目的探讨藏药巴桑母酥油丸对放射线-化学复合损伤小鼠粒-巨噬系造血功能的影响及可能机理。方法60Coγ射线照射和环磷酰胺腹腔注射方式制造放射线-化学复合损伤小鼠模型,采用外周血细胞计数、造血祖细胞集落分析、实时荧光定量PCR,检测灌胃不同浓度巴桑母酥油丸后不同时间放射线-化学复合损伤小鼠外周白细胞数、骨髓粒-巨噬系(CFU-GM)造血祖细胞集落产率、粒-巨噬系集落刺激因子(GM-CSF)和粒-巨噬系集落刺激因子受体(GM-CSF R)mRNA相对表达量。结果灌胃14 d后,中、高剂量组的白细胞数显著高于生理盐水组;中剂量巴桑母酥油丸灌胃14 d后,骨髓CFU-GM集落产率、GM-CSF mRNA和GM-CSFR mRNA也显著高于空白组、生理盐水组。结论适当浓度的巴桑母酥油丸可以通过上调骨髓GM-CSF、GM-CSFR mRNA表达、促进CFU-GM增殖分化,进而促进放射线-化学复合损伤后小鼠外周血白细胞数的提前恢复。     

红景天苷对骨髓抑制贫血小鼠造血祖细胞增殖的影响

采用造血祖细胞培养技术,观察红景灭苷体内给药和细胞培养直接用药对骨髓抑制贫血小鼠造血祖细胞增殖和骨髓有核细胞数目的影响.结果显示,体内用药能显著增加BMC数目,促进BFU-E、CFU-E、CFU-GM和CFU-Meg集落形成(P<0.05);在一定浓度下,体外用药也能显著促进BFU-E、CFU-E、CFU-GM和CFU-Meg集落形成(P<0.05).结果提示,红景天苷可能通过间接或直接作用刺激骨髓抑制贫血小鼠造血祖细胞的增殖来促进造血功能的恢复.     

小鼠胎肝和骨髓造血基质细胞贴壁层对红系祖细胞生长的影响

本实验以Dexter培养体系作小鼠胎肝和骨髓造血基质细胞贴壁培养。在所获的基质细胞贴壁层上作红系造血祖细胞集落培养,观察两种来源造血基质细胞对红系集落生长的影响。实验结果表明,胎肝造血基质细胞贴壁层能明显促进早期红系造血祖细胞(BFU-E)形成集落,却不明显影响晚期红系造血祖细胞(CFU-E)的生长。成年小鼠骨髓造血基质细胞贴壁层对BFU-E和CFU-E均有刺激生长的作用;但对前者生长的刺激性影响较胎肝造血基质细胞贴壁层为弱。造血基质细胞贴壁层对红系集落生长的促进作用主要是通过体液因子实现的,细胞间短距离调节的影响亦不能除外。     

组胺H2受体拮抗剂对骨髓造血重建的影响

用组胺H_2受体拮抗剂(甲氰咪胍或呋喃硝胺)处理正常和亚致死量γ-射线照射小鼠,探讨正常体内造血和再生骨髓中造血重建与组胺受体的关系。发现非毒性剂量的甲氰咪胍对正常小鼠骨髓多能造血干细胞(CFU-s)无抑制作用,但可抑制小鼠体内粒单系祖细胞(CFU-GM)的生长和亚致死量照射后CFU-s产率的恢复。组胺可能与骨髓的再生有关,组胺H_2受体拮抗剂可抑制骨髓的造血重建。

BCL-2反义硫代磷酸寡脱氧核苷酸对原代急性白血病细胞选择性抑制作用

为探讨BCL-2反义硫代磷酸寡脱氧核苷酸(AS-PS-ODN,ASPO)对急性原代白血病细胞和正常或良性血液病骨髓细胞的作用是否存在差别。应用台盼蓝拒染试验测定细胞存活力;用造血祖细胞集落培养:粒—单系祖细胞集落(CFU-GM),多向祖细胞集落(CFU-Mix),后红系祖细胞集落(CFU-E)、前红系祖细胞集落(BFU-E)和白血病祖细胞集落(CFU-AML,CFU-ALL)培养检测细胞增殖能力;免疫细胞化学染色检测细胞BCL-2蛋白表达变化。结果发现(1)正常或良性血液病骨髓细胞经10μmol/L ASPO处理一周,同对照组比较:细胞生长数、CFU-GM、CFU-Mix、CFU-E、BFU-E及BCL-2蛋白表达均无显著差别(P<0.05)。(2)急性原代白血病细胞经5μmol/L ASPO处理一周,同对照组比较:细胞生长数显著减低;CFU-AML或CFU-ALL显著降低(P < 0.05),而CFU-GM明显增高(P< 0.05);对照组BCL-2蛋白表达率为77.92％±22.50％,ASPO组于培养的第3天为54.05％±20.20％(P<0.01)和第6天为55.35％±22.74％(P<0.05)均显著低于对照组。因此认为BCL-2ASPO具有选择性地抑制白血病细胞的增殖和BCL-2蛋白的表达的作用。     

