We investigated a haemopoietic stromal defect, in mice heterozygous for the Slj allele, during haemopoietic stress induced by treatment with bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS) or lethal total body irradiation (TBI) and bone-marrow cell (BMC) reconstitution. Both treatments resulted in a comparable haemopoietic stem cell (CFU-s) proliferation in Slj/+ and +/+ haemopoietic organs. There was no difference in committed haemopoietic progenitor cell (BFU-e and CFU-G/M) kinetics after TBI and +/+ bone-marrow transplantation in Slj/+ and +/+ mice. the Slj/+ mice were deficient in their ability to support macroscopic spleen colony formation (65% of +/+ controls) as measured at 7 and 10 days after BMC transplantation. However, the Slj/+ spleen colonies contained the same number of BFU-E and CFU-G/M as colonies from +/+ spleens, while their CFU-s content was increased. On day 10 post-transplantation, the macroscopic ‘missing’ colonies could be detected at the microscopic level. These small colonies contained far fewer CFU-s than the macroscopic detectable colonies. Analysis of CFU-s proliferation-inducing activities in control and post-LPS sera revealed that Slj/+ mice are normal in their ability to produce and to respond to humoral stem-cell regulators. We postulate that Slj/+ mice have a normal number of splenic stromal ‘niches’ for colony formation. However, 35% of these niches is defective in its proliferative support. 相似文献

Slj/+ mice display a slight macrocytic anaemia due to a defect in their haemopoietic organ stroma. They have a deficient endogenous spleen colony (CFU-end) formation following sublethal doses of gamma-radiation compared with their normal +/+ littermates, which is likely to be due to the low pre-irradiation CFU-S content of the Slj/+ spleen. CFU-S in these congenic mice do not differ in their sensitivity to gamma-irradiation or stem cell-activating factor. While injection of +/+ mice with 10 micrograms of lipopolysaccharide-W (LPS) one day prior to irradiation led to a substantial increase in their survival, the survival of Slj/+ mice was only slightly increased. Irradiation induced a similar dose-related reduction in the numbers of CFU-S in the spleen and femora of LPS-injected Slj/+ mice compared to similarly treated +/+ mice when measured directly after irradiation. At Day 9 after irradiation, injection of LPS led to a significantly higher CFU-end formation and higher numbers of CFU-S and nucleated cells in the Slj/+ spleens compared to LPS-injected +/+ mice. No such differences in the radioprotective effect of LPS were observed in the +/+ and Slj/+ mice with respect to the splenic and femoral 59Fe-incorporation and the femoral CFU-S numbers at Day 9. These data strongly suggest a contribution by immigrating CFU-S to the CFU-S numbers and endogenous colony formation in at least the Slj/+ spleen after LPS injection and subsequent sublethal irradiation. The observations also imply that the splenic organ stroma may play a mediatory role in the radioprotective action of LPS. In addition, the data represent an extreme example of a lack of correlation between animal survival and haemopoietic parameters. Caution should be taken when applying endogenous colony counts as a means of screening potential anti-radiation drugs. 相似文献

Abstract Abstract. A tentative characterization of haemopoietic stem cells with respect to their organ distribution, seeding fraction and colony formation in the spleen, radiosen-sitivity and humoral regulation was attempted in mice heterozygous for the mutant allele SlJ and in their normal littermates. SlJ/+ mice were characterized by a deficient CFU-s content of the blood and spleen and had slightly lower femoral CFU-s numbers. This CFU-s distribution could not be explained by differences in seeding efficiency ‘f’ between CFU-s of SlJ/+ and +/+ origin in lethally irradiated recipients used in the CFU-s assay. the seeding fraction of CFU-s of +/+ origin did not differ in +/+ and SlJ/+ recipients. However, in irradiated SIJ/+ recipient mice a 30% decrease was observed in the number of the colonies derived from splenic and femoral CFU-s of both +/+ and SlJ/+ origin. the serum level of SHSF (splenic haemopoiesis stimulating factor) was decreased in SlJ/+ mice, but significantly increased in Sl/Sld mice, as compared to their respective normal +/+ littermates. Endogenous colony formation in SlJ/+ spleens was deficient in comparison to that observed in +/+ spleens, and distinct sex differences were observed. However, mutant and normal CFU-s from spleen and bone marrow had a similar survival following in-vitro y irradiation. Femurs and spleens of both SlJ/+ and +/+ origin were implanted into both SlJ/+ and +/+ hosts. Six weeks later the SlJ/+ grafts contained less CFU-s than the +/+ grafts. These data show that the splenic stroma of SlJ/+ mice is not defective in its capacity to lodge injected CFU-s but is deficient in its ability to maintain CFU-s under ‘steady-state’ conditions and stimulate their colony formation in a ‘perturbed state’. Some of the characteristics of SlJ/+ mice segregate them from Sl/Sld mice, i.e. a deficient splenic CFU-s content, normal seeding fractions ‘f’ of CFU-s from spleen and bone marrow in the presence of an almost compensated anemia, and decreased serum levels of SHSF. the study of the SlJ trait may be a useful extension of the current Sl/Sld model for exploration of hereditary defects in haematopoietic stroma. 相似文献

