Basic fibroblast growth factor stimulates myelopoiesis in long-term human bone marrow cultures 总被引:3,自引:1,他引:3
We previously showed that basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) is a potent mitogen for human bone marrow (BM) stromal cells and significantly delays their senescence. In the present study, we demonstrated that low concentrations of bFGF (0.2 to 2 ng/mL) enhance myelopoiesis in long-term human BM culture. Addition of bFGF to long-term BM cultures resulted in an increase in (a) the number of nonadherent cells (sixfold), particularly those of the neutrophil granulocyte series; (b) the number of nonadherent granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF)- and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF)-responsive progenitor cells; (c) the number of adherent foci of hematopoietic cells (10-fold); and (d) the number of progenitor cells in the adherent stromal cell layer. These effects were not noted with higher concentrations of bFGF (20 ng/mL). Thus, low concentrations of bFGF effectively augment myelopoiesis in human long-term BM cultures, and bFGF may therefore be a regulator of the hematopoietic system in vitro and in vivo. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To investigate further the cellular defect responsible for impaired granulopoiesis in severe congenital neutropenia (SCN), we have evaluated bone marrow (BM) stem cell reserve and function and BM stromal cell myelopoiesis supporting capacity in two patients with SCN. METHODS: BM primitive stem cells and myeloid progenitor cells were assessed using flow cytometry, limiting dilution assay, clonogenic assays, and long-term BM cultures (LTBMC). BM stroma function was assessed by evaluating the ability of irradiated stromal layers from the patients to induce granulocyte-macrophage colony formation (CFU-GM) by normal CD34+ cells. RESULTS: Compared to the normal controls (n = 37), SCN patients displayed a low percentage of CD34+/CD38+ cells (P < 0.05), low CFU-GM colony formation by highly purified CD34+ cells (P < 0.05), low CFU-GM recovery in LTBMC (P < 0.05), and normal primitive stem cells as indicated by the frequency of CD34+/CD38- cells and the number of long-term culture initiating cells. Patient BM stromal layers exhibited normal myelopoiesis supporting capacity as shown by the CFU-GM content of irradiated LTBMC recharged with normal CD34+ cells. In addition, patient LTBMC supernatants displayed 20-fold normal granulocyte colony stimulating factor and 2-fold normal granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor levels. CONCLUSION: These data show that primitive BM stem cells and stromal cells are not affected in SCN patients, while they support further the concept of a primary defect at the myeloid progenitor cell level. To know the differentiation stage at which the underlying defect causes the malfunction will be relevant for further elucidation of its nature at the molecular level. 相似文献

To probe the pathophysiologic mechanisms underlying neutropenia in patients with chronic idiopathic neutropenia (CIN) with hypoplastic and left-shifted granulocytic series in the bone marrow (BM), we have studied granulocytopoiesis in 32 adults with CIN by evaluating the number and survival characteristics of cells in several stages of granulocyte differentiation using flow cytometry and BM culture assays. We found that patients with CIN displayed a low percentage of CD34(+)/CD33(+) cells, defective granulocyte colony-forming unit (CFU-G) growth potential of BM mononuclear or purified CD34(+) cells, and low CFU-G recovery in long-term BM cultures (LTBMCs), compared with controls (n = 46). A low percentage of CD34(+)/CD33(+) cells in patients was associated with accelerated apoptosis and Fas overexpression within this cell compartment compared with controls. No significant difference was documented in the percentage of apoptotic cells or the Fas(+) cells within the fractionated CD34(+)/CD33(-), CD34(-)/CD33(+), and CD34(-)/CD33(-)/CD15(+) BM subpopulations or the peripheral blood neutrophils, suggesting that the underlying cellular defect in CIN probably concerns the committed granulocyte progenitors. LTBMC stromal layers from patients produced abnormally high amounts of tumor necrosis factor alpha and cytokine levels in culture supernatants inversely correlated with the number of myeloid progenitor cells and positively with the proportion of apoptotic CD34(+) cells. Patient LTBMC stromal layers displayed pathologic interferon gamma and Fas-ligand mRNA expression and failed to support normal myelopoiesis. These data suggest that impaired granulocytopoiesis in CIN is probably due to overproduction of inflammatory cytokines by immune cells within the BM microenvironment that may exert an inhibitory effect on myelopoiesis by inducing Fas-mediated apoptosis in the granulocyte progenitors. 相似文献

