Abstract The effects of a novel cytokine FLK2/FLT3 ligand (FL) on human fetal bone marrow-derived CD34+CD19+ pro-B cells were analyzed in a stromal- cell-independent, serum-deprived culture system. FL, like interleukin-3 (IL-3), synergized with IL-7 in promoting pro-B cell growth, and differentiation of these cells into CD34-CD19+clgM+slgM- pre-B cells, whereas a small proportion of these cells even differentiate into more mature slgM+ B cells. In contrast, KIT ligand (KL) and granulocyte- macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) were ineffective in promoting IL-7-dependent pro-B cell growth and differentiation. Maximal levels of pro-B cell expansion, generally resulting in 15- to 30-fold increases in cellularity, were obtained in cultures supplemented with optimal doses of FL + IL-7 + IL-3. The addition of mouse bone marrow stromal cells further enhanced the proliferation and differentiation of pro-B cells obtained in the presence of these three cytokines. Under these conditions, cultures could be maintained for more than 4 weeks, and in general 40- to 50-fold increases in cell numbers were observed by 3 weeks of culture. The percentages of clgM+ and slgM+ B cells increased 1.5- to 3-fold and 2-fold, respectively, suggesting that stromal cells may provide additional costimulatory signals for human B- cell growth and differentiation that are different from IL-7, IL-3, and FL. Collectively, our results indicate that FL, in contrast to KL, strongly promotes long-term expansion and differentiation of human pro- B cells in the presence of IL-7 or in combination of IL-7 and IL-3, which is a novel property of this hematopoietic growth factor.
