The response and subsequent recovery of mouse haemopoietic progenitor cells (spleen colony forming cells and agar colony forming cells) has been studied following two cytotoxic agents. Busulphan was administered to normal mice and vinblastine to mice where the progenitor cell proliferation rate had been increased by a period of continuous γ-irradiation. With both these agents there is a difference between the response of the spleen colony forming cells and the agar colony forming cells during the first five days. They then recover together, but much more slowly after busulphan than after vinblastine even though their proliferation rate is increased. The rate of progenitor cell recovery after busulphan is increased if the progenitor cells are depleted further by vinblastine. However, methotrexate, which severely depletes the peripheral blood count and bone marrow cellularity but not the progenitor cells, has no effect on the recovery following busulphan. These results suggest that following cytotoxic agents the agar colony forming cells (“committed” stem cells) are not self-maintaining but are dependent on a supply of cells from the pluripotential spleen colony forming cells. In addition it appears that the depletion of the progenitor cells of the bone marrow and not the depletion of the maturing cells, provides a stimulus for stem cell recovery.  相似文献

The ‘thymidine suicide’technique for indicating differences in the proliferation rate of early haemopoietic progenitor cells (spleen colony forming and agar colony forming cells) in C57BL mice has been evaluated. Special care was taken to use the same bone marrow cell suspension for the two progenitor cell assays. Both the in vivo and the in vitro techniques were employed. Following 3H-TdR in vivo, about 20% of both types of progenitor cell are killed in normal mice; however, after incubation in vitro with 3H-TdR, 35% of agar colony forming cells but only 4% of spleen colony forming cells are killed. Reasons for the difference between the in vivo and the in vitro results are discussed. With bone marrow from continuously irradiated animals, the thymidine suicide for both agar colony forming and spleen colony forming cells is in the range 42–50%, and there is no difference between in vivo and in vitro suicide. The in vivo results support the conclusion, based on the effect of proliferation dependent cytotoxic agents, that in C57BL mice agar colony forming and spleen colony forming cells are proliferating at the same rate in normal animals, and are speeded up to the same extent by continuous γ-irradiation. It is considered that in normal C57BL mice the in vitro method does not give a correct estimate of the proliferation rate of these progenitor cells. It would seem that the similarity in the proliferation rate of agar colony forming and spleen colony forming cells in C57BL mice is not true for other strains of mice: indeed using normal CBA and in vivo suicide, we have shown a significantly greater thymidine suicide for agar colony forming cells compared to spleen colony forming cells.  相似文献

Hemopoietic colony formation in agar occurred spontaneously in mass cultures of marrow cells obtained from a number of species (guinea pig, rat, lamb, rabbit, pig, calf, human and Rhesus monkey). This contrasted with the observation that colony formation by mouse bone marrow exhibited an absolute requirement for an exogenous source of a colony stimulating factor. Analysis of spontaneous colony formation in Rhesus monkey marrow cultures revealed the presence of a cell type in hemopoietic tissue, capable of elaborating colony stimulating factor when used to condition media or as feeder layers. Equilibrium density gradient centrifugation separated colony stimulating cells from in vitro colony forming cells in monkey bone marrow. Separation studies on spleen, blood and marrow characterized the stimulating cells as of intermediate density, depleted or absent in fractions enriched for cells of the granulocytic series and localized in regions containing lymphocytes and monocytes. Adherence column separation of peripheral blood leukocytes showed the stimulating cells to be actively adherent, unlike the majority of lymphocytes, and combined adherence column and density separation indicated that stimulating cells were present in hemopoietic tissue within the population of adherent lymphocytes or monocytes.  相似文献