Basic fibroblast growth factor is expressed by CD19/CD11c-positive cells in hairy cell leukemia. 总被引:10,自引:4,他引:6
Several features are characteristic for hairy cell leukemia (HCL). Among those are pancytopenia, bone marrow fibrosis, and the appearance of a defined tumor cell phenotype in peripheral blood (PB), bone marrow (BM), and spleen. Hairy cells (HC) coexpress antigens specific for B lymphocytes and monocytes/macrophages and thus the malignant cell does not seem to be restricted to a defined lineage. When serum or bone marrow aspirate was screened by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), specimen derived from HCL (serum: mean value, 29 pg/mL; BM aspirate: mean value, 641 pg/mL) contained significantly higher levels than those from healthy subjects. To study whether peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) derived from patients suffering from HCL and healthy donors (HD) were capable of producing bFGF, culture supernatant (conditioned medium, [CM]) was tested for the presence of this cytokine. While bFGF was not detectable in cell cultures from HD, HCL-derived CM contained relatively high levels of bFGF. CM was successfully used for stimulation of mesenchymal cell proliferation, which could be inhibited by a neutralizing anti-bFGF antibody. Cellular activation by pokeweed mitogen (PWM) or the combination of 12-o-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate (TPA) plus calcium ionophore (Ca-Ip) led to an enhanced mRNA expression. Results of Western blot experiments showed that HC synthesize at least three isoforms (approximately 18, 23, and 25 kD), but only the 23-kD isoform is exported. To assess the nature of the producer cell, double immunofluorescence analysis using a bFGF-specific and an anti-CD11c monoclonal antibody (MoAb) was undertaken. The majority of cells scoring positive for CD11c were also reactive with the anti-bFGF MoAb. Furthermore, enrichment of CD19/CD11c-positive cells correlated with enhanced bFGF levels, thereby supporting the argument for HC being the producer cells of bFGF. A biological function of bFGF in HCL might be mediation of chemoresistance, as 2-chlorodeoxyadenosine (2-CdA)-induced inhibition of cell proliferation can be reversed by bFGF. Endogenous bFGF production by HC is not affected by this purine analogue and 2-CdA-induced apoptosis is diminished in bFGF-producing HC as compared with normal PBMC. Therefore, bFGF expression by HC might be important for resistance to chemotherapy and survival of the malignant cells. 相似文献

Basic fibroblast growth factor promotes the proliferation of human megakaryocyte progenitor cells 总被引:4,自引:1,他引:4
Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), a multifunctional growth factor produced by bone marrow stromal cells, is known to be a potent modulator of hematopoiesis. Because bFGF is present in both human megakaryocytes (MKs) and platelets, we have hypothesized that this growth factor might affect human megakaryocytopoiesis. To test this hypothesis, either low density bone marrow (BM) cells (LDBM), a human BM subpopulation (CD34+ DR+) enriched for the colony-forming unit megakaryocyte (CFU-MK) or a BM subpopulation (CD34+ DR-) enriched for the more primitive burst-forming unit megakaryocyte (BFU-MK) were assayed in the presence of this growth factor. The effect of bFGF on MK colony formation differed according to the cell population assayed. bFGF alone had on MK colony-stimulating activity (MK-CSA) when either CD34+ DR+ or CD34+ DR- BM cells were cloned, but exhibited MK-CSA equivalent to that of interleukin-3 (IL-3) when LDBM cells were used as the target cell population. The MK-CSA of bFGF was inhibited by the addition of neutralizing antisera to either IL-3 and/or granulocyte- macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) but not IL-6. The addition of excess amounts of either IL-3 or GM-CSF to cultures containing bFGF plus anti-IL-3 or anti-GM-CSF reversed the inhibition by the corresponding antisera. The addition of bFGF and IL-3 to assays containing CD34+ DR+ or CD34+ DR- cells increased the size of both CFU- MK- and BFU-MK-derived colonies, respectively, when compared with assays containing IL-3 alone. This increase in MK colony size mediated by bFGF was not affected by addition of either an anti-GM-CSF or anti- IL-6 neutralizing antisera. When LDBM cells were assayed, bFGF alone increased CFU-MK-derived colony size when compared with control values. However, this potentiation of MK colony size by bFGF could be reversed by the addition of either anti-IL-3 or anti-GM-CSF but not anti-IL-6 antisera. In addition, the effects of bFGF and IL-3 on the size of MK colonies cloned from LDBM were not additive. These results suggest that bFGF affects human megakaryocytopoiesis by directly promoting MK progenitor cell proliferation and stimulating BM accessory cells to release growth factor(s) with MK-CSA, such as IL-3 and GM-CSF. We conclude that bFGF, likely produced by cellular components of the BM microenvironment, plays an important role in the control of human megakaryocytopoiesis. 相似文献

