Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting of hydrogels with a wide spectrum of compositions has been widely investigated. Despite such efforts, a comprehensive understanding of the correlation among the process science, buildability, and biophysical properties of the hydrogels for a targeted clinical application has not been developed in the scientific community. In particular, the quantitative analysis across the entire developmental path for 3D extrusion bioprinting of such scaffolds is not widely reported. In the present work, we addressed this gap by using widely investigated biomaterials, such as gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA), as a model system. Using extensive experiments and quantitative analysis, we analyzed how the individual components of methacrylated carboxymethyl cellulose (mCMC), needle-shaped nanohydroxyapatite (nHAp), and poly(ethylene glycol)diacrylate (PEGDA) with GelMA as baseline matrix of the multifunctional bioink can influence the biophysical properties, printability, and cellular functionality. The complex interplay among the biomaterial ink formulations, viscoelastic properties, and printability toward the large structure buildability (structurally stable cube scaffolds with 15 mm edge) has been explored. Intriguingly, the incorporation of PEGDA into the GelMA/mCMC matrix offered improved compressive modulus (∼40-fold), reduced swelling ratio (∼2-fold), and degradation rates (∼30-fold) compared to pristine GelMA. The correlation among microstructural pore architecture, biophysical properties, and cytocompatibility is also established for the biomaterial inks. These photopolymerizable bio(material)inks served as the platform for the growth and development of bone and cartilage matrix when human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) are either seeded on two-dimensional (2D) substrates or encapsulated on 3D scaffolds. Taken together, this present study unequivocally establishes a significant step forward in the development of a broad spectrum of shape-fidelity compliant bioink for the 3D bioprinting of multifunctional scaffolds and emphasizes the need for invoking more quantitative analysis in establishing process-microstructure-property correlation.

Abstract
A State of the Art lecture titled "Megakaryocytes and different thrombopoietic environments" was presented at the ISTH Congress in 2022. Circulating platelets are specialized cells produced by megakaryocytes. Leading studies point to the bone marrow niche as the core of hematopoietic stem cell differentiation, revealing interesting and complex environmental factors for consideration. Megakaryocytes take cues from the physiochemical bone marrow microenvironment, which includes cell-cell interactions, contact with extracellular matrix components, and flow generated by blood circulation in the sinusoidal lumen. Germinal and acquired mutations in hematopoietic stem cells may manifest in altered megakaryocyte maturation, proliferation, and platelet production. Diseased megakaryopoiesis may also cause modifications of the entire hematopoietic niche, highlighting the central role of megakaryocytes in the control of physiologic bone marrow homeostasis. Tissue-engineering approaches have been developed to translate knowledge from in vivo (inside) to functional mimics of native tissue ex vivo (outside). Reproducing the thrombopoietic environment is instrumental to gain new insight into its activity and answering the growing demand for human platelets for fundamental studies and clinical applications. In this review, we discuss the major achievements on this topic, and finally, we summarize relevant new data presented during the 2022 ISTH Congress that pave the road to the future of megakaryopoiesis.

Abstract
Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) rely on local interactions in the bone marrow (BM) microenvironment with stromal cells and other hematopoietic cells that facilitate their survival and proliferation, and also regulate their functions. HSCs and multipotent progenitor cells differentiate into lineage-specific progenitors that generate all blood and immune cells. Megakaryocytes (Mks) are hematopoietic cells responsible for producing blood platelets, which are essential for normal hemostasis and blood coagulation. Although the most prominent function of Mks is platelet production (thrombopoiesis), other increasingly recognized functions include HSC maintenance and host immune response. However, whether and how these diverse programs are executed by different Mk subpopulations remains poorly understood. This Perspective summarizes our current understanding of diversity in ontogeny, functions and cell-cell interactions. Cumulative evidence suggests that BM microenvironment dysfunction, partly caused by mutated Mks, can induce or alter the progression of a variety of hematologic malignancies, including myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) and other disorders associated with tissue scarring (fibrosis). Therefore, as an example of the heterogeneous functions of Mks in malignant hematopoiesis, we will discuss the role of Mks in the onset and progression of BM fibrosis. In this regard, abnormal interactions between of Mks and other immune cells might directly contribute to fibrotic diseases. Overall, further understanding of megakaryopoiesis and how Mks interact with HSCs and immune cells has potential clinical implications for stem cell transplantation and other therapies for hematologic malignancies, as well as for treatments to stimulate platelet production and prevent thrombocytopenia.

Abstract
Bone marrow stromal cells provide a proper environment for the development of hematologic lineages. The incorporation of different stromal cells to in vitro culture systems would be an attractive model to study megakaryopoiesis and thrombopoiesis. Our objective was to evaluate the participation of different types of stromal cells on in vitro megakaryopoiesis, thrombopoiesis and megakaryocyte (MK) survival. CD34-positive progenitors from umbilical cord blood were differentiated into MK precursors and then co-cultured with umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC), bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), skin fibroblasts (SF) (all human) or mouse fibroblast cell line (L929). The number of MKs (CD61-positive cells) was increased in the presence of HUVEC and SF while L929 cells decreased total and mature MK count. Concerning thrombopoiesis, HUVEC increased proplatelet (PP)-producing MKs, while MSCs, L929 and SF had the opposite effect (immunofluorescence staining and microscopic analysis). MK survival was enhanced in MSC and SF co-cultures, as assessed by evaluation of pyknotic nuclei. However, HUVEC and L929 did not prevent apoptosis of MKs. Reciprocally, the cloning efficiency of MSCs was decreased in the presence of MKs, while the ability of stromal cells (either MSCs or SF) to produce the extracellular matrix proteins type III collagen, fibronectin, dermatan sulfate, heparan sulfate and P4HB was preserved. These data indicate that each stromal cell type performs distinctive functions, which differentially modulate MK growth and platelet production, and, at the same time, that MKs also modify stromal cells behavior. Overall, our results highlight the relevance of considering the influence of stromal cells in MK research as well as the close interplay of different cell types within the bone marrow milieu.

