An important factor contributing to hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) mobilization is the ability of mobilizing cytokines and chemotherapy to disturb the cellular components of HSC niches, particularly osteoblasts and their progenitors, and to inhibit the production of HSC supportive cytokines and chemokines. Although the mechanisms by which niche cells are inhibited by mobilizing treatments is still incompletely understood, it has recently emerged that bone marrow macrophages play a critical role in maintaining osteoblasts, bone formation, and the expression of CXCL12, KIT ligand, and angiopoietin-1 necessary to HSC maintenance. In this chapter, we describe how to mobilize HSC into the blood in mice by depleting macrophages with clodronate-loaded liposomes and compare this mode of mobilization to mobilization induced by granulocyte colony-stimulating factor and cyclophosphamide. Detailed methods to analyze mobilization of phenotypic and functional reconstituting HSC are described with examples.
