Targeting JNK Pathway Expands Human Hematopoietic Stem Cells


ABSTRACT: The limited number of human hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) has restrained their widespread clinical application. Despite great efforts in recent years, the in vitro expansion of HSCs remains a challenge due to incomplete understanding of the signaling networks underlying HSC self-renewal. Here we show that culturing human cord blood (CB) CD34+ cells with JNK-IN-8, an inhibitor of the JNK signaling pathway, can enhance the self-renewal of HSCs with a 6-fold increase in number. These expanded CD34+ cells repopulated recipient mice for 20 weeks and can form secondary engraftment that lasted for more than 21 weeks. Knockdown of c-Jun, a major downstream target in the JNK pathway, significantly promoted the expansion of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs). Our findings demonstrate a critical role of JNK pathway in regulating HSC expansion, provide new insights into HSC self-renewal mechanism, and may lead to improved clinical application of HSCs.
