Cell-intrinsic checkpoints limit the proliferative capacity of primary cells in response to telomere dysfunction. It is not known, however, whether telomere dysfunction contributes to cell-extrinsic alterations that impair stem cell function and organ homeostasis. Here we show that telomere dysfunction provokes defects of the hematopoietic environment that impair B lymphopoiesis but increase myeloid proliferation in aging telomerase knockout (Terc(-/-)) mice. Moreover, the dysfunctional environment limited the engraftment of transplanted wild-type hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). Dysfunction of the hematopoietic environment was age dependent and correlated with progressive telomere shortening in bone marrow stromal cells. Telomere dysfunction impaired mesenchymal progenitor cell function, reduced the capacity of bone marrow stromal cells to maintain functional HSCs, and increased the expression of various cytokines, including granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), in the plasma of aging mice. Administration of G-CSF to wild-type mice mimicked some of the defects seen in aging Terc(-/-) mice, including impairment of B lymphopoiesis and HSC engraftment. Conversely, inhibition of G-CSF improved HSC engraftment in aged Terc(-/-) mice. Taken together, these results show that telomere dysfunction induces alterations of the environment that can have implications for organismal aging and cell transplantation therapies. 相似文献

Hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) are a relatively quiescent pool of cells that perform the arduous task of replacing the short-lived mature cells of the peripheral blood. While a rapid expansion of HSCs under periods of hematological stress is warranted, their enhanced proliferation during homeostasis leads to loss of function. We recently reported that in HSCs, the evolutionarily conserved growth factor erv1-like (Gfer) acts to counter jun activation domain-binding protein 1 (Jab1)-mediated nuclear export and destabilization of the cell cycle inhibitor, p27kip1, by directly binding to and sequestering the COP9 signalosome (CSN) subunit. Through this mechanism, Gfer promotes quiescence and maintains the functional integrity of HSCs. Here, we extend our study to demonstrate an association between Gfer and Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase IV (CaMKIV) in the regulation of HSC proliferation. Highly proliferative and functionally deficient Camk4-/- HSCs possess significantly lower levels of Gfer and p27kip1. Ectopic expression of Gfer restores quiescence and elevates p27kip1 expression in Camk4-/- HSCs. These results further substantiate a critical role for Gfer in the restriction of unwarranted proliferation in HSCs through the inhibition of Jab1 and subsequent stabilization and nuclear retention of p27kip1. This Gfer-mediated pro-quiescence mechanism could be therapeutically exploited in the treatment of hematological malignancies associated with elevated Jab1 and reduced p27kip1.Key words: hematopoietic stem cells, quiescence, proliferation, Gfer, CaMKIV, Jab1, p27kip1, Bcl-2 相似文献

Expansion and/or maintenance of hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) potential following in vitro culture remains a major obstacle in stem cell biology and bone marrow (BM) transplantation. Several studies suggest that culture of mammalian cells in microgravity (micro-g) may reduce proliferation and differentiation of these cells. We investigated the application of these findings to the field of stem cell biology in the hopes of expanding HSC with minimal loss of hematopoietic function. To this end, BM CD34+ cells were cultured for 4-6 d in rotating wall vessels for simulation of micro-g, and assessed for expansion, cell cycle activation, apoptosis, and hematopoietic potential. While CD34+ cells cultured in normal gravity (1-g) proliferated up to threefold by day 4-6, cells cultured in micro-g did not increase in number. As a possible explanation for this, cells cultured in simulated micro-g were found to exit G0/G1 phase of cell cycle at a slower rate than 1-g controls. When assayed for primitive hematopoietic potential in secondary conventional 1-g long-term cultures, cells from initial micro-g cultures produced greater numbers of cells and progenitors, and for a longer period of time, than cultures initiated with 1-g control cells. Similar low levels of apoptosis and adhesion molecule phenotype in micro-g and 1-g-cultured cells suggested similar growth patterns in the two settings. These data begin to elucidate the effects of micro-g on proliferation of human hematopoietic cells and may be potentially beneficial to the fields of stem cell biology and somatic gene therapy. 相似文献

Disruption of the polyubiquitin gene Ubc leads to a defect in fetal liver development, which can be partially rescued by increasing the amount of ubiquitin. However, it is still not known why Ubc is required for fetal liver development and the nature of the defective cell types responsible for embryonic lethality have not been characterized. In this study, we assessed the cause of embryonic lethality with respect to the fetal liver hematopoietic system. We found that Ubc was highly expressed in the embryonic liver, and the proliferation capacity of fetal liver cells was reduced in Ubc(-/-) embryos. Specifically, Ubc was most highly expressed in hematopoietic cells, and the proliferation capacity of hematopoietic cells was significantly impaired in Ubc(-/-) embryos. While hematopoietic cell and hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) frequency was maintained in Ubc(-/-) embryos, the absolute number of these cells was diminished because of reduced total liver cell number in Ubc(-/-) embryos. Transplantations of fetal liver cells into lethally irradiated recipient mice by non-competitive and competitive reconstitution methods indicated that disruption of Ubc does not significantly impair the intrinsic function of fetal liver HSCs. These findings suggest that disruption of Ubc reduces the absolute number of HSCs in embryonic livers, but has no significant effect on the autonomous function of HSCs. Thus, the lethality of Ubc(-/-) embryos is not the result of intrinsic HSC failure. 相似文献