Abstract
RUNX1 is a Runt family transcription factor that plays a critical role in normal hematopoiesis, including the differentiation and proliferation of hematopoietic cells. RUNX1 mutations, including chromosomal translocations, cause abnormal cell differentiation, but the mutation alone is not sufficient to cause leukemia. In MLL-fusion-induced leukemia, dysregulated wild-type RUNX1 can promote leukemia survival. Nevertheless, the underlying mechanisms of dysregulated wild-type RUNX1 in leukemia development have not been fully elucidated. This study overexpressed and knocked down RUNX1 expression in THP-1 human leukemia cells and CD34+ hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells to investigate the biological functions affected by dysregulated RUNX1. Our data indicated RUNX1 facilitated proliferation to promote leukemia cell growth. Furthermore, we demonstrated that RUNX1 knockdown in leukemia cells drastically diminished colony-forming ability. Finally, the RUNX1-knocked down cell depletion phenotype could be rescued by overexpression of CENPE, a cell proliferation gene and a RUNX1 direct target gene. Our results indicate a possible mechanism involving the RUNX1-CENPE axis on promoting leukemic cell growth.

Abstract
Purpose: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) release hematopoietic cytokines, growth factors, and Microvesicles (MVs) supporting the hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). MVs released from various cells, playing a crucial role in biological functions of their parental cells. MSC-derived MVs contain microRNAs and proteins with key roles in the regulation of hematopoiesis. Umbilical cord blood (UCB) is a source for transplantation but the long-term recovery of platelets is a main problem. Therefore, we intend to show that MSC-MVs are able to improve the differentiation of UCB-derived CD34+ cells to megakaryocyte lineage. Methods: In this descriptive study, MSCs were cultured in DMEM to collect the culture supernatant, which was ultracentrifuged for the isolation of MVs. HSCs were isolated from UCB using MACS method and cultured in IMDM supplemented with cytokines and MVs in three different conditions. Megakaryocyte differentiation was evaluated through the expression of specific markers and genes after 72 hours, and the data was analyzed by t test (P<0.05). Results: The expression of specific megakaryocyte markers (CD41 and CD61) in the presence of different concentrations of MSC-MVs did not show any significant difference. Also, the expression of specific genes of megakaryocyte lineage was compared with control group. The expression of GATA2 and c-Mpl was significantly increased, GATA1 was not significantly decreased, and FLI1 was significantly decreased. Conclusion: MSC-MVs could improve the expression of specific megakaryocyte genes; however, there was no significant expression of CD markers. Further studies, including the evaluation of late stages of megakaryocyte differentiation, are required to evaluate platelet production and shedding

Abstract
Bone marrow failure is the primary cause of death after nuclear accidents or intentional exposure to high or low doses of ionizing radiation. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is the most potent treatment procedure for patients suffering from several hematopoietic malignancies arising after radiation injuries. Successful hematopoietic recovery after transplantation depends on efficient homing and subsequent engraftment of hematopoietic stem cells in specific niches within the bone marrow. It is a rapid and coordinated process in which circulating cells actively enter the bone marrow through the process known as transvascular migration, which involves the tightly regulated relay of events that finally leads to homing of cells in the bone marrow. Various adhesion molecules, chemokines, glycoproteins, integrins, present both on the surface of stem cells and sinusoidal endothelium plays a critical role in transvascular migration. But despite having an in-depth knowledge of homing and engraftment and the key events that regulate it, we are still not completely able to avoid graft failures and post-transplant mortalities. This deems it necessary to design a flawless plan for successful transplantation. Here, in this review, we will discuss the current clinical methods used to overcome graft failures and their flaws. We will also discuss, what are the new approaches developed in the past 10-12 years to selectively deliver the hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow by adopting proper targeting strategies that can help revolutionize the field of regenerative and translational medicine.

Abstract
To evaluate the protective role of lycopene (LYC) against aflatoxin B1 (AFB1)-induced erythrocyte dysfunction and oxidative stress, male kunming mice were treated with LYC (5 mg/kg) and/or AFB1 (0.75 mg/kg) by intragastric administration for 30 d. Hematological indices were detected to assess erythrocyte function. The erythrocytes C3b receptor rate (E-C3bRR) and erythrocytes C3b immune complex rosette rate (E-ICRR) were detected to assess erythrocyte immune function. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and malondialdehyde (MDA) contents and superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) activities were determined to evaluate erythrocyte oxidative stress. The results showed that LYC administration significantly relieved AFB1-induced erythrocyte dysfunction by increasing the levels of red blood cell count (RBC), hemoglobin (HGB) and hematocrit (HCT), as well as reducing red blood cell volume distribution width (RDW) level, while the levels of mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) and mean platelet volume (MPV) had no significant differences among the four groups. Besides, LYC ameliorated AFB1-induced erythrocyte immune dysfunction by increasing E-C3bRR and decreasing E-ICRR. Furthermore, LYC also alleviated AFB1-induced erythrocyte oxidative stress by decreasing H2O2 and MDA contents and increasing SOD and CAT activities. These results indicated that LYC protected against AFB1-induced erythrocyte dysfunction and oxidative stress in mice. The findings could lead a possible therapeutics for the management of AFB1-induced erythrocyte toxicity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Developing a small animal model that accurately delineates the natural history of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and immunopathophysiology is necessary to clarify the mechanisms of host-virus interactions and to identify intervention strategies for HBV-related liver diseases. This study aimed to develop an HBV-induced chronic hepatitis and cirrhosis mouse model through transplantation of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs). DESIGN Transplantation of hBMSCs into Fah-/-Rag2-/-IL-2Rγc-/- SCID (FRGS) mice with fulminant hepatic failure (FHF) induced by hamster-anti-mouse CD95 antibody JO2 generated a liver and immune cell dual-humanised (hBMSC-FRGS) mouse. The generated hBMSC-FRGS mice were subjected to assessments of sustained viremia, specific immune and inflammatory responses and liver pathophysiological injury to characterise the progression of chronic hepatitis and cirrhosis after HBV infection. RESULTS The implantation of hBMSCs rescued FHF mice, as demonstrated by robust proliferation and transdifferentiation of functional human hepatocytes and multiple immune cell lineages, including B cells, T cells, natural killer cells, dendritic cells and macrophages. After HBV infection, the hBMSC-FRGS mice developed sustained viremia and specific immune and inflammatory responses and showed progression to chronic hepatitis and liver cirrhosis at a frequency of 55% after 54 weeks. CONCLUSION This new humanised mouse model recapitulates the liver cirrhosis induced by human HBV infection, thus providing research opportunities for understanding viral immune pathophysiology and testing antiviral therapies in vivo.

