Sorafenib has been used for the treatment of liver cancer. However, its clinical impact on human immunity system remains poorly known. Our previous study has shown that sorafenib modulates immunosuppressive cell populations in murine liver cancer models. Here, we continue to report that low doses of sorafenib promotes the survival of murine bone marrow cells (BMCs) in a dose-dependent manner by up-regulating the anti-apoptotic protein survivin. Sorafenib induces differentiation of BMCs into suppressive dendritic cells that inhibit autologous T-cell proliferation and stimulate CD4+ T cells to express increased IL-1β, IL-2, IL-4, IL-10, IFN-γ and TNF-α, and reduced levels of IL-6 and CD25, which indicates that sorafenib-induced dendritic cells represent a distinct cellular subset with unique properties. Taken together, our findings suggest that in addition to its anticancer effects, sorafenib has an immunoregulatory property that is apparent at low doses.

Murine bone marrow cells infected with replication-defective retroviruses containing v-raf alone or v-myc alone yielded transformed pre-B cell lines, while a retroviral construct containing both v-raf and v-myc oncogenes produced clonally related populations of mature B cells and mature macrophages. The genealogy of these transformants demonstrates that mature myeloid cells were derived from cells with apparent B-lineage commitment and functional immunoglobulin rearrangements. This system should facilitate studies of developmental relationships in hematopoietic differentiation and analysis of lineage determination.

Background: Possibility to control immune system by regulating the activity of Dendritic Cells (DC) with the help of vaccines or other immunobiological drugs opens great prospects for infectious, oncological and autoimmune control. The aim of this study was to evaluate in vitro the effect of adjuvant subunit and non-adjuvant split influenza vaccines on maturation of DCs from human bone marrow. Methods: From bone marrow cells of healthy volunteers, DCs were obtained using rGM-CSF and IL-4. On the 8th day of cultivation, 10μl of vaccines against influenza were introduced into the culture of Immature DCs (i-DCs): a non-adjuvant split vaccine (Vaxigripp, Sanofi Pasteur) and an immunoadjuvant subunit vaccine (Grippol plus, Petrovax), as well as immunomodulator Polyoxidonium. Results: Insertion of influenza vaccines into i-DC culture induced the acquisition by DCs typical morphological signs of maturation. DCs became large with eccentrically located of irregular shape nucleus, densified cytoplasm, numerous processes. By immunophenotypic examination decrease in monocyte/macrophage pool, cells with expression of CD34 immaturity marker, increase in expressing CD11c/CD86 costimulatory molecules and CD83 terminal differentiation molecules were observed. Although Polyoxidonium caused a decrease in number of CD11c/CD14 cells (18, 5%), but compared to vaccines, its activity was lower (p<0, 05). Grippol plus more actively induced differentiation of TLR2 and TLR8 expressing cells, whereas Vaxigripp-expression of TLR4 and TLR8 on DCs. Conclusion: The possibility of using in vitro model of DCs obtained from human bone marrow cells by cytokine stimulation for examination of the ability of influenza vaccines to induce DC maturation processes has been demonstrated.

Cellulose acetate membranes (CAM) placed in the peritoneal cavity of mice develop a macrophage layer capable of supporting in vivo hematopoietic colonies from intraperitoneally injected bone marrow cells. Modifications allowing for routine morphologic identification of colonies showed that both erythrocytic (E) and granulocytic (G) colonies occur with a consistent E:G ratio of 0.19 +/- 0.037. Stimulating recipients by bleeding or phenylhydrazine injection did not produce a significant change in the total number of colonies and a reduction in granulocytic colonies so that the E:G ratio significnatly increased. Hypertransfusion of donor animals had no effect on the number of erythroid colonies that grew on CAM of average recipients. The total colony-forming ability of bone marrow cells from genetically anemic W/WV mice was found not to differ from that of normal +/+ littermates; however, the E:G ratio of W/WV marrow in bled recipients was significantly lower (p less than 0.01) then that of +/+ marrow. These studies suggest that a CAM system supports an erythroid progenitor which is not affected by hypotransfusion of the donor animal, yet is dependent upon erythropoietin for colony formation, and that it is defective in the W/WV mouse.
