Increase of hematopoietic responses by triple or single helical conformer of an antitumor (1-->3)-beta-D-glucan preparation, Sonifilan, in cyclophosphamide-induced leukopenic mice. (1/3030)

It has been suggested that the immunopharmacological activity of soluble (1-->3)-beta-D-glucan depends on its conformation in mice. In this study, we examined the relationship between the conformation of Sonifilan (SPG) and hematopietic responses in cyclophosphamide (Cy)-induced leukopenic mice. SPG, a high molecular weight (1-->3)-beta-D-glucan, has a triple helical conformation in water, and it was changed by treatment with aqueous sodium hydroxide to the single helical conformer (SPG-OH). The effects of SPG or SPG-OH on hematopoietic responses in cyclophosphamide induced leukopenic mice were investigated by monitoring i) gene expression of cytokines by RT-PCR, ii) protein synthesis of interleukin 6 (IL-6) by ELISA and iii) colony formation of bone marrow cells (BMC). The mice administered Cy and SPG or SPG-OH expressed and produced higher levels of IL-6 mRNA and protein than the mice administered only Cy. Gene expression of NK1.1 was also induced by Cy/SPG (or SPG-OH) treatment. Induced gene expression of stem cell factor (SCF) and macrophage-colony stimulating factor (M-CSF) by SPG/SPG-OH were also found in in vitro culture of BMC from Cy treated mice. These results strongly suggested that conformation of the glucans, single and triple helix, are independent of the hematopietic response.  (+info)

Functional characterization of a novel hematopoietic stem cell and its place in the c-Kit maturation pathway in bone marrow cell development. (2/3030)

While the majority of purified pluripotential hematopoietic stem cells (PHSC) express c-Kit, the receptor for steel factor, we have phenotypically and functionally separated a distinct class of PHSC that does not express c-Kit. In contrast to c-Kit-positive (c-Kit(pos)) PHSC, the c-Kit-negative (c-Kit(neg)) PHSC do not proliferate in response to multiple hematopoietic growth factors in vitro and do not radioprotect or form macroscopic spleen colonies (CFU-s) when transplanted into lethally irradiated recipients. However, the c-Kit(neg) PHSC show delayed or slow reconstitution kinetics when cotransplanted with radioprotective bone marrow cells. c-Kit(neg) PHSCs cells can give rise to c-Kit(pos) cells with CFU-s activity, radioprotective activity, and PHSC activity. Thus, constitutive hematopoiesis is maintained by c-Kit(pos) PHSCS cells that are recruited from a more primitive quiescent c-Kit(neg) PHSC population, which represents a critical developmental stage in definitive hematopoiesis.  (+info)

Single leukapheresis products collected from healthy donors after the administration of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor contain ten-fold higher numbers of long-term reconstituting hematopoietic progenitor cells than conventional bone marrow allografts. (3/3030)

Cytokine-mobilized peripheral blood progenitor cells (PBPCs) have been used successfully for hematopoietic reconstitution following allogeneic transplantation. The ease of harvest, the faster engraftment and the high yield of CD34+ cells have made this source of hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs) an attractive alternative to bone marrow (BM). In the present study we compared the engraftment potential of conventional BM allografts and single leukapheresis products (LPs) collected from healthy donors following the administration of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF). For this, lineage-committed and primitive HPCs were assessed by flow cytometry and by colony- and cobblestone area-forming cell (CFC, CAFC) assays. Mean numbers of CD34+ cells in LPs (n = 11) were similar to that of BM grafts (n = 12) (278+/-57 vs 227+/-34 x 10(6) CD34+ cells). The frequencies of CFCs, week 5 CAFCs and week 8 CAFCs were 1.6-, 8.4- and 10.3-fold higher in the CD34+ compartment of mobilized blood than that of marrow, resulting in significantly higher yields of clonogenic HPCs in LPs when compared to BM grafts. We conclude that G-CSF preferentially mobilizes clonogenic progenitors capable of short- and, in particular, longterm reconstitution, and that the engraftment potential of single LPs is superior to that of BM allografts. Hence, the use of PBPCs may be favorable for protocols that include graft manipulations with expected cell loss (eg T cell depletion, CD34+ selection). PBPCs may also be advantageous for gene therapy trials due to their high numbers of potential target cells (eg CAFCs).  (+info)

