Abstract
Hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) heterogeneity and hierarchy are a current topic of interest, having major implications for clinical HSC transplantation and basic research on human HSCs. It was long believed that the most primitive HSCs in mammals, including mice and humans, were CD34 antigen positive (CD34+). However, 2 decades ago, it was reported that murine long-term multilineage reconstituting HSCs were lineage marker negative (Lin-, i.e., c-kit+Sca-1+CD34low/-), known as CD34low/- KSL cells. In contrast, human CD34- HSCs, a counterpart of murine CD34low/- KSL cells, were hard to identify for a long time mainly because of their rarity. We previously identified very primitive human cord blood (CB)-derived CD34- severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID)-repopulating cells (SRCs) using the intra-bone marrow injection method and proposed the new concept that CD34- SRCs (HSCs) reside at the apex of the human HSC hierarchy. Through a series of studies, we identified two positive/enrichment markers: CD133 and GPI-80. The combination of these two markers enabled the development of an ultrahigh-resolution purification method for CD34- as well as CD34+ HSCs and the successful purification of both HSCs at the single-cell level. Cell population purity is a crucial prerequisite for reliable biological and molecular analyses. Clonal analyses of highly purified human CD34- HSCs have revealed their potent megakaryocyte/erythrocyte differentiation potential. Based on these observations, we propose a revised road map for the commitment of human CB-derived CD34- HSCs. This review updates the current understanding of the stem cell nature of human CB-derived primitive CD34- as well as CD34+ HSCs.

Abstract
Hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) isolated from bone marrow have been successfully employed for 50 years in hematological transplantations. Currently, these cells are more frequently isolated from mobilized peripheral blood or umbilical cord blood. In this chapter, we overview several topics related to these cells including their phenotype, methods for isolation, and in vitro and in vivo assays to evaluate their proliferative potential. The successful clinical application of HSPCs is widely understood to have helped establish the rationale for the development of stem cell therapies and regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Umbilical cord blood transplantation (UCBT) is often associated with delayed neutrophil and platelet recovery. Engraftment failure is another major obstacle. Several factors influence these serious complications, including the numbers of total nucleated cells (TNCs) and CD34+ cells which have been used as reliable factors for selecting UCB units for transplantation. However, whether both factors are reliable indices of the hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) activity of UCB units remains unknown. To evaluate the quality of UCB units, we quantified the actual number of transplantable CD34+CD133+ HSCs (tHSCs) residing in UCB units. The number of tHSCs was not correlated with the numbers of TNCs or CD34+ cells. These results strongly suggest that neither factor reflects the numbers of tHSCs residing in UCB units. To validate the significance of the number of tHSCs, further analysis is required to determine whether the number of tHSCs residing in UCB units is useful as a new indicator for the quality assessment of UCB units.

Abstract
We previously identified CD34-negative (CD34-) severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID)-repopulating cells as primitive hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) in human cord blood. In this study, we develop a prospective ultra-high-resolution purification method by applying two positive markers, CD133 and GPI-80. Using this method, we succeed in purifying single long-term repopulating CD34- HSCs with self-renewing capability residing at the apex of the human HSC hierarchy from cord blood, as evidenced by a single-cell-initiated serial transplantation analysis. The gene expression profiles of individual CD34+ and CD34- HSCs and a global gene expression analysis demonstrate the unique molecular signature of CD34- HSCs. We find that the purified CD34- HSCs show a potent megakaryocyte/erythrocyte differentiation potential in vitro and in vivo. Megakaryocyte/erythrocyte progenitors may thus be generated directly via a bypass route from the CD34- HSCs. Based on these data, we propose a revised road map for the commitment of human CD34- HSCs in cord blood.

