Methods for generating myeloid cells

Normal hematopoiesis relies on a dynamic, interactive network of stromal cell types that secrete a variety of growth factors and cytokines. Two of the most intensely studied molecules implicated in the interaction between HSPCs and stromal cells is the CXCL12 / CXCR4 signaling pair. Mutations resulting in impaired desensitization and enhanced CXCR4 signaling have been identified in the WHIM Syndrome (WS). Hereby, we use a mouse model harboring a WS-linked Cxcr4 gain-of-function mutation (CXCR4 C1013G ), along with a unique and robust co-culture model between primary MSCs and lymphoid-primed MPP (or MPP4). We report functional alterations in MSCs lacking Cxcr4 desensitization, affecting their interaction with MPP4 and interfering with their lymphoid / myeloid specification. In addition, using a human MSC cell line transduced with another WS-linked CXCR4 gain-of-function mutation (CXCR4 R334X ), we show that these genetically engineered MSCs also promoted the myeloid differentiation of human primary HSPCs.