Extracellular matrix production by the adherent cells of long-term murine bone marrow cultures 总被引:19,自引:2,他引:19
We have studied the deposition of extracellular matrix proteins in the adherent stroma of long-term murine bone marrow cultures. Stable hematopoiesis was maintained for greater than 12 wk. At selected intervals, culture dishes were sacrificed by removing all nonadherent cells and air drying the dishes. The adherent stromal layer was analyzed for the presence of intracellular and extracellular collagen, fibronectin, and laminin using double immunofluorescent staining with specific antisera against these matrix components. In cultures examined during the first 2 wk, large numbers of stromal cells contained collagen, fibronectin, and laminin. Over the next 2 wk, an extensive extracellular network of fibronectin, laminin, and collagen was deposited on the dishes, which persisted throughout the life of the cultures. In contrast to a previous report, we detected substantial numbers of endothelial cells by means of immunofluorescent staining of stromal cells with antisera to type IV collagen, laminin, and factor VIII antigen. Although deposition of these extracellular matrix proteins coincides with onset of active hematopoietic cell production, the relative roles of the stromal cells and the extracellular matrix in supporting hematopoiesis in murine bone marrow cell cultures remain to be determined. 相似文献

Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) is a hematopoietic cytokine that stimulates stromal and stem cell growth. It binds to a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored heparan sulfate proteoglycan on human bone marrow (BM) stromal cells. The bFGF- proteoglycan complex is biologically active and is released by addition of exogenous phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C. In this study, we show the presence of an endogenous GPI-specific phospholipase D (GPI-PLD) that releases the bFGF-binding heparan sulfate proteoglycan and the variant surface glycoprotein (a model GPI-anchored protein) from BM cultures. An involvement of proteases in this process is unlikely, because released proteoglycan contained the GPI anchor component, ethanol-amine, and protease inhibitors did not diminish the release. The mechanism of release is likely to involve a GPI-PLD and not a GPI-specific phospholipase C, because the release of variant surface glycoprotein did not reveal an epitope called the cross- reacting determinant that is exposed by phospholipase C-catalyzed GPI anchor cleavage. In addition, phosphatidic acid (which is specifically a product of GPI-PLD-catalyzed anchor cleavage) was generated during the spontaneous release of the GPI-anchored variant surface glycoprotein. We also detected GPI-PLD-specific enzyme activity and mRNA in BM cells. Therefore, we conclude that an endogenous GPI-PLD releases bFGF-heparan sulfate proteoglycan complexes from human BM cultures. This mechanism of GPI anchor cleavage could be relevant for mobilizing biologically active bFGF in BM. An endogenous GPI-PLD could also release other GPI-anchored proteins important for hematopoiesis and other physiologic processes. 相似文献

Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) may act to modulate hematopoiesis in addition to its effects on mesenchymal cells. We studied the effects of bFGF on human and murine primary marrow megakaryocytes. bFGF modestly enhanced the size of the human megakaryocyte colony-forming unit (CFU-MK) and cell numbers per colony, in combination with interleukin-3 (IL-3) or granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF). Adhesion of human megakaryocytes to bone marrow (BM) stromal fibroblasts was enhanced when either stromal fibroblasts or megakaryocytes were treated with bFGF. This resulted in significantly increased proliferation of megakaryocytes. In addition, bFGF augmented secretion of the cytokines tumor necrosis factor alpha and IL-6 by human primary BM megakaryocytes. Immature murine megakaryocytes showed a significant growth response to bFGF as measured by the single cell growth assay. This effect was abrogated by specific antibodies for bFGF and combination of anti-IL-6 and anti-IL-1 beta antibodies. bFGF has no effect on murine CFU-MK formation, but significantly potentiated CFU-MK formation in the presence of IL-3 or GM-CSF. These results indicate that the effect of bFGF on various megakaryocyte populations is different and that bFGF may affect megakaryocytopoiesis via modulation of megakaryocyte-stromal interactions and via augmentation of cytokine secretion from megakaryocytes. 相似文献

Fibronectin is a major component of the extracellular matrix of adherent layers of human long-term marrow cultures where it may stabilize the extracellular matrix network and provide adhesion sites for primitive hemopoietic cells. This study was devised to analyze the role of adherent cell populations in fibronectin synthesis, matrix assembly, and degradation. In cultures performed under the conditions described by Gartner and Kaplan, immunoprecipitation after metabolic labeling showed that adherent cells synthesized a fibronectin variant comprising the EDa domain and lacking the EDb one. Vascular smooth muscle-like stromal cells were the cell subset responsible for this synthesis. Once synthesized by stromal cells, EDa+fibronectin was secreted into the supernatant and incorporated into the extracellular matrix. The cumulation in the extracellular matrix was predominant by weeks 5 and 6 of culture, when a decrease in the stromal cell intracytoplasmic content of fibronectin was observed. Stromal cells from a transformed cell line, L2Ori-, were also able to synthesize the EDa+fibronectin variant, although for these cells the assembly into the extracellular matrix was partly impaired. Besides stromal cells, other cell types participated in fibronectin synthesis: early-adhering granulomonocytic cells and macrophages appearing later in culture were able to synthesize an EDa-, EDb- fibronectin variant, clearly distinct from the EDa+ variant produced by stromal cells. Studies on cultures in which macrophage growth was stimulated at the expense of stromal cells by adding granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (50 ng/mL) to the culture medium showed a striking decrease in amounts of fibronectin measured in the adherent layer. This decrease was caused by a lack of incorporation of fibronectin in the extracellular matrix, disclosing a major difference between stromal cells and macrophages in terms of matrix assembly. This study confirms the similarity between stromal cells and vascular smooth muscle cells, because in vivo subendothelial intimal aortic smooth muscle cells and cultured smooth muscle cells from the aortic media express the EDa+, EDb- fibronectin variant. Furthermore, our results suggest that the level of fibronectin in adherent layers is regulated by stromal cells and macrophages. The balance between these two cell populations may therefore be crucial for the local control of hemopoiesis by regulating the extracellular fibronectin available for the adhesion of hematopoietic cells. Our data indicate that it may be essential to study the adhesion of stem cells to EDa+, EDb- fibronectin instead of EDa-, EDb- soluble fibronectin, as found in human plasma. 相似文献

We have verified the hypothesis that multiple myeloma (MM) may be disseminated by circulating clonogenic cells that selectively home to the bone marrow (BM) to receive the signal(s) leading to proliferation, terminal differentiation, and production of the osteoclast activating factors. Long-term cultures of stromal cells have been developed from the BM of nine patients with MM. These cells were mostly fibroblast-like elements, interspersed with a proportion of scattered macrophages and rare osteoclasts. BM stromal cells were CD54+, produced high levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and measurable amounts of IL-1 beta, and were used as feeder layers for autologous peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). After 3 weeks of cocultures, monoclonal B lymphocytes and plasma cells, derived from PBMC, developed and the number of osteoclasts significantly increased. Both populations grew tightly adherent to the stromal cell layer and their expansion was matched by a sharp increase of IL-6 and by the appearance of IL-3 in the culture supernatant. These data attribute to BM stromal cells a critical role in supporting the growth of B lymphocytes, plasma cells, and osteoclasts and the in vivo dissemination of MM. 相似文献

