More than 20% of human granulocyte-macrophage and eosinophil colony-forming cells survived in agar culture for up to 4 days without the addition of exogenous colony stimulating factors (human placental-conditioned medium, HPCM). Survival was reduced slightly but not significantly, by the removal of adherent cell populations. Significant survival occurred even when only 100 cells enriched for colony-forming cells (CFCs) were cultured per dish. When individual colonies, initiated by stimulation with HPCM for 5 days, were transferred to dishes without HPCM, subsequent proliferation was significantly reduced compared with control cultures containing HPCM. Using the fluorescence-activated cell sorter and the fluoresceinated lectin from Lotus tetragonolobus, two populations of marrow cells were obtained, one enriched for day 7 and the other for day 14 colony-forming cells. Two colony-stimulating factors fractionated from HPLCM (CSFβ and CSFα) have been shown previously to stimulate the day 7 and day 14 colony-forming cell populations, respectively. Developing clones from cultures initiated with CSFβ died between the fifth and tenth day of culture after transfer to dishes with CSFα or CSFβ or to dishes with no stimulus. Cells in clusters initiated with CSFα proliferated significantly between the fifth and tenth day of culture when transfered to CSFα or CSFβ but not when transfered to dishes with not stimulus. These studies provide further evidence for the existence of two subtypes of human granulocyte-macrophage progenitor cells each under the primary control of a specific regulator and indicate that these two regulators can both act on some developing clones of cells.  相似文献

The effect of X-rays and different-energy neutrons on human bone-marrow cells was studied using two different cell-culture techniques--diffusion chamber (DC) growth and colony formation in vitro (CFU-C). Based on the survival of proliferative granulocytes in DC on day 13, the D0 value was 80 rad with X-rays, and 117 rad as measured by the CFU-C assay. The D0 values for neutrons depended on the radiation source and the energy level. The r.b.e. values, which dropped with increasing energy levels of mono-energetic neutrons, were (i) 0.44 MeV; DC 3.7, CFU-C 4.1; (ii) 6 MeV; DC 1.8, CFU-C 2.0; (iii) 15 MeV; DC 1.6, CFU-C 1.6; (iv) fission neutrons; DC 2.6, CFU-C 2.4.  相似文献

A previous report has suggested an antigenic relationship between beta 2-microglobulin (beta 2 mu) and granulocyte colony-stimulating activity (CSA). Since human myeloid progenitor cells (CFU-C) express HLA antigens and beta 2 mu is a known molecular component of HLA antigens, we wondered whether the reported effect of anti-beta 2 mu heteroantisera on in vitro granulopoiesis might result from cytotoxicity to CFU-C rather than from cross-reactivity with CSA. To test this, we used rabbit antibody reactive with human and murine beta 2 mu (anti-beta 2 mu). Treatment of human and murine bone marrow cells with anti-beta 2 mu and complement resulted in 95+% inhibition of CFU-C colony formation compared to controls. To test for an effect on CSA, anti-beta 2 mu was incubated with human and murine sources of CSA. After addition of goat anti-rabbit Ig antiserum to precipitate immune complexes and unbound anti-beta 2 mu, the supernatant fluid retained CSA but was no longer cytotoxic to CFU-C. These results indicate that human and murine CFU-C express membrane beta 2 mu and that anti-beta 2 mu antibody does not cross-react with human or murine CSA.  相似文献

