Abstract
Thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1)/CD47 signaling induces cell death and inhibits angiogenesis. Here, we investigated the possibility of improving donor engraftment by blocking the TSP-1/CD47 pathway in mouse models of total body irradiation (TBI)-conditioned syngeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Our findings revealed that HSCT engraftment was improved in mice deficient in CD47 (Cd47−/−) or TSP-1 (Thbs1−/−) compared to wild-type (WT) mice. The lack of TSP-1 or CD47 enhanced the production of CXCL12 by megakaryocytes and platelets, promoting the seeding of donor hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) in sinusoidal endothelial cell (SEC)/megakaryocyte niches. Both Cd47−/− and Thbs1−/− mice showed reduced platelet adhesion to sinusoidal vascular cells, attenuated endothelial injury, and enhanced BM vascular regeneration, preserving SEC niches. Antibody neutralization of TSP-1 significantly increased CXCL12 production, donor HSC engraftment, and vascular niche regeneration in WT mice. In summary, the TSP-1/CD47 pathway is a promising therapeutic target to enhance HSCT efficacy and reduce endothelial injury syndrome.
期刊介绍:
Science has many big remaining questions. To address them, we will need to work collaboratively and across disciplines. The goal of iScience is to help fuel that type of interdisciplinary thinking. iScience is a new open-access journal from Cell Press that provides a platform for original research in the life, physical, and earth sciences. The primary criterion for publication in iScience is a significant contribution to a relevant field combined with robust results and underlying methodology. The advances appearing in iScience include both fundamental and applied investigations across this interdisciplinary range of topic areas. To support transparency in scientific investigation, we are happy to consider replication studies and papers that describe negative results.
We know you want your work to be published quickly and to be widely visible within your community and beyond. With the strong international reputation of Cell Press behind it, publication in iScience will help your work garner the attention and recognition it merits. Like all Cell Press journals, iScience prioritizes rapid publication. Our editorial team pays special attention to high-quality author service and to efficient, clear-cut decisions based on the information available within the manuscript. iScience taps into the expertise across Cell Press journals and selected partners to inform our editorial decisions and help publish your science in a timely and seamless way.
