چکیده

Peripheral blood progenitor cells (PBPC) are increasingly being used in the clinic as a replacement for bone marrow (BM) in the transplantation setting. We investigated the capacity of several different growth factors, including human flt3 ligand (FL), alone and in combination with granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF ) or granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF ), to mobilize colony forming cells (CFU) into the peripheral blood (PB) of mice. Mice were injected subcutaneously (SC) with growth factors daily for up to 10 days. Comparing the single agents, we found that FL alone was superior to GM-CSF or G-CSF in mobilizing CFU into the PB. FL synergized with both GM-CSF or G-CSF to mobilize more CFU, and in a shorter period of time, than did any single agent. Administration of FL plus G-CSF for 6 days resulted in a 1,423-fold and 2,717-fold increase of colony-forming unit-granulocyte-macrophage (CFU-GM) and colony-forming unit granulocyte, erythroid, monocyte, megakaryocyte (CFU-GEMM) in PB, respectively, when compared with control mice. We also followed the kinetics of CFU numerical changes in the BM of mice treated with growth factors. While GM-CSF and G-CSF alone had little effect on BM CFU over time, FL alone increased CFU-GM and CFU-GEMM threefold and fivefold, respectively. Addition of GM-CSF or G-CSF to FL did not increase CFU in BM over levels seen with FL alone. However, after the initial increase in BM CFU after FL plus G-CSF treatment for 3 days, BM CFU returned to control levels after 5 days treatment, and CFU-GM were significantly reduced (65%) after 7 days treatment, when compared with control mice. Finally, we found that transplantation of FL or FL plus G-CSF-mobilized PB cells protected lethally irradiated mice and resulted in long-term multilineage hematopoietic reconstitution.

Advances in Hematopoietic Stem Cell Mobilization and Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplantation

Hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) which give rise to different blood cell types are present within the bone marrow microenvironment, especially in flat bones such as skull, vertebrae, pelvis and chest. Interacting factors such as stromal derived factor-1/CXCR4, very late antigen-4/vascular cell adhesion molecule-1, Lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1/ intercellular adhesion molec...

The granulocyte colony-stimulating factor receptor is required for the mobilization of murine hematopoietic progenitors into peripheral blood by cyclophosphamide or interleukin-8 but not flt-3 ligand.

Hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPC) can be mobilized from the bone marrow into the peripheral circulation in response to a number of stimuli including hematopoietic growth factors, cytotoxic agents, and certain chemokines. Despite significant differences in their biological activities, these stimuli result in the mobilization of HPC with a similar phenotype, suggesting that a common mechanism ...

Recombinant Rat Stem Cell Factor Synergizes With Recombinant Human Granulocyte Colony-Stimulating Factor In Vivo in Mice to Mobilize Peripheral Blood Progenitor Cells That Have Enhanced Repopulating Potential

Splenectomized mice treated for 7 days with pegylated recombinant rat stem cell factor (rrSCF-PEG) showed a dosedependent increase in peripheral blood progenitor cells (PBPC) that have enhanced in vivo repopulating potential. A dose of rrSCF-PEG at 25 pg/kg/d for 7 days produced no significant increase in PBPC. However, when this dose of rrSCF-PEG was combined with an optimal dose of recombinan...

Flt-3 ligand synergizes with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor to increase neutrophil numbers and to mobilize peripheral blood stem cells with long-term repopulating potential.

Flt-3 ligand (FL) shares many features with stem cell factor (SCF), a widely documented cofactor for peripheral blood progenitor cell (PBPC) mobilization. We investigated the mobilization of PBPCs by FL in combination with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF). As a single agent, FL was a relatively modest mobilizer of PBPCs, resulting in 360 granulocyte/macrophage colony-forming cells ...

Effects of recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor on hematopoietic progenitor cells in cancer patients.

Hematopoietic progenitor cell levels were monitored in the peripheral blood and bone marrow of 30 cancer patients receiving recombinant human granulocyte-colony stimulating-factor (rG-CSF) in a phase I/II clinical trial. The absolute number of circulating progenitor cells of granulocyte-macrophage, erythroid, and megakaryocyte lineages showed a dose-related increase up to 100-fold after four da...