Abstract
In the murine hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) compartment, thrombopoietin (THPO)/MPL (THPO receptor) signaling plays an important role in the maintenance of adult quiescent HSCs. However, the role of THPO/MPL signaling in the human primitive HSC compartment has not yet been elucidated. We have identified very primitive human cord blood (CB)-derived CD34- severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID)-repopulating cells (SRCs) using the intra-bone marrow injection method. In this study, we investigated the roles of the MPL expression in the human primitive HSC compartment. The SRC activities of the highly purified CB-derived 18Lin-CD34+/-MPL+/- cells were analyzed using NOG mice. In the primary recipient mice, nearly all mice that received CD34+/-MPL+/- cells were repopulated with human CD45+ cells. Nearly all of these mice that received CD34+MPL+/- and CD34-MPL- cells showed a secondary repopulation. Interestingly, the secondary recipient mice that received CD34+/-MPL- cells showed a distinct tertiary repopulation. These results clearly indicate that the CD34+/- SRCs not expressing MPL sustain a long-term (LT) (>1 year) human cell repopulation in NOG mice. Moreover, CD34- SRCs generate CD34+CD38-CD90+ SRCs in vitro and in vivo. These findings provide a new concept that CD34-MPL- SRCs reside at the apex of the human HSC hierarchy.

Abstract
Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are maintained in a specialized bone marrow (BM) niche, which consists of osteoblasts, endothelial cells, and a variety of mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs). However, precisely what types of MSCs support human HSCs in the BM remain to be elucidated because of their heterogeneity. In this study, we succeeded in prospectively isolating/establishing three types of MSCs from human BM-derived lineage- and CD45-negative cells, according to their cell surface expression of CD271 and stage-specific embryonic antigen (SSEA)-4. Among them, the MSCs established from the Lineage(-) CD45(-) CD271(+) SSEA-4(+) fraction (DP MSC) could differentiate into osteoblasts and chondrocytes, but they lacked adipogenic differentiation potential. The DP MSCs expressed significantly higher levels of well-characterized HSC-supportive genes, including IGF-2, Wnt3a, Jagged1, TGFβ3, nestin, CXCL12, and Foxc1, compared with other MSCs. Interestingly, these osteo-chondrogenic DP MSCs possessed the ability to support cord blood-derived primitive human CD34-negative severe combined immunodeficiency-repopulating cells. The HSC-supportive actions of DP MSCs were partially carried out by soluble factors, including IGF-2, Wnt3a, and Jagged1. Moreover, contact between DP MSCs and CD34-positive (CD34(+) ) as well as CD34-negative (CD34(-) ) HSCs was important for the support/maintenance of the CD34(+/-) HSCs in vitro. These data suggest that DP MSCs might play an important role in the maintenance of human primitive HSCs in the BM niche. Therefore, the establishment of DP MSCs provides a new tool for the elucidation of the human HSC/niche interaction in vitro as well as in vivo.

Abstract
Maintenance of haematopoietic stem cells and differentiation of committed progenitors occurs in highly specialized niches. The interactions of haematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) with cells, growth factors and extracellular matrix (ECM) components of the bone marrow (BM) microenvironment control homeostasis of HSPCs. We only start to understand the complexity of the haematopoietic niche(s) that comprises endosteal, arterial, sinusoidal, mesenchymal and neuronal components. These distinct niches produce a broad range of soluble factors and adhesion molecules that modulate HSPC fate during normal hematopoiesis and BM regeneration. Adhesive interactions between HSPCs and the microenvironment will influence their localization and differentiation potential. In this review we highlight the current understanding of the functional role of ECM- and adhesion (regulating) molecules in the haematopoietic niche during homeostatic and regenerative hematopoiesis. This knowledge may lead to the improvement of current cellular therapies and more efficient development of future cellular products.

Abstract
It is well documented that specialized mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) constitute the hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) niche in the bone marrow (BM), and these MSCs support/maintain the HSCs in an undifferentiated state. A number of studies have demonstrated that BM-derived MSCs (BM-MSCs) can support HSCs in vitro. However, it remains unclear whether nonhematopoietic tissue-derived MSC-like cells, such as dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs), have the ability to support HSCs. In this study, we prospectively isolated DPSCs from mouse mandibular incisors by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) using BM-MSC markers, such as PDGFRα and Sca-1. The PDGFRα and Sca-1 double-positive DPSCs and BM-MSCs showed similar morphologies and expression patterns of MSC markers. The ability of the DPSCs to support hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) was then analyzed by an in vitro coculture system. Moreover, their HSC-supporting activity was evaluated by in vivo xenotransplantation assays using NOD/Shi-scid/IL-2Rγcnull (NOG) mice. Interestingly, the DPSCs supported human cord blood (CB)-derived CD34-positive (CD34+), as well as CD34-negative (CD34–), HSCs. The supporting activities of DPSCs for human CB-derived CD34+ and CD34– HSCs were comparable to those of BM-MSCs. The results of the present study demonstrated, for the first time, that prospectively isolated murine PDGFRα and Sca-1 double-positive DPSCs could support primitive human CD34+ and CD34– HSCs in vitro.