Regulation of haematopoiesis was investigated by studying the response of haematopoietic tissues of mice to a perturbation of the steady state by vinblastine (VLB). Progenitor cells were quantified ly limiting dilution analysis of diffusion chamber cultures of haematopoietic cells and by the spleen colony technique. The diffusion chamber technique appears to assay granulocyte progenitor cells and those multipotent progenitor cells that become committed to granulopoiesis during chamber culture. The spleen colony technique probably assays multipotent progenitor cells. Decaying oscillatory responses to VLB were observed for progenitor cells as well as for differentiating cells in bone marrow. The period lengths of the diffusion chamber progenitor cell oscillations might indicate that these were induced by humoral feedback signal(s) from nonproliferative granulocytes. The oscillations of the multipotent progenitor cells of bone marrow were less pronounced and were earlier damped than those of the granulocyte progenitor cells. This may support the hypotesis that multipotent progenitor cells are regulated by more efficient mechanisms, which may depend on short range cell-cell interactions rather than long range humoral regulators.  相似文献

The in vitro proliferation and differentiation of myeloid progenitor cells (CFU-c) in agar culture from CBA/Ca mouse bone marrow cells was studied. Density subpopulations of marrow cells were obtained by equilibrium centrifugation in continuous albumin density gradients. The formation of colonies of granulocytes and/or macrophages was studied under the influence of three types of colony-stimulating factor (CSF) from mouse lung conditioned medium CSFMLCM), post-endotoxin mouse serum (CSFES) and from human urine (CSFHu). The effect of the sulphydryl reagent mercaptoethanol on colony development was also examined. The density distribution of CFU-c was dependent on the type of CSF. Functional heterogeneity was found among CFU-c with partial discrimination between progenitor cells forming pure granulocytic colonies and those forming pure macrophage colonies. Mercaptoethanol increased colony incidence but had no apparent effect on colony morphology or the density distribution of CFU-c.  相似文献

Erythroid colony formation in agar cultures of CBA cells was stimulated by the addition of pokeweed mitogen-stimulated C57BL spleen conditioned medium. Both 48-hour colonies ("48-hour benzidine-positive aggregates") and day 7 large burst or unicentric erythroid colonies ("erythroid colonies") developed, together with many neutrophil and/or macrophage colonies. In CBA mice, the cells forming erythroid colonies occurred with maximum frequency (650/10(5) cells) in 10- to 11-day-old yolk sac and fetal liver but were present also in fetal blood, spleen and bone marrow. The frequency of these cells fell sharply with increasing age and only occasional cells (2/10(5) cells) were present in adult marrow. A marked strain variation was noted, CBA mice having the highest levels of erythroid colony-forming cells. The erythroid colony-forming cells in 12-day CBA fetal liver were radiosensitive (DO 110-125 rads), mainly in cycle and were non-adherent, light density, cells sedimenting with a peak velocity of 6-9 mm/hr. These properties are similar to those of other hemopoietic progenitor cells in fetal tissues. The relationship of these apparently erythropoietin-independent erythroid colony-forming cells to those forming similar colonies after stimulation by erythropoietin remains to be determined.  相似文献

Granulocyte-macrophage colony formation from bone marrow cells in soft agar is dependent upon the presence of a stimulating factor and the number of colonies is related to its concentration. This dose-response effect provided a measurement of the responsiveness to stimulation of colony forming cell populations in marrows from different sources. There were significant differences between the responsiveness of cells from different strains of mice which paralleled the previously observed myelopoietic and immune responsiveness of these strains to stimulation in vivo. Low concentrations of hydrocrotisone reduced the responsiveness of colony forming cells (a) when added to cultures of normal marrow or (b) when cells were taken from hydrocortisone-treated mice and cultured in its absence. The reduction which followed inoculation was not apparent until the 4th day and occurred irrespective of mouse strain, type of drug or route of inoculation and with a dose (100 μg) which did not affect the actual number of colony forming cells in the marrow.  相似文献

