Megakaryocytopoiesis and granulopoiesis of W/Wv mice studied in long-term bone marrow cultures.

چکیده
Megakaryocytopoiesis and granulopoiesis of marrow cells from W/Wv mice were studied using a continuous liquid marrow culture system. Cells in the suspension phase were assayed weekly over a 16-week period for total nucleated cells, megakaryocytes, granulocytes, megakaryocytes and granulocyte-macrophage progenitor cells (CFU-Ms, CFU-GMs), and spleen colony-forming cells (CFU-Ss). Without hydrocortisone supplementation, proliferation of megakaryocytes, granulocytes, and their progenitor cells was significantly less in W/Wv cultures than in +/+ cultures. These cells became undetectable in both W/Wv and +/+ cultures at seven to 11 weeks in culture, after which only monocytes and macrophages proliferated in the cultures. Treatment of cultures with hydrocortisone improved megakaryocytopoiesis and granulopoiesis in both W/Wv and +/+ cultures. Following an initial lag phase of three to four weeks, proliferation of megakaryocytes, granulocytes, and their progenitor cells in W/Wv cultures equalled that observed in +/+ cultures and was sustained for 16 to 24 weeks. This improvement was associated with a sustained reduction in monocytes and macrophages. Despite improvements in megakaryocytopoiesis and granulopoiesis, production of macroscopic and microscopic spleen colonies by cells from W/Wv cultures remained severely reduced or absent. Studies of DNA synthesis rates of fresh marrow cells indicated that significantly fewer CFU-Ms and CFU-GMs were in cycle in W/Wv mice compared with +/+ mice. However, in hydrocortisone-treated W/Wv cultures, DNA synthesis rates of CFU-Ms and CFU-GMs increased markedly and equalled those observed for +/+ cultures. These results suggest that the improvements in megakaryocytopoiesis and granulopoiesis in hydrocortisone-treated liquid cultures is associated with a reduction in monocytes and macrophages and that progenitor cells of W/Wv mice have a proliferative defect that is correctable by hydrocortisone treatment in vitro.

Megakaryocytopoiesis was evaluated in W/Wv mice and their normal +/+ littermates to analyze the mechanisms by which normal platelet production is maintained in W/Wv mice even though numbers of megakaryocytes are low. Relative sizes of megakaryocytes, and their nuclei and cytoplasm, were measured microscopically in bone marrow smears, and the ploidy of the same cells was measured by two-waveleng...

Production of tissue mast cells was evaluated in genetically anemic mice of W/Wv genotype and was found to be abnormal. In the skin of adult W/Wv mice the number of mast cells/cm was less than 1% of the number observed in the congeneic +/+ mice. No mast cells were detectable in other tissues of the W/Wv mice. After transplantation of bone marrow cells from +/+ mice the number of mast cells in t...
