Observations reveal macrophages regulate HSC trans-endocytosis, impacting metabolic regulation and aging responses.

To explore how macrophages influence hematopoietic stem cell trans-endocytosis and its implications for aging and stress responses.
Isolated macrophage populations in the bone marrow using CD169 and MerTK markers.
Conducted in vitro culture experiments to examine HSC uptake of transferred materials.
Analyzed effects of lactate on HSC trans-endocytic activity.
Identified distinct macrophage populations involved in HSC trogocytosis.
Found that macrophage-specific CD169 is crucial for trans-endocytosis in HSCs.
CD169-/- mice displayed altered metabolic regulation and impaired HSC responses during regeneration.

Xu et al. (2025) studied this question.
