Comparison of four serum-free, cytokine-free media for analysis of endogenous erythroid colony growth in polycythemia vera and essential thrombocythemia.
INTRODUCTION: The assay of endogenous erythroid colony formation (EEC),a characteristic of polycythemia vera and essential thrombocythemia,is not standardized. In this multicentric study,we tested four semisolid,serum-free,cytokine-free media based on either methylcellulose (M1,M2) or collagen (C1,C2) commercialized for the EEC assay. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMC) from 73 individuals (62 patients with either polycythemia vera (26),essential thrombocythemia (19),secondary polyglobuly (17) or chronic myeloid leukemia (2) and 11 healthy donors) were grown in parallel in the four media without,or with 0.01 U/ml erythropoietin (EPo). RESULTS: In all four media EEC formation was specific,as it was not observed in cultures of patients with secondary polyglobuly or chronic myeloid leukemia,nor of healthy donors. Analysis of fresh or MGG-stained collagen gel cultures allowed detection of EEC formation significantly more frequently than methylcellulose-based media; addition of 0.01 U/ml of EPo had little or no effect on EEC formation. Collagen-based medium C1 gave better results than the other media tested: the 'C1' EEC assay was positive for 68.2% of polycythemia vera cultures with significantly higher median EEC numbers (6.5/10(5) BMMC for patients with one major criteria of polycythemia vera and 19 and 21/10(5) BMMC for patients with two or three major criteria,respectively). Medium C1 was also better for essential thrombocythemia cultures with 47.4% of positive results but with a low median EEC number (6.7/10(5) BMMC). When associated with the ELISA dosage of serum EPo,the 'C1' EEC assay allowed confirmation or elimination of the diagnosis of polycythemia vera for 91% (20/22) of polyglobulic patients. CONCLUSION: We propose that serum-free collagen-based culture systems be considered to standardize the EEC assay,now part of the new criteria of polycythemia vera.

Ultrastructural study shows morphologic features of apoptosis and para-apoptosis in megakaryocytes from patients with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura.
To investigate whether altered megakaryocyte morphology contributes to reduced platelet production in idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP),ultrastructural analysis of megakaryocytes was performed in 11 ITP patients. Ultrastructural abnormalities compatible with (para-)apoptosis were present in 78% +/- 14% of ITP megakaryocytes,which could be reversed by in vivo treatment with prednisone and intravenous immunoglobulin. Immunohistochemistry of bone marrow biopsies of ITP patients with extensive apoptosis showed an increased number of megakaryocytes with activated caspase-3 compared with normal (28% +/- 4% versus 0%). No difference,however,was observed in the number of bone marrow megakaryocyte colony-forming units (ITP,118 +/- 93/105 bone marrow cells; versus controls,128 +/- 101/105 bone marrow cells; P =.7). To demonstrate that circulating antibodies might affect megakaryocytes,suspension cultures of CD34+ cells were performed with ITP or normal plasma. Morphology compatible with (para-)apoptosis could be induced in cultured megakaryocytes with ITP plasma (2 of 10 samples positive for antiplatelet autoantibodies). Finally,the plasma glycocalicin index,a parameter of platelet and megakaryocyte destruction,was increased in ITP (57 +/- 70 versus 0.7 +/- 0.2; P =.009) and correlated with the proportion of megakaryocytes showing (para-) apoptotic ultrastructure (P =.02; r = 0.7). In conclusion,most ITP megakaryocytes show ultrastructural features of (para-) apoptosis,probably due to action of factors present in ITP plasma.

Differences between peripheral blood and cord blood in the kinetics of lineage-restricted hematopoietic cells: implications for delayed platelet recovery following cord blood transplantation.
Cord blood (CB) cells are a useful source of hematopoietic cells for transplantation. The hematopoietic activities of CB cells are different from those of bone marrow and peripheral blood (PB) cells. Platelet recovery is significantly slower after transplantation with CB cells than with cells from other sources. However,the cellular mechanisms underlying these differences have not been elucidated. We compared the surface marker expression profiles of PB and CB hematopoietic cells. We focused on two surface markers of hematopoietic cell immaturity,i.e.,CD34 and AC133. In addition to differences in surface marker expression,the PB and CB cells showed nonidentical differentiation pathways from AC133(+)CD34(+) (immature) hematopoietic cells to terminally differentiated cells. The majority of the AC133(+)CD34(+) PB cells initially lost AC133 expression and eventually became AC133(-)CD34(-) cells. In contrast,the AC133(+)CD34(+) CB cells did not go through the intermediate AC133(-)CD34(+) stage and lost both markers simultaneously. Meanwhile,the vast majority of megakaryocyte progenitors were of the AC133(-)CD34(+) phenotype. We conclude that the delayed recovery of platelets after CB transplantation is due to both subpopulation distribution and the process of differentiation from AC133(+)CD34(+) cells.

