Enhancement of stem cell Ag-1 (Sca-1) expression by myeloid precursors promotes the granulopoietic response to bacterial infection. However, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. ERK pathway activation strongly enhances proliferation of hematopoietic progenitor cells. In this study, we investigated the role of Sca-1 in promoting ERK-dependent myeloid lineage proliferation and the effects of alcohol on this process. Thirty minutes after i.p. injection of alcohol, mice received i.v. challenge with 5 × 10(7) Escherichia coli for 8 or 24 h. A subset of mice received i.v. BrdU injection 20 h after challenge. Bacteremia increased Sca-1 expression, ERK activation, and proliferation of myeloid and granulopoietic precursors. Alcohol administration suppressed this response and impaired granulocyte production. Sca-1 expression positively correlated with ERK activation and cell cycling, but negatively correlated with myeloperoxidase content in granulopoietic precursors. Alcohol intoxication suppressed ERK activation in granulopoietic precursors and proliferation of these cells during bacteremia. Granulopoietic precursors in Sca-1(-/-) mice failed to activate ERK signaling and could not increase granulomacrophagic CFU activity following bacteremia. These data indicate that Sca-1 expression promotes ERK-dependent myeloid cell proliferation during bacteremia. Suppression of this response could represent an underlying mechanism for developing myelosuppression in alcohol-abusing hosts with severe bacterial infection.  相似文献

When granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), purified to homogeneity from mouse lung-conditioned medium, was added to agar cultures of mouse bone marrcw cells, it stimulated the formation of small numbers of granulocytic colonies. At high concentrations of G-CSF, a small proportion of macrophage and granulocyte-macrophage colonies also developed. G-CSF stimulated colony formation by highly enriched progenitor cell populations obtained by fractionation of mouse fetal liver cells using a fluorescence-activated cell sorter, indicating that G-CSF probably acts directly on target progenitor cells. Granulocytic colonies stimulated by G-CSF were small and uniform in size, and at 7 days of culture were composed of highly differentiated cells. Studies using clonal transfer and the delayed addition of other regulators showed that G-CSF could directly stimulate the initial proliferation of a large proportion of the granulocvte-macrophage progenitors in adult marrow and also the survival and/or proliferation of some multipotential, erythroid, and eosinophil progenitors in fetal liver. However, G-CSF was unable to sustain continued proliferation of these cells to result in colony formation. When G-CSF was mixed with purified granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) or macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF), the combination stimulated the formation by adult marrow cells of more granulocyte-macrophage colonies than either stimulus alone and an overall size increase in all colonies. G-CSF behaves as a predominantly granulopoietic stimulating factor but has some capacity to stimulate the initial proliferation of the same wide range of progenitor cells as that stimulated by GM-CSF.  相似文献

Thrombopoietin (TPO), the primary regulator of megakaryocyte (MK) and platelet formation, modulates the activity of multiple signal transduction molecules, including those in the Jak/STAT, p42/p44 MAPK, and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt pathways. We previously demonstrated that PI3K and Akt are necessary for TPO-induced cell cycle progression of primary MK progenitors. However, the molecular events secondary to the activation of PI3K/Akt responsible for MK proliferation remain unclear. In this study we show that FOXO3a and its downstream target p27Kip1 play an important role in TPO-induced proliferation of MK progenitors. We found that TPO down-modulates p27Kip1 expression at both the mRNA and protein levels in primary MKs in a PI3K dependent fashion. UT-7/TPO, a megakaryocytic cell line, stably expressing constitutively active Akt or a dominant-negative form of FOXO3a failed to reduce p27Kip1 expression after TPO stimulation, and fail to induce p27Kip1 expression following TPO withdrawal. Induced expression of an active form of FOXO3a resulted in increased p27Kip1 expression in this cell line. In addition, the number of MKs is significantly increased in bone marrow from Foxo3a-deficient mice. Taken together with the previous observation that p27Kip1-deficient mice also display increased numbers of MK progenitors, our findings indicate that the PI3K/Akt/FOXO3a/p27Kip1 pathway contributes to normal TPO-induced MK proliferation.  相似文献

