小鼠造血干细胞增殖与分化性能的研究

本文选择Ｙ染色体特异的性别决定基因作为新的细胞遗传标志,采用ＰＣＲ技术研究了小鼠造血干细胞的增殖与分化性能。将雄鼠骨髓细胞输注给经致死剂量射线照射的雌性受体小鼠、ＰＣＲ测试结果表明,所有ＣＦＵ－Ｓ均为供体起源。供体来源的ＣＦＵ－Ｓ在其输入体内后,可通过增殖,分化形成各系造血细胞,但ＣＦＵ－Ｓ中的纤维母细胞和ＣＦＵ－Ｓ重建造血后受体小鼠骨髓中的纤维母细胞均为受体起源。由此可见,小鼠骨髓中的ＣＦＣ－Ｓ     

CuBr激光对造血细胞增殖的影响

本文介绍了ＣｕＢｒ激光的功率和照射时间对造血细胞增殖作用的影响,有利于对激光刺激造血细胞增殖机制的认识。造血细胞由ＢＡＬＢ／ｃ鼠的骨髓和胎肝制备而成。在低功率（２０ｍＷ／ｃｍ２）５７８．２ｎｍ激光照射１００秒时,使胎肝造血细胞增殖６．５倍,随照射时间增长,增殖效率将趋向饱和,并略有下降;在定时１２０秒照射时,随５１０．６ｎｍ的激光照射功率增大,激光对骨髓造血细胞的增殖作用变为抑制作用。     

人骨髓CD34^＋造血细胞体外扩增形成HPP—CFC造血祖细胞的能力

目的和方法：高增殖潜能集落形成细胞（ＨＰＰＣＦＣ）是表达ＣＤ３４＋ＤＲＬｉｎ－的最早期造血祖细胞之一,它在体外的增殖分化能力可反映造血干细胞的某些特征。结果：本文研究了人正常骨髓ＣＤ３４＋造血细胞在体外扩增和形成ＨＰＰＣＦＣ的能力。利用ＣＩＭＳ１００免疫磁性分离术首先获得＞９０％的ＣＤ３４＋造血细胞以富集ＨＰＰＣＦＣ。在含有Ｅｐｏ＋ＧＭＣＳＦ＋ＩＬ３＋ＩＬ６＋ＳＣＦ（简ＥＧＩＩＳ）的无基质液培条件下,ＣＤ３４＋造血细胞在四周内可持续产生单个核细胞和ＨＰＰＣＦＣ,并使其总量最高可达１７７０倍和８倍,以第２和３周为最佳时期,但不同个体ＣＤ３４＋造血细胞的这种能力差别较大。结论：高度纯化的人骨髓ＣＤ３４＋造血细胞能够在含有最佳组合造血生长因子的无基质液培条件下持续扩增,为临床应用提供了重要依据。     

不同冷冻条件对骨髓造血细胞的CFU－GM形成能力及DNA活性的影响

本文对不同冷冻条件下人骨髓造血细胞的粒单系集落（ＣＦＵ－ＧＭ）形成能力及ＤＮＡ活性变化进行测定。结果证明：室温下低温保护剂二甲基亚砜（ＤＭＳＯ）使骨髓造血细胞形成ＣＦＵ－ＧＭ的能力下降;程序降温至－８０℃与降至－８０℃后与在液氮内冻存７天骨髓造血细胞相比较,二者形成ＣＦＵ－ＧＭ的能力以及ＤＮＡ活性均无明显变化;在程序降温过程中,消除融合热释放组骨髓造血细胞形成ＣＦＵ－ＧＭ的能力明显高于来消除融合热释放组。     

重组IL－6与IL－3或／和GM－CSF合用对正常BN大鼠粒单系体外造血的调控效应

本研究探讨了重组人ＩＬ－６与大鼠ＩＬ－３和／或小鼠ＧＭ－ＣＳＦ结合对正常ＢＮ大鼠粒单系体外造血的调控效应。结果表明,ＩＬ－６在１０００－４０００Ｕ／ｍｌ呈剂量依赖性刺激粒系造血祖细胞集落形成及骨髓细胞的ＤＮＡ合成,集落以ＧＭ型为主,其刺激活性低于ＩＬ－３或ＣＭ－ＣＳＦ。ｌＬ－６与ＩＬ－３和／或ＧＭ－ＣＳＦ的结合对粒单系集落形成及ＤＮＡ合成无协同或相加作用,甚至出现拮抗效应,但却显著增大集落。提示ＩＬ－６可能具有双向调控作用,促进早期造血细胞的增殖,拮抗其它因子对晚期粒单系造血的刺激作用;具有重叠生物效应的这３种细胞因子在调控造血时,它们之间的相互作用应是顺序的而不是同时的。     

