      【摘要】
   It is now evident that hemopoietic stem cells (HSC) are located in close proximity to bone lining cells within the endosteum. Accordingly, it is unlikely that the traditional method for harvesting bone marrow (BM) from mice by simply flushing long bones would result in optimal recovery of HSC. With this in mind, we have developed improved methodologies based on sequential grinding and enzymatic digestion of murine bone tissue to harvest higher numbers of BM cells and HSC from the endosteal and central marrow regions. This methodology resulted in up to a sixfold greater recovery of primitive hemopoietic cells (lineage¨CSca Kit cells) and HSC as shown by transplant studies. HSC from different anatomical regions of the marrow exhibited important functional differences. Compared with their central marrow counterparts, HSC isolated from the endosteal region (a) had 1.8-fold greater proliferative potential, (b) exhibited almost twofold greater ability to home to the BM following tail vein injection and to lodge in the endosteal region, and (c) demonstrated significantly greater long-term hemopoietic reconstitution potential as shown using limiting dilution competitive transplant assays.

   INTRODUCTION
8 U# c& u5 r+ k' s
The concept of a hemopoietic stem cell (HSC) niche was first proposed by Schofield , they have not analyzed the impact of modified BM cell harvesting methodologies on the recovery and enrichment of HSC. Our data demonstrate that deviations from our precise method significantly affect stem cell yield, the repertoire of cell adhesion markers expressed on their surface, and the measurement of their functional potential. We show that HSC isolated from the endosteal region exhibit significantly increased in vitro (proliferation) and in vivo (homing, lodgement, and reconstituting) hemopoietic potential compared with their central marrow counterparts.

Central Marrow Isolation. For the isolation of central marrow, bones were flushed using a 23-gauge (femurs and tibias) or 26-gauge needle (iliac crests) and 1 ml of phosphate-buffered saline (PBS)-2% heat-inactivated (HI) fetal calf serum (FCS) (HyClone, Logan, UT, http://www.hyclone.com) (femurs and tibias vs. iliac crests respectively) and the bones discarded. The cells were washed by centrifuging at 400g for 5 minutes at 4¡ãC, resuspended in PBS-2% HI FCS, and then refiltered through a 40-µm filter (Becton, Dickinson and Company, Franklin Lakes, NJ, http://www.bd.com) and diluted to 107 cells per milliliter.1 Z% f. m% Y/ i+ ^

Endosteal Marrow Isolation. For the isolation of endosteal marrow, bones were flushed as described above for the isolation of the central marrow fraction. The flushed cells were discarded, and the marrow-depleted bones were ground in a mortar and pestle in PBS 2% HI FCS. The bone fragments were washed twice and filtered through a 40-µm filter, collecting a total of 200 ml for 10 mice. Bone fragments were incubated in 5 ml of 3 mg/ml Collagenase I (Roche Diagnostics, Basel, Switzerland, http://www.roche-applied-science.com) and 4 mg/ml Dispase II (Worthington, Lakewood, NJ, http://www.worthington-biochem.com), available in a stem cell isolation kit (Chemicon, Temecula, CA, http://www.chemicon.com; catalog no.

Whole BM was labeled with a rat anti-mouse Ly5.1-PE (PTPRCA) antibody and a rat anti-mouse Ly5.2-FITC (C57Bl/6) antibody to determine the proportion of PTPRCA LSK cells. All Ly5.2-FITC  cells were sorted, and the proportion of male C57Bl/6 LSK cell donor contribution was determined using real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for Y chromosome.

