Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have been recognized as a novel way of cell-to-cell communication in the last several decades. It is believed that EVs exert their functions on nearby or distant cells through transfer of the cargo that they carry. In this review, we focus on EVs produced by endothelial cells, with emphasis on their role in hematopoiesis. We first describe how endothelial cells interact with hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells during development and in disease conditions. We then discuss EVs, ranging from their subtypes to isolation methods and analysis of EVs. With the above background information, we next review the literature related to endothelial cell derived EVs (ECEVs), including physiological functions and their clinical uses. In the last sections, we summarize the current results about the effect of ECEVs on hematopoiesis under physiological and stress conditions.
