Neurobeachin regulates hematopoietic progenitor differentiation and survival by modulating Notch activity.

Abstract

Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) can generate all blood cells. This ability is exploited in HSC transplantation (HSCT) to treat hematologic disease. A clear understanding of the molecular mechanisms that regulate HSCT is necessary to continue improving transplant protocols. We identified the Beige and Chediak-Higashi domain-containing protein (BDCP), Neurobeachin (NBEA), as a putative regulator of HSCT. Here, we demonstrated that NBEA and related BDCPs, including LPS Responsive Beige-Like Anchor Protein (LRBA), Neurobeachin Like 1 (NBEAL1) and Lysosomal Trafficking Regulator (LYST), are required during HSCT to efficiently reconstitute the hematopoietic system of lethally irradiated mice. Nbea knockdown in mouse HSCs induced apoptosis and a differentiation block after transp
