The human fetal bone marrow B cell compartment of 14- to 21-wk gestational age was examined phenotypically and with respect to Ig H chain commitment and diversity. A dramatic expansion of fetal marrow B cell pools at 16- to 18-wk gestational age characterizes a rapid and concerted chain of differentiation events. Transiently up to 1/4 of nucleated marrow cells are CD20+/CD21+ cells which begin to express surface Ig other than IgM. Limiting dilution analysis of EBV-infected marrow cells delineated a virtually exclusive commitment to IgM production until 15 wk and the absolute and relative number of these cells were small (approximately 5% of comparable adult values). In parallel to the rapid increase in total B cell pools size, cells committed and able to secrete any of the five Ig isotypes are generated by 16-wk gestational age and by 18 wk the frequencies of these cells rapidly reach levels typical for adult peripheral tissue such as blood or lymph node. Fetal L chain diversity always anticipated that observed in adult serum. In addition to rising pool sizes and diverse IgH expression, EBV transformability is a major variable during this period of B cell development with up to 2/3 of B lineage cells transformable, about half of which are pre-B cells. By 21-wk gestational age transformable pre-B cells have disappeared and (as in adult tissue) approximately 10 to 20% of CD20+ cells are transformable. The rapid, concerted expression of full H chain diversity during a narrow period in fetal development is unique to marrow and implies a lymphopoietic process in a privileged site rather than an immunologic differentiation event. During this event, the relative proportions between the different IgH classes expressed, resembled that found in adult tissue, perhaps suggesting that B cell inherent programming rather than only antigenic forces determine heavy chain choice. The staggered expression, early in postnatal life, of IgH regions 3' of the C mu locus may reflect regulatory functions rather than inherent immaturity of the B lineage. 相似文献

Comparison of D, JH, and junctional diversity in the fetal, adult, and aged B cell repertoires. 总被引:21,自引:0,他引:21
Polymerase chain reaction-amplified cDNA libraries of the IgH genes of fetal, young adult, and aged BALB/c mice were sequenced so that the complimentarity determining region 3 (CDR3) in each could be analyzed. The results show extensive diversity in the CDR3 region in all three libraries examined. A prominent feature of the fetal repertoire is the lack of nucleotide region additions and shorter germline-derived D segments compared with the adult repertoires. Also of interest were distinct differences in D family and JH usage in the three libraries representing different stages of ontogeny. The absence of DFL16.2 in the fetal sequences analyzed was of particular note. Also of note was a substantial underutilization of the largest D family, DSP2, in the aged repertoire. The study provides further evidence that the Ig repertoire is developmentally regulated. In addition, the results indicate that several aspects of the recombination process are different in adult and fetal B lineage cells, suggesting that B cells present early in ontogeny are distinct from those present in the adult. 相似文献

IgM heavy chain complementarity-determining region 3 diversity is constrained by genetic and somatic mechanisms until two months after birth 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
Shiokawa S Mortari F Lima JO Nuñez C Bertrand FE Kirkham PM Zhu S Dasanayake AP Schroeder HW 《Journal of immunology (Baltimore, Md. : 1950)》1999,162(10):6060-6070
Due to the greater range of lengths available to the third complementarity determining region of the heavy chain (HCDR3), the Ab repertoire of normal adults includes larger Ag binding site structures than those seen in first and second trimester fetal tissues. Transition to a steady state range of HCDR3 lengths is not complete until the infant reaches 2 mo of age. Fetal constraints on length begin with a genetic predilection for use of short DH (D7-27 or DQ52) gene segments and against use of long DH (e.g., D3 or DXP) and JH (JH6) gene segments in both fetal liver and fetal bone marrow. Further control of length is achieved through DH-specific limitations in N addition, with D7-27 DJ joins including extensive N addition and D3-containing DJ joins showing a paucity of N addition. DH-specific constraints on N addition are no longer apparent in adult bone marrow. Superimposed upon these genetic mechanisms to control length is a process of somatic selection that appears to ensure expression of a restricted range of HCDR3 lengths in both fetus and adult. B cells that express Abs of an "inappropriate" length appear to be eliminated when they first display IgM on their cell surface. Control of N addition appears aberrant in X-linked agammaglobulinemia, which may exacerbate the block in B cell development seen in this disease. Restriction of the fetal repertoire appears to be an active process, forcing limits on the diversity, and hence range of Ab specificities, available to the young. 相似文献

