Characterization of adult human marrow hematopoietic progenitors highly enriched by two-color cell sorting with My10 and major histocompatibility class II monoclonal antibodies

L Lu, D Walker, HE Broxmeyer, R Hoffman, W Hu and E Walker

Monoclonal antibodies, My10 (HPCA-1) and major histocompatibility class II (HLA-DR), were used to enrich and phenotype normal human marrow colony-forming unit: granulocyte-macrophage (CFU-GM), burst-forming unit: erythroid (BFU-E), and multipotential colony-forming unit: granulocyte-erythroid-macrophage-megakaryocyte (CFU-GEMM) progenitor cells. Nonadherent low density T lymphocyte-depleted marrow cells were sorted on a Coulter Epics 753 dye laser flow cytometry system with the use of Texas Red-labeled anti-My10 and phycoerythrin conjugated anti- HLA-DR. Cells were separated into populations with nondetectable expression of antigens (DR-My10-) or with constant expression of one antigen and increasing densities of the other antigen. More than 98% of the CFU-GM, BFU-E, and CFU-GEMM were found in fractions containing cells expressing both HLA-DR and My10 antigens. The cloning efficiency (CE) of cells in the DR-My10- cell fraction was 0.01%. In the antigen- positive sorted fractions, the CE was highest (up to 47%) in the fractions of cells expressing high My10 and low DR (My10 DR+) antigens and was lowest (2.5%) in the fraction of cells expressing low My10 and low DR (My10+DR+) antigens. Populations of cells varying in the density of HLA-DR, but not My10, antigens varied in the proportion and types of progenitor cells present. When My10-positive cells were sorted for HLA- DR density expression, the CE for CFU-GM was similar in the DR+ and DR++ fractions, but most of the BFU-E and CFU-GEMM were found in the DR+ fraction. Within the CFU-GM compartment, most of the eosinophil progenitors were found in the DR+ fraction, whereas a greater proportion of macrophage progenitors were detected in the DR++ fraction. CFU-GM and BFU-E in the fractions of cells positive for DR and My10 were assessed for responsiveness to the effects of recombinant human tumor necrosis factor-alpha, recombinant human interferon-gamma, and prostaglandin E1. Colony formation from CFU-GM was suppressed by the three molecules, and colony formation by BFU-E was suppressed by recombinant human tumor necrosis factor-alpha and interferon-gamma and enhanced, in the presence of T lymphocyte-conditioned medium, by prostaglandin E1 in all antigen-positive fractions.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)
