The bone marrow niche from the inside out: how megakaryocytes are shaped by and shape hematopoiesis. Blood 2022; 139:483-491.

Abstract
Megakaryocytes (MKs), the largest of the hematopoietic cells, are responsible for producing platelets by extending and depositing long proplatelet extensions into the bloodstream. The traditional view of megakaryopoiesis describes the cellular journey from hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) along the myeloid branch of hematopoiesis. However, recent studies suggest that MKs can be generated from multiple pathways, some of which do not require transit through multipotent or bipotent MK-erythroid progenitor stages in steady-state and emergency conditions. Growing evidence suggests that these emergency conditions are due to stress-induced molecular changes in the bone marrow (BM) microenvironment, also called the BM niche. These changes can result from insults that affect the BM cellular composition, microenvironment, architecture, or a combination of these factors. In this review, we explore MK development, focusing on recent studies showing that MKs can be generated from multiple divergent pathways. We highlight how the BM niche may encourage and alter these processes using different mechanisms of communication, such as direct cell-to-cell contact, secreted molecules (autocrine and paracrine signaling), and the release of cellular components (eg, extracellular vesicles). We also explore how MKs can actively build and shape the surrounding BM niche.

Abstract
AIM Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is known as a barely curable malignancy. Particular mutations involved in apoptosis may have a main role in the onset of ALL in the pediatric patients. It has been proven that cycloxygenase-2 is capable of impairing the apoptosis pathway through mitochondria in tumor cells. METHODOLOGY In this study, we investigated selective toxicity of a newly synthesized chalconeferrocenyl derivative as a selective cycloxygenase-2 inhibitor in ALL and healthy B-lymphocytes, and also isolated mitochondria obtained from them. For this purpose, we evaluated the cellar parameters like viability, apoptosis/necrosis, caspase-3 activation and ATP content, and also mitochondrial parameters like mitochondrial membrane potential decline, reactive oxygen species formation, cytochrome C release and mitochondrial swelling. CONCLUSION Our results implied that this compound can selectively induce cellular and mitochondrial toxicity in cancerous ALL B-lymphocytes and obtained mitochondria from them without any detrimental effects on healthy subjects.

Abstract
Hematopoietic stem cells play the vital role of maintaining appropriate levels of cells in blood. Therefore, regulation of their fate is essential for their effective therapeutic use. Here we report the role of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in regulating hematopoiesis which has not been explored well so far. Mice were fed daily for 10 days with n-6/n-3 PUFAs, viz. linoleic acid (LA), arachidonic acid (AA), alpha-linolenic acid and docosahexanoic acid (DHA) in four separate test groups with phosphate-buffered saline fed mice as control set. The bone marrow cells of PUFA-fed mice showed a significantly higher hematopoiesis as assessed using side population, Lin-Sca-1+ckit+, colony-forming unit (CFU), long-term culture, CFU-spleen assay and engraftment potential as compared to the control set. Thrombopoiesis was also stimulated in PUFA-fed mice. A combination of DHA and AA was found to be more effective than when either was fed individually. Higher incorporation of PUFAs as well as products of their metabolism was observed in the bone marrow cells of PUFA-fed mice. A stimulation of the Wnt, CXCR4 and Notch1 pathways was observed in PUFA-fed mice. The clinical relevance of this study was evident when bone marrow-transplanted recipient mice, which were fed with PUFAs, showed higher engraftment of donor cells, suggesting that the bone marrow microenvironment may also be stimulated by feeding with PUFAs. These data indicate that oral administration of PUFAs in mice stimulates hematopoiesis and thrombopoiesis and could serve as a valuable supplemental therapy in situations of hematopoietic failure.