The growth of granulopoietic progenitor cells (CFU-C) in diffusion chambers during culture of peripheral blood leukocytes from 10 normal subjects has been studied. At various times after initiation of diffusion chamber culture, cells harvested from the chambers were transferred to agar culture for measurement of CFU-C concentration. Under these conditions colonies could be grown successfully in agar culture provided pronase, necessary for the chamber harvesting procedure, was first removed by careful washing. A marked increase in the number of CFU-C, up to 25-fold the initial value, was observed in 8 out of 10 subjects. Here the growth pattern was similar, independent of the initial CFU-C values, with an immediate rise to a maximum between 6 and 13 days of culture followed by a decrease. In the other two subjects the growth of CFU-C throughout the diffusion chamber culture period was very poor. The growth of CFU-C from a given individual's blood was shown to be reproducible in repeated studies in 2 subjects, one of whom showed a proliferative and the other a non-proliferative pattern. Evidence suggests that the increase in CFU-C in diffusion chambers is the result of both self-renewal of these cells and influx from a more primitive compartment, although the present data do not allow an estimate of the relative magnitude of each.  相似文献

We report the effect of four sources of hemopoietic growth factors, alone or in combination, on colony growth in serum-free cultures of bone marrow from normal mice or marrow from mice pre-treated with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU-bm). The four supplements were: mouse spleen conditioned medium (SCM, a source of multi-lineage colony-stimulating activity, multi-CSA), human placental conditioned medium (HPCM, a source of synergistic activity), pregnant mouse uterus extract (PMUE, a source of M-CSA) and erythropoietin (Epo). First, in cultures of normal marrow, only PMUE and SCM induced significant colony growth when added alone. The majority of those colonies contained granulocytes and macrophages (myeloid colonies). In Epo-supplemented cultures, only SCM supported the growth of erythroid bursts and mixed erythroid-myeloid colonies. HPCM thus appears to be a poor source of multi-CSA. Second, in cultures of 5-FU-bm, few colonies developed if any of the above supplements were added alone. Only SCM + Epo together stimulated the formation of a low number of very large, mixed erythroid/myeloid/megakaryocyte colonies. HPCM, but not SCM, synergized with PMUE to augment myeloid colony numbers. Hence, SCM appears to be a poor source of synergistic activity (SA). In cultures of 5-FU-bm already supplemented with HPCM + PMUE, the addition of Epo did not change total colony numbers but did induce erythroid differentiation in one third of the colonies present. These data suggest that multi-CSA and SA may be expressed by different factors and that 5-FU pre-treated marrow contains: a population of primitive multipotential progenitors which form large, mixed colonies in the presence of SCM + Epo, and a larger Epo-sensitive population which also requires HPCM + PMUE to form mixed colonies.  相似文献

Vindesine (VDS) is a new vinca-alkaloid related to vinblastine and vincristine that blocks production of the microtubules in the mitotic phase of the cell cycle. Studies were undertaken to investigate the inhibitory effect of VDS on normal murine bone marrow cell proliferation and the possible interactions between this compound and L-cell derived colony stimulating factor (CSF). One X 10(7) murine bone marrow cells were exposed to various concentrations of VDS, ranging from 0.1 to 1.5 micrograms/ml for 1 h at 37 degrees C. Following this period, the cells were plated in agar in the presence of 100 units of CSF. A dose-dependent inhibition of colony formation was noted with increasing doses of the drugs. To determine whether an increased dose of CSF could overcome the inhibitory effect of VDS, further studies compared colony growth in response to 100 and 200 units of CSF. Virtually no inhibition of colony growth was detected in VDS-treated cells exposed to this higher dose of CSF while a dose-dependent reduction in CFU-C was noted with 100 units of CSF. Preincubation of cells with VDS and CSF prevented the inhibition that occurred with VDS alone. The addition of anti-CSF serum during the preincubation phase abolished the protective effect of CSF. The studies show that short-term exposure of marrow cells to VDS causes a dose-dependent inhibition of in vitro colony formation; this inhibition is prevented by increasing doses of CSF in agar culture or by simultaneous preincubation with CSF. The CSF action appears specific as its protective effect is neutralized by antibody to CSF, suggesting a potential role for CSF in preventing the antimitotic activity of VDS.  相似文献

