Abstract Engraftment of hematopoietic progenitor cells has been shown to decrease during cell cycle transit. We studied cell cycle–associated changes in adhesion and migration of mitotically activated cord blood CD34+ cells. Migration toward medium conditioned by the stromal-derived factor-1–producing cell line MS-5 was studied in bovine serum albumin– and fibronectin (Fn)–coated transwells. Migration was reduced in cycling CD34+ cells and long-term culture-initiating cells (LTC-ICs) compared with their noncycling counterparts across Fn but not across bovine serum albumin. Conversely, Fn binding was higher in cycling CD34+ cells and LTC-ICs compared with noncycling progenitor cells, while adhesion of both subsets to bovine serum albumin was undetectable. The contribution of α4 and α5 integrins in mediating adhesion and migration of activated CD34+ cells onto Fn was analyzed by neutralization experiments. While α4-mediated Fn binding decreased during G2/M, α5 integrin–mediated adhesion increased during transit from G0/G1 to S and G2/M phases. As for migration, the contribution of α4 integrin was similar in all phases, whereas α5-directed migration was lower in G2/M compared with G0/G1and S phases. Defective migration of cycling CD34+ cells was not due to differences in α5 integrin expression. In conclusion, chemotaxis across Fn is less efficient in cycling progenitor cells in correlation with an increased Fn binding capacity. In addition, α4 and α5 integrin functions are independently modulated during cell cycle transit.

Abstract Bone marrow (BM) CD34+ cells residing in the G0 phase of cell cycle may be the most suited candidates for the examination of cell cycle activation and proliferation of primitive hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs). We designed a double simultaneous labeling technique using both DNA and RNA staining with Hoechst 33342 and Pyronin Y, respectively, to isolate CD34+ cells residing in G0(G0CD34+ ). Using long-term BM cultures and limiting dilution analysis, G0CD34+ cells were found to be enriched for primitive HPCs. In vitro proliferation of G0CD34+ cells in response to sequential cytokine stimulation was examined in a two-step assay. In the first step, cells received a primary stimulation consisting of either stem cell factor (SCF), Flt3-ligand (FL), interleukin-3 (IL-3), or IL-6 for 7 days. In the second step, cells from each group were washed and split into four or more groups, each of which was cultured again for another week with one of the four primary cytokines individually, or in combination. Tracking of progeny cells was accomplished by staining cells with PKH2 on day 0 and with PKH26 on day 7. Overall examination of proliferation patterns over 2 weeks showed that cells could progress into four phases of proliferation. Phase I contained cytokine nonresponsive cells that failed to proliferate. Phase II contained cells dividing up to three times within the first 7 days. Phases III and IV consisted of cells dividing up to five divisions and greater than six divisions, respectively, by the end of the 14-day period. Regardless of the cytokine used for primary stimulation, G0CD34+ cells moved only to phase II by day 7, whereas a substantial percentage of cells incubated with SCF or FL remained in phase I. Cells cultured in SCF or FL for the entire 14-day period did not progress beyond phase III but proliferated into phase IV (with <20% of cells remaining in phases I and II) if IL-3, but not IL-6, was substituted for either cytokine on day 7. G0CD34+ cells incubated with IL-3 for 14 days proliferated the most and progressed into phase IV; however, when SCF was substituted on day 7, cells failed to proliferate into phase IV. Most intriguing was a group of cells, many of which were CD34+, detected in cultures initially stimulated with IL-3, which remained as a distinct population, mostly in G0 /G1 , unable to progress out of phase II regardless of the nature of the second stimulus received on day 7. A small percentage of these cells expressed cyclin E, suggesting that their proliferation arrest may have been mediated by a cyclin-related disruption in cell cycle. These results suggest that a programmed response to sequential cytokine stimulation may be part of a control mechanism required for maintenance of proliferation of primitive HPCs and that unscheduled stimulation of CD34+ cells residing in G0 may result in disruption of cell-cycle regulation.

