Abstract
Hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) isolated from bone marrow have been successfully employed for 50 years in hematological transplantations. Currently, these cells are more frequently isolated from mobilized peripheral blood or umbilical cord blood. In this chapter, we overview several topics related to these cells including their phenotype, methods for isolation, and in vitro and in vivo assays to evaluate their proliferative potential. The successful clinical application of HSPCs is widely understood to have helped establish the rationale for the development of stem cell therapies and regenerative medicine.

Abstract
This article discusses current understanding of myocardial biology, emphasizing the regeneration potential of the adult human heart and the mechanisms involved. In the last decade, a novel conceptual view has emerged. The heart is no longer considered a postmitotic organ, but is viewed as a self-renewing organ characterized by a resident stem cell compartment responsible for tissue homeostasis and cardiac repair following injury. Additionally, HSCs possess the ability to transdifferentiate and acquire the cardiomyocyte, vascular endothelial, and smooth muscle cell lineages. Both cardiac and hematopoietic stem cells may be used therapeutically in an attempt to reverse the devastating consequences of chronic heart failure of ischemic and nonischemic origin.

Abstract
CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE Counting and separating hematopoietic stem cells from different sources has importance for research and clinical assays. Our aims here were to characterize and quantify hematopoietic cell populations in marrow donors and to evaluate CD34 expression and relate this to engraftment. DESIGN AND SETTING Cross-sectional study on hematopoietic stem cell assays, using flow cytometry on donor bone marrow samples, for allogenic transplantation patients at two hospitals in São Paulo. METHODS Immunophenotyping of marrow cells was performed in accordance with positive findings of CD34FITC, CD117PE, CD38PE, CD7FITC, CD33PE, CD10FITC, CD19PE, CD14FITC, CD13PE, CD11cPE, CD15FITIC, CD22PE, CD61FITC and CD56PE monoclonal antibodies in CD45PerCP+ cells, searching for differentiation and maturation regions. CD34+ sorting cells were analyzed for CD38 and CD117. Rh-123 retention was done before and after sorting. Antigen expression and CD34+ cells were correlated with engraftment. RESULTS In region R1, 0.1% to 2.8% of cells were CD34+/CD45+ and 1.1%, CD34+/CD45-. The main coexpressions of CD45+ cells were CD38, CD22, CD19 and CD56 in R2 and CD33, CD11c, CD14, CD15 and CD61 in R3 and R4. After sorting, 2.2x10(6) CD34+ cells were equivalent to 4.9% of total cells. Coexpression of CD34+/CD38+ and CD34+/CD117+ occurred in 94.9% and 82% of events, respectively. There was a positive relationship between CD34+ cells and engraftment. More than 80% of marrow cells expressed high Rh-123. CD34+ cell sorting showed that cells in regions of more differentiated lineages retained Rh-123 more intensively than in primitive lineage regions. CONCLUSION We advocate that true stem cells are CD34+/CD45-/CD38-/low-Rh-123 accumulations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Synovium is the only tissue that can produce hyaline cartilage in benign conditions, such as synovial chondromatosis and osteoarthritis, suggesting potential advantages in chondrogenesis using mesenchymal stromal cells. We performed surface characterization of cells isolated from the synovium of patients with osteoarthritis after different passages and induced chondrogenic differentiation. METHODS Using cells obtained from synovium, colony-forming unit fibroblast assay and characterization of cell-surface markers by flow cytometry using 22 different Ab at different passages were performed. Cells were cultured under chondrogenic conditions and evaluated grossly, histologically, immunohistochemically and by [(35)S]sulfate incorporation and reverse transcription-PCR. RESULTS The positive cell-surface markers of immediately isolated cells were CD10, CD13, CD14, CD34, CD44, CD45, CD49a, CD62e, CD73 and HLA-DR. After the first passage (P), CD14, CD34, CD45, CD62e and HLA-DR disappeared, whereas CD105 and CD166 appeared and CD10, CD13, CD44, CD49a and CD73 showed increased expression levels. The surface marker expression level did not vary much after P1 through to P8. The chondrogenic differentiation potential of cells from the synovium was confirmed using various evaluation methods. DISCUSSION We have demonstrated that cells from synovium contain a mesenchymal stromal cell population capable of chondrogenic differentiation, which seems to increase with passage under our culture conditions. The cell-surface markers were found to change remarkably after the first passage and then remained stable. The results of this study may be helpful for sorting mesenchymal stromal cells from heterogeneous synovial cells for future studies.

Abstract
We have used a murine MSCV-based bicistronic retroviral vector, containing the common gamma chain (gammac) and enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) cDNAs, to optimize retroviral transduction of canine cells, including an adherent canine thymus fibroblast cell line, Cf2Th, as well as normal canine CD34(+) bone marrow (BM) cells. Both canine cell types were shown to express Ram-1 (the amphotropic retroviral receptor) mRNA. Supernatants containing infectious viruses were produced using both stable (PA317) and transient (Phoenix cells) amphotropic virus producer cell lines. Centrifugation (spinfection) combined with the addition of polybrene produced the highest transduction efficiencies, infecting approximately 75% of Cf2Th cells. An average of 11% of highly enriched canine CD34(+) cells could be transduced in a protocol that utilized spinfection and plates coated with the fibronectin fragment CH-296 (Retronectin). Indirect assays showed the vector-encoded canine gammac cDNA produced a gammac protein that was expressed on the cell surface of transduced cells. This strategy may result in the transduction of sufficient numbers of CD34(+) BM cells to make the treatment of canine X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency and other canine genetic diseases feasible.

