The bone marrow is an important site for assessment of the hematopoietic toxicity of new drug candidates. Here, we extended our previous work, where we developed a computer algorithm to automatically quantitate overall bone marrow cell density by analyzing digitized images of standard hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) slides of rat bone marrow and further evaluated the capability to quantify myeloid: erythroid + lymphoid (M:EL) ratio and megakaryocyte cell density. We tested the algorithm in a toxicity study, where rats were dosed with two molecules known to affect bone marrow composition, monomethyl auristatin E, and a Bcl-xL inhibitor. The image analysis method detected significant changes in M:EL and megakaryocyte number that were either not found or semiquantitatively described by manual microscopic observation of the same slides. The image analysis results were consistent with other more established but time-consuming methods that measure changes in bone marrow cell composition: smear cytology, flow cytometry, and microscopic assessment. Our work demonstrates the feasibility of a rapid and more quantitative assessment of changes in bone marrow cell lineage composition using a computer algorithm compared to microscopic examination of H&E-stained bone marrow sections.

It is well known that the cellular responses are related with both physical and chemical characteristics of substrate, including surface topography. In the present study,the effect of surface topography of hydroxyapatite (HA) on rat bone marrow cell (rBMCs) response was investigated. HA disc-shaped pellets with various topography were manufactured by single-axis pressing methods. The rBMCs responses on materials including cell morphology and proliferation were evaluated by SEM and MTT methods respectively, and the differentiation potential was assessed by total protein content and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity testing. The results showed that the cell porliferation was higher on HA surfaces with macropore structure, while ALP activity was lower. No significant difference in the cellular responses on the pore distribution and orietation was observed. However, the pore structure had a potential to guide cell orientation by gathering the cells inside the pores rather than on the ridges. Since ALP served as an indicator of early osteoblast differentiation, in this study its higher expression on HA surface with micropores suggested that surface microtopograhy exhibited an important effect on early osteoblast differentiation process.
