An additional transgenic model is presented that demonstrates the role of osteoblasts as key regulatory cells.

These studies implicate the importance of the Wnt signaling pathway in stem cell self-renewal. They also provide evidence of a molecular network involving the activation of Notch and HoxB4 when Wnt is constitutively signaling.

These are the first studies to investigate the molecular cross-talk that occurs between cell types present in the hematopoietic microenvironment. Genomewide microarray expression profiling was used effectively to dissect the microenvironmental cross-talk. The authors provide further evidence for the importance of Notch signaling in hematopoiesis.

A signal sequence trap methodology was used to isolate secreted and membrane molecules from the OP9 stromal cell line. A novel type 1a membrane protein, mkirre, was isolated and shown to support hematopoietic stem cells. This study validates genomic screening methodologies to discover novel regulators.

A transgenic model is used to ablate osteoblasts specifically, causing a dysregulation of hematopoiesis in the marrow but a concordant rise in extramedullary hematopoiesis. This is an inverse but complementary approach to the models used by others [29••,30••] to demonstrate the importance of osteoblasts in the stem cell niche.

The study demonstrates of expansion of repopulating stem cells with only Wnt 3a protein and minimal amounts of stem cell factor.