Abstract
We have attempted to evaluate the level of the earliest human hematopoietic cell marker expression (CD34, CD117, CD133, CD184) on cells obtained from heparinized cadaveric organ donors before and after disconnection from the respirator. Moreover, we compared various cell populations: (1) coexpressing CD34/CD117; (2) CD34/CD133; (3) highly enriched hematopoietic stem cells (CD34+CXCR4+CD45+); and (4) highly enriched tissue-committed stem cells (CD34+CXCR4+CD45-). Finally, we analyzed whether the level of hematopoietic stem cell marker expression depended on the age of the donor. The expression of the membrane receptors (CD34, CD45, CD117, CD133, CD184) was studied by flow cytometry. We observed that the proportion of mononuclear cells expressing these markers slightly decreased in bone marrow harvested after disconnection from the respirator compared with the samples obtained before disconnection. Moreover, the proportion of cells expressing CD117 antigen depended on age of the donor.

Abstract
Abstract Nonobese diabetic recombination activating gene-null perforin-null (NOD- Rag1 null Prf1 null ) mice, which totally lack mature T and B cells and natural killer cell cytotoxic function, survive longer and are easier to breed than NOD-severe combined immunodeficiency ( scid ) or NOD- scid /beta 2 -microglobulin null mice. We have tested the use of NOD- Rag1 null Prf1 null mice as recipients in a long-term xenograft assay for human hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) by adopting Yoder and colleagues' method of conditioned newborn mice, with minor modifications. Pregnant NOD- Rag1 null Prf1 null dams were treated with busulfan 22.5 mg/kg. On the day of delivery, the busulfan-exposed pups underwent transplantation with 4 to 5 million T cell--depleted human cord blood mononuclear cells via the facial vein. At 2 months after transplantation, all 11 transplanted mice showed human hematopoietic engraftment in the peripheral blood. At 6 months after transplantation, human cells were detected in 5 mice, which showed higher than 0.9% human cell engraftment at 2 months. The mean percentage of human CD45 + cells in the bone marrow of engrafted mice was 43.9% +/- 36.5% (range, 2.0%-79.9%). Next, we tested the usefulness of conditioned newborn NOD- Rag1 null Prf1 null mice for applications to characterize the dye efflux capability and phenotypic features of human HSCs. Given that cord blood HSCs have the ability to efflux rhodamine 123 (Rho), we attempted transplantations of sorted cells that retained a low level (Rho low ) or high level (Rho high ) of Rho. Six-month engraftment was found only with the Rho low cells, which contained high percentages of CD34 + CD38 - cells and side population cells with Hoechst 33324 efflux activity. These observations suggest that Rho low cells are highly enriched for primitive hematopoietic cells. Accordingly, conditioned newborn NOD- Rag1 null Prf1 null mice provide a desirable model for an assay of long-term transplantable human HSCs.

Abstract
This report reviews three categories of precursor cells present within adults. The first category of precursor cell, the epiblast-like stem cell, has the potential of forming cells from all three embryonic germ layer lineages, e.g., ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm. The second category of precursor cell, the germ layer lineage stem cell, consists of three separate cells. Each of the three cells is committed to form cells limited to a specific embryonic germ layer lineage. Thus the second category consists of germ layer lineage ectodermal stem cells, germ layer lineage mesodermal stem cells, and germ layer lineage endodermal stem cells. The third category of precursor cells, progenitor cells, contains a multitude of cells. These cells are committed to form specific cell and tissue types and are the immediate precursors to the differentiated cells and tissues of the adult. The three categories of precursor cells can be readily isolated from adult tissues. They can be distinguished from each other based on their size, growth in cell culture, expressed genes, cell surface markers, and potential for differentiation. This report also discusses new findings. These findings include the karyotypic analysis of germ layer lineage stem cells; the appearance of dopaminergic neurons after implantation of naive adult pluripotent stem cells into a 6-hydroxydopamine-lesioned Parkinson's model; and the use of adult stem cells as transport mechanisms for exogenous genetic material. We conclude by discussing the potential roles of adult-derived precursor cells as building blocks for tissue repair and as delivery vehicles for molecular medicine.