Genome-Wide Association Study Identifies Novel Pharmacogenomic Loci For Therapeutic Response to Montelukast in Asthma. PLoS One 2015; 10:e0129385. [PMID: 26083242 PMCID: PMC4470685 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0129385] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/17/2015] [Accepted: 05/07/2015] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Genome-wide association study (GWAS) is a powerful tool to identify novel pharmacogenetic single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Leukotriene receptor antagonists (LTRAs) are a major class of asthma medications, and genetic factors contribute to variable responses to these drugs. We used GWAS to identify novel SNPs associated with the response to the LTRA, montelukast, in asthmatics. Methods Using genome-wide genotype and phenotypic data available from American Lung Association - Asthma Clinical Research Center (ALA-ACRC) cohorts, we evaluated 8-week change in FEV1 related to montelukast administration in a discovery population of 133 asthmatics. The top 200 SNPs from the discovery GWAS were then tested in 184 additional samples from two independent cohorts. Results Twenty-eight SNP associations from the discovery GWAS were replicated. Of these, rs6475448 achieved genome-wide significance (combined P = 1.97 x 10-09), and subjects from all four studies who were homozygous for rs6475448 showed increased ΔFEV1 from baseline in response to montelukast. Conclusions Through GWAS, we identified a novel pharmacogenomic locus related to improved montelukast response in asthmatics.

Abstract
The long-chain omega-3 polyunsaturated (n-3 PUFA), eicosapentaenoic (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), may have anti-inflammatory effects. We evaluated the dose-response effect of EPA+DHA supplementation on circulating TNF-α, IL-6, and CRP and explored associations between red blood cell (RBC) membrane PUFA content and TNF-α, IL-6, and CRP. Young adults with low fish intake (n=116) received one of five doses (0, 300, 600, 900, or 1,800 mg/d EPA+DHA) for 5 months. There were no significant effects of supplemental EPA+DHA on IL-6 or CRP; however, there was a marginal treatment effect for TNF-α (p<0.08). At baseline, higher quartiles of RBC DHA were associated with lower TNF-α (p=0.001); higher quartiles of arachidonic acid were associated with higher TNF-α (p=0.005). EPA+DHA supplementation had no dose-response effect on TNF-α, IL-6, or CRP in healthy young adults; however, associations between inflammatory markers and RBC PUFA warrant further investigation.

Abstract
In holoendemic Plasmodium falciparum transmission regions, malarial anemia is a leading cause of childhood morbidity and mortality. Identifying biomarkers of malaria disease severity is important for identifying at-risk groups and for improved understanding of the molecular pathways that influence clinical outcomes. We have previously shown that decreased cyclooxygenase (COX)-2-derived prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) levels are associated with enhanced clinical severity in cerebral malaria, malarial anemia, and malaria during pregnancy. Since children with malaria often have increased incidence of additional infections, such as bacteremia and HIV-1, we extend our previous findings by investigating COX-2 and PGE2 in children with falciparum malaria and co-infection with either bacteremia or HIV-1. Plasma bicyclo-PGE2/creatinine levels and peripheral blood COX-2 transcripts were significantly reduced in co-infected children relative to those with malaria mono-infection. Furthermore, suppression of circulating bicyclo-PGE2 was significantly associated with reduced hemoglobin levels in both mono- and co-infected children with malaria, suggesting that bicyclo-PGE2 may represent both a marker and mediator of malaria pathogenesis.

Abstract
Many tissues of the body cannot only repair themselves, but also self-renew, a property mainly due to stem cells and the various mechanisms that regulate their behavior. Stem cell biology is a relatively new field. While advances are slowly being realized, stem cells possess huge potential to ameliorate disease and counteract the aging process, causing its speculation as the next panacea. Amidst public pressure to advance rapidly to clinical trials, there is a need to understand the biology of stem cells and to support basic research programs. Without a proper comprehension of how cells and tissues are maintained during the adult life span, clinical trials are bound to fail. This review will cover the basic biology of stem cells, the various types of stem cells, their potential function, and the advantages and disadvantages to their use in medicine. We will next cover the role of G protein-coupled receptors in the regulation of stem cells and their potential in future clinical applications.

