Abstract
Numerous publications have described the importance of Bone Morphogenetic Protein (BMP) signaling in the specification of hematopoietic tissue in developing embryos. Here we investigate the full role of canonical BMP signaling in both adult and fetal liver hematopoiesis using conditional knockout strategies, since conventional disruption of components of the BMP signaling pathway result in early death of the embryo. By targeting both Smad1 and Smad5, we have generated a double knockout mouse with complete disruption of canonical BMP signaling. Interestingly, concurrent deletion of Smad1 and Smad5 results in death due to extra-hematopoietic pathological changes in the colon. However, Smad1/5 deficient bone marrow (BM) cells can compete...

Numerous publications have described the importance of Bone Morphogenetic Protein (BMP) signaling in the specification of hematopoietic tissue in developing embryos. Here we investigate the full role of canonical BMP signaling in both adult and fetal liver hematopoiesis using conditional knockout strategies, since conventional disruption of components of the BMP signaling pathway result in early death of the embryo. By targeting both Smad1 and Smad5, we have generated a double knockout mouse with complete disruption of canonical BMP signaling. Interestingly, concurrent deletion of Smad1 and Smad5 results in death due to extra-hematopoietic pathological changes in the colon. However, Smad1/5 deficient bone marrow (BM) cells can compete normally with wild-type cells and display unaffected self-renewal and differentiation capacity when transplanted into lethally irradiated recipients. Moreover, although BMP receptor expression is increased in fetal liver, fetal liver cells deficient in both Smad1 and Smad5 remain competent to long-term reconstitute lethally irradiated recipients in a multi-lineage manner. In conclusion, canonical BMP signaling is not required to maintain either adult or fetal liver hematopoiesis, despite its crucial role in the initial patterning of hematopoiesis in early embryonic development.
