The hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) niche is involved in the maintainance and regulation of quiescence, self-renewal and differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells and the fate of their progeny in mammals dealing with the daily stresses to the hematopoietic system. From the discovery that perturbatio...
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation requires the collection of hematopoietic cells from patients or stem cell donors. Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) is widely used in the clinic to mobilize hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) from the adult bone marrow niche into circu...
Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) remain mostly quiescent under steady-state conditions but switch to a proliferative state following hematopoietic stress, e.g., bone marrow (BM) injury, transplantation, or systemic infection and inflammation. The homeostatic balance between quiescence, self-renewal, ...
Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is a potentially curative therapy for patients with a variety of malignant and non-malignant diseases. Despite its life-saving potential, HCT is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Reciprocal interactions between hematopoietic stem...
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and osteolineage cells contribute to the hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) niche in the bone marrow of long bones. However, their developmental relationships remain unclear. In this study, we demonstrate that different MSC populations in the developing marrow of long bones ...
The bone marrow niche maintains hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) homeostasis and declines in function in the physiologically aging population and in patients with hematological malignancies. A fundamental question is now whether and how HSCs are able to renew or repair their niche. Here, we show that d...
Osteopetrosis is a rare inherited disease characterized by impaired osteoclast activity causing defective bone resorption and bone marrow aplasia. It is fatal in early childhood unless hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is performed. But, the transplant course is complicated with engraftment fa...
Signal transducer and activator of transcription 5 (STAT5a and STAT5b) are intrinsically critical for normal hematopoiesis but are also expressed in stromal cells. Here, STAT5ab knockout (KO) was generated with a variety of bone marrow hematopoietic and stromal Cre transgenic mouse strains. Vav1-Cre...
Notch signaling is essential for the emergence of definitive hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) in the embryo and their development in the fetal liver niche. However, how Notch signaling is activated and which fetal liver cell type provides the ligand for receptor activation in HSCs is unknown. Here we...
Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) is a histone deacetylase implicated in stem cell homeostasis. Conditional Sirt1 deletion in the hematopoietic stem and progenitor system promotes hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell (HSPC) expansion under stress conditions. In addition, SIRT1 activators modulate the capac...