Influence of increased c-Myc expression on the growth characteristics of human melanoma. (4/3030)

Overexpression of the proto-oncogene c-myc has been associated with neoplastic transformation in a variety of tumors. For human melanoma high c-myc expression has been found in the vertical growth phase and higher positivity reported in metastases than primary tumors. The principle aim of this study was to determine, whether c-Myc expression influences the metastatic behavior of human melanoma in the absence of lymphocyte-mediated immune phenomena. The growth characteristics and tumor biology of two c-myc transfectants of the human melanoma cell line IGR39D, expressing c-Myc 1.7 and three times over baseline and the respective vector control were analyzed both in vitro and in a severe combined immunodeficient mouse model in vivo. Both c-myc transfectants showed increased growth rates, anchorage independent growth and directed cell movement in culture. Subcutaneously implanted IGR39D melanomas highly overexpressing c-Myc spontaneously formed macroscopic metastases (lymph nodes and lung) in severe combined immunodeficient mice in all cases (n = 7 per group), whereas less prominent c-Myc overexpression caused the development of only lung micrometastases. During the time period leading to terminal disease in animals injected with c-myc transfected human melanoma cells, melanoma development was not seen in vector controls. These findings suggest that constitutive high c-Myc expression in human melanoma results in a more aggressive growth behavior both in vitro and in vivo and favors metastasis in severe combined immunodeficient mice by factors unrelated to immune phenomena such as class I human leukocyte antigen downregulation known to be associated with c-Myc expression.  (+info)

Differential behaviors toward ultraviolet A and B radiation of fibroblasts and keratinocytes from normal and DNA-repair-deficient patients. (5/3030)

Xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) and trichothiodystrophy (TTD) are rare genodermatoses transmitted as recessive and autosomal traits that result in reduced capacity to repair UV-induced DNA lesions. Although XP, but not TTD, patients are prone to basal and squamous cell carcinomas, to date no comparative studies of the XP and TTD phenotypes have included epidermal keratinocytes. We compared the DNA repair capacity (by unscheduled DNA synthesis) and cell survival (by clonal analysis) of epidermal keratinocytes and dermal fibroblasts grown from normal individuals and patients with xeroderma pigmentosum and trichothiodystrophy following UVA and UVB irradiation. The same dose of UVB (1000 J/m2) induced twice as many DNA lesions in normal fibroblasts as in normal keratinocytes. UV survival rates were always higher in keratinocytes than in fibroblasts. Normal and TTD keratinocytes survived better following UVA and UVB irradiation than XP-C and XP-D keratinocytes. XP-C keratinocytes exhibited exacerbated sensitivity toward UVA radiation. Unscheduled DNA synthesis at UV doses leading to 50% cell survival indicated that the ratio of DNA repair capacity to cell survival is higher in keratinocytes than in fibroblasts. In addition, UVA and UVB irradiation induced a transition from proliferative to abortive keratinocyte colonies. This transition varied between donors and was in part correlated with their cancer susceptibility. Altogether these data provide the first evidence of the differential behaviors of normal, XP, and TTD keratinocytes toward UV radiation.  (+info)

Primitive hematopoietic progenitors within mobilized blood are spared by uncontrolled rate freezing. (6/3030)

Uncontrolled-rate freezing techniques represent an attractive alternative to controlled-rate cryopreservation procedures which are time-consuming and require high-level technical expertise. In this study, we report our experience using uncontrolled-rate cryopreservation and mechanical freezer storage at -140 degrees C. Twenty-eight PBPC samples (10 cryovials, 18 freezing bags) from 23 patients were cryopreserved in a cryoprotectant solution composed of phosphate-buffered saline (80%, v/v) supplemented with human serum albumin (10%, v/v) and dimethylsulfoxide (10%, v/v). The cryopreservation procedure required on average 1.5 h. The mean (+/- s.e.m.) storage time of cryovials and bags was 344+/-40 and 299+57 days, respectively. Although cell thawing was associated with a statistically significant reduction of the absolute number of nucleated cells (vials: 0.3x10(9) vs. 0.2x10(9), P< or =0.02; bags: 14x10(9) vs. 11x10(9), P< or =0.0003), the growth of committed progenitors was substantially unaffected by the freezing-thawing procedure, with mean recoveries of CFU-Mix, BFU-E, and CFU-GM ranging from 60+/- 29% to 134+/-15%. Mean recoveries of LTC-IC from cryovials and bags were 262+/-101% and 155+/-27% (P< or =0.2), respectively. In 14 out of 23 patients who underwent high-dose chemotherapy and PBPC reinfusion, the pre-and post-freezing absolute numbers of hematopoietic progenitors cryopreserved in bags were compared. A significant reduction was detected for CFU-Mix (11 vs. 7.4x10(5)), but no significant loss of BFU-E (180 vs. 150x10(5)), CFU-GM (400 vs. 290x10(5)) and LTC-IC (15 vs. 16x10(5)) could be demonstrated. When these patients were reinfused with uncontrolled-rate cryopreserved PBPC, the mean number of days to reach 1x10(9)/l white blood cells and 50x10(9)/l platelets were 9 and 13, respectively. In conclusion, the procedure described here is characterized by short execution time, allows a substantial recovery of primitive and committed progenitors and is associated with prompt hematopoietic recovery following myeloablative therapy even after long-term storage.  (+info)