The authors analysed the capacity of various temperature fractions of RNA isolated from the spleen of donors of the bone marrow cells (of mice C57BL/6I) and recipients--hybrids (CBA X C57BL/6I) F1 to abolish the depression of colony formation in the nonsyngenous organism. In the administration of bone marrow cells of mice of parental genotype C57BL/6I of the irradiated recipients F1 there is observed a sharp depression of the number of colony forming units in the spleen F1. This depression can be eliminated by preliminary incubation of the bone marrow cells of mice of parental genotype with a 63 degrees fraction of the recipient's RNA. Preliminary inculation of the bone marrow cells of mice of parental genotype with 85 degrees and cytoplasmic fractions of recipient's RNA led to a partial restoration of colony formation only. The 45 degrees and 55 degrees RNA fractions of the recipient's RNA produced no restoring action. None of the temperature RNA fractions of the RNA of donor bone marrow cells were capable of abolishment of the colony formation depression in the nonsyngenous organism. It is supposed that restoration of the colony forming capacity in the nonsyngenous organism was connected with the activity of matrix RNA of the 63 degrees fraction obtained from the recipient's spleen.  相似文献

Hybridomas derived from the fusion of murine myeloma cells with splenocytes from mice immunized with human cultured lymphoid cells secreted monoclonal antibodies to human cell surface antigens. Serologic and immunochemical assays showed that 4 monoclonal antibodies (Ab Q2/47, Q2/61, Q2/70, Q2/80) recognize framework determinants of Ia-like antigens and 1 monoclonal antibody (Ab Q1/28) reacts with determinants expressed on the heavy chain of HLA-A,B antigens. Both anti-HLA-A,B and anti-Ia-like antigen monoclonal antibodies caused complement-dependent inhibition of granulocyte-macrophage colony formation by human bone marrow grown in soft agar. Mixing experiments excluded the possibility of an indirect effect on progenitor cells by lysis of auxiliary cells. These results indicate that human myeloid progenitor cells express HLA-A,B and Ia-like antigens.  相似文献

The effect of phytohemagglutinin (PHA) on the growth and number of granulocytic colonies (GC) developing on agar from bone marrow and spleen cells of normal and erythroleukemic mice inoculated with Rauscher leukemogenic virus was studied. Equal number of marrow cells from erythroleukemic mice produced twice as many colonies as those from normal mice. The number of GC developing from either normal and leukemic spleen cells was only 20% to 25% of that arising from marrow cells. The number of cells within each colony was significantly larger in GC formed by myelogenous leukemic cells than those arising from normal cells even though they had similar morphologic features. The addition of 100 μg of PHA per 105 cells reduced the number of GC arising from normal and leukemic cells by 35% and 50%, respectively. Treatment with periodate which mainly inhibits its mitogenic activity, abolished the inhibitory effects of PHA on proliferation of granulocytic cells.  相似文献

These experiments examined the effect of a diet limited only in protein (4% by weight) on haemopoietic stem cells in mice. This diet places severe restrictions on growth and cell proliferation and this was reflected in lower numbers of colony forming units (CFUs) and in vitro colony forming cells (CFCs). Differences were apparent in the response of different organs to this stress; for instance, the incidence of spleen CFUs fell sharply from around 40/mg spleen tissue to 1-4/mg spleen tissue after 3 weeks on a low protein diet. This selective loss did not occur in bone marrow where total CFUs remained proportional to cellular content. Yet a third pattern was shown by thymus CFUs--although the numbers were low these increased from 16/thymus in normal mice to 132/thymus in deprived mice. This was the only organ examined which showed an increase. The effects of a return to a high protein (18%) diet showed that the spleen was the most responsive organ. By day 5 after the return to 18% protein the spleen contained as many CFUs per million cells as the bone marrow. During this time the content of CFU in the spleen had increased some 50-fold whereas bone marrow CFUs only doubled. The spleen assumes the major reconstructive role during the refeeding process.  相似文献

