Technology, Cambridge, MA.
Shp-1 and Shp-2 are cytoplasmic phosphotyrosine
phosphatases with similar structures. Mice deficient in Shp-2 die at
midgestation with defects in mesodermal patterning, and a hypomorphic
mutation at the Shp-1 locus results in the moth-eaten
viable (mev) phenotype. Previously, a critical role of
Shp-2 in mediating erythroid/myeloid cell development was demonstrated.
By using the RAG-2-deficient blastocyst complementation, the role of
Shp-2 in lymphopoiesis has been determined. Chimeric mice generated by
injecting Shp-2 Shp-1 and Shp-2 compose a small subfamily of
protein tyrosine phosphatases that are distinguished by possession of
Src-homology 2 domains.1-3 Shp-2 is a widely expressed
enzyme in contrast to Shp-1, which is predominantly expressed in
hematopoietic and lymphoid cells. Thus, these 2 phosphatases coexist in
blood cell lineages. In the past few years, experimental results from a
number of laboratories have indicated critical roles of Shp-1 and Shp-2 in the modulation of signaling events in various types of blood cells,
in a positive or a negative fashion.2,4,5 However, several
important issues remain to be addressed.
First, although Shp-2 was shown to be required for erythroid/myeloid
cell differentiation, it is unclear whether Shp-2 plays a critical role
in lymphocyte development. In previous experiments, we created a
targeted mutant Shp-2 allele by deleting exon 3, which results in
embryonic lethality at midgestation in homozygotes.6 In
vitro hematopoietic differentiation assay of Shp-2 Second, moth-eaten (me) and moth-eaten viable (meV) mice
that contain spontaneous mutations in the Shp-1
gene9,10 are characterized by immunodeficiency,
autoimmunity, and augmented production and tissue infiltration of
granulocytes, macrophages, and lymphocytes as well as excessive
erythropoiesis.4,11 Thus, Shp-1 is primarily a negative
effector in hematopoietic cell development and function, as compared
with Shp-2, which has been implicated as both a negative and positive
regulator in lymphocyte signaling.4,12,13 Because Shp-1
and Shp-2 are coexpressed in hematopoeitic cells, it is unclear whether
they interact or even have antagonistic effects in hematopoiesis.
This study was initiated with the goal of addressing these 2 questions.
First, we examined the specific requirement of Shp-2 for lymphocyte
development using the Rag-2-deficient blastocyst complementation.
Second, we investigated the functional interaction of Shp-1 and Shp-2
using a genetic approach by generating double-mutant embryos and
analyzing the effect of the double Shp-1/Shp-2 mutations on
hematopoiesis. Our findings suggest that Shp-2 is required for
lymphopoiesis and that Shp-1 and Shp-2 have antagonistic effect in hematopoiesis.
Generation of
Shp-2 Flow cytometry analysis
Generation of Shp-2, Shp-1 double-mutant mice Heterozygous meV mice (C57BL/6J-Hcphme-v/+) were purchased from the Jackson Laboratory (Bar Harbor, ME). These mice were crossed with Shp-2+/ mice, and double-heterozygous
(mev/+:Shp-2+/ ) mutant mice were
identified from the F1 offspring by PCR detection of wild-type and
mutant alleles of Shp-2 and Shp-1 in tail DNA as
described.8,16 Double- homozygous
(mev/mev:Shp-2 / ) and
single-homozygous (mev/mev or
Shp-2 / ) embryos were generated by intercrossing
mev/+:Shp-2+/ mutant mice.
Hematopoietic progenitor assay Embryos at days 9.0 to 9.5 from the intercrosses between mev/+: Shp-2+/ mice were dissected. Yolk sacs
were carefully separated from the embryos in -minimal essential
medium ( -MEM) supplemented with 15% fetal calf serum and
dissociated to single-cell suspension by passing through a 22-gauge
needle as described previously.8 Yolk sac cells were
plated into a colony-forming unit (CFU)-assay system, which contains
-MEM, 30% fetal calf serum, 5% pokeweed mitogen-stimulated mouse
spleen cell-conditioned medium, erythropoietin (2 U/mL EPO; Amgen,
Thousand Oaks, CA), murine stem cell factor (50 ng/mL; Immunex,
Seattle, WA), glutamine (10 4 M), -mercaptoethanol
(3.3 × 10 5 M), hemin (100 µm; Eastman Kodak,
Rochester, NY), and 0.9% methylcellulose. CFU-assay cultures were
incubated at 37°C in a 5% CO2 moisture-saturated incubator. After 6 to 7 days, colonies from erythroid burst-forming unit (BFU-E), granulocyte-macrophage (CFU-GM), and multipotential (CFU-granulocyte, erythroid, macrophage, megakaryocyte, or CFU-GEMM) progenitors were s cored.8,17
Block of T- and B-lymphocyte development by the Shp-2 mutation Our previous work showed that Shp-2 is required for erythroid and myeloid cell differentiation.7,8 To determine the role of Shp-2 in lymphocyte development, we employed the Rag-2-deficient blastocyst complementation assay.14,18 Shp-2+/ or Shp-2 / ES cells were injected
into Rag-2 / blastocysts to generate chimeric animals.
