Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were collected after the administration of recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (rhG-CSF) and used as the sole source of hematopoietic stem cells after myeloablative therapy with busulfan (Bu) and cyclophosphamide (Cy). These studies were performed in 12 patients with malignancies (4 non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, 5 breast cancer, 1 testicular carcinoma, 1 Wilm's tumor, and 1 undifferentiated carcinoma) who had bone or bone marrow disease or had low marrow cellularity. rhG-CSF (16 micrograms/kg/d) was administered for 5 to 7 days by subcutaneous injection and PBMC were collected for 2 to 5 days beginning on day 4 after initiation of rhG-CSF, using continuous-flow blood-cell separators that processed 10 to 12 L of whole blood. From a median of three collections, a mean of 24.0 x 10(8) (+/- 10.5 SD) total nucleated cells/kg containing 12.6 x 10(8) (+/- 4.5 SD) mononuclear cells/kg, 7.3 x 10(6) (+/- 4.3 SD) CD34+ cells/kg and 20.5 x 10(4) (+/- 28.1 SD) granulocyte-macrophage colony-forming units (CFU-GM)/kg were harvested and cryopreserved. After the administration of Bu 14 to 17 mg/kg and Cy 120 to 150 mg/kg, PBMC were thawed and infused. One patient received rhG-CSF after the infusion of PBMC and the remaining 11 patients did not receive postinfusion growth factors. Mean days to recovery of neutrophil levels of 0.1, 0.5, and 1.0 x 10(9)/L were 11.4 (range, 9 to 13), 12.7 (range, 10 to 15), and 13.6 (range, 11 to 16) and the mean day to platelet transfusion independence was 13.3 (range, 7 to 49). Time to recovery of neutrophils to 0.5 and 1.0 x 10(9)/L and platelets to 20 x 10(9)/L was more rapid than in historical patients treated with Bu and Cy who received marrow alone or marrow followed by the posttransplant administration of rh-G or GM-CSF. No graft failures have been observed with a follow-up of 4 to 12 months. These results indicate that PBMC collected after rhG-CSF lead to rapid hematopoietic recovery after myeloablative chemotherapy.

The transplantation of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) is used to promote wound angiogenesis. In patients with chronic wounds and accompanying morbidities, EPCs are often compromised in number and function. To overcome these limitations, we previously developed a quality and quantity controlled (QQ) culture system to enrich peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMNCs) in EPCs. To evaluate the wound healing efficacy of mononuclear cells (MNCs) harvested after QQ culture (QQMNCs), preclinical studies were performed on large animals. MNCs harvested from the blood of healthy human subjects were cultured in the presence of angiogenic cytokines and growth factors in a serum-free medium for 7 days. A total of 5 × 106 QQMNCs per full-thickness skin defect or control saline was injected into wounds induced in cyclosporine-immunosuppressed pigs. EPC colony-forming assays revealed a significantly higher number of definitive (partially differentiated) EPC colony-forming units in QQMNCs. Flow cytometry evaluation of QQMNC surface markers showed enrichment of CD34+ and CD133+ stem cell populations, significant reduction in CCR2+ cell percentages, and a greater than 10-fold increase in the percentage of anti-inflammatory M2-type macrophages (CD206+ cells) compared with PBMNCs. Wounds treated with QQMNCs had a significantly higher closure rate. Wounds were harvested, frozen, and sectioned at day 21 postoperatively. Hematoxylin and eosin staining revealed that the epithelization of QQMNC-treated wounds was more advanced than in controls. Treated wounds developed granulation tissue with more mature collagen and larger capillary networks. CD31 and human mitochondrial co-staining confirmed the presence of differentiated human cells within newly formed vessels. Real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) showed upregulation of interleukin 6 (IL-6), IL-10, and IL-4 in the wound bed, suggesting paracrine activity of the transplanted QQMNCs. Our data demonstrate for the first time that QQ culture of MNCs obtained from a small amount of peripheral blood yields vasculogenic and therapeutic cells effective in wound healing.
