Abstract Vitamin K2 in the form of menatetrenone has clinical benefits for osteoporosis and cytopenia. Given the dominant role of mesenchymal-osteolineage cells in the regulation of hematopoiesis, we investigated whether menatetrenone alters the hematopoiesis-supportive capability of human bone marrow mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (BM-MSCs). Menatetrenone up-regulated fibronectin protein expression in BM-MSCs without affecting their proliferation and differentiation capabilities. In addition, menatetrenone treatment of BM-MSCs enhanced generation of the C ­ D34+ cell population in co-cultures through acceleration of the cell cycle. This effect was associated with cell–cell interactions mediated by VLA-4 and fibronectin. This proposal was supported by cytokine array and quantitative real-time PCR analyses, in which there were no significant differences between the expression levels of hematopoiesis-associated soluble factors in naïve and menatetrenone-treated BM-MSCs. Profiling of hematopoietic cells in co-cultures with menatetrenone-treated BM-MSCs demonstrated that they included significantly more C ­ D34+CD38+ hematopoietic progenitor cells and cells skewed toward myeloid and megakaryocytic lineages than those in co-cultures with untreated BM-MSCs. Notably, myelodysplastic syndrome-derived cells were induced to undergo apoptosis when co-cultured with BM-MSCs, and this effect was enhanced by menatetrenone. Overall, our findings indicate that pharmacological treatment with menatetrenone bestows a unique hematopoiesis-supportive capability on BM-MSCs, which may contribute to the clinical improvement of cytopenia.
