The bone marrow vascular niche: home of HSC differentiation and mobilization.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The bone marrow vascular niche consists of a network of thin-walled and fenestrated sinusoidal vessels whose integrity is maintained and supported by surrounding hematopoietic cells. However, this dependence is highly reciprocal in that the bone marrow vasculature provides not only a conduit for mature hematopoietic cells to the peripheral circulation but also a site where hematopoietic progenitors, especially megakaryocytes, differentiate and set the stage for full reconstitution of hematopoiesis.

Advances in Hematopoietic Stem Cell Mobilization and Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplantation
Hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) which give rise to different blood cell types are present within the bone marrow microenvironment, especially in flat bones such as skull, vertebrae, pelvis and chest. Interacting factors such as stromal derived factor-1/CXCR4, very late antigen-4/vascular cell adhesion molecule-1, Lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1/ intercellular adhesion molec...

Current Opinion in Hematology 2011, 18:231–238 Purpose of review Blood cell production is maintained by hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) that reside in specialized niches within bone marrow. Treatment with granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) causes HSC egress from bone marrow niches and trafficking to the peripheral blood, a process termed ‘mobilization’. Although the mobilization phen...
متن کاملHuman prostate cancer metastases target the hematopoietic stem cell niche to establish footholds in mouse bone marrow.
HSC homing, quiescence, and self-renewal depend on the bone marrow HSC niche. A large proportion of solid tumor metastases are bone metastases, known to usurp HSC homing pathways to establish footholds in the bone marrow. However, it is not clear whether tumors target the HSC niche during metastasis. Here we have shown in a mouse model of metastasis that human prostate cancer (PCa) cells direct...
متن کاملOsteolineage niche cells initiate hematopoietic stem cell mobilization.
Recent studies have implicated bone-lining osteoblasts as important regulators of hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) self-renewal and differentiation; however, because much of the evidence supporting this notion derives from indirect in vivo experiments, which are unavoidably complicated by the presence of other cell types within the complex bone marrow milieu, the sufficiency of osteoblasts in modu...
متن کاملDll4 blockade interferes with the bone marrow vascular niche and perturbs hematopoietic recovery following myeloablation
The Delta:Notch signaling pathway regulates numerous aspects of differentiation, morphogenesis and cell function, during embryogenesis and throughout adult life. More recently, Delta-like 4 (Dll4) has been shown to regulate adult neo-vascularization (angiogenesis). Consequently, therapeutic strategies to target Dll4 have been put forward for the treatment of different cancers. In the present st...
