NFIX is a positive regulator of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell (HSPC) transplantation. The absence of NFIX leads to loss of HSPCs and accumulation of specific cell types. NFIX collaborates with PU.1 at super-enhancers to regulate genes involved in cellular respiration and hematopoietic differentiation. NFIX deficiency negatively affects PU.1 binding at certain genomic loci.
The transcription factor (TF) nuclear factor I-X (NFIX) is a positive regulator of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell (HSPC) transplantation. Nfix-deficient HSPCs exhibit a severe loss of repopulating activity, increased apoptosis, and a loss of colony-forming potential. However, the underlying mechanism remains elusive. Here, we performed cellular indexing of transcriptomes and epitopes by high-throughput sequencing (CITE-seq) on Nfix-deficient HSPCs and observed a loss of long-term hematopoietic stem cells and an accumulation of megakaryocyte and myelo-erythroid progenitors. The genome-wide binding profile of NFIX in primitive murine hematopoietic cells revealed its colocalization with other hematopoietic TFs, such as PU.1. We confirmed the physical interaction between NFIX and PU.1 and demonstrated that the 2 TFs co-occupy super-enhancers and regulate genes implicated in cellular respiration and hematopoietic differentiation. In addition, we provide evidence suggesting that the absence of NFIX negatively affects PU.1 binding at some genomic loci. Our data support a model in which NFIX collaborates with PU.1 at super-enhancers to promote the differentiation and homeostatic balance of hematopoietic progenitors.