Abstract
In holoendemic Plasmodium falciparum transmission areas, severe malaria primarily occurs in children aged <48 months and manifests as severe malarial anemia [SMA; hemoglobin (Hb) < 6.0 g/dL]. Induction of high levels of prostaglandin-E(2) (PGE(2)) through inducible cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is an important host-defense mechanism against invading pathogens. We have previously shown that COX-2-derived PGE(2) levels are reduced in children residing in hyperendemic transmission regions with cerebral malaria and in those with mixed sequelae of anemia and hyperparasitemia. Our in vitro studies further demonstrated that reduced PGE(2) was due to downregulation of COX-2 gene products following phagocytosis of malarial pigment (hemozoin, PfHz). However, as COX-2-PGE(2) pathways and the impact of naturally acquired PfHz on erythropoietic responses have not been determined in children with SMA, plasma and urinary bicyclo-PGE(2)/creatinine and leukocytic COX-2 transcripts were determined in parasitized children (<36 months) stratified into SMA (n = 36) and non-SMA (Hb ≥ 6.0 g/dL; n = 38). Children with SMA had significantly reduced plasma (P = 0.001) and urinary (P < 0.001) bicyclo-PGE(2)/creatinine and COX-2 transcripts (P = 0.007). There was a significant positive association between Hb and both plasma (r = 0.363, P = 0.002) and urinary (r = 0.500, P = 0.001)] bicyclo-PGE(2)/creatinine. Furthermore, decreased systemic bicyclo-PGE(2)/creatinine was associated with inefficient erythropoiesis (i.e., reticulocyte production index; RPI < 2.0, P = 0.026). Additional analyses demonstrated that plasma (P = 0.031) and urinary (P = 0.070) bicyclo-PGE(2)/creatinine and COX-2 transcripts (P = 0.026) progressively declined with increasing concentrations of naturally acquired PfHz by monocytes. Results presented here support a model in which reduced COX-2-derived PGE(2), driven in part by naturally acquired PfHz by monocytes, promotes decreased erythropoietic responses in children with SMA.

Abstract
Eicosanoids have been implicated in the physiological regulation of hematopoiesis with pleiotropic effects on hematopoietic stem cells and various classes of lineage restricted progenitor cells. Herein we review the effects of eicosanoids on hematopoiesis, focusing on new findings implicating prostaglandin E(2) in enhancing hematopoietic stem cell engraftment by enhancing stem cell homing, survival and self-renewal. We also describe a role for cannabinoids in hematopoiesis. Lastly, we discuss the yin and yang of various eicosanoids in modulating hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell functions and summarize potential strategies to take advantage of these effects for therapeutic benefit for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

Abstract
The effects of the polyunsaturated omega-3 (n-3) and omega-6 (n-6) fatty acids (FA) on hematopoiesis are complex in that both FA forms are processed into leukotrienes, eicosanoids, and prostaglandins, which can have independent effects. These FA have antagonistic effects in that n-6 FA prostaglandins tend to be pro-proliferative and pro-inflammatory, while the effects of n-3 FA prostaglandins are the opposite. We have previously shown that diets high in n-3 FA reduce the size of the middle to later stage myeloid progenitor compartment in FVB X sv129 F(1)hybrid mice. To assay the effects of high n-3 FA diets on earlier stages of myelopoiesis, we fed C57BL/6J mice diets high in n-3 FA or levels of n-3/n-6 FA similar to western diets and assayed the effects on myelopoiesis with flow cytometry and colony forming cell assays. Results indicate an expansion of the common myeloid progenitor cell compartment in high n-3 FA diets, which does not persist into later stages where the number of progenitor cells is actually lower in high n-3 FA fed animals. Investigations in vitro with the hematopoietic stem cell line EML-clone 1 indicate that cells cultured with eicosapentaenoic acid (n-3 FA) or arachidonic acid (n-6 FA) have no differences in cell viability but that arachidonic acid more rapidly produces progenitors with low levels of the macrophage developmental marker, F4/80.

