Efficient Production of Human Hematopoietic Cells from Pluripotent Stem Cells through cAMP Induction
Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) emerge from hemogenic endothelium in the developing embryo. Mechanisms behind human hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell development remain elusive. Using a human pluripotent stem cell differentiation system, we show that cyclic AMP (cAMP) induction increases HSC-like cell frequencies. Furthermore, in hematopoietic progenitor and stem-like cells, cAMP induction decreased the oxidative stress, created a redox-state balance, and enhanced C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4 (CXCR4) expression, thus benefiting the maintenance of these primitive cells. Our work provides new strategies to upregulate hematopoietic cell generation, and advances the mechanistic understanding of hematopoietic development towards developing transplantable human hematopoietic cells for therapeutic purposes.
