Summary

In vitro methylcellulose cultures of bovine bone marrow progenitor cells were developed. An existing technique described for bovine species was compared to a method for human tissue and further adapted during subsequent experiments. Bovine bone marrow samples were collected at the slaughterhouse, and mononuclear cells were separated by gradient centrifugation (1.077 g/ml specific density and 400g). The use of 3% bovine leucocyte‐conditioned medium, produced by stimulation of blood lymphocytes with 4 pg/ml concanavalin A and harvested on day 4 of culture, gave better results than the use of supernatant of the human bladder carcinoma 5637, which is widely used in human bone marrow cultures. However, bovine leucocyte‐conditioned medium was not added to erythroid cultures because inhibitory effects were observed. Erythroid colonies were stimulated with erythropoietin, and hemin was added to enable microscopic identification. Reduced oxygen tension was necessary to induce growth of erythroid colonies. This was not necessary for myeloid cultures. In conclusion, the results of this study show that the growth of myeloid and erythroid colonies in methylcellulose‐based medium requires different culture conditions, which are different from the culture conditions for human cells.  相似文献

Bovine bone marrow granulocyte/macrophage colonies were cultured in vitro in methyl cellulose and in plasma clots using bovine endotoxin-stimulated serum as a source of colony stimulating activity. The endotoxin-stimulated serum was four times as potent as the control serum in the methyl cellulose cultures. No significant increase in the number of colony forming units was observed when bovine marrow cells were maintained in suspension cultures for various periods prior to plating in methyl cellulose. The percentage of glass/plastic adherent cells in bovine marrow cells was observed to be 43% +/- 12 (SD). Benzidine positive erythroid colonies appeared in plasma clot cultures on day 4 and disappeared by day 9. No second population of erythroid colonies appeared either as a function of time or as a function of erythropoietin concentration. The optimum erythropoietin concentration for bovine erythroid cultures was found to be 1.0 unit/mL. A significant difference was observed between animals in their marrow capacity to produce erythroid colonies in culture but no significant difference was observed within individual animals over a period of three months.  相似文献

Changes in the number, maturity and function of neutrophils, concomitant changes in plasma concentrations of hormones and metabolites, and the increased susceptibility of cows to infectious diseases around parturition, led us to investigate the effect of beta-hydroxybutyric acid (BHBA), acetoacetic acid (AcAc), hydrocortisone-21-acetate (HCAc) and bovine pregnancy-associated glycoprotein (bPAG) on the proliferation of bovine bone marrow progenitor cells in methylcellulose in vitro cultures. Myeloid progenitors were stimulated with concanavalin A-stimulated leukocyte conditioned medium (LCM) and erythroid progenitors with erythropoietin in the presence of hemin. Erythroid and myeloid colonies were scored after five and seven days, respectively. BHBA and AcAc induced inhibitory effects on the proliferation of bovine bone marrow cells at concentrations of 1.0, 2.5, and 5.0 mM. HCAc significantly inhibited growth of progenitors at concentrations of 10, 20, 50, and 100 ng/ml, and bPAG at concentrations of 2400 and 3000 ng/ml. The results of this study suggest that in the cow high concentrations of BHBA, AcAc, HCAc and bPAG, which can be reached in the circulation around calving, could alter the number of circulating neutrophils after parturition. This phenomenon might contribute to the increased susceptibility of dairy cows to environmental mastitis.  相似文献

A commercial methylcellulose culture medium, with and without the addition of recombinant bovine granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (rbG-CSF), was utilized for culturing bovine bone marrow cells in a colony-forming unit assay. Bone marrow mononuclear cells were isolated and cultured in a commercial methylcellulose-based medium containing several recombinant human cytokines. Cultures were prepared with and without 100 ng/mL of rbG-CSF. The size and mean number of colonies per plate from culture days 3 to 9 were compared. We concluded that bovine bone marrow colony growth was supported by this culture medium. The addition of rbG-CSF yielded larger and more numerous colonies. There were significantly more colonies on day 3 (P < 0.001), day 4 (P < 0.001), and day 5 (P = 0.03) with rbG-CSF. Both culture media had the highest colony counts on day 5.  相似文献

