Abstract
In the present study, surface CD1d, which is involved in immune cell interactions, was assessed for effects on hematopoiesis. Mouse BM hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs) express CD1d. The numbers and cycling status of HPCs in the BM and spleen of different strains of cd1d(-/-) mice were enhanced significantly, suggesting that CD1d is a negative regulator of HPCs. In support of this, CD1d was required for the SCF and Flt3 ligand synergistic enhancement of CSF induction of HPC colony formation and for HPC response to myelosuppressive chemokines. Colony formation by immature subsets of HPCs was greatly enhanced when normal, but not cd1d(-/-), BM cells were pretreated with CD1d Abs in vitro. These effects required the full CD1d cytoplasmic tail. In contrast, long-term, but not short-term, repopulating HSC engraftment was impaired significantly, an effect that was minimally influenced by the presence of a truncated CD1d cytoplasmic tail. Pretreatment of normal BM cells with CD1d Abs greatly enhanced their engraftment of HSCs. The results of the present study implicate CD1d in a previously unrecognized regulatory role of normal and stressed hematopoiesis.

Abstract
CD4(+)CD25(+)FoxP3(+) regulatory T cells (Tregs) possess the capacity to modulate both adaptive and innate immune responses. We hypothesized that Tregs could regulate hematopoiesis based on cytokine effector molecules they can produce. The studies here demonstrate that Tregs can affect the differentiation of myeloid progenitor cells. In vitro findings demonstrated the ability of Tregs to inhibit the differentiation of interleukin-3 (IL-3)/stem cell factor (colony-forming unit [CFU]-IL3)-driven progenitor cells. Inhibitory effects were mediated by a pathway requiring cell-cell contact, major histocompatibility complex class II expression on marrow cells, and transforming growth factor-beta. Importantly, depletion of Tregs in situ resulted in enhanced CFU-IL3 levels after bone marrow transplantation. Cotransplantation of CD4(+)FoxP3(+)(gfp) Tregs together with bone marrow was found to diminish CFU-IL3 responses after transplantation. To address the consequence of transplanted Tregs on differentiated progeny from these CFU 2 weeks after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, peripheral blood complete blood counts were performed and examined for polymorphonuclear leukocyte content. Recipients of cotransplanted Tregs exhibited diminished neutrophil counts. Together, these findings illustrate that both recipient and donor Tregs can influence hematopoietic progenitor cell activity after transplantation and that these cells can alter responses outside the adaptive and innate immune systems.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Iron-binding proteins H-ferritin (HF) and lactoferrin (LF), as well as chemokines, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, and interferon (IFN)-gamma suppress hematopoietic progenitor cell (HPC) proliferation. Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II antigens have been associated with suppressive effects of HF and LF. Because the transcription factor class II transactivator (CIITA) regulates expression of MHC class II antigens, we evaluated influences of CIITA and MHC class II antigens on suppression of colony formation by murine bone marrow HPC in response to HF, LF, CC, and CXC chemokines, TNF-alpha, and IFN-gamma. We also evaluated hematopoiesis in mice deficient in both CIITA and MHC class II antigens (CIITA -/-), in mice deficient in MHC class II antigens but not in CIITA (MHC class II -/-), and in mice deficient in CIITA but not in MHC class II antigens (CIITA-IE). MATERIALS AND METHODS HF, LF, CCL3/MIP-1alpha, CXCL5/ENA-78, CXCL8/IL-8, CCL5/RANTES, TNF-alpha, and IFN-gamma were assessed for effects on colony formation by bone marrow HPC (colony-forming unit granulocyte-macrophage, burst-forming unit erythroid, and colony-forming unit multipotential) stimulated in vitro by combinations of growth factors including erythropoietin, stem cell factor, pokeweed mitogen mouse spleen cell conditioned medium, and hemin. Bone marrow cells were from CIITA -/-, MHC class II antigen -/-, CIITA-IE, and littermate control mice. We also evaluated cycling status (percent cells in S-phase) and absolute numbers of marrow and spleen HPC in these mice. RESULTS Multiple growth factor-stimulated colony formation by control bone marrow HPC was significantly suppressed by HF, LF, CCL3, CXCL5, CXCL8, TNF-alpha, and IFN-gamma, but not by CCL5. However, HPC from CIITA -/- and MHC class II antigen -/- mouse marrow was insensitive to inhibition by HF, LF, CCL3, CXCL5, CXCL8, and CCL5; these HPC were inhibited by TNF-alpha and IFN-gamma. Restoration of MHC class II expression in CIITA -/- (CIITA-IE) mice restored responsiveness of HPC to inhibition by HF, LF, CCL3, CXCL5, and CXCL8. Increased cycling of splenic HPC in CIITA -/- and MHC class II antigen -/-, compared to control and CIITA-IE, mice was noted. CONCLUSIONS Myelosuppressive effects of iron-binding proteins HF and LF and chemokines CCL3, CXCL5, and CXCL8 on mouse bone marrow HPC require expression of MHC class II antigens, and CIITA is involved in this responsiveness through its regulation of expression of MHC class II antigens.