Conclusions of a national multicenter intercomparative study of in vitro cultures of human hematopoietic progenitors. (7/3030)

With the aim of developing a standardized program of clonogenic cultures, a multicenter intercomparative study of human CFU-GM, BFU-E and CFU-GEMM cultures was conducted. Aliquots of fresh mononuclear cord blood cells, as well as uniform culture materials and instructions for cell culture and for colony scoring were distributed to 28 national laboratories involved in hematopoietic research and transplantation. High interlaboratory coefficients of variation (CV) in the reported number of progenitors were found in our first intercomparative study (range 67-231%). To investigate the relevance of colony scoring in variations of the reported colony numbers, participants were invited to attend a meeting where a single culture dish was scored. In this case, the CVs ranged from 31% to 81%. A subsequent intercomparative assay was then conducted, and significant reductions in the inter-laboratory CVs were obtained with respect to the first study (CVs for colonies grown with two different media: CFU-GMs, 48% and 55%; BFU-Es, 70% and 62%; CFU-GEMMs, 70% and 51%; respectively). In most instances CVs were not significantly different from those obtained in the single plate scoring study, suggesting that the scoring process was the most relevant parameter accounting for variations in the reported colony numbers.  (+info)

Role of interleukin 10 and transforming growth factor beta1 in the angiogenesis and metastasis of human prostate primary tumor lines from orthotopic implants in severe combined immunodeficiency mice. (8/3030)

Transfection of primary human prostate tumor cells (i.e., HPCA-10a, 10b, 10c, and 10d lines) with the transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta1 gene stimulated anchorage-independent growth and promoted tumor growth, angiogenesis, and metastasis after orthotopic implantation in severe combined immunodeficiency mice. In contrast, interleukin (IL)-10 transfected cells or cells cotransfected with these two genes exhibited reduced growth rates and significantly reduced angiogenesis and metastasis after 8, 12, and 16 weeks. Enzyme-linked immunosandwich assays confirmed that the respective tumors expressed elevated levels of TGF-beta1 and IL-10 in vivo. ELISAs further showed that TGF-beta1 expression induced matrix metalloproteinases-2 (MMP-2) expression, whereas IL-10 down-regulated MMP-2 expression while up regulating TIMP-1 in the transfected cells. Also, tumor factor VIII levels correlated with TGF-beta1 and MMP-2 expression and inversely with IL-10 and TIMP-1 levels. More importantly, mouse survival was zero after 4-6 months in mice bearing TGF-beta1- and MMP-2-expressing tumors and increased significantly in mice implanted with IL-10- and TIMP-1-expressing tumors (i.e., to >80% survival). Analysis of the metastatic lesions showed that they expressed TGF-beta1 and MMP-2 but barely detectable levels of IL-10 or TIMP-1, suggesting that IL-10 and TIMP-1 might normally block tumor growth, angiogenesis, and metastasis.  (+info)