Because Rag-2 / mice do not produce any T and B
lymphocytes because of the inability to initiate V(D)J recombination,
any mature T and B lymphocytes detected in the chimeras must be derived
from injected ES cells.
Splenocytes and thymocytes from RAG
To determine the stage of lymphocyte development that was blocked by
the Shp-2 mutation, ES cell-derived precursor T cells in the thymus
and precursor B cells in the bone marrow were assayed by staining for
Thy-1 plus Ly-9.1 or B220 plus Ly-9.1, respectively. Ly-9.1 staining
was able to distinguish the ES and blastocyst-derived precursor
lymphocytes because the R1 ES cell line used for Shp-2 targeting was
derived from 129/sv strain of mouse and therefore was
Ly-9.1+, whereas blastocyst-derived cells were
Ly-9.1
The failure to detect the ES cell-derived lymphocytes in
Shp-2
Shp-1 mutation partially rescues the hematopoietic defects caused by Shp-2 mutation The results described above, together with our previous observations that the Shp-2 mutation suppressed erythroid/myeloid cell differentiation, suggest an important role of Shp-2 in the development of all blood cell lineages. To determine if there is any functional interaction between Shp-1 and Shp-2 in hematopoiesis, we generated double-mutant animals by crossing Shp-2+/ mice with
meV/+ mice. Double-mutant mice
(Shp-2 / :meV/meV) also died at
midgestation with a phenotype similar to Shp-2 /
embryos, having multiple defects in the mesodermal induction and body
organization, particularly the posterior truncation, as described
previously.6 Hematopoietic activity was assessed by
detecting stem/progenitor cells from the yolk sacs using the CFU assay.
As shown in Figure 4, hematopoietic cell
development was dramatically suppressed in Shp-2 / yolk
sacs, consistent with the previous result.8 Interestingly, an additional homozygous mutation at the Shp-1 locus
partially complemented the hematopoietic defect caused by the Shp-2
mutation. Higher numbers of erythroid lineage (BFU-E) and mixed
erythroid-myeloid lineage (CFU-GEMM) progenitors were detected in the
double-mutant yolk sacs than in Shp-2 / littermates.
This result suggests an antagonistic effect between Shp-1 and Shp-2 in
the development of blood cells, the cell type in which both are
normally expressed.
As a widely expressed enzyme, the involvement of Shp-2 in cytoplasmic signaling has been demonstrated in a variety of cell types. Shp-2 phosphatase has been implicated as a negative or a positive regulator in different signaling pathways.2 Introduction of a targeted mutation at a tyrosine phosphorylation site (Y759F) in gp130, a coreceptor for interleukin-6 family cytokines, resulted in splenomegaly, lymphadenopathy, and an enhanced acute phase reaction in mutant mice.20 Because Shp-2 binds to phosphorylated Y759, it was reasonable to speculate that Shp-2 acts to negatively regulate the development of T, B, and myeloid cells. However, a more recent report indicates that this tyrosine residue at gp130 is also a docking site for suppressor of cytokine signaling-3 (SOCS-3) and, therefore, the negative regulatory roles previously attritbuted to Shp-2 might be mediated, at least in part, by SOCS-3.21 Using the Rag-2-deficient blastocyst complementation, we have now
clearly demonstrated a requirement of Shp-2 for lymphopoiesis in a
cell-autonomous manner. Differentiation of lymphoid cell lineages in
Shp-2 Whether Shp-1 and Shp-2 have functional interactions was not clear, although their physiologic roles are at least not completely redundant, because the defective phenotype caused by the Shp-1 mutation was not complemented by the normal expression of Shp-2 in moth-eaten mice.1 Notably, one recent study identified an activity shared by Shp-1 and Shp-2 in mediating the inhibitory signal relay from paired Ig-like receptor B (PIR-B) in B lymphocytes.22 In contrast, we present evidence here that Shp-1 and Shp-2 have antagonistic effects in mediating embryonic hematopoiesis. The defective yolk sac hematopoiesis caused by the Shp-2 mutation was partially rescued by an additional Shp-1 mutation. This finding will help to elucidate the cytoplasmic signaling events mediated by Shp-1 and Shp-2 in hematopoiesis and possibly leukemogenesis.
