Two populations of hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) in mouse bone marrow (BM)
are defined on the basis of the presence or absence of interleukin- 3
(IL-3) receptor-associated antigen (IL-3RAA). HSC were purified by
depletion of mature lymphoid-lineage cells followed by collection of the
low-density fraction and sorting of wheat germ agglutinin-binding (WGA+)
cells using a fluorescein-activated cell sorter. WGA+ cells were further
separated into two populations (IL-3RAA+/WGA+ and IL-3RAA- /WGA+) by a
monoclonal antibody (MoAb) against IL-3RAA. IL-3RAA+/WGA+ cells formed
CFU-S on day 8; this population consisted mainly of cells in the cycling
phase. IL-3RAA-/WGA+ cells form CFU-S on day 12; this population consisted
mainly of dormant cells (cells in the G0 phase). When two populations
obtained from C3H/HeN mice were injected into lethally irradiated (C57BL/6
x C3H/HeN)F1 mice, donor-derived cells in the peripheral blood (PB)
appeared significantly earlier in mice injected with IL-3RAA+/WGA+ cells
than in those injected with IL-3RAA- /WGA+ cells, whereas the
reconstruction efficiency of IL-3RAA-/WGA+ cells had overtaken that of
IL-3RAA+/WGA+ cells 6 weeks after injection. Long-term observation showed
no significant difference between these two populations, however. The
radioprotective ability (RPA) (30-day survival) of these two populations
was therefore compared. The RPA of IL-3RAA-/WGA+ cells was significantly
higher than that of IL-3RAA+/WGA+ cells. These findings therefore suggest
that the former population is more primitive.