Role of Oncostatin M in hematopoiesis and liver development 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11

Definitive hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) first appear in the aorta/gonad/mesonephros (AGM) region and migrate to the fetal liver where they massively produce hematopoietic cells before establishing hematopoiesis in the bone marrow at a perinatal stage. In the AGM region, Oncostatin M (OSM) enhances the development of both hematopoietic and endothelial cells by possibly stimulating their common precursors, so-called hemangioblasts. During development of HSCs in the AGM region, the liver primodium is formed at the foregut and accepts HSCs. While fetal hepatic cells function as hematopoietic microenvironment for expansion of hematopoietic cells during mid to late gestation, they do not possess most of the metabolic functions of adult liver. Along with the expansion of hematopoietic cells in fetal liver, OSM is produced by hematopoietic cells and induces differentiation of fetal hepatic cells, conferring various metabolic activities of adult liver. Matured hepatic cells then lose the ability to support hematopoiesis. Thus, OSM appears to coordinate the development of liver and hematopoiesis in the fetus. 相似文献

VlambdaJlambda rearrangements obtained from genomic DNA of individual IgM(+) B cells from human fetal spleen were analyzed. A nonrandom pattern of lambda gene rearrangements that differed from the adult Vlambda repertoire was found. The Vlambda distal genes 8A and 4B were absent from the nonproductive fetal repertoire, whereas 2E and 3L were overrepresented and 1B was underrepresented in the productive fetal repertoire. Positive selection of the Vlambda gene, 2E, along with Vlambda rearrangements employing homologous VlambdaJlambda joins were observed in the fetal, but not in the adult Vlambda repertoire. Overrepresentation of Jlambda distal cluster C genes rearranging to the Vlambda distal J segment, Jlambda7, in both productive and nonproductive fetal repertoires suggested that receptor editing/replacement was more active in the fetus than in adults. Numerous identical VlambdaJlambda junctions were observed in both the productive and nonproductive repertoire of the fetus and adult, but were significantly more frequent in the productive repertoire of the fetus, suggesting expansion of B cells expressing particular lambda-light chains in both stages of development, with more profound expansion in the fetal repertoire. Notably, B cells expressing identical lambda-light chains expressed diverse heavy chains. These data demonstrate that three mechanisms strongly influence the shaping of the human fetal lambda-chain repertoire that are less evident in the adult: positive selection, receptor editing, and expansion of B cells expressing specific lambda-light chains. These events imply that the expressed fetal repertoire is shaped by exposure to self Ags. 相似文献

Natural Abs (NAbs) are Igs present in the serum and body fluids of healthy vertebrate animals, without any previous intentional immunization. NAbs often exhibit autoreactivity but also play an essential role in immunity, being a first line of defense against infectious microorganisms. We have previously analyzed the natural serum IgM Ab repertoire of normal mice, characterizing their reactivity with hundreds/thousands of self Ags; a significant similarity among different individuals was observed, and it was found that many reactivities of NAbs stably kept during adulthood were established early in life, implicating that period as a critical time window in the physiology of NAb repertoire selection. In the work reported here, experiments were conducted to address the role of normal lymphocyte ontogeny to the formation and stability of adult NAb repertoire. The massive destruction of the lymphoid system was promoted in adult mice with gamma-irradiation, and regeneration of hemopoietic tissues was granted by bone marrow or fetal liver inoculum. NAb repertoire regeneration was followed for 60 days after gamma-irradiation in bone marrow or fetal liver chimeric animals. The analysis of serum IgM reactivity with hundreds/thousands of self Ags showed that the NAb repertoire regenerated most of its original format after massive destruction of lymphoid compartments, characterizing autoreactive repertoire selection as a robust biological process. The data also show that regeneration of the NAb repertoire occurred similarly in fetal liver and bone marrow chimeras, although the latter animals poorly reconstituted their CD5(+) B1 cell compartment, suggesting that B1 cells are not essential for natural Ab regeneration. 相似文献

CD41 expression defines the onset of primitive and definitive hematopoiesis in the murine embryo 总被引:24,自引:0,他引:24

