Oxygen tension plays a critical role in the hematopoietic microenvironment in vitro.

Jing D, Wobus M, Poitz DM, Bornhäuser M, Ehninger G, Ordemann R

In the bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells and osteoblasts form functional niches for hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells. This microenvironment can be partially mimicked using in vitro co-culture systems. In this study, we examined the oxygen tension in three distinct compartments in a co-culture system of purified CD34(+) cells and mesenchymal stromal cells with regard to different spatial localizations.
