What is the role of trisomy 21 and how does it perturb fetal
haematopoiesis in Down syndrome?
Role of trisomy 21 in fetal haematopoiesis
Aim 1:
Characterise 2nd trimester normal and T21 human fetal
liver (FL) haematopoiesis
Aim 2:
Study in vitro behaviour of normal and T21 FL HSC and
progenitors.
Aim 3:
Define gene expression signature of normal vs T21 FL
HSC and progenitors

Increased clonogenicity of progenitors in DS FL
In vitro clonogenic assays showed significantly increased clonogenicity of
T21 HSC,CMP and MEP compared to normal FL

Summary: defining normal FL haematopoiesis
1. Demonstrated HSC, MPP and LMPP for the first time in
human FL
2. Demonstrated lymphoid progenitors and mature B cells in
human FL for the first time (including novel
CD34+CD19+CD10- progenitor which may be key to
understanding pathogenesis of childhood ALL) and showed
that mature B cells can be generated in vitro
3. Comprehensive gene expression analysis of normal FL
HSC and progenitors.

Chr 21 gene expression in DS FL HSC/ progenitors
Future research directions
1. Xenograft data for HSC compartment (may need better
mouse model than NSG for mega-erythroid
•
engraftment)
2. Explore significance of microenvironment in more
detail (FL vs FBM)
3. Lymphoid defect:
-RAG1 (overexpression: ? B lymphoid block/ DNA
damage)
-functional studies with mature B cells
-Fetal BM lymphoid development in more detail
4. Explore cytokine receptor pathways such as IGF1R and
IGF2R
