Chemotherapy treatments induce a number of side effects, such as leukopenia neutropenia, peripheral erythropenia, and thrombocytopenia, affecting the quality of life for cancer patients. 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) is wieldy used as myeloablative model in mice. The bovine dialyzable leukocyte extract (bDLE) or IMMUNEPOTENT CRP® (ICRP) is an immunomodulatory compound that has antioxidants and anti-inflammatory effects. In order to investigate the chemoprotection effect of ICRP on bone marrow cells in 5-FU treated mice, total bone marrow (BM) cell count, bone marrow colony forming units-granulocyte/macrophage (CFU-GM), cell cycle, immunophenotypification, ROS/superoxide and Nrf2 by flow cytometry, and histological and hematological analyses were performed. Our results demonstrated that ICRP increased BM cell count and CFU-GM number, arrested BM cells in G0/G1 phase, increased the percentage of leukocyte, granulocytic, and erythroid populations, reduced ROS/superoxide formation and Nrf2 activation, and also improved hematological levels and weight gain in 5-FU treated mice. These results suggest that ICRP has a chemoprotective effect against 5-FU in BM cells that can be used in cancer patients.

Total body irradiation is a standard procedure of bone marrow transplantation (BMT) which causes a rapid increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the bone marrow microenvironment during BMT. The increase in ROS reduces the engraftment ability of donor cells, thereby affecting the bone marrow recovery of recipients after BMT. In the early weeks following transplantation, recipients are at high risk of severe infection due to weakened hematopoiesis. Thus, it is imperative to improve engraftment capacity and accelerate bone marrow recovery in BMT recipients. In this study, we constructed recombinant copper/zinc superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) fused with the cell-penetrating peptide (CPP), the trans-activator of transcription (Tat), and showed that this fusion protein has penetrating ability and antioxidant activity in both RAW264.7 cells and bone marrow cells in vitro. Furthermore, irradiated mice transplanted with SOD1-Tat-treated total bone marrow donor cells showed an increase in total bone marrow engraftment capacity two weeks after transplantation. This study explored an innovative method for enhancing engraftment efficiency and highlights the potential of CPP-SOD1 in ROS manipulation during BMT.

Key Points A relevant xenograft chemotherapy model was developed by using standard AML induction therapy drugs and primary human AML patient samples. Human AML cells show significantly increased sensitivity to in vivo chemotherapy treatment compared with murine LSK and total bone marrow cells.

The hypothesis that cells located in mouse bone marrow can acquire immunological competence by a process that involves interaction with a noncellular component of the thymus was tested using an in vitro assay of graft-versus-host reactivity as a criterion of cell competence. When suspensions of C57BL bone marrow cells were incubated in thymus extract and injected into mice incapable of inducing a response in the graft-versus-host assay as a result of neonatal thymectomy, or adult thymectomy plus irradiation, or because of genetic similarity with the (C3H x C57BL)F1 tissue used for challenge in the assay, competent cells were recovered from the spleens of the injected mice. The reactive cells were shown to be of bone marrow origin since immune reactivity was related to the genetic makeup of the bone marrow cells rather than that of the intermediate recipients. A thymic factor was involved in the process leading to immune reactivity by these cells, as bone marrow cells incubated in xenogeneic or syngeneic thymic extracts induced a graft-versus-host response after passage through nonresponsive mice, whereas incubation of bone marrow cells in xenogeneic lymph node or spleen extracts or in culture medium only did not lead to subsequent reactivity. Participation of peripheral lymphoid tissue seemed essential in this process since bone marrow cells tested directly after exposure to thymic extract failed to induce a graft-versus-host response. C57BL bone marrow cells exposed to thymus extract and cultured together with fragments of (C3H x C57BL)F1 spleen tissue in vitro were competent to induce a graft-versus-host response; thus, these components would seem to be sufficient as well as necessary for the immunodifferentiation process leading to graft-versus-host activity. It is concluded that one step in the process by which bone marrow cells acquire competence vis-a-vis the graft-versus-host response depends upon a thymic agent that is noncellular and extractable, and that another stage in this process is under the influence of components found within the peripheral lymphoid tissue environment. It is suggested that differentiation of precursor cells to competence could occur by progressive development of the cells in separate compartments of the lymphoid system.
