RESUMEN

Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) give rise to variety of hematopoietic cells via pluripotential progenitors and lineage-committed progenitors and are responsible for blood production throughout adult life. Amplification of HSCs or progenitors represents a potentially powerful approach to the treatment of various blood disorders and to applying gene therapy by bone marrow transplantation. Lnk is an adaptor protein regulating the production of B cells. Here we show that Lnk is also expressed in hematopoietic progenitors in bone marrow, and that in the absence of Lnk, the number and the hematopoietic ability of progenitors are significantly increased. Augmented growth signals through c-Kit partly contributed to the enhanced hematopoiesis by lnk-/- cells. Lnk was phosphorylated by and associated with c-Kit, and selectively inhibited c-Kit-mediated proliferation by attenuating phosphorylation of Gab2 and activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase cascade. These observations indicate that Lnk plays critical roles in the expansion and function of early hematopoietic progenitors, and provide useful clues for the amplification of hematopoietic progenitor cells.

RESUMEN

Lnk is an adaptor protein expressed primarily in lymphocytes and hemopoietic precursor cells. Marked expansion of B lineage cells occurs in lnk(-/-) mice, indicating that Lnk regulates B cell production by negatively controlling pro-B cell expansion. In addition, lnk(-/-) hemopoietic precursors have an advantage in repopulating the hemopoietic system of irradiated host animals. In this study, we show that Lnk overexpression results in impaired expansion of lymphoid precursor cells and altered mature B cell subpopulations. The representation of both B lineage and T lineage cells was reduced in transgenic mice overexpressing Lnk under the control of a lymphocyte-specific expression vector. Whereas the overall number of B and T cells was correlated with Lnk protein expression levels, marginal zone B cells in spleen and B1 cells in the peritoneal cavity were relatively resistant to Lnk overexpression. The C-terminal tyrosine residue, conserved among Lnk family adaptor proteins, was dispensable for the negative regulatory roles of Lnk in lymphocyte development. Our results illuminate the novel negative regulatory mechanism mediated by the Lnk adaptor protein in controlling lymphocyte production and function.
