Purified natural (n) and recombinant (r) murine (mu) mast cell growth factor (MGF, a c-kit ligand) were evaluated alone and in combination with r human (hu) erythropoietin (Epo), rhu granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (rhuGM-CSF), rhuG-CSF, and/or rhuM-CSF for effects in vitro on colony formation by multipotential (colony-forming unit-granulocyte, erythroid, monocyte, megakaryocyte [CFU-GEMM]), erythroid (burst-forming unit erythroid [BFU-E]) and granulocyte- macrophage (CFU-GM) progenitor cells from normal human bone marrow. MGF was a potent enhancing cytokine for Epo-dependent CFU-GEMM and BFU-E colony formation, stimulating more colonies and of a larger size than either rhu interleukin-3 (rhuIL-3) or rhuGM-CSF. MGF, especially at lower concentrations, also acted with rhuIL-3 or rhuGM-CSF to enhance Epo-dependent CFU-GEMM and BFU-E colony formation. MGF had little stimulating activity for CFU-GM colonies by itself, but in combination with suboptimal to optimal amounts of rhuGM-CSF enhanced the numbers and the size of CFU-GM colonies in an additive to greater than additive manner. While we did not detect an effect of MGF on CFU-G colony numbers stimulated by maximal concentrations of rhuG-CSF, MGF did enhance the size of CFU-G-derived colonies. MGF did not enhance the activity of rhuM-CSF. In a comparative assay, maximal concentrations of rmu and rhuMGF were equally effective in the enhancement of human bone marrow colony formation, but rhuMGF, in contrast to rmuMGF, did not at the concentrations tested enhance colony formation by mouse bone marrow cells. MGF effects on BFU-E, CFU-GM, and CFU-GEMM may be direct acting ones as MGF-enhanced colony formation by these cells in highly enriched progenitor cell populations of CD34 HLA-DR+ and CD34 HLA-DR+CD33- sorted cells in which greater than or equal to 1 of 2 cells was a BFU-E plus CFU-GM plus CFU-GEMM. MGF appears to be an early acting cytokine that preferentially stimulates the growth of immature hematopoietic progenitor cells.

We investigated the effects of stem cell factor (SCF) on the migration of murine bone marrow hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPC) in vitro using a modification of the checkerboard assay. Chemotactic and chemokinetic activities of SCF on HPC were evaluated by the numbers of HPC migrated on positive and negative gradients of SCF, respectively. On both positive and negative gradients of SCF, HPC began to migrate after 4 hours incubation, and their numbers then increased time- dependently. These results indicated that SCF functions as a chemotactic and chemokinetic agent for HPC. Analysis of types of colonies derived from the migrated HPC showed that SCF had chemotactic and chemokinetic effects on all types of HPC. When migrating activities of other cytokines were examined, interleukin (IL)-3 and IL-11 also affected the migration of HPC, but the degrees of each effect were lower than that of SCF. The results of the present study demonstrated that SCF is one of the most potent chemotactic and chemokinetic factors for HPC and suggest that SCF may play an important role in the flow of HPC into bone marrow where stromal cells constitutively produce SCF.

To assess the effects of interferon gamma (IFN-gamma) on very primitive hematopoietic progenitor cells, CD34(2+)CD38- human bone marrow cells were isolated and cultured in a two-stage culture system, consisting of a primary liquid culture phase followed by a secondary semisolid colony assay. CD34(2+)CD38- cells needed at least the presence of interleukin 3 (IL-3) and kit ligand (KL) together with either IL-1, IL-6, or granulocyte-colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) in the primary liquid phase in order to proliferate and differentiate into secondary colony-forming cells (CFC). Addition of IFN-gamma to the primary liquid cultures inhibited cell proliferation and generation of secondary CFC in a dose-dependent way. This was a direct effect since it was also seen in primary single cell cultures of CD34(2+)CD38- cells. The proliferation of more mature CD34+CD38+ cells, however, was not inhibited by IFN-gamma, demonstrating for the first time that IFN-gamma is a specific and direct hematopoietic stem cell inhibitor. IFN-gamma, moreover, preserves the viability of CD34(2+)CD38- cells in the absence of other cytokines. IFN-gamma could, therefore, play a role in the protection of the stem cell compartment from exhaustion in situations of hematopoietic stress and may be useful as stem cell protecting agent against chemotherapy for cancer.

Abstract In vitro proliferation of hematopoietic stem cells requires costimulation by multiple regulatory factors whereas expansion of lineage-committed progenitor cells generated by stem cells usually requires only a single factor. The distinct requirement of factors for proliferation coincides with the differential temporal expression of the subunits of cytokine receptors during early stem cell differentiation. In this study, we explored the underlying mechanism of the requirement of costimulation in a hematopoietic progenitor cell line TF-1. We found that granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) optimally activated proliferation of TF-1 cells regardless of the presence or absence of stem cell factor (SCF). However, interleukin-5 (IL-5) alone sustained survival of TF-1 cells and required costimulation of SCF for optimal proliferation. The synergistic effect of SCF was partly due to its anti-apoptosis activity. Overexpression of the IL-5 receptor  subunit (IL5R) in TF-1 cells by genetic selection or retroviral infection also resumed optimal proliferation due to correction of the defect in apoptosis suppression. Exogenous expression of an oncogenic anti-apoptosis protein, Bcl-2, conferred on TF-1 cells an IL-5–dependent phenotype. In summary, our data suggested SCF costimulation is only necessary when the expression level of IL5R is low and apoptosis suppression is defective in the signal transduction of IL-5. Expression of Bcl-2 proteins released the growth restriction of the progenitor cells and may be implicated in leukemia formation.
