Effects of hematopoietic growth factors on the survival of primitive stem cells in liquid suspension culture

DM Bodine, PS Crosier and SC Clark

Clinical Hematology Branch, NHLBI, National Institutes of Health Bethesda, MD 20892.

We have examined the effects of 10 different growth factors either alone or in combination on colony-forming unit-spleen (CFU-S) and repopulating stem cell survival in vitro. Either interleukin-3 (IL-3), granulocyte-colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), or IL-4 alone support CFU-S in vitro. The effects of IL-3 or G-CSF could be neutralized by adding antibodies against IL-3 or G-CSF, respectively. However, the effects of IL-4 could be neutralized with antibodies to IL-4 as well as with antibodies to IL-3 and G-CSF. The combinations of IL-3 and IL-6, IL-3 and G-CSF, IL-3 and IL-1 alpha, IL-3 and granulocyte-macrophage CSF (GM-CSF), and IL-4 and IL-6 acted synergistically to increase CFU-S number. Addition of macrophage inflammatory protein-1 alpha (MIP-1 alpha) to IL-3 and IL-6 inhibited the increase in CFU-S number. Repopulating stem cell function was measured in a competitive repopulation assay. Either IL-3 or IL-4 alone could preserve stem cell function in vitro. The combinations of IL-3 and IL-6, and IL-3 and G- CSF increased stem cell function approximately twofold. The combinations of IL-3 + G-CSF + IL-6, and IL-4 and IL-6 (both of which increased CFU-S number fivefold to 10-fold) decreased stem cell function approximately fourfold. These results demonstrate that certain combinations of growth factors can increase CFU-S number at the expense of stem cell function.
