The Wnt family of secreted glycoproteins has been implicated in many aspects of development, but its contribution to blood cell formation is controversial. We over-expressed Wnt3a, Wnt5a and Dkk1 in stromal cells from osteopetrotic mice and used them in co-culture experiments with highly enriched stem and progenitor cells. The objective was to learn if and how particular stages of B lymphopoiesis are responsive to these Wnt family ligands. We found that canonical Wnt signaling, through Wnt3a, inhibited B and pDC but not cDC development. Wnt5a, which can oppose canonical signaling or act through a different pathway, increased B lymphopoiesis. Responsiveness to both Wnt ligands diminished with time in culture and stage of development. That is, only hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and very primitive progenitors were affected. While Wnt3a promoted retention of HSC markers, cell yields and dye dilution experiments indicated it was not a growth stimulus. Other results suggest that lineage instability results from canonical Wnt signaling. Lymphoid progenitors rapidly down-regulated RAG-1 and some acquired stem cell staining characteristics as well as myeloid and erythroid potential when exposed to Wnt3a producing stromal cells. We conclude that at least two Wnt ligands can differentially regulate early events in B lymphopoiesis, affecting entry and progression in distinct differentiation lineages.