UV照射与非UV照射FITC致敏小鼠淋巴结树突状细胞的光电镜免疫组织化学特性

本工作观察了小鼠淋巴结树突状细胞（ＤＣ）的光、电镜免疫组织化学特性,并探讨其功能。从ＦＩＴＩＣ致敏小鼠淋巴结分离的ＤＣ在体外可刺激ＦＩＴＣ特异性Ｔ－细胞株增殖。注射经ＵＶ照射、ＦＩＴＣ致敏的小鼠淋巴结细胞（ＤＬＮＣ）至受体小鼠,可导致该小鼠的免疫耐受;这些细胞在体外仍可促进ＦＩＴＣ特异性Ｔ－细胞株增殖,但明显弱于非ＵＶ照射小鼠ＤＬＮＣ的作用。免疫光镜下显示ＵＶ－ＦＩＴＣ致敏小鼠淋巴结的ＦＩＴＣ阳性ＤＣ与非ＵＶ照射ＦＩＴＣ致敏组一样也表达了ＭＡＣ－１、２、３和Ｆ４／８０等巨噬细胞标志,唯其ＦＩＴＣ阳性细胞率明显高于非照射ＦＩＴＣ致敏组动物。免疫电镜下显示这些细胞呈Ｉａ阳性和ＦＩＴＣ阳性,ＦＩＴＣ主要定位于线粒体和溶酶体结构等处。研究表明这些与ＦＩＴＣ致敏小鼠ＤＬＮＣ有关的细胞活性的差异与Ｉａ阳性ＤＣ数量减少、表面Ｉａ的表达、ＦＩＴＣ在ＤＣ内的分布变化无关。某些Ｉａ阳性ＤＣ胞质内可见Ｂｉｒｂｅｃｋ颗粒样结构,提示Ｉａ阳性ＤＣ的不同群体可迁移至ＵＶ照射小鼠的淋巴结。     

AHF及NE、人参皂甙对不同年龄大鼠VSMC c-myc基因和HSP_(70)基因表达的影响

用原位杂交法及激光光密度计灰度扫描半定量法,比较了老年组（２４月龄）与青年组（６周龄）Ｗｉｓｔａｒ大鼠离体培养的主动脉ＶＳＭＣ（５－１０代）ｃ－ｍｙｃ与ＨＳＰ７０基因的表达及红细胞抗高血压因子（ＡＨＦ）、去甲肾上腺素（ＮＥ）与人参皂甙对上述基因表达的影响。结果表明：１．增龄导致的ＶＳＭＣ增殖很可能与ｃ－ｍｙｃ基因的过度表达有关,ＮＥ、ＡＨＦ和人参皂甙可以通过调控ｃ－ｍｙｃ基因的表达来影响ＶＳＭＣ增殖。２．增龄伴随的应激能力下降可能与ＨＳＰ７０基因表达的减少有关。３．ＨＳＰ７０基因也可能参与了ＶＳＭＣ增殖与分化的调控,ＮＥ、ＡＨＦ与人参皂甙可能通过调控ＨＳＰ７０基因的表达来影响ＶＳＭＣ的增殖     

低能量氦氖激光照射对荷瘤小鼠T淋巴细胞增殖反应的影响

目的：本文研究低能量氦氖激光照射荷瘤小鼠,观察对荷瘤Ｔ淋巴细胞增殖反应的影响。结果：ＢＡＬＢ／Ｃ雄性小鼠腹腔接种Ｓ１８０接种后,进行激光照射小鼠内眼角,测定正常对照组、肿瘤对照组和７．３３、１１．００、１４．６７、２２．００Ｊ／ｃｍ＾２和２９．３３Ｊ／ｃｍ＾２五个剂量激光照射组小鼠的Ｔ淋巴细胞增殖反应,结果表明１１．００Ｊ／ｃｍ＾２、１４．６７Ｊ／ｃｍ＾２、２２．００Ｊ／ｃｍ＾２剂量的氦氖激光照射     

天然杀伤细胞在受照射小鼠中的造血调控作用

研究了天然杀伤（ＮＫ）细胞对受致死剂量γ线照射的同系小鼠的造血调控作用。ＡＭＳ／５小鼠经９Ｇｙγ线全身照射后立即经尾静脉注射ＮＫ细胞（５×１０５）,可明显提高受照小鼠３０ｄ活存率,照后８ｄ小鼠骨髓中ＣＦＵ－ＧＭ数量明显高于对照和脾细胞注射组,照射后３０ｄ,ＮＫ细胞注射组活存小鼠的骨髓有核细胞数和ＣＦＵ－ＧＭ数已恢复到正常的７６％─９６％。病理组织学观察显示,输注ＮＫ细胞可使小鼠骨髓、脾脏的组织损伤程度减轻,造血功能增强,表现为造血灶数增多,造血细胞功能活跃,核分裂相增多,且涉及红系、粒系、巨核细胞系造血。ＮＫ细胞可能通过直接与造血干细胞相互作用或改善造血微环境等促进“内源性”造血功能,从而发挥对造血的正调控作用。提示ＮＫ细胞在小鼠造血功能的平衡维持中起重要作用。     