Abstract
Historically, the dog has been a valuable model for bone marrow transplantation studies, with many of the advances achieved in the dog being directly transferable to human clinical bone marrow transplantation protocols. In addition, dogs are also a source of many well-characterized homologues of human genetic diseases, making them an ideal large animal model in which to evaluate gene therapy protocols. It is generally accepted that progenitor cells for many human hematopoietic cell lineages reside in the CD34+ fraction of cells from bone marrow, cord blood, or peripheral blood. In addition, CD34+ cells are the current targets for human gene therapy of diseases involving the hematopoietic system. In this study, we have isolated and characterized highly enriched populations of canine CD34+ cells isolated from dogs 1 week to 3 months of age. Bone marrow isolated from 2- to 3-week-old dogs contained up to 18% CD34+ cells and this high percentage dropped sharply with age. In in vitro 6-day liquid suspension cultures, CD34+ cells harvested from 3-week-old dogs expanded almost two times more than those from 3-month-old dogs and the cells from younger dogs were also more responsive to human Flt-3 ligand (Flt3L). In culture, the percent and number of CD34+ cells from both ages of dogs dropped sharply between 2 and 4 days, although the number of CD34+ cells at day 6 of culture was higher for cells harvested from the younger dogs. CD34+ cells harvested from both ages of dogs had similar enrichment and depletion values in CFU-GM methylcellulose assays. Canine CD34+/Rho123lo cells expressed c-kit mRNA while the CD34+/Rhohi cells did not. When transplanted to a sub-lethally irradiated recipient, CD34+ cells from 1- to 3-week-old dogs gave rise to both myeloid and lymphoid lineages in the periphery. This study demonstrates that canine CD34+ bone marrow cells have similar in vitro and in vivo characteristics as human CD34+ cells. In addition, ontogeny-related functional differences reported for human CD34+ cells appear to exist in the dog as well, suggesting pediatric CD34+ cells may be better targets for gene transfer than adult bone marrow. The demonstration of similarities between canine and human CD34+ cells enhances the dog as a large, preclinical model to evaluate strategies for improving bone marrow transplantation protocols, for gene therapy protocols that target CD34+ cells, and to study the engraftment potential of various cell populations that may contain hematopoietic progenitor cell activity.

Abstract
Mice deficient in complement C3 (C3(-/-)) are hematologically normal under steady-state conditions, and yet displayed a significant delay in hematopoietic recovery from either irradiation or transplantation of wild-type (WT) hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPC). Transplantation of histocompatible WT Sca-1(+) cells into C3(-/-) mice resulted in a (i) decrease in day 12 CFU-S, (ii) 5-7-day delay in platelet and leukocyte recovery, and (iii) reduced number of BM CFU-GM progenitors at day 16 after transplantation. Nevertheless, HSPC from C3(-/-) mice engrafted normally into irradiated WT mice, suggesting that there was a defect in the hematopoietic environment of C3(-/-) mice. Since C3(-/-) mice cannot activate/cleave C3, the C3 fragments C3a, C3a(des-Arg), and iC3b were examined for a role in HSPC engraftment. Liquid-phase C3a and C3a(des-Arg) increased CXCR4 incorporation into membrane lipid rafts (thus potentiating HSPC responses to SDF-1 gradients), whereas iC3b was deposited onto irradiated BM cells and functioned to tether CR3(CD11b/CD18)(+)HSPC to damaged stroma. The activity of C3a(des-Arg) suggested that C3aR(+)HSPC also expressed the C5L2 (receptor for C3a and C3a(des-Arg)) and this was confirmed. In conclusion, a novel mechanism for HSC engraftment was identified, which involves complement activation and specific C3 fragments that promote conditioning for transplantation and enhance HSPC engraftment.

Abstract
Development of a multicellular organism is accomplished through a series of events that are preprogrammed in the genome. These events encompass cellular proliferation, lineage commitment, lineage progression, lineage expression, cellular inhibition, and regulated apoptosis. The sequential progression of cells through these events results in the formation of the differentiated cells, tissues, and organs that constitute an individual. Although most cells progress through this sequence during development, a few cells leave the developmental continuum to become reserve precursor cells. The reserve precursor cells are involved in the continual maintenance and repair of the tissues and organs throughout the life span of the individual. Until recently it was generally assumed that the precursor cells in postnatal individuals were limited to lineage-committed progenitor cells specific for various tissues. However, studies by Young, his colleagues, and others have demonstrated the presence of two categories of precursor cells that reside within the organs and tissues of postnatal animals. These two categories of precursor cells are lineage-committed (multipotent, tripotent, bipotent, and unipotent) progenitor cells and lineage-uncommitted pluripotent (epiblastic-like, ectodermal, mesodermal, and endodermal) stem cells. These reserve precursor cells provide for the continual maintenance and repair of the organism after birth.

Abstract
The adult hair follicle dermal papilla (DP) and dermal sheath (DS) cells are developmentally active cell populations with a proven role in adult hair follicle-cycling activity and unique inductive powers. In stem cell biology, the hair follicle epithelium has recently been the subject of a great deal of investigation, but up to now, the follicle dermis has been largely overlooked as a source of stem cells. Following the sporadic appearance of muscle, lipid and bone-type cells in discretely isolated follicle DP and DS cell primary cultures, we demonstrated that cultured papilla and sheath cell lines were capable of being directed to lipid and bone differentiation. Subsequently, for the first time, we produced clonal DP and DS lines that had extended proliferative capabilities. Dye exclusion has been reported to be an identifying feature of stem cells; therefore, clonal papilla and sheath lines with differing capacity to exclude rhodamine 123 were cultured in medium known to induce adipocyte and osteocyte differentiation. Both DS- and DP-derived clones showed the capacity to make lipid and to produce calcified material; however, different clones had varied behaviour and there was no obvious correlation between their stem cell capabilities and dye exclusion or selected gene expression markers. As a highly accessible source, capable of being discretely isolated, the follicle has important potentially as a stem cell source for tissue engineering and cell therapy purposes. It will also be interesting to compare follicle dermal stem cell properties with the broader stem cell capabilities discovered in skin dermis and investigate whether, as we believe, the follicle is a key dermal stem cell niche. Finally, the discovery of stem cells in the dermis may have implications for certain pathologies in which abnormal differentiation occurs in the skin.