A number of studies have demonstrated the limited efficacy of S. pneumoniae type 3 capsular polysaccharide (CP) in the 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine against serotype 3 invasive pneumococcal diseases and carriage. Synthetic oligosaccharides (OSs) may provide an alternative to CPs for development of novel conjugated pneumococcal vaccines and diagnostic test systems. A comparative immunological study of di–, tri–, and tetra–bovine serum albumin (BSA) conjugates was performed. All oligosaccharides conjugated with biotin and immobilized on streptavidin-coated plates stimulated production of IL-1α, IL-2, IL-4, IL-5, IL-10, IFNγ, IL-17A, and TNFα, but not IL-6 and GM-CSF in monocultured mice splenocytes. The tetrasaccharide–biotin conjugate stimulated the highest levels of IL-4, IL-5, IL-10, and IFNγ, which regulate expression of specific immunoglobulin isotypes. The tetra–BSA conjugate adjuvanted with aluminum hydroxide elicited high levels of IgM, IgG1, IgG2a, and IgG2b antibodies (Abs). Anti-CP-induced Abs could only be measured using the biotinylated tetrasaccharide. The tetrasaccharide ligand possessed the highest binding capacity for anti-OS and antibacterial IgG Abs in immune sera. Sera to the tetra–BSA conjugate promoted greater phagocytosis of bacteria by neutrophils and monocytes than the CRM197-CP-antisera. Sera of mice immunized with the tetra–BSA conjugate exhibited the highest titer of anti-CP IgG1 Abs compared with sera of mice inoculated with the same doses of di– and tri–BSA conjugates. Upon intraperitoneal challenge with lethal doses of S. pneumoniae type 3, the tri– and tetra–BSA conjugates protected mice more significantly than the di–BSA conjugate. Therefore, it may be concluded that the tetrasaccharide ligand is an optimal candidate for development of a semi-synthetic vaccine against S. pneumoniae type 3 and diagnostic test systems.

Abstract Apheresis-derived hematopoietic progenitor cells have recently been used for allogeneic transplantation. Forty-one normal donors were studied to assess the effects of recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (rhG-CSF) (12 micrograms/kg/d) on the peripheralization of hematopoietic progenitor cells and lymphoid subsets. The white blood cell, polymorphonuclear cell (PMNC), and lymphocyte concentrations at the peak of rhG-CSF effect in the donor's peripheral blood (PB) exceeded baseline by 6.4-, 8.0-, and 2.2-fold, respectively. Corresponding concentrations of PB CD34+ cells and primitive subsets such as CD34+ Thy-1dim, and CD34+ Thy-1dim CD38- cells increased by 16.3-fold, 24.2-fold, and 23.2-fold, respectively in eight normal donors. The percentage of CD34+ Thy-1dim and CD34+ Thy- 1dim CD38- cells among CD34+ cells increased as well, suggesting an additional peripheralization effect of rhG-CSF on primitive CD34+ subsets. The preapheresis PB CD34+ and CD34+ Thy-1dim cell concentrations were predictive of their corresponding apheresis yield per liter of donor blood processed PB lymphoid subsets were not significantly affected by rhG-CSF treatment. The mean apheresis-derived yield of CD34+, CD34+ Thy-1dim, and CD34+ Thy-1dim CD38- cells per kilogram of recipient body weight and per liter of donor blood processed was 48.9 x 10(4) (n = 41), 27.2 x 10(4) (n = 10), and 1.9 x 10(4) (n = 10), respectively. As compared with 43 single bone marrow (BM) harvest, the CD34+ cell yield of peripheral blood progenitor cell allografts of 41 normal donors exceeded that of BM allografts by 3.7- fold and that of lymphoid subsets by 16.1-fold (CD3+), 13.3-fold (CD4+), 27.4-fold (CD8+), 11.0-fold (CD19+), and 19.4-fold (CD56+CD3-). All PBPC allografts were cryopreserved before transplantation. The mean recovery of CD34+ cells after freezing, thawing, and washing out dimethylsulfoxide was 86.6% (n = 31) and the recovery of lymphoid subsets was 115.5% (CD3+), 121.4% (CD4+), 105.6% (CD8+), 118.1% (CD19+), and 102.4% (CD56+CD3-). All donors were related to patients: 39 sibling-to-sibling, 1 parent-to-child, and 1 child-to-parent transplant. Thirty-eight transplants were HLA fully identical, two transplants differed in one and two antigens. Engraftment occurred in 38 recipients; two patients died too early to be evaluated, and one patient did not engraft. The lowest CD34+ cell dose transplanted and resulting in complete and sustained engraftment was 2.5 x 10(6)/kg of recipient body weight.