小鼠胎肝基质细胞造血刺激因子体外生物活性研究

本实验对基质细胞造血刺激因子－１（ＳＨＦ－１）的体外生物活性进行了研究。结果表明,ＳＨＦ－１可刺激小鼠骨髓ＣＦＵ－Ｅ、ＢＦＵ－Ｅ、ＣＦＵ－ＧＭ、ＣＦＵ－Ｍｉｘ集落的形成,它产生的这些广泛造血刺激作用是其自身所具活性的直接影响。正常小鼠骨髓细胞与ＳＨＦ－１在体外孵育４ｈ,其中ＣＦＵ－Ｓ的自杀率可提高约１０％,显示它对造血干细胞也有诱导增殖作用。     

利用IL－3／GM－CSF融合蛋白（PIXY－321）扩增脐血造血细胞方法的初步建立

利用单克隆抗体免疫磁珠吸附方法分离脐血ＣＤ３４＋细胞,并观察了ＩＬ３／ＧＭＣＳＦ融合蛋白（ＰＩＸＹ３２１）对脐血ＣＤ３４＋细胞的刺激作用。ＰＩＸＹ３２１对脐血ＣＤ３４＋细胞扩增作用大于ＩＬ３和ＧＭＣＳＦ单独及联合应用。在液体培养条件下,每毫升２０ｎｇＰＩＸＹ３２１可有效地扩增脐血造血祖细胞,适宜扩增时间为５－８天,扩增后造血祖细胞的数量可达扩增前的８－１０倍,从而初步建立了一种简单可行的脐血造血细胞扩增方法。     

人骨髓细胞培养液中干细胞刺激物的分析研究

人骨髓细胞体外培养液中含有高活力的 CSF,在长期培养过程中,CSF 活力的变化,与 CFU-C 数量的变化有大致平行的趋势。这种 CSF 对狗和小鼠也同样有效。人骨體条件液中的 CSF 对培养中的 CFU-S 也有明显的激发作用。这一结论可以从几个方面获得证据:第一,小鼠骨髓细胞与人骨髓条件液保温六小时后,再测定其中 CFU-S 数,结果是增加了。第二,经亚致死剂量照射的小鼠,腹腔注射适量的人骨髓条件液,其内源性脾结节也明显增多。第三,采用阿糖胞苷自杀的方法,测定小鼠骨髓经与人骨髓条件液保温后,其中 CFU-S 的自杀率也有增高的趋势。上述几方面的实验,说明人骨髓长期培养中存在着某种活性物质,调节体外造血。至于这种物质的来源,以及在体外造血中所起的作用,还需要做很多工作,逐步予以澄清。

裂变中子照射狗血清集落刺激因子的变化

利用体外半固体琼脂培养骨髓粒单系祖细胞的方法测定狗血清中集落刺激因子(CSF)活力。狗受1.3、1.7和2.0Gy裂变中子照射后1～15d,受照射动物血清CSF持续上升。2.0Gy照射动物死前血清CSF活力可为照射前7～20倍。1.3Gy及1.7Gy照射活存狗照射后13～30d CSF活力直线下降。γ线3.5和2.5Gy照射狗早期血清中CSF活力变动呈波动性,5～10d后持续上升的幅度也不如中子照射动物。 实验结果证明,血清CSF活力和外周血白细胞数的变化呈负相关。本文对中子照射动物血清CSF活力升高的机理和CSF在中子照射动物造血恢复中的意义进行了探讨。     

Enhancing bone marrow regeneration by SALL4 protein

Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are widely used in transplantation therapy to treat a variety of blood diseases. The success of hematopoietic recovery is of high importance and closely related to the patient’s morbidity and mortality after Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). We have previously shown that SALL4 is a potent stimulator for the expansion of human hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells in vitro. In these studies, we demonstrated that systemic administration with TAT-SALL4B resulted in expediting auto-reconstitution and inducing a 30-fold expansion of endogenous HSCs/HPCs in mice exposed to a high dose of irradiation. Most importantly, TAT-SALL4B treatment markedly prevented death in mice receiving lethal irradiation. Our studies also showed that TAT-SALL4B treatment was able to enhance both the short-term and long-term engraftment of human cord blood (CB) cells in NOD/SCID mice and the mechanism was likely related to the in vivo expansion of donor cells in a recipient. This robust expansion was required for the association of SALL4B with DNA methyltransferase complex, an epigenetic regulator critical in maintaining HSC pools and in normal lineage progression. Our results may provide a useful strategy to enhance hematopoietic recovery and reconstitution in cord blood transplantation with a recombinant TAT-SALL4B fusion protein.     

