Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Hematopoietic microenvironment regulates hematopoietic stem cells mainly through the cell-cell, cell-soluble regulator and cell-extracelluar matrix modes.

OBJECTIVE: To review the molecular mechanism underlying regulation of hematopoietic stem cells under the cell-cell, cell-soluble factors and cell-extracellular matrix modes.
METHODS: A computer-based online search of PubMed database was performed to search related articles with the key words of “Niche, HSC, VCAM-1, VLA-4, TPO, MPL, ECM, Integrin, N-cadherin, ANG-1, Tie2, VLA-5, Jagged-1, Notch, CXCL12, CXCR4, SCF, Kit, BMPs/TGF-β, TGF-βR, IFNα, IFNαR” in English. Irrelevant or repetitive studies as well as old literature were excluded, and finally 80 articles were included in result analysis.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Cells on the endosteal surface, vascular endothelial cells, perivascular cells, and some unknown or certain cells or small molecules in the bone marrow cavity constitute the specialized microenvironment for hematopoietic stem cells. Hematopoietic stem cells in the hematopoietic microenvironment remain a relatively steady state, which is the result of mutual contact of hematopoietic stem cells and hematopoietic microenvironment under the regulation of some important molecules, such as Pten and osteopontin, via the pathway between cell-intercellular adhesions, intercellular soluble factors, and cells and extracellular matrix.