Abstract
Class II genes of the MHC show a striking homology upstream of the transcription start site that is composed of three conserved sequences (S, X and Y boxes, each separated by 15-20 bp). The presence of the S-box sequence in the mouse MHC class II gene I-A Beta was examined for its influence on the expression of this gene. Deletion or mutation of the S box decreased the induction of chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) activity in B lymphocytes by 32%. In macrophages, deletion or mutation of the S box abolished interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) inducibility of CAT activity. Using a gel-retardation assay, we have identified a nuclear factor whose binding site overlaps the 7-mer conserved sequence of the S box. This factor is present in lymphocytes, macrophages, mastocytes and fibroblasts. Surprisingly, binding of this nuclear factor to DNA was induced by IFN-gamma in bone-marrow-derived macrophages, but not in macrophage-like cell lines. The binding site for this factor was defined by DNase I footprinting and partially purified by using an affinity column containing double-stranded oligonucleotides containing a sequence of the S box. A prominent protein of 43 kDa was found that bound specifically to the S-box sequence.

Abstract
Ferritin inhibition of myelopoiesis has been associated with intrinsic ferroxidase activity of heavy-chain ferritin and with production of a monokine inhibitor of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-augmented monocytopoiesis. We report here that intrinsic ferroxidase activity of heavy-chain ferritin is required for stimulated production of the monokine inhibitor of LPS-augmented monocytopoiesis.

Abstract
Human heavy-chain (H-) ferritin muteins obtained by oligonucleotide site-directed mutagenesis, together with wild-type recombinant human H- and light-chain (L-) ferritins, were evaluated for in vitro effects on the suppression of human bone marrow myeloid progenitor cells and for in vivo effects on marrow and splenic myelopoiesis in C3H/HeJ mice. The 10 H-ferritin muteins exhibited alterations of various regions of the molecule, including ones exposed on the outer surface, on the inner cavity, and on the hydrophilic and hydrophobic channels and of the four-alpha-helix bundle forming the subunit structure. They were stable and were electrophoretically analogous to wild-type H-ferritin. The muteins showed in vitro and in vivo myelosuppressive activity analogous to wild type, except for mutein 222, which was totally inactive and which lacked ferroxidase activity. Recombinant human L-ferritin, devoid of ferroxidase activity, was also inactive as a suppressor. The results demonstrate that H-ferritin myelosuppressive and ferroxidase activities are linked. One possibility is that ferroxidase activity may interfere with the cellular uptake of transferrin iron that is needed for cell proliferation, an interpretation consistent with the presently described ability of hemin to overcome H-ferritin suppressive effects.

Abstract
We tested the hypothesis that anti-placental folate receptor (PFR) antiserum-mediated effects on hematopoietic progenitor cells in vitro of increased cell proliferation and megaloblastic morphology were independent responses. We determined that (a) purified IgG from anti-PFR antiserum reacted with purified apo- and holo-PFR and specifically immunoprecipitated a single (44-kD) iodinated moiety on cell surfaces of low density mononuclear cells (LDMNC); (b) when retained in culture during in vitro hematopoiesis, anti-PFR IgG (in contrast to PFR-neutralized anti-PFR IgG and nonimmune IgG) consistently led to increased cloning efficiency of colony forming unit-erythroid (CFU-E), burst forming unit-E (BFU-E), CFU-granulocyte macrophage (CFU-GM), and CFU-GEM megakaryocyte (CFU-GEMM), and objectively defined megaloblastic changes in orthochromatic normoblasts from CFU-E- and BFU-E-derived colonies; (c) when anti-PFR antiserum was removed after initial (less than 1 h) incubation with LDMNC, a cell proliferation response was induced, but megaloblastic changes were not evident. (d) Conversely, delay at 4 degrees C for 24 h before long-term plating with antiserum resulted in megaloblastosis without increased cell proliferation; (e) however, 500-fold molar excess extracellular folate concentrations completely abrogated the expected anti-PFR antiserum-induced megaloblastic changes, without altering cell proliferative responses. Thus, although cell proliferative and megaloblastic changes are induced after short-term and prolonged interaction of antibody with folate receptors on hematopoietic progenitors, respectively, they are independent effects.

Abstract
Mononuclear cells from peripheral blood or bone marrow from 314 patients with acute myeloid leukaemia were examined for the presence of nuclear terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (304 patients), surface membrane expression of HLA-DR (314 patients) and the common acute lymphoblastic leukaemia antigen (281 patients). All patients were treated with identical remission induction chemotherapy, and morphological diagnosis was carried out in a central laboratory. The overall complete remission rate was 70%. There were no significant correlations between the immunological markers and complete remission rate, duration of remission, or survival.

Abstract
Chronic leukemias account for fewer than 5 per cent of childhood hematologic malignancies. The various subtypes are chronic mylocytic leukemia (adult, juvenile, and familial), chronic myelomonocytic leukemia chronic monocytic leukemia, and chronic lymphocytic leukemia. The most common of these, adult-type chronic myelocytic leukemia, is characterized by specific cytogenetic alterations; recent advances in molecular biology are linking these genetic events to the pathophysiology and course of this fascinating neoplasm.