The production of granulocytes and macrophages from progenitor cells in the bone marrow is controlled, in part, by a family of humoral regulators, termed colony stimulating factors (CSF). We have examined genetic factors controlling this process using in vitro cloning techniques. The inbred mouse strain LP/J showed elevated colony formation (CFU-C) in response to one subtype of CSF (G,M-CSF) compared to other strains of mice examined including the strain C57BL/6J. This variation resulted in a shift to the left of the CFU-C dose-response curve for LP/J. No difference between LP/J and C57BL/6J was seen with another subtype of CSF (CSF-1). Maximal CFU-C response was similar in the two mouse strains with both types of CSF, and mixing experiments with both types of CSF gave the same maximal level of colony formation as the individual CSF. (C57BL/6J X LP/J)F1 progeny exhibited a CFU-C dose-response curve to CSF-2 that was intermediate between the parental types, indicating additive inheritance. Genetic analysis of backcross progeny suggested that the variation in CFU-C response is probably determined by a single primary gene, although the variability of the colony formation assay has complicated interpretation of genetic studies. These results suggest that CSF-1 and G,M-CSF act independently on a single bone marrow progenitor cell population. The properties of the genetic variation for G,M-CSF response are consistent with an alteration in cellular receptors for G,M-CSF.  相似文献

Blood colony-forming cells (CFU-C) and colony-stimulating activity obtained from feeder layers of peripheral blood leucocytes (leucocyte CSA) have been studies in 69 normal subjects by means of semisolid agar culture system. Groups of normal volunteers were selected according to sex and age (20 to 45 and older than 60 years) and the results compared. The mean number of circulating CFU-C was significantly lower in young women (20-45 years old) than in males over 60 years of age, but no differences were found among the other age and sex groups. Leucocyte CSA did not significantly differ among these groups. In 5 young males the blood CFU-C did not show significant variations at 8 AM and at 4 PM of the same day. When the study was repeated in 18 subjects at longer time intervals, the number of colonies showed a maximum fivefold variation. The amount of plasma and polymorphonuclear granulocytes present in our culture system did not inhibit the colony growth. In most cases, double layer cultures grow a higher number of colonies than single layer, but feeder layers of some normal subject seem to inhibit the colony growth.  相似文献

The effects of retinoic acid (RA) on the proliferation and differentiation of normal myeloid progenitor cells (CFU-C) were studied. In general, RA at 10?10 to 10?6 M enhanced primary myeloid colony formation in the presence of colony-stimulating factor(s). However, macrophage colony formation was strongly inhibited by RA. This may be related to the finding that RA is able to differentiate bipotential HL-60 cells into granulocytes but not into macrophages. Moreover, secondary colony formation was always suppressed by the addition of RA to the primary cultures. It means that self-renewal capacity of CFU-C was suppressed by RA. This finding suggests that normal myelopoiesis will be suppressed eventually by RA.  相似文献

We have developed a technique for the cryopreservation of large volumes of human bone marrow, which reduces cell losses due to clumping and release of lysosomal enzymes from mature granulocytes. Mononuclear cells were separated from whole bone marrow by a large-scale Ficoll-Hypaque procedure. The agar colony assay for myeloid stem cells (CFU-C) was used to assess each step of the isolation and cryopreservation procedure. Conditions of varied cell and cryoprotectant concentrations and freezing and thawing rates were compared to obtain optimal recovery of mononuclear cells and CFU-C. This technique has been used to store bone marrow from 45 patients with hematologic and non-hematologic neoplasms. Up to 750 ml of marrow was obtained from each patient and separated by step-gradient centrifugation, and the cell fraction containing myeloid stem cells was cryopreserved. The mean recoveries following separation, cryopreservation, and thawing for 18 marrow storages from patients with hematological neoplasms were 8.8 ± 2.9% for mononuclear cells and 47.8 ± 20.8% for CFU-C. In comparison, values for 27 marrows from patients with non-hematological neoplasms were 14.5 ± 5.5% for cells and 57.7 ± 13.7% for CFU-C.  相似文献

