The experimental study of engraftment in SCID mice of human umbilical cord blood hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells / 中国免疫学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To detect the engraftment capability and hematopoietic potential of the expanded cells,establish an optimized project of ex vivo expansion and the SCID mice model of UCB transplantation.Methods:Human cord blood CD34 + cells were clutured in strom free liquid culture system,the sublethally irradiated SCID mice were injected with human expanded cord blood cells by tail vein.Four weeks after inocuration,BM cells of the survived animals are obtained from both femurs and tibias and assessed for the presence of human cells by immunofluorescence staining and PCR.Results:The cells and CFUs of group FL+TPO+SCF+IL 6 were increased significantly,and maintained some proportional CD34 + cells.The CFU of group SCF+IL 6+IL 3+GM CSF+EPO had reduced in week 2,CFC and CD34 + cells and Alu gene were detected in SCID mice BM.Conclusion:The cytokine combination with FL+TPO+SCF+IL 6 can effectively expand UCB CD34 + cells,and the expanded cells can engraft the BM of sublethally irradiated SCID mice and reconstitute hematopoiesis.