Abstract
Several theories have been proposed to explain the phenomenon of tissue restoration in amphibians and higher order animals. These theories include dedifferentiation of damaged tissues, transdifferentiation of lineage-committed stem cells, and activation of quiescent stem cells. Young and colleagues demonstrated that connective tissues throughout the body contain multiple populations of quiescent lineage-committed progenitor stem cells and lineage-uncommitted pluripotent stem cells. Subsequent cloning and cell sorting studies identified quiescent lineage-uncommitted pluripotent mesenchymal stem cells, capable of forming any mesodermal cell type, and pluripotent epiblastic-like stem cells, capable of forming any somatic cell type. Based on their studies, they propose at least 11 categories of quiescent reserve stem cells resident within postnatal animals, including humans. These categories are pluripotent epiblastic-like stem cells, pluripotent ectodermal stem cells, pluripotent epidermal stem cells, pluripotent neuronal stem cells, pluripotent neural crest stem cells, pluripotent mesenchymal (mesodermal) stem cells, pluripotent endodermal stem cells, multipotent progenitor stem cells, tripotent progenitor stem cells, bipotent progenitor stem cells, and unipotent progenitor stem cells. Thus, activation of quiescent reserve stem cells, i.e., lineage-committed progenitor stem cells and lineage-uncommitted pluripotent stem cells, resident within the connective tissues could provide for the continual maintenance and repair of the postnatal organism after birth.

Abstract
Previous studies have shown that hematopoietic progenitor cells can be isolated from human or nonhuman primate bone marrow (BM) cells. In the present study, we studied the cross-reactivity of 13 anti-human CD34, two anti-human c-Kit, and one anti-human CD133 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) with cynomolgus macaque (Macaca fascicularis) BM cells, using flow cytometric analysis, cell enrichment, and clonogenic assay. Among the 13 anti-human CD34 mAbs assessed, six cross-reacted as previously reported by other groups. However, only three of these six mAbs (clones 561, 563, and 12.8) recognized cynomolgus CD34+ cells that formed progenitor colonies when grown in methylcellulose culture. Similarly, of the two anti-human c-Kit mAbs (clones NU-c-kit and 95C3) that were previously reported to cross-react with cynomolgus BM cells, only one (clone NU-c-kit) resulted in a similar outcome. The anti-human CD133 mAb (clone AC133) also cross-reacted with cynomolgus BM cells, although these cells did not give rise to colonies when grown in culture. These results suggest that antibodies that cross-react with nonhuman primate cells may not identify the hematopoietic cells of interest. In addition, while the CD34 mAb (clone 561) results in the selection of hematopoietic progenitor cells of all lineages when assessed in methylcellulose culture, the c-Kit(high) fraction (NU-c-kit) exclusively identifies erythroid-specific progenitor cells after growth in culture. It is important to consider these findings when selecting cross-reacting mAbs to identify cells of hematopoietic lineages in macaque species.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The study of hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) is limited by lack of specific markers for HSC. Rhodamine 123 (Rho) is one of the substrates of P-glycoprotein (Pgp), and the presence of active Pgp can be shown by the efflux of Rho. Rho can also be used to measure the mitochondrial transmembrane potential (energy state) of a cell. We reasoned that selection of hematopoietic progenitors using a combination of Rho efflux and phenotypic markers might be superior to use of phenotypic markers alone. MATERIALS AND METHODS We used the myeloid-lymphoid initiating cell (ML-IC) assay as functional measure of primitive progenitors. Umbilical cord blood CD34(+)CD33(-)CD38(-), CD34(+)CD33(-)CD38(-)Rho(-), and CD34(+)CD33(-)CD38(-)Rho(-)c-kit(+) cells were sorted singly onto AFT024 feeders to assess their capacity to become ML-IC. RESULTS The frequency of ML-IC in CD34(+)CD33(-)CD38(-)Rho(-) cells was significantly higher (15 +/- 0.4%) than that in CD34(+)CD33(-)CD38(-) cells (6.2 +/- 0.9%, p < 0.05). However, the frequency of long-term culture-initiating cells (LTC-IC) (17 +/- 3% vs 12 +/- 1.5%) and natural killer culture-initiating cells (NK-IC) (25 +/- 3% vs 20 +/- 4%) was similar in the two populations. Following the treatment of CD34(+)CD33(-)CD38(-)Rho(-) cells with verapamil, which blocks Pgp function, no increase in ML-IC was detected compared with CD34(+)CD33(-)CD38(-) cells (6 +/- 0.7%), suggesting that differences in the energy state, which is reflected by Rho staining after verapamil treatment, cannot be used as a criterion to identify human HSC. Further selection of CD34(+)CD33(-)CD38(-)Rho(-) cells based on expression of c-kit significantly increased the frequency of ML-IC, LTC-IC and NK-IC by 1.75-, 1.3-, and 1.8-fold, respectively. CONCLUSION Combining the function of Pgp and phenotypic features of hematopoietic progenitors enriches the frequency of cord blood ML-IC to greater than 25%. Use of such enriched populations will allow us to characterize the biological behavior of human HSC.

