We have recently demonstrated that CD11b−/dullCD11c+ and CD11b+hiCD11c+ dendritic cell (DC) precursor subsets represent two distinct DC differentiation pathways from murine bone marrow lineage-phenotype negative (Lin−)c-kit+ hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs) stimulated with granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) + stem cell factor (SCF) + tumor necrosis factor  (TNF). We show here that transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) significantly inhibits the generation of these CD11b−/dullCD11c+ and CD11b+hiCD11c+ DC precursors. Phenotypically, this inhibitory effect was accompanied by markedly suppressed expression of Ia and CD86 antigens as well as major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II transactivator (CIITA) and CC-chemokine receptor 7 (CCR7) mRNAs in Lin−c-kit+ HPC cultures stimulated with GM-CSF + SCF + TNF at day 6. TGF-β1 could also suppress mature DC differentiation from CD11b+hiCD11c+ DC precursors, but not the differentiation from CD11b−/dullCD11c+ DC precursors. In the absence of TNF, TGF-β1 markedly suppressed the expression of CIITA and CCR7 mRNAs in GM-CSF + SCF-stimulated Lin−c-kit+ HPCs at either day 6 or day 12 and induced the differentiation solely into monocytes/macrophages as evident in morphology, active phagocytic, and endocytic activities. These cells expressed high levels of F4/80 and E-cadherin antigens, but low or undetectable levels of Ia, CD86, and CD40 molecules. However, upon the stimulation with TNF + GM-CSF, these cells could further differentiate into mature DCs expressing high levels of Ia and E-cadherin, characteristics for Langerhans cells (LCs), and gained the capacity of enhancing allogenic MLR. Taken together, all of these findings suggest that TGF-β1 polarizes murine HPCs to generate LC-like DCs through a monocyte/macrophage differentiation pathway.

Abstract Fas, a member of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF ) receptor superfamily is a critical downregulator of cellular immune responses. Proinflammatory cytokines like interferon-γ (IFN-γ) and TNF-α can induce Fas expression and render hematopoietic progenitor cells susceptible to Fas-induced growth suppression and apoptosis. Transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1 ) is an essential anti-inflammatory cytokine, thought to play a key role in regulating hematopoiesis. In the present studies we investigated whether TGF-β1 might regulate growth suppression and apoptosis of murine hematopoietic progenitor cells signaled through Fas. In the presence of TNF, activation of Fas almost completely blocked clonogenic growth of lineage-depleted (Lin−) bone marrow (BM) progenitor cells in response to granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF ), CSF-1, or a combination of multiple cytokines. Whereas TGF-β1 alone had no effect or stimulated growth in response to these cytokines, it abrogated Fas-induced growth suppression. Single-cell studies and delayed addition of TGF-β1 showed that the ability of TGF-β1 to inhibit Fas-induced growth suppression was directly mediated on the progenitor cells and not indirect through potentially contaminating accessory cells. Furthermore, TGF-β1 blocked Fas-induced apoptosis of Lin− BM cells, but did not affect Fas-induced apoptosis of thymocytes. TGF-β1 also downregulated the expression of Fas on Lin− BM cells. Thus, TGF-β1 potently and directly inhibits activation-dependent and Fas-mediated growth suppression and apoptosis of murine BM progenitor cells, an effect that appears to be distinct from its ability to induce progenitor cell-cycle arrest. Consequently, TGF-β1 might act to protect hematopoietic progenitor cells from enhanced Fas expression and function associated with proinflammatory responses.