[PMID: 31319203 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2019.07.025] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/20/2019] [Revised: 07/02/2019] [Accepted: 07/12/2019] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
Presently donor-derived platelets used in the clinic are associated with concerns about adequate availability, expense, risk of bacterial contamination and complications due to immunological reaction. To prevail over our dependence on transfusion of donor-derived platelets, efforts are being made to generate them in vitro. Development of biomaterials that support or mimic bone marrow niche micro-environmental cues could improve the in vitro production of platelets from megakaryocytes (MKs) derived from various stem cell sources. In spite of significant advances in the production of MKs from various stem cell sources using 2D as well as 3D culture approaches in vitro and the development of biomaterials-based platelet systems, yield and quality of these platelets remains unsuitable for clinical use. Thus, in vitro production of clinically useful platelets on a large scale remains an unmet target to date. This review summarizes the most frequently used 2D and 3D approaches to generate MKs and platelets in vitro, emphasizing the importance of mimicking in vivo micro-environment. Further, this review proposes the use of interpenetrating network (IPN) biomaterial-based approach as a promising strategy for improving the generation of MK and platelets in sufficient numbers in vitro. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Thrombocytopenia is one of the major global health and socio-economic problems. Transfusion with donor-derived platelets (PLTs) is the only effective treatment for this condition. However, this approach is limited by factors like short shelf-life of PLTs, PLT activation, alloimmunization, risk of bacterial contamination, infection etc. In vitro generated MKs and PLTs derived from non-donor-dependent sources may help to overcome the platelet transfusion concerns. Here we have reviewed various 2D and 3D strategies used for in vitro generation of MKs and PLTs, with special emphasis on various biomaterial platforms and different physico/chemical cues being used for the purpose. We have also proposed a biomaterial-based approach of using interpenetrating network (IPN) for generating clinically relevant numbers of MKs and PLTs.

Abstract
The complex process of platelet formation originates with the hematopoietic stem cell, which differentiates through the myeloid lineage, matures, and releases proplatelets into the BM sinusoids. How formed platelets maintain a low basal activation state in the circulation remains unknown. We identify Lepr+ stromal cells lining the BM sinusoids as important contributors to sustaining low platelet activation. Ablation of murine Lepr+ cells led to a decreased number of platelets in the circulation with an increased activation state. We developed a potentially novel culture system for supporting platelet formation in vitro using a unique population of CD51+PDGFRα+ perivascular cells, derived from human umbilical cord tissue, which display numerous mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) properties. Megakaryocytes cocultured with MSCs had altered LAT and Rap1b gene expression, yielding platelets that are functional with low basal activation levels, a critical consideration for developing a transfusion product. Identification of a regulatory cell that maintains low baseline platelet activation during thrombopoiesis opens up new avenues for improving blood product production ex vivo.

Abstract
We studied the effect of mesenchymal stem cells and hemopoietic stem cells co-transplanted in different regimens (sequence and intervals between the injections within 0-48 h) on the rate of the bone marrow hemopoiesis recovery in 468 inbred mice with cytostatic aplasia caused by a single injection of cyclophosphamide in a dose of 500 mg/kg. The efficacy of stem cells was evaluated by animal survival and general physical condition, body weight dynamics, peripheral blood counts (leucocytes, platelets, and reticulocytes), total cellularity and the presence of hemopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow on day 9 after cyclophosphamide injection. The relative content of hemopoietic stem cells in the total myelokaryocyte pool was assessed by flow cytofluorometry using specific monoclonal antibodies to CD117 and CD184. The stimulating effect of co-transplantation of mesenchymal stem cells and hemopoietic stem cells on hemopoiesis was demonstrated by the indices of total cellularity and the relative content of CD117+ hemopoietic stem cells. The schemes with injection of mesenchymal stem cells 24-48 h prior to injection of hemopoietic stem cells were most effective.

Abstract
All cells encounter various signals coming from the surrounding environment and they need to receive and respond to these signals in order to perform their functions. Cell surface receptors are responsible for signal transduction .Platelets are blood cells which perform several functions using diverse receptors. Platelet concentrate is one of the most consumed blood products. However, due to the short lifespan of the platelets and platelets damage during storage, we face shortage of platelet products. One of the damages that platelets undergo during storage is the loss of surface receptors. Since cell surface receptors are responsible for all cell functions, the loss of platelet receptors reduces the quality of platelet products. In this study, we reviewed the important receptors involved in platelet activation and their associated signaling pathways. We also looked at the platelet receptors that shed during storage and the causes of this incident. We found that GPIbα, P-selectin, CD40 and GPVI are platelet receptors that fall during platelet storage at room temperature. Considering that GPVI and GPIbα are the most important receptors which involved in platelet activation, their shedding can cause decrease in platelet activation after transfusion and decrease thrombus consistence. Shear stress and platelet contact with the container wall are among the mechanisms discussed in this process, but studies in this area have to be continued.

Abstract
Splenic hematopoiesis is a major feature in the course of myelofibrosis (MF). In fact, the spleen of patients with MF contains malignant hematopoietic stem cells retaining a complete differentiation program, suggesting both a pivotal role of the spleen in maintaining the disease and a tight regulation of hematopoiesis by the splenic microenvironment, in particular by mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs). Little is known about splenic MSCs (Sp-MSCs), both in normal and in pathological context. In this work, we have in vitro expanded and characterized Sp-MSCs from 25 patients with MF and 13 healthy subjects (HS). They shared similar phenotype, growth kinetics, and differentiation capacity. However, MF Sp-MSCs expressed significant lower levels of nestin, and favored megakaryocyte (Mk) differentiation in vitro at a larger extent than their normal counterpart. Moreover, they showed a significant upregulation of matrix metalloprotease 2 (MMP2) and fibronectin 1 (FN1) genes both at mRNA expression and at protein level, and, finally, developed genetic abnormalities which were never detected in HS-derived Sp-MSCs. Our data point toward the existence of a defective splenic niche in patients with MF that could be responsible of some pathological features of the disease, including the increased trafficking of CD34+ cells and the expansion of the megakaryocytic lineage.

Abstract
Prolonged isolated thrombocytopenia (PT) is a serious complication of allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). Murine studies and in vitro experiments suggest that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can, not only to support haematopoiesis, but also preferentially support megakaryocytopoiesis in bone marrow (BM). However, little is known about the quantity and function of BM MSCs in PT patients. In a case-control study, we found that BM MSCs from PT patients exhibited significantly reduced proliferative capacities, increased reactive oxygen species and senescence. Antioxidant (N-acetyl-L-cysteine, NAC) treatment in vitro not only quantitatively and functionally improved BM MSCs derived from PT patients through down-regulation of the p38 (also termed MAPK14) and p53 (also termed TP53) pathways but also partially rescued the impaired ability of BM MSCs to support megakaryocytopoiesis. Subsequently, a pilot study showed that the overall response of NAC treatment was obtained in 7 of the enrolled PT patients (N = 10) without significant side effects. Taken together, the results indicated that dysfunctional BM MSCs played a role in the pathogenesis of PT and the impaired BM MSCs could be improved by NAC in vitro. Although requiring further validation, our data indicate that NAC might be a potential therapeutic approach for PT patients after allo-HSCT.