Serum from dogs with surgically induced renal impairment was incorporated into the medium for erythroid bone marrow cultures. A significant correlation was found between serum activities of erythropoietin and numbers of erythroid colony-forming units grown in culture. Serum creatinine concentrations had no correlation, and serum parathyroid hormone activities had a negative correlation with numbers of erythroid colony-forming units that was below the level of significance. Purified 1-84 parathyroid hormone added to bone marrow cultures was found to be stimulatory to erythroid colony-forming unit growth in higher concentrations, but decreased the number of burst-forming units. Unmeasured substances in the canine serum appeared to have a greater effect on the canine erythroid bone marrow cultures than did creatinine or parathyroid hormone values.  相似文献

A prerequisite for studies on bovine myeloid cells in relation to maturity is a reliable separation method, in order to obtain enriched and partially purified cell fractions of different maturation stages. Since current techniques for bovine bone marrow cell isolation fall short of this requirement, a technique for fractionating bovine bone marrow using a three-layer discontinuous Percoll gradient was developed. Three maturation-dependent myeloid cell fractions were obtained at specific densities, as maturation of cells is accompanied with a progressive density increase. Early immature myeloid cells, i.e. myeloblasts and promyelocytes, were found at a density of 1.060g/ml. Late immature myeloid cells, i.e. myelocytes and metamyelocytes, were retrieved at 1.080g/ml. Bands and segmented cells, representing the mature fraction, accumulated in the high-density pellet (>1.080g/ml). Myeloid cell populations were identified in each fraction by flow cytometry based on their forward and side scatter pattern. Confirmation was provided by light microscopy of flow cytometrically sorted myeloid populations, using morphological characteristics. The developed method provides a unique tool for studying maturation-dependent functions in bovine bone marrow.  相似文献

Calf bone marrow cells cultured in a semi-solid medium of 0.8% methyl cellulose produced colonies of granulocytic cells and macrophages by seven days. A prerequisite for colony growth was the presence of serum obtained from a calf three hours after intravenous injection of endotoxin. Three morphological types of colonies were seen but cell types within these types of colonies did not differ. Cultured cells were identified by morphological and cytochemical characteristics.

Optimum growth occurred when serum from endotoxin stimulated calves and fetal calf serum were present in a volumetric ratio of 7:3. Inhibition of colony growth occurred when endotoxin-stimulated serum was present at greater than optimum concentration. Normal calf serum, fetal calf serum, mouse L-cell conditioned medium and bovine urine did not stimulate significant colony growth when 8.0 x 104 marrow cells were cultured.

There was a linear relationhip between the number of marrow cells in the cultures and the number of colonies produced. Colony forming efficiency ranged from 13 to 59 colonies per 105 cells plated.

The behaviour of calf colony forming units in suspension culture was similar to that reported for mouse colony forming units.

Techniques for the development of ovine bone marrow-derived haemopoietic progenitor cells and in situ identification of colony morphology are described. Both mitogen stimulated lymphoid cells and antigen stimulated helper T-cells generated potent colony-stimulating activity in conditioned medium. Monocyte/macrophage, neutrophil, eosinophil, basophil/mast cell, neutrophil/monocyte and mixed phenotype colonies developed in stimulated bone marrow cultures in a conditioned medium dose-dependent manner. Neutrophil, monocyte/macrophage and eosinophil colonies were detected in greater numbers than the other types, with mixed colonies representing only around 1% of the total. Eosinophil colonies were particularly abundant when compared to published reports of the numbers obtained with similar cultures of 'normal' mouse or human bone marrow cells. This culture technique will allow a detailed analysis of both ovine colony-stimulating factors and of the distribution of haemopoietic progenitor cells in vivo.  相似文献

