Abstract The promising antineoplastic agent diaziquone is associated with prolonged aplasia and rare instances of bone marrow necrosis, but only mild extramedullary toxicity. To explore the drug's potential as a myeloablative agent prior to bone marrow transplantation, we compared its effects on hematopoietic versus marrow stromal cells. After short- term (one to six hours) or prolonged (three to seven days) exposure to the drug, marrow was assayed for hematopoietic (CFU-Mix, BFU-E, CFU-GM) and stromal (CFU-F) colony-forming cells and studied in long-term marrow culture (LTMC). One- and three-hour treatments produced little cytotoxicity, even at 5000 ng/mL. After six-hour treatments with this dose, marrow was depleted of CFU-Mix, BFU-E, and CFU-GM, but produced CFU-GM in LTMCs, indicating an ongoing input of CFU-GM from a surviving pre-CFU-Mix population. In contrast, elimination of the latter may be inferred from the absence of CFU-GM in LTMCs exposed for three to seven days to diaziquone at only 150 ng/mL. Under these conditions, CFU-F recovery was 40% and adherent stromal layers in LTMCs were similar to untreated controls regarding rate of development and cellular composition. Our in vitro pre-CFU-Mix-ablative regimen correlates with clinical data that show prolonged but reversible myelosuppression at steady-state diaziquone plasma levels of 101 +/- 10 ng/mL (mean +/- standard error of mean) during 7-day constant infusions. In conclusion: hematopoietic cells are more sensitive than marrow stromal cells to the dose- and highly time-dependent cytotoxicity of diaziquone, a direct drug-induced noxious effect on the marrow microenvironment is an unlikely cause of the isolated episodes of marrow necrosis after the use of diaziquone in vivo, and prolonged infusion of diaziquone represents an attractive means for achieving myeloablation in selected clinical situations.

We aimed to identify a suitable method for long-term monitoring of the migration and proliferation of mesenchymal stromal cells in stroke models of rats using ferritin transgene expression by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (BMSCs) were transduced with a lentivirus containing a shuttle plasmid (pCDH-CMV-MCS-EF1-copGFP) carrying the ferritin heavy chain 1 (Fth1) gene. Ferritin expression in stromal cells was evaluated with western blotting and immunofluorescent staining. The iron uptake of Fth1-BMSCs was measured with Prussian blue staining. Following surgical introduction of middle cerebral artery occlusion, Fth1-BMSCs and superparamagnetic iron oxide- (SPIO-) labeled BMSCs were injected through the internal jugular vein. The imaging and signal intensities were monitored by diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), T2-weighted imaging (T2WI), and susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) in vitro and in vivo. Pathology was performed for comparison. We observed that the MRI signal intensity of SPIO-BMSCs gradually reduced over time. Fth1-BMSCs showed the same signal intensity between 10 and 60 days. SWI showed hypointense lesions in the SPIO-BMSC (traceable for 30 d) and Fth1-BMSC groups. T2WI was not sensitive enough to trace Fth1-BMSCs. After transplantation, Prussian blue-stained cells were observed around the infarction area and in the infarction center in both transplantation models. Fth1-BMSCs transplanted for treating focal cerebral infarction were safe, reliable, and traceable by MRI. Fth1 labeling was more stable and suitable than SPIO labeling for long-term tracking. SWI was more sensitive than T2W1 and suitable as the optimal MRI-tracking sequence.

Abstract The interaction between multiple myeloma (MM) cells and the bone marrow (BM) microenvironment plays a crucial role not only in proliferation and survival of MM cells, but also in osteoclastogenesis. In this study, we examined diverse potential of novel p38MAPK inhibitor LSN2322600 (LSN) for MM therapy in vitro and in vivo. The cytotoxic activity of LSN against MM cell lines was modest; however, LSN significantly enhances the cytotoxicity of Bortezomib by down-regulating Bortezomib-induced heat shock protein (HSP) 27 phosphorylation. We next examined the effects of LSN on cytokine secretion in MM cells, bone marrow stromal cells and osteoclast precursor cells. LSN inhibited IL-6 secretion from long-term cultured-bone marrow stromal cells (LT-BMSCs) and bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMNCs) from MM patients in remission. LSN also inhibited MIP-1 α secretion by fresh tumor cells, BMMNCs and CD14 positive cells. Since these cytokines mediate osteoclastogenesis, we further examined whether LSN could inhibit osteoclastogenesis. Importantly, LSN inhibited in vitro osteoclastogenesis induced by macrophage-colony stimulating factor (M-CSF) and soluble receptor activator of nuclear factor- κ B ligand (sRANKL), as well as osteoclastogenesis in the severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID)-Hu mouse model of human MM. These results suggest that LSN represents a promising novel targeted strategy to reduce skeletal complications as well as to sensitize or overcome resistance to Bortezomib.

