RESUMO

Murine spleen has been shown to harbour stromal cells that support hematopoiesis with production of myeloid antigen-presenting cells. Similar stromal lines have now been isolated from long-term cultures (LTC) of human spleen. When human progenitor populations from spleen, bone marrow and cord blood were employed as a source of progenitors for co-culture above splenic stromal lines, myelopoiesis was supported. Human splenocytes gave production of predominantly myeloid dendritic-like cells, with minor subsets resembling conventional dendritic cells (cDC) cells, and myeloid or monocyte-derived DC. Human bone marrow progenitors gave rise to myelopoiesis from hematopoietic progenitors, while human cord blood supported limited myelopoiesis from existing myeloid precursors. Transcriptome analysis compared two stromal lines differing in myelopoietic support capacity. Gene profiling revealed both stromal lines to reflect perivascular reticular cells with osteogenic characteristics. However, the 5C6 stroma which failed to support hematopoiesis uniquely expressed several inhibitors of the WNT pathway. Combined data now show that splenic stroma of both human and murine origin provides a mesenchymal stromal cell microenvironment which is WNT pathway-dependent, and which supports in vitro myelopoiesis with production of specific subsets of myeloid and dendritic-like cells.

RESUMO

Study of the microenvironment that supports hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) development in vivo is very difficult involving small numbers of interacting cells which are usually not well defined. While much is known about HSC niches located within the bone marrow in terms of contributing cell types and signalling molecules, very little is known about equivalent niches within spleen. Extramedullary hematopoiesis in spleen contributes myeloid cells important in the mobilisation of an immune response. As a result, it is important to develop in vitro models to identify the cells which constitute HSC niches in spleen and to identify the regulatory molecules supporting myeloid cell development. Studies described here document a model system to study the maintenance and differentiation of HSC by splenic stromal cells in vitro. The splenic stromal lines 5G3 and 3B5 differ in hematopoietic support capacity. SVEP1 and IGF2 are molecules of interest specifically expressed by 5G3 stroma. Gene knockdown technology using shRNA plasmids has been used to reduce gene expression in 5G3 and to determine specific effects on myeloid cell development following co-culture with overlaid hematopoietic progenitors in vitro. Knockdown of Svep1 gave specific inhibition of a dendritic cell (DC) population described previously in spleen (L-DC). Knockdown of Igf2 resulted in loss of production of a minor subset of conventional (c) DC. SVEP1 is now considered a marker of mesenchymal stromal cells with osteogenic differentiative capacity reflective of perivascular stromal cells. The power of this in vitro model is evidenced by the fact that it has been used to define SVEP1 as a specific adhesion molecule that regulates the hematopoietic process dependent on stromal niche interaction. The identification of stromal cells and molecules that contribute to the hematopoietic process in spleen, brings us closer to the realm of therapeutically regulating hematopoiesis in vivo, and to inhibiting niches which support cancer stem cells.

RESUMO

Cultured splenic stroma has been shown to support in vitro hematopoiesis in overlaid bone marrow and spleen progenitors. These co-cultures support longterm production of a novel dendritic-like cell type along with transient production of myeloid cells. They also maintain a progenitor cell population. The splenic stromal lines 5G3 and 3B5 have been identified as a supporter and a non-supporter of hematopoiesis. Based on their gene expression profile, both 5G3 and 3B5 express genes related to hematopoiesis, while 5G3 cells express several unique genes, and show upregulation of some genes over 3B5. Based on gene expression studies, specific inhibitors were tested for capacity to inhibit hematopoiesis in co-cultures. Addition of specific antibodies and small molecule inhibitors identified VCAM1, CXCL12, CSF1 and SPP1 as potential regulators of hematopoiesis, although both are expressed by 5G3 and 3B5. Through inhibition of function, SVEP1 and ALDH1 are also shown here to be deterministic of 5G3 hematopoietic support capacity, since these are uniquely expressed by 5G3 and not 3B5. The achievement of inhibition is notable given the dynamic, longterm nature of co-cultures which involve only small numbers of cells. The alternate plan, to add recombinant soluble factors produced by 5G3 back into 3B5 co-cultures in order to recover in vitro hematopoiesis, proved ineffective. Out of 6 different factors added to 3B5, only IGF2 showed any effect on cell production. The identification of differentially expressed or upregulated genes in 5G3 has provided an insight into potential pathways involved in in vitro hematopoiesis leading to production of dendritic-like cells.
