The role of CD74 in Hematopoietic Stem Cells


ABSTRACT: Hematopoietic stem and progenitors cells (HSPCs) are a small population of undifferentiated cells that have the capacity for self-renewal, and differentiate into all blood cell lineages. These cells are the most useful cells for clinical transplantations and for regenerative medicine. So far, it has not been possible to expand adult hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) without losing their self-renewal properties. CD74 is a cell surface receptor for the cytokine macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF), and its mRNA is known to be expressed in HSCs. Here, we demonstrate that mice lacking CD74 exhibit an accumulation of hematopoietic stem cells in the BM due to their increased potential to repopulate and compete for BM niches. Our results suggest that CD74 regulates the maintenance of the HSCs and CD18 expression. Its absence leads to induced survival of these cells, and accumulation of quiescent and proliferating cells. Furthermore, in in-vitro experiments, blocking of CD74 elevated the numbers of HSPCs. Thus, we suggest that blocking CD74 could lead to improved clinical insight into bone marrow transplant protocols, enabling improved engraftment.