Abstract
Antisense oligodeoxynucleotide (ODN) drugs might be more effective if their delivery was optimized and they were targeted to short-lived proteins encoded by messenger RNA (mRNA) species with equally short half-lives. To test this hypothesis, an ODN targeted to the c-myb proto-oncogene was developed and used to purge marrow autografts administered to allograft-ineligible chronic myelogenous leukemia patients. CD34(+) marrow cells were purged with ODN for either 24 (n = 19) or 72 (n = 5) hours. After purging, Myb mRNA levels declined substantially in approximately 50% of patients. Analysis of bcr/abl expression in long-term culture-initiating cells suggested that purging had been accomplished at a primitive cell level in more than 50% of patients and was ODN dependent. Day-100 cytogenetics were evaluated in surviving patients who engrafted without infusion of unmanipulated "backup" marrow (n = 14). Whereas all patients were approximately 100% Philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph(+)) before transplantation, 2 patients had complete cytogenetic remissions; 3 patients had fewer than 33% Ph(+) metaphases; and 8 remained 100% Ph(+). One patient's marrow yielded no metaphases, but fluorescent in situ hybridization evaluation approximately 18 months after transplantation revealed approximately 45% bcr/abl(+) cells, suggesting that 6 of 14 patients had originally obtained a major cytogenetic response. Conclusions regarding clinical efficacy of ODN marrow purging cannot be drawn from this small pilot study. Nevertheless, these results lead to the speculation that enhanced delivery of ODN, targeted to critical proteins of short half-life, might lead to the development of more effective nucleic acid drugs and the enhanced clinical utility of these compounds in the future.

Abstract
This study details the profile of 13 cell surface cluster differentiation markers on human reserve stem cells derived from connective tissues. Stem cells were isolated from the connective tissues of dermis and skeletal muscle derived from fetal, mature, and geriatric humans. An insulin/dexamethasone phenotypic bioassay was used to determine the identity of the stem cells from each population. All populations contained lineage-committed myogenic, adipogenic, chondrogenic, and osteogenic progenitor stem cells as well as lineage-uncommitted pluripotent stem cells capable of forming muscle, adipocytes, cartilage, bone, fibroblasts, and endothelial cells. Flow cytometric analysis of adult stem cell populations revealed positive staining for CD34 and CD90 and negative staining for CD3, CD4, CD8, CD11c, CD33, CD36, CD38, CD45, CD117, Glycophorin-A, and HLA DR-II.

Abstract
Clonal populations of lineage-uncommitted pluripotent mesenchymal stem cells have been identified in prenatal avians and rodents. These cells reside in the connective tissue matrices of many organs and tissues. They demonstrate extended capabilities for self-renewal and the ability to differentiate into multiple separate tissues within the mesodermal germ line. This study was designed to determine whether such cells are present in the connective tissues of postnatal mammals. This report describes a cell clone derived by isolation from postnatal rat connective tissues, cryopreservation, extended propagation, and serial dilution clonogenic analysis. In the undifferentiated state, this clone demonstrates a high nuclear-to-cytoplasmic ratio and extended capacity for self-renewal. Subsequent morphological, histochemical, and immunochemical analysis after the induction of differentiation revealed phenotypic markers characteristic of multiple cell types of mesodermal origin, such as skeletal muscle, smooth muscle, fat cells, cartilage, and bone. These results indicate that this clone consists of pluripotent mesenchymal stem cells. This report demonstrates that clonal populations of reserve stem cells are present in mammals after birth. Potential roles for such cells in the maintenance, repair, and regeneration of mesodermal tissues are discussed.

Abstract
Paclitaxel and carboplatin chemotherapy is reported to be a platelet-sparing drug combination. This study investigated potential mechanisms for this observation by studying the effects of paclitaxel and carboplatin on (1) normal donor and chemotherapy patient-derived erythroid (burst-forming units-erythroid [BFU-E]), myeloid (colony-forming units-granulocyte/macrophage [CFU-GM]), and megakaryocyte (CFU-Meg) progenitor cell growth; (2) P-glycoprotein (P-gp) protein and glutathione S-transferase (GST) messenger RNA (mRNA) expression; (3) serum thrombopoietin (Tpo), stem cell factor (SCF), interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-11, IL-1beta, IL-8, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha levels in patients treated with paclitaxel and carboplatin; and (4) stromal cell production of Tpo and SCF after paclitaxel and carboplatin exposure. CFU-Meg were more resistant to paclitaxel alone, or in combination with carboplatin, than CFU-GM and BFU-E. Although all progenitors expressed P-gp protein and GST mRNA, verapamil treatment significantly, and selectively, increased the toxicity of paclitaxel and carboplatin to CFU-Meg, suggesting an important role for P-gp in megakaryocyte drug resistance. Compared to normal controls, serum Tpo levels in patients receiving paclitaxel and carboplatin were significantly elevated 5 hours after infusion and remained elevated at day 7 (287% +/- 63% increase, P <.001). Marrow stroma was shown to be the likely source of this Tpo. It is concluded here that P-gp-mediated efflux of paclitaxel, and perhaps GST-mediated detoxification of carboplatin, results in relative sparing of CFU-Meg, which may then respond to locally high levels of stromal cell-derived Tpo. The confluence of these events might lead to the platelet-sparing phenomenon observed in patients treated with paclitaxel and carboplatin chemotherapy.