Although it is evident that BCR-ABL can rescue cytokine-deprived hematopoietic progenitor cells from cell cycle arrest and apoptosis, the exact mechanism of action of BCR/ABL and interleukin (IL)-3 to promote proliferation and survival has not been established. Using the pro-B cell line BaF3 and a BaF3 cell line stably overexpressing BCR-ABL (BaF3-p210), we investigated the proliferative signals derived from BCR-ABL and IL-3. The results indicate that both IL-3 and BCR-ABL target the expression of cyclin Ds and down-regulation of p27(Kip1) to mediate pRB-related pocket protein phosphorylation, E2F activation, and thus S phase progression. These findings were further confirmed in a BaF3 cell line (TonB.210) where the BCR-ABL expression is inducible by doxycyclin and by using the drug STI571 to inactivate BCR-ABL activity in BaF3-p210. To establish the functional significance of cyclin D2 and p27(Kip1) expression in response to IL-3 and BCR-ABL expression, we studied the effects of ectopic expression of cyclin D2 and p27(Kip1) on cell proliferation and survival. Our results demonstrate that both cyclin D2 and p27(Kip1) have a role in BaF3 cell proliferation and survival, as ectopic expression of cyclin D2 is sufficient to abolish the cell cycle arrest and apoptosis induced by IL-3 withdrawal or by BCR-ABL inactivation, while overexpression of p27(Kip1) can cause cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in the BaF3 cells. Furthermore, our data also suggest that cyclin D2 functions upstream of p27(Kip1), cyclin E, and cyclin D3, and therefore, plays an essential part in integrating the signals from IL-3 and BCR-ABL with the pRB/E2F pathway.  相似文献

Human granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) was previously shown to support the survival and proliferation of early myeloid progenitors (pre-CFU) that are capable of generating more mature CFU-GM progenitor cells. To evaluate the scope of action of G-CSF in the hierarchy of hematopoietic stem cells, we studied the effects of recombinant G-CSF (rhG-CSF) on long-term cultures of normal human bone marrow cells (LTBMC). We found that rhG-CSF predominantly influenced initial cell proliferation and expansion of CFU-GM progenitor cells in LTBMC before establishment of a confluent adherent layer. In rhG-CSF-treated LTBMC, the stromal cell layer was associated with a higher proliferative capacity and progenitor cell content as compared to control cultures. This effect was pronounced early after layer confluence and was gradually lost with culture time. rhG-CSF did not alter the duration of the productive phase of LTBMC, suggesting that it may not be active on the hematopoietic stem cells responsible for LTBMC propagation. Alternatively, stromal cells may exert tight regulatory control over progenitor cells, even in the presence of rhG-CSF.  相似文献

Hematopoietic cell development and function is dependent on cytokines and on intercellular interactions with the microenvironment. Although the intracellular signaling pathways stimulated by cytokine receptors are well described, little is known about the mechanisms through which these pathways modulate hematopoietic cell adhesion events in the microenvironment. Here we show that cytokine-activated Stat3 stimulates the expression and function of cell surface adhesion molecules in the myeloid progenitor cell line 32D. We generated an erythropoietin receptor (EpoR) isoform (ER343/401-S3) that activates Stat3 rather than Stat5 by substituting the Stat3 binding/activation sequence motif from gp130 for the sequences surrounding tyrosines 343 and 401 in the receptor cytoplasmic region. Activation of Stat3 leads to homotypic cell aggregation, increased expression of intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1), CD18, and CD11b, and activation of signaling through CD18-containing integrins. Unlike the wild type EpoR, ER343/401-S3 is unable to support long term Epo-dependent proliferation in 32D cells. Instead, Epo-treated ER343/401-S3 cells undergo G(1) arrest and express elevated levels of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p27(Kip1). Sustained activation of Stat3 in these cells is required for their altered morphology and growth properties since constitutive SOCS3 expression abrogates homotypic cell aggregation, signaling through CD18-containing integrins, G(1) arrest, and accumulation of p27(Kip1). Collectively, our results demonstrate that cytokine-activated Stat3 stimulates the expression and function of cell surface adhesion molecules, indicating that a role for Stat3 is to regulate intercellular contacts in myeloid cells.  相似文献

