Erythroid Cell Growth From Normal and W / W ” Murine Bone Marrow on Macrophage - coated Membranes
نویسنده
چکیده
Cellulose acetate membranes (CAM) placed in the peritoneal cavity of mice develop a macrophage layer capable of supporting in vivo hematopoietic colonies from mntraperitoneally 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 phenylhydrazmne inlection did not produce a significant change in the total number of colonies, but led to an increase in erythroid colonies and a reduction in granulocytic colonies so that the E:G ratio significantly increased. Hypertransfusion of donor animals had no effect on the number of erythroid colonies that grew on CAM of anemic recipients. The total colonyforming ability of bone marrow cells from genetically anemic W/W mice was found not to differ from that of normal +/+ littermates; however, the E:G ratio of W/W marrow in bled recipients was significantly lower (p < 0.01) then that of +/+ marrow. These studies suggest that a CAM system supports an erythroid progenitor which is not affected by hypertransfusion of the donor animal, yet is dependent upon erythropoietin for colony formation, and that it is defective in the W/WV mouse.

متن کاملRegulation of hematopoiesis-IV: The role of interleukin-3 and bryostatin 1 in the growth of erythropoietic progenitors from normal and anemic W/Wv mice.
We and others have established a role for T lymphocytes and their products in the regulation of erythropoiesis. Interleukin-3 (IL-3) is a multipotential lymphokine with burst-promoting activity that is produced by activated T lymphocytes. In the anemic, stem cell-defective W/Wv mouse we have described the absence of a functionally active thymocyte population that in normal animals enhances eryt...
متن کاملInhibition of hemopoiesis in vitro by neuroblastoma-derived gangliosides.
Hemopoiesis is disturbed in bone marrow-involving cancers like leukemia and neuroblastoma. Shedding of gangliosides by tumor cells may contribute to this tumor-induced bone marrow suppression. We studied in vitro the inhibitory effects of murine neuroblastoma cells (Neuro-2a and C1300) and their gangliosides on hemopoiesis using normal murine hemopoietic progenitor colony-forming assays. Transw...
متن کاملTransforming growth factor beta 1 selectively regulates early murine hematopoietic progenitors and inhibits the growth of IL-3-dependent myeloid leukemia cell lines
Transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-beta 1) has been shown to be associated with active centers of hematopoiesis and lymphopoiesis in the developing fetus. Therefore, the effects of TGF-beta 1 on mouse hematopoiesis were studied. TGF-beta 1 is a potent inhibitor of IL-3-induced bone marrow proliferation, but it does not inhibit the proliferation induced by granulocyte/macrophage, colony-stim...
متن کاملT-cell growth factor P40 promotes the proliferation of myeloid cell lines and enhances erythroid burst formation by normal murine bone marrow cells in vitro.
T-cell growth factor P40 was examined for possible effects on murine interleukin-3 (IL-3)-dependent myeloid cell lines and freshly isolated murine bone marrow cells. The results showed that P40 stimulated the proliferation of some IL-3-dependent myeloid cell lines of both early myeloid and mast cell phenotype and synergized with IL-3. P40 did not promote proliferation of fresh bone marrow cells...