Abstract
In order to better define the role of HIV-related chemokines in human erythropoiesis we studied: A) the expression of chemokine receptors, both on human CD34(+) cells which include erythroid progenitors and on more mature erythroid cells; B) the functionality of these receptors by calcium flux, chemotaxis assay and phosphorylation of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) p42/44 (ERK1/ERK2) and AKT, and finally C) the influence of chemokines on BFU-E formation. We found that HIV-related chemokine receptor CXCR4, but not CCR5, is detectable on human CD34(+) BFU-E cells. CXCR4 surface expression decreased during erythroid maturation, although CXCR4 mRNA was still present in cells isolated from differentiated erythroid colonies. SDF-1, a CXCR4 ligand, induced calcium flux and phosphorylation of MAPK (p42/44) and AKT in CD34(+)KIT(+) bone marrow mononuclear cells which contain BFU-E, as well as chemotactic activity of both human CD34(+) BFU-E progenitors and erythroid cells isolated from day 2-6 BFU-E colonies. Responsiveness to SDF-1 decreased when the cells differentiated to the point of surface expression of the erythroid-specific marker Glycophorin-A. In contrast, the CCR5 ligands (macrophage inflammatory protein-1alpha [MIP-1alpha], MIP-1beta, and RANTES) did not activate calcium flux, MAPK and AKT phosphorylation or chemotaxis of CD34(+)KIT(+) cells or cells isolated from the BFU-E colonies. Interestingly, none of the chemokines tested in this study had any effect on BFU-E colony formation. In conclusion, only CXCR4 is functional, and its specific ligand SDF-1 may therefore play an important role in the homing and/or retention of early erythroid precursors in the bone marrow environment.

Abstract
AbstractPlatelets play roles in both thrombosis and inflammation, and chemokines that are released at sites of inflammation could potentially activate platelets. Among the chemokine receptors expressed on platelets, the CXCR4 is the receptor for chemokine stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1), and the CCR4 is the receptor for macrophage-derived chemokine (MDC). Of the chemokines tested, SDF-1 and MDC were the only 2 that activated platelets. Both are weak agonists, but they enhanced response to low-dose adenosine 5′-diphosphate (ADP), epinephrine, or serotonin. When SDF-1 and MDC were added together, full and brisk platelet aggregation occurred. Platelet activation by these 2 chemokines appears to involve distinct pathways: SDF-1 inhibited an increase in cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) following prostaglandin (PG) I2, while MDC had no effect. In contrast, MDC, but not SDF-1, lead to Ca++mobilization by platelets. Further, second-wave aggregation induced by MDC in platelet-rich plasma was inhibited by aspirin, ADP scavenger creatine phosphate/creative phosphokinase (CP/CPK), and ARL-66096, an antagonist of the ADP P2TAC receptor involved in adenylyl cyclase inhibition. But the aggregation was not affected by A3P5PS, an inhibitor of the ADP P2Y receptor. SDF-1–induced aggregation was inhibited by aspirin, but it was only slightly affected by CP/CPK, ARL-66096, or A3P5PS. Finally, the presence of chemokines in platelets was determined. Reverse transcriptase–polymerase chain reaction studies with platelet RNA did not detect the presence of SDF-1 or MDC. In summary, SDF-1 and MDC are platelet agonists that activate distinct intracellular pathways. Their importance in the development of thrombosis at sites of inflammation needs to be further evaluated.

Abstract
We characterized CD34+ cells purified from bone marrow (BM), mobilized peripheral blood (PB) and cord blood (CB) and we tried to establish correlations between the cell cycle kinetics of the CD34+CD38- and CD34+CD38+ subpopulations, their sensitivity to SCF and IL-3 and their expression of receptors for these two CSFs. At day 0, significantly fewer immature CD34+CD38- cells from CB and mobilized PB are in S + G2M phases of the cell cycle (respectively 2.0 +/- 0.4 and 0.9 +/- 0.3%) than their BM counterpart (5.6 +/- 1.2%). A 48-h incubation with SCF + IL-3 allows a significant increase in the percentage of cycling CD34+CD38- cells in CB (19.2 +/- 2.2%, P < 0.0002) and PB (14.1 +/- 5.5%, P < 0.05) while the proliferative potential of BM CD34+CD38- progenitors remains constant (8.6 +/- 1.0%, NS). CD123 (IL-3 receptor) expression is similar in the three sources of hematopoietic cells at day 0 and after 48-h culture. CD117 (SCF receptor) expression, although very heterogeneous according to the subpopulations and the sources of progenitors evaluated, seems not to correlate with the difference of progenitor cell sensitivity to SCF nor with their proliferative capacity. Considering the importance of the c-kit/SCF complex in the adhesion of stem cells to the microenvironment, several observations are relevant. The density of CD117 antigen expression (expressed in terms of mean equivalent soluble fluorescence, MESF) is significantly lower on fresh PB cells than on their BM (P < 0.017) and CB (P < 0.004) counterparts, particularly in the immature CD34+CD38- population (560 +/- 131, 2121 +/- 416 and 1192 +/- 129 MESF respectively); moreover, when PB and BM CD34+CD38- cells are stimulated for 48 h with SCF + IL-3, the CD117 expression decreases by 1.5- and 1.66-fold, respectively. This reduction could modify the functional capacities of ex vivo PB and BM manipulated immature progenitor cells.

