Abstract We show a dramatic downregulation of the stem cell factor (SCF) receptor in different hematopoietic cell lines by murine stroma. Growth of the human erythroid/macrophage progenitor cell line TF-1 is dependent on granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) or interleukin-3 (IL-3). However, TF-1 cells clone and proliferate equally well on stroma. Independent stroma-dependent TF-1 clones (TF-1S) were generated on MS-5 stroma. Growth of TF-1S and TF-1 cells on stroma still requires interaction between c-kit (SCF receptor) and its ligand SCF, because antibodies against c-kit inhibit growth to less than 2%. Surprisingly, c-kit receptor expression (RNA and protein) was downregulated by 2 to 3 orders of magnitude in TF-1S and TF-1 cells grown on stroma. This stroma-dependent regulation of the kit receptor in TF-1 was also observed on exposure to kit ligand-negative stroma, thus indicating the need for heterologous receptor ligand interaction. Removal of stroma induced upregulation by 2 to 4 orders of magnitude. Downregulation and upregulation of c-kit expression could also be shown for the megakaryocytic progenitor cell line M-07e and was comparable to that of TF-1, indicating that stroma-dependent regulation of c-kit is a general mechanism. Downregulation may be an economic way to compensate for the increased sensitivity of the c-kit/ligand interaction on stroma. The stroma-dependent c-kit regulation most likely occurs at the transcriptional level, because mechanisms, such as splicing, attenuation, differential promoter usage, or mRNA stability, could be excluded.