Abstract
Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an autoimmune disease. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) play important roles in the physiology and homeostasis of the haematopoietic system, including supporting megakaryocytic differentiation from CD34+ haematopoietic progenitor cells. Tumour necrosis factor alpha-induced protein 3 (TNFAIP3, also termed A20) plays a key role in terminating NF-κB signalling. Human genetic studies showed that the polymorphisms of the TNFAIP3 gene may contribute to ITP susceptibility. In this study, we showed a significant decrease in TNFAIP3 and increase in NF-κB/SMAD7 in ITP-MSCs. In co-cultures with CD34+ cells, NF-κB was overexpressed in MSCs from healthy controls (HC-MSCs) after transfection with NFKBIA (IκB)-specific short hairpin (sh)RNAs, resulting in MSC deficiency and a reduction in megakaryocytic differentiation and thrombopoiesis. Knockdown of TNFAIP3 expression using TNFAIP3-specific shRNAs in HC-MSCs affected megakaryocytopoiesis. However, IKBKB knockdown corrected megakaryocytopoiesis inhibition in the ITP-MSCs by decreasing NF-κB expression. Amplified TNFAIP3 expression in ITP-MSCs by TNFAIP3 cDNA can facilitate megakaryocyte differentiation. shRNA-mediated knockdown of SMAD7 expression rescued the impaired MSC function in ITP patients. Therefore, we demonstrate that a pathological reduction in TNFAIP3 levels induced NF-κB/SMAD7 pathway activation, causing a deficiency in MSCs in ITP patients. The ability of ITP-MSCs to support megakaryocytic differentiation and thrombopoiesis of CD34+ cells was impaired.

Abstract
The fetal liver is the site of a major expansion of the hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) pool and is also a privileged organ to study megakaryocyte progenitor differentiation. We identified in the mouse fetal liver at day 13.5 a discrete stromal cell population harboring a CD45-TER119-CD31-CD51+VCAM-1+PDGFRα- (V+P-) phenotype that lacked colony-forming unit fibroblast activity and harbored an hepatocyte progenitor signature. This previously undescribed V+P- population efficiently supported megakaryocyte production from mouse bone marrow HSC and human peripheral blood HSC-myeloid progenitors cultured in the presence of limited cytokine concentrations. Megakaryocytes obtained in V+P- cocultures were polyploid, positive for CD41/CD42c, and efficiently produced proplatelets. Megakaryocyte production appeared to be mediated by an expansion of the progenitor compartment through HSC-stromal cell contact. In conclusion, the fetal liver contains a unique cellular microenvironment that could represent a platform for the discovery of regulators of megakaryopoiesis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Impaired platelet production has been found to be an important pathological mechanism of thrombocytopenia in many diseases. Platelet generation is a complex process that mainly occurs in the bone marrow, and thus is closely regulated by the bone marrow microenvironment. This review attempts to summarize the most current knowledge referring the role of bone marrow microenvironment in the regulation of platelet production. METHODS The effects of multiple microenvironment ingredients in regulating megakaryopoiesis and thrombocytopoiesis have been discussed. Abnormalities of these components in thrombocytopenic diseases are also described. DISCUSSIONS Thrombocytopenia is a common clinical manifestation of a variety of diseases. The functional importance of platelets has driven the developments of a broad range of studies. Platelet generation mainly occurs within the bone marrow, where the cells, soluble factors, and extracellular matrix proteins collaboratively form a complex regulatory network, directing megakaryocytic proliferation and differentiation. Alteration in any part of the regulating network may result in defective platelet formation, and eventually lead to thrombocytopenia. A variety of thrombocytopenic diseases have been found to be related with the disregulated bone marrow microenvironment. Identification of the variations of these niche ingredients in certain diseases has facilitated the developments of multiple therapeutic regimes. Further studies that can combine these niche factors with their downstream regulatory factors will be beneficial for developing more effective therapies. CONCLUSIONS Further definition of the role of bone marrow microenvironment in platelet generation may deepen our understanding of the underlying mechanisms as well as provide new therapeutic targets for thrombocytopenic diseases.

Abstract
Human mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) have been shown to support the growth and differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells (HSC). We hypothesized that intra-osseous (IO) co-transplantation of MSC and umbilical cord blood (UCB) may be effective in improving early HSC engraftment, as IO transplantation has been demonstrated to enhance UCB engraftment in NOD SCID-gamma (NSG) mice. Following non-lethal irradiation (300rads), 6 groups of NSG mice were studied: 1) intravenous (IV) UCB CD34+ cells, 2) IV UCB CD34+ cells and MSC, 3) IO UCB CD34+ cells, 4) IO UCB CD34+ cells and IO MSC, 5) IO UCB CD34+ cells and IV MSC, and 6) IV UCB CD34+ and IO MSC. Analysis of human-derived CD45+, CD3+, and CD19+ cells 6 weeks following transplant revealed the highest level of engraftment in the IO UCB plus IO MSC cohort. Bone marrow analysis of human CD13 and CD14 markers revealed no significant difference between cohorts. We observed that IO MSC and UCB co-transplantation led to superior engraftment of CD45+, CD3+ and CD19+ lineage cells in the bone marrow at 6 weeks as compared with the IV UCB cohort controls. Our data suggests that IO co-transplantation of MSC and UCB facilitates human HSC engraftment in NSG mice.

Abstract
The mechanisms regulating megakaryopoiesis and platelet production (thrombopoiesis) are still incompletely understood. Identification of a progenitor with enhanced thrombopoietic capacity would be useful to decipher these mechanisms and to improve our capacity to produce platelets in vitro. Differentiation of peripheral blood CD34(+) cells in the presence of bone marrow-human mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) enhanced the production of proplatelet-bearing megakaryocytes (MKs) and platelet-like elements. This was accompanied by enrichment in a MK precursor population exhibiting an intermediate level of CD41 positivity while maintaining its expression of CD34. Following sorting and subculture with MSCs, this CD34(+)CD41(low) population was able to efficiently generate proplatelet-bearing MKs and platelet-like particles. Similarly, StemRegenin 1 (SR1), an antagonist of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) transcription factor known to maintain CD34 expression of progenitor cells, led to an enriched CD34(+)CD41(low) fraction and to an increased capacity to generate proplatelet-producing MKs and platelet-like elements ultrastructurally and functionally similar to circulating platelets. The effect of MSCs, like that of SR1, appeared to be mediated by an AhR-dependent mechanism because both culture conditions resulted in repression of its downstream effector CYP1B1. This newly described isolation of a precursor exhibiting strong MK potential could be exploited to study normal and abnormal thrombopoiesis and for in vitro platelet production.

