We investigated whether the stem cell that reconstitutes total erythropoiesis of a WBB6F1-W/Wv mouse differentiates into lymphoid lineage. The electrophoretic pattern of hemoglobin was used as a marker of the reconstitution; 3-phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK), an X chromosome- linked enzyme was used as a tool for estimating clonality. We injected 10(5) bone marrow cells of 5-FU treated C57BL/6-Pgk-1b/Pgk-1a female mice, in which each stem cell had either A-type PGK or B-type PGK due to random inactivation of one of two X chromosomes, into genetically anemic (WB x C57BL/6)F1-W/Wv (hereafter WBB6F1-W/Wv) mice that contained only B-type PGK. The recipient WBB6F1-W/Wv mice, in which erythropoiesis was reconstituted with donor cells for a long term, were killed and the PGK patterns of bone marrows, thymus, lymph nodes, and Peyer's patches were examined. A considerable amount of A-type PGK was detected in the lymphoid organs of the WBB6F1-W/Wv mice in which erythrocytes showed only A-type PGK when killed. In contrast, A-type PGK was scarcely detectable in the lymphoid organs of the WBB6F1-W/Wv mice in which erythrocytes showed only B-type PGK when killed. The present results suggest that the hematopoietic stem cells estimated by the erythropoiesis reconstituting assay differentiate into lymphoid lineage and that the long-term erythropoiesis reconstitution assay is useful for detecting the true primitive hematopoietic stem cells.

Abstract The spleen colony-forming assay does not represent the number of hematopoietic stem cells with extensive self-maintaining capacity because five to 50 spleen colony-forming units (CFU-S) are necessary to rescue a genetically anemic (WB X C57BL/6)F1-W/Wv(WBB6F1-W/Wv) mouse. We investigated which is more important for the reconstitution of erythropoiesis, the transplantation of multiple CFU-S or that of a single stem cell with extensive self-maintaining potential. The electrophoretic pattern of hemoglobin was used as a marker of reconstitution and that of phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK), an X chromosome-linked enzyme, as a tool for estimating the number of stem cells. For this purpose, we developed the C57BL/6 congeneic strain with the Pgk-1a gene. Bone marrow cells were harvested after injection of 5- fluorouracil from C57BL/6-Pgk-1b/Pgk-1a female mice in which each stem cell had either A-type PGK or B-type PGK due to the random inactivation of one or two X chromosomes. When a relatively small number of bone marrow cells (ie, 10(3) or 3 X 10(3] were injected into 200-rad- irradiated WBB6F1-W/Wv mice, the hemoglobin pattern changed from the recipient type (Hbbd/Hbbs) to the donor type (Hbbs/Hbbs) in seven of 150 mice for at least 8 weeks. Erythrocytes of all these WBB6F1-W/Wv mice showed either A-type PGK alone or B-type PGK alone during the time of reconstitution, which suggests that a single stem cell with extensive self-maintaining potential may sustain the whole erythropoiesis of a mouse for at least 8 weeks.

Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are defined in mice by three activities: they must rescue lethally irradiated mice (radioprotection), they must self-renew, and they must restore all blood cell lineages permanently. We initially demonstrated that HSCs were contained in a rare (approximately 0.05%) subset of bone marrow cells with the following surface marker profile: Thy-1.1lo Lin- Sca-1+. These cells were capable of long-term, multi-lineage reconstitution and radioprotection of lethally irradiated mice with an enrichment that mirrors their representation in bone marrow, namely, 1,000-2,000-fold. However, the experiments reported did not exclude the possibility that stem cell activity may also reside in populations that are Thy-1.1-, Sca-1-, or Lin+. In this article stem cell activity was determined by measuring: (a) radioprotection provided by sorted cells; (b) long-term, multi-lineage reconstitution of these surviving mice; and (c) long-term, multi-lineage reconstitution by donor cells when radioprotection is provided by coinjection of congenic host bone marrow cells. Here we demonstrate that HSC activity was detected in Thy-1.1+, Sca-1+, and Lin- fractions, but not Thy-1.1-, Sca-1-, or Lin+ bone marrow cells. We conclude that Thy-1.1lo Lin- Sca-1+ cells comprise the only adult C57BL/Ka-Thy-1.1 mouse bone marrow subset that contains pluripotent HSCs.

The potential to reconstitute the whole erythropoiesis of a genetically anemic (WB X C57BL/6)F1-W/Wv (WBB6F1-W/Wv) mouse for at least 8 weeks was compared between 5-fluorouracil (5FU)-treated and nontreated bone marrow cells. C57BL/6-Pgk-1b/Pgk-1a female mice, in which each stem cell had either A-type or B-type phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK) owing to the random inactivation of one of two X chromosomes, were used as donors. As a marker of the reconstitution, electrophoretic pattern of hemoglobin was used. The concentration of the stem cells that reconstitute the whole erythropoiesis of WBB6F1-W/Wv mouse was higher in the marrow of donors that had received an injection of 5FU two days previously (two-day 5FU-treated) than in the marrow of nontreated donors. In the marrow of four-day 5FU-treated mice, however, the concentration was comparable to that of nontreated mice. The PGK electrophoretic pattern of WBB6F1-W/Wv mice reconstituted by nontreated marrow cells was comparable to the PGK pattern of WBB6F1-W/Wv mice reconstituted by four-day 5FU-treated marrow cells. Thus, a single stem cell with extensive proliferative potential rather than multiple spleen colony-forming units appeared to be responsible for the erythropoietic reconstitution in the transplantation of nontreated healthy marrow cells as well as 5FU-treated marrow cells.

