Tie-2 receptor tyrosine kinase expressed in endothelial and
hematopoietic cells is believed to play a role in both angiogenesis and
hematopoiesis during development of the mouse embryo. This article
addressed whether Tie-2 is expressed on fetal liver hematopoietic stem
cells (HSCs) at day 14 of gestation. With the use of anti-Tie-2 monoclonal antibody, its expression was detected in approximately 7%
of an HSC population of Kit-positive, Sca-1-positive, lineage-negative or -low, and AA4.1-positive (KSLA) cells. These Tie-2-positive KSLA
(T+ KSLA) cells represent 0.01% to 0.02% of fetal liver
cells. In vitro colony and in vivo competitive repopulation assays were performed for T+ KSLA cells and Tie-2-negative KSLA
(T KSLA) cells. In the presence of stem cell factor,
interleukin-3, and erythropoietin, 80% of T+ KSLA cells
formed colonies in vitro, compared with 40% of T KSLA
cells. Long-term multilineage repopulating cells were detected in
T+ KSLA cells, but not in T KSLA cells. An in
vivo limiting dilution analysis revealed that at least 1 of 8 T+ KSLA cells were such repopulating cells. The successful
secondary transplantation initiated with a limited number of
T+ KSLA cells suggests that these cells have self-renewal
potential. In addition, engraftment of T+ KSLA cells in
conditioned newborn mice indicates that these HSCs can be adapted
equally by the adult and newborn hematopoietic environments. The data
suggest that T+ KSLA cells represent HSCs in the murine
fetal liver.
