Human bone marrow-derived mast cells (hBMMCs), differentiated in vitro in suspension culture and under the influence of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells conditioned medium (hCM), were tested for their response to recombinant human interleukin-3 (rhIL-3) and for their behavior in different microenvironments. The hBMMCs were incubated in the presence of rhIL-3 and the changes in their proliferation rate were determined. Recombinant hIL-3 induced a more than sixfold increase in 3H-thymidine uptake into the hBMMC DNA in a dose-dependent manner. Human CM used as a control for proliferation response induced a more than eightfold maximal proliferation rate increase. Rabbit anti-rhIL-3 completely inhibited hBMMC 3H-thymidine uptake induced by rhIL-3 and decreased the hCM-induced proliferation by approximately 50%. These hBMMCs were cocultured with four different mytomicin C-treated cell monolayers and assayed for phenotypic changes. After only 2 days in coculture with either embryonic mouse skin-derived fibroblasts (MESFs) or human skin-derived fibroblasts (HSFs), a marked increase in granule number and density was noted on staining with toluidine blue. Mast cells that initially stained alcian blue+/safranin- at day 0 of coculture became alcian blue+/safranin+ during the coculture period. Human BMMC proteoglycan synthesis shifted from approximately 85% chondroitin sulfate E to approximately 60% heparin within 14 to 19 days of coculture with the MESF monolayer and to approximately 50% heparin within 19 days of coculture with the HSF monolayer. None of the above- mentioned changes were noted in cocultures of hBMMCs with 3T3 cell line fibroblast monolayers or in cocultures with bovine vascular endothelium (BVE) cell monolayers. These results demonstrate microenvironmental effects exerted by the MESF and HSF monolayers on IL-3-dependent hBMMCs similar to those reported in the conversion of murine mast cell phenotype.

Abstract 1. Tissue mast cells were found in 7 of 2800 human bone marrows studied. 2. Tissue mast cells represented 1.0 per cent or more of the marrow cells in 3 of the cases, and each of the 3 exhibited some degree of marrow depression, as evidenced by anemia, leukopenia and/or thrombocytopenia. 3. The morphology and histochemistry of tissue mast cells in human bone marrow are described. 4. A relationship between tissue mast cells and marrow cellular depression is suggested based upon a possible inhibitory action of heparin upon local cell growth.

In the mouse, mast cell progenitor cells (Thyl +) have been shown to originate in the bone marrow. In humans, it has been suggested that mast cell progenitors also exist in the bone marrow, are derived from a common stem cell, and mature under cytokine influence in the tissue. Progenitor cells or CD34+ cells comprise approximately 1% of bone marrow mononuclear cells.Previously we have shown that a heterogenous population of human bone marrow cells cultured over agarose surfaces in the presence of rhIL-3 gives rise to basophils and small numbers of mast cells. Cells were identified as basophils based on characteristic morphology, metachromatic staining with Wright-Giemsa and acid toluidine blue, surface IgE as determined by fluorescence and the presence of histamine by o-Phthaldialdehyde condensation. These cells did not stain for the mast cell specific neutral protease, tryptase. Cells identified as mast cells had IgE receptors, contained histamine and were chloroacetate esterase and human mast cell tryptase positive.