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。  相似文献

Spleen and bone marrow cells from normal and leukaemic RFM mice have been assayed for numbers of colony forming cells in soft agar (CFU-C). The fluctuations in CFU-C yield observed during the development of myeloid leukaemia are similar to the results from in vitro experiments set up to test a model, and are not incompatible with the idea that interaction between normal and leukaemic cells may modify the yield of CFU-C under the present conditions of culture. Colonies grown from leukaemic spleen and bone marrow cells appear to be derived from the residual population of normal haemopoietic cells within the leukaemic mouse.  相似文献

Our experiments were designed to identify the source of the increased number of cells forming colonies in culture (CFU-C) detected after short-term culture of mouse marrow cells over 'feeders' of renal tubules. Accordingly, marrow cell suspensions were fractionated by velocity sedimentation and aliquots of each fraction cultured for 2 days over tubule 'feeders'. We found a greater increase of CFU-C in suspensions of slowly sedimenting cells as compared to rapidly sedimenting cells. Colcemid and vinblastine were used to alter the peak sedimentation velocity of marrow suspensions by changing the distribution of cells in the cell cycle. After such manipulations, the peak increase in CFU-C continued to be associated with fractions containing slowly sedimenting cells. Such fractions also contained most of the pluripotent stem cells identified by the spleen colony technique.  相似文献

Primary and secondary colony formation of two new human myeloid leukemia cell lines (BRM and DD) were studied in serum-free semisolid cultures. The results indicate that bovine serum albumin and transferrin were essential for clonal growth in chemically defined medium. Insulin contributed only moderately beneficial effects. Initial cell density was also a major modulator of plating efficiency. Positive cooperation between the leukemia cells was shown by using autologous conditioned media. This is the first serum-free culture method that allows self-renewal of human myeloid leukemia cell lines in terms of secondary colony formation in methylcellulose cultures.  相似文献

The differentiated state of mouse erythropoietic progenitor cells (CFU-E), detected by their ability to form erythropoietin-dependent colonies in vitro, has been investigated. Transfusion-induced plethora was found to reduce the population size of CFU-E in both spleen and femoral marrow, which indicates that a significant number of CFU-E arise by differentiation processes that are themselves erythropoietin-dependent. Individual spleen colonies were found to be heterogeneous in their content of CFU-E, and the numbers of CFU-E per colony were not correlated either positively or negatively with the numbers of granulocyte-macrophage progenitors (CFU-C) present in the same colonies. The absence of a negative correlation between CFU-E and CFU-C indicates that the erythropoietic and granulopoietic pathways of differentiation are not mutually exclusive within individual spleen colonies. The numbers of CFU-E per spleen colony were also found to vary independently of the numbers of pluripotent stem cells (CFU-S) per colony; in contrast, as found previously, the numbers of CFU-C and CFU-S per colony were positively correlated. These results indicate that more randomizing events separate CFU-E from CFU-S than separate CFU-C from CFU-S, and are consistent with the view that CFU-E occupy a position on the erythropoietic pathway of differentiation that is more remote from the pluripotent stem cells than is the corresponding position of CFU-C on the granulopoietic pathway.  相似文献

The effects of providing low oxygen tension in the gas phase of two different types of cell culture systems were investigated. The clonal growth of granulocyte-macrophage progenitor cells in an agar culture system was improved markedly by incubation within a low oxygen tension gas phase (48 mmHg – 6.8%) instead of the conventional air (135 mmHg – 19%), the effects being measured by increases in numbers of colony forming cells detected and in the colony sizes. The increased efficiency of colony formation was observed both with mouse and human marrow cells. A similar effect was observed in a liquid adherence culture system with primary cultures of foetal mouse fibroblasts both at clonal and higher cell densities.  相似文献

