Phenotype Does Not Always Equal Function: HDAC Inhibitors and UM171, but Not SR1, Lead to Rapid Upregulation of CD90 on Non-Engrafting CD34+CD90-Negative Human Cells

摘要
Background. The ability to expand human hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) has the potential to improve outcomes in HSC transplantation and increase the dose of gene-modified HSCs. While many approaches have been reported to expand HSCs, a direct comparison of the various methods to expand transplantable HSCs has not been published and clinical outcome data for the various methods is incomplete. In the present study, we compared several small molecule approaches reported to expand human HSCs including HDAC inhibitors, the aryl hydrocarbon antagonist, SR1, and UM171, a small molecule with unknown mechanism, for the ability to expand phenotypic HSC during in vitro culture and to expand cells that engraft NSG mice. Although all strategies increased the number of phenotypic HSC (CD34+CD90+CD45RA-) in vitro, SR1 was the most effective method to increase the number of NOD-SCID engrafting cells. Importantly, we found that HDAC inhibitors and UM171 upregulated phenotypic stem cell markers on downstream progenitors, suggesting that these compounds do not expand true HSCs.
