Enhanced Hematopoietic Stem Cell Self‐Renewal‐Promoting Ability of Clonal Primary Mesenchymal Stromal/Stem cells Versus Their Osteogenic Progeny

Long‐term self‐renewing hematopoietic stem cell (LT‐HSC) homeostasis within the bone marrow (BM) of adult mammals is regulated by complex interactions between LT‐HSC and a number of niche‐associated cell types including mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (MSC), osteoblasts (OB), macrophage, and neuronal cells in close proximity with the vasculature. Here, we cloned and functionally characterized a murine BM MSC subpopulation that was uniformly Nestin+Lepr +Sca‐1+CD146+ and could be stably propagated with high colony‐forming unit fibroblast re‐cloning efficiency. MSC synergized with SCF and IL‐11 to support a 20‐fold expansion in true LT‐HSC after 10‐days of in vitro coculture. Optimal stimulation of LT‐HSC expansion was minimally dependent on Notch signaling but was significantly enhanced by global inhibition of Wnt signaling. The self‐renewal‐promoting activity of MSC was progressively lost when MSC clones were differentiated into mature OB. This suggests that the stage of osteoblast development may significantly impact the ability of osteolineage cells to support LT‐HSC homeostasis in vivo. Stem Cells 2017;35:473–484