Abstract In the early periods (7–9 days) after haemopoietic cell injection, colonies produced by CFU-s and by their progeny are identified in the spleen, while at later periods (11 days after injection) only spleen nodules produced by CFU-s persist. the increase in the suicide values of CFU-s after sublethal (2 Gy) irradiation of mice is associated with a higher proliferation rate of precursors of transitory spleen colonies, but not of CFU-s, as measured by different suicide techniques. During the log-phase of cell growth in a lethally irradiated recipient, the injected CFU-s and CFU-tr proliferate at a higher rate. Active proliferation of CFU-s and CFU-tr has been demonstrated in long-term bone-marrow cultures by the hydroxyurea in-vitro suicide assay. CFU-tr may be the cause of artifactual effects during measurement of haemopoietic stem-cell cycling by CFU-s suicide methods. 相似文献

The proportion of spleen colony-forming units (CFU-s) killed by hydroxyurea was greatly increased after bone marrow cells (BMCs) from LACA mice were exposed to carbamylcholine (Cach; 1 X 10(-13) to 1 X 10(-9) in vitro and there was a marked change in the proportion of spleen colony types. Following treatment with Cach, granulocytic and mixed erythroid-type colonies increased from 20 to 26.3% and 16.1 to 29.6% in 9-day colonies and from 8.3 to 28.2% and 21.7 to 39.4% in 13-day colonies, respectively. Single cell suspensions of spleen colonies were made for granulocyte-macrophage progenitor (CFU-gm) and late erythroid progenitor (CFU-e) assays. The number of CFU-gm from Cach-treated BMC was about twice that from control BMC for both day 9 and day 13 groups; the number of CFU-e decreased relatively. The results suggest that cholinergic receptors on CFU-s may increase the tendency to differentiate into the granulocytic/monocytic line. 相似文献

The erythropietin sensitivities of dissociated cell cultures and explanted fragments of fetal livers of congenitally anaemic Slj/Slj mice, and their normal littermates, have been compared. The erythropoietin responsiveness of Slj/Slj foetal liver cells is deficient in both types of culture. The maximum liver complement of erythroid colony forming cells (CFUe) occurs on the 16th day of development when 'normal' livers contain approximately 6 X 10(5) erythroid colony forming cells/liver. In Slj/Slj fetuses the maximum reached is only 1 X 10(5). Granulocyte-macrophage colony forming cells (CFUc) in Slj/Slj fetal livers are also reduced to approximately 60% of normal numbers. Erythroid colony forming cells are also reduced in the spleen and femoral bone marrow of Slj/Slj mice in the 2-3 days preceding birth. Granulocyte-macrophage colony forming cells are rare in the femoral marrow of pre-natal Slj/Slj mice, but their production in the Slj/Slj pre-natal spleen appears unaffected. 相似文献

In vivo studies on the regeneration kinetics of enriched populations of haemopoietic spleen colony-forming cells from normal bone marrow 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Functional properties of mouse haemopoietic spleen colony-forming cells, enriched 40- to 80-fold, from normal bone marrow were studied. It was found that: (1) the number of partially purified CFU-s (colony forming unit-spleen) required to rescue lethally irradiated mice was similar to the number of normal unfractionated bone marrow CFU-s giving the same level of protection; (2) the homing of partially purified CFU-s was similar to that of CFU-s from unfractionated bone marrow; (3) the regeneration of CFU-s in spleen was similar for enriched and unfractionated cell populations between 4 and 11 days after transplantation. In contrast, the rate of regeneration of CFU-s in femur was slower with enriched progenitor cells than with unfractionated bone marrow. The growth rate in femur, however, could be restored to normal by injecting freshly isolated syngeneic thymocytes with the enriched CFU-s population. The results indicate that the partially purified CFU-s are by themselves functionally normal and show that the rate of CFU-s repopulation in bone marrow can be affected by cell types other than spleen colony-forming cells. 相似文献