Abstract
The responsiveness of marrow granulocyte progenitors (CFU-D) to macrophage-derived stimulatory and inhibitory factors has been studied using diffusion chamber technique in 12 patients with neutrophilic leukemoid reaction (with granulocyte count in the range between 10-40 G/l) and ten healthy subjects. CFU-D from patients with neutrophilic leukemoid reaction (NLR) revealed a normal reactivity to colony-stimulating activity, whereas they were hyporesponsive to macrophage-derived indomethacin-sensitive inhibition. This altered response was correlated both with the concentration of granulocyte progenitors in the S phase and with blood neutrophilic leukocytosis. In patients with higher granulocyte count and increased concentration of CFU-D during active DNA synthesis a more pronounced hyporesponsiveness of granulocyte progenitors to macrophage-induced inhibition has been found.

Abstract
A patient with Philadelphia chromosome (Ph) chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), in chronic phase, was treated with recombinant gamma-interferon (r gamma-IFN) in a phase I clinical trial. Prior to treatment, analysis of in vitro agar culture parameters indicated hyporesponsiveness of granulocyte-macrophage colony-forming cells (CFU-GM) to inhibition by prostaglandin E and acidic isoferritins and diminished expression of class II major histocompatibility complex (MHC) antigens (HLA-DR). Treatment was associated with no change in bone marrow cellularity or in the percentage of Ph cells. However, in vitro cultures of bone marrow cells showed a return to normal levels of both expression of CFU-GM class II antigen and of sensitivity to inhibition by prostaglandin E and acidic isoferritins which predicted and/or confirmed clinical response. Throughout the course of interferon therapy, white blood cell counts (WBC) and the percentage of bone marrow blast cells were maintained at normal levels. Onset of aggressive-phase disease was associated with increased WBC, an increase in bone marrow blast cells, a secondary chromosomal abnormality, loss of CFU-GM sensitivity to inhibition by putative negative growth regulators, and markedly diminished MHC class II antigen expression. Following a bone marrow transplant from a matched sibling, all hematologic parameters studied were found to be normal. These findings indicate that treatment with r gamma-IFN can modulate some of the abnormal growth characteristics of CFU-GM observed in CML.

Abstract
Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) granulo-monocyte committed progenitors (CFU-GM) are markedly less sensitive than normal progenitors to the inhibitory action of prostaglandin E (PGE). This phenomenon has been ascribed to their abnormal expression of HLA class II (mainly DR) determinants. Since interferon gamma (IFN-gamma) is a potent inducer of the expression of HLA class II (DR and to a lesser extent DQ) antigens, we have sought to determine the extent to which this agent can modulate both the antigenic pattern of normal and leukemic progenitors and their sensitivity to PGE 1. 72-h preincubation of normal and CML bone marrow cells with or without IFN-gamma does not significantly change DR and DQ expression by CFU-GM. Pre-incubation for 72 h with and without IFN-gamma produces the following changes in PGE 1 sensitivity: (1) normal CFU-GM lose some sensitivity to PGE 1. This is only marginally counteracted by the presence of IFN-gamma. (2) CML CFU-GM, preincubated with IFN-gamma regain a significant sensitivity to high concentrations of PGE 1. Our data confirm the expression of DR molecules on normal and leukemic progenitors. They also show that, although incubation with IFN-gamma for 72 h in a liquid culture system does not significantly affect the expression of HLA class II molecules by progenitor cells, it may increase their sensitivity to PGE, particularly in the case of CML CFU-GM. Thus expression of HLA class II antigens and sensitivity to PGE may be dissociated.

Abstract
The regulation of myelopoiesis in vivo most likely entails a complex set of interactions between cell-derived biomolecules and their target cells: hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells and accessory cells. Stimulating and suppressing factors have been characterized through in vitro studies, and their mechanisms of action in vitro and in vivo have begun to be elucidated. Among those factors being studied are the hematopoietic colony-stimulating factors (CSF): interleukin-3 (multi-CSF), granulocyte-macrophage-CSF, granulocyte-CSF, and macrophage-CSF; other molecules include erythropoietin, B-cell-stimulating factor-1, interleukin-1, interleukin-2, prostaglandin E, leukotrienes, acidic ferritins, lactoferrin, transferrin, the interferons-gamma, -alpha, and -beta, and the tumor necrosis factors-alpha and -beta (lymphotoxin). These factors interact to modulate blood cell production in vitro and in vivo. The proposed review characterizes these biomolecules biochemically and functionally, including receptor-ligand interactions and the secondary messengers within the cell which mediate their functional activity. The production and action of the molecules are described under conditions of hematopoietic disorders, as well as under normal conditions. Studies in vitro are correlated with studies in vivo using animal models to give an overall view of what is known about these molecules and their relevance physiologically and pathologically.

Abstract
A panel of alloindifferent monoclonal antibodies (MAB's) was used in complement-dependent lysis to characterize human myeloid, erythroid and multipotential progenitors (CFU-GM, BFU-E, CFU-GEMM) for their expression of MHC class II HLA-DR, -DP, and -DQ products. 7-16 donors were tested in each system. MAB Tü 34, detecting DR products, caused reduction of CFU-GM by a mean of 89%, whereas BFU-E and CFU-GEMM were reduced by 67% and 66% respectively. 35% of CFU-GM, 27% of BFU-E and 32% of CFU-GEMM were lysed by MAB B7/21, recognizing HLA-DP determinants, while Tü 22, binding HLA-DQ antigens, lysed 32% only of CFU-GM and did not lyse the other progenitors. Employing the "broad" MAB Tü 39, which binds at least DR and DP, inhibition of colony formation by CFU-GM was generally greater than that caused by Tü 34 alone or even by combinations of Tü 34, Tü 22, and B7/21. This suggests that there may be a subset of DR-, DP-, DQ- hematopoietic progenitors, which nonetheless bind MAB Tü 39, previously proposed as a candidate for the recognition of novel class II antigens.

