The formation of fibronectin matrix was studied in long-term mouse bone marrow cultures. Stromal and hematopoietic cells were observed in situ under phase contrast optics and quantified according to their staining characteristics on smear preparations. Surface fibronectin was demonstrated by indirect immunofluorescence. While only stromal and no hematopoietic cells participated, various stromal cell types differed in their expression of cell surface fibronectin: Reticulum cells contributed the major portion of fibronectin matrix. Elongated, meshwork-forming histiocytes expressed some surface fibronectin, while the flattened, macrophagic histiocytes remained fibronectin negative. These findings were recapitulated during regeneration of scrape wounds in the adherent layers. Isolated fibronectin matrix did not support hematopoietic cell adherence or maintenance, although it had marked effects on stromal cells.

Marrow Cultures

Murine long-term bone marrow cultures that support B-lymphoid-cell development were infected with a helper-free retrovirus containing the v-fms oncogene. Infection of B-lymphoid cultures resulted in the rapid clonal outgrowth of early pre-B cells, which grew to high cell densities on stromal cell feeder layers, expressed v-fms-coded glycoproteins, and underwent immunoglobulin heavy-chain gene rearrangements. Late-passage cultures gave rise to factor-independent variants that proliferated in the absence of feeder layers, developed resistance to hydrocortisone, and became tumorigenic in syngeneic mice. The v-fms oncogene therefore recapitulates known effects of the v-abl and bcr-abl oncogenes on B-lineage cells. The ability of v-fms to induce transformation of early pre-B cells in vitro underscores the capacity of oncogenic mutants of the colony-stimulating factor-1 receptor to function outside the mononuclear phagocyte lineage.

Accurate histological evaluation of stromal morphology is very difficult in cultures incubated in plastic flasks. Employing glass flasketts, we were able to characterize the morphology and immunocytochemistry of four marrow stromal cell types in a functionally intact microenvironment of murine long-term bone marrow cultures (LTBMCs). Fibroblastoid cells stained positively for collagen Type I and III, negatively for von Willebrand factor (vWf), the mouse macrophage F4/80 antigen, and the Bandeiraea simplicifolia lectin I isolectin B4 (BSL I-B4). Endothelial cells stained positively for vWf antigen and lectin BSL I-B4 but negatively for collagen Types I and III and for F4/80 antigen. Fat-containing cells had a dense, ovaloid, indented nucleus and fat-containing vacuoles. Macrophages were strongly positive for the F4/80 antigen and stained weakly with BSL I-B4. Between the fourth and ninth weeks after culture initiation, fibroblastoid and endothelial cells remained constant, between 21 +/- 2% and 24 +/- 2% and between 3 +/- 0.3% and 4 +/- 0.4%, respectively, of the total stromal cell population. By contrast, the percentage of fat-containing cells decreased significantly from 26 +/- 3% at Week 4 to 17 +/- 2% at Week 9, and macrophages increased significantly from 49 +/- 1% at Week 4 to 57 +/- 1% at Week 9. This characterization of the stromal cell types in functionally intact LTBMCs should assist in the study of the complex interactions among the marrow stroma, cytokine production, and hematopoiesis.

Macrophages in mouse bone marrow cultures were investigated with macrophage-specific monoclonal antibody F4/80 and anti-Forssman glycosphingolipid (GSL) antibody, which was specific for macrophages in hematopoietic foci. Antibody F4/80 stained two types of cells, small macrophages and large flat macrophages associated with hematopoietic cells. The cytochemical and phagocytotic characteristics were similar between these two types of cells, but Forssman GSL was positive only for the large flat macrophages associated with hematopoietic cells. The data suggest that Forssman GSL positive macrophages, derived from resident bone marrow macrophages, play an important role in hematopoiesis and are clearly distinguished from small macrophages in vitro.