巨细胞病毒感染对多向造血祖细胞体外增殖的影响

探讨人巨细胞病毒(Human cytomegalovirus,HCMV)对脐血多向造血祖细胞(CFU-Mix)体外增殖的抑制作用,采用造血祖细胞体外半固体培养技术,培养、观察、计数HCMV-AD_(169)株对脐血CFU-Mix集落产率、抑制率、集落峰值时间和集落维持时间;用聚合酶链反应(PCR)技术检测集落细胞内HCMV-DNA。结果发现HCMV-AD_(169)株感染的CFU-Mix集落产率较对照组明显减少(P<0.01),集落产率随病毒感染滴度的增高而减少,抑制率随病毒滴度的增高而逐渐增加:各组CFU-Mix集落峰值时间为10～12d(P>0.05),不同滴度病毒感染组集落维持时间(15～18d)较对照组(22～24d)明显宿短(P<0.01);经PCR检测病毒感染组,发现CFU-Mix集落细胞内有HCMV-AD_(169) DNA存在。因此认为多向造血祖细胞是HCMV的宿主细胞之一,HCMV-AD_(169)能直接感染多向造血祖细胞,抑制多向造血祖细胞的增殖和分化,此可能是临床HCMV感染患儿出现粒细胞减少、血小板减少和贫血的主要原因。

人参总皂甙对人GM-CSF和GM-CSFR表达的调控

为探讨人参调控粒细胞发生的生物学机制,采用造血祖细胞和骨髓基质细胞体外培养、造血生长因子生物学活性检测、免疫细胞化学、核酸分子原位杂交、免疫沉淀和蛋白印迹等现代生物学技术,研究人参总皂甙(total saponins of Panax ginaeng,TSPG)对人粒-巨噬细胞集落刺激因子(granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor,GM-CSF)和粒-巨噬细胞集落刺激因子受体α(GM-CSFRα)表达的影响。结果：(1)经TSPG(50μg／m1)诱导制备的骨髓基质细胞、胸腺细胞、脾细胞、血管内皮细胞和单核细胞条件培养液可显著提高粒单系造血祖细胞(CFU-GM)的集落产率;(2)经TSPG(50μg/ml)诱导后,上述细胞的GM-CSF蛋白(诱导24h)和mRNA(诱导12h)表达显著提高;(3)经TSPG(50μg/ml)诱导24h骨髓造血细胞的GM-CSFRα蛋白表达增强;(4)经TSPG(50μg/ml)刺激后2min,GM-CSFRα和Shc发生酪氨酸磷酸化,5min时达高峰,随后去磷酸化。上述结果表明,TSPG可能通过直接和／或间接途径促进淋巴细胞与骨髓基质细胞合成与分泌GM-CSF,诱导骨髓造血细胞表达GM-CSFRα,并刺激GM-CSFRα和Shc的酪氨酸可逆磷酸化,从而通过调控GM-CSF的信号转导过程,促进CFU-GM的增殖。     

Recovery of CFU-GM after freezing of normal human bone marrow: effect of three dilution techniques after thawing

In the cryopreservation procedures intended for autotransplantation of human bone marrow a controversial point is represented by the methods of reconstruction of the cellular suspension after thawing and before infusion into the patient. To evaluate how the dilution rate after thawing affects bone marrow viability, we cryopreserved the bone marrow from 16 hematologically normal patients in DMSO at a concentration of 10%. After thawing, the cells were diluted according to three different techniques and their viability was tested by the growth of CFU-GM in methylcellulose. The average recovery of CFU-GM, in comparison with that of fresh cells, was satisfactory and not affected by the type of dilution. In conclusion, if we accept that the resistance to osmotic stress due to the cryoprotectant is similar for stem cells and CFU-GM, we can maintain that a slow, gradual dilution is not a necessary condition to assume the staminality of bone marrow designed for autotransplantation.     