We studied the adhesion of primitive and committed progenitors from chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) and normal bone marrow to stroma and to several extracellular matrix components. In contrast to benign primitive progenitors from CML or normal bone marrow, Ph1-positive primitive progenitors from CML bone marrow fail to adhere to normal stromal layers and to fibronectin and its proteolytic fragments, but do adhere to collagen type IV, an extracellular matrix component of basement membranes. Similarly, multilineage colony-forming unit (CFU-MIX) progenitors from CML bone marrow do not adhere to fibronectin or its adhesion promoting fragments but adhere to collagen type IV. Unlike committed progenitors from normal bone marrow, CML single-lineage burst-forming units-erythroid and granulocyte/macrophage colony-forming units fail to adhere to fibronectin or its components but do adhere to both collagen type IV and laminin. Evaluation of adhesion receptor expression demonstrates that fibronectin ...
Antiangiogenic therapy of cancer is highly attractive for several reasons (reviewed in Refs. 38, 39, 40 ). For instance, it can potentially overcome three major problems associated with other anticancer therapies, i.e., the problems of drug resistance (41 , 42) , poor delivery (43 , 44) , and tumor heterogeneity. One approach to the antiangiogenic therapy is antibody-based targeting of tumor vasculature. We have been targeting EDG on tumor vasculature in vivo (9 , 15 , 16) . Several features of EDG are described above (see Introduction). In addition, our anti-EDG mAbs showed little reactivity with normal human bone marrow cells (1) . This observation is consistent with our later finding that anti-EDG immunotoxin (i.e., ricin A-chain conjugate of SN6) selectively eradicated EDG-expressing cells without severely damaging normal human hematopoietic progenitors in the colony-forming unit assays.4 The results suggest that administration of therapeutic doses of an appropriate anti-EDG mAb and ...

We previously demonstrated that 3-azido-3-deoxythymidine (AZT) inhibits growth proliferation of human bone marrow progenitor cells in vitro [Antimicrob. Agents Chemother. 31:452-454 (1987)]. The present study evaluates the effect of toxic concentrations of AZT on possible sites of toxicity in human bone marrow cells. Exposure of cells over a 6-hr period to AZT concentrations between 0.5 and 50 microM resulted in a decreased incorporation of tritiated deoxyguanosine into DNA. Unchanged AZT and its phosphorylated metabolites accumulated within cells after exposure to 10 microM [3H]AZT. 3-Azido-3-deoxythymidine-5-monophosphate was the predominant metabolite, reaching a concentration of 49.2 +/- 14.1 pmol/10(6) cells after 48 hr, and a continuous increase was observed in all phosphorylated derivative levels between 2 and 48 hr of incubation. Using a highly sensitive and specific DNA polymerase assay, endogenous deoxyribonucleotide pool size(s) were analyzed for 48 hr after incubation of cells ...

Myelotoxicity of pesticides and algal toxin was detected in vitro by using the granulocyte-macrophage colony forming unit assay (CFU-GM), and the MTT test with SR-4987 cells, an established stromal cell line derived from a long term murine bone marrow culture, which may represent a suitable in vitro model for studying haematotoxicity. Comparison of the IC50s and NOELs obtained with the CFU-GM assay and those determined by testing the established stromal cells in the MTT cytotoxicity test indicate that inhibition of the proliferation of SR-4987 stromal cells is a sensitive in vitro endpoint for measuring myelotoxicity. It is suggested that this assay could be used as rapid and easy sceening test for determining the haematoxicity of environmental toxins. A comparison with results obtained with the MTT test on a non-differentiated cell line, 3T3-L1, was carried out to distinguish between non-specific interference with cell proliferation and specific toxicity on haemopoietic cells ...

