In vitro proliferation potential of AC133 positive cells in peripheral blood.
AC133 antigen is a novel marker for human hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells. In this study,we examined the expression and proliferation potential of AC133(+) cells obtained from steady-state peripheral blood (PB). The proportion of AC133(+) cells in the CD34(+) subpopulation of steady-state PB was significantly lower than that of cord blood (CB),although that of cytokine-mobilized PB was higher than that of CB. The proliferation potential of AC133(+)CD34(+) and AC133(-)CD34(+) cells was examined by colony-forming analysis and analysis of long-term culture-initiating cells (LTC-IC). Although the total number of colony-forming cells was essentially the same in the AC133(+)CD34(+) fraction as in the AC133(-)CD34(+) fraction,the proportion of LTC-IC was much higher in the AC133(+)CD34(+) fraction. Virtually no LTC-IC were detected in the AC133(-)CD34(+) fraction. In addition,the features of the colonies grown from these two fractions were quite different. Approximately 70% of the colonies derived from the AC133(+)CD34(+) fraction were granulocyte-macrophage colonies,whereas more than 90% of the colonies derived from the AC133(-)CD34(+) fraction were erythroid colonies. Furthermore,an ex vivo expansion study observed expansion of colony-forming cells only in the AC133(+)CD34(+) population,and not in the AC133(-)CD34(+) population. These findings suggest that to isolate primitive hematopoietic cells from steady-state PB,selection by AC133 expression is better than selection by CD34 expression.

Selective elimination of leukemic CD34(+) progenitor cells by cytotoxic T lymphocytes specific for WT1.
Hematologic malignancies such as acute and chronic myeloid leukemia are characterized by the malignant transformation of immature CD34(+) progenitor cells. Transformation is associated with elevated expression of the Wilm's tumor gene encoded transcription factor (WT1). Here we demonstrate that WT1 can serve as a target for cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) with exquisite specificity for leukemic progenitor cells. HLA-A0201- restricted CTL specific for WT1 kill leukemia cell lines and inhibit colony formation by transformed CD34(+) progenitor cells isolated from patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML),whereas colony formation by normal CD34(+) progenitor cells is unaffected. Thus,the tissue-specific transcription factor WT1 is an ideal target for CTL-mediated purging of leukemic progenitor cells in vitro and for antigen-specific therapy of leukemia and other WT1-expressing malignancies in vivo.

High levels of lymphoid expression of enhanced green fluorescent protein in nonhuman primates transplanted with cytokine-mobilized peripheral blood CD34(+) cells.
We have used a murine retrovirus vector containing an enhanced green fluorescent protein complimentary DNA (EGFP cDNA) to dynamically follow vector-expressing cells in the peripheral blood (PB) of transplanted rhesus macaques. Cytokine mobilized CD34(+) cells were transduced with an amphotropic vector that expressed EGFP and a dihydrofolate reductase cDNA under control of the murine stem cell virus promoter. The transduction protocol used the CH-296 recombinant human fibronectin fragment and relatively high concentrations of the flt-3 ligand and stem cell factor. Following transplantation of the transduced cells,up to 55% EGFP-expressing granulocytes were obtained in the peripheral circulation during the early posttransplant period. This level of myeloid marking,however,decreased to 0.1% or lower within 2 weeks. In contrast,EGFP expression in PB lymphocytes rose from 2%-5% shortly following transplantation to 10% or greater by week 5. After 10 weeks,the level of expression in PB lymphocytes continued to remain at 3%-5% as measured by both flow cytometry and Southern blot analysis,and EGFP expression was observed in CD4(+),CD8(+),CD20(+),and CD16/56(+) lymphocyte subsets. EGFP expression was only transiently detected in red blood cells and platelets soon after transplantation. Such sustained levels of lymphocyte marking may be therapeutic in a number of human gene therapy applications that require targeting of the lymphoid compartment. The transient appearance of EGFP(+) myeloid cells suggests that transduction of a lineage-restricted myeloid progenitor capable of short-term engraftment was obtained with this protocol.