Abstract
Stem cells have great potential for understanding early development, treating human disease, tissue trauma and early phase drug discovery. The factors that control the regulation of stem cell survival, proliferation, migration and differentiation are still emerging. Some evidence now exists demonstrating the potent effects of various G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) ligands on the biology of stem cells. This review aims to give an overview of the current knowledge of the regulation of embryonic and somatic stem cell maintenance and differentiation by GPCR ligands.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gliomas are tumors of the central nervous system derived from glial cells. They show cellular heterogeneity and lack specific diagnostic markers. Although a possible role for the eicosanoid cascade has been suggested in glioma tumorigenesis, the relationship between enzymes and receptors implicated in arachidonic acid metabolism, with histological tumor type has not yet been determined. DESIGN AND METHODS Quantitative real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction was performed to measure and compare transcript levels of enzymes and receptors implicated in both lipoxygenase and cyclooxygenase pathways between oligodendrogliomas, astrocytomas, glioblastomas and mixed oligoastrocytomas. RESULTS Arachidonic acid metabolism-related enzymes and receptor transcripts (i) were underexpressed in classical oligodendrogliomas compared to astrocytomas and/or glioblastomas, (ii) differed between astrocytomas and glioblastomas and (iii) had an intermediate expression in mixed oligoastrocytomas. CONCLUSIONS mRNA levels of enzymes and receptors implicated both in lipoxygenase and cyclooxygenase pathways differed significantly in gliomas according to the histological type.

Abstract
Platelet activating factor (PAF) and PAF-like lipids induce inflammatory responses in target cells. These lipid mediators are inactivated by PAF-acetylhydrolase (PAF-AH). The PAF signaling system affects the growth of hematopoietic CD34(+) cells, but roles for PAF-AH in this process are unknown. Here, we investigated PAF-AH function during megakaryopoiesis and found that human CD34(+) cells accumulate this enzymatic activity as they differentiate toward megakaryocytes, consistent with the expression of mRNA and protein for the plasma PAF-AH isoform. Inhibition of endogenous PAF-AH activity in differentiated megakaryocytes increased formation of lipid mediators that signaled the PAF receptor (PAFR) in fully differentiated human cells such as neutrophils, as well as megakaryocytes themselves. PAF-AH also controlled megakaryocyte alpha(IIb)beta(3)-dependent adhesion, cell spreading, and mobility that relied on signaling through the PAFR. Together these data suggest that megakaryocytes generate PAF-AH to modulate the accumulation of intracellular phospholipid mediators that may detrimentally affect megakaryocyte development and function.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Omega 3 fatty acids have been found to inhibit proliferation, induce apoptosis, and promote differentiation in various cell types. The processes of cell survival, expansion, and differentiation are of key importance in the regulation of hematopoiesis. We investigated the role of omega 3 fatty acids in controlling the frequency of various myeloid progenitor cells in the bone marrow of mice. Increased progenitor cell frequency and blocked differentiation are characteristics of hematopoietic disorders of the myeloid lineage, such as myeloproliferative diseases and myeloid leukemias. RESULTS We found that increasing the proportion of omega 3 fatty acids relative to the proportion of omega 6 fatty acids in the diet caused increased differentiation and reduced the frequency of myeloid progenitor cells in the bone marrow of mice. Furthermore, this had no adverse effect on peripheral white blood cell counts. CONCLUSION Our results indicate that omega 3 fatty acids impact hematopoietic differentiation by reducing myeloid progenitor cell frequency in the bone marrow and promoting progenitor cell differentiation. Further exploration of this discovery could lead to the use of omega 3 fatty acids as a therapeutic option for patients that have various disorders of hematopoiesis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The present study was aimed at characterizing the expression and activity of cyclooxygenase (COX) isoenzymes in erythropoiesis. METHODS The expression and activity of cyclooxygenase (COX) and prostaglandin (PG) synthases were investigated in: 1) erythroblasts developed in culture from human CD34(+) hematopoietic progenitors, 2) erythroblasts in bone marrow specimens, and 3) peripheral erythrocytes isolated from healthy donors and from patients with a high regeneration rate of erythrocytes. RESULTS While COX-1 protein was observed at each stage of erythroblast development, COX-2 protein was induced at later stages through a p38/MAPK-dependent pathway. Both COX isoforms were also observed in mature erythroblasts of the bone marrow. Erythroblasts developed in culture synthesized significantly more PGE(2) than TXB(2) and indomethacin delayed erythroid maturation. COX-1 and COX-2 were also observed in erythrocytes by immunostainings, although COX expression was confined to a fraction of circulating erythrocytes. Peripheral erythrocytes synthesized low but detectable amounts of PGE(2) and TXB(2). Similarly to erythroblast progenitors, PGE(2) was the prevalent prostanoid released by erythrocytes. This biosynthetic capacity was significantly increased in erythrocytes from patients with accelerated erythropoiesis as compared to controls. CONCLUSIONS Both COX isoforms are present and enzymatically active during human erythropoiesis, although with different kinetics, and COX-derived prostanoids may play a role in erythroid maturation. Furthermore, peripheral erythrocytes retain in part the capacity of expressing COX and synthesizing prostanoids, which may contribute to the hemostatic/thrombotic response to vascular injury in different diseases, including congenital hemolytic disorders.