TY - JOUR. T1 - Endothelial colony-forming cell role in neoangiogenesis and tissue repair. AU - Critser, Paul J.. AU - Yoder, Mervin C.. PY - 2010/2/1. Y1 - 2010/2/1. N2 - Purpose of review: Patients suffering from vascular disease often have impaired angiogenic ability contributing to impaired tissue repair. One potential therapy is to deliver cells that can aid in angiogenesis. This review will discuss the ability of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs), which have been reported to contribute to neoangiogenesis in both physiological and pathological conditions, to contribute to neoangiogenesis in tissue repair. Recent findings: In recent years, various reports have described conflicting roles for EPC in vessel formation. Currently there are three different assays for outgrowth of EPC all resulting in the isolation of different cell populations. This confusion is partially due to limited functional characterization of putative EPC populations. One population, endothelial colony-forming cell ...
Laminins are alphabetagamma heterotrimeric extracellular proteins that regulate cellular functions by adhesion to integrin and nonintegrin receptors. Laminins containing alpha4 and alpha5 chains are expressed in bone marrow, but their interactions with hematopoietic progenitors are unknown. We studied human bone marrow cell adhesion to laminin-10/11 (alpha5beta1gamma1/alpha5beta2gamma1), laminin-8 (alpha4beta1gamma1), laminin-1 (alpha1beta1gamma1), and fibronectin. About 35% to 40% of CD34(+) and CD34(+)CD38(-) stem and progenitor cells adhered to laminin-10/11, and 45% to 50% adhered to fibronectin, whereas they adhered less to laminin-8 and laminin-1. Adhesion of CD34(+)CD38(-) cells to laminin-10/11 was maximal without integrin activation, whereas adhesion to other proteins was dependent on protein kinase C activation by 12-tetradecanoyl phorbol-13-acetate (TPA). Fluorescence-activated cell-sorting (FACS) analysis showed expression of integrin alpha6 chain on most CD34(+) and CD34(+)CD38(-) cells.
BACKGROUND: Endothelial progenitor cells play a pivotal role in tissue repair, and thus are used for cell replacement therapies in regenerative medicine. We tested whether the anesthetic sevoflurane would modulate growth or mobilization of these angiogenic cells. METHODS: In an in vitro model, mononuclear cells isolated from peripheral blood of healthy donors were preconditioned with sevoflurane (3 times 30 min at 2 vol% interspersed by 30 min of air). Colony-forming units were determined after 9 days in culture and compared with time-matched untreated control. Using magnetic cell sorting, CD133+/CD34+ endothelial progenitors were enriched from human umbilical cord blood, and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), VEGFR2 (KDR), granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), STAT3, c-kit, and CXCR4 expressions were determined in sevoflurane-treated and untreated cells by real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction. In a volunteer study with crossover design, we tested whether ...
Umbilical cord blood-derived endothelial colony-forming cells (UCB-ECFC) show utility in neovascularization, but their contribution to osteogenesis has not been defined. Cocultures of UCB-ECFC with human fetal-mesenchymal stem cells (hfMSC) resulted in earlier induction of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) (Day 7 vs. 10) and increased mineralization (1.9x; p < .001) compared to hfMSC monocultures. This effect was mediated through soluble factors in ECFC-conditioned media, leading to 1.8-2.2x higher ALP levels and a 1.4-1.5x increase in calcium deposition (p < .01) in a dose-dependent manner. Transcriptomic and protein array studies demonstrated high basal levels of osteogenic (BMPs and TGF-βs) and angiogenic (VEGF and angiopoietins) regulators. Comparison of defined UCB and adult peripheral blood ECFC showed higher osteogenic and angiogenic gene expression in UCB-ECFC. Subcutaneous implantation of UCB-ECFC with hfMSC in immunodeficient mice resulted in the formation of chimeric human vessels, ...
Programmed cell death-2 (PDCD2) protein is enriched in embryonic, hematopoietic, and neural stem cells, however, its function in stem/progenitor cell differentiation is unclear. We investigated the effects of PDCD2 knockdown on the development and differentiation of hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPC). CD34(+) cells derived from normal human bone marrow and K562 leukemic cells were effectively transduced with short-hairpin RNA to knockdown PDCD2. Colony-forming assays were used to investigate the effects of PDCD2 loss on HPC clonogenic potential and on 12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate-and arabinofuranosylcytosine-induced terminal differentiation. In CD34(+) clonogenic progenitors, PDCD2 knockdown decreased the total number of colony-forming units, increased the number of colony-forming units-granulocyte-erythroid-macrophage-megakaryocyte and burst-forming unit-erythroid primitive colonies, and decreased the number of burst-forming unit-erythroid mature colonies. Similar results were ...
To expand on the findings from previous clinical trials that the growth of residual tumor is increased at a predictable time following initial drug administration, malignant plasma cells from bone marrows of patients with multiple myeloma (MM) were examined for changes in proliferation and clonogenicity induced in vivo by cyclophosphamide and in vitro by drug-induced humoral stimulatory activity. Peak plasma cell [3H]thymidine labeling index (LI) occurred predictably following drug and paralleled changes in agar colony formation by marrow cells obtained during therapy. Colony-forming capacity of pretreatment MM marrow populations was enhanced when those cells were cultured with humoral stimulatory activity, similar to the increased colony formation detected in Day 9 postcyclophosphamide marrows at the time of peak plasma cell LI.. To further define a relationship between proliferative plasma cells and colony-forming tumor cells, MM Marrows were fractionated by sedimentation on an isokinetic ...
Lung Basal Stem Cells Rapidly Repair DNA Damage Using the Error-Prone Nonhomologous End-Joining Pathway Investigators showed that human basal stem cells (BSCs) isolated from heavy smokers proliferate extensively, whereas their alveolar progenitor cell counterparts have limited colony-forming capacity. They demonstrated that this difference arises in part because of the ability of BSCs to repair their DNA more efficiently than alveolar cells following ionizing radiation or chemical-induced DNA damage.

