This study was to investigate the differential regulation of CCR5 expression on T cells in healthy donors after mobilization with recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (rhG-CSF) and analyze its correlation with acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) so as to understand the possible mechanisms underlying rhG-CSF-induced immune tolerance. Sixty-eight related healthy donor and their corresponding recipient for allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) were enrolled in this study. The expression of CCR5 on CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells in the peripheral blood (PB) before and after mobilization were detected by using flow cytometry (FCM) respectively. According to the changes of CCR5 expression on CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells, the Sixty-two evaluable donors were divided into the downregulated and unchanged/upregulated (non-downregulated) groups, and the incidence of grades II to IV aGVHD in two groups were compared. The results showed that the mean value of CCR5 expression on CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells in PB was not different significantly after mobilization (P > 0.05). Apparent inconsistency was showed among different individuals. Thirty-four (50%) donors displayed downregulation of CCR5 expression, while 34 (50%) donors manifested unchanged or upregulated CCR5 expression on CD4(+) T cells. CCR5 expression on CD8(+) T cells was downregulated in 42 (61.8%), unchanged or upregulated in 26 (38.3%) donors. The cumulative incidence of grades II to IV aGVHD in the downregulated and non-downregulated groups for CD4(+) T cells were 16.1% and 41.9% (P = 0.032), and recipients with CCR5 downregulation on CD8(+) T cells showed an increased tendency of developing aGVHD (37.8% vs 16.0%, P = 0.065). In conclusion, rhG-CSF mobilization could lead to differential regulation of CCR5 expression on T cells, which might influence the migration of T cells in vivo, decrease T cell trafficking towards GVHD target organs, and thus reduce the incidence of aGVHD after transplantation.

To systematically clarify the effects of apolipoprotein E (aopE) and low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) gene mutant on hyperlipidemia, vascular inflammation impairment and pathogenesis of atherosclerosis (AS), total RNA was isolated from fresh aortas of young apoE/LDLR double knockout (apoE(-/-)/LDLR(-/-)) and wild type (WT) mice using TRIzol reagent. Then RNA was reversely transcribed to first-strand cDNA by reverse transcriptase for reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and real-time RT-PCR. Primer pairs were designed using primer design software according to the gene sequences available in GenBank. β-actin was used as an internal control. Then RT-PCR assay was used to analyze the expression patterns of interleukin-1β (IL-1β), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB), granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), CD36, endothelin-1 (ET-1), toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2), monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), vascular adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and platelet-derived growth factor-α (PDGF-α). SYBR Green quantitative real-time RT-PCR was used to validate gene expressions identified by RT-PCR. Blood samples were taken from the retro-orbital venous plexus, and serum levels of total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) were measured by using biochemical techniques. Serum concentrations of circulating TNF-α, IL-1β and oxidized LDL (ox-LDL) were determined by ELISA. Frozen sections of aortic sinus were stained with Sudan IV to visualize intimal fatty lesions. The results showed that the relative expressions of IL-1β, GM-CSF, ET-1, TLR2, CD36, MCP-1, ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 in apoE(-/-)/LDLR(-/-) mice at the age of 1 month were higher than those in age-matched WT mice (P<0.05, P<0.01), respectively. The expressions of PDGF-α and TNF-α in apoE(-/-)/LDLR(-/-) mice at the age of 2 months were up-regulated compared to those in age-matched WT mice (P<0.05). All the expressions of target genes continued to be up-regulated (P<0.05, P<0.01) except that ET-1 expression at the age of 2 months, TLR2, VCAM-1 and ICAM-1 expressions at the age of 3 months were down-regulated to that in WT mice. NF-κB expression had no significant changes between two genotype mice at different ages. All the gene expressions kept unchanged in WT mice at different ages, except that IL-1b expressions were slightly up-regulated at the ages of 2 and 3 months. Serum levels of TC, TG, LDL, HDL, TNF-α, IL-1β and ox-LDL in apoE(-/-)/LDLR(-/-) mice at different ages were higher than those in age-matched WT mice (P<0.05, P<0.01), and were increasing with age. Primary atherosclerotic lesions were observed in 1-month old apoE(-/-)/LDLR(-/-) mice and were progressing with age. There were no lesions observed in all WT mice at different ages. The data suggest that hyperlipidemia due to apoE and LDLR gene mutant may stimulate the temporal expressions of AS-related genes and contribute to primary atherogenetic lesions and vascular inflammation impairment.

