Endothelial and perivascular cells maintain haematopoietic stem cells
Translate Article 
Multiple cell types have been proposed to create niches for haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). However, the expression patterns of HSC maintenance factors have not been systematically studied and no such factor has been conditionally deleted from any candidate niche cell. Thus, the cellular sources of these factors are undetermined. Stem Cell Factor (SCF) is a key niche component that maintains HSCs. Using Scfgfp knock-in mice we found Scf was primarily expressed by perivascular cells throughout bone marrow. HSC frequency and function were not affected when Scf was conditionally deleted from haematopoietic cells, osteoblasts, Nestin-Cre, or Nestin-CreER-expressing cells. However, HSCs were depleted from bone marrow when Scf was deleted from endothelial cells or Leptin receptor (Lepr)-expressing perivascular stromal cells. Most HSCs were lost when Scf was deleted from both endothelial and Lepr-expressing perivascular cells. HSCs reside in a perivascular niche in which multiple cell types express factors that promote HSC maintenance.

Recent studies have identified multiple cell types that regulate haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs); however, proof that a specific cell type produces a specific factor important for HSC function and maintenance is largely lacking. Ding et al (2012) reported recently that conditional deletion of stem cell factor (SCF) in Leptin receptor ( Lepr ) expressing perivascular cells or endothelial and haematopoietic cells resulted in significant reductions in number but less profound reduction in function of HSCs. Although the long‐term fate of HSCs in these models is largely unexplored and an underlying mechanism for reduction in HSCs not yet reported, these findings further implicate the vascular niche in the functional maintenance of HSCs in vivo and also raise intriguing questions for future studies in this field.