An inhibitor and stimulator of CFU-s proliferation can be obtained from haemopoietic tissue containing, respectively, relatively quiescent CFU-s (e.g. normal bone marrow) and proliferating CFU-s (e.g. regenerating bone marrow). Their effects on the proliferative behaviour of steady-state and regenerating marrow CFU-s, which produce colonies 7, 10 and 12 days post-transplantation have been investigated. The results demonstrate changing sensitivities of CFU-s to inhibitor and stimulator as they progress through a developmental age structure, 'Older' CFU-s (producing early spleen colonies) are more sensitive to stimulator, 'Younger' CFU-s (producing late spleen colonies) are more sensitive to inhibitor. 相似文献

The spleen colony technique. I. Correction for the overlap effect and sources of error in CFU-s determination 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A linear model for the errors of the 'spleen colony' assay for haemopoietic stem cells has been derived. The components emerging from the model are interpreted and practical recommendations given for interpreting measurements made with this assay. The model permits correction for the effect of overlapping colonies and gives average errors for single measurements of the number of CFU-s. More reliable and more precise information can be obtained using this model. The spleen colony technique detects a population of immature precursor cells designated as CFU-s (Till & McCulloch, 1961). The relative error of measurement is often large when compared with the changes in the phenomena studied. Consequently a better knowledge of the errors of this technique is highly desirable. This paper should be regarded as an extension of the previous analysis of Till (1972). The theory for the errors of the spleen colony technique was applied to 905 determinations of the CFU-s numbers performed on random-bred mice. Data from random-bred mice rather than those from inbred mice have been used because the error components can be expected to be larger and, consequently, more easily detectable. The model of errors has also been validated using data published by Till (1972) and has subsequently been applied to data from several inbred mice strains (Znojil & Necas, 1988). 相似文献

Haemopoiesis in mammals takes place in yolk-sac and in mouse it can be detected on the 7th day of gestation. Erythropoietin (EPO) responsive cells can be detected from 7th day onwards. However, the cells committed to the myeloid lineage which can respond to the haemopoietic growth factor (viz. granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor; GM-CSF) can be demonstrated only on 10th day of gestation. At the same time, the 12-day spleen colony forming cells i.e. the late colony forming unit spleen (CFU-s) which are multipotent stem cells can also be detected. Data suggest that the stem cells seen in the embryo from 7-10 days of gestation may be a primitive population confined only to the yolk-sac. Liver haemopoiesis which begins in the liver of 13-day embryos is due to primitive haemopoietic pluripotent stem cells, arising de novo in the embryo and not in the yolk-sac, since no primitive pluripotent stem cells capable of repopulating lethally irradiated bone-marrow can be detected in the yolk-sac. 相似文献

Cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) morphology and function was examined in beige (bg/bg) mutant mice during infection with lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV). Virus-specific, class I-restricted CTL activity mediated by total spleen leukocytes isolated from bg/+ or +/+ mice on days 7 or 9 postinfection with LCMV was moderately higher than that mediated by spleen cells isolated from bg/bg mice. The CTL generated in bg/bg mice had aberrant morphology. Lyt-2+ cells isolated from bg/+ or +/+ mice had typical large granular lymphocyte (LGL) morphology and contained numerous small azurophilic granules, whereas Lyt-2+ cells isolated from bg/bg mice contained only one or two large atypical granules in their cytoplasm. Aberrant LGL morphology correlated with reduced lytic capacity. The bg/bg CTL were inefficient killer cells mediating, on a per cell basis, only one fourth of the lysis mediated by bg/+ CTL. The bg/bg mice appeared to mount a compensatory response to regulate virus replication, because frequencies of Lyt-2+ cells and cells that specifically bound to virus-infected target cells were elevated as compared with their frequencies in bg/+ mice. The higher proportion of the CTL phenotype cells appeared to be a consequence of expanded proliferation of Lyt-2+ cells. These results demonstrate that, in comparison with bg/+ and +/+ mice, bg/bg mice have CTL with reduced lytic capacities, but may compensate during virus infection by expanding the number of these cells. Furthermore, these data suggest that the depressed lytic activity may be a consequence of aberrant granule formation. 相似文献