Hemopoiesis in long-term bone marrow cultures (LTBMC) is dependent on adherent stromal cells that form an in vitro hemopoietic microenvironment. Myeloid bone marrow cultures (MBMC) are optimal for myelopoiesis, while lymphoid bone marrow cultures (LBMC) only support B lymphopoiesis. The experiments reported here have made a comparative analysis of the two cultures to determine whether the stromal cells that establish in vitro are restricted to the support of myelopoiesis or lymphopoiesis, respectively, and to examine how the different culture conditions affect stromal cell physiology. In order to facilitate this analysis, purified populations of MBMC and LBMC stroma were prepared by treating the LTBMC with the antibiotic mycophenolic acid; this results in the elimination of hemopoietic cells while retaining purified populations of functional stroma. Stromal cell cultures prepared and maintained under MBMC conditions secreted myeloid growth factors that stimulated the growth of granulocyte-macrophage colonies, while no such activity was detected from purified LBMC stromal cultures. However, this was not due to the inability of LBMC stroma to mediate this function. Transfer of LBMC stromal cultures to MBMC conditions resulted in an induction of myeloid growth factor secretion. When seeded under these conditions with stromal cell- depleted populations of hemopoietic cells, obtained by passing marrow through nylon wool columns, the LBMC stromal cells could support long- term myelopoiesis. Conversely, transfer of MBMC stroma to LBMC conditions resulted in a cessation of myeloid growth factor secretion; on seeding these cultures with nylon wool-passed marrow, B lymphopoiesis, but not myelopoiesis, initiated. These findings indicate that the stroma in the different LTBMC are not restricted in their hemopoietic support capacity but are sensitive to culture conditions in a manner that may affect the type of microenvironment formed. 相似文献

Basic fibroblast growth factor counteracts the suppressive effect of transforming growth factor-beta 1 on human myeloid progenitor cells 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
We have previously shown that basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) is mitogenic for human bone marrow stromal cells and enhances myelopoiesis in human long-term bone marrow culture. In the present study, we examined the mechanism by which bFGF enhances granulopoiesis. We observed that bFGF significantly abrogated the inhibitory effect of transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-beta 1) on granulocyte- macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF)-supported progenitor cell growth (P = .009). The partial reversal of TGF-beta 1-mediated suppression was dependent on the dose of bFGF used. In addition, we noted that the inclusion of neutralizing antibody to TGF-beta 1 significantly augmented the clonogenic response to GM-CSF. We have also shown that 10 ng/mL or 100 ng/mL of bFGF resulted in a 30% to 100% increase in GM-CSF-mediated progenitor cell growth (P = .0001). These data suggest that bFGF may enhance myelopoiesis by modulating the inhibitory response to TGF-beta 1. 相似文献

Differentiation of early plasma cells on bone marrow stromal cells requires interleukin-6 for escaping from apoptosis 总被引:10,自引:11,他引:10
The bone marrow (BM) is well known to be the major site of Ig production in secondary immune responses; thus, the microenvironment of BM is considered to be essential for final differentiation of plasma cells. We identified in the peripheral blood (PB) early plasma cells (CD38++CD19+VLA-5-) committed to entering the BM. The sorted early plasma cells rapidly entered apoptosis in vitro, but these cells could survive and further differentiate into mature plasma cells (CD38 CD19+) just as BM plasma cells in the presence of a BM-derived stromal cell line (KM-102). Culture supernatants of KM-102 cell lines could also support survival of these cells, and antibody to interleukin-6 (IL-6) completely blocked the effect of these supernatants. Furthermore, recombinant IL-6, but not IL-1 or IL-3, could support their survival and their differentiation into mature plasma cells (CD38 CD19+VLA-5+) with expression of VLA-5 mRNA. Therefore, here is direct evidence that early plasma cells found in the PB differentiated into mature plasma cells with stromal cell-derived IL-6 in vitro; thus, BM stromal cells control the final checkpoint of plasma cell differentiation with secretion of IL-6 in the BM. 相似文献

