Experiments show macrophages enhance hematopoietic stem cell activity in bone marrow, indicating roles in aging and regeneration.

This research aims to explore the role of macrophages in hematopoietic stem cell function and aging.
Investigated macrophage populations in bone marrow using CD169 and MerTK markers.
Analyzed cell behavior in vitro with endocytosis inhibitors and lactate treatment.
Measured mTOR activity and other mitochondrial parameters in CD169-/- mice.
Macrophages mediate hematopoietic stem cell trans-endocytosis via trogocytosis.
5-fluorouracil treatment revealed altered hematopoietic stem cell response in CD169-/- mice.
Aged mice showed increased hematopoietic stem cell expansion linked to macrophage activity.

Xu et al. (2025) studied this question.