Abstract
The identification of human CD34-negative (CD34(-)) hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) provides a new concept for the hierarchy in the human HSC compartment. Previous studies demonstrated that CD34(-) severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID)-repopulating cells (SRCs) are a distinct class of primitive HSCs in comparison to the well-characterized CD34(+)CD38(-) SRCs. However, the purification level of rare CD34(-) SRCs in 18 lineage marker-negative (Lin(-)) CD34(-) cells (1/1000) is still very low compared with that of CD34(+)CD38(-) SRCs (1/40). As in the mouse, it will be necessary to identify useful positive markers for a high degree of purification of rare human CD34(-) SRCs. Using 18Lin(-)CD34(-) cells, we analyzed the expression of candidate positive markers by flow cytometric analysis. We finally identified CD133 as a reliable positive marker of human CB-derived CD34(-) SRCs and succeeded in highly purifying primitive human CD34(-) HSCs. The limiting dilution analysis demonstrated that the incidence of CD34(-) SRCs in 18Lin(-)CD34(-)CD133(+) cells was 1/142, which is the highest level of purification of these unique CD34(-) HSCs to date. Furthermore, CD133 expression clearly segregated the SRC activities of 18Lin(-)CD34(-) cells, as well as 18Lin(-)CD34(+) cells, in their positive fractions, indicating its functional significance as a common cell surface maker to isolate effectively both CD34(+) and CD34(-) SRCs.

Abstract
Lifelong hematopoiesis is sustained by a very small number of hematopoietic stem cells capable of self-renewal and differentiation into multiple hematopoietic lineages. The sialomucin CD34 has been, and is currently, used for the identification and purification of primitive hematopoietic progenitors. Depending on the source of stem cells, CD34 may not be expressed on all progenitor cells. An alternative stem cell marker is prominin-1 (CD133), which is expressed on a subpopulation of CD34(+) cells as well as on CD34(-) progenitor cells derived from various sources including fetal liver and bone marrow, adult bone marrow, cord blood, and mobilized peripheral blood. CD133(+) stem cells can reconstitute myelo- and lymphopoiesis of lethally irradiated mice, and the characterization of the CD133 expression on stem cells provides some insights into the biology of the hierarchy and functional organization of human hematopoiesis. The availability of methods for clinical large-scale isolation of CD133(+) cells facilitates their use in autologous and allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and possibly in other fields of regenerative medicine.

Abstract
HIV-1 causes AIDS, a syndrome that affects millions of people globally. Existing HAART is efficient in slowing down disease progression but cannot eradicate the virus. Furthermore the severity of the side effects and the emergence of drug-resistant mutants call for better therapy. Gene therapy serves as an attractive alternative as it reconstitutes the immune system with HIV-resistant cells and could thereby provide a potential cure. The feasibility of this approach was first demonstrated with the 'Berlin patient', who was functionally cured from HIV/AIDS with undetectable HIV-1 viral load after transplantation of bone marrow harboring a naturally occurring CCR5 mutation that blocks viral entry. Here, we give an overview of the current status of HIV gene therapy and remaining challenges and obstacles.

Abstract
A precise identification of adult human hemangioblast is still lacking. To identify circulating precursors having the developmental potential of the hemangioblast, we established a new ex vivo long-term culture model supporting the differentiation of both hematopoietic and endothelial cell lineages. We identified from peripheral blood a population lacking the expression of CD34, lineage markers, CD45 and CD133 (CD34⁻Lin⁻CD45⁻CD133⁻ cells), endowed with the ability to differentiate after a 6-week culture into both hematopoietic and endothelial lineages. The bilineage potential of CD34⁻Lin⁻CD45⁻CD133⁻ cells was determined at the single-cell level in vitro and was confirmed by transplantation into NOD/SCID mice. In vivo, CD34⁻Lin⁻CD45⁻CD133⁻ cells showed the ability to reconstitute hematopoietic tissue and to generate functional endothelial cells that contribute to new vessel formation during tumor angiogenesis. Molecular characterization of CD34⁻Lin⁻D45⁻CD133⁻ cells unveiled a stem cell profile compatible with both hematopoietic and endothelial potentials, characterized by the expression of c-Kit and CXCR4 as well as EphB4, EphB2, and ephrinB2. Further molecular and functional characterization of CD34⁻Lin⁻CD45⁻CD133⁻ cells will help dissect their physiologic role in blood and blood vessel maintenance and repair in adult life.