The platelet glycoprotein IIb (alpha(IIb); CD41) constitutes the alpha subunit of a highly expressed platelet surface integrin protein. We demonstrate that CD41 serves as the earliest marker of primitive erythroid progenitor cells in the embryonic day 7 (E7.0) yolk sac and high-level expression identifies essentially all E8.25 yolk sac definitive hematopoietic progenitors. Some definitive hematopoietic progenitor cells in the fetal liver and bone marrow also express CD41. Hematopoietic stem cell competitive repopulating ability is present in CD41(dim) and CD41(lo/-) cells isolated from bone marrow and fetal liver cells, however, activity is enriched in the CD41(lo/-) cells. CD41(bright) yolk sac definitive progenitor cells co-express CD61 and bind fibrinogen, demonstrating receptor function. Thus, CD41 expression marks the onset of primitive and definitive hematopoiesis in the murine embryo and persists as a marker of some stem and progenitor cell populations in the fetal liver and adult marrow, suggesting novel roles for this integrin. 相似文献

The fetal liver serves as the predominant hematopoietic organ until birth. However, the mechanisms underlying this link between hematopoiesis and hepatogenesis are unclear. Previously, we reported the isolation of a monoclonal antibody (anti-Liv8) that specifically recognizes an antigen (Liv8) present in murine fetal livers at embryonic day 11.5 (E11.5). Liv8 is a cell surface molecule expressed by hematopoietic cells in both fetal liver and adult mouse bone marrow. Here, we report that Liv8 is also transiently expressed by hepatoblasts at E11.5. Using protein purification and mass spectrometry, we have identified Liv8 as the CD44 protein. Interestingly, the expression of Liv8/CD44 in fetal liver was completely lost in AML1−/− murine embryos, which lack definitive hematopoiesis. These results show that hepatoblasts change from Liv8/CD44-negative to Liv8/CD44-positive status in a hematopoiesis-dependent manner by E11.5, and indicate that Liv8/CD44 expression is an important link between hematopoiesis and hepatogenesis during fetal liver development. 相似文献

Ontogeny-specific differences in hematopoietic behavior may be influenced by unique adhesive interactions between hematopoietic cells and the microenvironment, such as that mediated by vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1, CD 106). Although VCAM-1 is variably expressed during vertebrate development, we hypothesized that VCAM-1 expression might be linked to the enhanced capacity of the fetal liver microenvironment to support hematopoiesis. To test this we used immortalized murine stromal cell lines derived from midgestation fetal liver and adult bone marrow to compare the functional expression of VCAM-1. Molecular analysis of VCAM-1 expression was performed on stromal cell lines using Northern blot analysis, immunoprecipitation studies, and solid-phase enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Hematopoietic studies were performed by coculturing fetal liver cells with stromal cell lines, and the functional readout was determined by high-proliferative potential colony-forming cell (HPP-CFC) adherence assays. In contrast to our initial hypothesis, we observed greater expression of VCAM-1 messenger ribonucleic acid and protein on an adult marrow stromal cell line. In functional studies, anti-VCAM-1 antibody inhibited the binding of nearly half of the HPP-CFCs to adult marrow stroma but had a minimal effect on their binding to fetal liver stroma, despite the greater adherence of HPP-CFCs to fetal stroma. We conclude that VCAM-1 influences the hematopoietic supportive capacity of immortalized murine stroma derived from adult bone marrow. Our studies suggest that cellular interactions other than those mediated by VCAM-1 are involved in the increased adhesive capacity of immortalized murine stroma derived from fetal liver. 相似文献

Expression of CD41 on hematopoietic progenitors derived from embryonic hematopoietic cells 总被引:17,自引:0,他引:17

