Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention provides for compositions and methods for modulating hematopoetic stem cell populations by using HCS modulators, which are agents that either increase HSC numbers or decrease HSC numbers as desired by a particular indication. For example, HSC modulators found to increase HSC numbers include prostaglandin E 2 (PGE2) and agents that stimulate the PGE2 pathway. Conversely, HSC modulators that prevent PGE2 synthesis decrease HSC numbers. HCS modulators may be used in vitro, in vivo, or ex vivo.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for promoting hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) self-renewal in a human subject in need thereof, comprising contacting a population of human HSCs ex vivo with an effective amount of 16,16-dimethyl-PGE2 to promote HSC self-renewal in the subject; and intravenously administering the contacted HSCs to the subject, wherein the population of human HSCs is autologous or allogeneic to the subject. 2. The method of claim 1 , where…