Abstract
Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs), including human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) and human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs), provide a new cell source for regenerative medicine, disease modeling, drug discovery, and preclinical toxicity screening. Understanding of the onset and the sequential process of hematopoietic cells from differentiated hPSCs will enable the achievement of personalized medicine and provide an in vitro platform for studying of human hematopoietic development and disease. During embryogenesis, hemogenic endothelial cells, a specified subset of endothelial cells in embryonic endothelium, are the primary source of multipotent hematopoietic stem cells. In this review, we discuss current status in the generation of multipotent hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells from hPSCs via hemogenic endothelial cells. We also review the achievements in direct reprogramming from non-hematopoietic cells to hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells. Further characterization of hematopoietic differentiation in hPSCs will improve our understanding of blood development and expedite the development of hPSC-derived blood products for therapeutic purpose.

Abstract
Diseases of the musculoskeletal system are a major cause of loss of use and retirement in sport horses. The use of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMDMSCs) for healing of traumatized tissue has gained substantial favor in clinical settings and can assist healing and tissue regeneration in orthopedic injuries. There are two common sites of harvest of BMDMSCs, the sternum and the ilium. Our objective was to determine if any differences exist in BMDMSCs acquired from the sternum and the ilium. We compared the two harvest sites in their propensity to undergo multilineage differentiation, differences in cell surface markers, or gene transduction efficiencies. BMDMSCs were isolated and culture-expanded from 5 ml aspirates of bone marrow from sternum and ilium. The cells were then plated and cultured with appropriate differentiation medium to result in multi-lineage differentiation and cell characteristics were compared between sternal and ilial samples. Cell surface antibody expression of CD11a/18, CD34, CD44, and CD90 were evaluated using flow cytometry, and gene transduction efficiencies were evaluated using GFP scAAV. There were no statistically significant differences in cell characteristics between MSCs cultured from the sternum and the ilium under any circumstances.

Abstract
Primary myelofibrosis is characterized by clonal myeloproliferation, dysmegakaryopoiesis, extramedullary hematopoiesis associated with myelofibrosis and altered stroma in the bone marrow and spleen. The expression of CD9, a tetraspanin known to participate in megakaryopoiesis, platelet formation, cell migration and interaction with stroma, is deregulated in patients with primary myelofibrosis and is correlated with stage of myelofibrosis. We investigated whether CD9 participates in the dysmegakaryopoiesis observed in patients and whether it is involved in the altered interplay between megakaryocytes and stromal cells. We found that CD9 expression was modulated during megakaryocyte differentiation in primary myelofibrosis and that cell surface CD9 engagement by antibody ligation improved the dysmegakaryopoiesis by restoring the balance of MAPK and PI3K signaling. When co-cultured on bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells from patients, megakaryocytes from patients with primary myelofibrosis displayed modified behaviors in terms of adhesion, cell survival and proliferation as compared to megakaryocytes from healthy donors. These modifications were reversed after antibody ligation of cell surface CD9, suggesting the participation of CD9 in the abnormal interplay between primary myelofibrosis megakaryocytes and stroma. Furthermore, silencing of CD9 reduced CXCL12 and CXCR4 expression in primary myelofibrosis megakaryocytes as well as their CXCL12-dependent migration. Collectively, our results indicate that CD9 plays a role in the dysmegakaryopoiesis that occurs in primary myelofibrosis and affects interactions between megakaryocytes and bone marrow stromal cells. These results strengthen the "bad seed in bad soil" hypothesis that we have previously proposed, in which alterations of reciprocal interactions between hematopoietic and stromal cells participate in the pathogenesis of primary myelofibrosis.

Abstract
Megakaryocytes are rare cells found in the bone marrow, responsible for the everyday production and release of millions of platelets into the bloodstream. Since the discovery and cloning, in 1994, of their principal humoral factor, thrombopoietin, and its receptor c-Mpl, many efforts have been directed to define the mechanisms underlying an efficient platelet production. However, more recently different studies have pointed out new roles for megakaryocytes as regulators of bone marrow homeostasis and physiology. In this review we discuss the interaction and the reciprocal regulation of megakaryocytes with the different cellular and extracellular components of the bone marrow environment. Finally, we provide evidence that these processes may concur to the reconstitution of the bone marrow environment after injury and their deregulation may lead to the development of a series of inherited or acquired pathologies.

Abstract
Megakaryocytes (MKs) are rare hematopoietic cells in the adult bone marrow and produce platelets that are critical to vascular hemostasis and wound healing. Ex vivo generation of MKs from human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) provides a renewable cell source of platelets for treating thrombocytopenic patients and allows a better understanding of MK/platelet biology. The key requirements in this approach include developing a robust and consistent method to produce functional progeny cells, such as MKs from hiPSCs, and minimizing the risk and variation from the animal-derived products in cell cultures. In this study, we developed an efficient system to generate MKs from hiPSCs under a feeder-free and xeno-free condition, in which all animal-derived products were eliminated. Several crucial reagents were evaluated and replaced with Food and Drug Administration-approved pharmacological reagents, including romiplostim (Nplate, a thrombopoietin analog), oprelvekin (recombinant interleukin-11), and Plasbumin (human albumin). We used this method to induce MK generation from hiPSCs derived from 23 individuals in two steps: generation of CD34(+)CD45(+) hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs) for 14 days; and generation and expansion of CD41(+)CD42a(+) MKs from HPCs for an additional 5 days. After 19 days, we observed abundant CD41(+)CD42a(+) MKs that also expressed the MK markers CD42b and CD61 and displayed polyploidy (≥16% of derived cells with DNA contents >4N). Transcriptome analysis by RNA sequencing revealed that megakaryocytic-related genes were highly expressed. Additional maturation and investigation of hiPSC-derived MKs should provide insights into MK biology and lead to the generation of large numbers of platelets ex vivo.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AIMS Platelet transfusion can be a life-saving procedure in different medical settings. Thus, there is an increasing demand for platelets, of which shelf-life is only 5 days. The efficient ex vivo biomanufacturing of platelets would allow overcoming the shortages of donated platelets. METHODS We exploited a two-stage culture protocol aiming to study the effect of different parameters on the megakaryo/thrombopoiesis ex vivo. In the expansion stage, human umbilical cord blood (UCB)-derived CD34(+)-enriched cells were expanded in co-culture with human bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (BM-MSCs). The megakaryocytic commitment and platelet generation were studied, considering the impact of exogenous addition of thrombopoietin (TPO) in the expansion stage and a cytokine cocktail (Cyt) including TPO and interleukin-3 in the differentiation stage, with the use of different culture medium formulations, and in the presence/absence of BM-MSCs (direct versus non-direct cell-cell contact). RESULTS Our results suggest that an early megakaryocytic commitment, driven by TPO addition during the expansion stage, further enhanced megakaryopoiesis. Importantly, the results suggest that co-culture with BM-MSCs under serum-free conditions combined with Cyt addition, in the differentiation stage, significantly improved the efficiency yield of megakaryo/thrombopoiesis as well as increasing %CD41, %CD42b and polyploid content; in particular, direct contact of expanded cells with BM-MSCs, in the differentiation stage, enhanced the efficiency yield of megakaryo/thrombopoiesis, despite inhibiting their maturation. CONCLUSIONS The present study established an in vitro model for the hematopoietic niche that combines different biological factors, namely, the presence of stromal/accessory cells and biochemical cues, which mimics the BM niche and enhances an efficient megakaryo/thrombopoiesis process ex vivo.