Galectin-3 is an endogenous mammalian carbohydrate-binding protein with affinity for ABH group carbohydrate epitopes and polylactosamine glycans present on cell surface and extracellular matrix glycoproteins. It has been shown to play a role in cell differentiation, morphogenesis, adhesion and cell proliferation regulation. Progenitor cell proliferation in bone marrow depends on stem cell factors including those modulating their adhesion to the bone marrow stroma. The present study shows that the 32 kD galectin-3 is developmentally expressed in human myeloid cells and is strongly upregulated on the cell surface of late mature myeloid cells. Despite the fact that the expression of the galectin-3 is very low in CD34+ early myeloid cell, a 70 kD protein is found by Western blotting using antibodies specific to galectin-3, exclusively in those cells. Finally, exogenous human recombinant galectin-3 binds strongly to CD34+ early myeloid cells and emphasizes granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) driven proliferation in vitro.  相似文献

Granulocyte-Macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and Granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) are cytokines involved in the differentiation of bone marrow progenitor cells into myeloid cells. They also activate mature myeloid cells to mediate a variety of antimicrobial activities and inflammatory responses. Recombinant GM-CSF and G-CSF proteins have been used to treat various diseases including cancer and hematopoietic diseases and to isolate peripheral blood progenitor cells for bone marrow transplantation. A plasmid construct expressing recombinant human G-CSF/GM-CSF fusion protein has now been prepared by linking the human G-CSF and GM-CSF coding regions and the recombinant fusion protein has been successfully expressed in E. coli. The recombinant human G-CSF/GM-CSF fusion protein was extracted and purified from the cellular inclusion and refolded into the biologically active form to show colony stimulating activity. The recombinant fusion protein exhibited colony stimulating activity on human bone marrow cell cultures, indicating that the linkage of GM-CSF and G-CSF by a linker peptide may not interrupt activities of the cytokines in the fusion protein. The colony forming unit of the fusion protein was also higher than those of the cultures treated with the same molar numbers of the recombinant human GM-CSF and G-CSF separately, which suggests that the fusion protein presumably retains both G-CSF and GM-CSF activities.  相似文献

CD137 is a member of the TNFR family, and reverse signaling through the CD137 ligand, which is expressed as a cell surface transmembrane protein, costimulates or activates APCs. CD137 and CD137 ligand are expressed on small subsets of bone marrow cells. Activation of bone marrow cells through CD137 ligand induces proliferation, colony formation and an increase in cell numbers. Compared with total bone marrow cells, the small subpopulation of progenitor cells that express no lineage markers but express CD117 cells (or Lin(-), CD117(+) cells) responds with the same activities to CD137 ligand signaling, but at a significantly enhanced rate. Concomitantly to proliferation, the cells differentiate to CFU granulocyte-macrophage and CFU macrophage, and then to monocytes and macrophages but not to granulocytes or dendritic cells. Hematopoietic progenitor cells differentiated in the presence of CD137 protein display enhanced phagocytic activity, secrete high levels of IL-10 but little IL-12 in response to LPS, and are incapable of stimulating T cell proliferation. These data demonstrate that reverse CD137 ligand signaling takes place in hematopoietic progenitor cells, in which it induces proliferation, an increase in cell numbers, colony formation, and differentiation toward monocytes and macrophages.  相似文献

Objective

The therapeutic use of thiazolidinediones (TZDs) causes unwanted hematological side effects, although the underlying mechanisms of these effects are poorly understood. This study tests the hypothesis that rosiglitazone impairs the maintenance and differentiation of hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells, which ultimately leads to hematological abnormalities.

