Description:
Whereas the cellular basis of the hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) niche in the bone marrow has been characterized, the nature of the fetal liver niche is not yet elucidated. We show that Nestin(+)NG2(+) pericytes associate with portal vessels, forming a niche promoting HSC expansion. Nestin(+)NG2(+) cells and HSCs scale during development with the fractal branching patterns of portal vessels, tributaries of the umbilical vein. After closure of the umbilical inlet at birth, portal vessels undergo a transition from Neuropilin-1(+)Ephrin-B2(+) artery to EphB4(+) vein phenotype, associated with a loss of periportal Nestin(+)NG2(+) cells and emigration of HSCs away from portal vessels. These data support a model in which HSCs are titrated against a periportal vascular niche with a fractal-like organization enabled by placental circulation.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4706788/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉 〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4706788/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Khan, Jalal A -- Mendelson, Avital -- Kunisaki, Yuya -- Birbrair, Alexander -- Kou, Yan -- Arnal-Estape, Anna -- Pinho, Sandra -- Ciero, Paul -- Nakahara, Fumio -- Ma'ayan, Avi -- Bergman, Aviv -- Merad, Miriam -- Frenette, Paul S -- CA164468/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- DA033788/DA/NIDA NIH HHS/ -- DK056638/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- F30 943257/PHS HHS/ -- F32 HL123224/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- HL069438/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- HL097700/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- R01 CA173861/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 CA190400/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 DA033788/DA/NIDA NIH HHS/ -- R01 DK056638/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- R01 HL069438/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- R01 HL116340/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- R01GM098316/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- T32 063754/PHS HHS/ -- U54 HL127624/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- U54CA189201/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- U54HL127624/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2016 Jan 8;351(6269):176-80. doi: 10.1126/science.aad0084.