Abstract
Results from our laboratory have demonstrated that the alteration in cellular immunity (CMI) resulting from exposure to dimethylnitrosamine (DMN) in vivo is due to changes in myelopoiesis. Bone marrow stem cells showed no alterations in their capacity to generate CFU-S (pleuripotent stem cells) nor were there any changes in the number of CFU-Mix colonies (IL-3 responsive stem cells) arising from the bone marrow of DMN exposed mice. However, the generation of G/M-CSF and CSF-1 responsive colonies (CFU-G/M and CFU-M) were altered, resulting in an increase in the number of colonies. G/M-CSF colonies generated from the bone marrow stem cells obtained from DMN exposed mice also had increased numbers of cells produced by each colony (total cells/CFU). Indirect immunofluorescence studies demonstrated no changes in the granulocyte/macrophage subsets following G/M-CSF stimulation of bone marrow stem cells obtained from DMN exposed mice. However, there was no change in the total number of cells generated by CSF-1 from the marrows of DMN exposed mice as compared to vehicle treated mice. Marrow cells from DMN exposed mice cultured in vitro with G/M-CSF showed both a shift in their peak proliferative response from 48-72 h to 30-60 h and an increased proliferative response. These same marrow cells showed no shift in their kinetics but a decrease in their proliferative response to CSF-1. Examination of the sera from DMN exposed mice for alterations in the regulatory factors controlling myelopoiesis demonstrated a net decrease of CSF-1 activity but no changes in the concentrations of two inhibitory factors, transferrin and lactoferrin.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Bone marrow aspirates obtained from 27 patients with acute non-lymphocytic leukemia (ANLL) was cultured at the time of presentation, during remission and at relapse. Growth patterns were assessed throughout the patient's clinical course. The percentage of Ia-positive progenitor cells was assayed by a complement-dependent cytotoxicity assay. The percentage of cells in S phase was measured by a tritiated thymidine suicide index. Growth patterns of leukemic bone marrow samples at presentation showed varied numbers of clusters but only rare colonies. This was not predictive of clinical course. Growth patterns of bone marrow in complete remission from ANLL often had depressed colony numbers. However, some patients in remission had bone marrow growth patterns that approached or reached normal colony numbers, suggesting elimination of residual leukemia. The percentage of cells that expressed Ia antigen at presentation, during remission and at relapse varied widely and was not predictive of long-term remission or early relapse. The percentage of cells in S phase was also highly variable and not predictive of clinical course. At presentation the S-phase percentage correlated with the percentage of cells expressing Ia antigen. However, there was no such correlation during remission.

Abstract
It has been suggested that the expression of some HLA class II antigens, derived from three loci (DR, DP, DQ) is important in the regulation of both the immune response and the response of haemopoietic progenitors to regulation factors, such as acidic isoferritins (AIF), as well as in the interaction between T lymphocytes and erythroid progenitors (BFU-E). Changes in the expression of class II antigens have been reported on the surface of granulo-monocyte progenitors in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and correlated to the abnormal proliferation of such cells. In this study, monoclonal antibodies against DR and DQ monomorphic determinants were used to investigate the expression of these antigens on the surface of normal and CML bone marrow and peripheral blood BFU-E by means of complement mediated cytotoxicity. It was found that most normal and leukemic BFU-E express DR antigens. Antigens density tends to be greater on marrow as opposed to peripheral precursors. In addition, leukemic BFU-E are more sensitive to cytolytic treatment than their normal counterparts. Normal BFU-E do not express detectable amounts of DQ antigens, whereas these are present on a proportion of leukemic BFU-E.

Abstract
Prostaglandin E1(PGE1) was assessed for its colony enhancing effects on erythroid (BFU-E) progenitor cells and for its colony suppressive effects on granulocyte-macrophage (CFU-GM) progenitor cells from bone marrows of mice differing in the Fv-2 locus. The Fv-2 locus has been reported by others to control the proportion of BFU-E, but not of CFU-GM, in DNA synthesis. PGE1 significantly enhanced erythroid colony formation by marrow cells from DBA/2 (Fv-2ss), C57BL/6 (Fv-2rr) and BDF1 (Fv-2rs) mice, but the DBA/2 cells were more sensitive to the PGE1 enhancing effects than were cells from C57BL/6 or BDF1 mice. The enhanced sensitivity of DBA/2 cells to PGE1 was associated with the higher cycling rate of DBA/2-BFU-E in comparison with C57BL/6- and BDF1-BFU-E, and removal of S-phase DBA/2-BFU-E by pulse exposure of cells to high specific activity tritiated thymidine in vitro eliminated the erythroid colony enhancing effects of PGE1. The differences in sensitivity of BFU-E from mice differing in the Fv-2 locus to the effects of PGE1 were verified using Fv-2 congenic mice. In contrast, no significant differences were noted in sensitivity of CFU-GM from these different mouse strains, including mice congenic for the Fv-2 locus, to the suppressive effects of PGE1. This correlated with the similar cycling characteristics of CFU-GM from these mice, and the non-cycle specific effects of PGE1 on mouse CFU-GM. These studies substantiate further the regulatory effects of the Fv-2 locus on mouse erythroid progenitor cells which are a manifestation of the cycling rates of these cells.