Abstract
Cyclooxygenase (COX)-1 or -2 and specific prostaglandin (PG) synthases catalyze the formation of various PGs. We investigated the expression and activity of COX-1 and -2 during granulocyte-oriented maturation induced by all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA) of NB4 cells, originated from a human acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), and in blasts from APL patients. The expression of COX isoenzymes or prostaglandin synthases was also investigated in circulating granulocytes and human bone marrow. COX-1 was expressed and enzymatically active in NB4 cells and primary blasts. COX-1 mRNA and protein were induced by ATRA. COX-1 protein increased approximately 2-3.5-fold by culture day 3 in NB4 cells and primary blasts, while basal COX-2 expression was very low and unaffected by ATRA. COX-1-dependent PGE(2) biosynthesis increased during differentiation approx. 5-fold. Indomethacin and the selective COX-1 inhibitor SC-560, but not selective COX-2 inhibition, impaired NB4 differentiation, reducing NADPH-oxidase activity, CD11b and CD11c expression. The immunohistochemistry of granulocytes and myeloid precursors in the bone marrow showed a large prevalence of COX-1 as compared to COX-2. In conclusion, COX-1 is induced during ATRA-dependent maturation and appears to contribute to myeloid differentiation both in vitro and ex vivo, and COX-1 activity may potentiate the differentiation of human APL.Leukemia (2004) 18, 1373-1379. doi:10.1038/sj.leu.2403407 Published online 10 June 2004

Abstract
Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a hematopoietic stem cell disease, the hallmark of which is the Bcr-Abl protein tyrosine kinase (PTK). Without intervention the disease progresses from a benign chronic phase to a rapidly fatal blast crisis. To identify the molecular mechanisms underlying disease progression we used two-dimensional gel electrophoresis on a model we have previously described using the expression of a conditional mutant of Bcr-Abl PTK in a multipotent stem cell line, FDCP-Mix. Long term exposure of FDCP-Mix cells to Bcr-Abl mimics disease progression in CML. Four major differences were observed as a consequence of long term exposure to the Bcr-Abl PTK compared with cells exposed short term. The proteins were identified using matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry-generated peptide mass fingerprint data and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry-generated sequence information. Leukotriene A4 hydrolase, an enzyme known to be deregulated in CML, was found to be up-regulated. Annexin VI, vacuolar ATP synthase catalytic subunit A, and mortalin were found to be down-regulated. Poly(A) PCR cDNA analysis showed there was no correlation between the protein expression changes and mRNA levels. Western blot analysis also indicated no change in the levels of mortalin or leukotriene A4 hydrolase, indicating that post-translational events may modify protein content of the specific spots. Leukotriene B4 levels (product of leukotriene A4 hydrolase) were, however, reduced in cells exposed long term to Bcr-Abl activity. This study demonstrates the potential of proteomic analysis to define novel effects of oncogenes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The detailed examination of the molecular events that control the early stages of myeloid differentiation has been hampered by the relative scarcity of hematopoietic stem cells and the lack of suitable cell line models. In this study, we examined the expression of several myeloid and nonmyeloid genes in the murine EML hematopoietic stem cell line. METHODS Expression patterns for 19 different genes were examined by Northern blotting and RT-PCR in RNA samples from EML, a variety of other immortalized cell lines, and purified murine hematopoietic stem cells. Representational difference analysis (RDA) was performed to identify differentially expressed genes in EML. RESULTS Expression patterns of genes encoding transcription factors (four members of the C/EBP family, GATA-1, GATA-2, PU.1, CBFbeta, SCL, and c-myb) in EML were examined and were consistent with the proposed functions of these proteins in hematopoietic differentiation. Expression levels of three markers of terminal myeloid differentiation (neutrophil elastase, proteinase 3, and Mac-1) were highest in EML cells at the later stages of differentiation. In a search for genes that were differentially expressed in EML cells during myeloid differentiation, six cDNAs were isolated. These included three known genes (lysozyme, histidine decarboxylase, and tryptophan hydroxylase) and three novel genes. CONCLUSION Expression patterns of known genes in differentiating EML cells accurately reflected their expected expression patterns based on previous studies. The identification of three novel genes, two of which encode proteins that may act as regulators of hematopoietic differentiation, suggests that EML is a useful model system for the molecular analysis of hematopoietic differentiation.