Abstract
OECs (outgrowth endothelial cells), also known as late-EPCs (late-endothelial progenitor cells), have a high proliferation potential in addition to in vitro tube formation capability. In ischaemic animal models, injected OECs were integrated into regenerating blood vessels and improved neovascularization. Previous reports have demonstrated the expression of CXCL8 to be up-regulated in ischaemic tissues. It has also been documented that CXCL8 stimulates the angiogenic activity of mature ECs (endothelial cells). Therefore, it has been suggested that CXCL8 plays an important role in neovascularization in ischaemic tissues. However, it is still uncertain whether CXCL8 also stimulates the angiogenic activity of OECs. This study evaluated the effects of CXCL8 on the angiogenic activity of OECs in vitro. OECs were isolated from human UCB (umbilical cord blood)-derived mononuclear cells. Phenotypes of the OECs were assessed by flow cytometry, immunostaining, and real-time RT (reverse transcription)-PCR. The effects of CXCL8 on OECs were investigated by transwell migration assay and capillary tube formation assay on Matrigel. The OEC clones isolated from UCB expressed OEC phenotypes. In addition, CXCL8 receptors (CXCR1 and CXCR2) were expressed on these OEC clones. CXCL8 significantly stimulated the transwell migration and capillary tube formation of OECs. Neutralizing antibody against CXCR2, but not CXCR1, abolished a transwell migration of OECs induced by CXCL8, suggesting the involvement of CXCL8/CXCR2 axis in transwell migration. These results demonstrate that CXCL8 stimulates the angiogenic activity of UCB-derived OECs in vitro.

Abstract
A population of CD133+lin−CD45− very small embryonic-like stem cells (VSELs) has been purified by multiparameter sorting from umbilical cord blood (UCB). In order to speed up isolation of these cells, we employed anti-CD133-conjugated paramagnetic beads followed by staining with Aldefluor to detect aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) activity; we subsequently sorted CD45−/GlyA−/CD133+/ALDHhigh and CD45−/GlyA−/CD133+/ALDHlow cells, which are enriched for VSELs, and CD45+/GlyA−/CD133+/ALDHhigh and CD45+/GlyA−/CD133+/ALDHlow cells, which are enriched for hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs). While freshly isolated CD45− VSELs did not grow hematopoietic colonies, the same cells, when activated/expanded over OP9 stromal support, acquired hematopoietic potential and grew colonies composed of CD45+ hematopoietic cells in methylcellulose cultures. We also observed that CD45−/GlyA−/CD133+/ALDHhigh VSELs grew colonies earlier than CD45−/GlyA−/CD133+/ALDHlow VSELs, which suggests that the latter cells need more time to acquire hematopoietic commitment. In support of this possibility, real-time PCR analysis confirmed that, while freshly isolated CD45−/GlyA−/CD133+/ALDHhigh VSELs express more hematopoietic transcripts (e.g., c-myb), CD45−/GlyA−/CD133+/ALDHlow VSELs exhibit higher levels of pluripotent stem cell markers (e.g., Oct-4). More importantly, hematopoietic cells derived from VSELs that were co-cultured over OP9 support were able to establish human lympho-hematopoietic chimerism in lethally irradiated NOD/SCID mice 4–6 weeks after transplantation. Overall, our data suggest that UCB-VSELs correspond to the most primitive population of HSPCs in UCB.

Abstract
Umbilical cord blood transplantation is becoming an acceptable alternative source of hematopoietic stem cells for patients with malignant diseases. Cord blood differs from bone marrow and peripheral blood progenitors in its immune tolerance and kinetics of engraftment. In this article, we will review the biology of cord blood stem cells and clinical studies of cord blood transplants in pediatric and adult populations. We will also discuss potential uses of cord blood stem cells in regenerative medicine and novel methods for ex vivo expansion of hematopoietic stem cells. As we learn more about cord blood transplants, there is the potential to overcome the limitations of cord blood transplants so that they can become more widely available.

