Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo study the separation, purification and ex vivo expansion of CD(34)(+) CD(59)(+) cells from patients with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH), and explore the new treatment for the PNH patients.
METHODSCD(34)(+) CD(59)(+) cells were selected from the bone marrow mononuclear cells of PNH patients by means of immunomagnetic microbead-flow cytometry two step sorting method, followed by ex vivo expansion of the cells with combination of hematopoietic factors for two weeks.
RESULTSThe best combination for the ex vivo expansion was SCF + IL-3 + IL-6 + FL + Tpo + Epo, and the seventh day was the most suitable time for the best harvest when the CD(34)(+) CD(59)(+) cells were 22.42 +/- 3.73 fold expanded. After ex vivo expansion, the cells remained CD(59) positive and potent capacity of colony formation, but their potentialities to multilineage differentiation were decreased.
CONCLUSIONThe present study shows that ex vivo expansion of CD(34)(+) CD(59)(+) cells from PNH patients might promise the possibility of performing ABMT or APBSCT clinincally for the patients.