Abstract
Eicosanoids have been shown to be potent immunoregulatory arachidonic acid (AA) metabolites. AA is the precursor of prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) and leukotriene B(4) (LTB(4)) which are able to modulate both inflammation and the immune response. Dendritic cells process and present antigens to T lymphocytes. They are highly specialized antigen-presenting cells (APC) and usually considered as 'professional APC'. In the present paper, we report some data on the biosynthetic capacity of murine APC from the bone marrow (BM-DCs) to produce AA metabolites. Using an ELISA we have observed that BM-DCs spontaneously produce both PGE(2) and LTB(4) whose production increased in response to bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS). In addition we found that LTB(4) production was twice as high when both COX pathways were blocked with selective COX-inhibitors. We have also investigated the effect of PGE(2) and LTB(4) on the in vitro generation of the so-called BM-DCs. Exogenous PGE(2) and LTB(4) added to bone marrow cultures inhibit and promote, respectively, BM-DC generation. PGE(2) added to the maturing BM-DCs reduces their MHC class-II expression.

Abstract
Recent studies suggest that bone marrow (BM)-derived chemotactic mediators such as chemokines play key roles in hematopoietic stem cell trafficking. Lipid mediators, particularly leukotrienes, are involved in leukocyte chemotaxis during inflammation but have also been detected in the normal BM. Therefore, the effects of leukotrienes on hematopoietic progenitor cells were analyzed. Cysteinyl leukotrienes, particularly leukotriene D4 (LTD4), induced strong intracellular calcium fluxes and actin polymerization in mobilized and BM CD34(+) progenitors. Chemotaxis and in vitro transendothelial migration of CD34(+) and more primitive CD34(+)/CD38(-) cells were 2-fold increased by LTD4 at an optimum concentration of 25 to 50 nM. Accordingly, CD34(+) cells expressed the 7-transmembrane LTD4 receptor CysLT1 by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction and Western blot. Effects of LTD4 were suppressed by the CysLT1 receptor antagonist MK-571 and reduced by pertussis toxin. In contrast, LTB4 induced strong responses only in mature granulocytes. LTD4-induced calcium fluxes were also observed in granulocytes but were not reduced by MK-571, suggesting that these effects were mediated by other receptors (eg, CysLT2) rather than by CysLT1. In addition, expression of 5-lipoxygenase, the key enzyme of leukotriene biosynthesis, was detected in both hematopoietic progenitor cells and mature leukocytes. The study concludes that the functionally active LTD4 receptor CysLT1 is preferentially expressed in immature hematopoietic progenitor cells. LTD4 released in the BM might regulate progenitor cell trafficking and could also act as an autocrine mediator of hematopoiesis. This would be a first physiologic effect of cysteinyl leukotrienes apart from the many known pathophysiologic actions related to allergy and inflammation. (Blood. 2001;97:3433-3440)

Abstract
The influence of lipoxygenase metabolites of arachidonic acid on proliferation and differentiation of CD34(+) cells was studied. Their effects on the CFU-GM and BFU-E progenitors were investigated by culture of CD34(+) cells in liquid or semisolid medium. Only 12-HETE (1 microM) stimulated the [(3)H]thymidine as well as BrdU incorporation and increased the number of cell divisions (PKH2 tracking). Addition of 12-HETE and 15-HETE but not of LXA(4), LXB(4), LTB(4), and LTC(4) to liquid cultures of CD34(+) cells for 3 and 8 days reduced in a time-dependent manner the number of CFU-GM and BFU-E. Both HETEs also increased the percentage of glycophorin A(+) cells while they reduced the percentage of CD34(-)/CD33(+) cells after 3 and 5 days of liquid cultures. These results show that HETE treatment stimulates proliferation and accelerates the differentiation of CD34(+) cells, mostly toward the erythroid lineage.

