    Abstract Thrombopoietin, the primary regulator of blood platelet production, was postulated to exist in 1958, but was only proven to exist when the cDNA for the hormone was cloned in 1994. Since its initial cloning and characterization, the hormone has revealed many surprises. For example, instead of acting as the postulated differentiation factor for platelet precursors, megakaryocytes, it is the most potent stimulator of megakaryocyte progenitor expansion known. Moreover, it also stimulates the survival, and in combination with stem cell factor leads to the expansion of hematopoietic stem cells. All of these growth-promoting activities have resulted in its clinical use in patients with thrombocytopenia and aplastic anemia, although the clinical development of the native molecule illustrated that "it's not wise to mess with mother nature", as a highly engineered version of the native hormone led to autoantibody formation and severe thrombocytopenia. Finally, another unexpected finding was the role of the thrombopoietin receptor in stem cell biology, including the development of myeloproliferative neoplasms, an important disorder of hematopoietic stem cells. Overall, the past 30 years of clinical and basic research has yielded many important insights, which are reviewed in this paper.

    Abstract Megakaryocytes (MKs) are important components of the hematopoietic niche. Compared to the non-hematopoietic niche cells, MKs serving as part of the hematopoietic niche provides a mechanism for feedback regulation of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), in which HSC progeny (MKs) can modulate HSC adaptation to hematopoietic demands during both steady-state and stress hematopoiesis. MKs are often located adjacent to marrow sinusoids. Considering that most HSCs reside close to a marrow vascular sinusoid, as do MKs, the interactions between MKs and vascular endothelial cells are positioned to play important roles in modulating HSC function, and by extrapolation, might be dysregulated in various disease states. In this review, we discuss the interactions between MKs and the vascular niche in both normal and neoplastic hematopoiesis.

    Abstract Thrombopoietin was posited to exist in 1958 and cloned in 1994, and in the ensuing two decades we have learned a great deal about the physiology and pathology of the primary regulator of thrombopoiesis. This paper will review the role of the hormone and its receptor, the product of the c-Mpl proto-oncogene, in health and disease, including many unexpected effects in both normal and neoplastic hematopoiesis. Amongst these unexpected properties are a non-redundant effect on hematopoietic stem cells, a critical role in all three of the acquired, chronic myeloproliferative neoplasms, as well as both gain-of-function and loss-of-function mutations in congenital and acquired states of thrombocytopenia and thrombocythemia.

    Abstract The production of platelets is a complex process that involves hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), their differentiated progeny, the marrow microenvironment and hematopoietic cytokines. Much has been learned in the 110 years since James Homer Wright postulated that marrow megakaryocytes were responsible for blood platelet production, at a time when platelets were termed the "dust of the blood". In the 1980s a number of in vitro culture systems were developed that could produce megakaryocytes, followed by the identification of several cytokines that could stimulate the process in vitro. However, none of these cytokines produced a substantial thrombocytosis when injected into animals or people, nor were blood levels inversely related to platelet count, the sine qua non of a physiological regulator. A major milestone in our understanding of thrombopoiesis occurred in 1994 when thrombopoietin, the primary regulator of platelet production was cloned and initially characterized. Since that time many of the molecular mechanisms of thrombopoiesis have been identified, including the effects of thrombopoietin on the survival, proliferation, and differentiation of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells, the development of polyploidy and proplatelet formation, the final fragmentation of megakaryocyte cytoplasm to yield blood platelets, and the regulation of this process. While much progress has been made, several outstanding questions remain, such as the nature of the signals for final platelet formation, the molecular nature of the regulation of marrow stromal thrombopoietin production, and the role of these physiological processes in malignant hematopoiesis.

    Abstract Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) rely on instructive cues from the marrow microenvironment for their maintenance and function. Accumulating evidence indicates that the survival and proliferation of hematopoietic neoplasms are dependent not only on cell-intrinsic, genetic mutations, and other molecular alterations present within neoplastic stem cells, but also on the ability of the surrounding microenvironmental cells to nurture and promote the malignancy. It is anticipated that a better understanding of the molecular and cellular events responsible for these microenvironmental features of neoplastic hematopoiesis will lead to improved treatment for patients. This review will focus on the myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs), polycythemia vera (PV), essential thrombocythemia (ET), and primary myelofibrosis (PMF), in which an acquired signaling kinase mutation (JAK2V617F) plays a central, pathogenetic role in 50-100% of patients with these disorders. Evidence is presented that the development of an MPN requires both an abnormal, mutation-bearing (i.e., neoplastic) HSC and an abnormal, mutation-bearing microenvironment.
