The article studies the correlation of the content of peripheral blood and red bone marrow eosinophils with the level of secretion of fibroblast growth factor (FGF-21), insulin-like factor (IGF-1) and vasculoendothelial growth factor (VEGF-C) in blood serum during the formation of dermal collagen after local cold damage. Animals of the experimental group after the onset of narcotic sleep on the depilated skin of the back were simulated contact frostbite of the 3rd degree. On the 3rd, 7th, 14th and 21st day of the experiment, the concentrations of growth factors, % dermal collagen content, and also the content of eosinophils in peripheral blood and red bone marrow were determined in the blood serum. The research results showed that the development of eosinopenia after a local cold injury occurs due to the sequestration of eosinophils in the affected area. The presence of reactive changes after a local cold injury not only in peripheral blood, but also in the red bone marrow may indicate the participation of eosinophils in tissue repair processes after a local cold injury.

Abstract Introduction The incidence of multiple myeloma (MM) increases with age, yet some cytogenetic changes are actually more common in younger patients with MM (Avet-Loiseau J Clin Oncol 2013).  This suggests that a mechanism other than chromosomal changes underlies the increased incidence with age.  Senescent cells secrete a number of proinflammatory cytokines, chemokines, growth factors and proteases resulting in the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), which can promote tumor growth.  Preclinical data suggests that myeloma bone marrow stromal cells express the SASP (Andre PLOS ONE 2013). We hypothesized that SASP factors correlate with age in patients with MM. Methods Peripheral blood serum and matched bone marrow aspirate plasma from patients with multiple myeloma were evaluated for selected factors associated with the SASP using quantitative multiplex immunoassay (Rules Based Medicine, Austin TX USA).  SASP factors with a known role in MM [interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-8 (IL-8), interleukin-15 (IL-15), granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GMCSF), intercellular adhesion molecule 1(ICAM1), osteoprotegerin (OPG), hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), insulin-like growth factor-binding protein(IGFBP-1), interleukin-1 beta (IL1b), monocyte chemotactic protein 1(MCP-1), macrophage inflammatory protein-1 alpha(MIP-1a), angiogenin, leptin,  vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 1(VEGFR1) and stem cell factor(SCF)] were selected. The relationship between age and SASP factors were analyzed using Kendall tau rank correlation coefficient. Results Samples from 25 patients (each with peripheral blood serum and matched bone marrow aspirate plasma) were analyzed.  The median age was 62 (range 47 - 74). Disease states were as follows: 36% newly diagnosed/untreated, 24% pretransplant and 40% relapsed.  ISS stage included 40% stage I, 28% stage II and 32% stage III.  Three of the selected SASP factors in the peripheral blood correlated   with age:  IL-8 (Kendall Tau 0.334, p=0.027), OPG (Kendall Tau 0.289, p=0.046) and MCP-1 (Kendall Tau 0.332, p=0.022).  No SASP factors tested in the bone marrow plasma were significantly correlated with age. Conclusions We demonstrated age-associated differences in the SASP factors IL-8, OPG and MCP-1 in the peripheral blood of myeloma patients.  Future research will examine differences between patients with myeloma and age-matched controls without cancer.

Abstract Background: Previous studies have proposed combination of various factors that predict poor mobilization after GCSF stimulation. However, there is no single clinical or laboratory test that reliably correlates with bone marrow reserve and PBPC mobilization. Peripheral blood CD34+ cell count (pCD34) reliably correlates with PBPC mobilization and yield but only after GCSF administration. Methods: We have prospectively followed 36 autologous PBPC transplant candidates, from the time of initial evaluation to transplant, to evaluate factors the correlate with bone marrow reserve and autologous PBPC mobilization. Results: The patients median age was 63 (range 26 – 76). 21 of the 36 patients were diagnosed with dysproteinemia, primarily multiple myeloma, 10 patients had non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma while the remaining 5 had other form of hematological malignancies. Our evaluation shows baseline platelet count prior to growth factor administration significantly correlate with total CD34+ cell yield (spearman: r = 0.64, p <0.001, Figure 1). In addition, daily platelet count during PBPC harvest correlate with CD34+ cell yield for the day (spearman: r = 0.6, p <0.001). Using multiple linear regression model (F = 19.1, p <0.001, R2 = 0.64), we have determined patients’ age (p = 0.03) and type of disease (p <0.001), in addition to platelet count (p<0.001), significantly correlate with total CD34+ cell yield. Further analysis showed low baseline platelet count predicts poor PBPC mobilization. Using Receiver Operating Curve (ROC), we have determined that platelet count of 174,000/ul was the best cut-off for collecting at least 2 million/Kg CD34+ cells with sensitivity of 81% and specificity of 78% and estimated correct classification of 81%. Even though pCD34 counts were slightly more sensitive and were better at identifying poor mobilizers in our cohort (best cut-off 10/ul, sensitivity 96%, specificity 67%, correct classification 89%), their clinical utility were diminished since the values were only known after GCSF administration. Conclusion: Baseline platelet count is a sensitive predictor of bone marrow reserve and can be used prior to growth factor administration to predict poor mobilization.