In this study, we have characterized the early steps of hematopoiesis during embryonic stem cell differentiation. The immunophenotype of hematopoietic progenitor cells derived from murine embryonic stem cells was determined using a panel of monoclonal antibodies specific for hematopoietic differentiation antigens. Surprisingly, the CD41 antigen (alphaIIb integrin, platelet GPIIb), essentially considered to be restricted to megakaryocytes, was found on a large proportion of cells within embryoid bodies although very few megakaryocytes were detected. In clonogenic assays, more than 80% of all progenitors (megakaryocytic, granulo-macrophagic, erythroid and pluripotent) derived from embryoid bodies expressed the CD41 antigen. CD41 was the most reliable marker of early steps of hematopoiesis. However, CD41 remained a differentiation marker because some CD41(-) cells from embryoid bodies converted to CD41(+) hematopoietic progenitors, whereas the inverse switch was not observed. Immunoprecipitation and western blot analysis confirmed that CD41 was present in cells from embryoid bodies associated with CD61 (beta3 integrin, platelet GPIIIa) in a complex. Analysis of CD41 expression during ontogeny revealed that most yolk sac and aorta-gonad-mesonephros hematopoietic progenitor cells were also CD41(+), whereas only a minority of bone marrow and fetal liver hematopoietic progenitors expressed this antigen. Differences in CD34 expression were also observed: hematopoietic progenitor cells from embryoid bodies, yolk sac and aorta-gonad-mesonephros displayed variable levels of CD34, whereas more than 90% of fetal liver and bone marrow progenitor cells were CD34(+). Thus, these results demonstrate that expression of CD41 is associated with early stages of hematopoiesis and is highly regulated during hematopoietic development. Further studies concerning the adhesive properties of hematopoietic cells are required to assess the biological significance of these developmental changes. 相似文献

In the present study the capacity of early fetal B cells to produce Ig was investigated. It is shown that B cells from fetal liver, spleen, and bone marrow (BM) can be induced to produce IgM, IgG, IgG4, and IgE, but not IgA, in response to IL-4 in the presence of anti-CD40 mAb or cloned CD4+ T cells. Even splenic B cells from a human fetus of only 12 wk of gestation produced these Ig isotypes. IFN-alpha, IFN-gamma, and transforming growth factor-beta inhibited IL-4-induced IgE production in fetal B cells, as described for mature B cells. The majority of B cells in fetal spleen expressed CD5 and CD10 and greater than 99% of B cells in fetal BM were CD10+. Highly purified CD10+, CD19+ immature B cells and CD5+, CD19+ B cells could be induced to produce Ig, including IgG4 and IgE, in similar amounts as unseparated CD19+ B cells. Virtually all CD19+ cells still expressed CD10 after 12 days of culture. However, the IgE-producing cells at the end of the culture period were found in the CD19-,CD10- cell population, suggesting differentiation of CD19+,CD10+ B cells into CD19-,CD10- plasma cells. Pre-B cells are characterized by their lack of expression of surface IgM (sIgM). Only 30 to 40% of BM B cells expressed sIgM. However, in contrast to sIgM+,CD10+,CD19+ immature B cells, sorted sIgM-,CD10+,CD19+ pre-B cells failed to differentiate into Ig-secreting cells under the present culture conditions. Addition of IL-6 to these cultures was ineffective. Taken together, these results indicate that fetal CD5+ and CD10+ B cells are mature in their capacity to be induced to Ig isotype switching in vitro as soon as they express sIgM. 相似文献

Analysis of 10 cDNA encoding lambda L chains of horse Ig indicated that this species may employ a relatively small number of variable region (V lambda) genes in the splenic B cell population. The V lambda sequences of all of the cDNA analyzed were closely related (> 88% identity at the nucleotide level) and were characterized by a deletion of the amino acid residue at position 3 compared with V lambda sequences so far described in other species. The 10 V lambda sequences could be grouped into three groups, V lambda 1 to V lambda 3, on the basis of a number of linked substitutions. Sequences within the groups showed the greatest divergence in the third cdr regions and at the V-J junctions. The junctional variation included amino acid substitutions on both sides of the V-J junction as well as the insertion or deletion of two to four amino acid residues. Four C lambda genes were identified in genomic blots of horse DNA, and three of these were found expressed in splenic cDNA. The fourth C lambda gene may represent a pseudogene, inasmuch as the associated J region possessed a defective heptamer joining sequence. Six of the nine possible V lambda-C lambda combinations were found in the cDNA analyzed, suggesting that genes belonging to groups V lambda 1 through V lambda 3 may rearrange to any one of three J lambda-C lambda genes. One V lambda germline gene was characterized and found to represent a distinct V lambda group (V lambda 4), not represented in the cDNA sequences analyzed. The number of germline V lambda genes was estimated to be 20 to 30, based on analysis of restriction fragments hybridizing with V lambda probes. On the basis of these data, we propose that the V lambda repertoire in horse may consist of relatively limited number of genes, of which only a few may be used at high frequency in the splenic B cell population. The results indicate that predominance of lambda-chains in horse Ig may not simply be due to the presence of a large germline V lambda gene repertoire. 相似文献

