ABSTRACT
Hematopoiesis is maintained by hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) that replenish all blood lineages throughout life. It is well-established that the HSC pool is functionally heterogeneous consisting of cells differing in longevity, self-renewal ability, cell proliferation, and lineage differentiation. Although HSCs can be identified through the Lineage-Sca-1+c-Kit+CD48-CD34-CD150+ immunophenotype, the cell surface marker combination does not permit absolute purification of functional HSCs with long-term reconstituting ability. Therefore, prospective isolation of long-term HSCs is crucial for mechanistic understanding of the biological functions of HSCs and for resolving functional heterogeneity within the HSC population. Here, we show that the combination of CD229 and CD49b cell surface markers within the phenotypic HSC compartment identifies a subset of multipotent progenitor (MPP) cells with high proliferative activity and short-term reconstituting ability. Thus, the addition of CD229 and CD49b to conventional HSC markers permits prospective isolation of functional HSCs by distinguishing MPPs in the HSC compartment.