Comparison of stem cell viability of bone marrow cryopreserved by two different methods

Two different cryogenic methods were used to study the preservation of murine bone marrow cells. Compared to the classical methods, in which separated mononuclear marrow cells in 10% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) were cryopreserved in liquid nitrogen (-196 degrees C), a modified technique was carried out by cryopreservation of unfractionated marrow cells in a mixed protectant of 5% DMSO and 6% hydroxyethyl starch (HES) at -80 degrees C. Samples that were separately thawed after storage for 1, 4, 8, and 12 weeks were assayed for cell viability and recovery of CFU-GM and CFU-S. No macroscopic clumping of cells was noted either in fractionated or in unfractionated marrow cell cryopreservations. A mild damage, about 25% reduction of stem cells, was found at 1 week and did not deepen further. It seems that the greatest loss of stem cells occurred in the process of cryopreservation itself. Compared to prefreeze values, both a high number of cells that excluded trypan blue (87 +/- 3.4%) and a high recovery of CFU-GM (75 +/- 9.8%) and CFU-S (74 +/- 11.2) were observed in unfractionated marrow samples cryopreserved with the DMSO/HES mixture at -80 degrees C for 3 months and these results were very similar to those obtained from fractionated mononuclear marrow cells cryopreserved at -196 degrees C. The DMSO/HES protectant provides a simplified bone marrow cryopreservation technique that should be favorable to clinical application because of its high stem cell recovery and avoidance of cell-separation manipulation.     

Cryopreservation of human cadaveric bone marrow cells

The viability of cryopreserved human cadaveric bone marrow cells was studied using methylcellulose clonal cell culture assays. This is the first study done to reveal the persistence of hemopoietic proliferative and differentiative functions using the methylcellulose clonal cell assay in cryopreserved human cadaveric bone marrow cells which are several hours postmortem. Studies of cryopreserved human cadaveric bone marrows corresponded with those of murine bone marrows. These results strongly suggest that several hours postmortem human cadaveric bone marrow cells can be cryopreserved and may be useful for transplantation.     

Stem cells from peripheral blood and bone marrow: a comparative evaluation of the hemopoietic potential in the dog

The kinetics and pattern of hemopoietic recovery after supralethal total-body irradiation (TBI) were compared after transfusion of cryopreserved autografts derived from peripheral blood and bone marrow. Fractionated TBI was given in three doses of 6 Gy each at intervals of 48 h. Grafts of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (MNC) were collected by means of continuous-flow centrifugation and by using the mobilizing agent, dextran sulphate. Autografts were adjusted to contain equal numbers of committed progenitor cells (CFU-GM). Dogs grafted with blood-derived MNC (group A) and with MNC from bone marrow (group B) all received about 1 X 10(5) CFU-GM per kg body weight. In all dogs consistent hemopoietic engraftment was achieved. Comparing the pattern of regeneration of the granulocytes, group A dogs showed a significant regeneratory advantage over group B dogs, particularly during the first 20 days after transplantation. Lymphoid recovery was more rapid in group A until day 14. In both groups, blood lymphocytes remained below normal values beyond day 100. The regeneration patterns of the platelets and reticulocytes revealed no significant differences. These results are in agreement with the hypothesis that there are differences in the relationship between CFU-GM content and hemopoietic potential of autografts from different sources.     

Controlled rate freezing of human marrow in a constant temperature cooling gradient in air

A new instrument which utilizes a computer controlled freezing platform moving in a constant air temperature gradient generated over liquid nitrogen (LN2) was evaluated for cryopreservation of human marrow. Marrows were placed horizontally on the freezing platform which was suspended over LN2 in a cylindrical freezing chamber. The platform was raised or lowered to maintain a predetermined fixed cooling rate in response to temperature monitored and recorded by the computer from a thermocouple placed at platform level. Separate freezing programs were created for different marrow volumes. The viability of normal marrow was tested in vitro before and after freezing. Recovery of marrow cells after freezing and thawing, as measured by cell counts and CFU-GM assays, were the same for the constant air gradient instrument as for a conventional freezing instrument. Thirteen patients received autologous marrow transplants utilizing marrow cryopreserved in the constant air gradient instrument and engraftment results were indistinguishable from those obtained for marrow cryopreserved with a conventional instrument.     

