Vascular endothelial growth factor synergistically enhances bone
morphogenetic protein-4-dependent lymphohematopoietic cell generation
from embryonic stem cells in vitro

The totipotent mouse embryonic stem (ES) cell is known to
differentiate into cells expressing the -globin gene when stimulated with bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)-4. Here, we demonstrate that
BMP-4 is essential for generating both erythro-myeloid colony-forming cells (CFCs) and lymphoid (B and NK) progenitor cells from ES cells and
that vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) synergizes with BMP-4.
The CD45+ myelomonocytic progenitors and
Ter119+ erythroid cells began to be detected with 0.5 ng/mL BMP-4, and their levels plateaued at approximately 2 ng/mL.
VEGF alone weakly elevated the CD34+ cell
population though no lymphohematopoietic progenitors were induced.
However, when combined with BMP-4, 2 to 20 ng/mL VEGF synergistically
augmented the BMP-4-dependent generation of erythro-myeloid CFCs and
lymphoid progenitors from ES cells, which were enriched in
CD34+ CD31lo and CD34+
CD45 cell populations, respectively, in a dose-dependent
manner. Furthermore, during the 7 days of in vitro differentiation,
BMP-4 was required within the first 4 days, whereas VEGF was functional
after the action of BMP-4 (in the last 3 days). Thus, VEGF is a
synergistic enhancer for the BMP-4-dependent differentiation processes,
and it seems to be achieved by the ordered action of the 2 factors.
