人骨髓间充质干细胞体外支持脐血CD34+细胞增殖的研究

为了研究人骨髓间充质干细胞(MSC)作为滋养层细胞体外支持脐血CD34+细胞扩增的作用,将MSC和胎儿骨髓来源的成纤维细胞样骨髓基质细胞系(HFCL)经60Coγ线照射后分别制备细胞滋养层,比较不同滋养层细胞和添加或不加细胞因子对脐血CD34+细胞增殖数及LTC-IC数的影响.结果表明,无论有无添加细胞因子(rhFL、rhSCF、rhTPO),HFCL滋养层组培养12天扩增细胞数明显高于MSC滋养层组,以第0天细胞数为100%(下同),有细胞因子组为(9797±361)%vs(7061±418)%,无细胞因子组为(5305±354)%vs(1992±247)%,均P＜0.01.MSC滋养层组CD34+细胞扩增数与HFCL滋养层组相比无显著差异[(825±305)%vs(820±191)%,P＞0.05],但在细胞因子存在时低于HFCL滋养层组[(939±212)%vs(1617±222)%,P＜0.01].MSC滋养层组维持脐血中LTC-IC的能力明显优于HFCL滋养层组[第5周CFU-GM数(129.95±8.73)个/105接种细胞数vs(89.81±10.29)个/105接种细胞数,P＜0.05];细胞因子存在时,其作用更为明显[第5周CFU-GM数(192.93±4.95)个/105接种细胞数vs(90.47±14.28)个/105接种细胞数,P＜0.01].MSC与HFCL按一定比例混合,可提高扩增效率.当MSC与HFCL之比为41时,集落形成数量最高,达(186.89±11.11)个/105接种细胞数,明显高于比例为32(131.45±13.02)个/105接种细胞数和二者单用组[前者(138.92±14.84)个/105接种细胞数,后者(64.63±6.11)个/105接种细胞数;均P＜0.01].结论MSC维持脐血中LTC-IC集落形成的能力优于基质细胞系HFCL,HFCL支持脐血CD34+细胞的增殖能力优于MSC,MSC加上适量HFCL可显著提高CD34+细胞扩增效率.

Effects of Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Fibroblastoid Cell Line as Feeder Layers on Expansion of Umbilical Cord Blood CD34 + Cells In Vitro

To investigate the effects of human mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) and human fibroblastoid cell line (HFCL) as feeder layer on expansion of umbilical cord blood CD34(+) cells in vitro, (60)Co gamma-ray irradiated MSC and HFCL were used as feeder layer to expand cord blood CD34(+) cells in culture. The efficiencies of MSC and HFCL on expansion of CD34(+) cells in culture with or without cytokines were compared. The results showed that no matter whether cytokines (rhFL, rhSCF, rhTPO) were added, the proliferation of nucleated cells after expansion for 12 days in HFCL group was statistically higher than that in MSC group, i.e. with cytokines (9797 +/- 361)% vs (7061 +/- 418)%; without cytokines (5305 +/- 354)% vs (1992 +/- 247)%, when the cell numbers at day 0 was accounted as 100%), P < 0.01. The proliferation of propagated CD34(+) cells between MSC group and HFCL without addition of cytokines was not statistically different (820 +/- 191)% vs (825 +/- 305)%, P > 0.05. However, in the presence of cytokines, the propagating rate of MSC group was lower than that of HFCL group (939 +/- 212)% vs (1617 +/- 222)%, P < 0.01. MSC was better than HFCL in maintaining the LTC-IC of UCB CD34(+) cells, i.e. the number of CFU-GM colonies in the fifth week was (129.95 +/- 8.73) /10(5) seeded cells vs (89.81 +/- 10.29) colonies/10(5) cells, P < 0.05; with addition of cytokines, the effect was more obvious, i.e. the number of CFU-GM colonies in the fifth week (192.93 +/- 4.95)/10(5) seeded cells vs (90.47 +/- 14.28) colonies/10(5) seeded cells, P < 0.01. MSC mixed with a certain proportion of HFCL facilitated maintaining the LTC-IC of UCB CD34(+) cells. When the proportion was 4:1, the number of CFU-GM colonies was the highest (186.89 +/- 11.11)/10(5) seeded cells, which was higher than that of both 3:2 group [(138.92 +/- 14.84) colonies/10(5) seeded cells] and MSC only group, i.e. (64.63 +/- 6.11) colonies/10(5) seeded cells, both P < 0.01. It is concluded that HFCL is better than MSC in maintaining the expansion of CD34(+) cells and cytokines can enhance this effect, while MSC are stronger than HFCL in maintaining the LTC-IC of UCB CD34(+) cells in vitro. MSC with addition of a certain proportion of HFCL can significantly enhance the efficiency of CD34(+) cell expansion.
