Controversy has existed about CD34 expression by hematopoietic stem
cells. We recently reported that CD34 expression reflects the
activation state of stem cells by using a murine transplantation model.
It has been generally held that mobilized blood stem cells express
CD34.However, it has also been reported that mobilized stem cells and
progenitors are in G0/G1 phases of the cell cycle. To address the state
of CD34 expression by the mobilized stem cells, we again used the mouse
transplantation model. We prepared CD34 and
CD34+ populations of nucleated blood cells from granulocyte
colony-stimulating factor-treated Ly-5.1 mice and assayed each
population for long-term engrafting cells in lethally irradiated Ly-5.2
mice. The majority of the stem cells were in the CD34+
population. The CD34 expression by mobilized stem cells was reversible because re-transplantation of Ly-5.1 CD34 marrow cells
harvested from the Ly-5.2 recipients of CD34+-mobilized
stem cells 8 months posttransplantation revealed long-term engraftment.
These results may support the use of total CD34+ cells in
mobilized blood as a predictor for engraftment and CD34 selection for
enrichment of human stem cells.