Bone marrow connexin-43 expression is critical for hematopoietic regeneration after chemotherapy 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Contact between bone marrow (BM) hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) and osteoblast/stromal (OS) cells has been shown to be crucial in the regulation of hematopoiesis. However, very little is known about the regulatory mechanisms of direct cell-to-cell communication in the hematopoietic microenvironment. Gap junction channels (connexons) are formed by polypeptides (connexins) arranged in hexamers and represent the best described intercellular communication system. Connexin-43 (Cx43) is expressed by BM OS cells and has been associated with the cadherin/beta -catenin signaling pathway, recently reported as relevant in the OS/HSC interaction at the stem cell niche. Here, we employed an inducible gene-targeted murine approach to study the role of Cx43 in HSC proliferation and differentiation in vivo. Mx-Cre/Cx43+/+ and Mx-Cre/Cx43flox/flox littermates have been analyzed after gene deletion induced in vivo by the interferon-inducer poly (I)-poly (C), generating control (Cx43+) and Cx43-deficient (Cx43-/-) mice. After one week, Cx43+ and Cx43-/- mice were treated with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). Cx43 expression in Cx43-/- BM was markedly reduced (> 90%) as analyzed on day +14 post-5-FU treatment. Cx43 deficiency did not induce a significant change in peripheral blood counts before 5-FU treatment, but the hematopoiesis recovery after 5-FU treatment was severely impaired as demonstrated by absence of recovery of peripheral blood counts, including profound neutropenia, anemia with reticulocytopenia, thrombocytopenia and a 5- to 8-fold decrease of cellularity and hematopoietic progenitor content (granulomacrophagic colony-forming-units (CFU-GM-), erythroid burst forming units (BFU-E) and mixed colony forming units (CFU-mix-) in BM and spleen on day +14 post-5-FU treatment. However, the femoral content of Lin-/c-kit+/Sca1+ cells in Cx43-/- BM was maintained when compared to Cx43+ BM. Short-term competitive repopulation ability of Cx43-/- BM cells was diminished as compared to Cx43+ mice, specifically for myeloid and B lymphoid cells, but showed spared long-term competitive repopulation ability with roughly normal hematopoietic differentiation. These data suggest that hematopoietic regeneration after cycle-specific chemotherapy is blocked in Cx43-deficient mice at the long-term HSC repopulating level. Cx43 expression within the BM appears to be crucial in the development of an efficient response to hematopoietic stress. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of bone marrow-mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSC) and exogenously added cytokines on the proliferation, primitive cell subpopulation maintenance (including the c-kit+ marker) and clonogenic capacity of hematopoietic stem cells (HSC). BM-MSC were collected from volunteer donors, isolated and characterized. Umbilical cord blood (UCB) samples were collected from healthy full-term deliveries. UCB-CD34+ cells were cultured in the presence or absence of BM-MSC and/or cytokines for 3 and 7 days. CD34+ cell proliferation was evaluated using the CSFE method and cell phenotype was determined by CD34, c-kit, CD33, CD38, HLA-DR, cyCD22 and cyCD3 detection. Cell clonogenic ability was also assessed. Exogenously added SCF, TPO and FLT3L increasedCD34+ cell proliferation in the presence or absence of BM-MSC, but with concomitant cell differentiation. Without any added cytokines, BM-MSC are able to increase the percentage of primitive progenitors as evaluated by c-kit expression and CFU-GEMM increase. Interestingly, this latter effect was dependent on both cell-cell interactions and secreted factors. A 7-day co-culture period will be optimal for obtaining an increased primitive HSC level. Including c-kit as a marker for primitive phenotype evaluation has shown the relevance of BM-MSC and their secreted factors on UCB-HSC stemness function. This effect could be dissociated from that of the addition of exogenous cytokines, which induced cellular differentiation instead. 相似文献

HOXB4-induced expansion of adult hematopoietic stem cells ex vivo 总被引:48,自引:0,他引:48