Abstract
Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are a subpopulation of tumour cells that possess the stem cell properties of self-renewal and differentiation. Stem cells might be the target cells responsible for malignant transformation, and tumour formation may be a disorder of stem cell self-renewal pathway. Epigenetic alterations and mutations of genes involved in signal transmissions may promote the formation of CSCs. These cells have been identified in many solid tumours including breast, brain, lung, prostate, testis, ovary, colon, skin, liver, and also in acute myeloid leukaemia. The CSC theory clarifies not only the issue of tumour initiation, development, metastasis and relapse, but also the ineffectiveness of conventional cancer therapies. Treatments directed against the bulk of the cancer cells may produce striking responses but they are unlikely to result in long-term remissions if the rare CSCs are not targeted. In this review, we consider the properties of CSCs and possible strategies for controlling the viability and tumourigenecity of these cells, including therapeutic models for selective elimination of CSCs and induction of their proper differentiation.

Abstract
In vivo targeted gene delivery to hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) would mean a big step forward in the field of gene therapy. This would imply that the risk of cell differentiation and loss of homing/-engraftment is reduced, as there is no need for purification of the target cell. In vivo gene delivery also bypasses the issue that no precise markers that permit the isolation of a primitive hHSC exist up to now. Indeed, in vivo gene transfer could target all HSCs in their stem-cell niche, including those cells that are "missed" by the purification criteria. Moreover, for the majority of diseases, there is a requirement of a minimal number of gene-corrected cells to be reinfused to allow an efficient long-term engraftment. This requisite might become a limiting factor when treating children with inherited disorders, due to the low number of bone marrow (BM) CD34(+) HSCs that can actually be isolated. These problems could be overcome by using efficient in vivo HSC-specific lentiviral vectors (LVs). Additionally, vectors for in vivo HSC transduction must be specific for the target cell, to avoid vector spreading while enhancing transduction efficiency. Of importance, a major barrier in LV transduction of HSCs is that 75% of HSCs are residing in the G0 phase of the cell cycle and are not very permissive for classical VSV-G-LV transduction. Therefore, we engineered "early-activating-cytokine (SCF or/and TPO)" displaying LVs that allowed a slight and transient stimulation of hCD34(+) cells resulting in efficient lentiviral gene transfer while preserving the "stemness" of the targeted HSCs. The selective transduction of HSCs by these vectors was demonstrated by their capacity to promote selective transduction of CD34(+) cells in in vitro-derived, long-term culture-initiating cell colonies and long-term NOD/SCID repopulating cells. A second generation of these "early-acting-cytokine"-displaying lentiviral vectors has now been developed that is fit for targeted in vivo gene delivery to hCD34(+) cells. In the method presented here, we describe the in vivo gene delivery into hCD34(+) cells by intramarrow injection of these new vectors into humanized BALB/c Rag2( null )/IL2rgc ( null ) (BALB/c RAGA) mice.

Abstract
Efficient derivation and isolation of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) from human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC) populations remains a major goal in the field of developmental hematopoiesis. These enticing pluripotent stem cells (comprising both human embryonic stem cells and induced pluripotent stem cells) have been successfully used to generate a wide array of hematopoietic cells in vitro, from primitive hematoendothelial precursors to mature myeloid, erythroid, and lymphoid lineage cells. However, to date, PSC-derived cells have demonstrated only limited potential for long-term multilineage hematopoietic engraftment in vivo - the test by which putative HSCs are defined. Successful generation and characterization of HSCs from hPSCs not only requires an efficient in vitro differentiation system that provides insight into the developmental fate of hPSC-derived cells, but also necessitates an in vivo engraftment model that allows identification of specific mechanisms that hinder or promote hematopoietic engraftment. In this chapter, we will describe a method that utilizes firefly luciferase-expressing hPSCs and bioluminescent imaging to noninvasively track the survival, proliferation, and migration of transplanted hPSC-derived cells. Combined with lineage and functional analyses of engrafted cells, this system is a useful tool to gain insight into the in vivo potential of hematopoietic cells generated from hPSCs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We recently identified a population of small Sca-1(+)/Lin(-)/CD45(-) cells in adult murine bone marrow that express several epiblast/germ line and pluripotent stem cell markers (e.g., Oct-4 and SSEA-4) that we named "very small embryonic-like stem cells" (VSELs). In this report, we test the hypothesis that VSELs can differentiate along the hemato/lymphopoietic lineage. MATERIALS AND METHODS Purified from bone marrow, VSELs were primed/cocultured over OP9 stroma cell line and subsequently tested in vitro and in vivo assays for their hematopoietic potential. In parallel, cells derived from VSELs were evaluated for expression of hematopoietic genes and surface markers. RESULTS Although we observed that freshly isolated VSELs do not exhibit in vitro and in vivo hematopoietic potential, they may, after coculture over OP9 stromal cells, differentiate along the hematopoietic lineage in a similar way as embryonic stem cells or inducible pluripotent stem cells. "OP9-primed," VSEL-derived cells acquired expression of several hemato/lymphopoiesis-specific genes and markers, gave rise to hematopoietic colonies in vitro, and protected lethally irradiated mice in both primary and secondary transplant models on transplantation. We also observed that, compared to hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells, VSELs are highly resistant to total body irradiation. CONCLUSIONS Based on these observations, we postulate that VSELs are the most primitive murine bone marrow-residing population of stem cells that have the potential to become specified into the hematopoietic lineage and may share some of the characteristics of long-term repopulating HSCs.

