Hematopoietic processes, especially megakaryocytopoiesis and thrombopoiesis, are highly sensitive to high-linear energy transfer (LET) radiations such as heavy-ion beams that have greater biological effects than low-LET radiation. This study examined the terminal maturation of megakaryocytes and platelet production derived from hematopoietic stem cells irradiated with heavy-ion beams. CD34(+) cells derived from human placental/umbilical cord blood were exposed to monoenergetic carbon-ion beams (LET = 50 keV/μm) and then cultured in a serum-free medium supplemented with thrombopoietin and interleukin-3. There was no significant difference in megakaryocyte-specific markers between nonirradiated control and irradiated cells. Expression of Tie-2, a receptor that acts in early hematopoiesis, showed a significant 1.31-fold increase after 2 Gy irradiation compared to control cells on day 7. There was a significant increase in Tie-2 mRNA expression. In addition, the expression of other mRNAs, such as PECAM1, SELP and CD44, was also significantly increased in cells irradiated with heavy-ion beams. However, the adherent function of platelets derived from the irradiated cells showed no difference from that in the controls. These results clarify that the functions of megakaryocytopoiesis and thrombopoiesis derived from hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells irradiated with heavy-ion beams are similar to those in the unirradiated cells, although heavy-ion beams affect the expression of genes associated with cellular adhesion. 相似文献

In the present study, we investigated whether X-irradiated hematopoietic stem cells can be induced to undergo megakaryocytopoiesis and thrombopoiesis in vitro using cytokine combinations that have been demonstrated to be effective for conferring increased survival on irradiated human CD34(+) megakaryocytic progenitor cells (colony-forming unit megakaryocytes; CFU-Meg), such as thrombopoietin (TPO), interleukin 3 (IL3), stem cell factor and FLT3 ligand. Culture of nonirradiated CD34(+) cells in serum-free medium supplemented with multiple cytokine combinations led to an approximately 200- to 600-fold increase in the total cell numbers by day 14 of culture. In contrast, the growth of X-irradiated cells was observed to be one-sixth to one-tenth that of the nonirradiated cultures. Similarly, total megakaryocytes were increased by 50- to 130-fold, while culture of X-irradiated cells yielded one-fourth to one-eighth of the control numbers. At this time, CD41(+) particles, which appeared to be platelets, were produced in the medium harvested from nonirradiated and irradiated cultures. Although radiation suppressed cell growth and megakaryocytopoiesis, there were no significant differences in thrombopoiesis between the two types of culture. These results suggest that X-irradiated CD34(+) cells can be induced to undergo nearly normal terminal maturation through megakaryocytopoiesis and thrombopoiesis by stimulation with appropriate cytokine combinations. 相似文献

Severe damage of human megakaryocytopoiesis and thrombopoiesis by heavy-ion beam radiation 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Heavy ions have a unique efficacy for tumor control in radiotherapy. To clarify the effects of heavy-ion beams on hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells, the effects of carbon-ion beams on megakaryocytopoiesis and thrombopoiesis in CD34(+) cells derived from human placental and umbilical cord blood were investigated. The cells were exposed to carbon-ion beams (LET = 50 keV/microm) and then were treated with thrombopoietin (TPO) alone or TPO plus other cytokines. Megakaryocytic progenitor cells, such as megakaryocyte colony-forming units (CFU-Meg), were far more sensitive to carbon-ion beams than to X rays, and no restoration of carbon-ion beam-irradiated CFU-Meg by treatment with any cytokine combination was observed. However, total cell expansion in liquid culture was not different after either carbon-ion beam or X irradiation of CD34(+) cells. The activation of gamma-H2AX, a marker of DNA double strand-breaks (DSBs), was promoted by the cytokine treatment in X-irradiated CD34(+) cells but not in carbon-ion-irradiated cells. These results showed that carbon-ion beams inflicted severe damage on megakaryocytopoiesis and thrombopoiesis and that a better combination of cytokines and other agents may be needed to stimulate the recovery of hematopoietic cells and repair this damage. 相似文献

Hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs), which are present in small numbers in hematopoietic tissues, can differentiate into all hematopoietic lineages and self-renew to maintain their undifferentiated phenotype. HSPCs are extremely sensitive to oxidative stressors such as anti-cancer agents, radiation, and the extensive accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). The quiescence and stemness of HSPCs are maintained by the regulation of mitochondrial biogenesis, ROS, and energy homeostasis in a special microenvironment called the stem cell niche. The present study evaluated the relationship between the production of intracellular ROS and mitochondrial function during the proliferation and differentiation of X-irradiated CD34+ cells prepared from human placental/umbilical cord blood HSPCs. Highly purified CD34+ HSPCs exposed to X-rays were cultured in liquid and semi-solid medium supplemented with hematopoietic cytokines. X-irradiated CD34+ HSPCs treated with hematopoietic cytokines, which promote their proliferation and differentiation, exhibited dramatically suppressed cell growth and clonogenic potential. The amount of intracellular ROS in X-irradiated CD34+ HSPCs was significantly higher than that in non-irradiated cells during the culture period. However, neither the intracellular mitochondrial content nor the mitochondrial superoxide production was elevated in X-irradiated CD34+ HSPCs compared with non-irradiated cells. Radiation-induced gamma-H2AX expression was observed immediately following exposure to 4 Gy of X-rays and gradually decreased during the culture period. This study reveals that X-irradiation can increase persistent intracellular ROS in human CD34+ HSPCs, which may not result from mitochondrial ROS due to mitochondrial dysfunction, and indicates that substantial DNA double-strand breakage can critically reduce the stem cell function. 相似文献

As a possible approach to the treatment of thrombopocytopenia, the ex vivo expansion of megakaryocytic progenitor cells may be a useful tool to accelerate platelet recovery in vivo. Our objective was to assess the promoting effect of proteoglycans in a serum-free culture condition using human cord blood CD34(+) cells. Highly purified proteoglycan (PG) extracted from the nasal cartilage of salmon heads and the nasal septum cartilage of a whale were applied to the ex vivo expansion of megakaryocytopoiesis and thrombopoiesis from placental and umbilical cord blood CD34(+) cells in serum-free cultures stimulated with a combination of thrombopoietin (TPO) and interleukin-3 (IL-3). Each PG (0.5 and 5 mug) was applied to the culture with three different concentrations of TPO (50, 5 and 0.5 ng/ml) and IL-3 (100, 10 and 1 ng/ml). Both of the PGs showed no promoting effects on the mononuclear cell proliferation rate in any of the cultures. However, the whale-PG promoted the generation of megakaryocytic progenitor cells and megakaryocytes in the culture with a lower dose of cytokines, respectively. In addition, whale-PG led to a significant increase in CD42a(+) particles which seemed to be platelets. While the salmon-PG failed to promote such production in almost all of the cultures. Although whale-PG is an attractive molecule for the ex vivo expansion of human megakaryocytopoiesis, its action may depend on the glycosaminoglycans sulfation pattern and the ability of the binding affinity and the kinetics to interact with the cytokines and hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells. 相似文献

Human mesenchymal stem cells support megakaryocyte and pro-platelet formation from CD34(+) hematopoietic progenitor cells 总被引:22,自引:0,他引:22
Megakaryocytopoiesis and thrombocytopoiesis result from the interactions between hematopoietic progenitor cells, humoral factors, and marrow stromal cells derived from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) or MSCs directly. MSCs are self-renewing marrow cells that provide progenitors for osteoblasts, adipocytes, chondrocytes, myocytes, and marrow stromal cells. MSCs are isolated from bone marrow aspirates and are expanded in adherent cell culture using an optimized media preparation. Culture-expanded human MSCs (hMSCs) express a variety of hematopoietic cytokines and growth factors and maintain long-term culture-initiating cells in long-term marrow culture with CD34(+) hematopoietic progenitor cells. Two lines of evidence suggest that hMSCs function in megakaryocyte development. First, hMSCs express messenger RNA for thrombopoietin, a primary regulator for megakaryocytopoiesis and thrombocytopoiesis. Second, adherent hMSC colonies in primary culture are often associated with hematopoietic cell clusters containing CD41(+) megakaryocytes. The physical association between hMSCs and megakaryocytes in marrow was confirmed by experiments in which hMSCs were copurified by immunoselection using an anti-CD41 antibody. To determine whether hMSCs can support megakaryocyte and platelet formation in vitro, we established a coculture system of hMSCs and CD34(+) cells in serum-free media without exogenous cytokines. These cocultures produced clusters of hematopoietic cells atop adherent MSCs. After 7 days, CD41(+) megakaryocyte clusters and pro-platelet networks were observed with pro-platelets increasing in the next 2 weeks. CD41(+) platelets were found in culture medium and expressed CD62P after thrombin treatment. These results suggest that MSCs residing within the megakaryocytic microenvironment in bone marrow provide key signals to stimulate megakaryocyte and platelet production from CD34(+) hematopoietic cells. 相似文献