We evaluated the effects of natural purine and pyrimidine nucleosides on protection from or reversal of 3-azido-3-deoxythymidine (AZT) cytotoxicity in human bone marrow progenitor cells by using clonogenic assays. The selectivity of the protection or rescue agents was examined in evaluating the antiretroviral activity of AZT in combination with these modulating agents and of AZT alone. Following exposure of human granulocyte-macrophage progenitor cells for 2 h to 5 microM AZT (70% inhibitory concentration), increasing concentrations of potential rescue agents were added. Cells were cultured, and colony formation was assessed after 14 days. At concentrations of up to 50 microM no natural 2-deoxynucleosides, including thymidine, were able to reverse the toxic effects of AZT. Dose-dependent reversal was observed with uridine and cytidine, and essentially complete reversal was achieved with 50 microM uridine. In the protection studies, 100 microM thymidine almost completely antagonized the ...

L-selectin acts as a homing receptor for lymphocytes to enter secondary lymphoid tissues via high endothelial venules. Ligands present on endothelial cells will bind to lymphocytes expressing L-selectin, slowing lymphocyte trafficking through the blood, and facilitating entry into a secondary lymphoid organ at that point.[2] The receptor is commonly found on the cell surfaces of T cells. Naive T-lymphocytes, which have not yet encountered their specific antigen, need to enter secondary lymph nodes to encounter their antigen. Central memory T-lymphocytes, which have encountered antigen, express L-selectin to localize in secondary lymphoid organs. Here they reside ready to proliferate upon re-encountering antigen. Effector memory T-lymphocytes do not express L-selectin, as they circulate in the periphery and have immediate effector functions upon encountering antigen. High expression of L-selectin on human bone marrow progenitor cells is an early sign of cells becoming committed to lymphoid ...
A methodology for selection of the CD8 cell subset from the peripheral blood and bone marrow mononuclear cells was developed using anti-T8 (CD8) antibody and magnetic microspheres coated with anti-mouse IgG. Following optimization of antibody:cell binding ratio and microsphere:cell ratios, CD8(+)-cells in the peripheral blood and bone marrow were effectively removed, with an overall final recovery of 34.9% +/- 8.6%, and 56% +/- 8.5% respectively with complete recovery of stem cells and very little contamination with effector cells. CD8(+)-depleted cell preparations demonstrated a 3-4 fold increase in CFU-C and CFU-E colony formation over non-depleted preparations when stimulated with G-CSF, GM-CSF or IL-3 and erythropoietin. The largest increase in colony formation was evident when IL-3 was used to stimulate colony formation. Purified autologous CD8+ T-cells or culture supernatant from in vitro cultures of purified autologous CD8+ T-cells added back to CD8 depleted preparations, induced 20%-90%
Hemopoietic precursors with the ability to differentiate into wide varieties of cell types are considered primitive, as are precursors with long-term repopulating ability. Here we study the populations of marrow precursors from which both myeloid and lymphoid lineages are descended shortly after transplantation. Surprisingly, few or none of these precursors show long-term repopulating ability. Equal portions of a mixture of marrow cells from C57BL/6J (B6) and congenic B6-Hbbd Gpi-1a mice are transplanted into a group of recipients. Three weeks later, highly significant correlations between percentages of B6 type T cells, B cells, granulocytes, and platelets in each recipient indicate that many lymphoid and myeloid cells are descended from common precursors. After 4-6 weeks, most correlations between lymphoid and myeloid cells improve, indicating that most or all differentiated cells are descended from common precursors. The more differentiated myeloid-specific precursors found in spleen

