Differential bone marrow stem cell mobilization by G-CSF injection or arterial ligation in baboons.

ABSTRACT: Bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs) are mobilized in response to ischemic attacks, e.g. myocardial infarction, to repair the damage, or by cytokines, e.g. granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), which is used to harvest BMSCs for autologous transplantation. In order to optimize BMSC mobilization strategy for cardiovascular repair, we investigated whether BMSCs mobilized by G-CSF share the same subtype profile as that by ischemia in a non-human primate model. We subjected five baboons to subcutaneous G-CSF injection and five baboons to femoral artery ligation. Blood BMSCs were measured by surface antigens; functional differentiation to endothelial cells (ECs) was assessed by colony-forming capacity, expression of mature EC antigens and tube-like formation. The number of circulating CD34+/CD45RA- cells spiked on day 3 post-stimulation in both groups. While the number of CD34+ cells released by artery ligation was 2-fold lower by comparison with the number released by G-CSF administration, significantly more CD133+/KDR+/CXCR4+/CD31+ cells were detected in the baboons that underwent artery ligation. After culture in endothelial growth medium, mononuclear cells from baboons with artery ligation formed more EC colonies and more capillary-like tubes (P < 0.05), expressed higher vWF and phagocytosed more Dil-Ac-LDL (P < 0.05). While G-CSF and artery ligation can mobilize BMSCs capable of differentiating into ECs, BMSCs mobilized by the artery ligation simulating in vivo ischemic attacks have higher potential for vascular differentiation. Our findings demonstrate that different mobilization forces release different sets of BMSCs that may have different capacity for cardiovascular differentiation.

Project description:BackgroundOur previous studies have proved the efficient exogenous repairing responses via bone marrow stem and progenitor cells (BMSPCs). However, the trafficking of endogenous bone marrow stem and progenitor cells to and from the bone marrow (BM) is a highly regulated process that remains to be elucidated. We aimed to study the relative importance of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis in the glucocorticoid-induced BMSPC mobilization.MethodsThe circulating mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) were examined in Crh (+/+, -/-) mice after running stress or glucocorticoid mini-infusion. The MSCs and EPCs were investigated ex vivo after treatment with glucocorticoid and glucocorticoid receptor (GR) antagonist, RU486. The expression of chemotaxis receptors, N-formyl peptide receptor (FPR), and Cys-X-Cys receptor 4 (CXCR4) of MSCs and EPCs as well as their colocalization were investigated after treatment with glucocorticoid, glucocorticoid receptor (GR) antagonist (RU486), and FPR antagonist (Cyclosporin H).ResultsForced running stress increased circulating MSCs and EPCs in mice, which was blunted when Crh was knocked out, and positively related to the levels of serum glucocorticoid. Prolonged glucocorticoid mini-infusion imitated the stress-induced increase in circulating MSCs and EPCs in Crh+/+ mice and rescued the impaired mobilization in circulating MSCs and EPCs in Crh-/- mice. Meanwhile, glucocorticoid promoted the chemotaxis of MSCs and EPCs ex vivo via GR, inhibited by RU486 (10 μM). Concurrently, glucocorticoid increased the expression of FPR of MSCs and EPCs, but inhibited their expression of CXCR4, followed by their changing colocalization in the cytoplasm. The GC-induced colocalization of FPR and CXCR4 was blunted by Cyclosporin H (1 μM).ConclusionGlucocorticoid-induced CXCR4-FPR responsiveness selectively guides the mobilization of BMSPCs, which is essential to functional tissue repair. Schematic view of the role of glucocorticoid on the mobilization of bone marrow-derived stem/progenitor cells subsets in the present study. The HPA axis activation promotes the release of glucocorticoid, which regulates the directional migration of MSCs and EPCs mainly via GR. The possible mechanisms refer to the signal coupling of FPR and CXCR4. Their two-sided changes regulated by glucocorticoid are involved in the egress of MSCs and EPCs from BM, which is helpful for wound healing.

Project description:BackgroundWe assessed the mechanism of hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) mobilization using etoposide with granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF), and determined how this mechanism differs from that induced by cyclophosphamide with G-CSF or G-CSF alone.MethodsWe compared the clinical features of 173 non-Hodgkin's lymphoma patients who underwent autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (auto-PBSCT). Additionally, we performed in vitro experiments to assess the changes in human bone marrow stromal cells (hBMSCs), which support the HSCs in the bone marrow (BM) niche, following cyclophosphamide or etoposide exposure. We also performed animal studies under standardized conditions to ensure the following: exclude confounding factors, mimic the conditions in clinical practice, and identify the changes in the BM niche caused by etoposide-induced chemo-mobilization or other mobilization methods.ResultsRetrospective analysis of the clinical data revealed that the etoposide with G-CSF mobilization group showed the highest yield of CD34+ cells and the lowest change in white blood cell counts during mobilization. In in vitro experiments, etoposide triggered interleukin (IL)-8 secretion from the BMSCs and caused long-term BMSC toxicity. To investigate the manner in which the hBMSC-released IL-8 affects hHSCs in the BM niche, we cultured hHSCs with or without IL-8, and found that the number of total, CD34+, and CD34+/CD45- cells in IL-8-treated cells was significantly higher than the respective number in hHSCs cultured without IL-8 (p = 0.014, 0.020, and 0.039, respectively). Additionally, the relative expression of CXCR2 (an IL-8 receptor), and mTOR and c-MYC (components of IL-8-related signaling pathways) increased 1 h after IL-8 treatment. In animal studies, the etoposide with G-CSF mobilization group presented higher IL-8-related cytokine and MMP9 expression and lower SDF-1 expression in the BM, compared to the groups not treated with etoposide.ConclusionCollectively, the unique mechanism of etoposide with G-CSF-induced mobilization is associated with IL-8 secretion from the BMSCs, which is responsible for the enhanced proliferation and mobilization of HSCs in the bone marrow; this was not observed with mobilization using cyclophosphamide with G-CSF or G-CSF alone. However, the long-term toxicity of etoposide toward BMSCs emphasizes the need for the development of more efficient and safe chemo-mobilization strategies.
