Research Abstract

Hematopoietic stem cells(HSCs) reside in a bone marrow niche in a nondividing state, from which they occasionally arise to undergo cell division. Yet, the mechanism underlying this unique feature remains largely unknown. We screened candidate niche signals that inhibit lipid raft clustering, and identified that transforming growth factor-β(TGF-β) efficiently induces HSC hibernation ex vivo. From these data, we uncovered a critical role for TGF-βas a candidate niche signal in the control of HSC hibernation and provided TGF-βas a novel tool for ex vivo modeling of the HSC niche. TGF-βis produced as a latent form by a variety of cells, so we next searched for those that express activator molecules for latent TGF-β. Nonmyelinating Schwann cells in bone marrow(BM) proved responsible for the activation. These glial cells ensheathed autonomic nerves, expressed HSC niche factor genes, and were in contact with a substantial proportion of HSCs. Autonomic nerve denervation reduced the number of these active TGF-β-producing cells and led to rapid loss of HSCs from BM. Collectively, we for the first time demonstrated that glial cells are components of a BM niche and maintain HSC hibernation by regulating activation of latent TGF-β.