Abstract
CD34(+) cells are nonpermissive to infection by HIV strains X4 and R5, despite the fact that many CD34(+) cells express high levels of the viral receptor protein CD4 and the coreceptor CXCR4 on their surface. In these cells, the co-receptor CCR5 protein, which, like CXCR4, is a chemokine receptor, is detected mainly intracellularly. We hypothesized that CD34(+) cells secrete CCR5-binding chemokines and that these factors interfere with HIV R5 interactions with these cells, possibly by binding CCR5 or by inducing its internalization. We found that human CD34(+) cells and CD34(+)KIT(+) cells, which are enriched in myeloid progenitor cells, expressed and secreted the CCR5 ligands RANTES, MIP-1alpha, and MIP-1beta and that IFN-gamma stimulated expression of these chemokines. In contrast, SDF-1, a CXCR4 ligand, was not detectable in the CD34(+)KIT(+) cells, even by RT-PCR. Conditioned media from CD34(+) cell culture significantly protected the T lymphocyte cell line PB-1 from infection by R5 but not X4 strains of HIV. Interestingly, the secretion of endogenous chemokines decreased with the maturation of CD34(+) cells, although ex vivo, expanded megakaryoblasts still secreted a significant amount of RANTES. Synthesis of CCR5-binding chemokines by human CD34(+) cells and megakaryoblasts therefore largely determines the susceptibility of these cells to infection by R5 HIV strains. We postulate that therapeutic agents that induce the endogenous synthesis of chemokines in human hematopoietic cells may protect these cells from HIV infection.

Abstract
To identify residual candidate normal progenitor/stem cell populations in childhood B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL), expression of AC133 and CD117 was analysed on the leukaemic cell clone and on immature B-lineage-negative CD34+CD19- bone marrow cells. 10/25 patients (40%) had no detectable expression of AC133 within the leukaemic cell clone. 24/26 patients (92%) lacked expression of CD117 on the leukaemic blast cell population. In contrast, a distinct AC133-positive cell population was found in 8/8 children with AC133-negative ALL and a CD117-positive cell population could be identified in 12/12 children with CD117-negative ALL, within the CD34+CD19- progenitor/stem cell compartment. These observations provide further evidence that in B-cell precursor ALL, unlike in acute myelogenous leukaemia, it may be possible to distinguish residual normal progenitor/stem cells from the leukaemic cell clone.

Abstract
CD123 (alpha-subunit of IL-3 receptor) expression on primitive and committed human hematopoietic cells was studied by multicolor sorting and single-cell culture. The sources of cells included fetal liver (FLV), fetal bone marrow, umbilical cord blood, adult bone marrow and mobilized peripheral blood. Three subsets of CD34+ cells were defined by the levels of surface CD123: CD123negative, CD123low, and CD123bright. Coexpression of lineage markers showed that a majority of CD34+CD123bright cells were myeloid and B-lymphoid progenitors, while erythroid progenitors were mainly in the CD34+CD123negative subset. The CD34+CD123low subset contained a heterogeneous distribution of early and committed progenitor cells. Single CD34+ cells from the CD123 subsets were cultured in a cytokine cocktail of stem cell factor, interleukin 3 (IL-3), IL-6, GM-CSF, erythropoietin, insulin-like growth factor-1, and basic fibroblast growth factor. After 14 days of incubation, a higher cloning efficiency (CE) was observed in the CD34+CD123negative and CD34+CD123low fractions (37+/-23% and 44+/-23%, respectively) than in the CD34+CD123bright fraction (15+/-21%). Using previously published criteria that colonies containing dispersed, translucent cells (dispersed growth pattern, DGP) were derived from primitive cells and that colonies composed solely of clusters were from committed cells, early precursors were distributed evenly in the CD34+CD123negative and CD34+CD123low subsets. When CD38 and CD90 (Thy-1) were used for further characterization of CD34+ cells from FLV, CE increased from 37+/-23% in CD123negative to 70+/-19% in CD123negativeCD38- and from 44+/-23% in CD123low to 66+/-19% in CD123lowCD38-. No significant increase in CE or DGP progenitors was observed when CD34+ cells were sorted by CD90 and CD123. We concluded that: A) high levels of CD123 were expressed on B-lymphoid and myeloid progenitors; B) early erythroid progenitors had little or no surface CD123, and C) primitive hematopoietic cells are characterized by CD123negative/low expression.