Abstract
Recent studies suggest that megakaryocytes (MKs) may play a significant role in skeletal homeostasis, as evident by the occurrence of osteosclerosis in multiple MK related diseases (Lennert et al., 1975; Thiele et al., 1999; Chagraoui et al., 2006). We previously reported a novel interaction whereby MKs enhanced proliferation of osteoblast lineage/osteoprogenitor cells (OBs) by a mechanism requiring direct cell-cell contact. However, the signal transduction pathways and the downstream effector molecules involved in this process have not been characterized. Here we show that MKs contact with OBs, via beta1 integrin, activate the p38/MAPKAPK2/p90RSK kinase cascade in the bone cells, which causes Mdm2 to neutralizes p53/Rb-mediated check point and allows progression through the G1/S. Interestingly, activation of MAPK (ERK1/2) and AKT, collateral pathways that regulate the cell cycle, remained unchanged with MK stimulation of OBs. The MK-to-OB signaling ultimately results in significant increases in the expression of c-fos and cyclin A, necessary for sustaining the OB proliferation. Overall, our findings show that OBs respond to the presence of MKs, in part, via an integrin-mediated signaling mechanism, activating a novel response axis that de-represses cell cycle activity. Understanding the mechanisms by which MKs enhance OB proliferation will facilitate the development of novel anabolic therapies to treat bone loss associated with osteoporosis and other bone-related diseases.

Abstract
The pathophysiology of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is largely related to an innate defect in the immune system culminating in a loss of self-tolerance and destruction of the insulin-producing β-cells. Currently, there is no definitive cure for T1DM. Insulin injection does not mimic the precise regulation of β-cells on glucose homeostasis, leading long term to the development of complications. Stem cell therapy is a promising approach and specifically mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) offer a promising possibility that deserves to be explored further. MSCs are multipotent, nonhematopoietic progenitors. They have been explored as an treatment option in tissue regeneration as well as potential of in vitro transdifferentiation into insulin-secreting cells. Thus, the major therapeutic goals for T1DM have been achieved in this way. The regenerative capabilities of MSCs have been a driving force to initiate studies testing their therapeutic effectiveness; their immunomodulatory properties have been equally exciting; which would appear capable of disabling immune dysregulation that leads to β-cell destruction in T1DM. Furthermore, MSCs can be cultured under specially defined conditions, their transdifferentiation can be directed toward the β-cell phenotype, and the formation of insulin-producing cells (IPCs) can be targeted. To date, the role of MSCs-derived IPC in T1DM–a unique approach with some positive findings–have been unexplored, but it is still in its very early phase. In this study, a new approach of MSCs-derived IPCs, as a potential therapeutic benefit for T1DM in experimental animal models as well as in humans has been summarized.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The induction of hematopoietic stem cells to produce mass numbers of platelets (PLTs) in vitro is an effective method to address a lack of PLTs and PLT transfusion resistance in the clinic. However, the design of a low-cost and sustainable culture system is currently problematic. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS Here, the thrombopoietin, interleukin (IL)-6, and IL-11 genes, three regulatory factors important for thrombopoiesis, were used to construct self-splicing fusion genes linked by foot and mouth disease (F2A) and Theiler's murine encephalitis (T2A) viruses. Bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) transduced with the fusion gene acted as nourishing cells and induced cord blood mononuclear cells (MNCs) to generate PLTs in vitro. We counted these cells; determined the percentage of cells expressing specific cell surface markers (CD41); and measured their ability to aggregate via flow cytometry, immunohistochemical staining, and aggregation remote analyzer. RESULTS BMSCs transduced with the fusion gene successfully induced cord blood MNCs to generate PLT-sized fragments in the absence of exogenous cytokines. The output was higher than that of the control groups, and the PLT-sized fragments were similar to endogenous PLTs in terms of shape, CD41 expression, and aggregation function. CONCLUSION These results suggest that our method could be used to develop a low-cost sustainable cultivation system that generates PLTs in vitro by enhancing the autocrine production of related cytokines through the nourishment provided by cells transduced with a syncretic gene.

Abstract
Maintenance of bone mass and geometry is influenced by mechanical stimuli. Paradigms suggest that osteocytes embedded within the mineralized matrix and osteoblasts on the bone surfaces are the primary responders to physical forces. However, other cells within the bone marrow cavity, such as megakaryocytes (MKs), are also subject to mechanical forces. Recent studies have highlighted the potent effects of MKs on osteoblast proliferation as well as bone formation in vivo. We hypothesize that MKs are capable of responding to physical forces and that the interactions between these cells and osteoblasts can be influenced by mechanical stimulation. In this study, we demonstrate that two MK cell lines respond to fluid shear stress in culture. Furthermore, using laser capture microdissection, we isolated MKs from histologic sections of murine tibiae that were exposed to compressive loads in vivo. C-fos, a transcription factor shown to be upregulated in response to load in various tissue types, was increased in MKs from loaded relative to non-loaded limbs at a level comparable to that of osteocytes from the same limbs. We also developed a co-culture system to address whether mechanical stimulation of MKs in culture would impact osteoblast proliferation and differentiation. The presence of MKs in co-culture, but not conditioned media, had dramatic effects on proliferation of preosteoblast MC3T3-E1 cells in culture. Our data suggests a minimal decrease in proliferation as well as an increase in mineralization capacity of osteoblasts co-cultured with MKs exposed to shear compared to co-cultures with unstimulated MKs.

