SOD对骨髓造血祖细胞在4°C条件下保存损伤的防护作用

为了探讨抗氧化剂对造血干细胞在低温条件下损伤的防护作用,将小鼠骨髓细胞置于４℃条件下保存,观察在保养液中加入不同浓度的Ｃｕ、Ｚｎ、ＳＯＤ对细胞死伤的防护效果和马血清对细胞回收率的影响。结果表明,含２０％的马血清保养液中加入ＳＯＤ１．６５Ｕ或０．１６５Ｕ／ｍｌ,保存３天,ＣＦＵ－ＧＭ、ＣＦＵ－Ｅ、ＢＦＵ－Ｅ、ＣＦＵ－Ｍｅｇ、ＣＦＵ－Ｍｉｘ的产率分别为对照组（不加ＳＯＤ）的６．２、２．６、２．９、４．０和５．１倍,明显提高了造血祖细胞的活存率,其中ＣＦＵ－ＧＭ和ＣＦＵ－Ｍｉｘ达到保存前水平。ＳＯＤ的有效作用机理不是对造血祖细胞增殖调控作用,而是防护了细胞的死亡。这可能与其清除过氧自由基的抗氧化作用有密切关系。

FL对脐血造血细胞长期液体培养的影响

用脐血进行干细胞移植有许多优点,但有一个主要的缺点是可获得的细胞数量有限,因此脐血干细胞的体外扩增对于其临床应用具有重要意义。考察了Ｆｌｔ－３配体（ＦＬ）和干细胞因子（ＳＣＦ）,白介素３（ＩＬ－３）,ＩＬ－６,粒细胞集落刺激因子（Ｇ－ＣＳＦ）,粒细胞巨噬细胞集落刺激因子（ＧＭ－ＣＳＦ）的组合对脐血细胞扩增和分化的影响,培养４２ｄ,总细胞最多扩增了３８５．３０±１６３．５１倍（ＦＬ＋ＳＣＦ＋Ｇ－ＣＳ

Synergism between stem cell factor and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor on cell proliferation by induction of cyclins

Synergism between stem cell factor (SCF) and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) has been shown to be essential for hematopoietic cell proliferation. Since HML-2 cells proliferate exponentially in the presence of SCF and GM-CSF together, we analyzed the molecular mechanism of the interaction between these two factors in the cells. An immediate-early gene product, c-myc, was additively upregulated in HML-2 cells by addition of a combination of SCF and GM-CSF. c-myc antisense oligonucleotides effectively suppressed cell proliferation and downregulated the induction of D3, E, A, and B cyclins in HML-2 cells stimulated with the two-factor combination. HML-2 cells arrested at the G0/G1 phase with SCF alone and expressed modest amounts of c-myc and cyclin D3, but not cyclin E. With GM-CSF treatment alone, the cells could not progress to the G2/M phase and expressed c-myc, cyclin D3 and cyclin E but not cyclins A or B. The addition of the counterpart cytokine resulted in cell cycle completion by induction of the deficient cyclins. Taken together, it appears that the induction of c-myc is an indispensable event in the proliferation of HML-2 cells and that the cytokines SCF and GM-CSF interact reciprocally for expression of all cyclins required for cell cycle progression.     

Effects of recombinant human stem cell factor (SCF) on the growth of human progenitor cells in vitro.

We have studied the effect of recombinant human Stem Cell Factor (SCF) on the growth of human peripheral blood, bone marrow, and cord blood progenitor cells in semisolid medium. While SCF alone had little colony-stimulating activity under fetal bovine serum (FBS)-deprived culture conditions, SCF synergized with erythropoietin (Epo), granulocyte/macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), and interleukin 3 (IL-3) to stimulate colony growth. Colony morphology was determined by the late-acting growth factor added along with SCF. Of all the combinations of growth factors, SCF plus IL-3 and Epo resulted in the largest number of mixed-cell colonies--a larger number than observed with IL-3 and Epo alone even in FBS-supplemented cultures. These results suggest that SCF is a growth factor that more specifically targets early progenitor cells (mixed-cell colony-forming cells) and has the capacity to synergize with a wide variety of other hematopoietic growth factors to cause the proliferation and differentiation of committed progenitor cells. Our studies indicate that SCF may be the earliest acting growth factor described to date.     

