Postnatal CD34+ cells expressing vascular
endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (KDR) generate hematopoietic or
endothelial progeny in different in vitro and in vivo assays.
Hypothetically, CD34+KDR+ cells may comprise
hemangioblasts bipotent for both lineages. This hypothesis is
consistent with 2 series of experiments. In the first series, in
clonogenic culture permissive for hematopoietic and endothelial
cell growth, CD34+KDR+ cells generate large
hemato-endothelial (Hem-End) colonies (5% of seeded cells), whereas
CD34+KDR cells do not. Limiting-dilution
analysis indicates that Hem-End colonies are clonally generated by
single hemangioblasts. Sibling cells generated by a hemangioblast,
replated in unicellular culture, produce either hematopoietic or
Hem-End colonies, depending on the specific culture conditions.
Identification of endothelial cells was based on the expression of
VE-cadherin and endothelial markers and with lack of CD45 and
hematopoietic molecules, as evaluated by immunofluorescence,
immunocytochemistry, and reverse transcription-polymerase chain
reaction. Furthermore, endothelial cells were functionally identified
using low-density lipoprotein (LDL) uptake and tube-formation assays.
In the second series, to evaluate the self-renewal capacity of
hemangioblasts, single CD34+KDR+ cells were
grown in 3-month extended long-term culture (ELTC) through 3 serial
culture rounds that is, blast cells generated in unicellular ELTC were
reseeded for a subsequent round of unicellular ELTC. After 9 months,
10% blasts from tertiary ELTC functioned as hemangioblasts and
generated macroscopic Hem-End colonies in clonogenic culture. These
studies identified postnatal hemangioblasts in a
CD34+KDR+ cell subset, endowed with long-term
proliferative potential and bilineage differentiation capacity.
Although exceedingly rare, hemangioblasts may represent the lifetime
source/reservoir for primitive hematopoietic and endothelial progenitors.