Abstract
The bone marrow cavity is essential for the proper development of the hematopoietic system. In the last few decades, it has become clear that mesenchymal stem/progenitor cells as well as cells of the osteoblast lineage, besides maintaining bone homeostasis, are also fundamental regulators of bone marrow hematopoiesis. Several studies have demonstrated the direct involvement of mesenchymal and osteoblast lineage cells in the maintenance and regulation of supportive microenvironments necessary for quiescence, self-renewal and differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells. In addition, specific niches have also been identified within the bone marrow for maturing hematopoietic cells. Here we will review recent findings that have highlighted the roles of mesenchymal progenitors and cells of the osteoblast lineage in regulating distinct stages of hematopoiesis.

Abstract
All-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) induces clinical remission in most acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) patients by inducing terminal differentiation of APL cells toward mature granulocytes. Here we report that human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSCs) are capable of inducing granulocytic differentiation of the APL-derived NB4 cell line as well as primary APL cells and also cooperate with ATRA in an additive manner. Transwell coculture experiments revealed that UC-MSCs' differentiation-inducing effect was mediated through some soluble factors. Differentiation attenuation by IL-6Ra neutralization and induction by addition of exogenous IL-6 confirmed that IL-6 secreted by UC-MSCs was at least partially responsible for this differentiation induction process. Moreover, we found that UC-MSCs activated the MEK/ERK signaling pathway in promyelocytic cells and pharmacological inhibition of the MEK/ERK pathway reversed UC-MSC-induced differentiation, indicating that UC-MSCs exerted effect through activation of the MEK/ERK signaling pathway. These results demonstrate for the first time a stimulatory effect of MSCs on the differentiation of APL cells and bring a new insight into the interaction between MSCs and leukemic cells. Our data suggest that UC-MSCs/ATRA combination could be used as a novel therapeutic strategy for APL patients.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Once only a subject for science fiction novels, plans for establishing habitation on space stations, the Moon, and distant planets now appear among the short-term goals of space agencies. This article reviews studies that present biomedical issues that appear to challenge humankind for long-term spaceflights. With particularly focus on cells of bone marrow origin, studies involving changes in bone, immune, and red blood cell populations and their functions due to extended weightlessness were reviewed. Furthermore, effects of mechanical disuse on primitive stem cells that reside in the bone marrow were also included in this review. Novel biomedical solutions using space biotechnology will be required in order to achieve the goal of space exploration without compromising the functions of bone marrow, as spaceflight appears to disrupt homeostasis for all given cell types.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent adult stem cells that are present in practically all tissues as a specialized population of mural cells/pericytes that lie on the abluminal side of blood vessels. Originally identified within the bone marrow (BM) stroma, not only do they provide microenvironmental support for hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), but can also differentiate into various mesodermal lineages. MSCs can easily be isolated from the BM and subsequently expand in vitro and in addition they exhibit intriguing immunomodulatory properties, thereby emerging as attractive candidates for various therapeutic applications. This review addresses the concept of BM MSCs via a hematologist's point of view. In this context it discusses the stem cell properties that have been attributed to BM MSCs, as compared to those of the prototypic hematopoietic stem cell model and then gives a brief overview of the in vitro and vivo features of the former, emphasizing on their immunoregulatory properties and their hematopoiesis-supporting role. In addition, the qualitative and quantitative characteristics of BM MSCs within the context of a defective microenvironment, such as the one characterizing Myelodysplastic Syndromes are described and the potential involvement of these cells in the pathophysiology of the disease is discussed. Finally, emerging clinical applications of BM MSCs in the field of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation are reviewed and potential hazards from MSC use are outlined.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease is a major target for many experimental stem cell-based therapies and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are widely used in these therapies. Transplantation of MSCs to treat cardiac disease has always been predicated on the hypothesis that these cells would engraft, differentiate and replace damaged cardiac tissues. However, experimental or clinical observations so far have failed to demonstrate a therapeutically relevant level of transplanted MSC engraftment or differentiation. Instead, they indicate that transplanted MSCs secrete factors to reduce tissue injury and/or enhance tissue repair. Here we review the evidences supporting this hypothesis including the recent identification of exosome as a therapeutic agent in MSC secretion. In particular, we will discuss the potential and practicality of using this relatively novel entity as a therapeutic modality for the treatment of cardiac disease, particularly acute myocardial infarction.

Abstract
Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) regulate the growth and differentiation of Hematopoietic Progenitor cells (HPCs) through the release of soluble factors or through their differentiation into osteoblasts. We recently demonstrated that expansion of megakaryocyte (MK) progenitors ex vivo had reached a plateau when CD34(+) cells were grown with two optimized cytokine cocktails developed for the growth of MK. Hence, we sought to determine whether co-culture of CD34(+) cells with Bone Marrow (BM) MSCs could further increase the expansion of myeloid and MK progenitors. First, we tested the impact of cell-cell contact and pre-irradiation treatment of the MSCs to identify the condition that best supports HPC expansion. This screen revealed that HPC expansions were generally greater in the non-contact conditions, and that pre-irradiation of the MSCs appeared to be of added benefits. Improved expansion of both myeloid and MK progenitors in co-culture with irradiated MSCs without contact was subsequently confirmed. Next, cytokine array profiling was carried out to investigate why irradiation promoted progenitor expansion. This revealed that the levels of as many as 33 factors were potentially altered. ELISA confirmed the significant up regulation of NT-3 and IGFBP-2. Since, these factors are known to be released by and important for osteogenic and endothelial cells, we investigated and confirmed that irradiation of MSCs induced their rapid differentiation into osteogenic-like cells, but not into endothelial-like cells. Supporting this finding, expansions of myeloid and MK progenitors were increased when CD34(+) cells were co-culture with MSCs-derived osteoblasts. Altogether, these results indicate that the improved expansion of HPCs obtained with irradiated MSCs is due in part to their differentiation into osteoblast-like cells, thereby recreating an endosteal-like environment that provides improved support for HPCs expansion.

Abstract
The hematopoietic microenvironment, and in particular the hematopoietic stromal cell element, are intimately involved in megakaryocyte development. The process of megakaryocytopoiesis occurs within a complex bone marrow microenvironment where adhesive interactions, chemokines, as well as cytokines play a pivotal role. Here we review the effect of stromal cells and cytokines on megakaryocytopoiesis with the aim of exploring new therapeutic strategies for platelet recovery after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT).

