Abstract
Within the heterogenous pool of bone marrow stromal cells, mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are of particular interest because of their hematopoiesis-supporting capacities, contribution to disease progression, therapy resistance, and leukemic initiation. Cultured bone marrow-derived stromal cells (cBMSCs) are used for in vitro modeling of hematopoiesis–stroma interactions, validation of disease mechanisms, and screening for therapeutic targets. Here, we place cBMSCs (mouse and human) in a bone marrow tissue context by systematically comparing the transcriptome of plastic-adherent cells on a single-cell level with in vivo counterparts. Cultured BMSCs encompass a rather homogenous cell population, independent of the isolation method used and, although still possessing hematopoiesis-supporting capacity, are distinct from freshly isolated MSCs and more akin to in vivo fibroblast populations.