Medium conditioned by human peripheral blood leukocytes (HLCM) was studied for its in vitro effects on haemopoietic progenitor cells (CFU-s and CFU-c) present in mouse bone marrow. HLCM has poor colony stimulating activity in semi-solid cultures of mouse bone marrow cells, but invariably increases the number of colonies obtained in the presence of plateau levels of semi-purified colony stimulating factor (CSF). In liquid cultures, HLCM appears to contain a potent initiator of DNA synthesis in CFU-s, an activity which coincides with an increased CFU-s maintenance and causes a three- to four-fold increase in CFU-c number. It is apparent from this study that HLCM, in addition to stimulating colony formation in cultures of human bone marrow cells, has a profound in vitro effect on primitive haemopoietic progenitor cells of the mouse, which cannot be attributed to CSF. 相似文献

If the limited life span of hematopoietic tissues in vitro is due to a finite proliferative capacity of individual stem cells, one might expect tissues of young donors to possess a greater proliferative capacity and to contain a larger population of primitive stem cells than those of older donors. To test this hypothesis, we used 12- and 8-day spleen colony formation (CFU-s) to assay more and less primitive stem cell subpopulations of three murine hematopoietic tissues: fetal liver (FL) and weanling (WBM) and adult (ABM) bone marrow. Subsequently, the same assays and a stromal cell assay were performed on the bone marrow from groups of lethally irradiated mice reconstituted with these tissues. Comparison of the CFU-s content of the donor tissues revealed that FL contained a significantly greater proportion of primitive stem cells as evidenced by a (Day 12):(Day 8) CFU-s ratio of 3.0 +/- 1.0 as compared to 0.9 +/- 0.1 for WBM and ABM. In addition, at 21 weeks post-transplantation the CFU-s/femur values of the FL reconstituted group were significantly greater than those of the ABM and WBM reconstituted groups. These results suggest that fetal hematopoietic tissue contains a greater proportion of primitive stem cells and has a greater proliferative potential than hematopoietic tissue from older donors. No differences were seen in stromal cell reconstitution of the three experimental groups. In all cases, assayable fibroblast colony forming cells (CFU-f) remained at 20-40% of control values, even at 21 weeks postreconstitution. 相似文献

Using a single spleen colony transplantation technique and sex chromosome typing as a natural cytogenetic marker, most spleen colony-forming cells (CFC) in adult bone marrow or fetal livers of inbred LACA or C57 mice re-established hemopoiesis in lethally irradiated mice when the spleen colonies were sampled at 13 days after transplantation. However, most of the spleen colony-forming cells in the peripheral blood of normal mice possess little potential for proliferation and are less efficient in the re-establishment of hemopoiesis in lethally irradiated mice. The CFC population is heterogeneous in the mice. From the subsequent retransplantation of colonies from colony-forming cells in the peripheral blood, the simple assessment of spleen colony-forming units (CFU-s) content, based on the number of splenic colonies, does not reliably represent the content of hemopoietic stem cells. 相似文献

Two types of CFU-s different in the size of their colonies have been found in the liver of 14 day old mice embryo. Statistic processing of the data allowed to prove that large spleen colonies are formed directly by CFU-s, whereas small colonies are formed by pre-CFU-s which undergo preliminary proliferation and only the stochastically differentiate into CFU-s. Approximate concentration of pre-CFU-s constitutes 2.67 per 10(5) embryo liver cells. 相似文献

Abstract. The presence or absence of haemopoietic precursors, which produce mixed colonies in vitro (CFU-mix) was examined in the bone marrow and spleen of (WB x C57BL/6) F1- W/Wv mice. Despite the failure of macroscopically evident colonyformation in the spleens of irradiated mice, haemopoietic cells of W/Wv mice did produce macroscopically-evident mixed colonies containing erythroid cells, macrophages, and often megakaryocytes, in culture medium. The size and constitution of mixed colonies derived from W/Wv mice were comparable to those of mixed colonies from congenic +/+ mice. The present results appear consistent with in vivo haemopoiesis in the W/Wv mice, which is obviously deficient, but sufficient for survival. 相似文献

The colony-forming ability of haematopoietic cells was examined on the macrophage layer formed in the peritoneal cavity of S1/S1d mice. The bone marrow cells of the congenic +/+ mice formed many macroscopic colonies on the macrophage layer of the S1/S1d mice although they did not form macroscopic colonies in the spleens of the same S1/S1d recipients. The size and the differentiation pattern of colonies on the macrophage layer of the S1/S1d mice were comparable to those of the colonies on the macrophage layer of the +/+ mice. There are two possible explanations for these results: (a) The microenvironmental defect of the S1/S1d mice has a more prominent effect on the development of spleen colonies than that of macrophage-layer colonies because 'Steel' locus may not be expressed significantly in the peritoneal macrophages or (b) because the cells that make colonies on the macrophage layer may be more differentiated cells than the multipotential stem cells that make colonies in the spleen. 相似文献
