Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo explore the characteristics of CD(34)(+) CD(59)(+) cells from paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria(PNH) patients' bone marrow and the possible reasons of hematopoietic clonal dominance of PNH clones.
METHODSCD(34)(+) CD(59)(+) and CD(34)(+) CD(59)(-) cells from PNH patients and CD(34)(+) cells from normal control were selected from the bone marrow mononuclear cells by means of immunomagnetic microbead-flow cytometry two step sorting method undergone ex vivo expansion in liquid culture for two weeks and performed semisolid cultures before and after expansion.
RESULTS(1) Cultivation for seven days was the optimum for ex vivo expansion of PNH CD(34)(+) CD(59)(+) cells and normal CD(34)(+) cells, both cell populations remained CD(59) positive after expansion. (2) Normal CD(34)(+) cells had higher capacities of proliferation and expansion, and stronger potential to survival than that of both PNH CD(34)(+) CD(59)(+) and PHN CD(34)(+) CD(59)(-) cells. (3) In terms of semisolid culture, there was no significant difference in the yields of CFU formation between CD(34)(+) CD(59)(+) and CD(34)(+) CD(59)(-) cells. (4) In liquid culture with combinations of hematopoietic factors SCF + IL-3 + IL-6 + FL + Tpo or SCF + IL-3 + IL-6 + FL + Tpo + Epo, there was no significant difference in the capabilities of survival, proliferation and expansion between CD(34)(+) CD(59)(+) and CD(34)(+) CD(59)(-) cells; but with combination of SCF + IL-3 + IL-6 + FL + Tpo + Epo + GM-CSF, CD(34)(+) CD(59)(-) cells had better proliferation and expansion capacities and stronger potential to survival than that of CD(34)(+) CD(59)(+) cells.
CONCLUSIONS(1) Normal CD(34)(+) cells had better proliferation, expansion capacities and stronger potential to survival than that of PNH CD(34)(+) CD(59)(+)cells. (2) In semisolid and liquid culture with hematopoietic factor combinations, there was no significant difference in the capabilities of survival, proliferation and expansion between CD(34)(+) CD(59)(+) and CD(34)(+) CD(59)(-) cells. It was suggested that CD(34)(+) CD(59)(-) cells had no clonal hemotopoiesis dominance. GM-CSF might be one of the reasons for PHN clones to possess clonal hematopoiesis dominance.
