The number of CD34+ cells in the peripheral blood of cancer patients is known to be increased following the administration of high dose chemotherapy and hematopoietic growth factors. These so-called peripheral blood stem cell grafts are now frequently used for autologous transplantation of patients with malignancies. In this report, we address the question of whether true long-term repopulating pluripotent hematopoietic stem cells (PHSC) are mobilized into peripheral blood following chemotherapy plus granulocyte/macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) or granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) mobilization. We have examined the presence of stem cells in mobilized peripheral blood (MPB) by using an antibody to the human Thy-1 molecule to stain the CD34+Lineage- (Lin-) population. The kinetics of mobilization of CD34+Thy-1+ Lin- cells into peripheral blood were studied, and the percentage of cells with this phenotype was found to vary widely depending on the day of leukapheresis. A CD34+Thy- 1+Lin- cell population, potentially containing PHSCs, was isolated by fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS) and analyzed for activity. The multilineage differentiative capacity of this candidate stem cell- containing population in MPB was determined using an in vitro long-term culture system, in which cobblestone area formation was used as a means of detecting PHSCs. We also measured repopulating capacity by using two in vivo models in which severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID)-hu mice were implanted with human fetal bone or thymus grafts. Using these assays, we show that the highest frequency of cobblestone area-forming cells (CAFC) after 7 weeks of culture was observed in a subpopulation of CD34+Lin- cells, which expressed low levels of Thy-1. This cell population was capable of producing both B and myeloid cells, and maintaining CD34+Lin- cells in these long term cultures. Moreover, the CD34+Thy-1+Lin- cell subset possessed a higher ability to engraft and to demonstrate multilineage differentiative potential at 8 weeks in the SCID-hu bone assay. However, in the SCID-hu thymus model, both Thy-1+ and Thy-1- subpopulations were capable of donor T-cell engraftment at 6 weeks, suggesting the presence of cells capable of initiating T lymphopoiesis in both populations.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract Cytokine-mobilized peripheral blood cells have been shown to participate in hematopoietic recovery after bone marrow (BM) transplantation, and are proposed to be useful targets for retrovirus- mediated gene transfer protocols. We treated mice with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) and stem cell factor (SCF) to mobilize hematopoietic progenitor cells into the peripheral blood. These cells were analyzed for the number and frequency of pluripotent hematopoietic stem cells (PHSC). We found that splenectomized animals treated for 5 days with G-CSF and SCF showed a threefold increase in the absolute number of PHSC over normal mice. The number of peripheral- blood PHSC increased 250-fold from 29 per untreated mouse to 7,200 in peripheral-blood PHSC in splenectomized animals treated for 5 days with G-CSF and SCF. Peripheral blood PHSC mobilized by treatment with G-CSF and SCF were analyzed for their ability to be transduced by retroviral vectors. Peripheral-blood PHSC from splenectomized animals G-CSF and SCF were transduced with a recombinant retrovirus containing the human MDR-1 gene. The frequency of gene transfer into peripheral blood PHSC from animals treated for 5 and 7 days was two-fold and threefold higher than gene transfer into PHSC from the BM of 5-fluorouracil-treated mice (P < .01). We conclude that peripheral blood stem cells mobilized by treatment with G-CSF and SCF are excellent targets for retrovirus- mediated gene transfer.

Abstract The use of lentiviral vectors for the transduction of hematopoietic stem cells has evoked much interest owing to their ability to stably integrate into the genome of nondividing cells. However, published large animal studies have reported highly variable gene transfer rates of typically less than 1%. Here we report the use of lentiviral vectors for the transduction of canine CD34+ hematopoietic repopulating cells using a very short, 18-hour transduction protocol. We compared lentiviral transduction of hematopoietic repopulating cells from either stem cell factor (SCF)– and granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF)–primed marrow or mobilized peripheral blood in a competitive repopulation assay in 3 dogs. All dogs engrafted rapidly within 9 days. Transgene expression was detected in all lineages (B cells, T cells, granulocytes, and red blood cells as well as platelets) indicating multilineage engraftment of transduced cells, with overall long-term marking levels of up to 12%. Gene transfer levels in mobilized peripheral blood cells were slightly higher than in primed marrow cells. In conclusion, we show efficient lentiviral transduction of canine repopulating cells using an overnight transduction protocol. These results have important implications for the design of stem cell gene therapy protocols, especially for those diseases in which the maintenance of stem cells in culture is a major limitation.

Abstract Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is an acquired hemolytic anemia resulting from a somatic mutation in a hemopoietic stem cell. In most cases of hemolytic PNH, the majority of the marrow cells are derived from the PNH clone. Recent evidence has indicated, however, that the majority of the most primitive peripheral blood stem cells (PBSCs) in PNH appear to be of normal phenotype. This has led to tentative suggestions that normal PBSCs could be collected and used for autologous transplantation. We have investigated this possibility in four PNH patients by treating them with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) in an attempt to mobilize normal progenitors. The expression of glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-linked proteins was analyzed by flow cytometry on mature neutrophils, late stem cells (CD34+/CD38+), and primitive stem cells (CD34+/CD38−). The phenotyping and stem cell quantitation was performed in steady-state blood and post–G-CSF administration. The most primitive PBSCs (CD34+/CD38−) were almost all normal before G-CSF treatment, even when the patients' neutrophils were mainly PNH. However, after G-CSF, the cells that were mobilized into the peripheral blood were of a similar phenotype to the mature neutrophils, ie, mainly PNH. It is possible that PNH-stem cells are preferentially destroyed by complement in the peripheral blood leaving only normal cells in the circulation. After G-CSF, the PNH cells in the marrow are released into the blood. Our findings suggest that it would be difficult to collect sufficient numbers of normal stem cells for autologous transplantation.