Human NUDC (hNUDC) has been previously described as a human homolog of a fungal nuclear migration protein. It is a multifunctional interactive protein that forms an association with the microtubule motor complex in a variety of cells. Our recent studies demonstrated that hNUDC could bind specifically to the thrombopoietin receptor (Mpl) and suggest a potential role for hNUDC in megakaryocytopoiesis and thrombopoiesis. The present study is designed to define its biological activity. We demonstrate that the recombinant hNUDC significantly increases megakaryocyte maturation in serum-free liquid-cultured human CD34(+) cells and stimulates colony formation in serum-free semi-solid cultures. Flow cytometry analyses also confirm the stimulatory effect of hNUDC on megakaryocyte polyploidization and in vitro platelet production. In vivo experiments further demonstrate that the administration of hNUDC substantially enhance the number of circulating platelets in normal mice. 相似文献

Exposure of hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) to ionizing radiation causes a marked suppression of mature functional blood cell production in a linear energy transfer (LET)- and/or dose-dependent manner. However, little information about LET effects on the proliferation and differentiation of HSPCs has been reported. With the aim of characterizing the effects of different types of LET radiations on human myeloid hematopoiesis, in vitro hematopoiesis in Human CD34+ cells exposed to carbon-ion beams or X-rays was compared. Highly purified CD34+ cells exposed to each form of radiation were plated onto semi-solid culture for a myeloid progenitor assay. The surviving fractions of total myeloid progenitors, colony-forming cells (CFC), exposed to carbon-ion beams were significantly lower than of those exposed to X-rays, indicating that CFCs are more sensitive to carbon-ion beams (D
0 = 0.65) than to X-rays (D
0 = 1.07). Similar sensitivities were observed in granulocyte-macrophage and erythroid progenitors, respectively. However, the sensitivities of mixed-type progenitors to both radiation types were similar.In liquid culture for 14 days, no significant difference in total numbers of mononuclear cells was observed between non-irradiated control culture and cells exposed to 0.5 Gy X-rays, whereas 0.5 Gy carbon-ion beams suppressed cell proliferation to 4.9% of the control, a level similar to that for cells exposed to 1.5 Gy X-rays. Cell surface antigens associated with terminal maturation, such as CD13, CD14, and CD15, on harvest from the culture of X-ray-exposed cells were almost the same as those from the non-irradiated control culture. X-rays increased the CD235a+ erythroid-related fraction, whereas carbon-ion beams increased the CD34+CD38− primitive cell fraction and the CD13+CD14+/−CD15− fraction. These results suggest that carbon-ion beams inflict severe damage on the clonal growth of myeloid HSPCs, although the intensity of cell surface antigen expression by mature myeloid cells derived from HSPCs exposed to each type of radiation was similar to that by controls. 相似文献

Combinations of thrombopoietin and cytokines that act on megakaryocyte development (stem cell factor, IL3, IL6, IL11, flt3 ligand (now known as FLT3LG), erythropoietin, GM-CSF and G-CSF were evaluated for their ability to enhance clonal growth in vitro of X-irradiated CD34(+) megakaryocytic progenitor cells (CFU-megakaryocytes) purified from normal human peripheral blood. These data were compared with corresponding results described previously for CD34(+) CFU-megakaryocytes from human placental/umbilical cord blood (I. Kashiwakura, Radiat. Res. 153, 144-152, 2000). All cytokines, except IL3, promoted thrombopoietin-induced colony formation, but they resulted in exponential radiation survival curves. No significant differences in the D(0) (46-61 cGy) and extrapolation number n (1.00-1.04) were observed between thrombopoietin alone and in combination with these cytokines. IL3 did not promote colony formation, but marked shoulders were observed on the survival curves (D(0) = 91 cGy, n = 2.83). Flow cytometric analysis of cells harvested from cultures of X-irradiated cells stimulated with thrombopoietin plus IL3 showed no significant differences in the expression of surface antigens and DNA ploidy distribution of megakaryocytes from the control. These findings suggest that IL3 plays a key role in promoting the survival of X-irradiated CD34(+) CFU-megakaryocytes from peripheral blood as well as those from cord blood, though the former are more radiosensitive. 相似文献