To evaluate soluble GM-CSF-Ralpha expression in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and its clinic significance, plasma concentration of solGM-Ralpha in de novo 66 patients with AML was detected by enzyme-linked immuno-sorbent assay, and the relationship between solGM-Ralpha levels and various clinical parameters was analyzed. The result showed that the levels of solGM-Ralpha in plasma of patients with AML were significantly higher than that in plasma of normal controls; the lowest level of solGM-Ralpha was found in plasma of patients with AML-M3 (3897.75 +/- 2651.43 pg/ml), the highest level of solGM-Ralpha was observed in plasma of patients with AML-M5 (9990.92 +/- 6325.43 pg/ml). Patients with high level of solGM-Ralpha were generally accompanied with a distinct clinical picture, including higher counts of white blood cell and myeloid precursors, as well as higher expression of CD34, CD95 and CD116 antigen. It is concluded that the high level of solGM-Ralpha in plasma of patients may suggest AML poor prognosis and play a role in pathogenesis of leukemia, the GM-CSF and its receptor solGM-Ralpha needs further study.

OBJECTIVETo study the response of hematopoietic cells (HSC) to granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) in paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) patients.

METHODS(1) Bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMNC) from 17 PNH patients and 12 normal subjects were inoculated into semisolid culture media containing or not G-CSF (50 ng/ml). The cluster/colony forming unit-granulocyte/monocyte (CFU/cFU-GM) were counted and compared. (2) BMMNC of 20 PNH patients and 12 normal controls were triply stained for CD34, CD59 and G-CSF receptor CD114/stem cell factor receptor (C-KIT) CD117 and assessed by FCM. The CD34(+) cells were identified as CD34(+)/CD59(+) and CD34(+)/CD59(-). Percentage of CD114 and CD117 expression in each cell population was calculated.

RESULTS(1) PNH cFU-GM without G-CSF were (112.41 +/- 22.74)/10(5) BMMNC, while with G-CSF: (133.82 +/- 25.85)/10(5) BMMNC and normal cFU-GM were (190.33 +/- 36.05)/10(5) BMMNC, (309.42 +/- 92.94)/10(5) BMMNC, respectively. Whether with or without G-CSF, PNH BMMNC formed less cFU-GM than control did, both of the two kinds of BMMNC responded to G-CSF well (P < 0.05), but the increment of PNH cFU-GM yields was less than that of the normal control (P < 0.05). CFU-GM yields of PNH BMMNC without G-CSF were (24.29 +/- 9.05)/10(5) BMMNC, with G-CSF were (27.53 +/- 10.65)/10(5) BMMNC, while normal control were (77.42 +/- 36.01)/10(5) BMMNC and (98.00 +/- 43.14)/10(5) BMMNC, respectively. Whether with or without G-CSF, PNH BMMNC showed less CFU-GM yields than that of control (P < 0.05). (2) The percentage of CD114 positive cells in PNH CD34(+)CD59(+) BMMNC was (73.34 +/- 29.40)% and that in PNH CD34(+)CD59(-) BMMNC and in control CD34(+)CD59(+) BMMNC were (32.70 +/- 6.89)% and (58.52 +/- 29.99)%, respectively. The percentage of CD114 expression in PNH CD34(+) CD59(-) BMMNC was less than that in the other two groups (P < 0.05). The percentages of CD117 positivities on the PNH CD34(+)CD59(+) BMMNC were (76.90 +/- 22.08)%, PNH CD34(+) CD59(-) (36.03 +/- 7.69)% and control CD34(+) CD59(+) (80.28 +/- 13.36)%, respectively (P < 0.01).

CONCLUSIONIn vitro, BMMNC of normal control grow better, and respond better to G-CSF than PNH BMMNC do. PNH CD34(+)CD59(-) BMMNC express less G-CSF receptor and C-KIT than PNH CD34(+)CD59(+) and normal CD34(+)CD59(+) BMMNC do, which may be the reason that abnormal PNH clone grow worse than the normal clones do.

This study was aimed to explore the role of human fetal bone marrow stromal cells (FBMSC) in combination with exogenous cytokines in supporting the in vitro expansion of cord blood mononuclear cells and the expression of CXCR4(+) and CD49d(+) in CD34(+) cells. Mononuclear cells (MNC) separated from cord blood (CB) were cultured in a serum-free support culture system with FBMSC or exogenous cytokines or both of them. On day 0, 6, 10 and 14, total cells were counted, CD34(+), CD34(+)CXCR4(+) and CD34(+)CD49d(+) cells were quantitated by FACS, and hematopoietic progenitor cells were assessed by semisolid culture assay. The results showed that after culturing for 14 days, CD34(+) cells, CD34(+)CXCR4(+) cells, CD34(+) CD49d(+) cells and colony forming unit (CFU) were significantly increased (P < 0.05). Compared with other groups, expansion multiple of CD34(+), CD34(+)CXCR4(+), CD34(+)CD49d(+) cells and CFU were higher than that in FBMSC and cytokine group (P < 0.05). It is concluded that the culture system used in this study can not only support the expansion of CB MNCs but also increase the number of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells which has chemokine and adhesion capacity. This culture system may be a feasible way for in vitro culture of cord blood cells.

