The proto-oncogene c-fos was transiently upregulated in
primitive hematopoietic stem (Lin Sca-1+)
cells stimulated with stem cell factor, interleukin-3 (IL-3), and IL-6.
To investigate a role of the c-fos in hematopoietic stem cells,
we used bone marrow (BM) cells from transgenic mice carrying the
c-fos gene under the control of the
interferon- / -inducible Mx-promoter (Mx-c-fos), and fetal liver
cells from c-fos-deficient mice. Prolonged expression of the
c-fos in LinSca-1+ BM cells
inhibited factor-dependent colony formation and hematopoiesis on a
stromal cell layer by keeping them at G0/G1 phase of the cell cycle.
These LinSca-1+ BM cells on a stromal
layer entered into the cell cycle whenever exogenous c-fos was
downregulated. However, ectopic c-fos did not perturb colony
formation by LinSca-1+ BM cells after they
entered the cell cycle. Furthermore, endogenous c-fos is not
essential to cell cycle progression of hematopoietic stem cells because
the factor-dependent and the stroma-dependent hematopoiesis by
LinSca-1+ fetal liver cells from
c-fos-deficient mice was not impaired. These results suggest
that the c-fos induced in primitive hematopoietic stem cells
negatively controls cell cycle progression and maintains them in a
dormant state.