Abstract Because human P40 T-cell growth factor, tentatively designated interleukin-9 (IL-9), was isolated through its ability to stimulate a human IL-3-dependent leukemic cell line (M-O7E), we tested the ability of IL-9 to support the growth and differentiation of normal hematopoietic progenitor cells from peripheral blood and bone marrow. Although the M-O7E cell line was derived from a patient with megakaryoblastic leukemia, IL-9 has not proved to be a growth or maturation factor for megakaryocytes, but instead has proved to be effective in supporting the development of erythroid bursts (BFU-E) in cultures supplemented with erythropoietin. Using highly purified progenitors from peripheral blood, IL-3 showed a BFU-E plating efficiency of 46% compared with 20% for IL-9. Because of the purity of these cell preparations and the low cell density in culture, IL-9 is likely to interact directly with erythroid progenitors. Analysis of mixing experiments and of the morphology of the BFU-E in culture indicated that IL-9 interacts preferentially with a relatively early population of IL-3-responsive BFU-E. In cultures of human bone marrow or cord blood, IL-9 selectively supported erythroid colony formation, while IL-3 and granulocyte/macrophage colony-stimulating factor additionally yielded granulocyte/macrophage colonies. Therefore, IL-9 represents a new T cell-derived cytokine with the potential for selectively stimulating erythroid development in the hematopoietic system.

The aim: To assess the values of endothelial vascular growth factor (VEGF) in blood serum and circulating endothelial microparticles CD32+CD40+ in the peripheral blood of pregnant women depending on the severity of obesity and presence of preeclampsia. Materials and methods: the study included 122 pregnant women divided into groups in accordance with their height and weight parameters and presence of preeclampsia. We studied the serum VEGF concentration by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, carried out the count of CD32+CD40+ circulating endothelial microparticles in the peripheral blood by using flow cytometry. Results: It has been found out the serum VEGF concentration in pregnant women with obesity decreases with rising level of obesity and the preeclampsia manifestation. In contrast to the decrease in this marker, there is an increase in the number of circulating endothelial microparticles CD32+CD40+ in the peripheral blood of pregnant women with obesity and preeclampsia. This pattern of these indicators points out the presence of endothelial dysfunction, which may contribute to occurrence of preeclampsia in pregnant women with concomitant obesity. Conclusions: The indicators of VEGF concentration and the count of circulating endothelial microparticles CD32+CD40+ in the blood serum can serve as reliable markers for evaluating the severity of endothelial dysfunction in pregnant women with concomitant obesity and preeclampsia.