HoxB4 has been shown to enhance hematopoietic engraftment by hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) from differentiating mouse embryonic stem cell (mESC) cultures. Here we examined the effect of ectopic expression of HoxB4 in differentiated human embryonic stem cells (hESCs). Stable HoxB4-expressing hESCs were established by lentiviral transduction, and the forced expression of HoxB4 did not affect stem cell features. HoxB4-expressing hESC-derived CD34+ cells generated higher numbers of erythroid and blast-like colonies than controls. The number of CD34+ cells increased but CD45+ and KDR+ cell numbers were not significantly affected. When the hESC derived CD34+ cells were transplanted into NOD/SCID beta 2m-/- mice, the ectopic expression of HoxB4 did not alter their repopulating capacity. Our findings show that overexpression of HoxB4 in differentiating hESCs increases hematopoietic colony formation and hematopoietic cell formation in vitro, but does not affect in vivo repopulation in adult mice hosts. 相似文献

Abnormal angiogenesis but intact hematopoietic potential in TGF-beta type I receptor-deficient mice 总被引:22,自引:0,他引:22

Deletion of the transforming growth factor beta1 (TGF-beta1) gene in mice has previously suggested that it regulates both hematopoiesis and angiogenesis. To define the function of TGF-beta more precisely, we inactivated the TGF-beta type I receptor (TbetaRI) gene by gene targeting. Mice lacking TbetaRI die at midgestation, exhibiting severe defects in vascular development of the yolk sac and placenta, and an absence of circulating red blood cells. However, despite obvious anemia in the TbetaRI(-/-) yolk sacs, clonogenic assays on yolk sac-derived hematopoietic precursors in vitro revealed that TbetaRI(-/-) mice exhibit normal hematopoietic potential compared with wild-type and heterozygous siblings. Endothelial cells derived from TbetaRI-deficient embryos show enhanced cell proliferation, improper migratory behavior and impaired fibronectin production in vitro, defects that are associated with the vascular defects seen in vivo. We thus demonstrate here that, while TbetaRI is crucial for the function of TGF-beta during vascular development and can not be compensated for by the activin receptor-like kinase-1 (ALK-1), functional hematopoiesis and development of hematopoietic progenitors is not dependent on TGF-beta signaling via TbetaRI. 相似文献

Human bone marrow cells expressing CD34 but not HLA-DR were isolated by immunofluorescence flow cytometric cell sorting. These cells contained a hematopoietic cell (CFU-B1) capable of producing, in an in vitro semisolid culture system, blast-cell-containing colonies, which possessed the capacity for self-renewal and commitment to multipotential differentiation. In addition, CD34+ HLA-DR- marrow cells contained primitive megakaryocyte progenitor cells, the burst-forming unit-megakaryocyte (BFU-MK). A subset of CD34+ HLA-DR- marrow cells lacking the expression of CD15 and CD71 was obtained by flow cytometric cell sorting and was capable of sustaining in vitro hematopoiesis in suspension culture for up to 8 weeks in the absence of a preestablished adherent marrow cell layer. The combination of IL-3 + IL-1 alpha and IL-3 + IL-6 sustained proliferation of these cells for 8 weeks, induced maximal cellular expansion, and increased the numbers of assayable progenitor cells. These studies demonstrate that human CD34+ HLA-DR- marrow cells and their subsets contain primitive multipotential hematopoietic cells capable of self-renewal and of differentiation into multiple hematopoietic lineages. 相似文献

During embryonic development, the hematopoietic system is the first to generate terminally differentiated, functional cell types. The urgent necessity for the early formation of blood and blood vessels during embryogenesis means that the induction, expansion, and maturation of these systems must be rapidly and precisely controlled. Bone morphogenic proteins (BMPs) have been implicated in hematopoietic development in the vertebrate embryo and stimulate the proliferation and/or differentiation of human cord blood hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) and embryonic stem cells in vitro. Here we review the mechanisms of action and potential roles of these soluble signaling molecules in vertebrate hematopoiesis. 相似文献

Individual members of the retinoblastoma (Rb) tumor suppressor gene family serve critical roles in the control of cellular proliferation and differentiation, but the extent of their contributions is masked by redundant and compensatory mechanisms. Here we employed a conditional knockout strategy to simultaneously inactivate all three members, Rb, p107, and p130, in adult hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). Rb family triple knockout (TKO) mice develop a cell-intrinsic myeloproliferation that originates from hyperproliferative early hematopoietic progenitors and is accompanied by increased apoptosis in lymphoid progenitor populations. Loss of quiescence in the TKO HSC pool is associated with an expansion of these mutant stem cells but also with an enhanced mobilization and an impaired reconstitution potential upon transplantation. The presence of a single p107 allele is sufficient to largely rescue these defects. Thus, Rb family members collectively maintain HSC quiescence and the balance between lymphoid and myeloid cell fates in the hematopoietic system. 相似文献

Ex vivo expansion of umbilical cord blood 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

