Abstract

The transition of hematopoiesis from the fetal liver (FL) to the bone marrow (BM) is incompletely characterized. We demonstrate that the Wiskott–Aldrich syndrome verprolin-homologous protein (WAVE) complex 2 is required for this transition, as complex degradation via deletion of its scaffold Hem-1 causes the premature exhaustion of neonatal BM hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). This exhaustion of BM HSC is due to the failure of BM engraftment of Hem-1−/− FL HSCs, causing early death. The Hem-1−/− FL HSC engraftment defect is not due to the lack of the canonical function of the WAVE2 complex, the regulation of actin polymerization, because FL HSCs from Hem-1−/− mice exhibit no defects in chemotaxis, BM homing, or adhesion. Rather, the failure of Hem-1−/− FL HSC engraftment in the marrow is due to the loss of c-Abl survival signaling from degradation of the WAVE2 complex. However, c-Abl activity is dispensable for the engraftment of adult BM HSCs into the BM. These findings reveal a novel function of the WAVE2 complex and define a mechanism for FL HSC fitness in the embryonic BM niche.

  • Defects in neutrophil, dendritic cell, and macrophage migration and phagocytosis impair innate immune defenses, predisposing HEM1-deficient patients to bacterial infections.

    “Like mouse models of HEM1 deficiency, defects in neutrophil, dendritic cell, and macrophage migration and phagocytosis impair innate immune defenses, predisposing patients to bacterial infections [32–35].”

    From HEM1 Actin Immunodysregulatory Disorder: Genotypes, Phenotypes, and Future Directions (2022) · cites this paper as [34]

    The Results section ‘Hem-1−/− FL HSCs can migrate to the BM’ (page unavailable) reports defective migration in neutrophils from Hem-1-deficient mice. It does not establish migration or phagocytosis defects in dendritic cells or macrophages, or show that these defects predispose HEM1-deficient patients to bacterial infections. (LLM, conf=0.88)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
