Abstract
Hematopoietic cell homing after hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) is governed by several pathways involving marrow niche cells that are evoked after pre-HCT conditioning. To understand the factors that play a role in homing, we performed expression analysis on the zebrafish marrow niche cells following conditioning. We determined that the non-collagenous protein extracellular matrix related protein dermatopontin (Dpt) was upregulated seven-fold in response to irradiation. Studies in mice revealed DPT induction both with radiation and lipopolysaccharide exposure. Interestingly, we found that co-incubation of zebrafish or murine hematopoietic cells with rDPT impedes hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell homing by 50% and 86%, respectively. Similarly, this translated into a 24% reduction in long term engraftment (versus control, p = 0.01). We found DPT to interact with VLA-4 and block hematopoietic - endothelial cell adhesion and transendothelial migration. Finally, a DPT knockout mouse displayed a 60% increase in homing of hematopoietic cells versus wildtype (p = 0.03) with slight improvement in long-term LSK-SLAM engraftment (2-fold, p = 0.04). These data show that the extracellular matrix (ECM)-related protein DPT increases with radiation and transiently impedes the transendothelial migration of hematopoietic cells to the marrow.