To study the differentiation process of erythroid progenitors from normal human bone marrow and peripheral blood, CD34/CD36 sorted cells were cultured in the presence of Erythropoietin (Epo) and Epo plus mast cell growth factor (MGF). The CD34+/CD36- cell fraction from bone marrow supported 74 +/- 33 erythroid burst forming units (BFU-E)/10(4) cells (mean +/- SD, n = 4) in the presence of Epo, which increased 2.1- fold by coculturing with MGF. However, erythroid colony-forming units (CFU-E) were not cultured from the CD34+/CD36- cell fraction. In contrast, the CD34-/CD36+ cell fraction supported CFU-Es in the presence of Epo (152 +/- 115/10(5)) or Epo plus MGF (180 +/- 112/10(5)), whereas BFU-Es were hardly noticed. However, the transition of the BFu-E to CFU-E was observed by incubating CD34+/CD36- cells (10(4)/100 microL) in suspension with Epo plus MGF for 7 days followed by Epo in the colony assay. This was reflected by the appearance of CD34-/CD36+/Glycophorin A+/CD14- cells. In addition high numbers of CFU- Es (1,000 +/- 150, n = 4) were cultured from this cell fraction. In contrast to bone marrow erythroid progenitors, no peripheral blood CFU- Es were cultured from either the CD36+ or CD36- fraction, whereas BFU- Es were predominantly present in the CD36+ fraction. However, the CD34+ progenitor cell from peripheral blood did have intrinsic capacity to differentiate to CFU-Es because CD34+/CD36- cells incubated with Epo plus MGF for 7 days and followed by Epo in the colony assay, supported high numbers of CFU-Es (1,200 +/- 400, n = 3). To study whether additional growth factors have similar effects on erythroid progenitors, experiments were performed with interleukin 1 (IL-1), IL- 3, and IL-6. IL-1 and IL-6 did not modulate the Epo supported proliferation and differentiation. In contrast, IL-3 in the presence of Epo did support CFU-Es, from CD34+/CD36- cells after 7 days in suspension culture. However, flow cytometry analysis showed that Epo plus IL-3 not only supported CD34-/CD36+/Glycophorin A+ cells but also CD36+/CD14+ cells, indicating the differentiation along different cell lineages. In summary, the data show a phenotypic distinction between bone marrow and peripheral blood erythroid progenitors with regard to CD36 expression. In addition, the results suggest that Epo plus MGF or IL-3 and preincubation in suspension culture are prerequisites for the transition of the BFU-E to the CFU-E.

We have shown previously that basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) is a mitogen for human bone marrow (BM) stromal cells and that bFGF stimulates myelopoiesis in primary BM cultures. In this article, we demonstrate the presence of bFGF in two cell lineages in human BM and peripheral blood as well as the deposition of bFGF into the extracellular matrix of BM stromal cell cultures. In immunofluorescence experiments on BM and peripheral blood smears, megakaryocytes and platelets stained strongly for bFGF, whereas weaker staining was observed in immature and mature cells of the granulocyte series. The presence of bFGF in platelets was confirmed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay as well as by immunoprecipitation followed by immunoblotting. bFGF was synthesized by BM stromal cell cultures and was found either cell associated or localized in the nucleus and the nucleoli, and its location was dependent on the fixation procedure used. Addition of exogenous bFGF to stromal cells showed the presence of extracellular binding molecules for this cytokine. bFGF could be released from these sites by soluble heparin or phosphatidylinositol- specific phospholipase C. This study supports the role of bFGF as a stromal cell mitogen and stimulator of myelopoiesis. The data indicate that the stromal cells produce bFGF and that their extracellular matrix can serve as a reservoir for this growth factor. In addition, the results suggest a possible involvement of bFGF in platelet function as well as in megakaryocytopoiesis.

To investigate cellular mechanisms involved in thyroid hormone stimulation of erythropoiesis, we studied the response of erythroid burst-forming unit (BFU-E) proliferation to L-triiodothyronine (L-T3) in a serum-free culture system. When added directly to culture, L-T3 stimulates erythroid burst formation by normal human bone marrow cells. In contrast, granulocyte-macrophage colony formation is unaffected. Enhancement of erythroid burst formation by L-T3 required the presence of nylon wool adherent and/or B-4 antigen-positive light-density marrow populations. Addition of other erythropoietic factors including platelet-derived growth factor and insulinlike growth factor II did not abrogate this apparent cellular requirement. Pulse exposure of marrow and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (greater than 95% lymphocytes) to L-T3 accelerates the release of a soluble factor that augments BFU-E proliferation into serum-free liquid culture medium. Time-course studies show that this factor appears in conditioned medium (CM) coincidentally with erythroid burst-promoting activity (BPA). Furthermore, incubation of CM with an antibody known to react with and adsorb BPA from solution removes the inducible mitogen. Biochemical analysis of CM prepared from unexposed and L-T3 pulse-exposed cells indicates that the rate of protein appearance is accelerated by L-T3 in a fashion that immediately precedes growth factor release and that several polypeptides are quantitatively increased. We conclude that unlike erythropoietin, which is mitogenic for progenitor cells directly, L-T3 enhances BFU-E proliferation indirectly by augmenting the release of soluble BPA-like molecules from accessory cells in culture.
