Implication

Laboratory analysis reveals CD146 expression stratifies perivascular versus bone-lining human bone marrow stem cells, indicating an oxygen-dependent spatial niche organization.

Key Points

  • Identify the phenotypic profile and specific anatomical distribution of primary nonhematopoietic mesenchymal stem cell subsets within human bone marrow.
  • Sorted primary human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells into distinct subpopulations based on lin, CD271, CD45, and CD146 cell-surface expression.
  • Assayed colony-forming unit-fibroblast capacity and evaluated bone and hematopoietic stroma formation in vivo.
  • Examined CD146 expression under normoxic versus hypoxic conditions and mapped in situ spatial relationships with CD34⁺ hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells.
  • Colony-forming units-fibroblast were exclusively enriched in lin⁻/CD271⁺/CD45⁻ cells regardless of whether CD146 was positive or negative/low, with both populations forming bone and hematopoietic stroma in vivo.
  • CD146 expression was up-regulated in normoxia and down-regulated in hypoxia, matching in situ tissue distribution where CD146⁺ cells localized to perivascular areas and CD146⁻ cells lined bone surfaces.
  • CD34⁺ hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells were located in close physical proximity to mesenchymal stem cells in both perivascular and endosteal compartments.
