Abstract The interaction between human hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) and their niche plays a key role in regulating maintenance of “stemness” and differentiation. We have demonstrated that a feeder layer of human mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) can serve as a surrogate model for the niche for human HSC. We could also show, MSC are intimately connected to one another by a novel kind of adhering junction, consisting of villiformto-vermiform cell projections (processus adhaerentes). With this background, we have analyzed the intercellular junctional complexes between HSC and MSC. In comparison, we also studied the cell-cell contacts between leukemia cells (LC) and MSC. MSC were derived from bone marrow aspirates from healthy voluntary donors. HSC were isolated from umbilical cord blood. Leukemia cells that were CD34+ were obtained from bone marrow aspirates from patients suffering from acute myeloid leukemia at the time point of initial diagnosis. After 24–48 hours of co-cultivation, we stained the cellular contacts with a panel of antibodies specific for various components of tight, gap and adherens junctions. Using advanced confocal laser scanning microscopy in combination with deconvolution and volume rendering software, we were able to produce 3D-images of intercellular junctions between HSC/MSC as well as between LC/MSC. To examine the specific function of N-cadherin, we analyzed the effect of siRNA knock down of N-cadherin in MSC upon co-cultures of HSC and MSC. Intercellular connections between HSC and MSC are mainly characterized by podia formation of the HSC linking to the adjacent MSC. At the intimate contact zone to the MSC, we have identified the cytoplasmic plaque proteins alpha- and beta-catenin, co-localized with the transmembrane glycoprotein N-cadherin. Additionally, we compared these findings with a similar setting consisting of human LC co-cultured with feeder-layer of MSC. Our results demonstrated that in comparison to HSC, the proportion of leukemia cells adherent to the feeder-layer is significantly lower and podia formation is less frequent (ratio 1:3). However, the mechanism of adhesion through cadherin-catenin-complex has remained the same. At a functional level, we found that siRNA knock down of N-cadherin in MSC resulted in decreased adhesion of HSC to MSC and in a reduction of cell divisions of HSC. These results confirm that direct cellular contact via N-cadherin-based junctions is essential for homing and adhesion of HSC to the cellular niche and subsequently for the regulation of self-renewal versus differentiation in HSC.

Background.Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is being widely applied as a therapy for hematological malignancies. The long-term outcome of allo-HSCT depends directly on the ability of cytotoxic T-lymphocytes to recognize and eliminate the residual tumor. CTLA-4 is one of the regulatory proteins that provide control over the development of the immune response. Polymorphisms in the CTLA4 gene can affect its function and the efficiency of the antitumor response.The objective:to study the effect of non-synonymous single nucleotide polymorphism (nsSNP) c.49A>G in the donor CTLA4 gene on tumor control in the recipient of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cells (HSC).Materials and methods.Donors of HSC were genotyped for nsSNP c.49A>G in the CTLA4 gene by the real-time polymerase chain reaction using the allele-specific primers. Genotyping data was validated by Sanger’s sequencing of 22 randomly selected samples. The overall survival, the event-free survival and relapse probability were calculated using the Kaplan–Mayer method. A log-rank test was used to assess the statistical significance of group disparities. A p-value of 0.05 was considered as significant.Results.The frequencies of the CTLA4 gene c.49A>G polymorphism alleles in the observed population (102 healthy donors of HSC) correspond to the frequencies obtained by the “1000 genomes” project for the European population. The effect of the donor CTLA4 polymorphism on the tumor control was evaluated on the cohort of patients with acute leukemia after human leukocyte antigen (HLA) matched HSCT from an unrelated donor. It was shown, the three-year relapse-free survival was significantly lower for those patients who received grafts from a donor with the homozygous A/A state of nsSNP c.49A>G (p = 0.01), it was 12.7 % versus 62,8 % in group with c.49A>G G/G and A/G donor genotypes. The incidence of relapse was also significantly different for the group with A/A genotype and for the group with G/G or A/G genotypes of the nsSNP and equaled to 83.7 and 29.3 % respectively (p = 0.03).Conclusion.Patients with acute leukemia, who underwent allo-HSCT from unrelated completely HLA-matched donors with c.49A>G G/G or A/G genotypes have the significantly lower risk of relapse than patients whose donors had the A/A genotype. These results suggest practicability of the nsSNP genotyping for the optimal donor selection.