Tumor radiotherapy with large-field irradiation results in an increase in apoptosis of the radiosensitive hematopoietic stem cells (CD34(+)). The aim of this study was to demonstrate the radioprotective potential of MDR1 overexpression in human CD34(+) cells using a lentiviral self-inactivating vector. Transduced human undifferentiated CD34(+) cells were irradiated with 0-8 Gy and held in liquid culture under myeloid-specific maturation conditions. After 12 days, MDR1 expression was determined by the rhodamine efflux assay. The proportion of MDR1-positive cells in cells from four human donors increased with increasing radiation dose (up to a 14-fold increase at 8 Gy). Determination of expression of myeloid-specific surface marker proteins revealed that myeloid differentiation was not affected by transduction and MDR1 overexpression. Irradiation after myeloid differentiation also led to an increase of MDR1-positive cells with escalating radiation doses (e.g. 12.5-16% from 0-8 Gy). Most importantly, fractionated irradiation (3 x 2 Gy; 24-h intervals) of MDR1-transduced CD34(+) cells resulted in an increase in MDR1-positive cells (e.g. 3-8% from 0-3 x 2 Gy). Our results clearly support a radioprotective effect of lentiviral MDR1 overexpression in human CD34(+) cells. Thus enhancing repopulation by surviving stem cells may increase the radiation tolerance of the hematopoietic system, which will contribute to widening the therapeutic index in radiotherapy. 相似文献

Multiple levels of regulation of megakaryocytopoiesis 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
A working hypothesis for the regulation of megakaryocytopoiesis is described on the basis of current data. The hypothesis proposes that in vivo megakaryocytes are generated by 1) the expansion of clonable progenitor cells into immature megakaryocytes by locally produced (and regulated) interleukin-3 (IL-3) and 2) the development and maturation of immature megakaryocytes by a dual system; by a lineage specific mechanism involving thrombopoietic stimuli in the steady state and thrombocytopenic conditions, and by a lineage nonspecific mechanism via IL-3 in damaged or reconstituting marrow. The hypothesis predicts that if IL-3 is a significant in vivo regulator of megakaryocyte formation and development, receptor for IL-3 should be present on megakaryocytes and may be vestigially on platelets. Small but significant levels of 125I IL-3 were found to bind to platelets from normal mice. The level of binding on platelets was found to be enhanced sevenfold from mice that had received high levels of irradiation followed by bone marrow transplantation. This contrasted with a twofold increase in the level of binding to platelets from mice made acutely thrombocytopenic with antiplatelet serum. The data suggest that IL-3 may be involved in the in vivo regulation of murine megakaryocytopoiesis and may be a significant factor in rebound thrombopoiesis following bone marrow damage. 相似文献

Gruel, G., Voisin, P., Vaurijoux, A., Roch-Lefèvre, S., Gré goire, E., Maltère, P., Petat, C., Gidrol, X., Voisin, P. and Roy, L. Broad Modulation of Gene Expression in CD4(+) Lymphocyte Subpopulations in Response to Low Doses of Ionizing Radiation. Radiat. Res. 170, 335-344 (2008).To compare the responses of the different lymphocyte subtypes after an exposure of whole blood to low doses of ionizing radiation, we examined variations in gene expression in different lymphocyte subpopulations using microarray technology. Blood samples from five healthy donors were independently exposed to 0 (sham irradiation), 0.05 and 0.5 Gy of ionizing radiation. Three and 24 h after exposure, CD56(+), CD4(+) and CD8(+) cells were negatively isolated. RNA from each set of experimental conditions was competitively hybridized on 25k oligonucleotide microarrays. Modifications of gene expression were measured after both intervals and in all cell types. Twenty-four hours after exposure to 0.5 Gy, we observed an induction of the expression of BAX, PCNA, GADD45, DDB2 and CDKN1A. However, the numbers of modulated genes greatly differed between cell types. In particular, 3 h after exposure to doses as low as 0.05 Gy, the number of down-modulated genes was 10 times greater for CD4(+) cells than for all other cell types. Moreover, most of these repressed genes were taking part in the cell processes of protein biosynthesis and oxidative phosphorylation. The results suggest that several biological pathways in CD4(+) cells could be sensitive to low doses of radiation. Therefore, specifically studying CD4(+) cells could help to understand the mechanisms involved in low-dose response and allow their detection. 相似文献

Global mechanisms defining the gene expression programs specific for hematopoiesis are still not fully understood. Here, we show that promoter DNA demethylation is associated with the activation of hematopoietic-specific genes. Using genome-wide promoter methylation arrays, we identified 694 hematopoietic-specific genes repressed by promoter DNA methylation in human embryonic stem cells and whose loss of methylation in hematopoietic can be associated with gene expression. The association between promoter methylation and gene expression was studied for many hematopoietic-specific genes including CD45, CD34, CD28, CD19, the T cell receptor (TCR), the MHC class II gene HLA-DR, perforin 1 and the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) and results indicated that DNA demethylation was not always sufficient for gene activation. Promoter demethylation occurred either early during embryonic development or later on during hematopoietic differentiation. Analysis of the genome-wide promoter methylation status of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) generated from somatic CD34(+) HSPCs and differentiated derivatives from CD34(+) HSPCs confirmed the role of DNA methylation in regulating the expression of genes of the hemato-immune system, and indicated that promoter methylation of these genes may be associated to stemness. Together, these data suggest that promoter DNA demethylation might play a role in the tissue/cell-specific genome-wide gene regulation within the hematopoietic compartment. 相似文献

