    Abstract Haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is widely used in regenerative medicine. HSCT can be used not only to treat certain types of blood cancer and immune disorders but also to induce immune tolerance in organ transplantation. However, the inadequacy of HSCs available for transplantation is still a major hurdle for clinical applications. Here, we established a novel inducible haematopoietic cell-depleting mouse model and tested the feasibility of using chimeric complementation to regenerate HSCs and their progeny cells. Large populations of syngeneic and major histocompatibility-mismatched haematopoietic cells were successfully regenerated by this model. The stable allogeneic chimeric mice maintained a substantial population of donor HSCs and Tregs, which indicated that the donor allogeneic HSCs successfully repopulated the recipient blood system, and the regenerated donor Tregs played essential roles in establishing immune tolerance in the allogeneic recipients. In addition, rat blood cells were detected in this model after xenotransplantation of rat whole bone marrow (BM) or Lin

    Abstract Autophagy, the intracellular degradation and dynamic recycling system, plays critical roles in pluripotent and differentiated cells. It protects the homeostasis of the intracellular environment and maintains the functions of cells by degrading and recycling cytoplasmic components. Autophagy is associated with the entire life cycle of the body, from the totipotent fertilized egg to the terminally differentiated cell. However, autophagy also plays distinct roles in these different life stages and in specific cell types. Here, we summarize the functions of autophagy in normal stem cells and in specialized cells.

    Abstract Pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) can immortally self-renew in culture with a high proliferation rate, and they possess unique metabolic characteristics that facilitate pluripotency regulation. Here, we review recent progress in understanding the mechanisms that link cellular metabolism and homeostasis to pluripotency regulation, with particular emphasis on pathways involving amino acid metabolism, lipid metabolism, the ubiquitin-proteasome system and autophagy. Metabolism of amino acids and lipids is tightly coupled to epigenetic modification, organelle remodeling and cell signaling pathways for pluripotency regulation. PSCs harness enhanced proteasome and autophagy activity to meet the material and energy requirements for cellular homeostasis. These regulatory events reflect a fine balance between the intrinsic cellular requirements and the extrinsic environment. A more complete understanding of this balance will pave new ways to manipulate PSC fate.

    Abstract Autophagy is primarily an efficient intracellular catabolic pathway used for degradation of abnormal cellular protein aggregates and damaged organelles. Although autophagy was initially proposed to be a cellular stress responder, increasing evidence suggests that it carries out normal physiological roles in multiple biological processes. To date, autophagy has been identified in most organs and at many different developmental stages, indicating that it is not only essential for cellular homeostasis and renovation, but is also important for organ development. Herein, we summarize our current understanding of the functions of autophagy (which here refers to macroautophagy) in the mammalian life cycle.

    Abstract Zoonotic viruses circulate in the natural reservoir and sporadically spill over into human populations, resulting in endemics or pandemics. We previously found that the Chaoyang virus (CYV), an insect-specific flavivirus (ISF), is replication-defective in vertebrate cells. Here, we develope a proof-of-concept mosquito-delivered vaccine to control the Zika virus (ZIKV) within inaccessible wildlife hosts using CYV as the vector. The vaccine is constructed by replacing the pre-membrane and envelope (prME) proteins of CYV with those of ZIKV, assigned as CYV-ZIKV. CYV-ZIKV replicates efficiently in Aedes mosquitoes and disseminates to the saliva, with no venereal or transovarial transmission observed. To reduce the risk of CYV-ZIKV leaking into the environment, mosquitoes are X-ray irradiated to ensure 100% infertility, which does not affect the titer of CYV-ZIKV in the saliva. Immunization of mice via CYV-ZIKV-carrying mosquito bites elicites robust and persistent ZIKV-specific immune responses and confers complete protection against ZIKV challenge. Correspondingly, the immunized mice could no longer transmit the challenged ZIKV to naïve mosquitoes. Therefore, immunization with an ISF-vectored vaccine via mosquito bites is feasible to induce herd immunity in wildlife hosts of ZIKV. Our study provides a future avenue for developing a mosquito-delivered vaccine to eliminate zoonotic viruses in the sylvatic cycle.

    Abstract Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) have a significantly lower mutation load compared to somatic cells, but the mechanisms that guard genomic integrity in ESCs remain largely unknown. Here we show that BNIP3-dependent mitophagy protects genomic integrity in mouse ESCs. Deletion of Bnip3 increases cellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and decreases ATP generation.

    Abstract Embryonic stem cells (ESCs), which are characterized by the capacity for self-renewal and pluripotency, hold great promise for regenerative medicine. Increasing evidence points to the essential role of mitophagy in pluripotency regulation. Our recent work showed that PINK1/OPTN take part in guarding ESC mitochondrial homeostasis and pluripotency. Evaluating mitophagy in ESCs is important for exploring the relationships between mitochondrial homeostasis and pluripotency. ESCs are smaller in size than adult somatic cells and the mitophagosomes in ESCs are difficult to observe. Many methods have been employed-for example, detecting colocalization of LC3-II and mitochondria-to evaluate mitophagy in ESCs. However, it is important to define an objective way to detect mitophagy in ESCs. Here, we evaluated two commonly used fluorescence-based imaging methods to detect mitophagy in ESCs. By using autophagy- or mitophagy-defective ESC lines, we showed that the mito-Keima (mt-Keima) system is a suitable and effective way for detecting and quantifying mitophagy in ESCs. Our study provides evidence that mt-Keima is an effective tool to study mitophagy function in ESCs.

    Abstract Tissue-resident Natural Killer (trNK) cells are crucial components of local immunity that activate rapidly upon infection. However, under steady state conditions, their responses are tightly controlled to prevent unwanted tissue damage. The mechanisms governing their differentiation and activation are not fully understood. Here, we characterise uterine trNK cells longitudinally during pregnancy by single cell RNA sequencing and find that the combined expression pattern of 4-1BB and CD55 defines their three distinct stages of differentiation in mice. Mechanistically, an IL-21R-STAT3 axis is essential for initiating the trNK cell differentiation. The fully differentiated trNK cells demonstrate enhanced functionality, which is necessary for remodelling spiral arteries in the decidua. We identify an apoptotic program that is specific to the terminal differentiation stage, which may preclude tissue damage by these highly activated trNK cells. In summary, uterine trNK cells become intensely active and effective during pregnancy, but tightly controlled via a differentiation program that also limits potential harm, suggesting an intricate mechanism for harnessing trNK cells in maintaining pregnancy.

    Abstract Immune rejection has long hindered allogeneic cell transplantation therapy. Current genetic modification approaches, including direct targeting of major histocompatibility complex or constitutive expression of immune inhibitory molecules, exhibit drawbacks such as severe adverse effects or elevated tumorigenesis risks. To overcome these limitations, we introduce an innovative approach to induce cell-type-specific immune tolerance in differentiated cells. By engineering human embryonic stem cells, we ensure the exclusive production of the immune inhibitory molecules PD-L1/CTLA4Ig in differentiated cells. Using this strategy, we generated hepatocyte-like cells expressing PD-L1 and CTLA4Ig, which effectively induced local immunotolerance. This approach was evaluated in a humanized mouse model that mimics the human immune system dynamics. We thus demonstrate a robust and selective induction of immunotolerance specific to hepatocytes, improving graft survival without observed tumorigenesis. This precise immune tolerance strategy holds great promise for advancing the development of stem cell-based therapeutics in regenerative medicine.