The concentration of IgG and IgA was measured in the supernatants of peripheral blood mononuclear cells and of cells harvested from the intestinal lamina propria, which were cultured in vitro in the presence or absence of mitogens. The lamina propria mononuclear cells were harvested by collagenase digestion of macroscopically normal mucosa from 10 fresh surgical resections for carcinoma. Secretion of IgA in cultures of unstimulated lamina propria mononuclear cells greatly exceeded that of IgG. The addition of pokeweed mitogen increased Ig secretion by cultures of peripheral blood mononuclear cells but decreased Ig secretion by lamina propria mononuclear cells. The addition of concanavalin A suppressed Ig synthesis by pokeweed mitogen stimulated cells more in cultures of peripheral blood mononuclear cells than in lamina propria mononuclear cells. Cycloheximide inhibited Ig secretion by more than 90% in cultures of peripheral blood mononuclear cells, but there was less inhibition in cultures of lamina propria mononuclear cells. In the four unstimulated cultures of lamina propria mononuclear cells examined, over 75% of the Ig was secreted in the first three to four days of culture. The results indicate that lamina propria mononuclear cells are refractory to the inductive and suppressive signals of mitogens, and represent an activated cell population which is committed to Ig secretion before being cultured. 相似文献

Thrombocytopenia is well known to be one of the clinical manifestations of chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD). However, there exist cases in which the cause of thrombocytopenia has been unexplained. Recently, thrombopoietin (TPO) from bone marrow (BM) stromal cells and transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta from platelets and megakaryocytes have been identified as strong positive and negative regulators of megakaryopoiesis in vivo. We hypothesized that the decreased TPO production from BM could be one of the causes of thrombocytopenia in the patients with cGVHD. In the present study, therefore, TPO and TGF-beta concentrations in peripheral blood (PB) and BM were measured serially in two patients with acute leukemia who had received fully matched stem cell transplantation from relatives and subsequently developed extensive cGVHD with thrombocytopenia. The results showed that platelet numbers correlated well with the TPO concentrations, which were consistently higher in BM than in PB. The difference in TPO concentrations between BM and PB was decreased when the platelet levels were low, indicating that the amount of TPO production from BM decreased throughout the duration of thrombocytopenia. TGF-beta concentrations were normal during all periods in which measurements were carried out. Thus, our results suggest that one mechanism of thrombocytopenia in patients with cGVHD is low TPO production by BM cells. 相似文献

Murine endothelial cells support fetal liver erythropoiesis and myelopoiesis via distinct interactions 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Endothelial cells are an important component of the haemopoietic microenvironment. To investigate how endothelial cells are involved in haemopoiesis, two established murine endothelial cell lines were assayed in stromal cultures with fetal liver haemopoietic cells. Both endothelial cell lines allowed for the proliferation and differentiation of erythroid and monocyte-macrophage precursors, suggesting that support for haemopoiesis is a general property of endothelial cells.
Erythropoiesis was dependent on the addition of erythropoietin (Epo), whereas myelopoiesis was independent of added Epo. Haemopoietic colonies developed in close contact with the endothelial cells. Erythroid colonies did not develop when transwell filters were used between the stroma and haemopoietic cells, or when conditioned medium was used in place of stromal cells. In contrast, monocyte-macrophage colonies formed in the presence of transwell filters or conditioned medium. Thus close cell contact is necessary for erythropoiesis but not myelopoiesis under these conditions. These results suggest that different molecular mechanisms are used by endothelial cells to support erythroid development and myeloid development in the mouse fetal liver. 相似文献

Cotransplantation of human mesenchymal stem cells enhances human myelopoiesis and megakaryocytopoiesis in NOD/SCID mice 总被引:32,自引:0,他引:32