In vivo inhibition of megakaryocyte and platelet production by platelet factor 4 in mice. 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The in vivo effect of human platelet factor 4 (PF4) on murine megakaryocytopoiesis and thrombopoiesis was studied. Administration of PF4 induced a dose-dependent decrease in the numbers of megakaryocytes and their progenitor cells (CFU-MK), continuing for 1 week after the injection. However, the size of megakaryocytes and their colonies was not changed following PF4 injection. Platelet levels were significantly decreased at days 3-4. The number of CFU-GM was decreased at days 1-2. White blood cells and hemoglobin were unaffected by PF4. These data indicate that PF4 inhibits megakaryocyte and platelet production in vivo by acting on the early stage of megakaryocyte development. 相似文献

Differentiation of CD34(+) stem/progenitor cells into megakaryocytes is thought to be a uniform, unidirectional process, in which cells transform step by step from less differentiated precursor stages to more differentiated megakaryocytes. Here we propose the concept and present evidence based on single-cell analysis that differentiation occurs along multiple, partially asynchronous routes. In all CD34(+) cells cultured with thrombopoietin, surface appearance of glycoprotein IIIa (GPIIIa) preceded that of GPIb, indicating that the expression of these glycoproteins occurs in a timely ordered manner. Cellular F-actin content increased in parallel with GPIb expression. Only cells that expressed GPIb were polyploid, pointing to co-regulation of GPIb expression, actin cytoskeleton formation and polyploidization during megakaryocytopoiesis. On the other hand, most progenitor cells responded to thrombin but not to thromboxane A(2) analogue by rises in cytosolic [Ca(2+)](i). The appearance of thromboxane-induced responses during megakaryocytopoiesis was not strictly linked to glycoprotein expression, because cells showed responsiveness either before or after GPIb expression. The same non-strictly sequential pattern was observed for disappearance of the Ca(2+) response by prostacyclin mimetic; in some megakaryocytes it occurred before and in others after GPIb expression. Thus, megakaryocytic differentiation follows along independent routes that are either strictly sequential (GPIIIa and GPIb expression) or proceed at different velocities (Ca(2+) signal regulation). 相似文献

alpha1,6-fucosyltransferase (FUT8) attaches fucose residues via an alpha1,6 linkage to the innermost N-acetylglucosamine residue of N-linked glycans. Glycans with this type of structure are present in GpIIb/GpIIIa complex (CD41a) which is present on megakaryocytes (Mks) and platelets. CD41a is the earliest marker of megakaryocytopoiesis. The aim of this study was to analyse the morphology, phenotype, ploidy level and activity of FUT8 during induced differentiation/maturation of Mk progenitor cells in ex vivo culture. We used SU6656, a selective inhibitor of Src tyrosine kinases, as differentiation-inducing agent for Mks. The addition of SU6656 to the culture system of megakaryocytic progenitors from cord blood CD34(+) cells and Meg-01 cell line induced their maturation towards later stages of Mk differentiation with increased activity of FUT8. We suggest FUT8 as a candidate for an early marker of differentiation and possibly of the ploidy level of Mks. We confirm a special status of FUT8 in megakaryocytopoiesis. 相似文献

alpha1,6-Fucosyltransferase (6FucT, E.C. 2.4.1.68) is one of the enzymes involved in the synthesis of N-linked glycans of the GpIIb/IIIa complex (CD41a) which is present on megakaryocytes (MKs) and platelets. In this study, we examined 6FucT activity in ex vivo cultures of immunoselected cord blood CD34(+) cells grown in a medium promoting megakaryocytopoiesis. Our results show that the activity of 6FucT increased ahead of, and thereafter concomitantly with, cells expressing the CD41a antigen. When the CD41a(+) subpopulation of cells was immunoselected (using anti-CD61 i.e. anti-GpIIIa antibodies), its 6FucT activity increased proportionally to the yield of CD61(+)(+)(+) cells. Taking into account the heavy load of 6FucT in platelets and megakaryocytes, we regard this enzyme as a candidate for the earliest marker of MK-commitment in cultured hematopoietic stem cells. Such a marker should allow an earlier detection and earlier transplantation of patients' own, ex vivo expanded, Mk progenitors. 相似文献