Activation of adenosine A(3) receptors potentiates stimulatory effects of IL-3, SCF, and GM-CSF on mouse granulocyte-macrophage hematopoietic progenitor cells

Adenosine A(3) receptor agonist N(6)-(3-iodobenzyl)adenosine-5'-N-methyluronamide (IB-MECA) has been tested from the point of view of potentiating the effects of hematopoietic growth factors interleukin-3 (IL-3), stem cell factor (SCF), granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) on the growth of hematopoietic progenitor cells for granulocytes and macrophages (GM-CFC) in suspension of normal mouse bone marrow cells in vitro. IB-MECA alone induced no GM-CFC growth. Significant elevation of numbers of GM-CFC evoked by the combinations of IB-MECA with IL-3, SCF, or GM-CSF as compared with these growth factors alone has been noted. Combination of IB-MECA with G-CSF did not induce significantly higher numbers of GM-CFC in comparison with G-CSF alone. Joint action of three drugs, namely of IB-MECA + IL-3 + GM-CSF, produced significantly higher numbers of GM-CFC in comparison with the combinations of IB-MECA + IL-3, IB-MECA + GM-CSF, or IL-3 + GM-CSF. These results give evidence of a significant role of selective activation of adenosine A(3) receptors in stimulation of the growth of granulocyte/ macrophage hematopoietic progenitor cells.     

Application of proteoglycan extracted from the nasal cartilage of salmon heads for ex vivo expansion of hematopoietic progenitor cells derived from human umbilical cord blood

Highly purified proteoglycan (PG) extracted from the nasal cartilage of salmon heads was applied to the ex vivo expansion of hematopoietic progenitor cells prepared from human umbilical cord blood in serum-free cultures supplemented with the combination of early-acting cytokines, thrombopoietin (TPO), interleukin-3 (IL-3) and stem cell factor (SCF). PG showed no promoting effects on the cell proliferation rate; however, they promoted the generation of progenitor cells for granulocyte-macrophages, erythrocytes and/or megakaryocytes in culture with TPO alone or SCF plus TPO. However, no promoting effect was observed in a combination of IL-3 plus SCF, which showed the highest cell proliferation rate. PG failed to promote the generation of mixed colony-forming units (i.e. the relatively immature cells in hematopoiesis). These results suggest that PG acts on the relatively mature stem/progenitor cells, and may function as a regulatory factor in the differentiation pathway of hematopoiesis.     

Cytokine combinations differentially influence the SDF-1alpha-dependent migratory activity of cultivated murine hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells

Stromal cell-derived factor-1alpha (SDF-1alpha) is a strong migratory stimulant for hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs). The hematopoietic cytokines thrombopoietin (TPO), Flt3-ligand (FL), stem cell factor (SCF) and interleukin 11 (IL-11) are able to stimulate amplification of primitive murine hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) in vitro. The effects of these cytokines on SDF-1alpha-induced migratory activity of murine Lin(-)c-kit+ HSPC were analyzed by cultivation of these cells in the presence of 12 combinations of FL, TPO, SCF and IL-11. Migratory activity was measured in a three-dimensional collagen matrix using time-lapse video microscopy. Each cytokine combination had a distinct effect on SDF-1alpha-stimulated migratory activity. For instance, FL- and SCF-cultivated cells showed a high migratory SDF-1alpha response, while cells cultivated with SCF, TPO and IL-11 did not react to SDF-1alpha stimulation with an elevated migration rate. Our data indicate that the differences in the migratory SDF-1alpha response are not related to different CXCR4 expression levels, but rather to the differential engagement of the CXCR4-dependent MAPK p42/44 and PI3K signal transduction pathways. This indicates that hematopoietic cytokines can have a significant impact on SDF-1alpha-stimulated migratory activity and the underlying intracellular signaling processes in cultivated HSPCs.     