Methods

Mice were fed a rosiglitazone-supplemented diet or a normal diet for 6 weeks. To induce hematopoietic stress, all mice were injected once with 250 mg/kg 5-fluorouracil (5-Fu) intraperitoneally. Next, hematopoietic recovery, hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) subsets, and myeloid differentiation after 5-Fu treatment were evaluated. The adipogenesis induced by rosiglitazone was assessed by histopathology and oil red O staining. The effect of adipocytes on HSPCs was studied with an in vitro co-culture system.

Results

Rosiglitazone significantly enhanced bone marrow adipogenesis and delayed hematopoietic recovery after 5-Fu treatment. Moreover, rosiglitazone inhibited proliferation of a granulocyte/monocyte progenitor (GMP) cell population and granulocyte/macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) colonies, although the proliferation and mobilization of Lin-c-kit+Sca-1+ cells (LSK) was maintained following hematopoietic stress. These effects could be partially reversed by the selective PPARγ antagonist BADGE. Finally, we demonstrated in a co-culture system that differentiated adipocytes actively suppressed the myeloid differentiation of HSPCs.

Conclusion

Taken together, our results demonstrate that rosiglitazone inhibits myeloid differentiation of HSPCs after stress partially by inducing bone marrow adipogenesis. Targeting the bone marrow microenvironment might be one mechanism by which rosiglitazone impairs stress-induced hematopoiesis.  相似文献

p27Kip1 is a critical modulator of cell proliferation by controlling assembly, localization and activity of cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK). p27Kip1 also plays important roles in malignant transformation, modulating cell movement and interaction with the extracellular matrix. A critical p27Kip1 feature is the lack of a stable tertiary structure that enhances its “adaptability” to different interactors and explains the heterogeneity of its function. The absence of a well-defined folding underlines the importance of p27Kip1 post-translational modifications that might highly impact the protein functions. Here, we characterize the metabolism and CDK interaction of phosphoserine10-p27Kip1 (pS10- p27Kip1), the major phosphoisoform of p27Kip1. By an experimental strategy based on specific immunoprecipitation and bidimensional electrophoresis, we established that pS10-p27Kip1 is mainly bound to cyclin E/CDK2 rather than to cyclin A/CDK2. pS10- p27Kip1 is more stable than non-modified p27Kip1, since it is not (or scarcely) phosphorylated on T187, the post-translational modification required for p27Kip1 removal in the nucleus. pS10-p27Kip1 does not bind CDK1. The lack of this interaction might represent a mechanism for facilitating CDK1 activation and allowing mitosis completion. In conclusion, we suggest that nuclear p27Kip1 follows 2 almost independent pathways operating at different rates. One pathway involves threonine-187 and tyrosine phosphorylations and drives the protein toward its Skp2-dependent removal. The other involves serine-10 phosphorylation and results in the elongation of p27Kip1 half-life and specific CDK interactions. Thus, pS10-p27Kip1, due to its stability, might be thought as a major responsible for the p27Kip1-dependent arrest of cells in G1/G0 phase.  相似文献

Background

Granulocytes and monocytes/macrophages differentiate from common myeloid progenitor cells. Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) and CD137 (4-1BB, TNFRSF9) are growth and differentiation factors that induce granulocyte and macrophage survival and differentiation, respectively. This study describes the influence of G-CSF and recombinant CD137-Fc protein on myelopoiesis.

Methodology/Principal Findings

Both, G-CSF and CD137 protein support proliferation and survival of murine bone marrow cells. G-CSF enhances granulocyte numbers while CD137 protein enhances macrophage numbers. Both growth factors together give rise to more cells than each factor alone. Titration of G-CSF and CD137 protein dose-dependently changes the granulocyte/macrophage ratio in bone marrow cells. Both factors individually induce proliferation of hematopoietic progenitor cells (lin-, c-kit+) and differentiation to granulocytes and macrophages, respectively. The combination of G-CSF and CD137 protein further increases proliferation, and results in a higher number of macrophages than CD137 protein alone, and a lower number of granulocytes than G-CSF alone demonstrating that CD137 protein-induced monocytic differentiation is dominant over G-CSF-induced granulocytic differentiation. CD137 protein induces monocytic differentiation even in early hematopoietic progenitor cells, the common myeloid progenitors and the granulocyte macrophage progenitors.