Abstract
Background Exosomes or secreted bi-lipid vesicles from human ESC-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hESC-MSCs) have been shown to reduce myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury in animal models. However, as hESC-MSCs are not infinitely expansible, large scale production of these exosomes would require replenishment of hESC-MSC through derivation from hESCs and incur recurring costs for testing and validation of each new batch. Our aim was therefore to investigate if MYC immortalization of hESC-MSC would circumvent this constraint without compromising the production of therapeutically efficacious exosomes. Methods The hESC-MSCs were transfected by lentivirus carrying a MYC gene. The transformed cells were analyzed for MYC transgene integration, transcript and protein levels, and surface markers, rate of cell cycling, telomerase activity, karyotype, genome-wide gene expression and differentiation potential. The exosomes were isolated by HPLC fractionation and tested in a mouse model of myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury, and infarct sizes were further assessed by using Evans' blue dye injection and TTC staining. Results MYC-transformed MSCs largely resembled the parental hESC-MSCs with major differences being reduced plastic adherence, faster growth, failure to senesce, increased MYC protein expression, and loss of in vitro adipogenic potential that technically rendered the transformed cells as non-MSCs. Unexpectedly, exosomes from MYC-transformed MSCs were able to reduce relative infarct size in a mouse model of myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury indicating that the capacity for producing therapeutic exosomes was preserved. Conclusion Our results demonstrated that MYC transformation is a practical strategy in ensuring an infinite supply of cells for the production of exosomes in the milligram range as either therapeutic agents or delivery vehicles. In addition, the increased proliferative rate by MYC transformation reduces the time for cell production and thereby reduces production costs.

Abstract
Previous studies have suggested that mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) enhance the engraftment of hematopoietic stem cells and modulate the host's immune response. However, there are no randomized studies to confirm these results. Moreover, there are some concerns about the risk of tumor recurrence because of the immunosuppressive property of MSCs. We conducted an open-label, randomized phase II clinical study to assess the outcome of MSC coinfusion (3-5 × 10(5) cells/kg) during haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. From June 2007 to June 2008, a total of 55 patients who were diagnosed with leukemia in complete remission entered the study (27 in the treatment group and 28 in the control group). No immediate or long-term toxic side effects related to MSC infusion were noted, and the median times of white blood cell and platelet engraftment were comparable between the 2 groups. However, within 100 days, the time to a platelet concentration of >50 × 10(9) cells/L was markedly faster in the treatment group compared with the control group (22 days vs. 28 days; P = 0.036). Stromal-derived factor-1α (SDF-1α) reached a peak concentration more rapidly in the treatment group compared with the control group (8th vs. 16th day). The concentrations of SDF-1α, thrombopoietin (TPO), and interleukin-11 were also elevated in the MSC-treated group compared with the control group. The accumulative occurrence rate of acute graft-versus-host disease greater than grade 2 was 51.8% and 38.9% in the treatment and control groups (P = 0.422), respectively, whereas the occurrence rate of chronic graft-versus-host disease was 51.4% and 74.1% (P = 0.261), respectively. Through March 2010, which marked 2 years, the overall survival rate was 69.7% for the MSC-treated group and 64.3% for the control group (P = 0.737). Three patients in the treatment group and 2 patients in the control group experienced a hematological relapse and died of leukemia.

Abstract
In order to evaluate whether mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) from non-hematopoietic tissues are able to regulate megakaryocytopoiesis, we identified human MSCs from adult bone marrow (ABM), fetal pancreas (FPan) and umbilical cord (UC), and their abilities to support megakaryocyte (MK) differentiation from CD34(+) hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs) were comparatively studied. First, MSCs were isolated from ABM, FPan and UC then their growth kinetics, molecular characterization and mesodermal differentiation capacity were determined. ABM-MSCs, FPan-MSCs and UC-MSCs were irradiated and cocultured with human umbilical cord blood (UCB) CD34(+) cells, and the expansion efficiency of MK progenitor cells and MK formation were analysed and compared. Finally, SCF, IL-6 and GM-CSF expression by the three types of MSCs were also examined. Our results showed that FPan-MSCs and UC-MSCs shared most of the characteristic of ABM-MSCs, including morphology, immunophenotype, adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation potentials. Compared with ABM-MSCs, fetal MSCs had higher proliferative capacity. After 7 days' coculture, the maximal production of CD34(+)/CD41a(+) cells was obtained in a group of CD34(+) HPCs + ABM-MSCs. Furthermore, this group produced more MK colonies than other groups (p < 0.05). Surface antigen and ploidy analysis morphological observation demonstrated that a proportion of expanded cells in each group differentiated into mature MKs. ABM-MSCs, FPan-MSCs and UC-MSCs were revealed to express SCF, IL-6 and GM-CSF at mRNA level. We conclude that FPan-MSCs and UC-MSCs have the ability to promote megakaryocytopoiesis, while ABM-MSCs expand more MK progenitor cells from CD34(+) HPCs than MSCs from non-hematopoietic tissues and CD34(+) cells alone.

Abstract
Prostate cancer cells commonly spread through the circulation, but few successfully generate metastatic foci in bone. Osteoclastic cellular activity has been proposed as an initiating event for skeletal metastasis. Megakaryocytes (MKs) inhibit osteoclastogenesis, which could have an impact on tumor establishment in bone. Given the location of mature MKs at vascular sinusoids, they may be the first cells to physically encounter cancer cells as they enter the bone marrow. Identification of the interaction between MKs and prostate cancer cells was the focus of this study. K562 (human MK precursors) and primary MKs derived from mouse bone marrow hematopoietic precursor cells potently suppressed prostate carcinoma PC-3 cells in coculture. The inhibitory effects were specific to prostate carcinoma cells and were enhanced by direct cell-cell contact. Flow cytometry for propidium iodide (PI) and annexin V supported a proapoptotic role for K562 cells in limiting PC-3 cells. Gene expression analysis revealed reduced mRNA levels for cyclin D1, whereas mRNA levels of apoptosis-associated specklike protein containing a CARD (ASC) and death-associated protein kinase 1 (DAPK1) were increased in PC-3 cells after coculture with K562 cells. Recombinant thrombopoietin (TPO) was used to expand MKs in the marrow and resulted in decreased skeletal lesion development after intracardiac tumor inoculation. These novel findings suggest a potent inhibitory role of MKs in prostate carcinoma cell growth in vitro and in vivo. This new finding, of an interaction of metastatic tumors and hematopoietic cells during tumor colonization in bone, ultimately will lead to improved therapeutic interventions for prostate cancer patients.