Confluent monolayers of LLC-MK2 cells used in FFU reduction assays were exposed to increasing concentrations of peptide before measuring selleck chemicals Tofacitinib mitochondrial reductase activity using an MTT mitochondrial reductase activity assay (Figure 3). When we initially performed these assays to exactly mimic the focus forming unit assay by waiting five days after peptide exposure, we saw no evidence of toxicity at any concentration of any peptide (data not shown). However, we found that a shorter post-exposure incubation time revealed a subtle toxicity on the part of one of the peptides. Apparently, waiting more than 24 h post-exposure gives the cells a chance to recover and conceals this effect. At 24 h post-exposure, DN57opt was found to be mildly toxic to cells at 40 ��M (one-way ANOVA with Dunnets post hoc test, P=0.. 0004, N=18), so only inhibitory data using lower, nontoxic concentrations was considered. Peptides DN57optscr, 1OAN1, and 1OAN1scr were not toxic at any ...

TY - JOUR. T1 - Suppression and potentiation of mouse hematopoietic progenitor cell proliferation by ouabain. AU - Spivak, J. L.. AU - Misiti, J.. AU - Stuart, R.. AU - Sharkis, S. J.. AU - Sensenbrenner, L. L.. PY - 1980. Y1 - 1980. N2 - Clonal assays for CFU-S, CFU-C, BFU-E, and CFU-E were employed to evaluate the effect of ouabain on the proliferation of mouse hematopoietic progenitor cells. Preincubation of bone marrow cells with ouabain at concentrations of 10-6-10-12 M suppressed the proliferation of CFU-S as measured by the spleen colony assay. At 10-9 M ouabain, spleen colony formation was inhibited by more than 95%. When included in soft agar cultures of bone marrow cells, ouabain suppressed the proliferation of CFU-C in a complex fashion. At 10-4 M ouabain, colony formation was suppressed by 70%, while at 10-6 M ouabain, CFU-C proliferation was normal. At 10-9 M ouabain, however, the number of colonies formed was only 70% of normal, and complete recovery was not obtained at 10-12 M ...
Techniques for the development of ovine bone marrow-derived haemopoietic progenitor cells and in situ identification of colony morphology are described. Both mitogen stimulated lymphoid cells and antigen stimulated helper T-cells generated potent colony-stimulating activity in conditioned medium. Monocyte/macrophage, neutrophil, eosinophil, basophil/mast cell, neutrophil/monocyte and mixed phenotype colonies developed in stimulated bone marrow cultures in a conditioned medium dose-dependent manner. Neutrophil, monocyte/macrophage and eosinophil colonies were detected in greater numbers than the other types, with mixed colonies representing only around 1% of the total. Eosinophil colonies were particularly abundant when compared to published reports of the numbers obtained with similar cultures of normal mouse or human bone marrow cells. This culture technique will allow a detailed analysis of both ovine colony-stimulating factors and of the distribution of haemopoietic progenitor cells in vivo.
TY - JOUR. T1 - Association of cell cycle expression of Ia-like antigenic determinants on normal human multipotential (CFU-GEMM) and erythroid (BFU-E) progenitor cells with regulation in vitro by acidic isoferritins. AU - Lu, L.. AU - Broxmeyer, H. E.. AU - Meyers, P. A.. AU - Moore, M. A.. AU - Thaler, H. T.. PY - 1983. Y1 - 1983. N2 - An association has been established between human Ia-like antigenic determinants, expression during DNA synthesis on multipotential (CFU-GEMM) and erythroid (BFU-E) progenitor cells, and the regulatory action of acidic isoferritins in vitro. Treatment of human bone marrow cells with monoclonal anti-Ia (NE1-011) plus complement inhibited colony formation of CFU-GEMM and BFU-E by 50%-70%. Reduction of colonies was similar whether bone marrow cells were exposed to anti-Ia plus complement, high specific activity tritiated thymidine (3HTdr), or acidic isoferritins. No further decrease was apparent with 3HTdr or acidic isoferritins after Ia-antigen+ CFU-GEMM or BFU-E ...
Cortical (cTEC) and medullary (mTEC) thymic epithelial cells establish key microenvironments for T-cell differentiation and arise from thymic epithelial cell progenitors (TEP). However, the nature of TEPs and the mechanism controlling their stemness in the postnatal thymus remain poorly defined. Using TEC clonogenic assays as a surrogate to survey TEP activity, we found that a fraction of cTECs generates specialized clonal-derived colonies, which contain cells with sustained colony-forming capacity (ClonoTECs). These ClonoTECs are EpCAM+MHCII-Foxn1lo cells that lack traits of mature cTECs or mTECs but co-express stem-cell markers, including CD24 and Sca-1. Supportive of their progenitor identity, ClonoTECs reintegrate within native thymic microenvironments and generate cTECs or mTECs in vivo. Strikingly, the frequency of cTECs with the potential to generate ClonoTECs wanes between the postnatal and young adult immunocompetent thymus, but it is sustained in alymphoid Rag2-/-Il2rg-/- counterparts. ...
