Members of the family of serine proteinase inhibitors, such as kallistatin, have been shown to inhibit canonical Wnt-TCF/LEF-β-catenin signaling via their interactions with the Wnt co-receptor LRP6. Yet the effects of transgenic overexpression of anti-Wnt serpins on hematopoiesis and lymphopoiesis are not well known. We studied the effects of human kallistatin (SERPINA4) on Wnt reporter activity in various cell types throughout the hematopoietic system and associated impacts on circulating white blood cell profiles. Transgenic overexpression of kallistatin suppressed Wnt-TCF/LEF-β-catenin signaling in bone marrow, as demonstrated using a Wnt reporter mouse. Further, kallistatin overexpression and treatment were associated with reduced Wnt-TCF/LEF-β-catenin activity in CD34+ c-kit+ bone marrow cells and CD19+ B lymphocytes, with reduced levels of these populations in bone marrow and peripheral circulation, respectively. The presence of CD3+CD4+, CD3+CD8+, and CD3- NK1.1+ T lymphocytes were not significantly affected. Our data suggest that overexpression of kallistatin interferes with lymphopoiesis, ultimately impacting the level of circulating CD19+ B lymphocytes.

D001402 B-Lymphocytes Lymphoid cells concerned with humoral immunity. They are short-lived cells resembling bursa-derived lymphocytes of birds in their production of immunoglobulin upon appropriate stimulation.

D013601 T-Lymphocytes Lymphocytes responsible for cell-mediated immunity. Two types have been identified - cytotoxic (T-LYMPHOCYTES, CYTOTOXIC) and helper T-lymphocytes (T-LYMPHOCYTES, HELPER-INDUCER). They are formed when lymphocytes circulate through the THYMUS GLAND and differentiate to thymocytes. When exposed to an antigen, they divide rapidly and produce large numbers of new T cells sensitized to that antigen.

D015703 Antigens, CD Differentiation antigens residing on mammalian leukocytes. CD stands for cluster of differentiation, which refers to groups of monoclonal antibodies that show similar reactivity with certain subpopulations of antigens of a particular lineage or differentiation stage. The subpopulations of antigens are also known by the same CD designation.

D051153 Wnt Proteins Wnt proteins are a large family of secreted glycoproteins that play essential roles in EMBRYONIC AND FETAL DEVELOPMENT, and tissue maintenance. They bind to FRIZZLED RECEPTORS and act as PARACRINE PROTEIN FACTORS to initiate a variety of SIGNAL TRANSDUCTION PATHWAYS. The canonical Wnt signaling pathway stabilizes the transcriptional coactivator BETA CATENIN.
