Natural Killer and B-Lymphoid Potential in CD34+ Cells
Derived From Embryonic Stem Cells Differentiated in the Presence of
Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor

Differentiation of totipotent mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells to
various lymphohematopoietic cells is an in vitro model of the
hematopoietic cell development during embryogenesis. To understand this
process at cellular levels, differentiation intermediates were
investigated. ES cells generated progeny expressing CD34, which was
significantly enhanced by vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF).
The isolated CD34+ cells were enriched for myeloid
colony-forming cells but not significantly for erythroid colony-forming
cells. When cultured on OP9 stroma cells in the presence of
interleukin-2 and interleukin-7, the CD34+ cells
developed two types of B220+ CD34
lymphocytes: CD3 cytotoxic lymphocytes and
CD19+ pre-B cells, and such lymphoid potential was highly
enriched in the CD34+ population. Interestingly, the
cytotoxic cells expressed the natural killer (NK) cell markers, such as
NKR-P1, perforin, and granzymes, classified into two types, one of
which showed target specificity of NK cells. Thus, ES cells have
potential to generate NK-type cytotoxic lymphocytes in vitro in
addition to erythro-myeloid cells and pre-B cells, and both myeloid and
lymphoid cells seem to be derived from the CD34+
intermediate, on which VEGF may play an important role.