The effect of cyclophosphamide (CY) on megakaryocytopoiesis in mice was examined with assays of megakaryocyte colony-forming cells (Meg-CFC) in bone marrow and spleen and simultaneous determinations of peripheral blood counts, after a single intraperitoneal dose (200 mg/kg) of CY. Significant rebound thrombocytosis (170% of normal) occurred at day 11 after injection with CY, although only modest preceding thrombocytopenia (70% of normal) was observed. After an initial 3–5-day period of suppression, total megakaryocyte colony-forming cells (Meg-CFC) in both bone marrow and spleen of CY-treated mice demonstrated rebound increases at 5 and 7 days, respectively, after administration of the drug. Granulocyte-macrophage colony-forming cells (GM-CFC) exhibited alterations which were similar to those of Meg-CFC, suggesting similar sensitivities of Meg-CFC and GM-CFC to CY. The increase in Meg-CFC in both bone marrow and spleen preceded development of thrombocytosis by 4–6 days. This suggests that increased platelet counts in CY-treated mice are attributable, at least in part, to alterations in feedback mechanisms which control megakaryocytopoiesis, with resultant stimulation of the megakaryocyte progenitor compartment.  相似文献

Preincubation of C57BL adult marrow cells or CBA fetal liver cells with a 250-fold excess concentration of purified GM-CSF failed to reduce the frequency of cells forming eosinophil, megakaryocyte or erythroid colonies in subsequent agar cultures. When excess concentrations of purified GM-CSF were added to agar cultures stimulated by pokeweed mitogen-stimulated spleen conditioned medium (SCM), no reduction was observed in the frequency of eosinophil, megakaryocyte or erythroid colonies. Addition of 4 units of purified erythropoietin (EPO) to cultures of fetal liver or adult marrow cells stimulated by SCM increased the number of erythroid colonies but did not reduce the number of non-erythroid colonies or the non-erythroid content of mixed erythroid colonies. Although neither GM-CSF nor EPO alone was able to stimulate erythroid colony formation in agar cultures of fetal liver cells, small numbers of large erythroid colonies were stimulated to develop in cultures containing both purified regulators. Purified GM-CSF was also able to support the survival in vitro of a small proportion of erythroid colony-forming cells in fetal liver populations cultured initially in the absence of SCM and the survival of some eosinophil and megakaryocyte colony-forming cells in similar cultures of adult marrow cells. The results do not support the hypothesis that GM-CSF and EPO compete for a common pool of uncommitted progenitor cells. On the contrary, the data indicate that GM-CSF und EPO are able to collaborate in stimulating the proliferation of some erythropoietic cells. Furthermore, purified GM-CSF appears to be able to support temporarily the survival and/or initial proliferation of at least some cells forming erythroid, eosinophil and megakaryocyte colonies, even though GM-CSF is unable to stimulate the formation of colonies of these types.  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

Regulation of the proliferation of transplanted colony forming units (CFUs) was investigated in lethally irradiated mice, pretreated by methods known to accelerate hemopoietic recovery after sublethal irradiation. Prospective recipients were exposed to either hypoxia, vinblastine or priming irradiation and at different intervals thereafter lethally irradiated and transplanted with bone marrow. Repopulation of CFUs was determined by counting the number of splenic colonies in primary recipients or by retransplantation. Regeneration of grafted CFUs was greatly accelerated and their self-renewal capacity increased in mice grafted within two days after hypoxia. Also the number of splenic colonies formed by grafted syngeneic CFUs as well as by C57BL parent CFUs growing in BC3F1 hosts was significantly increased. The effect was not dependent on the seeding efficiency of CFUs and apparently resulted from hypoxia induced changes in the hosts physiological environment. Proliferative capacity of grafted CFUs increased remarkably in hosts receiving vinblastine two or four days prior to irradiation. Priming irradiation given six days before main irradiation accelerated, given two days before impaired regeneration of CFUs. The increased rate of regeneration was not related to the cellularity of hemopoietic organs at the time of transplantation. The growth of CFUs in diffusion chambers implanted into posthypoxic mice was only slightly improved which does indicate that the accelerated regeneration of CFUs in posthypoxic mice is mainly due to the changes in the hemopoietic microenvironment. A short conditioning of transplanted CFUs by host factor(s) was sufficient to improve regeneration. The results might suggest that the speed of hemopoietic regeneration depends on the number of CFUs being induced to proliferate shordy after irradiation, rather than on the absolute numbers of CFUs available to the organism.  相似文献