The efficacy of cord blood (CB) transplantation is limited by the low cell dose available. Low cell doses at transplant are correlated with delayed engraftment, prolonged neutropenia and thrombocytopenia and elevated risk of graft failure. To potentially improve the efficacy of CB transplantation, approaches have been taken to increase the cell dose available. One approach is the transplantation of multiple cord units, another the use of ex vivo expansion. Evidence for a functional and phenotypic heterogeneity exists within the HSC population and one concern associated with ex vivo expansion is that the expansion of lower 'quality' hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPC) occurs at the expense of higher 'quality' HPC, thereby impacting the reserve of the graft. There is evidence that this is a valid concern while other evidence suggests that higher quality HPC are preserved and not exhausted. Currently, ex vivo expansion processes include: (1) liquid expansion: CD34+ or CD133+ cells are selected and cultured in medium containing factors targeting the proliferation and self-renewal of primitive hematopoietic progenitors; (2) co-culture expansion: unmanipulated CB cells are cultured with stromal components of the hematopoietic microenvironment, specifically mesenchymal stem cells (MSC), in medium containing growth factors; and (3) continuous perfusion: CB HPC are cultured with growth factors in 'bioreactors' rather than in static cultures. These approaches are discussed. Ultimately, the goal of ex vivo expansion is to increase the available dose of the CB cells responsible for successful engraftment, thereby reducing the time to engraftment and reducing the risk of graft failure. 相似文献

A hypomorphic Prep1 mutation results in embryonic lethality at late gestation with a pleiotropic embryonic phenotype that includes defects in all hematopoietic lineages. Reduced functionality of the hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) compartment might be responsible for the hematopoietic phenotype observed at mid-gestation. In this paper we demonstrate that Prep1 regulates the number of HSCs in fetal livers (FLs), their clonogenic potential and their ability to de novo generate the hematopoietic system in ablated hosts. Furthermore, we show that Prep1 controls the self-renewal ability of the FL HSC compartment as demonstrated by serial transplantation experiments. The premature exhaustion of Prep1 mutant HSCs correlates with the reduced quiescent stem cell pool thus suggesting that Prep1 regulates the self-renewal ability by controlling the quiescence/proliferation balance. Finally, we show that in FL HSCs Prep1 absence induces the interferon signaling pathway leading to premature cycling and exhaustion of fetal HSCs. 相似文献

Ex vivo differentiation of umbilical cord blood progenitor cells in the presence of placental conditioned medium 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1

Hematopoetic stem cells (HSC) are the progenitors for the lympho-hematopoietic system, with long lifespan and high proliferation potential. Transplantation of HSC from bone marrow or peripheral blood represents a standard therapy in severe hematological conditions. A possible alternative source of HSC is the umbilical cord blood, prepared by various separation procedures followed by expansion in cultures supplemented with hematopoietic growth factors. In order to check the effects of placental conditioned medium (PCM) from placental cells culture upon viability of HSC, we added plasma, PCM, dimetil sulfoxyde or hemin in HSC cultures. Flow cytometry or direct scoring of solid cultures using CD45+, CD34+, CD71+ and CD14+ fluorescent-labeled monoclonal antibodies evaluated the effects upon cell proliferation and colony forming ability of HSC cultures, versus controls. PCM produced the highest proliferation, followed by plasma, DMSO and hemin. PCM improved the survival time and maintained a higher proportion of immature cells. PCM stimulates the differentiation towards myeloid lineage progenitor cells (>90% being CD45+), increasing the percentage of CD14+, granulocites /monocytes precursors. It is highly suggestive that PCM contains growth factors or cytokines, which regulate the development of HSC. Characterization of these factors is in progress. 相似文献

The importance of apoptosis, in combination with proliferation, in maintaining stable populations has become increasingly clear in the last decade. Perturbation of either of these processes can have serious consequences, and result in a variety of disorders. Moreover, as the players and pathways gradually emerge, it turns out that there are strong connections in the regulation of cell cycle progression and apoptosis. Apoptosis, proliferation, and the disorders resulting from aberrant regulation have been studied in a variety of cell types and systems. Hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) are defined as primitive mesenchymal cells that are capable of both self-renewal and differentiation into the various cell lineages that constitute the functioning hematopoietic system. Many (but certainly not all) mature hematopoietic cells are relatively short-lived, sometimes with a half-life in the order of days. Homeostasis requires the production of 108 (mouse) to 1011 (human) cells each day. All of these cells are ultimately derived from HSC that mostly reside in the bone marrow in adult mammals. The study of the regulation of HSC numbers has focussed mainly on the choice between self-renewal and differentiation, symmetric and asymmetric cell divisions. Recently, however, it has been directly demonstrated that apoptosis plays an important role in the regulation of hematopoietic stem cells in vivo. 相似文献
