Efforts to change the fate of human hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) and progenitor cells (HPC) in-vitro have met with limited success. We hypothesized that previously utilized in-vitro conditions might result in silencing of genes required for the maintenance of primitive HSC/HPC. DNA methylation and histone deacetylation are components of an epigenetic program that regulates gene expression. Using pharmacological agents in-vitro that might possibly interfere with DNA methylation and histone deacetylation we attempted to maintain and expand cells with phenotypic and functional characteristics of primitive HSC/HPC. Human marrow CD34+ cells were exposed to a cytokine cocktail favoring differentiation in combination with 5aza 2deoxycytidine (5azaD) and trichostatin A (TSA) resulting in a significant expansion of a subset of CD34+ cells that possessed phenotypic properties as well as the proliferative potential characteristic of primitive HSC/HPC. In addition 5azaD and TSA pre-treated cells but not the CD34+ cells exposed to cytokines alone retained the ability to repopulate immunodeficient mice. Our findings demonstrate that 5azaD and TSA can be used to alter the fate of primitive HSC/HPC during in vitro culture.
