Abstract

Umbilical cord blood (UCB) is becoming an alternative cell source for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). However, umbilical cord blood transplantation (UCBT) has been severely limited by low and finite numbers of hematopoietic stem cells and their delayed engraftment. New strategies are needed to improve ex vivo expansion efficiency and in vivo haematopoietic recovery. We produced an endothelium-targeted soluble Notch ligand, the Delta-Serrate-Lag-2 (DSL) domain of human Delta-like 1 fused with a RGD motif (hD1R), and tested the effects of this protein on human umbilical cord blood hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell (UCB-HSPC) ex vivo and in vivo. hD1R-mediated ex vivo expansion system was able to significantly increase the absolute number of UCB-HSPCs. The hD1R-expanded cells had the enhanced homing and maintained long-term hematopoietic stem cell repopulation capacity in the bone marrow of immunodeficient nonobese diabetic-severe combined immunodeficient (NOD/SCID) mice. Moreover, systemic administration of hD1R promoted the in vivo regeneration of donor cells in recipient mice and accelerated hematopoietic recovery, particularly in settings wherein the HSPCs dose was limiting. Our results indicated that hD1R might be applied in improving hematopoietic recovery and HSC engraftment in human UCBT.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 16 January 2016.
All research outputs
#14,243,953
of 22,837,982 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Translational Medicine
#1,783
of 3,995 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#205,788
of 393,663 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Translational Medicine
#27
of 75 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,837,982 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 35th percentile – i.e., 35% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,995 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 10.5. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 50% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 393,663 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 45th percentile – i.e., 45% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 75 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 49th percentile – i.e., 49% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
