The properties of bone marrow-derived multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) of patients with aplastic anemia at the onset of the disease are studied insufficiently. The aim of this work was to test the ability of MSC from patients with aplastic anemia to maintain hematopoietic precursors and to analyze the expression of genes associated with hematopoiesis and immune response. The ability of MSC to maintain hematopoietic precursors was determined by counting cobblestone area-forming cells; gene expression was analyzed by quantitative PCR. It was shown that MSC of patients with aplastic anemia preserve their ability to maintain hematopoietic precursors. Pronounced changes in the expression of the VEGFA and ANGPT1 genes were found. MSC from aplastic anemia patients with PNH clone significantly differ from those from aplastic anemia patients without PNH clone in terms of the expression of the SDF1, IL1R, and VEGFA genes. Changes in gene expression can be associated with the pathogenesis of the disease.