Monoclonal antibodies against bovine leucocyte cell surface differentiation antigens were used in combination with a fluorescence activated cell sorter to enrich bovine haemopoietic progenitor cells present in bone marrow cell populations prior to in vitro culture. After two sequential centrifugations of the bone marrow cell suspension through Ficoll-Paque, the interface fraction was stained with a cocktail of monoclonal antibodies directed against mature monocytes/macrophages, granulocytes and lymphocytes. Using appropriate electronic window settings on a FACStar Plus, cells with a high 90 degrees light scattering property (granular cells), a low forward light scattering property (erythrocytes and reticulocytes) and cells positive for monoclonal antibodies specific for lineage-restricted leucocyte markers were removed and the negative cell fraction collected. These negatively-selected cells were stained with monoclonal antibodies specific for a pan-leucocyte or a MHC class II marker and the positive cell population was collected in a second sort and subsequently submitted to culture. All erythroid and granulocyte/macrophage colony forming cells expressed MHC class II antigens, as well as the pan-leucocyte antigen. These same progenitors did not bind any of a variety of monoclonal antibodies directed against lineage-specific antigens on lymphocytes, granulocytes or monocytes/macrophages, although they did bind monoclonal antibodies recognizing MHC class I antigens. Between 85% and 91% of the isolated cells seeded were capable of forming erythroid or granulocyte/macrophage colonies within 5 to 10 days, thus increasing the plating efficiency of these cell types in bone marrow populations by at least 60 fold.  相似文献

Bovine erythrocytic colonies containing up to 300 cells each were produced by using a plasma clot technique with five percent CO2 at 37 degrees C. with high humidity and 2.5 units of sheep step III erythropoietin per milliliter. Erythropoietin was essential for colony formation. The number of colonies ranged from 24 to 823 per 10(5) nucleated marrow cells plated, in different animals. Some of the erythroid colonies were mixed with granulocytes. Granulocyte/macrophage colonies were produced in methyl cellulose cultures. Colonies contained up to 1000 cells and the number of colonies ranged from 13 to 981 per 10(5) nucleated marrow cells plated, from different animals. Glass adherent cells appeared to produce colony stimulating activity in culture. In both culture systems, there was a direct linear relationship between the number of nucleated marrow cells plated and the number of colonies produced.  相似文献

With the intention of using the pig as a large animal model in haematopoietic research, a clonal assay in methylcellulose was developed and the optimal conditions for raising erythroid progenitors from adult pig bone marrow (BM) and peripheral blood (PB) have been established. Progenitor cells were stimulated to proliferate and differentiate in vitro by growth factors containing leucocyte condition medium (LCM), and with recombinant human erythropoietin (rhEpo). The number of PB BFU-E (burst forming units - erythroid) directly depended on the concentration of LCM, but BM BFU-E were not dependent on LCM. Both CFU-E (colony forming units - erythroid) and BFU-E were rhEpo dependent. Despite relatively high but expected individual variations, the mean number of colonies, as well as the functional characteristics of progenitor cells investigated, were similar to those of miniature pigs and some other mammals.  相似文献

A variety of in vitro cloning assays have been used for studying hematopoiesis in mice and human beings. However, these techniques have had limited use in dogs, a species used extensively as a model for hematopoietic research, particularly hematotoxicity. We have adopted cloning assays for in vitro growth of canine colony-forming unit-erythroid (CFU-E) and colony-forming unit-granulocyte/macrophage (CFU-GM) progenitor cells, using modified microplasma clot and soft agar culture systems, respectively. Marrow mononuclear cells separated by density-gradient centrifugation were added to the aforementioned culture systems. Erythroid colonies were stimulated with sheep plasma erythropoietin and incubated at 37 C in 5% CO2 for 2 days. The CFU-E colonies were fixed with 5% glutaraldehyde, stained with benzidine, counted, and expressed as a mean of 8 replicates. The CFU-GM colonies were stimulated with pooled serum from endotoxin-treated dogs and incubated for 8 days at 37 C in 10% CO2. Using an inverted microscope, the CFU-GM colonies were counted and expressed as a mean of 6 replicates. The number of colonies was proportional to the plated cell concentrations. The addition of 10% autologous serum to CFU-GM cultures increased the number of colonies by 80 to 100%, but markedly reduced the size and number of CFU-E colonies. The marrow cloning capacity among dogs of comparable age was similar, and little variation was noticed when bone marrow cells from the same dogs were cultured repeatedly over a period of 3 to 4 months. We concluded that these cloning assays are fast, reliable, and reproducible and that they allow quantitative determination of canine hematopoietic progenitor cells.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