DNA Isolation and Real-Time PCR Analysis

Cells were dry-pelleted and resuspended in 600 µl of 50 mM NaOH. Cells were heated for 10 minutes at 90¡ãC and vortexed, and 100 µl of 1M Tris, pH 8, was added. Cells were centrifuged at 13,000 rpm for 10 minutes, and the supernatant was collected. PCR using gene-specific primers and an internal oligonucleotide probe was used to quantitate the relative DNA levels of Y chromosome in a similar manner to that previously described by Peters et al. . Duplicate technical replicates were done for each sample, and all samples were assayed at a similar cDNA template concentration. For the Y chromosome internal probe, the reporter dye 6-carboxylfluorescein and quencher 6-carboxytetramethyl rhodamine was labeled at 5' and 3', respectively. For 18S internal probes, the reporter 6-carboxylfluorescein was substituted with VIC (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA, http://www.appliedbiosystems.com). The PCR was done in a final volume of 20 µl and consisted of 10 µl of Taqman reaction mix, 300 nM Y chromosome forward and reverse primer, 100 nM probe, 100 nM each 18S primer, and 100 nM 18S probe. PCR amplification was done by denaturation for 10 minutes at 95¡ãC followed by annealing for 2 minutes at 50¡ãC, followed by 40 cycles of 15 seconds at 95¡ãC and 1 minute at 60¡ãC. Thermocycling and fluorescence measurements were done in an ABI Prism 7500 sequence detection system (Applied Biosystems). Relative quantitation was done by normalizing threshold cycle (Ct) values of each sample gene with Ct values of 18S. qCt corresponds to the difference between the Ct of the Y chromosome gene of interest and the Ct of 18S. Data were then compared with a standard curve created using known proportions of male DNA (average r2 = .99), and the percentage of male cellular contribution was determined.

The homing ability and spatial distribution of CFSE-positive central or endosteal LSK cells was analyzed 15 hours post-transplant into nonablated recipients. For the analysis of homing, endosteal and central marrow samples were prepared from individual mice as described above. Marrow cells were labeled with a rat anti-mouse CD45-PE-conjugated antibody (BD Pharmingen) for 15 minutes on ice. Cells were washed, and the analysis of the proportion of CFSE  donor cells in each fraction was performed using CD45-PE as the denominator for the total number of cells analyzed by flow cytometry. Preparation of samples for spatial distribution was as previously described . Briefly, the location of CFSE-labeled cells (positive cells) from at least six longitudinal sections per transplant recipient was recorded. Central longitudinal sections were analyzed, as opposed to transverse sections, as each individual section encompasses more of the entire femur. To ensure that individual cells were only analyzed once, every other 3.5-µm section was analyzed. The location of positive cells was designated either endosteal (previously arbitrarily defined as within 12 cells of the endosteum) or central (more than 12 cells from either endosteum).

Differences between means were evaluated using Student's t-test. Contribution of each donor cell population to hemopoietic recovery during the short- and long-term competitive limiting dilution assays was evaluated by comparing the contribution of the LSK cells isolated from the endosteum to that mathematically expected if there was equal contribution. Based on the data not being normally distributed or having equal variance, analysis was done using a Spearman rank order correlation test, where a p value  .05 shows a significant correlation and p >.05 shows no significant relationship. This test allows for the correlation of each data point in the context of the entire data set (n = 56 at 6 weeks and n = 42 at 12 weeks) and is appropriate when comparing a large number of data points in different groups with an expected outcome.: {3 P1 [8 n0 ^( v( y

We analyzed the proportion and total number of LSK cells isolated from the central and endosteal regions from total femurs, tibias, and iliac crests using the isolation methods described (Table 1). The incidence of LSK cells was equivalent in both the central and endosteal bone marrow fractions. However, a significant number of LSK cells, which remain within the endosteal region (33%) following the isolation of BM cells from the central marrow core, would be lost using the traditional flushing methodology.

In developing this methodology, we observed that the time of incubation of marrow cells with collagenase/dispase is a critical determinant to subsequent immunolabeling and isolation of HSC based on the LSK phenotype. As shown in Figure 1, when cells are incubated in this enzyme combination, there is a time-dependent loss of c-kit immunoreactivity, with incubation periods longer than 5 minutes resulting in a progressive loss of c-kit. Consequently, cells could no longer be isolated based on the expression of the c-kit receptor. Furthermore, longer periods of enzymatic digestion also resulted in a loss of expression in Sca-1.

To determine whether LSK cells isolated from the endosteal region had increased proliferative potential, cells were cultured in serum-free conditions for 6 days. LSK cells isolated from the endosteal region had a significantly higher proliferative potential (1.8-fold; p = .02) under these conditions compared with those from the central marrow core (Fig. 2). The increased cell production in this in vitro assay may be attributed to either an increased proportion of primitive cells with enhanced proliferative potential within the endosteal LSK fraction or, alternatively, to the isolation of a greater number of committed progenitors within the LSK fraction that proliferate rapidly during the 6 days of culture.

