Abstract Cell growth switches are engineered signaling molecules that can trigger cell growth in response to artificial ligands such as chemical inducers of dimerization (CIDs). We have previously shown that a cell growth switch comprised of the intracellular portion of the thrombopoietin receptor, Mpl, allows for the CID-dependent, in vivo expansion of genetically modified primary hematopoietic cells in mouse and dog models. Here we report the application of this approach to the in vivo expansion of genetically modified primary human hematopoietic cells using an immune deficient mouse model. A lentivirus vector encoding a CID-activatible deriviative of Mpl (F36VMpl) and a green fluorescent protein (GFP) reporter was used to transduce human cord blood CD34+ cells. Transduced human cord blood CD34+ cells expanded 347–495 fold in cultures containing no added growth factors and 100 nM of AP20187. We proceeded to test CID-responsiveness following transplantation into NOD-SCID-beta 2 microglobulin null mice. Since significant human red cell engraftment persists for only a few weeks post transplantation in this model, mice were evaluated at 3 weeks post transplantation, following a 2 week course of treatment with either CID (AP20187 10 mg/kg/day) or control vehicle alone (without CID). In 2 experiments totalling 42 mice, CID-administration resulted in a significant rise in GFP positive human cells, with the predominant response occuring among human erythroid cells (exp.1: 4.0 fold, P = 0.0003, exp.2: 12.7 fold, P = 0.038). An increase in transduced human erythroid progenitor cells was observed in the spleens (but not the femurs) of CID treated mice. Effects on other hematopoietic lineages were minor and variable. The effect of CID treatment was no longer evident five weeks after the last dose. The restriction of CID-induced cell growth to the erythroid lineage may make this approach well suited for gene therapy applications in sickle cell anemia and beta thalassemia.

CD164 is a novel 80- to 90-kD mucin-like molecule expressed by human CD34+ hematopoietic progenitor cells. Our previous results suggest that this receptor may play a key role in hematopoiesis by facilitating the adhesion of CD34+ cells to bone marrow stroma and by negatively regulating CD34+hematopoietic progenitor cell growth. These functional effects are mediated by at least two spatially distinct epitopes, defined by the monoclonal antibodies (MoAbs), 103B2/9E10 and 105A5. In this report, we show that these MoAbs, together with two other CD164 MoAbs, N6B6 and 67D2, show distinct patterns of reactivity when analyzed on hematopoietic cells from normal human bone marrow, umbilical cord blood, and peripheral blood. Flow cytometric analyses revealed that, on average, 63% to 82% of human bone marrow and 55% to 93% of cord blood CD34+ cells are CD164+, with expression of the 105A5 epitope being more variable than that of the other identified epitopes. Extensive multiparameter flow cytometric analyses were performed on cells expressing the 103B2/9E10 functional epitope. These analyses showed that the majority (>90%) of CD34+ human bone marrow and cord blood cells that were CD38lo/− or that coexpressed AC133, CD90(Thy-1), CD117(c-kit), or CD135(FLT-3) were CD164(103B2/9E10)+. This CD164 epitope was generally detected on a significant proportion of CD34+CD71lo/− or CD34+CD33lo/− cells. In accord with our previous in vitro progenitor assay data, these phenotypes suggest that the CD164(103B2/9E10) epitope is expressed by a very primitive hematopoietic progenitor cell subset. It is of particular interest to note that the CD34+CD164(103B2/9E10)lo/−cells in bone marrow are mainly CD19+ B-cell precursors, with the CD164(103B2/9E10) epitope subsequently appearing on CD34lo/−CD19+ and CD34lo/−CD20+ B cells in bone marrow, but being virtually absent from B cells in the peripheral blood. Further analyses of the CD34lo/−CD164(103B2/9E10)+ subsets indicated that one of the most prominent populations consists of maturing erythroid cells. The expression of the CD164(103B2/9E10) epitope precedes the appearance of the glycophorin C, glycophorin A, and band III erythroid lineage markers but is lost on terminal differentiation of the erythroid cells. Expression of this CD164(103B2/9E10) epitope is also found on developing myelomonocytic cells in bone marrow, being downregulated on mature neutrophils but maintained on monocytes in the peripheral blood. We have extended these studies further by identifying Pl artificial chromosome (PAC) clones containing the CD164 gene and have used these to localize the CD164 gene specifically to human chromosome 6q21. © 1998 by The American Society of Hematology.

