Syndecan-2 enriches for hematopoietic stem cells and regulates stem cell repopulating capacity.


ABSTRACT: The discovery of novel hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) surface markers can enhance understanding of HSC identity and function. We have discovered a population of primitive bone marrow (BM) HSCs distinguished by their expression of the heparan sulfate proteoglycan Syndecan-2, which serves as both a marker and a regulator of HSC function. Syndecan-2 expression was increased 10-fold in CD150+CD48-CD34-c-Kit+Sca-1+Lineage- cells (long-term HSCs [LT-HSCs]) compared with differentiated hematopoietic cells. Isolation of BM cells based solely on syndecan-2 surface expression produced a 24-fold enrichment for LT-HSCs and sixfold enrichment for α-catulin+c-kit+ HSCs, and yielded HSCs with superior in vivo repopulating capacity compared with CD150+ cells. Competitive repopulation assays revealed the HSC frequency to be 17-fold higher in syndecan-2+CD34-KSL cells compared with syndecan-2-CD34-KSL cells and indistinguishable from CD150+CD34-KSL cells. Syndecan-2 expression also identified nearly all repopulating HSCs within the CD150+CD34-KSL population. Mechanistically, syndecan-2 regulates HSC repopulating capacity through control of expression of Cdkn1c (p57) and HSC quiescence. Loss of syndecan-2 expression caused increased HSC cell cycle entry, downregulation of Cdkn1c, and loss of HSC long-term repopulating capacity. Syndecan-2 is a novel marker of HSCs that regulates HSC repopulating capacity via control of HSC quiescence.