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Fas antigen (Fas Ag; CD95) is a cell surface molecule that can mediate apoptosis. Bcl-2 is a cytoplasmic molecule that prolongs cellular survival by inhibiting apoptosis. To investigate the role of both molecules in hematopoiesis, we evaluated the expression of Fas Ag and Bcl-2 on CD34+ hematopoietic progenitor cells expanded in vitro. CD34+ cells isolated from bone marrow were cultured in iscove's modified Dulbecco's medium supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum, 1% bovine serum albumin, 50 ng/mL stem cell factor, 50 ng/mL interleukin-3 (IL-3), 50 ng/mL IL-6, 100 ng/mL granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, and 3 U/mL erythropoietin for 7 days. Colony-forming unit of granulocytes/macrophages (CFU-GM) and burst-forming unit of erythroids (BFU-E) were expanded 6.9-fold and 8.8-fold in number at day 5 of culture, respectively. Freshly isolated CD34+ cells did not express Fas Ag, whereas approximately half of them expressed Bcl-2. CD34+ cells cultured with hematopoietic growth factors gradually became positive for Fas Ag and rapidly lost Bcl-2 expression. Furthermore, apoptosis was induced in the cultured CD34+ population when anti-Fan antibody (IgM; 1 microgram/mL) was added, as shown by significant decrease in the number of viable cells, morphologic changes, induction of DNA fragmentation, and significant decrease in the number of clonogenic progenitor cells including CFU. GM and BFU-E. These results indicate that functional expression of Fas Ag is induced on CD34+ cells expanded in vitro in the presence of hematopoietic growth factors. Induction of Fas Ag and downregulation of Bcl-2 may be expressed as part of the differentiation program of hematopoietic cells and may be involved in the regulation of hematopoiesis.

Abstract Evaluation of candidate genes for stem cell gene therapy for acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) has been limited by the difficulty of supporting in vitro T-cell differentiation of genetically modified hematopoietic progenitor cells. Using a novel thymic stromal culture technique, we evaluated the ability of a hairpin ribozyme specific for simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) and human immunodeficiency virus type 2 (HIV-2) to inhibit viral replication in T lymphocytes derived from transduced CD34+ progenitor cells. Retroviral transduction of rhesus macaque CD34+ progenitor cells with a retroviral vector (p9456t) encoding the SIV-specific ribozyme and the selectable marker neomycin phosphotransferase in the presence of bone marrow stroma and in the absence of exogenous cytokines resulted in efficient transduction of both colony-forming units and long-term culture-initiating cells, with transduction efficiencies ranging between 21% and 56%. After transduction, CD34+ cells were cultured on rhesus thymic stromal culture (to support in vitro differentiation of T cells) or in the presence of cytokines (to support differentiation of macrophage-like cells). After expansion and selection with the neomycin analog G418, cells derived from transduced progenitor cells were challenged with SIV. CD4+ T cells derived from CD34+ hematopoietic cells transduced with the ribozyme vector p9456t were highly resistant to challenge with SIV, exhibiting up to a 500-fold decrease in SIV replication, even after high multiplicities of infection. Macrophages derived from CD34+ cells transduced with the 9456 ribozyme exhibited a comparable level of inhibition of SIV replication. These results show that a hairpin ribozyme introduced into CD34+ hematopoietic progenitor cells can retain the ability to inhibit AIDS virus replication after T-cell differentiation and support the feasibility of intracellular immunization of hematopoietic stem cells against infection with HIV and SIV. Protection of multiple hematopoietic lineages with the SIV-specific ribozyme should permit analysis of stem cell gene therapy for AIDS in the SIV/macaque model.
