## Abstract ## Background Hematopoietic stem‐cell‐directed gene transfer has achieved limited success in transducing clinically relevant levels of target cells. The expansion of gene‐modified cells is one way to circumvent the problem of inefficient transduction with current vectors. To this end,

Abstract
Evolving data suggest that marrow hematopoietic stem cells show reversible changes in homing, engraftment, and differentiation phenotype with cell cycle progression. Furthermore, marrow stem cells are a cycling population. Traditional concepts hold that the system is hierarchical, but the information on the lability of phenotype with cycle progression suggests a model in which stem cells are on a reversible continuum. Here we have investigated mRNA expression in murine lineage negative stem cell antigen‐1 positive stem cells of a variety of cell surface epitopes and transcription regulators associated with stem cell identity or regulation. At isolation these stem cells expressed almost all cell surface markers, and transcription factors studied, including receptors for G‐CSF, GM‐CSF, and IL‐7. When these stem cells were induced to transit cell cycle in vitro by exposure to interleukin‐3 (IL‐3), Il‐6, IL‐11, and steel factor some (CD34, CD45R c‐kit, Gata‐1, Gata‐2, Ikaros, and Fog) showed stable expression over time, despite previously documented alterations in phenotype, while others showed variation of expression between and within experiments. These latter included Sca‐1, Mac‐1, c‐fms, and c‐mpl. Tal‐1, endoglin, and CD4. These studies indicate that defined marrow stem cells express a wide variety of genes at isolation and with cytokine induced cell cycle transit show marked and reversible phenotype lability. Altogether, the phenotypic plasticity of gene expression for murine stem cells indicates a continuum model of stem cell regulation and extends the model to reversible expression with cell cycle transit of mRNA for cytokine receptors and stem cell markers.