This study was to explore the effect of recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (rhG-CSF) on neutrophil morphology, function and phenotype in patients with acute leukemia undergoing chemotherapy. Neutrophil morphology was observed under microscope with oil immersion; phagocytotic function was examined by measuring the amount of hydrogen peroxide produced by neutrophil; chemotaxis was analyzed by agarose method; oxidative burst was analyzed by flow cytometry using immunofluorescence technique; neutrophil phenotype was analyzed by flow cytometry and immunofluorescence techniques. The results showed that after rhG-CSF administration, the increased "toxic" granulation, vacuoles and Döhle bodies were observed in neutrophils of patients with acute leukemia. Compared with normal control, the functions of phagocytosis, chemotaxis, oxidative burst of neutrophil were impaired after chemotherapy, while these functions were enhanced and returned to normal level or even to be exceeded after administration of rhG-CSF. In patients with acute leukemia the neutrophil presented significantly higher expression of CD64 and CD62L than that in normal control, and a mild increase of CD64 expression and significant increase of CD62L expression were found in patients after rhG-CSF treatment. No modifications of CD16, CD32, CD14 and CD11b expression were detected in these patients before or after G-CSF administration. It is concluded that rhG-CSF administration can modify the morphology, function and phenotype of neutrophils in the patients with acute leukemia undergoing chemotherapy, and these modifications of neutrophil behavior may be supposed to be a reason for the enhancement of organism anti-infection ability.

To investigate the effect of in vivo rhG-CSF on the CXCR-4 expression of hematopoietic progenitor or stem cells in bone marrow and peripheral blood, the expressions of CXCR-4 on CD34(+) cells and mononuclear cells of bone marrow and peripheral blood from healthy donor before and after mobilization were detected by three-color fluorescence analysis. The results showed that a significantly higher expression of CXCR4 on CD34(+) cells of bone marrow and mononuclear cells of peripheral blood, as compared to those before mobilization. There were no significant differences of CXCR-4 expression of CD34(+) cells in peripheral blood after mobilization, as compared with steady state bone marrow, and no dynamic change of mononuclear cells expressing CXCR-4 in bone marrow before and after mobilization. Significant positive correlation were found between the percentage of CD34(+) cells in bone marrow before mobilization and that in bone marrow and peripheral blood after mobilization; furthermore, the percentage of CD34(+) cells of bone marrow before mobilization had a positive correlation with both the count of CD34(+) cells per kilogram on the day of collection in bone marrow and peripheral blood after mobilization. It is concluded that the mobilization of hematopoietic cells may be involved in the signaling of SDF-1/CXCR-4 according to the increase of the surface expression of CXCR-4 on CD34(+) cells in bone marrow and on the MNC in peripheral blood after mobilization; meanwhile, the high surface expression of CXCR-4 may contribute to the MNC engraftment, monitoring the percentage of CD34(+) cells in bone marrow before mobilization can be regarded as a predictive factor for mobilization outcome.

To investigate the changes of donor's peripheral blood immunocytes after mobilization with medium-dose recombinant human granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (rhG-CSF), the amounts of immunocytes in peripheral blood cells and the immunocyte components of donor peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMNC) in 12 healthy donors were detected by flow cytometry before and after mobilization with rhG-CSF 10 microg/(kg.day). The results showed that the median amounts of peripheral blood leukocytes before mobilization was 6.25 (4.7-7.8) x 10(9)/L, for lymphocytes it was 2.07 (1.63-3.10) x 10(9)/L, and for monocytes it was 0.163 (0.078-0.414) x 10(9)/L. In the fifth day after mobilization, the median amounts of peripheral blood leukocytes was 37.47 (24-72.57) x 10(9)/L, and for lymphocytes it was 3.22 (1.46-5.31) x 10(9)/L, and for monocytes, it was 1.2 (0.706-3.627) x 10(9)/L. The average amount of leukocytes after mobilization was 6.26 +/- 2.14 multiple of that before mobilization (P < 0.01), and the median amounts of lymphocytes after mobilization was 1.45 +/- 0.76 multiple of that before mobilization (P < 0.05), and the amount of monocytes after mobilization was 7.48 +/- 4.41 multiple of that before mobilization (P < 0.01). The median percentage of CD3(+) T lymphocytes before mobilization was 46.96% [(32.36-57.45)%], but 40.94% [(25.31-48.9)%] after mobilization. The ratio of CD4(+)/CD8(+) before mobilization was 1.27 +/- 0.46, while 1.36 +/- 0.51 after mobilization. The median percentage of CD4(+)CD8(+) T lymphocytes was 0.41% [(0.16-1.51)%], and 0.49% [(0.09-2.0)%] after mobilization. The median percentage of CD16(+)CD56(+) NK cells was 13.98% [(4.08-25.08)%] versus 16.65% [(12.06-33.05)%] after mobilization. The median percentage of CD3(+)CD16(+)CD56(+) NK-T cells was 2.75% [(0.37-6.38)%], but 3.13% [(0.46-5.95)%] after mobilization. The median percentage of CD20(+) B cells was 9.28% [(5.97-16.33)%], while 9.94% [(7.36-20.41)%] after mobilization. The median percentage of CD14(+) monocytes was 12.48% [(3.54-19.35)%] versus 29.52% [(16.51-36.76)%] after mobilization. The percentage of CD3(+) T lymphocytes, CD4(+)CD8(+) T lymphocytes, NK cells, NK-T cells and B lymphocytes in PBMNC did not change markedly before and after mobilization with middle-dose rhG-CSF. The ratio of CD4(+)/CD8(+) did not change significantly (P > 0.10). The percentages of CD14(+) monocytes in PBMNC after mobilization increased up to 2.87 +/- 1.51 higher than that before mobilization (P < 0.05). It is concluded that the changes of the CD14(+) monocytes after mobilization with rhG-CSF may be involved in graft rejection and graft versus host disease after allo-PBSCT.