Buoyant density gradient separation of Rhesus monkey bone marrow, spleen and blood leukocytes has demonstrated a reproducible and homogeneous light density distribution profile of cells capable of forming hemopoietic colonies in agar culture (in vitro colony forming cells — CFC). High resolution density gradient separation performed on a light density fraction of bone marrow produced on average a 100-fold enrichment of in vitro CFC with the most enriched fractions containing the majority of the in vitro CFC population present in the original marrow. Fractions were routinely obtained in which up to 23% of cells formed colonies and 33% were capable of proliferating to some degree upon stimulation. Tritiated thymidine suiciding showed the active proliferative status of the in vitro CFC and application of autoradiography and morphological characterisation to highly enriched density fractions has shown that the in vitro CFC in normal marrow is a transitional lymphocyte. Single cell transfer experiments have shown that in vitro CFC's formed colonies containing both granulocytes and macrophages, formally demonstrating the clonal origin of in vitro colonies and the common origin of granulocytes and macrophages.  相似文献

Using a modification of the agar gel method for bone marrow culture, serum from various strains of mice has been tested for colony stimulating activity. Ninety percent of sera from AKR mice with spontaneous or transplanted lymphoid leukemia and 40–50% of sera from normal or preleukemic AKR mice stimulated colony formation by C57B1 bone marrow cells. Sera from 6% of C3H and 30% of C57B1 mice stimulated similar colony formation. The incidence of sera with colony stimulating activity rose with increasing age. All colonies were initially mainly granulocytic in nature but later became pure populations of mononuclear cells. Bone marrow cells exhibited considerable variation in their responsiveness to stimulation by mouse serum. Increasing the serum dose increased the number and size of bone marrow cell colonies and with optimal serum doses, 1 in 1000 bone marrow cells formed a cell colony. Preincubation of cells with active serum did not stimulate colony formation by washed bone marrow cells. The active factor in serum was filterable, non-dialysable and heat and ether labile.  相似文献

Functional properties of mouse haemopoietic spleen colony-forming cells, enriched 40- to 80-fold, from normal bone marrow were studied. It was found that: (1) the number of partially purified CFU-s (colony forming unit-spleen) required to rescue lethally irradiated mice was similar to the number of normal unfractionated bone marrow CFU-s giving the same level of protection; (2) the homing of partially purified CFU-s was similar to that of CFU-s from unfractionated bone marrow; (3) the regeneration of CFU-s in spleen was similar for enriched and unfractionated cell populations between 4 and 11 days after transplantation. In contrast, the rate of regeneration of CFU-s in femur was slower with enriched progenitor cells than with unfractionated bone marrow. The growth rate in femur, however, could be restored to normal by injecting freshly isolated syngeneic thymocytes with the enriched CFU-s population. The results indicate that the partially purified CFU-s are by themselves functionally normal and show that the rate of CFU-s repopulation in bone marrow can be affected by cell types other than spleen colony-forming cells.  相似文献

Medium conditioned by human lung tissue was found to contain colony stimulating activity (CSA). This material was tested against mouse and human bone marrow as target system. Colony forming units (CFUc) from both species responded and gave rise to clonal growth in agar cultures. This colony formation was dose dependent and the relationship was a sigmoid one. Experiments to determine the molecular weight of human lung derived colony stimulating Factors brought evidence for four active molecular weight fractions with approximately 79000, 40000, 23000 and 2000 daltons. The 23000 dalton fraction activated human cells only, whereas the other fractions were active on both human and mouse bone marrow cells.  相似文献
