To discover small molecules that modulate hematopoietic cell homing after adoptive transfer, we created a transgenic zebrafish expressing firefly luciferase downstream of the ubiquitin promoter (ubi:luc) to serve as a hematopoietic donor. Bioluminescence imaging (BLI) was used to detect and follow ubi:luc hematopoietic cells that homed to the marrow as early as 1 day post-transplant. BLI was able to detect the biological effect of prostaglandin E2 on early homing/engraftment of donor hematopoietic cells. This system was utilized in a functional screen of small molecules to enhance homing/engraftment. We discovered a phytosterol, ergosterol, that could increase hematopoietic cell homing in zebrafish and mice. In addition, ergosterol increased CXCR4 expression and promoted expansion of Lin−SCA-1+KIT+ cells in vitro. We have demonstrated the utility of in vivo BLI to non-invasively monitor donor hematopoietic cell activity in adult zebrafish as a functional screen for mediators of cellular homing. Bioluminescent imaging (BLI) can track engrafting hematopoietic cells BLI can be used for screening of enhancers of hematopoietic cell homing Using BLI, ergosterol was found to increase hematopoietic cell homing Ergosterol affects hematopoietic progenitor migration, growth, and viability in vitro Accelerating cell homing after adoptive transfer may expediate recovery after hematopoietic transplant. Lund and colleagues developed a novel zebrafish model utilizing bioluminescent imaging to track hematopoietic cell homing, thus allowing for a functional screening approach of small molecule libraries.
