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.

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.

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.
