Hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) surface markers improve the understanding of cell identity and function. Here, we report that human HSCs can be distinguished by their expression of the CEA Cell Adhesion Molecule 5 (CEACAM5, CD66e), which serves as a marker and a regulator of HSC function. CD66e+ cells exhibited a 5.5-fold enrichment for functional long term HSCs compared to CD66e- cells. CD66e+CD34+CD90+CD45RA- cells displayed robust multi-lineage repopulation and serial reconstitution ability in immunodeficient mice compared to CD66e-CD34+CD90+CD45RA-cells. CD66e expression also identified almost all repopulating HSCs within the CD34+CD90+CD45RA- population. Together, these results indicated that CEACAM5 is a marker that enriches functional human hematopoietic stem cells capable of long-term multi-lineage engraftment.

Multipotency of Hematopoietic Stem Cells

The hematopoietic stem cells or HSCs are multipotent, meaning they can differentiate and give rise to all blood and immune cells. HSCs are maintained in the quiescent stage until an external stimulus initiates their differentiation. The multipotent HSCs exist as two heterogeneous populations, long-term repopulating cells (LTRC) and short-term repopulating cells (STRC). The two HSC populations have different surface markers or receptors and are classified based on quiescence and long-term...

Regulation of Hematopoietic Stem Cells

All blood and immune cells are produced from the multipotent hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) by the process of hematopoiesis. However, they all have a limited life span. In addition, many are depleted in immune surveillance or combatting an injury or infection. This makes blood one of the most regenerative tissues. Hematopoiesis helps replenish these blood and immune cells, restoring the body's normal functioning. However, overproduction of blood and immune cells can make them cancerous or...
