High marrow seeding efficiency of human lymphomyeloid repopulating cells in irradiated NOD/SCID mice.

چکیده
Transplantable human hematopoietic stem cells (competitive repopulating units [CRU]) can be quantitated based on their ability to produce large populations of lymphoid and myeloid progeny within 6 weeks in the marrow of intravenously injected, sublethally irradiated NOD/SCID mice. It is shown that the proportions of total injected human fetal liver and cord blood CRU in the marrow of mice 24 hours after transplantation are 5% and 7%, respectively, as determined by limiting-dilution assays in other primary and secondary NOD/SCID mice. The similarity in these 2 seeding efficiency values suggests that mechanisms regulating the ability of human hematopoietic stem cells to enter the marrow from the blood, at least in this xenotransplant model, do not change between fetal life and birth. In addition, it appears that previously reported human stem cell frequencies and their in vivo self-renewal activity measured in NOD/SCID mice have been markedly underestimated.

Nonobese diabetic/severe combined immune deficiency (NOD/SCID) mouse repopulating cells (SRC) have been proposed to represent a more primitive human stem cell subset than the cobblestone area-forming cell (CAFC) week (wk) 6 or the long-term culture-initiating cell (LTC-IC) wk 5 on the basis of their difference in frequency, phenotype, transfectibility, and multilineage outgrowth potential in im...
متن کاملHigh efficiency gene transfer to human hematopoietic SCID-repopulating cells under serum-free conditions.
Stable gene transfer to human pluripotent hematopoietic stem cells (PHSCs) is an attractive strategy for the curative treatment of many genetic hematologic disorders. In clinical trials, the levels of gene transfer to this cell population have generally been low, reflecting deficiencies in both the vector systems and transduction conditions. In this study, we have used a pseudotyped murine retr...
متن کاملEngraftment and development of human CD34(+)-enriched cells from umbilical cord blood in NOD/LtSz-scid/scid mice.
Understanding the repopulating characteristics of human hematopoietic stem/progenitor cell fractions is crucial for predicting their performance after transplant into high-risk patients following high-dose therapy. We report that human umbilical cord blood cells, 78% to 100% of which express the hematopoietic progenitor cell surface marker CD34, can consistently engraft, develop, and proliferat...

Humanized bone-marrow xenograft models that can monitor the long-term impact of gene-therapy strategies will help facilitate evaluation of clinical utility. The ability of the murine bone-marrow microenvironment in NOD/SCID versus NOD/SCID/γ chain(null) mice to support long-term engraftment of MGMT(P140K)-transduced human-hematopoietic cells following alkylator-mediated in vivo selection was in...
متن کاملTransduction of human NOD/SCID-repopulating cells with both lymphoid and myeloid potential by foamy virus vectors.
The efficiency of gene transfer into human hematopoietic stem cells by oncoretroviral vectors is too low for effective gene therapy of most hematologic diseases. Retroviral vectors based on the nonpathogenic foamy viruses (FV) are an alternative gene-transfer system. In this study, human umbilical cord blood CD34(+) cells were transduced with FV vectors by a single 10-h exposure to vector stock...
