Hox transcription factors have emerged as important regulators of primitive hematopoietic cell proliferation and differentiation. In particular, HOXB4 appears to be a strong positive regulator of hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) self-renewal. Here we demonstrate the potency of HOXB4 to enable high-level ex vivo HSC expansion. Cultures of nontransduced or GFP-transduced murine bone marrow cells experienced large HSC losses over 10-14 days. In sharp contrast, cultures of HOXB4-transduced cells achieved rapid, extensive, and highly polyclonal HSC expansions, resulting in over 1000-fold higher levels relative to controls and a 40-fold net HSC increase. Importantly, these HSCs retained full lympho-myeloid repopulating potential and enhanced in vivo regenerative potential, demonstrating the feasibility of achieving significant ex vivo expansion of HSCs without functional impairment.
