Expression of the hemoglobin-haptoglobin receptor CD163 on hematopoietic progenitors

Abstract

CD163, the hemoglobin-haptoglobin receptor, has been reported to be expressed exclusively on monocyte/ macrophages. Here we demonstrate that CD163 is also expressed by a subpopulation of hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells. Flow cytometric analysis shows that 1.9 +/- 1.3% (+/-SD, n = 16) of adult bone marrow and 2.0 +/- 1.8% (n = 8) of umbilical cord blood CD34(+) cells express cell-surface CD163, and 69.1 +/- 16.9% (n = 9) and 79.7 +/- 22.4% (n = 8) of the respective cells contain the CD163 protein intracellularly. The expression of CD163 by CD34(+) cells was confirmed by western blot analysis of cell lysates. Transcripts corresponding to the known predominant and variant 1 forms of CD163 were amplified via RT-PCR from CD34(+) cell-derived mRNA. A new variant (K11) with a deletion at the start of exon 15 was also detected. The deleted region contains a PKCalpha phosphorylation site and an amino acid sequence (YREM) that may support efficient receptor endocytosis. The addition of activating anti-CD163 antibodies increased the growth and differentiation of erythroid progenitors in colony-forming assays. These data suggest that hemoglobin may mediate a stimulatory effect on erythropoiesis through the activation of CD163 on hemato...Continue Reading

Adult Stem Cells

Adult stem cells reside in unique niches that provide vital cues for their survival, self-renewal, and differentiation. They hold great promise for use in tissue repair and regeneration as a novel therapeutic strategies. Here is the latest research.

Blood And Marrow Transplantation

The use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or blood and marrow transplantation (bmt) is on the increase worldwide. BMT is used to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. Here is the latest research on bone and marrow transplantation.
