A physiological model of granulopoiesis to predict clinical drug induced neutropenia from in vitro bone marrow studies: with application to a cell cycle inhibitor.

ABSTRACT: Neutropenia is one of the most common dose-limiting toxocities associated with anticancer drug therapy. The ability to predict the probability and severity of neutropenia based on in vitro studies of drugs in early drug development will aid in advancing safe and efficacious compounds to human testing. Toward this end, a physiological model of granulopoiesis and its regulation is presented that includes the bone marrow progenitor cell cycle, allowing for a mechanistic representation of the action of relevant anticancer drugs based on in vitro studies. Model development used data from previously reported tracer kinetic studies of granulocyte disposition in healthy humans to characterize the dynamics of neutrophil margination in the presence of endogenous granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF). In addition, previously published data from healthy volunteers following pegfilgrastim and filgrastim were used to quantify the regulatory effects of support G-CSF therapies on granulopoiesis. The model was evaluated for the cell cycle inhibitor palbociclib, using an in vitro system of human bone marrow mononuclear cells to quantify the action of palbociclib on proliferating progenitor cells, including its inhibitory effect on G1 to S phase transition. The in vitro results were incorporated into the physiological model of granulopoiesis and used to predict the time course of absolute neutrophil count (ANC) and the incidence of neutropenia observed in three previously reported clinical trials of palbociclib. The model was able to predict grade 3 and 4 neutropenia due to palbociclib treatment with 86% accuracy based on in vitro data.

Increased Granulopoiesis in the Bone Marrow following Epstein-Barr Virus Infection.

Project description:Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is associated with several disorders. EBV is known to modulate the proliferation and survival of hematopoietic cells such as B cells and T cells in human. However, the effects of EBV on hematopoiesis itself have not been investigated. To study EBV infection in murine models, their hematopoiesis must be humanized, since EBV infection is limited only in primates. To engraft the human hematopoiesis, NOD/Shi-scid-IL2rγnull (NOG) mice were used. Usually, the hematopoiesis humanized mice reconstitute only lymphoid cells, but myeloid cells are not. However, we revealed human macrophages (hMφ) and their precursor monocytes were increased in peripheral tissues of EBV-infected mice. Furthermore, our previous report indicated Mφ accumulation in spleen was essential for development of EBV-positive tumors, suggesting that EBV modulates human hematopoiesis in order to thrive. Interestingly, we revealed a dramatic increase of immature granulocytes only in bone marrow of EBV-infected mice. In addition, GM-CSF, a cytokine that is essential for differentiation of the myeloid lineage, was significantly increased in EBV-infected mice. These results were also reproduced in patients with EBV-related disorders. We suggest that the hematopoietic alterations during EBV-infection might contribute immune suppression to the development and exacerbation of EBV-related disorders.

MicroRNA profiling in human neutrophils during bone marrow granulopoiesis and in vivo exudation.

Project description:The purpose of this study was to describe the microRNA (miRNA) expression profiles of neutrophils and their precursors from the initiation of granulopoiesis in the bone marrow to extravasation and accumulation in skin windows. We analyzed three different cell populations from human bone marrow, polymorphonuclear neutrophil (PMNs) from peripheral blood, and extravasated PMNs from skin windows using the Affymetrix 2.0 platform. Our data reveal 135 miRNAs differentially regulated during bone marrow granulopoiesis. The majority is differentially regulated between the myeloblast/promyelocyte (MB/PM) and myelocyte/metamyelocyte (MC/MM) stages of development. These 135 miRNAs were divided into six clusters according to the pattern of their expression. Several miRNAs demonstrate a pronounced increase or reduction at the transition between MB/PM and MC/MM, which is associated with cell cycle arrest and the initiation of terminal differentiation. Seven miRNAs are differentially up-regulated between peripheral blood PMNs and extravasated PMNs and only one of these (miR-132) is also differentially regulated during granulopoiesis. The study indicates that several different miRNAs participate in the regulation of normal granulopoiesis and that miRNAs might also regulate activities of extravasated neutrophils. The data present the miRNA profiles during the development and activation of the neutrophil granulocyte in healthy humans and thus serves as a reference for further research of normal and malignant granulocytic development.

The role of CD40/CD40 ligand interactions in bone marrow granulopoiesis.