Based on these functional differences, we conducted competitive limiting dilution transplant experiments to compare the short- and long-term hemopoietic potential of LSK cells isolated from these distinct anatomical regions. Increasing numbers of LSK cells isolated from the endosteal marrow region were competed against a constant number of LSK cells isolated from the central marrow core. Analysis of donor cells in the peripheral blood 6 weeks post-transplant revealed no differences in short-term hemopoietic repopulating ability between LSK cells isolated from the endosteal region and those isolated from the central marrow core (Fig. 5A). The proportion of donor cells correlated with the mathematically expected outcomes for an equal contribution from endosteal and central LSK cells (correlation coefficient = 0.82; p  .05) by endosteal donor cells compared with central LSK cells to donor hemopoiesis than that mathematically expected (Fig. 5B). This was particularly evident in recipients transplanted with limited numbers of endosteal LSK cells (30 cells per mouse), where the proportion of donor hemopoiesis in 50% of the recipients was far greater than the predicted 9%. Notably, two of the recipients transplanted with 30 LSK cells exhibited 100% donor hemopoiesis.

DISCUSSION5 X( k6 X. }5 Q: B8 \9 }' x

For more than half a century, studies, including our own, have strongly suggested that the HSC niche is located within the endosteal region of the BM or the interface between the bone and BM . At this location, HSC reside in very close proximity to bone and participate in adhesive interactions with both cellular and extracellular components of the hemopoietic microenvironment. It is therefore surprising that these adhesive interactions and the endosteal location of the HSC niche have not been considered when developing methods for murine BM harvesting and HSC purification. In contrast to these considerations, the advances in HSC isolation have focused on the use of additional or combinations of markers to further subset an already enriched population of BM HSC. Although this approach has been successful in identifying HSC with differing transplant potential, the quality and total number of HSC that can be isolated will ultimately be governed by the contents of the BM sample initially harvested. In addition, the absolute number of stem cells isolated from the initial BM sample will then be significantly influenced by the pre-enrichment strategies used.% e3 k$ Z1 D: U8 y+ p
: b( c; X! g( J5 ~7 ^3 b7 n1 K# F
We have described methods, based on grinding bones and enzymatic digestion to recover maximal numbers of marrow cells and HSC, that enable the purification of HSC from the endosteal and central marrow regions and, for the first time, a direct comparison of their hemopoietic potential. Using these methods, we have shown that HSC with a well-defined phenotype (LSK), isolated from the endosteal marrow region, have significantly enhanced hemopoietic potential compared with their central marrow counterparts. Endosteal LSK cells have a greater proliferation potential when cultured in stromal-free conditions in serum-deprived media supplemented with a potent combination of early acting synergistic growth factors and contain a significantly greater number of HPP-CFC.

Furthermore, endosteal LSK cells had greater in vivo hemopoietic potential. Following transplantation into nonablated recipients, a twofold increase in the homing efficiency of endosteal LSK cells was observed, combined with a greater preference to relodge within the endosteal region of the BM. In addition, a limiting dilution competitive transplant model demonstrated equivalent short-term hemopoietic reconstituting potential but increased long-term reconstituting potential of endosteal LSK cells compared with those isolated from the central BM core. Such a functional difference in HSC within a highly enriched BM subfraction isolated using the same phenotype has not previously been described, but it could in part be attributed to their enhanced ability to home and lodge within the endosteal region. In addition, the endosteal LSK fraction might be enriched for primitive long-term repopulating cells compared with the LSK fraction isolated from central marrow. Accordingly, it is tempting to speculate that these more primitive endosteal cells have cell-autonomous properties that enable them to outcompete central LSK cells. Our initial studies did not demonstrate any differences in expression of cell-adhesion molecules, known to be involved in regulating homing of HSC to the BM, including CXCR4, CD49d, and PSGL-1.( }( z) t! ~  `# |: H) U

