    摘要: Methods for establishing continuous SCF dependent lympho-hematopoietic progenitor cell lines capable of differentiating into erythroid, myeloid, and B lymphocytic lineages, and GM-CSF dependent neutrophil progenitor cell lines capable of differentiating into neutrophils but not into monocytes, mast cells, or basophils, by introducing into bone marrow, fetal spleen, fetal liver, or other hematopoietic myeloid cells nucleic acid encoding a dominant negative suppressor of a retinoic acid receptor-alpha and a selectable marker, and culturing the recombinant cells in culture medium containing SCF or GM-CSF, agents allowing for selective growth of the recombinant cells, and a level of retinoic acid of less than about 10.sup.-8 M to about 10.sup.-9 M in the case of establishing neutrophilic progenitor cell lines. Addition of a retinol compound induces the latter cell line to differentiate into neutrophils.

    摘要: Hematopoietic stem cells are extremely difficult to maintain or expand in vitro. Two observations in traditional long-term bone marrow cultures strongly suggest that macrophages may be at the root of the problem: First, micromolar concentrations of hydrocortisone improve the longevity of long-term bone marrow cultures and hydrocortisone is known as a potent inhibitor of macrophage production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, chemokines, enzymes, nitrogen oxide and reactive oxygen species and redirects macrophages to the anti-inflammatory differentiation pathway; Second, the decline of hematopoiesis in long-term bone marrow cultures coincides with the development of large numbers of adherent and non-adherent macrophages including foreign body giant cells. These adherent macrophages and foreign body giant cells exhibit well-spread morphology, contain numerous lysosomes and phagolysosomes in the cytoplasm and are metabolically active. We hypothesize that hydrocortisone fails to suppress all aspects of macrophage pro-inflammatory activation/differentiation, resulting in the production of inhibitors or toxins of hematopoiesis. Macrophage adhesion in cell culture depends on serum proteins pre-adsorbed to the tissue-culture-treated polystyrene (TC-PS), which adsorbs proteins via mostly hydrophilic interactions. TC-PS is used in almost all tissue culture devices currently available. Cellular adhesion provides a strong stimulus for metabolic, mitotic and certain gene activities. Therefore, we seek to reduce macrophage adhesion and activation by culturing bone marrow cells in tissue culture devices composed of or covered with polymers with very different protein-binding characteristics than TC-PS such as polyethylene (PE) and other polyolefins, the latter bind proteins via exclusively hydrophobic interactions. As a result, polyolefins bind different proteins and in lower quantities than TC-PS. Furthermore, PE does not contain additional chemical features like the phenolic rings of polystyrene that might contribute to protein binding and macrophage adhesion/activation. Using these new culture devices, we developed a drastically different long-term bone marrow culture, the “Low Macrophage-Adhesion/Activation” (LoMAC) bone marrow culture. In LoMAC bone marrow culture, hematopoiesis continues for months to over a year and hematopoietic stem cells are amplified gradually. In stark contrast to traditional long-term bone marrow cultures, de novo erythropoiesis and megakaryocytopoiesis proceed robustly in the LoMAC bone marrow culture and B-lymphocyte and natural killer cell progenitors can be continuously derived. Thus, these new culture devices and the associated LoMAC culture method offer a new way to study hematopoiesis in vitro and provide a more robust platform for the expansion of hematopoietic stem cells and progenitors ex vivo.

    摘要: Penumbra is the newest member of the tetraspanin superfamily of membrane proteins. A major obstacle in penumbra research has been the lack of monoclonal antibodies against the native penumbra. In this invention, we detail the establishment and characterization of monoclonal antibodies that recognize both human and mouse penumbras on living cells. Furthermore, we created chimeric mouse-human IgG1 antibodies from these mouse monoclonal antibodies. Using these antibodies, we demonstrate for the first time that penumbra is expressed on the surface of virtually all CD19+ or CD20+ B lymphocytes in blood, bone marrow, spleen and lymph nodes. In vivo, these monoclonal antibodies shrank lymphoid follicles in spleen. Thus, these antibodies establish penumbra as a novel B cell marker with a wider range of expression level than CD19 or CD20. These monoclonal antibodies pave the way for new research and potential therapeutic applications in immunology, hematology and oncology.
