چکیده
Although hematopoietic growth factors have been extensively studied as to their roles in recruitment of hematopoietic progenitors from quiescence state to cell division state, little is known of their effects on cell-cycling of progenitors that have already transited from quiescence into active cell-cycling. We examined the effects of the flt3 ligand (FL) on cell-cycling of hematopoietic progenitors in serum-free culture. Results from our serial observations of colony formation and replating experiments suggest that FL enhances the rate of growth of interleukin-3 (IL-3)-dependent colonies by shortening the time for each progenitor in the colonies to divide. Cell-cycle analysis showed that shortening of cell-cycle time induced by FL is mainly because of alteration in the G1 phase that hematopoietic progenitors go through. We next investigated the role of transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) in cell-cycling of progenitors, using TGF-beta protein and TGF-beta antisense oligonucleotides, because mRNA of TGF-beta was detected by reverse transcriptase polymerase reaction in blast cells that we used as a source of progenitors. TGF-beta lengthened the time required for IL-3-dependent progenitors to become two daughter cells, whereas the effects of TGF-beta antisense oligonucleotides were opposite to those of TGF-beta. The addition of TGF-beta neutralizing monoclonal antibodies to the cultures resulted in effects similar to those seen with TGF-beta antisense oligonucleotides. DNA studies indicated that both TBF-beta and TGF-beta antisense oligonucleotides change the length of G1 phase of the cell-cycle. TGF-beta abrogated the effects of FL on the growth rate of hematopoietic progenitors, whereas the combination of FL with TGF-beta antisense oligonucleotides exerted additive effects. These data show that FL has the potential to accelerate cell-cycling of hematopoietic progenitors, which is susceptible to the modulation by TGF-beta.

High proliferative potential-quiescent cells: a working model to study primitive quiescent hematopoietic cells.
Human adult hematopoietic stem cells are mostly quiescent or slow cycling. We have previously demonstrated that blocking of transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) is able to activate, in the presence of cytokines, primitive quiescent hematopoietic multipotent progenitors which could not grow in a two week semi-solid culture assay (short term culture). We have also shown that anti-TGF-beta...

Many investigators have used xenogeneic, especially murine stromal cells and fetal calf serum to maintain and expand human stem cells. The proliferation and expansion of human hematopoietic stem cells in ex vivo culture were examined with the goal of generating a suitable protocol for expanding hematopoietic stem cells for patient transplantation. Using primary fetal liver cells, we established...

The recently cloned flt3 ligand (FL) stimulates the growth of primitive hematopoietic progenitor cells through synergistic interactions with multiple other cytokines. The present study is the first demonstrating cytokines capable of inhibiting FL-stimulated hematopoietic cell growth. Tumor necrosis factor-cu (TNF-(U) and transforming growth factor-/3l (TGF-pI) potently inhibited the clonal gro...

We have used antisense oligonucleotides to study the roles of transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) and the two antioncogenes, retinoblastoma susceptibility (Rb) and p53, in the negative regulation of proliferation of early hematopoietic cells in culture. The antisense TGF-beta sequence significantly enhanced the frequency of colony formation by multi-lineage, early erythroid, and granulom...

In contrast with the extensively characterized effects of transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) on proliferation and differentiation of hematopoietic progenitors, little is known about the effects of TGF-beta on viability of normal hematopoietic progenitors. In the present report, we demonstrate that TGF-beta potently counteracts hematopoietic growth factor (HGF)-induced survival of indivi...
