α1,6-Fucosyltransferase (6FucT, E.C. 2.4.1.68) is one of the enzymes involved in the synthesis of N-linked glycans of the GpIIb/IIIa complex (CD41a) which is present on megakaryocytes (MKs) and platelets. In this study, we examined 6FucT activity in ex vivo cultures of immunoselected cord blood CD34+ cells grown in a medium promoting megakaryocytopoiesis. Our results show that the activity of 6FucT increased ahead of, and thereafter concomitantly with, cells expressing the CD41a antigen. When the CD41a+ subpopulation of cells was immunoselected (using anti-CD61 i.e. anti-GpIIIa antibodies), its 6FucT activity increased proportionally to the yield of CD61+ cells. Taking into account the heavy load of 6FucT in platelets and megakaryocytes, we regard this enzyme as a candidate for the earliest marker of MK-commitment in cultured hematopoietic stem cells. Such a marker should allow an earlier detection and earlier transplantation of patients’ own, ex vivo expanded, Mk progenitors.