Long-term culture of bone marrow derived stromal colony forming cells (S-CFC) in matrix and nutrient defined agar medium resulted in stromal cell colonies that pass sequentially through three distinct morphological stages: firstly, aggregated loose syncytium of round to ovoid cells (stage I), a second developmental stage of large branching colonies in which the cells become enlarged, elongated with cytoplasmic projections forming a loosely anastomized network with adjacent cells (stage II), and finally cells become dissociated, loosing their long, thin cytoplasmic filaments and breaking their contacts with one another, but remain large and retain a bi-polar nature (stage III). Cells were also grown in liquid medium in a culture microenvironment closely resembling conditions of haemopoiesis in vitro. Using a panel of well defined monoclonal antibodies reactive against the rat, rabbit and human growth hormone receptors, this study found immunochemical evidence of the presence and localization of binding sites of growth hormone (GH) in the cell membrane and extra-nuclear Golgi area of long-term bone marrow derived human stromal cells in liquid and semi-solid nutrient agar mediums. GH-receptor immunoreactivity was present in small proliferating progenitor cells, myofibroblast-like cells, large reticular fibroblast cells, adipocytes and endothelial cells. Only MAb known to be reactive against human tissue resulted in strong immunoreactivity. The expression of GH-receptors not only on small proliferating, but also on the well differentiated cells, indicates a role for growth hormone on non-progenitor cells. GH-receptor immunoreactivity on differentiating and/or differentiated cells suggests that GH is also necessary for, or has a trophic function in differentiation. We propose that direct GH action is necessary not only for differentiation of progenitor cells as implied by the dual effector hypothesis, but also their subsequent clonal expansion, differentiation and maintenance.  相似文献

Evaluation of erythropoietic regeneration in horses is difficult unless serial bone marrow aspirates are performed. To investigate the acute and chronic erythropoietic regenerative response of equine bone marrow following acute removal or loss of blood, sequential bone marrow aspirates over 4 weeks were taken from the sternum of five horses from which 20 ml kg(-1)of blood had been removed. We found that the total number of erythroid cells counted (expressed as a percentage of the total number of erythroid and myeloid cells counted) expanded initially by 13.7 per cent within 3 days after blood removal, the erythroid response peaking by 9 days with a further 13.5 per cent increase. This peak coincided with the lowest M:E ratio. Concomitantly, a shift from proliferative phase cells to maturing phase cells occurred, which appeared to persist beyond 31 days post collection. Thus, we found that the equine bone marrow mounted a regenerative erythropoietic response more slowly than previously determined and, also, regeneration of the erythroid compartment was incomplete 31 days after blood removal of this magnitude.  相似文献

Conditioned medium prepared from the mouse fibroblast cell line L 929 which is known to produce colony-stimulating factor active on mouse bone marrow cells was also able to stimulate the growth of swine bone marrow cells in a liquid culture system. During the first 4 days of culture mononuclear phagocyte and granulocyte colonies developed. Prolonged cultured cells were classified belonging to the macrophage lineage by morphological and cytochemical criteria. These cells fulfill also functional characteristics for macrophages, like expression of Fc receptors, immune phagocytosis and production of prostaglandins. These bone marrow-derived macrophages could also be activated with LPS and lymphocyte-derived mediators.  相似文献

A continuous long-term liquid culture in both a micro and macro system that incorporates bone marrow cells from normal and cyclic hematopoietic dogs is described. An adherent layer composed of fibroblasts, endothelial cells, mononuclear phagocytic cells, and fat-containing cells is essential for continuous hematopoiesis. Hematopoiesis was measured by the recovery of the nonadherent cells and the generation of committed granulocyte-monocyte progenitor cells for a period of seven weeks. Optimum growth factors include the use of horse serum, fetal bovine serum, dog serum, hydrocortisone, a 33 degrees C incubation temperature and feeding twice a week. As is true for both human and murine marrow liquid cultures, horse serum and hydrocortisone are essential for development and maintenance of fat-containing cells in the described systems. Both factors are important in hematopoiesis but their respective roles have not been defined. Normal and cyclic hematopoietic dogs bone marrow cells are comparable in their ability to establish long-term cultures. The micro-method (Linbro-well culture) gave similar results in maintaining hematopoiesis as did a macromethod (flask culture).  相似文献

