The Effect of Basic Fibroblast Growth Factor (bFGF) on the Grafting Ability of CD34~+Cord Blood Cells / 中国输血杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the effect of bFGF on the grafting ability (grafing efficiency)of CD34 + cord blood cells seeded in 5 FU injured human bone marrow stromal cells.Methods Using combined methods of bone marrow stromal cell culture system,light microscopy and electron microscopy,flow cytometry,we investigated the toxic effects of 5 FU on human bone marrow stromal cells (hBMSC) and the benefit of bFGF on dynamics of hBMSC as well as the ability of the cord blood stem cell to bind hBMSC.Results After 3 hours incubation with 5 FU,significant changes in hBMSC cytosolic and nuclear morphology were observed.Nuclear splitting and abnormal shapes of the pseudopodia were found under the electron microscope.Flow cytometry revealed that apoptosis appeared before G 0/G 1,and that cells in G 0/G 1and G 2/M phases were remarkably lower,while the cells in S phase were remarkably higher than the controls.Two hours after adding the cord blood hematopoietic progenitor cells,the group treated with bFGF(injury with intervention of bFGF group,IBG)showed higher proprtion of the adherence layer compared to the group without adding bFGF(injury group,IG)(29% versus 12%) Conclusion 5 FU causes DNA damage in hBMSC.It also impairs the binding ability of cord blood stem cell to hBMSC.bFGF is able to repair hBMSC damage and improve the binding of CD34 + cord blood hematopoietic progenitor cells onto hBMSC.