Abstract Numerous studies have shown that interferon-gamma (IFN gamma) inhibits the proliferative effects of colony-stimulating factors (CSFs) on human bone marrow cells. In the present study we investigated the effects of IFN gamma and other described inhibitory factors on the proliferation of highly purified CD34+ human hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPC) in response to recombinant CSFs. While transforming growth factor-beta (TGF beta) and IFN alpha were highly inhibitory, IFN gamma strongly potentiated interleukin-3 (IL-3) and, to a lesser extent, granulocyte- macrophage-CSF (GM-CSF) induced growth of CD34+ HPC. IFN gamma had no significant proliferative effect per se, and did not affect granulocyte- CSF (G-CSF)-dependent cell proliferation. Within 10 days the number of viable cells generated in the presence of IL-3 + IFN gamma was two times higher than in the presence of IL-3 alone. Limiting dilution analysis showed that IFN gamma acts directly on its target cell to increase the frequency of IL-3-responding cells without affecting the average size of the IL-3-dependent clones. Enhanced frequency of IL-3- and GM-CSF-responding cells was also observed in colony assays where the addition of IFN gamma increased by twofold to threefold the number of granulocyte colony-forming units (CFU-G), macrophage CFUs (CFU-M), granulocyte-macrophage CFUs (CFU-GM), and mixed erythroid (E-MIX). In contrast, IFN gamma did not affect the generation of erythroid burst- forming units (BFU-e) in such cultures. In longer-term culture, the combination of IFN gamma and IL-3 did not alter the lineage distribution of the cells when compared with IL-3 alone. However, after 15 days, when mature cells were present in the cultures, IFN gamma displayed cell concentration-related growth-inhibitory effects. Thus, IFN gamma appears to stimulate the early stage of myelopoiesis by enhancing the frequency of growth factor-responding cells but, unlike tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF alpha), does not alter cell differentiation.

Human CD34+ hematopoietic progenitor cells, stringently purified from the peripheral blood of 20 normal donors, showed an impaired survival and clonogenic capacity after exposure to either heat-inactivated human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) 1 (strain IIIB) or cross-linked envelope gp120. Cell cycle analysis, performed at different times in serum-free liquid culture, showed an accumulation in G0/G1 in HIV-1- or gp120-treated cells and a progressive increase of cells with subdiploid DNA content, characteristic of apoptosis. In blocking experiments with anti-transforming growth factor (TGF) beta 1 neutralizing serum or TGF-beta 1 oligonucleotides, we demonstrated that the HIV-1- or gp120-mediated suppression of CD34+ cell growth was almost entirely due to an upregulation of endogenous TGF-beta 1 produced by purified hematopoietic progenitors. Moreover, by using a sensitive assay on the CCL64 cell line, increased levels of bioactive TGF-beta 1 were recovered in the culture supernatant of HIV-1/gp120-treated CD34+ cells. Anti-TGF-beta 1 neutralizing serum or TGF-beta 1 oligonucleotides were also effective in inducing a significant increase of the plating efficiency of CD34+ cells, purified from the peripheral blood of three HIV-1-seropositive individuals, suggesting that a similar mechanism may be also operative in vivo. The relevance of these findings to a better understanding of the pathogenesis of HIV-1-related cytopenias is discussed.

Abstract Disruption of stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1/CXCL12 [CXC chemokine ligand 12]) interaction leads to mobilization of stem/progenitor cells from bone marrow to circulation. However, prolonged exposure of CD34+ cells to SDF-1 desensitizes them to SDF-1. So how do cells remain responsive to SDF-1 in vivo when they are continuously exposed to SDF-1? We hypothesized that one or more mechanisms mediated by cytokines exist that could modulate SDF-1 responsiveness of CD34+ cells and the desensitization process. We considered transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) a possible candidate, since TGF-β1 has effects on CD34+ cells and is produced by stromal cells, which provide niches for maintenance and proliferation of stem/progenitor cells. TGF-β1 significantly restored SDF-1–induced chemotaxis and sustained adhesion responses in cord blood CD34+ cells preexposed to SDF-1. Effects of TGF-β1 were dependent on the dose and duration of TGF-β1 pretreatment. Phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1 (Erk1)/Erk2 was implicated in TGF-β1 modulation of migratory and adhesion responses to SDF-1. Our results indicate that low levels of TGF-β1 can modulate SDF-1 responsiveness of CD34+ cells and thus may facilitate SDF-1–mediated retention and nurturing of stem/progenitor cells in bone marrow.