Project description:The CD40 ligand (CD40L) and CD40 are two molecules belonging to the TNF/TNF receptor superfamily, and their role in adaptive immune system has widely been explored. However, the wide range of expression of these molecules on hematopoietic as well as nonhematopoietic cells has revealed multiple functions of the CD40/CD40L interactions on different cell types and processes such as granulopoiesis. CD40 triggering on stromal cells has been documented to enhance the expression of granulopoiesis growth factors such as granulocyte-colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) and granulocyte/monocyte-colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), and upon disruption of the CD40/CD40L-signaling pathway, as in the case of X-linked hyperimmunoglobulin M (IgM) syndrome (XHIGM), it can lead to neutropenia. In chronic idiopathic neutropenia (CIN) of adults, however, under the influence of an inflammatory microenvironment, CD40L plays a role in granulocytic progenitor cell depletion, providing thus a pathogenetic cause of CIN.

In vitro erythropoiesis from bone marrow-derived progenitors provides a physiological assay for toxic and mutagenic compounds.

Project description:The goal of this study was to create an in vitro cell culture system that captures essential features of the in vivo erythroid micronucleus (MN) genotoxicity assay, thus enabling increased throughput and controlled studies of the hematopoietic DNA damage response. We show that adult bone marrow (BM) cultures respond to erythropoietin, the principal hormone that stimulates erythropoiesis, with physiological erythropoietic proliferation, differentiation, and enucleation. We then show that this in vitro erythropoietic system clearly signals exposure to genotoxicants through erythroid MN formation. Furthermore, we determined that DNA repair-deficient (MGMT(-/-)) BM displayed sensitivity to genotoxic exposure in vivo compared with WT BM and that this phenotypic response was reflected in erythropoietic cultures. These findings suggest that this in vitro erythroid MN assay is capable of screening for genotoxicity on BM in a physiologically reflective manner. Finally, responses to genotoxicants during erythroid differentiation varied with exposure time, demonstrating that this system can be used to study the effect of DNA damage at specific developmental stages.

Frequency of benign neutropenia among Black versus White individuals undergoing a bone marrow assessment.

Project description:Healthy individuals in the United States identified as having Black race have lower neutrophil counts, on average, than individuals identified as having White race, which could result in more negative diagnostic evaluations for neutropenia. To test this hypothesis, the proportion of evaluations where the final diagnosis was clinically insignificant neutropenia for Black and White individuals who underwent an evaluation by a haematologist that included a bone marrow (BM) biopsy to investigate neutropenia was assessed. 172 individuals without prior haematological diagnoses who underwent a haematological evaluation to investigate neutropenia. Individuals diagnosed with clinically insignificant neutropenia between Black and White individuals were compared using a propensity-score-adjusted logistic regression. Of 172 individuals, 42 (24%) were classified as Black race, 86 (50%) were males, and the 79 (46%) were over 18 years old. A BM biopsy did not identify pathology in 95% (40 of 42) of Black individuals and 68% (89 of 130) of White Individuals. Black individuals (25 of 42 [60%]) received a final diagnosis of clinically insignificant neutropenia, compared to White individuals (12 of 130 [9%]) (adjusted odds ratio =7.9, 95% CI: 3.1 - 21.1). We conclude that black individuals were more likely to receive a diagnosis of clinically insignificant neutropenia after haematological assessment.

Reactive Oxygen Species-Producing Myeloid Cells Act as a Bone Marrow Niche for Sterile Inflammation-Induced Reactive Granulopoiesis.

Project description:Both microbial infection and sterile inflammation augment bone marrow (BM) neutrophil production, but whether the induced accelerated granulopoiesis is mediated by a common pathway and the nature of such a pathway are poorly defined. We recently established that BM myeloid cell-derived reactive oxygen species (ROS) externally regulate myeloid progenitor proliferation and differentiation in bacteria-elicited emergency granulopoiesis. In this article, we show that BM ROS levels are also elevated during sterile inflammation. Similar to in microbial infection, ROS were mainly generated by the phagocytic NADPH oxidase in Gr1+ myeloid cells. The myeloid cells and their ROS were uniformly distributed in the BM when visualized by multiphoton intravital microscopy, and ROS production was both required and sufficient for sterile inflammation-elicited reactive granulopoiesis. Elevated granulopoiesis was mediated by ROS-induced phosphatase and tensin homolog oxidation and deactivation, leading to upregulated PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 signaling and increased progenitor cell proliferation. Collectively, these results demonstrate that, although infection-induced emergency granulopoiesis and sterile inflammation-elicited reactive granulopoiesis are triggered by different stimuli and are mediated by distinct upstream signals, the pathways converge to NADPH oxidase-dependent ROS production by BM myeloid cells. Thus, BM Gr1+ myeloid cells represent a key hematopoietic niche that supports accelerated granulopoiesis in infective and sterile inflammation. This niche may be an excellent target in various immune-mediated pathologies or immune reconstitution after BM transplantation.