Abstract
Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) provide an important resource for novel regenerative medicine therapies and have been used to derive diverse cell populations, including hematopoietic and endothelial cells. However, it remains a challenge to achieve significant engraftment of hESC-derived blood cells when transplanted into animal models. To better understand mechanisms that enhance or limit the in vivo developmental potential of hESC-derived cells, we utilized hESCs that express firefly luciferase (luc) to allow noninvasive, real-time bioluminescent imaging of hESC-derived CD34(+) cells transplanted into the liver of neonatal immunodeficient mice. Serial imaging demonstrated stable engraftment and expansion of the luc(+) hESC-derived cells in vivo over several months. While we found that these hESC-derived CD34(+) cells have bipotential ability to generate both hematopoietic and endothelial lineages in vitro, these studies demonstrate preferential differentiation into endothelial cells in vivo, with only low levels of hematopoietic cell engraftment. Therefore, these studies reveal key differences in the developmental potential of hESC-derived cells using in vitro and in vivo analyses. Although transplanted hESC-derived CD34(+) cells are well-suited for revascularization therapies, additional measures are needed to provide higher levels of long-term hematopoietic engraftment.

Abstract
The field of cord blood transplantation has come a long way since the first transplant more than 20 years ago. Advancements in the field will require continuing efforts to better understand hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell function and engraftment. Cautious optimism is inherent in the potential relevance and applicability of nonhematopoietic stem and progenitor cell types found in cord blood, and induced pluripotent stem cells generated from cord blood cells. Rigorous investigations and close interactions between scientific and clinical investigators are required to translate human in vitro and animal in vivo findings into clinical utility.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Transplantation of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) is usually accomplished through intravenous injection, a complex process that requires recognition of bone marrow vasculature and migration to a supportive microenvironment. Hence, some populations of HSCs, including cord blood (CB) Lin(-)CD34(-) stem cells, do not engraft well in bone marrow (BM) of nonobese diabetic/severe combined immunodeficient (NOD/SCID) mice. In this study, we examined the effect of human stromal interactions on the properties of CB Lin(-)CD34(-) cells. MATERIALS AND METHODS CD34 and CXCR4 expression on fresh CB Lin(-)CD34(-) cells and CB Lin(-)CD34(-) cells cocultured with human stromal cells were analyzed. Homing activity and engraftment of these cells were assessed using NOD/SCID mice. In an attempt to identify the stromal CXCR4-inducing factor, CB Lin(-)CD34(-) cells were cocultured with a noncontact culture system in the presence of several inhibitors. RESULT Coculture with human stromal cells induced expression of CD34 and CXCR4 on CB Lin(-)CD34(-) cells. CXCR4 expression on CB Lin(-)CD34(-) cells was induced even in the noncontact culture condition, suggesting that this CXCR4-inducing factor is soluble. Moreover, CXCR4 induction was inhibited by the soluble Wnt inhibitor DKK1. Furthermore, these cells acquired homing activity and engrafted in the BM of NOD/SCID mice after intravenous injection. CONCLUSION These findings may be useful for understanding the role of stromal cells in homing and engraftment of HSCs.