The immune system is composed of two major types of lymphocytes, called B and T cells, that recognize foreign antigens. Recognition of antigens is accomplished through the generation of a large repertoire of different cell surface receptors, called immunoglobulins (Igs) on B cells and T cell receptors (TCRs) on T cells. The elucidation of Ig structure and molecular genetics preceded that of the TCR because of the greater abundance of Ig protein and mRNA. Although studies of TCRs have recently shed light on many of the issues of T cell recognition, the process of examining TCR gene structure has been tedious. Such analyses are also difficult because of the time required for the production, maintenance, and culturing of T cell clones. This report describes several strategies that use the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to analyze very rapidly the structure of TCRs. Specific manipulations of the amplified material are discussed, as are the advantages of using the PCR to study TCR diversity. 相似文献

In vertebrates the extraembryonic mesoderm of the yolk sac (YS) is the first site during embryogenesis where morphologically discernible hematopoiesis may be found. Later hematopoiesis shifts into the embryo proper, first to the liver, the major fetal hematopoietic site, then to definitive hematopoietic territories, the spleen and bone marrow. It is widely accepted that in the mouse this picture reflects the migration of pluripotent hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) from the YS accompanied by subsequent colonization of the hematopoietic tissues during embryogenesis. However, there is no conclusive evidence showing unequivocally the initiating role of the YS in murine adult hematopoiesis. Recently, we have demonstrated the important role of embryo body tissues in the development of CFU-S before the establishment of definitive hematopoiesis in the fetal liver. This finding suggests that the early development of the hematopoietic system in the mouse is more complex than has been previously proposed and we consider here the early hematopoietic events in the developing mouse embryo. 相似文献

Amphibians represent the first phylogenetic group to possess hematopoietic bone marrow. However, adult amphibian hematopoiesis
has only been described in a few species and with conflicting data. Bone marrow, kidney, spleen, liver, gut, stomach, lung,
tegument, and heart were therefore collected from adult Lithobates catesbeianus and investigated by light microscopy and immunohistochemical methods under confocal laser microscopy. Our study demonstrated
active hematopoiesis in the bone marrow of vertebrae, femur, and fingers and in the kidney, but no hematopoietic activity
inside other organs including the spleen and liver. Blood cells were identified as a heterogeneous cell population constituted
by heterophils, basophils, eosinophils, monocytes, erythrocytic cells, lymphocytes, and their precursors. Cellular islets
of the thrombocytic lineage occurred near sinusoids of the bone marrow. Antibodies against CD34, CD117, stem cell antigen,
erythropoietin receptor, and the receptor for granulocyte colony-stimulating factor identified some cell populations, and
some circulating immature cells were seen in the bloodstream. Thus, on the basis of these phylogenetic features, we propose
that L. catesbeianus can be used as an important model for hematopoietic studies, since this anuran exhibits hematopoiesis characteristics both
of lower vertebrates (renal hematopoiesis) and of higher vertebrates (bone marrow hematopoiesis). 相似文献

Leu-1+ (CD5+) B cells. A major lymphoid subpopulation in human fetal spleen: phenotypic and functional studies 总被引:14,自引:0,他引:14
J H Antin S G Emerson P Martin N Gadol K A Ault 《Journal of immunology (Baltimore, Md. : 1950)》1986,136(2):505-510
Examination of the cell surface phenotype of fetal splenic lymphocytes demonstrated a major, novel subpopulation of B cells that co-express Leu-1 (CD5) in addition to B cell differentiation antigens (Leu-1+ B cells). These cells are similar to some conventional B cells in that they express HLA-DR, Leu-12, and B1, as well as both immunoglobulin (Ig) M and IgD. They comprise 40 to 60% of total splenic B cells in the fetus but are infrequent in fetal liver and adult spleen. Fetal Leu-1+ B cells do not respond to pokeweed mitogen with either proliferation or Ig secretion, and in contrast to the murine counterpart, Ly-1 B cells, they do not constitutively produce Ig. Leu-1+ B cells were incapable of augmenting Ig production of Leu-1- B cells when suboptimal numbers of T cells were present; however, they did require the presence of T cells to secrete antibody. They do not cap either the CD5 protein or surface Ig. These cells are a unique subpopulation of fetal splenic B cells that do not function as conventional B cells. Their role in the humoral immune response is unknown. They may represent the normal stage of B cell development, which is reflected in the phenotype of B cell CLL cells. 相似文献