Anemia, thrombocytopenia, leukocytosis, extramedullary hematopoiesis, and impaired progenitor function in Pten+/-SHIP-/- mice: a novel model of myelodysplasia.
The myeloproliferative disorder of mice lacking the Src homology 2 (SH2)-containing 5' phosphoinositol phosphatase,SHIP,underscores the need for closely regulating phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) pathway activity,and hence levels of phosphatidylinositol species during hematopoiesis. The role of the 3' phosphoinositol phosphatase Pten in this process is less clear,as its absence leads to embryonic lethality. Despite Pten heterozygosity being associated with a lymphoproliferative disorder,we found no evidence of a hematopoietic defect in Pten(+/-) mice. Since SHIP shares the same substrate (PIP(3)) with Pten,we hypothesized that the former might compensate for Pten haploinsufficiency in the marrow. Thus,we examined the effect of Pten heterozygosity in SHIP(-/-) mice,predicting that further dysregulation of PIP(3) metabolism would exacerbate the pheno-type of the latter. Indeed,compared with SHIP(-/-) mice,Pten(+/-)SHIP(-/-) animals developed a myelodysplastic phenotype characterized by increased hepatosplenomegaly,extramedullary hematopoiesis,anemia,and thrombocytopenia. Consistent with a marrow defect,clonogenic assays demonstrated reductions in committed myeloid and megakaryocytic progenitors in these animals. Providing further evidence of a Pten(+/-)SHIP(-/-) progenitor abnormality,reconstitution of irradiated mice with marrows from these mice led to a marked defect in short-term repopulation of peripheral blood by donor cells. These studies suggest that the regulation of the levels and/or ratios of PI3K-derived phosphoinositol species by these 2 phosphatases is critical to normal hematopoiesis.

Blocking the alpha 4 integrin-paxillin interaction selectively impairs mononuclear leukocyte recruitment to an inflammatory site.
Antagonists to alpha4 integrin show promise for several autoimmune and inflammatory diseases but may exhibit mechanism-based toxicities. We tested the capacity of blockade of alpha4 integrin signaling to perturb functions involved in inflammation,while limiting potential adverse effects. We generated and characterized mice bearing a Y991A mutation in alpha4 integrin [alpha4(Y991A) mice],which blocks paxillin binding and inhibits alpha4 integrin signals that support leukocyte migration. In contrast to the embryonic-lethal phenotype of alpha4 integrin-null mice,mice bearing the alpha4(Y991A) mutation were viable and fertile; however,they exhibited defective recruitment of mononuclear leukocytes into thioglycollate-induced peritonitis. Alpha4 integrins are essential for definitive hematopoiesis; however,the alpha4(Y991A) mice had intact lymphohematopoiesis and,with the exception of reduced Peyer's patches,normal architecture and cellularity of secondary lymphoid tissues. We conclude that interference with alpha4 integrin signaling can selectively impair mononuclear leukocyte recruitment to sites of inflammation while sparing vital functions of alpha4 integrins in development and hematopoiesis.

Leukosialin (CD43) defines hematopoietic progenitors in human embryonic stem cell differentiation cultures.
During hematopoietic differentiation of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs),early hematopoietic progenitors arise along with endothelial cells within the CD34(+) population. Although hESC-derived hematopoietic progenitors have been previously identified by functional assays,their phenotype has not been defined. Here,using hESC differentiation in coculture with OP9 stromal cells,we demonstrate that early progenitors committed to hematopoietic development could be identified by surface expression of leukosialin (CD43). CD43 was detected on all types of emerging clonogenic progenitors before expression of CD45,persisted on differentiating hematopoietic cells,and reliably separated the hematopoietic CD34(+) population from CD34(+)CD43(-)CD31(+)KDR(+) endothelial and CD34(+)CD43(-)CD31(-)KDR(-) mesenchymal cells. Furthermore,we demonstrated that the first-appearing CD34(+)CD43(+)CD235a(+)CD41a(+/-)CD45(-) cells represent precommitted erythro-megakaryocytic progenitors. Multipotent lymphohematopoietic progenitors were generated later as CD34(+)CD43(+)CD41a(-)CD235a(-)CD45(-) cells. These cells were negative for lineage-specific markers (Lin(-)),expressed KDR,VE-cadherin,and CD105 endothelial proteins,and expressed GATA-2,GATA-3,RUNX1,C-MYB transcription factors that typify initial stages of definitive hematopoiesis originating from endothelial-like precursors. Acquisition of CD45 expression by CD34(+)CD43(+)CD45(-)Lin(-) cells was associated with progressive myeloid commitment and a decrease of B-lymphoid potential. CD34(+)CD43(+)CD45(+)Lin(-) cells were largely devoid of VE-cadherin and KDR expression and had a distinct FLT3(high)GATA3(low)RUNX1(low)PU1(high)MPO(high)IL7RA(high) gene expression profile.

