Phc2 controls hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell mobilization from bone marrow by repressing Vcam1 expression
Abstract
Mobilization of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) into the circulation is essential for maintaining homeostasis. Here, the authors show that Phc2 in bone marrow stromal cells represses the cell adhesion molecule Vcam1 and facilitates mobilization of HSPCs through regulation of epigenetic marks.
