Abstract We generated monoclonal antibodies against the human Flt3 receptor and used them to study the characteristics of normal human bone marrow cells resolved based on Flt3 expression. Human CD34+ or CD34+lin− marrow cells were sorted into two populations: cells expressing high levels of Flt3 receptor (Flt3high) and cells with little or no expression of Flt3 receptor (Flt3low). Flt3 receptor was detected on a subset of CD34+CD38− marrow cells, as well as on CD34+CD19+ B lymphoid progenitors and CD34+CD14+CD64+ monocytic precursors. Flt3 receptor was also present on more mature CD34−CD14+ monocytes. In colony-forming assays, Flt3high cells gave rise mainly to colony-forming unit–granulocyte-macrophage (CFU-GM) colonies, whereas Flt3low cells produced mostly burst-forming unit-erythroid colonies. There was no difference in the number of multilineage CFU-Mix colonies between the two cell fractions. Cell cycle analysis showed that a large number of the Flt3low cells were in the G0 phase of the cell cycle, whereas Flt3highcells were predominantly in G1. Cell numbers in the suspension cultures initiated with Flt3high cells were maintained in the presence of Flt3 ligand (FL) alone, and increased in response to FL plus kit ligand (KL). In contrast, cell numbers in the suspension cultures started with Flt3low cells did not increase in the presence of FL, or FL plus KL. Upregulation of Flt3 receptor on Flt3low cells was not detected during suspension culture. CD14+ monocytes were the major cell type generated from CD34+lin−Flt3high cells in liquid suspension culture, whereas cells generated from CD34+lin−Flt3low cells were mainly CD71+GlycA+ erythroid cells. These results show clear functional differences between CD34+Flt3high and CD34+Flt3low cells and may have implications concerning the in vitro expansion of human hematopoietic progenitor cells.

Certain C19 and C21 steroid metabolites, when incubated with normal human bone marrow cells in culture, increased the number of erythroid colonies in the presence of erythropoietin. Among a number of pairs of C5 epimeric steroids tested, most 5beta (A:B cis) steroids stimulated the growth of both early erythroid progenitor cells (BFU-E) and late erythroid progenitor cells (CFU-E), whereas only a few 5alpha-(A:B trans) steroids stimulated the growth of CFU-E. No 5alpha-compounds of six pairs of steroids studied were found to stimulate BFU-E formation. This structure-activity relationship conforms with that previously observed in studies of steroid induction of ALA-synthase in avian embryo liver cells and hemoglobin synthesis in the cultured avian blastoderm. When human bone marrow cells were preincubated with the steroids for 2 d, followed by incubation with erythropoietin, only the 5 beta-compounds stimulated the growth of BFU-E. Similarly, when addition of steroids was delayed in relation to erythropoietin in the culture, only the 5 beta-derivative of a pair of C5 epimeric compounds displayed an enhancing effect on the growth of BFU-E. This effect required that the steroid addition be made no later than 48 h after initiation of the culture. These data demonstrate that certain natural steroid metabolites significantly stimulate erythropoiesis in normal human bone marrow cells in culture. They also indicate that 5 beta-compounds are more stimulatory than their 5 alpha-epimers, and they suggest that these 5 beta-steroids act preferentially on very primitive erythroid progenitor cells, probably on BFU-E.

Abstract Human bone marrow cells cultured for 21 days in the presence of recombinant human interleukin-3 (IL-3) produced up to 28 times more colony-forming cells (CFC) than could be obtained from cultures stimulated with granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) or granulocyte-macrophage CSF (GM-CSF). IL-3-cultured cells retained a multipotent response to IL-3 in colony assays but were restricted to formation of granulocyte colonies in G-CSF and granulocyte or macrophage colonies in GM-CSF. Culture of bone marrow cells in IL-3 also led to accumulation of large numbers of eosinophils and basophils. These data contrast with the effects of G-CSF, GM-CSF, and IL-3 in seven-day cultures. Here both GM-CSF and IL-3 amplified total CFC that had similar multipotential colony-forming capability in either factor. G-CSF, on the other hand, depleted IL-3-responsive colony-forming cells dramatically, apparently by causing these cells to mature into granulocytes. The data suggest that a large proportion of IL-3- responsive cells in human bone marrow express receptors for G-CSF and can respond to this factor, the majority becoming neutrophils. Furthermore, the CFC maintained for 21 days in IL-3 may be a functionally distinct population from that produced after seven days culture of bone marrow cells in either IL-3 or GM-CSF.

Background: Possibility to control immune system by regulating the activity of Dendritic Cells (DC) with the help of vaccines or other immunobiological drugs opens great prospects for infectious, oncological and autoimmune control. The aim of this study was to evaluate in vitro the effect of adjuvant subunit and non-adjuvant split influenza vaccines on maturation of DCs from human bone marrow. Methods: From bone marrow cells of healthy volunteers, DCs were obtained using rGM-CSF and IL-4. On the 8th day of cultivation, 10μl of vaccines against influenza were introduced into the culture of Immature DCs (i-DCs): a non-adjuvant split vaccine (Vaxigripp, Sanofi Pasteur) and an immunoadjuvant subunit vaccine (Grippol plus, Petrovax), as well as immunomodulator Polyoxidonium. Results: Insertion of influenza vaccines into i-DC culture induced the acquisition by DCs typical morphological signs of maturation. DCs became large with eccentrically located of irregular shape nucleus, densified cytoplasm, numerous processes. By immunophenotypic examination decrease in monocyte/macrophage pool, cells with expression of CD34 immaturity marker, increase in expressing CD11c/CD86 costimulatory molecules and CD83 terminal differentiation molecules were observed. Although Polyoxidonium caused a decrease in number of CD11c/CD14 cells (18, 5%), but compared to vaccines, its activity was lower (p<0, 05). Grippol plus more actively induced differentiation of TLR2 and TLR8 expressing cells, whereas Vaxigripp-expression of TLR4 and TLR8 on DCs. Conclusion: The possibility of using in vitro model of DCs obtained from human bone marrow cells by cytokine stimulation for examination of the ability of influenza vaccines to induce DC maturation processes has been demonstrated.

ABSTRACT With the aim of developing an appropriate in vitro model of the sequestration of developing Plasmodium falciparumsexual-stage parasites, we have investigated the cytoadherence of gametocytes to human bone marrow cells of stromal and endothelial origin. Developing stage III and IV gametocytes, but not mature stage V gametocytes, adhere to bone marrow cells in significantly higher densities than do asexual-stage parasites, although these adhesion densities are severalfold lower than those encountered in classical CD36-dependent assays of P. falciparum cytoadherence. This implies that developing gametocytes undergo a transition from high-avidity, CD36-mediated adhesion during stages I and II to a lower-avidity adhesion during stages III and IV. We show that this adhesion is CD36 independent, fixation sensitive, stimulated by tumor necrosis factor alpha, and dependent on divalent cations and serum components. These data suggest that gametocytes and asexual parasites utilize distinct sets of receptors for adhesion during development in their respective sequestered niches. To identify receptors for gametocyte-specific adhesion of infected erythrocytes to bone marrow cells, we tested a large panel of antibodies for the ability to inhibit cytoadherence. Our results implicate ICAM-1, CD49c, CD166, and CD164 as candidate bone marrow cell receptors for gametocyte adhesion.