The comparison of different protocols for expansion of umbilical-cord blood hematopoietic stem cells

Hematopoiesis is maintained by the activity of multipotent stem cells, which have the dual capacity to self-renew and to differentiate into all of the blood cell lineages. The major challenge of stem cells based regenerative therapy is to expand ex vivo the primitive compartment to increase transplantable stem cells number. The present study was designed to evaluate several culture systems for in vitro maintenance of umbilical cord blood stem cells. The influences of different growth conditions such as stromal feeder layer, cytokines supplement and placental conditioned medium (PCM) have been evaluated over a relatively short period of time on CD34(+) cell expansion and maintenance of clonogenic progenitors. When cells were expanded on feeder layer in the presence of added cytokines and PCM on average a 2.96-fold increase of CD34(+)CD71(-) and a 3.13-fold increase of CD34(+)HLA-DR(-) was observed. The total number of colony forming cells (35 +/- 2.65) indicated also that the yield of clonogenic progenitors obtained with a combination of all factors was two folds higher than each of these factors alone and ten time above control (3.67 +/- 2.52). In conclusion, the results of our study clearly show that the ex vivo expansion of hematopoietic progenitor cells obtained from human umbilical cord blood is dependent on controlled experimental conditions, which might be helpful when designing culture systems for clinical applications.     

脐血造血细胞的体外扩增：2.造血细胞生长因子和培养液更换的作用

研究了造血干细胞生长因子、白介素-3、白介素-6、粒-巨噬细胞集落刺激因子、粒细胞集落刺激因子及红细胞生成素对脐血造血细胞体外培养的影响及其剂量关系,考察了造血细胞因子单独与联合作用对造血细胞体外培养的影响,证实细胞因子组合使用比细胞因子单独使用效果更好,发现SCF+IL-3+IL-6+GM-CSF+G-CSF+EPO组合对总细胞扩增最佳,SCF+IL-3+IL6+GM-CSF组合对CFU-GM扩增最佳。实验发现培养液更换可大大提高脐血造血细胞总数和祖细胞数产出。在每天更换50%培养液下,脐血总细胞数在第三周扩增了27倍,祖细胞数扩增了21倍。     

Clinical-grade generation of active NK cells from cord blood hematopoietic progenitor cells for immunotherapy using a closed-system culture process

Natural killer (NK) cell-based adoptive immunotherapy is a promising treatment approach for many cancers. However, development of protocols that provide large numbers of functional NK cells produced under GMP conditions are required to facilitate clinical studies. In this study, we translated our cytokine-based culture protocol for ex vivo expansion of NK cells from umbilical cord blood (UCB) hematopoietic stem cells into a fully closed, large-scale, cell culture bioprocess. We optimized enrichment of CD34(+) cells from cryopreserved UCB units using the CliniMACS system followed by efficient expansion for 14 days in gas-permeable cell culture bags. Thereafter, expanded CD34(+) UCB cells could be reproducibly amplified and differentiated into CD56(+)CD3(-) NK cell products using bioreactors with a mean expansion of more than 2,000 fold and a purity of >90%. Moreover, expansion in the bioreactor yielded a clinically relevant dose of NK cells (mean: 2×10(9) NK cells), which display high expression of activating NK receptors and cytolytic activity against K562. Finally, we established a versatile closed washing procedure resulting in optimal reduction of medium, serum and cytokines used in the cell culture process without changes in phenotype and cytotoxic activity. These results demonstrate that large numbers of UCB stem cell-derived NK cell products for adoptive immunotherapy can be produced in closed, large-scale bioreactors for the use in clinical trials.     

Systematic investigation of oxygen and growth factors in clinically valid ex vivo expansion of cord blood CD34(+) hematopoietic progenitor cells

Background aimsCord blood is considered to be a superior source of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells for transplantation, but clinical use is limited primarily because of the low numbers of cells harvested. Ex vivo expansion has the potential to provide a safe, effective means of increasing cell numbers. However, an absence of consensus regarding optimum expansion conditions prevents standard implementation. Many studies lack clinical applicability, or have failed to investigate the combinational effects of different parameters.MethodsThis is the first study to characterize systematically the effect of growth factor combinations across multiple oxygen levels on the ex vivo expansion of cord blood CD34⁺ hematopoietic cells utilizing clinically approvable reagents and methodologies throughout.ResultsOptimal fold expansion, as assessed both phenotypically and functionally, was greatest with thrombopoietin, stem cell factor, Flt-3 ligand and interleukin-6 at an oxygen level of 10%. With these conditions, serial expansion showed continual target population expansion and consistently higher expression levels of self-renewal associated genes.ConclusionsThis study has identified optimized fold expansion conditions, with the potential for direct clinical translation to increase transplantable cell dose and as a baseline methodology against which future factors can be tested.