Abstract: Three flow cytometric techniques were evaluated for determination of differential cell counts on canine clinical bone marrow specimens. Techniques included staining bone marrow specimens with 2'7'-dichlo-rofluorescein (DCF) or 3,3'-dihexyloxacarbocyanine iodide (DiOC6) and evaluation of forward-angle light scatter vs. side-angle light scatter plots. Flow cytometric evaluation of bone marrow cells stained with DCF failed to separate bone marrow cells into distinct cell populations. Staining with DiOC6 resulted in separation of bone marrow cells into populations of mature and immature erythroid cells, mature and immature myeloid cells, and lymphocytes. The scatter plot method resulted in identification of mature and immature erythroid cells, immature myeloid cells, metamyelocytes, and bands and segmenters. Lymphocytes could not be differentiated from mature erythroid cells by the scatter plot method. When the results of the DiOC6 method and the scatter plot method were compared with manual bone marrow differential cell counts, the scatter plot method had more similar mean values and higher correlation coefficients. The scatter plot method has the potential of providing rapid semiquantitative assessment of bone marrow differential cell counts in dogs for specimens that contain low numbers of lymphocytes.  相似文献

Three major subpopulations of ovine bone marrow cells were identified by flow cytometry on the basis of differences in forward (FSC) versus right angle (SSC) light scattering properties and binding of monoclonal antibodies. Region 1 (low FSC, low SSC) contained erythroid series cells and some small lymphocytes. Region 2 (high FSC, low SSC) contained monocytes, myeloid blast cells, medium-large lymphocytes and virtually all of the progenitor/stem cells capable of forming colonies in soft agar cultures. Region 3 (high SSC) contained granulocytes at various stages of development, predominantly (greater than 90%) neutrophils and eosinophils. Using this technique it was possible to identify several cell-surface antigens on bone marrow cells of different lineages using specific monoclonal antibodies and lectins. Amongst the haemopoietic stem/progenitor cell population, immature colony-forming cells were leucocyte common antigen (LCA) negative while more mature colony-forming cells expressed LCA. A proportion of progenitor cells were MHC class I positive. This analysis is an important first step in characterising ovine haemopoietic cells for future studies on: the development of inflammatory cells, the migration of stem/progenitor cells in vivo and the tropism of pathogens.  相似文献

Bone marrow samples were collected from the ribs of 20 healthy adult male Iranian camels (Camelus dromedarius). The bone marrow smears were stained using Wright's stain. Blood samples were collected at the same time for routine haematological examination. The development and morphology of the blood cells in the bone marrow of the camels were similar to those of other domestic species. The mean myeloid/erythroid ratio was 1.21, the mean erythroid percentage was 42.7% and the mean myeloid percentage was 52.0%. The mean percentage of other cells was 5.3%. The mean percentage of eosinophils in the myeloid series was higher than in other domestic species. Iron stores, estimated from Perl's stain, ranged from scant (1+) to moderate (3+) but most samples had 2+ iron content. All peripheral blood results were within reference ranges.  相似文献

Dogs were classified into a number of disease categories according to hematological, cytological and serochemical changes. Aspiration and core bone marrow biopsies were examined in 128 dogs in the various disease categories and compared to marrow samples in 36 dogs which appeared clinically normal. Differential cell counts on bone marrow smears were examined in relation to the blood variables in all animals. Blood and bone marrow data (group means) were compared among the normal and disease groups. Anemia, responsive and poorly responsive was the most frequent blood abnormality. Most dogs in the thrombocytopenia group had increased numbers of megakaryocytes in the marrow but two dogs had a marked decrease. The frequency of serious alteration of marrow production of the erythroid, myeloid and megakaryocytic series was less than anticipated. Marrow hemopoiesis was not significantly compromised in dogs with lymphoma or in dogs with other types of cancer. Bone marrow examination was necessary for the diagnosis of myelofibrosis and pancytopenia and was very helpful in the groups with insufficient change in the blood to permit a definitive diagnosis to be made. The myeloid-erythroid ratio was a useful indicator of marrow response while the erythroid maturation index and the myeloid maturation index were useful for identification of altered patterns of maturation (ineffective hemopoiesis). The reticulocyte response in absolute numbers is the most efficient and clinically relevant measure of erythroid response.  相似文献
