx and Elane transcription in myeloid cell lines (15Nuchprayoon I. Meyers S. Scott L.M. Suzow J. Hiebert S. Friedman A.D. PEBP2/CBF, the murine homolog of the human myeloid AML1 and PEBP2 beta/CBF beta proto-oncoproteins, regulates the murine myeloperoxidase and neutrophil elastase genes in immature myeloid cells.Mol.

Rep. 2018; 8: 11902Crossref PubMed Scopus (6) Google Scholar). Similarly, recent mouse data demonstrated that RUNX1-haploinsufficient hematopoietic progenitors impaired in vitro differentiation in neutrophils by repressing Cebpe expression (18Ng K.P. Hu Z. Ebrahem Q. Negrotto S. Lausen J. Saunthararajah Y. Runx1 deficiency permits granulocyte lineage commitment but impairs subsequent maturation.Oncogenesis. 2013; 2: e78Crossref PubMed Scopus (14) Google Scholar). However, another study found that conditional ablation of the Runx1 gene in adult mice paradoxically expands myeloid pools to an extent without incurring any discernible differentiation blockage (19Growney J.D. Shigematsu H. Li Z. Lee B.H. Adelsperger J. Rowan R. Curley D.P. Kutok J.L. Akashi K. Williams I.R. Speck N.A. Gilliland D.G. Loss of Runx1 perturbs adult hematopoiesis and is associated with a myeloproliferative phenotype.Blood. 2005; 106: 494-504Crossref PubMed Scopus (347) Google Scholar). Therefore, whether RUNX1 plays roles in granulocyte differentiation and maturation in vivo is still unclear, especially in early developmental stages. We previously showed that lyz is a direct target of c-Myb in regulating neutrophil maturation (20Jin H. Huang Z. Chi Y. Wu M. Zhou R. Zhao L. Xu J. Zhen F. Lan Y. Li L. Zhang W. Wen Z. Zhang Y. c-Myb acts in parallel and cooperatively with Cebp1 to regulate neutrophil maturation in zebrafish.Blood. 2016; 128: 415-426Crossref PubMed Scopus (15) Google Scholar). Interestingly, lyz is also a transcriptional target of Runx1 (21Kitaguchi T. Kawakami K. Kawahara A. Transcriptional regulation of a myeloid-lineage specific gene lysozyme C during zebrafish myelopoiesis.Mech. Dev. 2009; 126: 314-323Crossref PubMed Scopus (34) Google Scholar); however, whether RUNX1 participates in neutrophil differentiation and maturation lacks sufficient in vivo evidence. Furthermore, whether the neutrophil maturation process is achieved by the orchestration of these two transcription factors requires genetic verification. Here, we used two hematopoietic-defective zebrafish mutants, runx1w84x (22Jin H. Sood R. Xu J. Zhen F. English M.A. Liu P.P. Wen Z. Definitive hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells manifest distinct differentiation output in the zebrafish VDA and PBI.Development. 2009; 136: 647-654Crossref PubMed Scopus (70) Google Scholar) and c-mybhkz3 (23Zhang Y.

Wen Z. cMyb regulates hematopoietic stem/progenitor cell mobilization during zebrafish hematopoiesis.Blood. 2011; 118: 4093-4101Crossref PubMed Scopus (55) Google Scholar) to determine the role of Runx1 during neutrophil maturation. These mutants were used to elucidate the genetic interaction of the two transcription factors through genetic epistasis and biochemical analysis. It was found that Runx1 cooperates with c-Myb to control neutrophil maturation in zebrafish embryonic myelopoiesis.