Abstract
DMN exposure modulates cellular immunity through alterations in the maturation and hematopoiesis of macrophages. DMN-exposed bone marrow stem cells gave rise to increased colony-forming unit-macrophage (CFU-M) colonies while the resulting colonies produced fewer cells/colony. Bone marrow-derived macrophages phenotypically had decreased cells expressing Ia antigens or cells in the S-phase following DMN treatment. Concanavalin A-elicited peritoneal exudate cells from DMN-treated animals demonstrated an increase in the percentage of macrophages and in the number of immature, bi-nucleated cells obtained as well as a concomitant increase in the percentage of Ia antigen-expressing cells. Concanavalin A-elicited peritoneal exudate cells from DMN-exposed animals also had an increased secreted interleukin-1 activity following lipopolysaccharide stimulation without any alteration in the expression of membrane-bound interleukin-1. Thioglycolate-elicited peritoneal exudate cells from DMN-exposed animals demonstrated no changes in cellularity and only showed increases in the percentage of bi-nucleated cells. There were no alterations in the capacity of T cells obtained from DMN-treated animals to respond to either soluble (keyhole limpet hemocyanin) or allo-antigens; nor were there alterations in the capacity of these T cells to either produce or respond to interleukin-2. These findings suggest that the observed DMN-induced modulation(s) in cell-mediated immunity results from changes in macrophage hematopoiesis due to alterations in: the production of regulatory factors controlling their production and/or differentiation or their ability to respond to these factors.

Abstract
The pattern of certain groups of antigens expressed on the surface of hemopoietic cells changes either during the course of differentiation from pluripotent stem cells to mature functional cells or as a function of the proliferative state of the cells. A map of these changes is emerging and is providing valuable information for selecting and purifying rare stem cells and for classifying the acute leukemias. This knowledge is also beginning to provide insights into physiological and pathological cellular interactions affecting the early stages of hemopoiesis, and is being exploited to remove T lymphocytes from allogeneic bone marrow grafts in order to prevent graft-vs.-host disease as well as leukemic cells from bone marrow before autologous reinfusion. In this article I will briefly review the cellular basis of hemopoiesis and then discuss the methods used to determine the presence of antigens on normal hemopoietic cells. I will then summarize the pattern of membrane antigens expressed during differentiation and conclude by discussing the biological and therapeutic implications.

Abstract
The expression of HLA-DR antigens by normal myeloid progenitor cells (CFU-GM) has been linked to inhibition of colony growth by prostaglandin E (PGE), while resistance to the inhibitory effects of PGE in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) has been attributed to a lower fraction of HLA-DR+ CFU-GM in this disease. However, we have previously shown that virtually all CFU-GM in normal bone marrow (NBM) as well as CML peripheral blood express HLA-DR antigens, which raises the possibility that these surface molecules may not be the sole determinants of a progenitor cell's sensitivity to PGE. In order to evaluate the relationship between HLA-DR expression and prostaglandin inhibition, we partially purified NBM progenitor cells using fluorescence-activated cell sorting to prepare cell fractions with high and low HLA-DR antigen density. Normal progenitor cells with high DR density tended to form monocyte colonies in agar culture, whereas the low DR density fraction was enriched for granulocyte colony-forming cells. Inhibition by PGE was greatest in the high DR+ fraction and was largely restricted to monocyte progenitor cells. Inhibition of CFU-GM by PGE was less in CML than in NBM, but this decreased inhibition correlated with a significantly lower number of monocyte-CFU in CML. These data suggest that high HLA-DR antigen density may select for normal progenitor cells that are committed to monocyte differentiation and are, therefore, more likely to be inhibited by PGE. The relative deficit of monocyte progenitor cells in CML may partially explain the phenomenon of PGE resistance in this disease.

Abstract
Conditioned media from the human myeloid leukemic cell line ML-2 contain a factor that inhibits the entry of normal CFU-GM into S phase of mitotic cycle as measured by the 3H-TdR suicide technique. This factor was detected in conditioned media prepared by incubating 5 X 10(6) ML-2 cells/ml or 1 X 10(6) ML-2 cells/ml in serum-free RPMI for 5 or 24 hours respectively, and was isolated by ultrafiltration through an XM 300 Diaflo membrane followed by chromatography on Sepharose 6 B. Ferritin, prepared from human placenta, had the same inhibitory effect on CFU-GM. Antibodies against human placental ferritin completely inactivated the inhibitory effect of both human placental ferritin and the factor released from ML-2 cells. The inhibitory activity produced by the cell-line ML-2 was considered as LIA (leukemia cell-derived inhibitory activity) earlier found in HL-60 cell line and AML and CML cells.