Abstract
Because hematopoietic stem cells are rich in aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) activity, we developed a fluorescent substrate for ALDH, termed BODIPY aminoacetaldehyde (BAAA), and tested its potential for isolating primitive human hematopoietic cells. A population of cells with low orthogonal light scattering and bright fluorescence intensity (SSC(lo)ALDH(br) cells) could be readily fractionated from human umbilical cord blood cells costained with BAAA and the multidrug-resistance inhibitor verapamil. The SSC(lo)ALDH(br) population was depleted of lineage-committed cells, 40-90% pure for CD34(+)CD38(lo/-) cells, and enriched 50- to 100-fold for primitive hematopoietic progenitors detected in short- and long-term culture analyses. Together, these observations indicate that fractionating human hematopoietic stem cells on the basis of ALDH activity using BAAA is an effective method for isolating primitive human hematopoietic progenitors. This technique may be useful for isolating stem cells from other tissues as well.

Coreceptor/Chemokine Receptor Expression on Human Hematopoietic Cells: Biological Implications for Human Immunodeficiency Virus–Type 1 Infection. Blood 1999.

Abstract
The recent discovery of chemokine receptors as coreceptors for human immunodeficiency virus–type 1 (HIV-1) entry offers new avenues for investigating the pathogenesis of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)-related cytopenias. To this end, we sought to (1) phenotype human hematopoietic cells for CD4 and the HIV-1 coreceptors CXCR4, CCR5, CCR3, and CCR2b; (2) correlate CD4 and chemokine receptor expression with their susceptibility to HIV-1 infection; and (3) examine any potential interplay between inflammatory cytokines released during HIV-1 infection and regulation of chemokine receptor expression. Fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) analysis of bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMNC), cells derived from serum-free expanded hematopoietic lineages (colony-forming unit–granulocyte-macrophage [CFU-GM], colony-forming unit-megakaryocyte [CFU-Meg], and burst-forming unit-erythroid [BFU-E]), and CD34+ cells showed differential expression of chemokine receptors and CD4 with some lineage specificity. Significantly, FACS-sorted CXCR4+/CD34+ cells had the same clonogeneic potential as CXCR4−/CD34+ cells. Reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis of FACS-sorted human candidate stem cells (HSC; CD34+, c-kit+, Rho123low) showed the presence of CXCR4 mRNA but not CD4 mRNA. Infection studies with HIV-1 Env-pseudotyped luciferase reporter viruses indicated that X4 Env (CXCR4-using) pseudotypes infected megakaryocytic cells, whereas R5 Env (CCR5-using) pseudotypes did not. Similarly, R5 but not X4 Env-pseudotyped viruses infected granulocyte-macrophage cells in a CD4/CCR5-dependent manner. Erythroid cells were resistant to R5 or X4 viral infection. Finally, we found that γ-interferon treatment upregulated CXCR4 expression on primary hematopoietic cells. In summary, the delineation of chemokine receptor expression on primary hematopoietic cells is a first step towards dissecting the chemokine-chemokine receptor axes that may play a role in hematopoietic cell proliferation and homing. Furthermore, susceptibility of hematopoietic cells to HIV-1 infection is likely to be more complicated than the mere physical presence of CD4 and the cognate chemokine receptor. Lastly, our results suggest a potential interplay between γ-interferon secretion and CXCR4 expression.

Abstract
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and placental derived growth factor (PlGF) stimulate cell proliferation and differentiation by binding to their specific receptors, Flk-1/KDR and Flt-1 respectively. Flk-1/KDR-deficient murine embryos manifest failure of blood-island formation and vasculogenesis. The aim of this study was to directly evaluate the importance of VEGF, PlGF/Flt-1 and Flk-1/KDR receptor ligand interactions in regulating normal and malignant human haemopoiesis. Addition of VEGF and PlGF failed to enhance survival or cloning efficiency of human haemopoietic progenitors isolated from adult bone marrows, fetal livers or cord blood samples. This finding may be explained by the apparent absence of mRNA encoding Flt-1 and Flk-1/KDR receptors on stem cell rich CD34+ c-kit-R+ Rh123(low) cells. Further studies revealed that Fit-1 R mRNA, but not Flk-1/KDR mRNA was first detectable in the more mature cells isolated from haemopoietic colonies. Accordingly, VEGF receptors are either absent, or expressed at very low level, on human haemopoietic stem/progenitor cells. Of interest, normal and malignant human haemopoietic cells appeared to secrete VEGF protein. However, in contrast to normal haemopoietic progenitors, VEGF co-stimulated HEL cell proliferation as well as CFU-GM colony formation from approximately 15% of the chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) and acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) patients studied. Therefore, although VEGF appeared to have minimal effects on normal haemopoietic cell growth it would appear to drive malignant haemopoietic cell proliferation to some degree. Of more importance, however, we speculate that VEGF may play an very important role in leukaemogenesis by stimulating growth of vascular endothelium, thereby providing a sufficient blood supply to feed the growing haematological tumour.
