Chemokine-mediated interaction of hematopoietic progenitors with the bone marrow vascular niche is required for thrombopoiesis.

TL;DR: It is reported that chemokine-mediated interactions of megakaryocyte progenitors with sinusoidal bone marrow endothelial cells (BMECs) promote thrombopoietin (TPO)-independent platelet production, and progenitor-active chemokines offer a new strategy to restore hematopoiesis in a clinical setting.

Placental growth factor reconstitutes hematopoiesis by recruiting VEGFR1 + stem cells from bone-marrow microenvironment
Koichi Hattori,Beate Heissig,Yan Wu,Sergio Dias,Rafael Tejada,Barbara Ferris,Daniel J. Hicklin,Zhenping Zhu,Peter Bohlen,Larry Witte,Jan Hendrikx,Neil R. Hackett,Ronald G. Crystal,Malcolm A.S. Moore,Zena Werb,David Lyden,David Lyden,Shahin Rafii +17 more
TL;DR: Functional vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-1 (VEGFR1) is expressed on human CD34+ and mouse Lin−Sca-1+c-Kit+ BM-repopulating stem cells, conveying signals for recruitment of HSCs and reconstitution of hematopoiesis.

TL;DR: Two fully human anti-KDR antibodies are produced, from Fab fragments originally isolated from a large antibody phage display library, that strongly inhibited VEGF-induced migration of human leukemia cells in vitro, and when administered in vivo, significantly prolonged survival of NOD-SCID mice inoculated withhuman leukemia cells.

Newly Discovered Polymorphism in the CD34+ Stem Cell Specific AC133-P1 Promoter Linked to Leukemias.
Sergey V. Shmelkov,Ryan St Clair,Lin Jun,Agata Calderone,Matthias A. Karajannis,Kristian Jensen,Lauren M. Young,Kathryn A. Walsh,Koji Shido,David K. Jin,Fan Zhang,Joseph Cheng,George Lam,Rafael Tejada,Scott T. Avecilla,Loic Vincent,Hans-Georg Kopp,Gal Akiri,David Lyden,Shahin Rafii +19 more
TL;DR: Preliminary data suggest that hematopoietic stem cells express only one AC133 isoform and four allelic variants in the AC133-P1 promoter, which differ by the number of short tandem repeats as well as by a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), might lay a foundation for testing a risk of susceptibility to AC133+ leukemias.

TL;DR: The mechanism by which angiogenic factors influence the localization of hematopoietic stem cells to various marrow niches, thereby facilitating their proliferation, differentiation, and recruitment to various tissues is described.