Abstract
Mitogen-activated murine T lymphocytes or T cell hybridomas produce an activity (megakaryocyte [Mk] potentiator activity) that enhances the in vitro growth and development of Mk colonies. This activity was found in optimal concentrations (2.5%) in T cell hybridoma-conditioned medium, and was also produced by feeder layers of concanavalin A-activated T cells. A subpopulation of murine Mk progenitor cells (colony-forming units; CFU-Mk) bears the Ia antigen. Separate experiments indicated that T cell products stimulate CFU-Mk by increasing their basal levels of Ia expression as well as the frequency of cells actively synthesizing DNA. The hypothesis that the expression of this antigen was related to the cell cycle status of these progenitor cells was confirmed in studies that indicated that ablation of actively cycling cells in vivo abrogated the cytotoxic effects of anti-Ia monoclonal antibodies. The interdependence of T cell lymphokine regulation of both Ia expression and cell cycle status was also seen in in vitro experiments in which Ia+ progenitor cells were eliminated by complement-dependent cytotoxicity. The removal of Ia+ cells prevented 5-hydroxyurea-mediated inhibition of cells in S phase. We hypothesize that immune modulation of megakaryocytopoiesis occurs via soluble T cell products that augment Mk differentiation. Further, the mechanism of immune recognition/modulation may occur via Ia antigens present on the surface of these progenitor cells.

Abstract
This study reports the cytochemical, electrophoretic and immunological characteristics of blasts cells from 39 cases of acute myelomonocytic leukaemia (M4). The results indicate considerable cytochemical heterogeneity, particularly with respect to esterase (alpha naphthyl acetate and chloroacetate) activities and suggest that an increased serum lysozyme concentration is a more consistent feature. Investigations with a range of monoclonal antibodies also revealed some differences in expression of monocyte-associated determinants although it is considered that immunological assessments are more consistent than cytochemistry in the detection of monocytic blast cell components. Analysis of ANAE isoenzymes by isoelectric focusing was found to be of particular value in cases where interpretation of ANAE cytochemistry was difficult.

Abstract
We recently reported the biological activity and some of the biochemical characteristics of a factor produced by a human T cell hybrid clone able to block hematopoietic progenitor cell proliferation. This 85-kD protein factor, which we have termed colony-inhibiting lymphokine (CIL), has growth regulatory activity on bone marrow precursors bearing Ia (class II) antigens of either granulocytic-monocytic (CFU-GM) or erythroid lineage (BFU-E and CFU-E). Experiments aimed to investigate the specificity of the inhibitory effect on hematopoietic progenitor cell growth suggested that the expression of HLA-DR surface antigens was required on the target cells. We describe in this communication how DR+ cell lines ceased dividing after a few days of culture in the presence of CIL, whereas DR- cell lines were completely unaffected. The increased DR expression on the ML3 cell surface, mediated by the activity of the gamma interferon (IFN gamma), increases the sensitivity to the growth inhibition factor of the ML3 cell line. To verify the hypothesis that the DR antigens might serve as receptors for the factor, enabling it also to interfere in the immune response, we tested CIL in a mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR), one of the best known in vitro Ia antigen-dependent T cell-mediated immune responses. CIL is able to block major histocompatibility complex-allogeneic MLR both in human and mouse systems. The data indicate that CIL recognizes a nonpolymorphic structure (presumably on all Ia molecules) presented by stimulator cells of either species, and thereby interferes with specific interactions between stimulator and responder cells. Blocking of the alloantigen stimulation stage is also indicated, since CIL is effective only if added to the culture medium during the first 48 h of the MLR. Finally, mouse monoclonal anti-DR antibodies are able to sharply reduce CIL activity on sensitive DR+ cell lines. CIL may act physiologically as a multifunctional mediator in a complex network that links regulation of bone marrow differentiation and the generation of immune responses.

Abstract
The best characterized hemopoietic growth inhibitors in myeloid leukemias are leukemia associated inhibitor (LAI) and leukemia inhibitory activity (LIA). Both are normal cell products overproduced in leukemia. LIA is identical with acid isoferritins and LAI is not identical with LIA. They act in different ways to inhibit normal stem cell growth. The overproduction of these putative normal regulators may explain the suppression of normal hemopoiesis typical of myeloid leukemias. Modulation of the production and the action of LAI and LIA may have potential therapeutic value in leukemia.

Abstract
A murine monoclonal antibody (82H5, IgM class) has been developed that detects an antigenic determinant expressed by greater than 90% of normal granulocytes and 60-80% of light-density normal bone-marrow cells, including human pluripotential progenitors (colony-forming-unit-granulocyte, erythroid, macrophage, megakaryocyte; CFU-GEMM) and committed progenitors: granulocyte-macrophage (CFU-GM), erythroid (BFU-E), and megakaryocytic (CFU-MK). This antibody did not react with erythrocytes, monocytes, platelets, lymphocytes from normal peripheral blood, lymphoblasts from patients with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, or with lymphoid cells lines. The 82H5-defined antigenic determinant was expressed on greater than 90% of leukaemic cells of promyelocytic, myelomonocytic and monocytic morphology, and cell lines KG.1, ML.1, HL.60, K562 and U.937. Cortical thymocytes were unreactive with 82H5. Treatment of human bone-marrow cells with granulocytic-specific monoclonal antibody 82H5 plus complement significantly inhibited colony formation (48-74%; P less than 0.05) of CFU-GEMM, CFU-GM, BFU-E, CFU-MK, whereas treatment with control monoclonal anti-Ia antibody plus complement caused 79-89% inhibition. This antibody reacted strongly with 3-fuc-NAc lactosamine when tested with a panel of synthetic carbohydrate structures. We conclude that 82H5 may be a useful probe for phenotypic analysis of leukaemic cells and investigation of haematopoiesis.

