Pten loss in the bone marrow leads to G-CSF–mediated HSC mobilization
Abstract
The phosphatase and tumor suppressor PTEN inhibits the phosphoinositol-3-kinase (PI3K) signaling pathway and plays a key role in cell growth, proliferation, survival, and migration. Pten conditional deletion using MxCre or Scl-CreERT leads to splenomegaly and leukemia formation, which occurs after the relocation of normal hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) from the bone marrow to the spleen. Unexpectedly, dormant HSCs in the bone marrow do not enter the cell cycle upon Pten loss, they do not lose self-renewal activity, and they are not exhausted. Instead, Pten deficiency causes an up-regulation of the PI3K pathway in myeloid cells, but not in HSCs. Strikingly, myeloid cells secrete high levels of G-CSF upon Pten loss, leading to the mobilization of HSCs from the bone marrow and accumulation in the spleen. After deletion of Pten in mice lacking G-CSF, the splenomegaly, myeloproliferative disease, and splenic HSC accumulation are rescued. Our data show that although PTEN has little if any role in normal HSCs, it is essential to prevent overt G-CSF production by myeloid and stromal cells which otherwise causes HSCs to relocate to the spleen followed by lethal leukemia initiation.

![Figure 4. Phenotypic and functional analysis of Pten-deficient HSCs. (A) Kinetic analysis of the relative change of LSKCD34−CD135− cells in the BM of PtenΔMx and PtenΔScl mice compared with controls (set to 100%). The asterisk indicates statistical significant change (P < 0.05). The cross indicates that the majority of mice do not survive beyond this time point. Each dot represents the mean value obtained from three to four mice. (B) FACS plots (top) and bar graph (bottom) showing the percentage of BrdU+ cells within the LSKCD135− population in BM and spleen after 90 min and in BM after 18 h of BrdU labeling. P = 0.99, P = 0.19, and P = 0.75, respectively. (C) Percentage of BrdU LRCs within the LSKCD34−CD135−population. Mice were initially labeled for 10 d with BrdU, followed by simultaneous induction of SCL-CreERT with Tx and 70 d of a BrdU free chase period. P = 0.02. Each dot represents a single mouse. Horizontal bars indicate mean values. (D) Kaplan-Meyer curve showing the survival of PtenΔMx and PtenΔScl mice (15 d [Mx] or 21 d [Scl] after deletion) during weekly 5-FU administration. n = 7 PtenΔMxmice, n = 4 PtenΔScl mice, n = 4 of each control group. (E) Analysis of intracellular Ki67 expression in LSKCD135− cells from BM (top, P = 0.43) and spleen (bottom, P = 0.81) of ptenΔMx mice. (F) Kinetic analysis of the relative change of LSKCD34−CD135− cells in the spleen of PtenΔMx and PtenΔScl mice compared with controls (set to 100%). The asterisk indicates statistically significant change (P < 0.05). The cross indicates that the majority of mice do not survive beyond this time point. Each dot represents the mean value obtained from three to four mice. (G) Bar graph showing CD45.2 donor contribution 5, 7, and 9 wk after transplantation of 0.4% of total BM and 1.6% of total splenocytes of control and PtenΔMx mice into CD45.1 hosts. n = 4 each group. (H) Limiting dilution analysis of BM cells (top) and splenocytes (bottom) of ptenΔMx (KO) and control (wt) mice. Values represent reconstituted mice (chimerism > 0.5%) versus total mice transplanted. CRUs were calculated using the method of maximum likelihood. The number of mice per group is indicated. (I) Percentage of CD45.2 donor contribution 12 wk after transplantation of 2500 LSK cells of control and PtenΔMx mice into CD45.1 hosts. (J and K) Multilineage reconstitution after transplantation of 2500 BM (J) or splenic (K) LSK cells from ptenΔMx mice. n = 2 controls, n = 3 mutants. (L) PCR analysis of DNA from FACS-sorted donor (CD45.2) splenocytes 12 wk after transplantation showing the absence of the Ptenflox but presence of the PtenΔ allele.

A representative FACS plot (M) and the fold change in the expression levels (N and O) are shown. Three independent experiments, n = 6 for each group. BM: P = 0.01 Pten, P > 0.05 pAktTh308, pAktSer473, and pGSK3βSer9. Spleen: P = 0.04 Pten, P > 0.05 pAktTh308, pAktSer473, and pGSK3βSer9.

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.
