Abstract

A better understanding of cell-intrinsic factors involved in regulating stem cells and cancer cells will help advance stem cell applications and cancer cell treatment. Previously, we showed that leukocyte immunoglobulin-like receptor B2 (LILRB2) and its mouse ortholog, paired immunoglobulin-like receptor B (PIRB), promote blood stem cell and leukemia development. Another unique mouse paralog to PIRB called gp49B1 was also discovered. However, the roles of gp49B1 in hematopoietic stem cells and leukemia development are largely unknown. Here, we found that gp49B1 is expressed on LSK cells of mouse neonatal hematopoietic organs and is positively correlated with c-Kit expression. However, in noncompetitive and competitive repopulation assays, neonatal splenic gp49B1-positive and c-Kit-highly expressed LSK cells exhibited poor engraftment potential and lymphoid lineage bias. Moreover, in a mouse N-Myc-induced precursor B-acute lymphoblastic leukemia (pre-B ALL) model, we found that gp49B1 deficiency or low levels of c-Kit led to a delay in leukemia development. Together, our results suggest that gp49B1 expressed on hematopoietic progenitor cells supports hematopoietic and leukemia development.
