The Stro-1 antigen potentially defines a mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) progenitor subset. We here report on the role of human ex vivo-expanded selected Stro-1(+) or Stro-1(-) MSC subsets on the engraftment of human CD34(+) cord blood cells in the nonobese diabetic/severe combined immunodeficiency (NOD/SCID) mouse model. The data show that cotransplantation of expanded Stro-1- cells with CD34+ cells resulted in a significant increase of human CD45, CD34, CD19, and CD11b cells detected in blood or in bone marrow (BM) and spleen as compared with the infusion of CD34(+) cells alone. Infusion into mice of expanded Stro-1(+) and Stro-1(-) cells (without CD34(+) cells) showed that the numbers of Stro-1(+) -derived (as assessed by DNA analysis of human beta-globin with quantitative polymerase chain reaction [PCR]) were higher than Stro-1(-)-derived cells in spleen, muscles, BM, and kidneys, while more Stro-1(-)-derived than Stro-1(+)-derived cells were found in lungs. The transduction of expanded Stro-1(+) cells with an enhanced green fluorescent protein (eGFP) gene did not modify their cytokine release and their homing in NOD/ SCID mouse tissues. The difference between the hematopoietic support and the homing capabilities of expanded Stro-1(+) and Stro-1(-) cells may be of importance for clinical therapeutic applications: Stro-1(+) cells may rather be used for gene delivery in tissues while Stro-1(-) cells may rather be used to support hematopoietic engraftment.
