Abstract
Background and Objectives
Cord blood (CB) is a rich source of  Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). Beside the advantage the main disadvantages of CB are  the limited number of stem cells and delayed engraftment. Identifying strategies to enhance expansion and maintain stemness of HSCs can improve transplant efficiency. The goal of this study was to examine different culture conditions on HOXB4, c-Myc, Nanog, Sox2  gene expression of CB-HSCs.

Materials and Methods
In this interventional study, human cord blood CD34+ HSC, were cultured in the serum-free me­dium supplemented with cytokines (TPO, FLT3L, SCF) with/without  bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) in 21% O2  and 5% O2 for 7 days. In day 7 the expression of, HOXB4, c-Myc, Nanog, Sox2  genes were evaluated by Real time PCR. The data analyzed using the ANOVA test  and Value < 0.05 were considered statistically significant.

Results
Highest rates of  HOXB4, c-Myc, Nanog, SOX2 mRNA were seen in coculture of HSC with bone marrow  MSC at 5% O2. Our findings demonstrated  statistically significant increase of expansion and stemness markers in 5% O2 tension versus 21%.

Conclusions 
Bone Marrow (BM) -MSC and 5% O2 combination enhanced stemness of HSC  and better mimicked the niche microenvironment conditions.
