Little is known about the presence, frequency, and in vivo proliferative potential of stromal cells within blood-derived hematopoietic transplants. In this study, nonobese diabetic/severe combined immunodeficiency (NOD/SCID) mice were injected with human CD34(+) peripheral blood cells (PBCs) or cord blood cells (CBCs, either enriched for CD34 or density-gradient separated mononuclear cells). Flow cytometric analysis 5 to 11 weeks after transplantation revealed the presence of a human lymphomyeloid hematopoiesis within the murine bone marrow. Immunohistochemical staining of bone marrow cell suspensions using human-specific antibodies showed human cells staining positive for human fibroblast markers, human von Willebrand factor (vWF) and human KDR (vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2) in mice transplanted with CD34(+) PBCs or CBCs, with mean frequencies between 0.6% and 2.4%. In stromal layers of bone marrow cultures established from the mice, immunohistochemical staining using human-specific antibodies revealed flattened reticular cells or spindle-shaped cells staining positive with human-specific antifibroblast antibodies (mean frequency, 2.2%). Cell populations of more rounded cells stained positive with human-specific antibodies recognizing CD34 (1.5%), vWF (2.2%), and KDR (1.6%). Reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis and subsequent complementary DNA sequencing detected transcripts of human KDR (endothelial specific) and human proline hydroxylase-alpha (fibroblast specific) within the bone marrow and spleen of transplanted mice. Analysis of nontransplanted control mice yielded negative results in immunocytochemistry and RT-PCR. Cells expressing endothelial and fibroblast markers were also detected in the grafts before transplantation, and their numbers increased up to 3 log in vivo after transplantation. These results indicate that stromal progenitor cells are present in human cytokine-mobilized peripheral blood or cord blood that engraft in NOD/SCID mice. (Blood. 2000;96:3971-3978)Citation