TY - JOUR. T1 - Overexpression of murine TSLP impairs lymphopoiesis and myelopoiesis. AU - Osborn, Mark J.. AU - Ryan, Patricia L.. AU - Kirchhof, Nicole. AU - Panoskaltsis-Mortari, Angela. AU - Mortari, Frank. AU - Tudor, Kim Sue R S. PY - 2004/2/1. Y1 - 2004/2/1. N2 - The role of thymic stromal cell-derived lymphopoietin (TSLP) in regulating hematopoiesis is poorly characterized, so we investigated its regulatory effects in vivo using TSLP transgenic mice. Overexpression of TSLP disrupted hematopoietic homeostasis by causing imbalances in lymphopoiesis and myelopoiesis. Mice harboring a TSLP transgene had 5- to 700-fold fewer B and T precursors and no detectable pre-B lymphocyte colony-forming activity in the marrow or spleen. Conversely, TSLP transgenic mice possessed 15 to 20 times more spienic myeloid precursors than their littermates, and progenitor activity of the granulocyte-erythrocyte-macrophage-megakaryocyte colony-forming units was significantly elevated. The arrest in lymphopoiesis ...
Hotair is a member of the recently described class of noncoding RNAs called lincRNA (large intergenic noncoding RNA). Various studies suggest that Hotair acts regulating epigenetic states by recruiting chromatin-modifying complexes to specific target sequences that ultimately leads to suppression of several genes. Although Hotair has been associated with metastasis and poor prognosis in different tumor types, a deep characterization of its functions in cancer is still needed. Here, we investigated the role of Hotair in the scenario of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and in the arising and maintenance of cancer stem cells (CSCs). We found that treatment with TGF-1 resulted in increased Hotair expression and triggered the EMT program. Interestingly, ablation of Hotair expression by siRNA prevented the EMT program stimulated by TGF-1, and also the colony-forming capacity of colon and breast cancer cells. Furthermore, we observed that the colon CSC subpopulation (CD133(+)/CD44(+)) ...
TY - JOUR. T1 - Functional p85α gene is required for normal murine fetal erythropoiesis. AU - Huddleston, Hannah. AU - Tan, Bailin. AU - Yang, Feng Chun. AU - White, Hilary. AU - Wenning, Mary Jo. AU - Orazi, Attilio. AU - Yoder, Mervin C.. AU - Kapur, Reuben. AU - Ingram, David A.. PY - 2003/7/1. Y1 - 2003/7/1. N2 - In vitro studies suggest that activation of class IA phosphatidyiinositol 3 (PI-3) kinase is necessary for normal erythroid cell development. However, when class IA PI-3 kinase-deficient mice were generated by a targeted deletion of the p85α regulatory subunit, fetal erythropoiesis was reportedly unaffected. Given the discrepancies between these studies, we performed a more detailed in vivo analysis of class IA PI-3 kinase-deficient embryos. Day-14.5 p85α-/- embryos are pale with a marked reduction of mature erythrocytes in their peripheral blood. Further, the absolute number and frequency of both early (erythroid burst-forming unit [BFU-E]) and late erythroid progenitors ...

Evaluating the function of an individual hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) is a difficult and important problem. The functional ability per HSC, as well as the HSC concentration, was measured with minimal disruption to the cells in vivo using the new competitive dilution assay. Distribution of HSC into recipients was modeled based on Poisson probabilities. Predictions of donor contributions from models assuming different levels of donor HSC functional ability and concentration were compared to actual observations. The model with the least difference between predictions and observations was accepted. In BALB/ cBy (BALB) mice, models assuming equal functional ability of HSC from the same donor fit extremely well with actual observations, suggesting that all HSC are functionally homogeneous at any particular time point during development or aging. Relative HSC functional ability per cell declined during development, so that a fetal HSC had 1.6 to 3.0 times the functional ability of a young adult
