在这里,我们提出了免疫表征表表征和细胞因子诱导分化脐带血衍生CD34–造血干细胞和祖细胞到四个骨髓系的方案。该协议的应用包括研究骨髓疾病突变或小分子对CD34+细胞骨髓分化的影响。
人类造血干细胞的体外分化是研究造血干细胞的一个广泛应用的模型。此处描述的方案用于细胞因子诱导的CD34分化 –造血干细胞和祖细胞到四个骨髓体体细胞。CD34–细胞从人类脐带血中分离出来,在细胞因子存在的情况下与MS-5基质细胞共同培养。描述了干细胞和祖细胞的免疫表征特征,以及分化的骨髓体系细胞。使用该协议,CD34+细胞可以用小分子孵育,或用慢病毒转导,以表达骨髓疾病突变,以研究其对骨髓分化的影响。
造血干细胞(HSCs)的正常分化对于维持所有血细胞系的生理水平至关重要。在分化期间,在协调响应细胞外线索(包括生长因子和细胞因子)时,HSCs 首先产生具有淋巴-骨髓电位1、2、3 的多能祖细胞 (MPP) 细胞 ,4 (图 1)。MpP 产生常见的骨髓祖体 (CmPs) 和常见的淋巴原代后代 (CLP) 受血统限制。CLP分化成由B、T和自然杀伤细胞组成的淋巴状谱系。CmPs 通过两个更受限的祖体群体(巨核细胞红细胞祖(MEPs)和粒细胞单细胞原代 (GMPs) 生成骨髓系。MEP产生巨核细胞和红细胞,而GMP产生粒细胞和单核细胞。除了通过CmPs产生,兆核细胞也报告直接产生于HC或早期的MpPs通过非规范途径5,6。
造血干细胞和祖细胞(HSPCs)的特点是表面标记CD34和缺乏系系特异性标记(Lin-)。其他通常用于区分 HSC 和骨髓祖体群体的表面标记包括 CD38、CD45RA 和 CD123 2(图1)。HSC 和 Mp 分别为林–/CD34+/CD38–和林–/CD34+/CD38+。骨髓已提交祖细胞群体由CD45RA和CD123的存在或不存在区分。CmP 是林–/CD34+/CD38+/CD45RA–/CD123 lo,GMP 是林–/CD34+/CD38+/CD45RA+/CD123lo,MEP是林–/CD34|/CD38=/CD45RA–/CD123–.
CD34+干细胞和祖细胞的总数可以从人类脐带血 (UCB)、骨髓和外周血获得。CD34–细胞占人类UCB中单核细胞总数的0.02%至1.46%,而骨髓中细胞的百分比在0.5%至5.3%之间,在外周血7、8、9中,其比例要低得多,为±0.01%.UCB衍生CD34+细胞的增殖能力和分化潜力明显高于骨髓或外周血细胞1、10,为获得足够的材料用于分子分析,结合在分化期间对细胞进行免疫表征和形态表征。
脐带血衍生CD34+HSPCs的体外分化是研究正常造血和造血病机制的一种广泛应用模型。当用适当的细胞因子培养时,UCB CD34+ HSPC 可诱导沿骨髓或淋巴体谱11、12、13、14、15进行分化,16.在这里,我们描述了CD34和HSPCs从人类UCB分离和免疫表征表表征,以及它们分化为骨髓体代细胞的协议。这种培养系统基于在MS-5基质细胞存在的情况下,以细胞因子诱导的HSPCs分化,以模拟骨髓中的微环境。培养条件导致CD34+细胞的初始扩张,随后分化为表达四个骨髓系细胞标记的细胞,即粒细胞(CD66b)、单核细胞(CD14)、巨核细胞(CD41)和红细胞(CD235a)。CD34®细胞分化协议的应用包括控制造血的分子机制研究,以及研究骨髓疾病相关突变和小分子对自我更新和HSPC的差异化。
此处所述的协议适用于 UCB 衍生 CD34和HSPC 到四个骨髓谱系的体外分化。由SCF、TPO、Flt3L和IL3组成的细胞因子混合物的初始孵育刺激CD34+细胞。随后,通过SCF、IL3、Flt3L、EPO和TPO的混合物实现了差异化。在此组合中,SCF、IL3 和 Flt3L 对 CD34+ HSC 的生存和增殖非常重要。 EPO 和 TPO 分别促进对红细胞和巨核细胞的分化,IL3 促进早期粒细胞单细胞的分化前体和成熟细胞13,17,18。<sup class="xr…