Abstract Efficient gene delivery to multipotential hematopoietic stem cells would greatly facilitate the development of effective gene therapy for certain hematopoietic disorders. We have recently described a rapid multiparameter sorting procedure for significantly enriching stem cells with competitive long-term lymphomyeloid repopulating ability (CRU) from 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)-treated mouse bone marrow. The sorted cells have now been tested as targets for retrovirus-mediated delivery of a marker gene, NeoR. They were cocultured for 4 days with fibroblasts producing a high titer of retrovirus in medium containing combinations of the hematopoietic growth factors interleukin-3 (IL-3), IL-6, c-kit ligand (KL), and leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) and then injected into lethally irradiated recipients, together with sufficient “compromised” bone marrow cells to provide short-term support. Over 80% of the transplanted mice displayed high levels (> or = 20%) of donor- derived leukocytes when analyzed 4 to 6 months later. Proviral DNA was detected in 87% of these animals and, in half of them, the majority of the hematopoietic cells were marked. Thus, infection of the stem cells was most effective. The tissue and cellular distribution of greater than 100 unique clones in 55 mice showed that most sorted stem cells had lymphoid as well as myeloid repopulating potential. Secondary transplantation provided strong evidence for infection of very primitive stem cells because, in several instances, different secondary recipients displayed in their marrow, spleen, thymus and day 14 spleen colony-forming cells the same proviral integration pattern as the primary recipient. Neither primary engraftment nor marking efficiency varied for stem cells cultured in IL-3 + IL-6, IL-3 + IL-6 + KL, IL-3 + IL-6 + LIF, or all four factors, but those cultured in IL-3 + IL-6 + LIF appeared to have lower secondary engraftment potential. Provirus expression was detected in 72% of the strongly marked mice, albeit often at low levels. Highly efficient retroviral marking of purified lymphomyeloid repopulating stem cells should enhance studies of stem cell biology and facilitate analysis of genes controlling hematopoietic differentiation and transformation.

AMD3100, a bicyclam antagonist of the chemokine receptor CXCR4, has been shown to induce rapid mobilization of CD34+ hematopoietic cells in mice, dogs, and humans, offering an alternative to G-CSF mobilization of peripheral-blood hematopoietic stem cells. In this study, AMD3100-mobilized CD34+ cells were phenotypically analyzed, marked with NeoR-containing retroviral vectors, and subsequently transplanted into myeloablated rhesus macaques. We show engraftment of transduced AMD3100-mobilized CD34+ cells with NeoR gene marked myeloid and lymphoid cells up to 32 months after transplantation, demonstrating the ability of AMD3100 to mobilize true long-term repopulating hematopoietic stem cells. More AMD3100-mobilized CD34+ cells are in the G1 phase of the cell cycle and more cells express CXCR4 and VLA-4 compared with G-CSF-mobilized CD34+ cells. In vivo gene marking levels obtained with AMD3100-mobilized CD34+ cells were better than those obtained using CD34+ cells mobilized with G-CSF alone. Overall, these results indicate that AMD3100 mobilizes a population of hematopoietic stem cells with intrinsic characteristics different from those of hematopoietic stem cells mobilized with G-CSF, suggesting fundamental differences in the mechanism of AMD3100-mediated and G-CSF-mediated hematopoietic stem cell mobilization. Thus, AMD3100-mobilized CD34+ cells represent an alternative source of hematopoietic stem cells for clinical stem cell transplantation and genetic manipulation with integrating retroviral vectors.

We used a mouse transplantation model to address the recent controversy about CD34 expression by hematopoietic stem cells. Cells from Ly-5.1 C57BL/6 mice were used as donor cells and Ly-5.2 mice were the recipients. The test cells were transplanted together with compromised marrow cells of Ly-5.2 mice. First, we confirmed that the majority of the stem cells with long-term engraftment capabilities of normal adult mice are CD34−. We then observed that, after the injection of 150 mg/kg 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), stem cells may be found in both CD34− and CD34+ cell populations. These results indicated that activated stem cells express CD34. We tested this hypothesis also by using in vitro expansion with interleukin-11 and steel factor of lineage−c-kit+ Sca-1+ CD34− bone marrow cells of normal mice. When the cells expanded for 1 week were separated into CD34− and CD34+ cell populations and tested for their engraftment capabilities, only CD34+ cells were capable of 2 to 5 months of engraftment. Finally, we tested reversion of CD34+ stem cells to CD34− state. We transplanted Ly-5.1 CD34+post–5-FU marrow cells into Ly-5.2 primary recipients and, after the marrow achieved steady state, tested the Ly-5.1 cells of the primary recipients for their engraftment capabilities in Ly-5.2 secondary recipients. The majority of the Ly-5.1 stem cells with long-term engraftment capability were in the CD34− cell fraction, indicating the reversion of CD34+ to CD34−stem cells. These observations clearly demonstrated that CD34 expression reflects the activation state of hematopoietic stem cells and that this is reversible.

Key Points Bone marrow OB ablation leads to reduced quiescence, long-term engraftment, and self-renewal capacity of hematopoietic stem cells. Significantly accelerated leukemia development and reduced survival are seen in transgenic BCR-ABL mice following OB ablation.
