Pluripotent hematopoietic stem cells contain high levels of mRNA for c-kit, GATA-2, p45 NF-E2, and c-myb and low levels or no mRNA for c-fms and the receptors for granulocyte colony-stimulating factor and interleukins 5 and 7.

ABSTRACT
Pluripotent hematopoietic stem cells (PHSCs) were highly enriched from mouse bone marrow by counterflow centrifugal elutriation, lineage subtraction, and fluorescence-activated cell sorting based on high c-kit receptor expression (c-kitBR). We used reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction to assay the c-kitBR subset and the subsets expressing low (c-kitDULL) and no (c-kitNEG) c-kit receptor for expression of mRNA encoding hematopoietic growth factor receptors and transcription factors. The c-kitBR cells had approximately 3.5-fold more c-kit mRNA than unfractionated bone marrow cells. The c-kitDULL cells had 47-58% of the c-kit mRNA found in c-kitBR cells and the c-kitNEG cells had 4-9% of the c-kit mRNA present in c-kitBR cells. By comparing mRNA levels in c-kitBR cells (enriched for PHSCs) with those of unfractionated bone marrow, we demonstrated that c-kitBR cells contained low or undetectable levels of mRNA for c-fms, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor receptor, interleukin 5 receptor (IL-5R), and IL-7R. These same cells had moderate levels of mRNA for erythropoietin receptor, IL-3R subunits IL-3R alpha (SUT-1), AIC-2A, and AIC-2B, IL-6R and its partner gp-130, and the transcription factor GATA-1 and high levels of mRNA for transcription factors GATA-2, p45 NF-E2, and c-myb. We conclude from these findings that PHSCs are programmed to interact with stem cell factor, IL-3, and IL-6 but not with granulocyte or macrophage colony-stimulating factor. These findings also indicate that GATA-2, p45 NF-E2, and c-myb activities may be involved in PHSC maintenance or proliferation.