Transgenic expression of JAK2V617F causes myeloproliferative disorders in mice.
The JAK2(V617F) mutation was found in most patients with myeloproliferative disorders (MPDs),including polycythemia vera,essential thrombocythemia,and primary myelofibrosis. We have generated transgenic mice expressing the mutated enzyme in the hematopoietic system driven by a vav gene promoter. The mice are viable and fertile. One line of the transgenic mice,which expressed a lower level of JAK2(V617F),showed moderate elevations of blood cell counts,whereas another line with a higher level of JAK2(V617F) expression displayed marked increases in blood counts and developed phenotypes that closely resembled human essential thrombocythemia and polycythemia vera. The latter line of mice also developed primary myelofibrosis-like symptoms as they aged. The transgenic mice showed erythroid,megakaryocytic,and granulocytic hyperplasia in the bone marrow and spleen,displayed splenomegaly,and had reduced levels of plasma erythropoietin and thrombopoietin. They possessed an increased number of hematopoietic progenitor cells in peripheral blood,spleen,and bone marrow,and these cells formed autonomous colonies in the absence of growth factors and cytokines. The data show that JAK2(V617F) can cause MPDs in mice. Our study thus provides a mouse model to study the pathologic role of JAK2(V617F) and to develop treatment for MPDs.

Mammalian target of rapamycin is required for thrombopoietin-induced proliferation of megakaryocyte progenitors.
Thrombopoietin (TPO) is a potent regulator of megakaryopoiesis and stimulates megakaryocyte (MK) progenitor expansion and MK differentiation. In this study,we show that TPO induces activation of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway,which plays a central role in translational regulation and is required for proliferation of MO7e cells and primary human MK progenitors. Treatment of MO7e cells,human CD34+,and primary MK cells with the mTOR inhibitor rapamycin inhibits TPO-induced cell cycling by reducing cells in S phase and blocking cells in G0/G1. Rapamycin markedly inhibits the clonogenic growth of MK progenitors with high proliferative capacity but does not reduce the formation of small MK colonies. Addition of rapamycin to MK suspension cultures reduces the number of MK cells,but inhibition of mTOR does not significantly affect expression of glycoproteins IIb/IIIa (CD41) and glycoprotein Ib (CD42),nuclear polyploidization levels,cell size,or cell survival. The downstream effectors of mTOR,p70 S6 kinase (S6K) and 4E-binding protein 1 (4E-BP1),are phosphorylated by TPO in a rapamycin- and LY294002-sensitive manner. Part of the effect of the phosphatidyl inositol 3-kinase pathway in regulating megakaryopoiesis may be mediated by the mTOR/S6K/4E-BP1 pathway. In conclusion,these data demonstrate that the mTOR pathway is activated by TPO and plays a critical role in regulating proliferation of MK progenitors,without affecting differentiation or cell survival.

Differential expression of drug resistance genes in CD146 positive dental pulp derived stem cells and CD146 negative fibroblasts.
INTRODUCTION The stem cell portion of the dental pulp derived cultures (DPSCs) showed a higher resistance to cytotoxic effect of restorative dental materials compared to pulpal fibroblasts (DPFs). Here,we aimed to compare the expression of some drug resistant genes between these cells. METHODS AND MATERIALS To separate DPSCs from DPFs,we used magnetic cell sorting technique based on CD146 expression. To assess the stem cell properties,the positive and negative portions underwent colony forming assays and were induced to be differentiated into the adipocytes,osteoblasts,hepatocytes,and neural cells. Cell surface antigen panels were checked using immune fluorescence and flow-cytometry techniques. The mRNA expression of 14 ABC transporters including ABCA2,ABCB1,ABCB11,ABCC1,ABCC2,ABCC3,ABCC4,ABCC5-2,ABCC5-4,ABCC5-13,ABCC6,ABCC10,ABCC11,and ABCG2 genes was assessed,using quantitative RT-PCR technique. RESULTS Only the CD146 positive portion could be differentiated into the desired fates,and they formed higher colonies (16.7 ± 3.32 vs. 1.7 ± 1.67,p {\textless} .001). The cell surface antigen panels were the same,except for CD146 and STRO-1 markers which were expressed only in the positive portion. Among the ABC transporter genes studied,the positive portion showed a higher expression (approximately two-fold) of ABCA2,ABCC5-13,and ABCC5-2 genes. CONCLUSION Dental pulp stem cells which can be separated from dental pulp fibroblasts based on CD146 expression,express higher levels of some drug resistance genes which probably accounts for their features of more resistance to cytotoxic effects of some dental materials. This needs to be more validated in future.

