Methylcellulose-based medium with EPO for human cells
概述
MethoCult™ H4330 is a methylcellulose-based medium for the growth and enumeration of hematopoietic progenitor cells in colony-forming unit (CFU) assays of human bone marrow, mobilized peripheral blood, peripheral blood, and cord blood samples. This formulation contains erythropoietin (EPO), but does not contain other cytokines. It is recommended for assays of late erythroid progenitors, specifically colony-forming cell - erythroid (CFU-E), in the presence of EPO only. It is also recommended for assays of early erythroid progenitors, specifically burst-forming unit - erythroid (BFU-E), and other colony-forming cells when appropriate cytokines are added. It can also be used to assess colony-stimulating factor activity or burst-promoting activity in unknown samples.

JMJD1C-mediated metabolic dysregulation contributes to HOXA9-dependent leukemogenesis. Leukemia 2019 JAN
Abstract
Abnormal metabolism is a fundamental hallmark of cancer and represents a therapeutic opportunity, yet its regulation by oncogenes remains poorly understood. Here, we uncover that JMJD1C, a jumonji C (JmjC)-containing H3K9 demethylase, is a critical regulator of aberrant metabolic processes in homeobox A9 (HOXA9)-dependent acute myeloid leukemia (AML). JMJD1C overexpression increases in vivo cell proliferation and tumorigenicity through demethylase-independent upregulation of a glycolytic and oxidative program, which sustains leukemic cell bioenergetics and contributes to an aggressive AML phenotype in vivo. Targeting JMJD1C-mediated metabolism via pharmacologic inhibition of glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation led to ATP depletion, induced necrosis/apoptosis and decreased tumor growth in vivo in leukemias co-expressing JMJD1C and HOXA9. The anti-metabolic therapy effectively diminished AML stem/progenitor cells and reduced tumor burden in a primary AML patient-derived xenograft. Our data establish a direct link between drug responses and endogenous expression of JMJD1C and HOXA9 in human AML cell line- and patient-derived xenografts. These findings demonstrate a previously unappreciated role for JMJD1C in counteracting adverse metabolic changes and retaining the metabolic integrity during tumorigenesis, which can be exploited therapeutically.
Expression of a human beta-globin transgene in erythroid cells derived from retrovirally transduced transplantable human fetal liver and cord blood cells. Blood 2002 AUG
Abstract
Transfer of therapeutic genes to human hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) using complex vectors at clinically relevant efficiencies remains a major challenge. Recently we described a stable retroviral vector that sustains long-term expression of green fluorescent protein (GFP) and a human beta-globin gene in the erythroid progeny of transduced murine HSCs. We now report the efficient transduction of primitive human CD34(+) fetal liver or cord blood cells with this vector and expression of the beta-globin transgene in the erythroid progeny of these human cells for at least 2 months. After growth factor prestimulation and then a 2- to 3-day exposure to the virus, 35% to 55% GFP(+) progeny were seen in assays of transduced colony-forming cells, primitive erythroid precursors that generate large numbers of glycophorin A(+) cells in 3-week suspension cultures, and 6-week long-term culture-initiating cells. In immunodeficient mice injected with unselected infected cells, 5% to 15% of the human cells regenerated in the marrow (including the erythroid cells) were GFP(+) 3 and 6 weeks after transplantation. Importantly, the numbers of GFP(+) human lymphoid and either granulopoietic or erythroid cells in individual mice 6 weeks after transplantation were significantly correlated, indicative of the initial transduction of human multipotent cells with in vivo repopulating activity. Expression of the transduced beta-globin gene in human cells obtained directly from the mice or after their differentiation into erythroid cells in vitro was demonstrated by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction using specific primers. These experiments represent a significant step toward the realization of a gene therapy approach for human beta-globin gene disorders.
High levels of lymphoid expression of enhanced green fluorescent protein in nonhuman primates transplanted with cytokine-mobilized peripheral blood CD34(+) cells. Blood 2000 JAN
Abstract
We have used a murine retrovirus vector containing an enhanced green fluorescent protein complimentary DNA (EGFP cDNA) to dynamically follow vector-expressing cells in the peripheral blood (PB) of transplanted rhesus macaques. Cytokine mobilized CD34(+) cells were transduced with an amphotropic vector that expressed EGFP and a dihydrofolate reductase cDNA under control of the murine stem cell virus promoter. The transduction protocol used the CH-296 recombinant human fibronectin fragment and relatively high concentrations of the flt-3 ligand and stem cell factor. Following transplantation of the transduced cells, up to 55% EGFP-expressing granulocytes were obtained in the peripheral circulation during the early posttransplant period. This level of myeloid marking, however, decreased to 0.1% or lower within 2 weeks. In contrast, EGFP expression in PB lymphocytes rose from 2%-5% shortly following transplantation to 10% or greater by week 5. After 10 weeks, the level of expression in PB lymphocytes continued to remain at 3%-5% as measured by both flow cytometry and Southern blot analysis, and EGFP expression was observed in CD4(+), CD8(+), CD20(+), and CD16/56(+) lymphocyte subsets. EGFP expression was only transiently detected in red blood cells and platelets soon after transplantation. Such sustained levels of lymphocyte marking may be therapeutic in a number of human gene therapy applications that require targeting of the lymphoid compartment. The transient appearance of EGFP(+) myeloid cells suggests that transduction of a lineage-restricted myeloid progenitor capable of short-term engraftment was obtained with this protocol.