Gene expression in systemic lupus erythematosus: bone marrow analysis differentiates active from inactive disease and reveals apoptosis and granulopoiesis signatures.

Project description:ObjectiveThe cells of the immune system originate from the bone marrow, where many of them also mature. This study was undertaken to examine gene expression in the bone marrow of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), in order to better understand the aberrant immune response in this disease.MethodsBone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMCs) from 20 SLE patients (11 with active disease and 9 with inactive disease) and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from 27 patients (16 with active disease and 11 with inactive disease) were studied; BMMCs and PBMCs from 7 healthy individuals and 3 osteoarthritis patients were studied as controls. Samples were analyzed on genome-scale DNA microarrays, with 21,329 genes represented.ResultsWe identified 102 genes involved in various biologic processes that were differentially expressed between patient and control BMMCs; 53 of them are genes that are involved in major networks, including cell death, growth, signaling, and proliferation. Comparative analysis revealed 88 genes that were differentially expressed between bone marrow and blood, the majority of which are involved in cell growth and differentiation, cellular movement and morphology, immune response, and other hematopoietic cell functions. Unsupervised clustering of highly expressed genes revealed 2 major SLE patient clusters (active disease and inactive disease) based on gene expression in bone marrow, but not in peripheral blood. The up-regulated genes in the bone marrow of patients with active disease included genes involved in cell death and granulopoiesis.ConclusionMicroarray analysis of the bone marrow differentiated active from inactive SLE and provided further evidence of the role of apoptosis and granulocytes in the pathogenesis of the disease.

Cell cycle quiescence of early lymphoid progenitors in adult bone marrow.

Project description:Lymphocyte production in bone marrow (BM) requires substantial cell division, but the relationship between largely quiescent stem cells and dividing lymphoid progenitors is poorly understood. Therefore, the proliferation and cell cycle status of murine hematopoietic progenitors that have just initiated the lymphoid differentiation program represented the focus of this study. Continuous bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (BrdU) incorporation and DNA/RNA analysis by flow cytometry revealed that a surprisingly large fraction of RAG-1(+)c-kit(hi) early lymphoid progenitors (ELPs) and RAG-1(+)c-kit(lo) pro-lymphocytes (Pro-Ls) in adult BM were in cell cycle quiescence. In contrast, their counterparts in 14-day fetal liver actively proliferated. Indeed, the growth fraction (cells in G(1)-S-G(2)-M phases) of fetal ELPs was on average 80% versus only 30% for adult ELPs. After 5-fluorouracil treatment, as many as 60% of the adult ELP-enriched population was in G(1)-S-G(2)-M and 34% incorporated BrdU in 6 hours. Transcripts for Bcl-2, p21Cip1/Waf1, and p27 Kip1 cell cycle regulatory genes correlated inversely well with proliferative activity. Interestingly, adult lymphoid progenitors in rebound had the high potential for B lymphopoiesis in culture typical of their fetal counterparts. Thus, lymphocyte production is sustained during adult life by quiescent primitive progenitors that divide intermittently. Some, but not all, aspects of the fetal differentiation program are reacquired after chemotherapy.

Genetic associations in acquired immune-mediated bone marrow failure syndromes: insights in aplastic anemia and chronic idiopathic neutropenia.

Project description:Increasing interest on the field of autoimmune diseases has unveiled a plethora of genetic factors that predispose to these diseases. However, in immune-mediated bone marrow failure syndromes, such as acquired aplastic anemia and chronic idiopathic neutropenia, in which the pathophysiology results from a myelosuppressive bone marrow microenvironment mainly due to the presence of activated T lymphocytes, leading to the accelerated apoptotic death of the hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells, such genetic associations have been very limited. Various alleles and haplotypes of human leucocyte antigen (HLA) molecules have been implicated in the predisposition of developing the above diseases, as well as polymorphisms of inhibitory cytokines such as interferon-γ, tumor necrosis factor-α, and transforming growth factor-β1 along with polymorphisms on molecules of the immune system including the T-bet transcription factor and signal transducers and activators of transcription. In some cases, specific polymorphisms have been implicated in the outcome of treatment on those patients.
