چکیده

Reprogramming of somatic cells to desired cell types holds great promise in regenerative medicine. However, production of transplantable hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) in vitro by defined factors has not yet been achieved. Therefore, it is critical to fully understand the molecular mechanisms of HSC development in vivo. Here, we show that Fev, an ETS transcription factor, is a pivotal regulator of HSC development in vertebrates. In fev-deficient zebrafish embryos, the first definitive HSC population was compromised and fewer T cells were found in the thymus. Genetic and chemical analyses support a mechanism whereby Fev regulates HSC through direct regulation of ERK signaling. Blastula transplant assay demonstrates that Fev regulation of HSC development is cell autonomous. Experiments performed with purified cord blood show that fev is expressed and functions in primitive HSCs in humans, indicating its conserved role in higher vertebrates. Our data indicate that Fev-ERK signaling is essential for hemogenic endothelium-based HSC development.

HEMATOPOIESIS AND STEM CELLS Prostaglandin E2 regulates murine hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells directly via EP4 receptor and indirectly through mesenchymal progenitor cells

• PGE2 signaling positively regulates hematopoietic stem cells both directly and via activation of a nonhematopoietic cell population. • EP4 is a major receptor for the PGE2-mediated regulation of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells. Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) regulates hematopoietic stem/progenitor cell (HSPC) activity. However, the receptor(s) responsible for PGE2 signaling remains unclear. ...

Suppressor of Cytokine Signaling 2 Negatively Regulates NK Cell Differentiation by Inhibiting JAK2 Activity

Suppressor of cytokine signaling (SOCS) proteins are negative regulators of cytokine responses. Although recent reports have shown regulatory roles for SOCS proteins in innate and adaptive immunity, their roles in natural killer (NK) cell development are largely unknown. Here, we show that SOCS2 is involved in NK cell development. SOCS2-/- mice showed a high frequency of NK cells in the bone ma...

Running title: A critical role of PI 3-kinase in hematopoietic stem cells

The Steel Factor (SF) and its receptor c-Kit play a critical role for various cell types at different levels in the hematopoietic hierarchy. Whether similar or distinct signaling pathways are employed upon c-Kit activation in different cell types within the hematopoietic hierarchy is not known. To study c-Kit signaling pathways in the hematopoietic system we have compared c-Kit downstream signa...