Human tumor-degenerating factor (TDF), which is produced in the culture of human fibroblasts, causes the degenerative changes of the tumor cells and forms a cell-free area on the surface of culture dish. Its degenerating activity is enhanced by the treatment with interferons. In the present study, it was recognized that TDF preparation inhibited the colony formation of KB cells according to the TDF activity. When recombinant human leukocyte interferon (rHuIFN-alpha A) was added to the KB cell culture, the colony formation was inhibited. The combination of TDF preparation with rHuIFN-alpha A inhibited more strongly the colony formation than TDF alone or rHuIFN-alpha A alone. It was found that the combination of TDF preparation with rHuIFN-gamma inhibited more remarkably the colony formation than the combination of TDF preparation with rHuIFN-alpha A.  相似文献

Cultured mouse myeloma cells have been cloned in soft agar using a modification of the method established by Pluznik and Sachs ('65, '66) and by Bradley and Metcalf ('66). A linear relationship existed between the number of cells plated and the number of colonies produced. Conditions for obtaining optimum cloning efficiency and colony size were determined for the MPC-11 cell line. Feeder cells of mouse, human and rabbit origin and conditioned growth medium obtained from mouse cultures and had an enhancing effect on colony formation. Immunoglobulin production by cloned cells was detected by overlaying the clones with anti-immunoglobulin antiserum. The antiserum had no adverse effect on cloning efficiency or colony size. A reconstruction experiment was performed to show that the plate assay could reliably detect rare variants of immunoglobulin producing cells. The plate assay was validated by studying immunoglobulin production following recovery of clones from dishes and their growth to mass suspension culture. Immunoglobulin formation in these cultures was assessed by a Ouchterlony immunodiffusion of the supernatant medium, and by incubating the cells with radioactive amino acids and analyzing the intracellular and secreted immunoglobulin on polyacrylamide gels.  相似文献

Summary We previously demonstrated that macrophages isolated from human malignant effusions support colony formation of autologous tumor cells in soft agar. We now demonstrate that macrophages (derived from effusions of patients with ovarian, breast, colon, or lung adenocarcinomas) secrete a soluble factor(s) that enhances the ability of a human epithelial tumor cell line (SW-13) to clone in soft agar. Macrophages increased colony growth 5 to 10-fold in a concentration dependent manner, although inhibition of cell growth was observed in the presence of high concentrations of macrophages. We attempted to increase production of tumor colony stimulating factor by exposing macrophages to lipopolysaccharide, concanavalin A, or phytohemagglutinin. Exposure of macrophages to these agents failed to increase their ability to secrete stimulatory factors. Macrophages were cultured for 1 day to 6 weeks in the presence of GCT-CM, a source of granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor and the ability of these cultured macrophages to support colony growth assessed. The ability of macrophages to support colony growth declined gradually with time in culture reaching 50% of control values at 14 days, but remained at this level until 5 weeks of culture. The results of this study indicate the SW-13 cells may provide a quantitative assay for studying monocyte-derived tumor colony stimulating factors.  相似文献

Summary A difference was observed in the effect of difluoromethlyornithine (DFMO), a specific inhibitor of ornithine decarboxylase, on human and murine granulocyte-macrophage precursor cell (CFU-C) proliferation in vitro, in the presence of fetal bovine serum (FBS) and horse serum (HS). A dose of DFMO which almost totally abolished CFU-C colonies in cultures containing FBS had no effect or very little effect on CFU-C in cultures supplemented with HS. This effect could be reversed by aminoguanidine reacting with diamine oxidase (DAO), which is present in FBS but not in HS. The importance of DAO in the assessment of polyamine effects is also suggested by decreased colony formation in cultures containing HS and DFMO only after the addition of this enzyme. Additionally, Mo T cell line cultures containing DFMO demonstrated a substantially lower intracellular concentration of putrescine in the presence of FBS rather than HS. Supported in part by National Institutes of Health grant RO1-AM27423 and American Cancer Society grant CH-334.  相似文献