Abstract
The EML hematopoietic progenitor cell line is a model system for studying molecular events regulating myeloid commitment and terminal differentiation. We used representational difference analysis to identify genes that are expressed differentially during myeloid differentiation of EML cells. One gene (named mAKRa) encoded a novel member of the aldoketo reductase (AKR) superfamily of cytosolic NAD(P)(H)-dependent oxidoreductases. mAKRa mRNA was detected in murine hematopoietic tissues including bone marrow, spleen, and thymus. In myeloid cell lines, mAKRa was expressed at highest levels in cells representative of promyelocytes. mAKRa mRNA levels increased rapidly in response to interleukin-3 over the first 24 h of EML cell differentiation when the cells undergo lineage commitment and extensive proliferation. mAKRa mRNA levels decreased later in the differentiation process particularly when the EML cells were cultured with granulocyte/macrophage colony-stimulating factor and retinoic acid to induce terminal granulocytic maturation. mAKRa mRNA levels decreased during retinoic acid-induced terminal granulocytic differentiation of the MPRO promyelocyte cell line. AKRs act as molecular switches by catalyzing the interconversion or inactivation of bioactive molecules including steroids and prostaglandins. We propose that mAKRa may catalyze the production or catabolism of autocrine factors that promote the proliferation and/or lineage commitment of early myeloid progenitors.

Abstract
Arachidonic acid (AA), a fatty acid found in the human bone marrow plasma, is the precursor of eicosanoids that modulate bone marrow haematopoiesis. To further our understanding of the role of AA in the bone marrow physiology, we have assessed its incorporation in human bone marrow mononuclear cells. Gas chromatography analysis indicates the presence of AA in their fatty acid composition. In bone marrow mononuclear cells, [3H]-AA is incorporated into triglycerides and is later delivered into phospholipids, a result not observed with blood mononuclear cells. Prelabelling-chase experiments indicate a trafficking of labelled AA from phosphatidylcholine to phosphatidylethanolamine. Stimulation of prelabelled bone marrow mononuclear cells with granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) results in the release of a part of the incorporated labelled AA. Finally, exogenous AA (up to 1 microM) has no significant effect on cell growth. In conclusion, human bone marrow mononuclear cells participate to the control of marrow AA concentrations by incorporating AA into phospholipids and triglycerides. In turn, bone marrow mononuclear cells can release AA in response to the potent haematopoietic growth factor GM-CSF.

Abstract
Human bone marrow stromal cells regulate the growth of marrow hematopoietic progenitors by secreting cytokines. Arachidonic acid (AA) is the fatty acid precursor of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and leukotriene B4 (LTB4) that modulate the growth of human bone marrow progenitors. We have investigated the incorporation of AA in human bone marrow stromal cell cultures, their production of PGE2 and LTB4 and the effect of AA on their growth. Gas chromatography analysis reveals the presence of AA in the human bone marrow plasma and in bone marrow stromal cell cultures. In stromal cells, [3H]-AA is incorporated into triglycerides and is later delivered into phospholipids. Prelabeling-chase experiments indicate a preferential incorporation of AA into phosphatidylethanolamine and no trafficking of labeled AA between phospholipid species. Bone marrow stromal cells release PGE2 and LTB4 in response to phorbol myristic acetate (PMA) (1 microM) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) (10 ng/ml). Exogenous AA (up to 1 microM) has no significant effect on cell growth. In conclusion, human bone marrow stromal cells capt exogenous AA and, thus, may participate to the control of marrow AA concentrations. They may also regulate human marrow hematopoiesis by secreting AA metabolites such as PGE2 and LTB4.