Regulation of PDE5 expression in human aorta and thoracic aortic aneurysms.
Aneurysms and dissections affecting thoracic aorta are associated with smooth muscle cell (SMC) dysfunction. NO/cGMP signaling pathway in smooth muscle cells has been shown to be affected in sporadic thoracic aortic aneurysms. We analyzed the mRNA levels of PDE5,a cGMP-hydrolyzing enzyme highly expressed in aortic SMCs,that regulates arterious vascular tone by lowering cGMP levels. We found that aortic tissue obtained from Marfan,tricuspid and bicuspid thoracic aneurysms expressed lower levels of PDE5 mRNA compared to control aortas. In particular,we found that affected aortas showed lower levels of all the PDE5A isoforms,compared to control aortas. Transfection of vascular SMCs (VSMCs) with NOTCH3 activated domain (NICD3) induced the expression of PDE5A1 and A3 protein isoforms,but not that of the corresponding mRNAs. VSMC stimulation with GSNO,a nitric oxide analogue or with 8-br-cGMP,but not with 8-br-cAMP,up-regulated PDE5 and NOTCH-3 protein levels,indicating a negative feedback loop to protect the arterial wall from excessive relaxation. Finally,we found that PDE5 is expressed early during human aorta development,suggesting that if loss of function mutations of PDE5 occur,they might potentially affect aortic wall development.

Tescalcin is an essential factor in megakaryocytic differentiation associated with Ets family gene expression.
We show here that the process of megakaryocytic differentiation requires the presence of the recently discovered protein tescalcin. Tescalcin is dramatically upregulated during the differentiation and maturation of primary megakaryocytes or upon PMA-induced differentiation of K562 cells. This upregulation requires sustained signaling through the ERK pathway. Overexpression of tescalcin in K562 cells initiates events of spontaneous megakaryocytic differentiation,such as expression of specific cell surface antigens,inhibition of cell proliferation,and polyploidization. Conversely,knockdown of this protein in primary CD34+ hematopoietic progenitors and cell lines by RNA interference suppresses megakaryocytic differentiation. In cells lacking tescalcin,the expression of Fli-1,Ets-1,and Ets-2 transcription factors,but not GATA-1 or MafB,is blocked. Thus,tescalcin is essential for the coupling of ERK cascade activation with the expression of Ets family genes in megakaryocytic differentiation.

CD41+/CD45+ cells without acetylcholinesterase activity are immature and a major megakaryocytic population in murine bone marrow.
Murine megakaryocytes (MKs) are defined by CD41/CD61 expression and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity; however,their stages of differentiation in bone marrow (BM) have not been fully elucidated. In murine lineage-negative (Lin(-))/CD45(+) BM cells,we found CD41(+) MKs without AChE activity (AChE(-)) except for CD41(++) MKs with AChE activity (AChE(+)),in which CD61 expression was similar to their CD41 level. Lin(-)/CD41(+)/CD45(+)/AChE(-) MKs could differentiate into AChE(+),with an accompanying increase in CD41/CD61 during in vitro culture. Both proplatelet formation (PPF) and platelet (PLT) production for Lin(-)/CD41(+)/CD45(+)/AChE(-) MKs were observed later than for Lin(-)/CD41(++)/CD45(+)/AChE(+) MKs,whereas MK progenitors were scarcely detected in both subpopulations. GeneChip and semiquantitative polymerase chain reaction analyses revealed that the Lin(-)/CD41(+)/CD45(+)/AChE(-) MKs are assigned at the stage between the progenitor and PPF preparation phases in respect to the many MK/PLT-specific gene expressions,including beta1-tubulin. In normal mice,the number of Lin(-)/CD41(+)/CD45(+)/AChE(-) MKs was 100 times higher than that of AChE(+) MKs in BM. When MK destruction and consequent thrombocytopenia were caused by an antitumor agent,mitomycin-C,Lin(-)/CD41(+)/CD45(+)/AChE(-) MKs led to an increase in AChE(+) MKs and subsequent PLT recovery with interleukin-11 administration. It was concluded that MKs in murine BM at least in part consist of immature Lin(-)/CD41(+)/CD45(+)/AChE(-) MKs and more differentiated Lin(-)/CD41(++)/CD45(+)/AChE(+) MKs. Immature Lin(-)/CD41(+)/CD45(+)/AChE(-) MKs are a major MK population compared with AChE(+) MKs in BM and play an important role in rapid PLT recovery in vivo.
