Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are considered one of the most promising therapeutic targets for the treatment of various blood disorders. However, due to difficulties in establishing stable maintenance and expansion of HSCs in vitro, their insufficient supply is a major constraint to transplantation studies. To solve these problems we have developed a fully defined, all-recombinant protein-based culture system. Through this system, we have identified hemopexin (HPX) and interleukin-1α as responsible for HSC maintenance in vitro. Subsequent molecular analysis revealed that HPX reduces intracellular reactive oxygen species levels within cultured HSCs. Furthermore, bone marrow immunostaining and 3D immunohistochemistry revealed that HPX is expressed in non-myelinating Schwann cells, known HSC niche constituents. These results highlight the utility of this fully defined all-recombinant protein-based culture system for reproducible in vitro HSC culture and its potential to contribute to the identification of factors responsible for in vitro maintenance, expansion, and differentiation of stem cell populations. Different BSA lots alter how HSCs respond to cytokines RSA can replace BSA to provide HSC maintenance culture with minimal variability By comparing the protein profiles of “good” and “bad” BSAs, HPX was identified HPX reduces HSC intracellular reactive ROS and is expressed by BM Schwann cells In this article, Yamazaki, Nakauchi, and colleagues demonstrate that BSA batches have unique protein profiles and vary widely in their ability to maintain mouse HSCs ex vivo. By replacing BSA with recombinant serum albumin, they developed a standardized HSC culture platform that can be used to identify novel maintenance and expansion factors.
