The SH2-domain-containing Inositol 5'-Phosphatase-1 (SHIP) has the potential to modulate multiple signaling pathways downstream of receptors that impact hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) biology. Therefore, we postulated that SHIP might play an important role in HSC homeostasis and function. Consistent with this hypothesis, HSC proliferation and numbers are increased in SHIP-/- mice. Despite expansion of the compartment, SHIP-/- HSC exhibit reduced capacity for long-term repopulation. Interestingly, we observe that SHIP-/- stem/progenitor cells home inefficiently to BM and consistent with this finding they have reduced surface levels of both CXCR4 and VCAM-1. These studies demonstrate that SHIP is critical for normal HSC function, homeostasis and homing. CiteULike    Connotea    Del.icio.us    Digg    Reddit    Technorati    What's this?