We analyzed the comparative amounts of granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSFr) and granulocyte macrophage CSF (GM-CSFr) receptors expressed on neutrophils and monocytes in measles patients to investigate the role of these CSFrs in the development of leukopenia including neutropenia and monocytopenia in measles. EDTA-anticoagulated peripheral blood of 19 measles patients, 10 children with other infections showing leukopenia and 16 children with normal complete blood cell counts (CBC)s were analyzed using flow cytometry and QuantiBRITE. The leukocyte (5260 +/- 2030/uL vs. 9900 + 2680/uL, p=0.000), neutrophil (2580 +/- 960/uL vs. 4250 +/- 2750/uL, p=0.024) and the lymphocyte counts of measles patients (1810 +/- 1430/uL vs. 4530 +/- 3450/uL, p= 0.006) were lower than in the normal controls. The neutrophils of measles patients expressed similar amounts of G- CSFr (1858 +/- 355) as normal children (1764 +/- 477, p= 0.564) and leukopenic patients (1773 +/- 673, p=0.713), but lower levels of GM-CSFr (535 +/- 118) than normal children (957 +/- 344, p=0.000) and leukopenic patients (832 +/- 294, p=0.002). The monocytes of measles patients expressed similar amounts of G-CSFr (916 +/- 336) and GM-CSFr (3718 +/- 906) as normal children (1013 +/- 391 and 4125 (2645, p > 0.05) but less than leukopenic patients (1454 +/- 398 and 5388 +/- 806, p > 0.05). The neutrophil and monocyte counts of measles patients did not correlate with the amount of G-CSFr or GM-CSFr expressed on neutrophils or monocytes (p > 0.05), but in the normal children, the monocyte count correlated with the levels of GM-CSFr on monocytes (r=0.951, p=0.049). In conclusion, neutropenia is one of the more important characteristics of measles patients, which could be due to the decreased GM-CSFr expression on neutrophils. However, the monocytopenia found in measles patients is not due to the decreased expression of CSFr on the monocytes.

To explore the dynamic change of CD34(+) cell expressing adhesion molecules in bone marrow and peripheral blood during mobilization with combination of chemotherapy and G-CSF and its clinical significance, mononuclear cells of bone marrow and peripheral blood from malignant hematopathy cases before and after mobilization with G-CSF were labeled by CD45-CY-Chrome, PE conjugated anti-CD34, and FITC conjugated anti-CD44, anti-CD49d, anti-CD62L and anti-CXCR4. For three-color fluorescence analysis by flow cytometry was performed on a FACScalibur. Also the relationship between the number of subpopulations in different expressions of adhesion molecules infused and the time of recovery in different blood cells after transplantation was evaluated. Results showed that a significantly lower expression of CD44(+) and CD49d(+) on CD34(+) cells in bone marrow after mobilization compared to that before mobilization, whereas great higher expression of CD44(+), CD49d(+), anti-CD62L(+) and lower of anti-CXCR4(+) in peripheral blood were observed after mobilization. No significant relations were found between expression of different adhesion molecules on CD34(+) cells infused and the time of reconstitution in blood cells after transplantation. It was concluded that this mobilizing regimen could downregulate the expressions of CD44, CD49d, CD62L, and anti-CXCR4 on CD34(+) cells in bone marrow, it may related to mobilization of CD34(+) cells from marrow to blood, and homing of blood CD34(+) cells into marrow.