Bone marrow cryopreservation: biological aspects

Ten bone marrow suspensions have been cryopreserved by a Programmed Freezer Planer R 201. Total cellularity, viability, differential myelograms, cytochemical pattern and CFU-GM growth "in vitro", have been evaluated on the cellular suspensions both before and after 1 and 18 months of storage in liquid nitrogen. Total cellular recovery and viable cell recovery were satisfactory, cellular loss being due, almost entirely to death of the more mature cells. NASDA reaction did not vary after freezing, on the contrary peroxidase reaction and overall PAS reaction showed respectively a slight and an almost complete disappearance. LAP reaction was not valuable, after freezing, because of the more mature myeloid cell loss. CFU-GM recovery was satisfactory and clusters and colonies growth in methylcellulose appeared quite similar before and after 1 and 18 months of storage at very low temperature. Our cryopreservation technique cannot prevent some cellular loss or some qualitative cellular damage, but colonizing ability is almost completely preserved.     

Leukapheresis cell concentration adjustment required for a successful recovery of HSC after cryopreservation

The recovering of an adequate number of hematopoietic stem cells after cryopreservation is considered pivotal for successful transplantation. Various factors could influence the recovery of HSC following processing and cryopreservation. Therefore, leukapheresis product from thirty patients was cryopreserved in 10% DMSO in cryopreservation bags for their autologous bone marrow transplantation, and 2 ml were cryopreserved in cryovials for post-thaw viability assessment by flow cytometry. The percentage of viable HSCs recovered post-cryopreservation in leukapheresis product was significantly influenced by the concentration of the total nucleated cells cryopreserved per volume. Patients receiving a higher rate of viable HSCs resulted in earlier engraftment of both neutrophils and platelets, so they have been discharged earlier from the hospital. Furthermore, Storage temperature and duration played a role in the recovery of these cells and for the support of the findings, age of the patient at the time of collection did not show any impact on the recovery of this HSC post-cryopreservation. In conclusion, various influencing factors must be taken into consideration during the cryopreservation of HSCs, especially for poor mobilizing patients with a low number of collected hematopoietic stem cells.     

The Effect of Cryopreservation of Bone Marrow Cells from Donor Mice that Carry the <Emphasis Type="Italic">egfp</Emphasis> Gene,on the Lifespan of Mice after Syngeneic Transplantation

The effect of cryopreservation of bone marrow cells on the lifespan of mice after syngeneic transplantation has been studied in nonirradiated mice and 7 Gy-irradiated mice. Mice with the enhanced green fluorescent protein gene were the donors. Bone marrow cells were cryopreserved according to the method used in clinical practice in the field of bone marrow autotransplantation in the treatment for patients with cancer. Dimethyl sulfoxide dissolved in polyglucin at the final concentration of 5% acted as a cryoprotectant agent. Transplantation of the thawed stem cells was carried out without washing out the cryoprotectant. No side effects associated with the cryoprotectant toxicity were observed. It has been shown that staining of bonemarrow cells with trypan blue is a more selective technique to evaluate the extent of cell damage after cryopreservation. The mean lifespan of nonirradiated recipient mice was not statistically different from that of the intact control group. In irradiated recipient mice, the mean lifespan increased by 51 ± 2% compared to the group of irradiated controls. The analysis of a blood sample taken from the tail vein of irradiated mice revealed lifelong engraftment of donor-derived cells in the hematopoietic system of the recipient mice. Thus, model experiments on the syngeneic strain of mice showed that cryopreserved bone-marrow cells can be effectively used for cell therapy in autotransplantation in patients after X-ray radiation therapy.     

Generation of lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cells and possible implications in autologous bone marrow transplantation--a preliminary report

Lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cells were generated successfully without mitogen from blood mononuclear cells obtained from 14 patients with varying malignancies and 2 normal donors. Cells from both groups showed a positive cytotoxicity by a 4-hour 51-Cr-release assay against a variety of target cells including natural killer (NK) sensitive K562 myeloid leukemia, NK-resistant Raji lymphoma cell lines, and fresh/cryopreserved leukemia cells from patients refractory to standard chemotherapy but not normal blood cells. Higher cytotoxic activity was obtained with a higher effector:target ratio at 100:1 greater than 50:1 greater than 25:1 (P less than 0.01) in each setting of different targets. Experiments involving cocultures of the LAK cells with either allogeneic (9) or autologous (3) bone marrow cells disclosed no detrimental effect on the committed hemopoietic stem cells by semisolid agar colony forming unit (CFU-GM) assay. The findings suggest that LAK cells may have a potential role for the in vitro purging of the residual leukemic cells from the marrow inoculum prepared for autologous bone marrow transplantation.