OBJECTIVE: For approximately 5% of autologous transplant recipients and a higher proportion of allogeneic transplant recipients, low level and delayed platelet engraftment is an ongoing problem. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC), which can be derived from bone marrow as well as other organs, are capable of differentiation into multiple cell types and also support hematopoiesis in vitro. Because cotransplantation of marrow-derived stromal cells has been shown to enhance engraftment of human hematopoietic stem cells, we hypothesized that cotransplantation of MSC could enhance platelet and myeloid cell development. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We tested this hypothesis by transplantation of CD34-selected mobilized human peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) into sublethally irradiated NOD/SCID mice with or without culture-expanded human MSC and evaluated human myeloid, lymphoid, and megakaryocytic engraftment with flow cytometry and in vitro cultures. RESULTS: We find that MSC cotransplantation enhances human cell engraftment when a limiting dose (<1 x 10(6)) of CD34 cells is administered. This enhancement is characterized by a shift in the differentiation of human cells from predominantly B lymphocytes to predominantly CD13(+), CD14(+), and CD33(+) myeloid cells with a corresponding increase in myeloid CFU in the marrow. Megakaryocytopoiesis is enhanced by MSC cotransplantation as assessed by an increase in both marrow CFU-MK and circulating human platelets. In contrast, MSC do not affect the percentage of human bone marrow cells that expresses CD34(+). CONCLUSIONS: Cotransplantation of human mesenchymal stem cells with CD34(+)-selected hematopoietic stem cells enhances myelopoiesis and megakaryocytopoiesis. 相似文献

We investigated the expression of CD44 molecule on CD34+ hematopoietic progenitor cells. Significantly lower expression of CD44 was observed on bone marrow (BM) CD34+ cells compared with circulating CD34+ cells in cord blood and peripheral blood. Using fluorescence-activated cell sorting, human CD34+ BM cells were fractionated into CD44+ and CD44- populations. Immunofluorescence analysis revealed that the majority of CD34+CD44- cells expressed B-lymphocyte-associated CD10 and CD19 antigens, whereas only a part of CD34+CD44+ cells were positive for CD19. Myeloid and erythroid progenitor cells were found predominantly in CD34+ CD44+ cell fractions. In short-term suspension cultures, cell proliferation and G1-->S transition in the cell cycle were enhanced in CD34+CD44+ cells. In contrast, a large part of CD34+CD44- cells underwent apoptotic cell death. Although co-culture with BM stromal cells could partially prevent CD34+CD44- cells from undergoing apoptosis, significant increase of apoptotic cells was consistently observed. Furthermore, CD34+CD44- cells plated on BM stromal cells could differentiate into CD34-CD44-CD10-CD19+ cells. These findings suggest that CD34+CD44- cells expressing CD19 would represent unique B-lymphocyte-committed precursors in BM, which might undergo apoptotic cell death in the early steps of B-cell differentiation. 相似文献

Self-renewal and differentiation of B-cell precursors is dependent on interactions with bone marrow (BM) stromal cells and associated extracellular matrix. We have recently developed an interleukin (IL)-7- dependent, BM-derived stromal cell culture that supports the growth of normal human B-cell precursors. In the current study, we have characterized the constitutive expression, cytokine-regulated expression, and function of adhesion molecules on BM stromal cells that are critical for adhesion of B-cell precursors. Flow cytometric analysis showed that cultured adult BM stromal cells expressed higher constitutive levels of vascular cell adhesion molecule (VCAM)-1 than intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1 (CD54). IL-1 beta upregulated VCAM-1 and CD54 in a dose-dependent manner, whereas IL-4 upregulated VCAM-1, but had no effect on CD54. In contrast, transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta decreased the level of BM stromal cell VCAM-1. Using an assay to measure the adhesion of 51Cr-labeled B-cell precursors to BM stromal cells, we observed a direct correlation between cytokine- regulated levels of VCAM-1 and the capacity of stromal cells to support the adhesion of B-cell precursors. Blocking studies using a panel of monoclonal antibodies (MoAb) showed that adhesion of B-cell precursors to untreated and cytokine-treated (IL-1 beta, IL-4) BM stromal cells was mediated by very late antigen (VLA)-4 (CD49d/CD29) and VCAM-1. Adhesion of B-cell precursors could also be enhanced by direct stimulation with MoAb to the CD29 subunit. Our collective results indicate that B-cell precursor/BM stromal cell adhesion is mediated by a VLA-4-VCAM-1 interaction, which in turn can be regulated at the level of the BM stromal cell by cytokines that specifically increase or decrease cell surface VCAM-1. 相似文献
