Objective: To expand cord blood megakaryocyte progenitor cells in vitro.
Methods: Cord blood CD34+ cells were selected by magnetic cell sorting (MACS), and thrombopoietin (TPO), interleukin-11 (IL-11), and heparin were used in the expansion system of megakaryocyte progenitor. The expansion efficiency was measured by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) using the megakaryocytic specific monoclonal antibodies (CD34+, CD41a+, CD61+, CD34+CD41a+, CD41a+CD61+) and colony-forming units-megakaryocyte (CFU-MK) analysis. The expanded megakaryocyte progenitor were determined by histochemistry staining using CD41a and the observation of the ultrastructure of megakaryocyte (MK) by electron microscopy. The megakaryocyte function were examined by the platelet activation in vitro and nonobese diabetic/severe combined immunodifficiency (NOD/SCID) mice transplantation in vivo.
Results: CD34+CD41a+ cells was expanded (4.0 +/- 1.7) folds on day 7 in TPO (50 ng/ml) group and (10.5 +/- 4.8) fold in TPO combined with IL-11 group; after heparin was joined in on day 0, a more significantly elevated expansion was found in the heparin, TPO, and IL-11 group [(29.9 +/- 6.4) folds than the above two groups; P < 0.05]. Meanwhile, the large CFU-MK colony (> 50 cells/colony) was (106.8 +/- 26.9) folds on day 7 (P < 0.05). The megakaryocyte expanding with TPO, IL-11 and heparin for 7 days in vitro transplanted the NOD/SCID mice fasten the recovery of platelet and white blood cell account and improved the survival. Megakaryocyte under culture displayed certain development of territories membrane. Platelet activation test comfirmed that the expanding megakaryocyte progenitor had the normal function.
Conclusion: TPO, IL-11, and heparin combination system for ex vivo expansion is an effective expansion system of megakaryocyte progenitor.

Elevated circulating levels of calprotectin (CAL), the S100A8/A9 heterodimer, are biomarkers of severe systemic inflammation. Here, we investigate the effects of CAL on early human hematopoiesis. CAL demonstrates limited impact on gene expression in stem and progenitor cells, in contrast with interleukin-6 (IL6), which promotes the expression of the and genes in hematopoietic progenitors and the generation of monocytes that release CAL.

The SOCS-box proteins function to recruit specific substrates to the complex for ubiquitination and degradation. In hematopoiesis, SOCS-box proteins are best known for regulating the actions of cytokines that utilize the JAK-STAT signaling pathway.

Aging and chronic inflammation are associated with overabundant myeloid-primed multipotent progenitors (MPPs) amongst hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs). While HSC differentiation bias has been considered a primary cause of myeloid bias, whether it is sufficient has not been quantitatively evaluated. Here, we analyzed bone marrow data from the IκB- (Nfkbia+/-Nfkbib-/-Nfkbie-/-) mouse model of inflammation with elevated NFκB activity, which shows increased myeloid-biased MPPs.

Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are central to blood formation and play a pivotal role in hematopoietic and systemic aging. With aging, HSCs undergo significant functional changes, such as an increased stem cell pool, declined homing and reconstitution capacity, and skewed differentiation toward myeloid and megakaryocyte/platelet progenitors. These phenotypic alterations are likely due to the expansion of certain clones, known as clonal hematopoiesis (CH), which leads to disrupted hematopoietic homeostasis, including anemia, impaired immunity, higher risks of hematological malignancies, and even associations with cardiovascular disease, highlighting the broader impact of HSC aging on overall health.

Before committing to an erythroid cell lineage, hematopoietic stem cells differentiate along a myeloid cell pathway to generate megakaryocyte-erythroid biopotential progenitor cells in bone marrow. Recent studies suggest that erythroid progenitors (EryPs) could be generated at the level of common myeloid progenitors (CMPs). However, due to a lack of suitable markers, little is known about the early differentiation of these committed EryP cells during CMP development.