Abstract
Human blood monocytes when cultured on hydrophobic Teflon membranes differentiate into mature macrophages. The expression of transferrin receptors was monitored by monoclonal antibody (OKT9) binding as detected by immunoperoxidase staining. Whereas monocytes were negative, an increasing percentage of macrophages, starting from day 2 in culture, labelled with the antitransferrin receptor antibody as these cells undergo differentiation. After completion of maturation more than 90% of macrophages expressed transferrin receptors. While 90-95% of macrophages from broncho-alveolar lavage fluids labelled with the OKT9 antibody, only a minor portion of macrophages obtained from peritoneal and pleural cavities did so. In parallel, intracellular ferritin in cells of the monocyte-macrophage lineage increased from 10 ng/10(6) cells to 350-1,500 ng/10(6) cells during maturation in vitro. Alveolar macrophages proved to have the highest ferritin content which ranged from 355-8,400 ng/10(6). The results may indicate that iron uptake and storage is a function of cells at late stages of macrophage maturation and that the occurrence of surface receptors for transferrin can be regarded as differentiation dependent marker.

Abstract
T lymphocytes in culture synthesize and secrete a variety of factors that activate and guide the differentiation, replication and maturation of haematopoietic cells in vitro. Malignant T-cell lines as well as T-cell hybridomas producing several of these factors have been established. We report here a factor produced by a human cell line that exerts a potent inhibitory effect on the growth of bone marrow progenitor cells. The properties of this factor, which we have termed colony-inhibiting lymphokine ( CIL ), differ from other inhibitors of haematopoietic progenitor cell proliferation, but resemble those of a T-cell-derived factor causally linked with some cases of severe aplastic anaemia in humans. Sensitivity of cells to this factor appears to correlate positively with expression of HLA-DR surface antigens.

Abstract
Isoelectric focusing of ferritin prepared from three spleens involved by Hodgkin's disease demonstrated only minor differences from normal spleen ferritin. The leucocyte migration inhibition (LMI) and leucocyte adherence inhibition (LAI) assays were used to assess sensitization to Hodgkin's disease spleen ferritin and its component acidic and basic isoferritins in patients with malignant lymphoma compared to patients with other malignancies and control subjects. A difference in response to ferritin was demonstrated in both tests with patients with malignant lymphoma compared to controls, and in LMI test compared to patients with other malignancies. There were also significant differences in responses in, patients with malignant lymphoma compared to controls, against acidic and basic isoferritins in both tests, in lymphoma patients versus patients with other malignancies against acidic isoferritins in both tests, lymphoma versus other malignancy against basic isoferritins in the LMI test only. However, no significant differences, within each group, between responses with acidic and with basic isoferritins were demonstrated, and there was no correlation between individual patients' responses in the two tests.

Acidic isoferritins, which under normal conditions are released from monocytes and macrophages, have a suppressive effect in vitro on granulocyte-macrophage, erythroid, and multipotential hematopoietic progenitor cells. Cell interactions modulating the release of acidic isoferritin-inhibitory activity (AIFIA) from human monocytes were investigated using the bone marrow granulocyte-macrophage progenitor cells as a target cell assay for assessing AIFIA. Monocytes, in the absence of T lymphocytes, released AIFIA when allowed to condition culture medium at 10(4) or higher concentrations of monocytes/ml. However, subpopulations of T lymphocytes modulated the release of AIFIA from monocytes. OKT8+- and OKT4+-T lymphocytes were obtained from E-rosette-positive lymphocytes by using T lymphocyte subset-specific monoclonal antibodies in either a complement-dependent cytotoxicity test to select negatively for the cells or by selection using a "panning" procedure. OKT8+-T lymphocytes suppressed completely and OKT4+-T lymphocytes enhanced the constitutive release of AIFIA from monocytes. OKT4+ lymphocytes also induced the release of AIFIA from concentrations of 10(3) monocytes/ml which did not release measurable amounts of AIFIA by themselves. The release of AIFIA from monocytes involved HLA-DR+-monocytes and -T lymphocytes. Pulsing monocytes with monoclonal antibodies to framework determinants on HLA-DR molecules, in the absence of complement, did not influence the constitutive release of AIFIA. Pulsing monocytes or T lymphocyte subpopulations with such antibodies, in the absence of complement, blocked the suppressing and inducing activities of the appropriate subpopulations of T lymphocytes. Monoclonal antibodies to common determinants shared by HLA-A, B, and C molecules did not block these cellular interactions. Treating monocytes and T lymphocytes in a complement-dependent cytotoxicity test with dilutions of the anti-HLA-DR antibodies that did not block the cellular interactions removed the populations of monocytes constitutively releasing AIFIA and the T lymphocyte subsets modulating this release. Modulation of the release of AIFIA from monocytes by T lymphocyte subpopulations required the use of autologous cells, cells from HLA-identical siblings, or unrelated donors matched for HLA-DR. Matching for only one HLA haplotype gave partial responses and this was seen in testing cells from related individuals as well as among unrelated test combinations. These cellular interactions were not detected with HLA-DR-incompatible cells differing for two HLA-DR antigens. Admixture of such HLA-DR- incompatible allogeneic cells did not interfere with the regulation of AIFIA release in the autologous cell interactions. Thus, release of AIFIA from monocytes is restricted genetically by HLA-DR at the level of T lymphocyte-monocyte interactions. The genetic determinants on the HLA-class II molecules that induce stimulation in vitro in mixed lymphocyte culture (i.e., HLA-D), however, were not involved in this effort.