Impaired NK cell development in an IFN-gamma transgenic mouse: aberrantly expressed IFN-gamma enhances hematopoietic stem cell apoptosis and affects NK cell differentiation

Aberrant expression of IFN-gamma has been demonstrated to cause a wide variety of alterations in cell function and development. Previously we reported that constitutive expression of IFN-gamma in bone marrow (BM) and thymus results in a total absence of B cells and a substantial decrease in the number of hematopoietic progenitor cells. In this study, we demonstrate a severe deficiency of NK1.1(+)CD3(-) cells in this transgenic mouse model. Compared with normal control littermates, we found a pronounced reduction of NK cells in IFN-gamma transgenic mouse spleen and liver despite maintenance of normal function. In addition, we observed a reduced number of BM cells in the IFN-gamma transgenic mouse despite normal expression of hematopoietic growth factors in the BM. Interestingly, these cells were less responsive to stem cell factor (SCF) despite c-kit expression on hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). We observed that addition of exogenous IFN-gamma inhibited proliferation of HSCs and differentiation of NK precursors from HSCs in normal mice in response to SCF, IL-7, fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 ligand, and IL-15. Furthermore, we found that HSCs express the IFN-gammaRalpha subunit and undergo apoptosis in response to exogenous IFN-gamma. Thus, we have demonstrated the occurrence of a severe deficiency of NK cells and lower numbers of BM cells in an IFN-gamma transgenic mouse model. Furthermore, because exogenous IFN-gamma affects the responsiveness to hematopoietic growth factors such as SCF in vitro, our results indicate that chronic expression of IFN-gamma in vivo leads to widespread immune system defects, including alterations in NK cell differentiation.     

Spred-1 negatively regulates interleukin-3-mediated ERK/mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase activation in hematopoietic cells

Sprouty/Spred family proteins have been identified as negative regulators of growth factor-induced ERK/mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase activation. However, it has not been clarified whether these proteins regulate cytokine-induced ERK activity. We found that Spred-1 is highly expressed in interleukin-3 (IL-3)-dependent hematopoietic cell lines and bone marrow-derived mast cells. To investigate the roles of Spred-1 in hematopoiesis, we expressed wild-type Spred-1 and a dominant negative form of Spred-1, DeltaC-Spred, in IL-3- and stem cell factor (SCF)-dependent cell lines as well as hematopoietic progenitor cells from mouse bone marrow by retrovirus gene transfer. In IL-3-dependent Ba/F3 cells expressing c-kit, forced expression of Spred-1 resulted in a reduced proliferation rate and ERK activation in response to not only SCF but also IL-3. In contrast, DeltaC-Spred augmented IL-3-induced cell proliferation and ERK activation. Wild-type Spred-1 inhibited colony formation of bone marrow cells in the presence of cytokines, whereas DeltaC-Spred-1 expression enhanced colony formation. Augmentation of ERK activation and proliferation in response to IL-3 was also observed in Spred-1-deficient bone marrow-derived mast cells. These data suggest that Spred-1 negatively regulates hematopoiesis by suppressing not only SCF-induced but also IL-3-induced ERK activation.     

Adenosine potentiates stimulatory effects on granulocyte-macrophage hematopoietic progenitor cells in vitro of IL-3 and SCF, but not those of G-CSF, GM-CSF and IL-11

The aim of the studies was to ascertain if adenosine is able to co-operate with selected hematopoietic growth factors and cytokines, namely with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), stem cell factor (SCF), interleukin-3 (IL-3), and interleukin-11 (IL-11), in inducing the growth of colonies from hematopoietic progenitor cells for granulocytes and macrophages (GM-CFC) from normal bone marrow cells in vitro. Adenosine was found not to produce any colonies when present in the cultures as the only potential stimulator. All the tested cytokines and growth factors were observed to induce the growth of distinct numbers of GM-CFC colonies, with the exception of IL-11. When suboptimal concentrations of the evaluated cytokines and growth factors were tested in the cultures in which various concentrations of adenosine were concomitantly present, mutually potentiating effects were found in the case of IL-3 and SCF. These results confirm the role of adenosine in regulation of granulopoiesis and predict IL-3 and SCF as candidates for further in vivo studies of their combined administration with adenosine.