The reasons endosteal LSK cells have enhanced homing and in vivo hemopoietic potential remains unclear but clearly warrants further investigation. It is possible that treatment of bone fragments with collagenase and dispase could affect cell surface receptors involved in the short-term homing of HSC (LSK cells) to the bone marrow, or their survival and proliferation in vivo. Moreover, treatment of bone fragments with these enzymes might also release bone proteins or factors that influence HSC functions and contribute to the observed difference in hemopoietic potential of endosteally or centrally isolated LSK cells. To investigate this possibility, we conducted a series of experiments in which central LSK cells were incubated with collagenase and dispase or with supernatant from enzyme digested bone fragments and then assessed the immunoreactivity of antibodies to cell surface receptors, including Sca-1, c-kit, PSGL-1, CD49d, CXCR4, CD34, and flt3. In each case, the immunoreactivity of antibodies to each of these cell surface receptors was unchanged. Accordingly, we suggest that the increased functional characteristics of LSK cells isolated from the endosteal region is not attributable to the effect of enzymes on these specific receptors. Nevertheless, it is possible that previously unrecognized cell surface receptors involved in regulating stem cell homing, lodgement, and survival might be cleaved, revealed, or upregulated by this method of isolation and thus contribute to the enhanced hemopoietic activity of endosteal LSK cells. Despite this caveat, our data demonstrate that HSC isolated from the endosteal region exhibit greater hemopoietic potential than those harvested from the central marrow region, an observation that has direct implications for BM transplantation.( {5 r2 N6 a% f& z7 C# T" m" k
) G2 B- H$ E2 [
Our data also demonstrate that the BM harvesting methodology directly affects the number and quality of the HSC subsequently isolated. This has important implications for the field. The vast majority of studies that address the immunophenotypic functional properties of HSC have been performed on BM obtained using the simple, traditional flushing technique , these studies have never assessed whether the method of marrow harvest influences the yield or hemopoietic potential of isolated HSC.

The impact of the method of BM harvesting may be far-reaching. For example, studies analyzing the cell cycle rate of HSC isolated by flushing the central core .

It is surprising that studies aimed at identifying components of the HSC niche and their regulatory roles in maintaining the HSC pool have also neglected to consider that the method of BM harvesting results in the isolation of HSC from different regions of the BM with different properties . By exploiting the ability of different isolation methods, we could further delineate the roles of specific molecules in HSC regulation.

One previous study specifically analyzed the impact of the initial cell harvesting procedure on the quantity and quality of hemopoietic progenitors isolated from the BM . However, this study did not involve the enzymatic digestion of bones to release hemopoietic cells known to remain attached to bone fragments, nor did it separate and directly compare the hemopoietic potential of HSC isolated from the endosteal and central bone marrow regions.

In a study by Funk et al. , bone-associated marrow cells were isolated using 2 mg/ml collagenase and 2.4 U of dispase for 2 hours at 37¡ãC. However, the potential effects of enzymatic digestion on cell surface antigen expression were not analyzed or discussed.. I. A, ~: L5 s7 G' h

Research into normal and perturbed hemopoiesis is underpinned by the isolation, characterization, and utilization of murine HSC and has resulted in more than 11,500 publications since 1970. Methods for reproducible harvesting of BM and optimal isolation of defined populations of hemopoietic stem and progenitor cells are critical for this research. As HSC are a rare subpopulation of cells within the BM, any improvements to methods for isolating greater numbers of cells that represent a more homogeneous HSC population with increased in vitro and in vivo potential are of significant value to experimental hematologists. The method we describe for harvesting of BM and the isolation of HSC results in the recovery and isolation of HSC from the endosteal region that display greater hemopoietic potential than phenotypically identical (LSK) cells isolated from the central marrow area. We therefore suggest that this method be adopted as the method of choice for isolation of HSC for the analysis of molecules important in the HSC niche, transcriptional and proteomic profiling, and functional studies, including transplantation, gene marking, and ex vivo expansion. The broad use of this method for harvesting BM and subsequent isolation of HSC from mouse BM will make results from different laboratories more comparable.9 s0 b" L  C( v* t
