MM-EV effect on both HSPC cell cycle and differentiation and CD123 expression on HSCs. (A) Model of human lympho-myeloid differentiation. Stem/early progenitors include hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), multipotent progenitors (MPP), lymphoid-primed multipotent progenitor (LMPP), multi-lymphoid progenitor (MLP); late progenitors include common myeloid progenitor (CMP), megakaryocyte erythroid progenitor (MEP), granulocyte macrophage progenitor (GMP), and B/NK progenitors (B/NK prog). Arrows indicate the derivation. (B) Representative cytofluorometric dot plots of populations in HSPCs treated or not with MM-EVs for 20 h. The cell percentage of each population was reported in dot plots. (C) Percentage of CD34+, stem/early, and late progenitors after 20 h of treatment with two doses of MM-EVs (MM-EVs 200 μg, MM-EVs 400 μg). (D) Percentage of cells in G0/G1, S, and G2/M phases on CD34+, CD34+/CD38, and CD34+/CD38+ cells after treatment with two doses of MM-derived EVs. (E) Percentage of different HSPC populations after treatment with two doses of MM-EVs. (F) Percentage of CD123 expression on HSCs after treatment with two doses of MM-derived EVs. On the left representative histogram of CD123 mean fluorescence intensity (x-axis) in control (CTRL, blue) and treated HSPCs (MM-EVs 400 μg, red). The bar graphs represent the average with standard deviation from three independent experiments; * indicates p = 0.05. MM, multiple myeloma; EVs, Extracellular vesicles; HSPC, hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells.