Abstract Evidences accumulated that immature dendritic cell (iDC) could inhibit alloantigen-specific T cell responses and prolong the survival time of allografts. However, the tolerogenic properties of these iDCs were often unstable or inconsistent because of in vivo maturation, such as lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulating. Toll-like receptor 4(TLR4) has been reported to act as a receptor for LPS and LPS can stimulate iDC to mature DC (mDC) via TLR4 signal transduction pathway. In this study, we investigated the effects of transforming growth factor β1 on murine bone marrow derived DCs. Murine bone marrow cells were cultured with GM-CSF and TGF-β1 to generate TGF-β1 treated DCs (TGFβ-DCs). Compared to iDCs cultured by GM-CSF alone, the TGFβ-DCs had no significant alterations in ultrastructure after LPS stimulation. Surface expression of CD80, CD86, CD40, MHC-II were inhibited by addition of TGF-β1, especially in CD80, CD86 (p<0.05). Furthermore, the iDCs were sensitive to further maturation in response to LPS by showing increased levels of MHC class II, CD80, CD86 and CD40. In marked contrast, TGF-β1 prevented this LPS-mediated maturation and maintained the cells in the immature state, with low levels of surface costimulatory molecules expression. Using BrdU incorporation method, after 96 h mix lymphocyte reaction, TGFβ-DCs had weaker allogeneic stimulating capacity than iDCs. Importantly, LPS stimulating strongly promoted the allostimulatory capacity of iDCs, whereas only slightly affected TGFβ-DCs. TGFβ-DCs also showed decreased IL-12p70 production and impaired NF-κB activation after LPS stimulation. We also found the expression of TLR4 mRNA on TGFβ-DCs was weaker than that on iDCs by RT-PCR. Moreover, the results of flow cytometry revealed the positive expression percentages of TLR4/MD2 complex on iDCs and TGFβ-DCs were (51.8±3.89% vs. 15.7±4.13%, p<0.01) and the mean fluorescence intensities (MFIs) were (2.37±0.26 vs. 1.36±0.17, p<0.05). These results agreed with previous findings that TGFβ-DCs responded weakly to LPS. In summary, TGFβ-DC is resistant to maturation stimulus (LPS) and might have some correlation with the down-modulation of TLR4 expression.

The c-kit receptor and its ligand, steel factor (SLF), are critical for optimal hematopoiesis. We evaluated effects of transducing cord blood (CB) progenitor cells with a retrovirus encoding humanc-kit cDNA. CD34+ cells were sorted as a population or as 1 cell/well for cells expressing high levels of CD34+++ and different levels of c-kit (++, +, Lo/−), transduced and then cultured in the presence of granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), interleukin-3 (IL-3), IL-6, erythropoietin (Epo) +/− SLF in the absence of serum. At a single-cell level, transduction with c-kit, but not with control (neo only), virus significantly increased colony formation, especially by erythroid and multipotential progenitors. The enhancing effect of c-kit transduction was inversely correlated with expression of c-kit protein before transduction. The greatest enhancing effects were noted in CD34+++kitLo/− cells transduced with c-kit. The stimulating effect was apparent even in the absence of exogenously added SLF, but in the presence of GM-CSF, IL-3, IL-6, and Epo. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) of SLF protein, reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis of SLF mRNA expression in CD34+ cells, and use of neutralizing antibodies to SLF and/or c-kit suggested the presence of endogenous, although probably very low level, expression of SLF by these progenitor cells. Transduction of c-kit significantly decreased sensitivity of progenitor cells to the inhibitory effects of transforming growth factor-β1 and tumor necrosis factor-.c-kit–transduced cells had increased expression ofc-kit protein and decreased spontaneous or cytokine-induced apoptosis. Our results suggest that transduced c-kit into selected progenitor cells can enhance proliferation and decrease apoptosis and that endogenous SLF may mediate this effect.