Abstract
The production of blood cells is a dynamic process that is noticeably aberrant during disease. The availability of colony assays in vitro that allow detection of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells for the neutrophil, monocyte-macrophage, erythroid and/or megakaryocyte lineages has been of importance for the present understanding of the mechanisms controlling the proliferation, self-renewal capacity, and differentiation of morphologically nonrecognizable immature cells which give rise to the mature progeny circulating in the blood. It is through the use of these assays that the existence of potentially relevant stimulatory and inhibitory feedback interactions has been demonstrated. Abnormalities in these interactions, which may be of significance during leukemia and related disorders, have been uncovered. This communication will discuss regulatory interactions detected via the colony assays, their potential relevance physiologically and pathologically, and the use of these assays for diagnosis, prognosis, and for monitoring the clinical status of patients.

Abstract
Biosynthesis of acidic isoferritins was investigated in human promyelocytic HL-60 cells, characterized by diploid (2C), tetraploid (4C) and mixed diploid--tetraploid (2C-4C) DNA cell lines. The three cell lines were studied for the biosynthesis of ferritin and its subunits and for the release of acidic isoferritin-inhibitory activity against normal CFU-GM before and after addition of DMSO. While the tetraploid and mixed diploid--tetraploid cell lines synthesized more H-(Mr = 21) than L-subunits (Mr = 19) after induction, the tetraploid line synthesized more H-subunit before and after induction, compared to the diploid line. The release of acidic isoferritin-inhibitory activity was greater before than after induction in both cell lines, but the tetraploid cell line released more acidic isoferritin-inhibitory activity consistent with its greater production of Mr = 21 subunit. However, after induction no inhibitory activity could be detected from the diploid cells and much less activity was detected with the tetraploid cells, suggesting that differentiation caused a decrease in production of acidic isoferritin-inhibitory activity.

Abstract
The differentiation of mouse myeloid leukemia line cells (M1) into macrophages or granulocytes has been reported. Resistant M1 cells which did not differentiate even with a high concentration of inducer of differentiation were isolated from M1 cells. The conditioned medium of the resistant M1 cells (RCM) inhibited the induction of differentiation of M1 cells and the formation of macrophage and granulocyte colonies of normal mouse bone marrow cells. Acidic isoferritins known as negative regulators of normal bone marrow cells (CFU-GM) failed to inhibit the induction of differentiation and growth of M1 cells. The RCM treated with anti-acidic isoferritin serum could inhibit the induction of differentiation of M1 cells as did the untreated RCM. The activities, in RCM, inhibiting growth and differentiation of the normal bone marrow cells were partly neutralized by treatment with the antiserum but most of the activities remained. These results suggest that growth and differentiation of the mouse myeloid leukemia M1 cells are not regulated by acidic isoferritins and other inhibitory activities affecting normal bone marrow colony formation, in addition to acidic isoferritins, are released from M1 cells.

Abstract
The expression of Ia-like antigens on human colony forming units-granulocyte macrophage (CFU-GM) is related to S-phase of the cell cycle, and associated with the control of normal granulocyte and macrophage production by prostaglandin E and acidic isoferritins in vitro. Ia-antigen expression by CFU-GM is lost within 3-6 h of culture at 37 degrees C and occurs simultaneously with loss of responsiveness to inhibition by these factors. Culture of bone marrow CFU-GM in a limited exposure suspension culture with 1 microM-1pM prostaglandin E (PGE1 or PGE2), but not prostaglandin F2 alpha or dibutyryl-cyclic-3'-5'-AMP results in the detection of CFU-GM Ia-antigen after 24 h. Antigen expression is associated with an absolute increase in total and S-phase CFU-GM, and restoration of responsiveness to inhibition by prostaglandin E and acidic isoferritins. The detection of Ia-antigen on CFU-GM after suspension culture with prostaglandin E results both from Ia-antigen reexpression as well as stimulation of noncycling cells to enter S-phase, express Ia-antigen and give rise to CFU-GM sensitive to inhibition by prostaglandin E and acidic isoferritins. The sensitivity of CFU-GM to inhibition by these factors after suspension culture with prostaglandin E is identical to that of the same cells tested prior to the suspension culture. These studies provide evidence for a direct regulatory association between Ia-antigen expression and control of myeloid progenitor cell differentiation, and suggest a role for prostaglandin E in the control of CFU-GM cell cycle, Ia-antigen expression, and growth regulation.