Conclusions/Significance

This study confirms earlier data on the regulation of myelopoiesis by CD137 receptor - ligand interaction, and extends them by demonstrating the restriction of this growth promoting influence to the monocytic lineage.  相似文献

The proliferation of neutrophil granulocyte lineage is driven largely by granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) acting via the G-CSF receptors. In this study, we show that mice lacking cyclin D3, a component of the core cell cycle machinery, are refractory to stimulation by the G-CSF. Consequently, cyclin D3-null mice display deficient maturation of granulocytes in the bone marrow and have reduced levels of neutrophil granulocytes in their peripheral blood. The mutant mice are unable to mount a normal response to bacterial challenge and succumb to microbial infections. In contrast, the expansion of hematopoietic stem cells and lineage-committed myeloid progenitors proceeds relatively normally in mice lacking cyclin D3, revealing that the requirement for cyclin D3 function operates at later stages of neutrophil development. Importantly, we verified that this requirement is specific to cyclin D3, as mice lacking other G(1) cyclins (D1, D2, E1, or E2) display normal granulocyte counts. Our analyses revealed that in the bone marrow cells of wild-type mice, activation of the G-CSF receptor leads to upregulation of cyclin D3. Collectively, these results demonstrate that cyclin D3 is an essential cell cycle recipient of G-CSF signaling, and they provide a molecular link of how G-CSF-dependent signaling triggers cell proliferation.  相似文献

The cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p27(Kip1) is a critical regulator of T cell proliferation. To further examine the relationship of T cell proliferation and differentiation, we examined the ability of T cells deficient in p27(Kip1) to differentiate into Th subsets. We observed increased Th2 differentiation in p27(Kip1)-deficient cultures. In addition to increases in CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells, there is a similar increase in gamma delta T cells in p27(Kip1)-deficient mice compared with wild-type mice. The increase in Th2 differentiation is correlated to an increase of IL-4 secretion by CD4(+)DX5(+)TCR alpha beta(+)CD62L(low) T cells but not to increased expansion of differentiating Th2 cells. While STAT4- and STAT6-deficient T cells have diminished proliferative responses to IL-12 and IL-4, respectively, proliferative responses are increased in T cells doubly deficient in p27(Kip1) and STAT4 or STAT6. In contrast, the increased proliferation and differentiative capacity of p27(Kip1)-deficient T cells has no effect on the ability of STAT4/p27(Kip1)- or STAT6/p27(Kip1)-deficient CD4(+) cells to differentiate into Th1 or Th2 cells, respectively. Thus, while p27(Kip1) regulates the expansion and homeostasis of several T cell subsets, it does not affect the differentiation of Th subsets.  相似文献

Intravenously administered cuprozinc-superoxide dismutase in X-irradiated mice hastens the recovery of peripheral blood cells. This effect is consistent with protection of the pluripotent stem cells by the enzyme. Amongst the bone marrow cells committed to differentiation along the myeloid pathway, there exists in mice a subpopulation of macrophage progenitor cells that is inactivated by superoxide radicals, generated photochemically or by X-rays. This cell killing effect is inhibited by superoxide dismutase, in part because it acts intracellularly. Human bone marrow also contain a superoxide-sensitive subpopulation of myeloid progenitor cells that is protected by superoxide dismutase but not by catalase. As well, human myeloid progenitor cells contain a subpopulation with enhanced sensitivity to X-rays in vitro. Treatment of these cells with exogenous superoxide dismutase reduces the sensitivity to X-rays by a factor of 2.  相似文献
