چکیده

A long-term bone marrow culture system has been derived for maintenance and proliferation of human hemopoietic stem cells and granulocytes in vitro for up to 20 wk. The granulocytes generated in these cultures at 8 wk were comparable to fresh human peripheral blood granulocytes in physiologic properties, including phagocytosis, degranulation, respiratory burst, and bacterial killing: individual granulocytes generated up to 20 wk in several cultures demonstrated normal superoxide-generating capacity by NBT dye reduction slide test. Thus, human granulocytes generated in continuous marrow culture retain many biologic functions associated with bacterocidal capacity in vivo and indicate that this system should be of value in studies of disorders of granulocyte differentiation.

Chronic granulomatous disease. Expression of the metabolic defect by in vitro culture of bone marrow progenitors.

Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD), an often fatal syndrome of recurrent infections results from the inability of patients' peripheral blood phagocytic leukocytes to generate superoxide despite otherwise normal phagocytic functions such as ingestion and degranulation. Circulating granulocytes and monocytes are the progeny of bone marrow progenitor cells, colony-forming units in culture. We com...

Regulation of bone marrow cell growth in diffusion chambers: the effect of adding normal and leukemic (CML) polymorphonuclear granulocytes.

Inhibition of granulopoiesis was studied using the diffusion chamber (DC) technique. When mature granulocytes from human blood or syngeneic mouse peritoneal fluid were added to mouse bone marrow cells cultured in DC, a significant depression of granulopoiesis took place, and a stimulation of macrophage formation was observed in 7-day cultures. Human granulocytes had a stronger inhinitory capaci...

Growth of human bone marrow in liquid culture.

A system for the cultivation of normal and malignant human bone marrow cells in liquid medium is described. The apparatus used is an in vitro diffusion chamber in which cells grow in suspension and upon a dialysis membrane. Proliferation and maturation of normal granulocytes and macrophages were sustained in culture for several weeks in the absence of exogenous stimulating substances. Cell repl...

In vitro induction of myeloid proliferation and maturation in infantile genetic agranulocytosis.

A 3#{189}-yr-old boy with infantile genetic agranulocytosis (IGA) has had recurrent infections since the age of 3 mo. Characteristically he shows permanent, almost complete neutropenia with relative monocytosis in the peripheral blood, together with a bone marrow rich in proliferative myeloid cells, but lacking in mature ones. Results of in vitro cloning of the patient’s bone marrow cells in so...

Matrigel Enhances in vitro Bone Differentiation of Human Marrow-derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells

Objective(s) The use of co-culture cells as well as extra cellular matrix are among those strategies that have been employed to direct mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) bone differentiation in culture. In this regard, there is no study considering the effects of Matrigel on mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) in vitro bone differentiation. This was the subject of the present study. Materials and Methods ...
