Abstract

Despite its wide use as a marker for hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), the function of stem cell antigen–1 (Sca-1) (also known as lymphocyte activation protein–6A [Ly-6A]) in hematopoiesis remains poorly defined. We have previously established that Sca-1−/−T cells develop normally, although they are hyperresponsive to antigen. Here, we report detailed analysis of hematopoiesis in Sca-1–deficient animals. The differentiation potential of Sca-1–null bone marrow was determined from examination of the most mature precursors (culture colony-forming units [CFU-Cs]) to less committed progenitors (spleen CFUs [CFU-Ss]) to long-term repopulating HSCs. Sca-1–null mice are mildly thrombocytopenic with a concomitant decrease in megakaryocytes and their precursors. Bone marrow cells derived fromSca-1−/− mice also have decreased multipotential granulocyte, erythroid, macrophage, and megakaryocyte CFU (GEMM-CFU) and CFU-S progenitor activity. Competitive repopulation assays demonstrated that Sca-1−/−HSCs are at a competitive disadvantage compared with wild-type HSCs. To further analyze the potential of Sca-1−/−HSCs, serial transplantations were performed. While secondary repopulations using wild-type bone marrow completely repopulatedSca-1−/−mice, Sca-1−/−bone marrow failed to rescue one third of lethally irradiated wild-type mice receiving secondary bone marrow transplants from irradiation-induced anemia and contributed poorly to the surviving transplant recipients. These data strongly suggest that Sca-1 is required for regulating HSC self-renewal and the development of committed progenitor cells, megakaryocytes, and platelets. Thus, our studies conclusively demonstrate that Sca-1, in addition to being a marker of HSCs, regulates the developmental program of HSCs and specific progenitor populations.

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.