Abstract We investigated the involvement of NF-κB/Rel transcription factors that reportedly can inhibit apoptosis in various cell types in the antiapoptotic mechanism of the cytoprotectant amifostine. In the nontumorigenic murine myeloid progenitor 32D cells incubated with amifostine, we detected a reduction of the IκB cytoplasmic levels by Western blotting and a raising of nuclear NF-κB/Rel complexes by electrophoretic mobility shift assay. Amifostine inhibited by more than 30% the growth factor deprivation-induced apoptosis, whereas its effect failed when we blocked the NF-κB/Rel activity with an NF-κB/Rel-binding phosphorothioate decoy oligodeoxynucleotide. In human cord blood CD34+ cells, the NF-κB/Rel p65 subunit was detectable (using immunofluorescence analysis) mainly in the cytoplasm in the absence of amifostine, whereas its presence was appreciable in the nuclei of cells incubated with the cytoprotectant. In 4 CD34+ samples incubated for 3 days in cytokine-deficient conditions, cell apoptosis was reduced by more than 30% in the presence of amifostine (or amifostine plus a control oligo); the effect of amifostine was abolished in cultures with the decoy oligo. These findings indicate that the inhibition of hematopoietic progenitor cell apoptosis by amifostine requires the induction of NF-κB/Rel factors and that the latter can therefore exert an antiapoptotic activity in the hematopoietic progenitor cell compartment. Furthermore, the identification of this specific mechanism underlying the survival-promoting activity of amifostine lends support to the possible use of this agent in apoptosis-related pathologies, such as myelodysplasias.

Abstract Megakaryocytopoiesis is a complex multistep process involving cell division, endoreplication, and maturation and resulting in the release of platelets into the blood circulation. Megakaryocytes (MK) progressively express lineage-restricted proteins, some of which play essential roles in platelet physiology. Glycoprotein (GP)Ib-V-IX (CD42) and GPIIb (CD41) are examples of MK-specific proteins having receptor properties essential for platelet adhesion and aggregation. This study defined the progressive expression of the GPIb-V-IX complex during in vitro MK maturation and compared it to that of GPIIb, an early MK marker. Human cord blood CD34+ progenitor cells were cultured in the presence of cytokines inducing megakaryocytic differentiation. GPIb-V-IX expression appeared at day 3 of culture and was strictly dependent on MK cytokine induction, whereas GPIIb was already present in immature CD34+ cells. Analysis by flow cytometry and of the messenger RNA level both showed that GPV appeared 1 day later than GPIb-IX. Microscopy studies confirmed the late appearance of GPV, which was principally localized in the cytoplasm when GPIb-IX was found on the cell surface, suggesting a delayed program of GPV synthesis and trafficking. Cell sorting studies revealed that the CD41+GPV+ population contained 4N and 8N cells at day 7, and was less effective than CD41+GPV− cells in generating burst-forming units of erythrocytes or MK colonies. This study shows that the subunits of the GPIb-V-IX complex represent unique surface markers of MK maturation. The genes coding for GPIb-IX and GPV are useful tools to study megakaryocytopoiesis and for tissue-specific or conditional expression in mature MK and platelets.

Abstract Fanconi anemia (FA) is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder characterized by a variety of physical anomalies, bone marrow failure, and an increased risk for malignancy. FA cells exhibit chromosomal instability and are hypersensitive to DNA cross-linking agents such as mitomycin C (MMC). FA is a clinically heterogeneous disorder and can be functionally divided into at least five different complementation groups (A-E). We previously described the use of a retroviral vector expressing the FAC cDNA in the complementation of mutant hematopoietic cells from FA-C patients. This vector is currently being tested in a clinical trial of ex vivo hematopoietic progenitor cell transduction. The FA-A group accounts for over 65% of all FA cases, and the FAA cDNA was recently identified by both expression and positional cloning techniques. We report here the transduction and phenotypic correction of lymphoblastoid cell lines from four unrelated FA-A patients, using two amphotropic FAA retroviral vectors. Expression of the FAA transgene was adequate to normalize cell growth, cell-cycle kinetics, and chromosomal breakage in the presence of MMC. We then analyzed the effect of retroviral vector transduction on hematopoietic progenitor cell growth. After FAA transduction of mutant progenitor cells, either colony number or colony size increased in the presence of MMC. In addition, FAA but not FAC retroviral transduction markedly improved colony growth of progenitor cells derived from an unclassified FA patient. FAA retroviral vectors should be useful for both complementation studies and clinical trials of gene transduction.