Abstract Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) can be derived selectively in culture from multiple organs, an omnipresence we have recently suggested to be explained by the perivascular location of native MSC ancestors within intact tissues (Crisan et al. 2008, in press). We have now analyzed the ability of MSC extracted pro- or retrospectively from different human tissues to support hematopoiesis. MSC were either classically derived in primary cultures of umbilical cord blood (UCB) lineage-depleted mononuclear cells (n=3) or enzymatically dissociated adult adipose tissue (n=3), or grown as CD146+ NG2+ CD34-CD56- CD45- pericytes (n=2) purified by flow cytometry from fetal skeletal muscle and cultured over the long term. In both settings, identical MSC were obtained that maintained a stable CD146+ CD90+ CD73+ CD105+ CD34- CD45- surface phenotype and could differentiate into skeletal muscle, fat, bone and cartilage. CD34+ hematopoietic progenitors (n=3) immunoselected from term UCB were seeded (5×10e3cells/cm2 in triplicate) onto confluent irradiated layers of MSC derived from UCB, adipose tissue or fetal muscle pericytes (MSCu, MSCa and MSCmp, respectively) or, as a control, MS5 bone marrow stromal cells that allow the proliferation of very primitive human progenitor cells. All studies were approved by the relevant institutional regulatory board. The cells were cocultured for 5 weeks in a classical long-term culture-initiating cell assay in a complete medium (MyeloCult H5100, Stem Cell Technologies) containing hydrocortisone but no added cytokine. Wells were scored daily for the presence of cobblestone areas (CA) and half of the medium was replaced every week. Eventually, trypsinized cells from each well were characterized by flow cytometry for the expression of hematopoietic cell markers and assayed for CFC potential. After 14 days of incubation, colonies grown in semi-solid medium were scored as derived from colony forming units (CFU)-granulocyte, erythroid, macrophage, megakaryocyte (GEMM) and as high-proliferative-potential colony precursors (HPPC), the most primitive hematopoietic cell so far identified in a clonogenic assay in vitro. Within the CD45+ gate, all trypsinized cultures contained comparable percentages of CD34+lin- cells (MSCu: 51±9%; MSCa: 58±14%; MSCmp: 61±19%; MS5: 59±18%), the most immature hematopoietic cell compartment maintained during the long-term coculture. MSCu and MSCmp supported a similar cell proliferation during the whole culture while on MSCa, CA formed very rapidly and consistently but eventually decreased over the long-term culture. Interestingly, MSCu and MSCmp supported the development of the highest numbers of HPPC and of CFU giving rise to the largest GEMM colonies, as compared to MSCa that gave the same results as the control MS5 cell line. In summary, all MSCs tested were able to support hematopoiesis and CA formation, albeit with differences in growth kinetics and morphology of the colonies. Herein we show for the first time that purified human perivascular cells exhibit robust hematopoiesis support in vitro, in addition to multilineage mesodermal developmental potential. In conclusion, we demonstrate that MSC from novel sources distinct from the bone marrow are able to support hematopoiesis. These results further sustain the identity, beyond acronyms, between marrow stromal cells, long known for their support of hematopoiesis, and mesenchymal stem cells that gained more recent credit in the field of regenerative medicine because of their multilineage differentiation potential.

Acute kidney injury is a devastating syndrome that afflicts over 2,000,000 people in the US per year, with an associated mortality of greater than 70% in severe cases. Unfortunately, standard-of-care treatments are not sufficient for modifying the course of disease. Many groups have explored the use of bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) for the treatment of AKI because BMSCs have been shown to possess unique anti-inflammatory, cytoprotective, and regenerative propertiesin vitroandin vivo. It is yet unresolved whether the primary mechanisms controlling BMSC therapy in AKI depend on direct cell infusion, or whether BMSC-secreted factors alone are sufficient for mitigating the injury. Here we show that BMSC-secreted factors are capable of providing a survival benefit to rats subjected to cisplatin-induced AKI. We observed that when BMSC-conditioned medium (BMSC-CM) is administered intravenously, it prevents tubular apoptosis and necrosis and ameliorates AKI. In addition, we observed that BMSC-CM causes IL-10 upregulation in treated animals, which is important to animal survival and protection of the kidney. In all, these results demonstrate that BMSC-secreted factors are capable of providing support without cell transplantation, and the IL-10 increase seen in BMSC-CM-treated animals correlates with attenuation of severe AKI.
