Research Abstract |
We demonstrated that detached RDEB epithelia recruit platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha (PDGFRα)-positive bone marrow cells (PDGFRα+ BMCs) via circulation, and that the PDGFRα+ BMCs contain particular population to provide epithelial cells expressing keratin 5 in the RDEB skin by differentiation of those bone marrow-derived PDGFRα-positive cells. Furthermore, the PDGFRα-positive BMCs were shown to be undifferentiated non-hematopoietic cell populations, and to reside particularly on and around surface of the bone and trabeculae in bone marrow by intravital two-photon imaging.
