Despite rapid advances in mapping genetic drivers and gene expression changes in hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), there is a relative paucity of studies at the protein level. Here, we perform a deep, multi-omic characterization (epigenome, transcriptome and proteome) of HSCs carrying a loss-of-function mutation in Tet2, a key driver of increased self-renewal in blood cancers. Using state-of-the-art, multiplexed, low-input mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics, we profile wildtype (WT) and TET2-deficient (Tet2-/-) HSCs and show that the proteome captures previously unrecognized molecular processes which define the pre-leukemic HSC molecular landscape. Specifically, we obtain more accurate stratification of WT and Tet2-/- HSCs than transcriptomic approaches and identify extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules as novel points of dysregulation upon TET2 loss. HSC expansion assays using ECM-functionalized hydrogels confirm a selective effect on the expansion of Tet2-mutant HSCs. Taken together, our study represents a comprehensive molecular characterization of Tet2-mutant HSCs and identifies a previously unanticipated role of ECM molecules in regulating self-renewal of disease-driving HSCs.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
