Abstract
PURPOSE Dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) is used to cryopreserve hematopoietic stem cells and is obligatorily infused into patients who receive stem-cell transplants. This study characterized the plasma concentrations and pharmacokinetics of DMSO and its metabolites in patients who underwent peripheral-blood stem-cell transplants. MATERIALS AND METHODS Plasma concentrations of DMSO, dimethylsulfone (DMSO2), and dimethylsulfide (DMSH2) were assessed in 10 patients who underwent autologous transplants with stem cells, cryopreserved in 10% DMSO (vol/vol). Blood was sampled at multiple times after the stem-cell infusion. Urine was pooled during the 24 hours postinfusion. DMSO, DMSO2, and DMSH2 were assayed simultaneously by gas chromatography. A one-compartment model with saturable elimination proved most suitable for fitting plasma DMSO concentration-versus-time data. RESULTS Stem-cell volumes infused ranged between 180 and 585 mL (254 to 824 mmol DMSO). Infusions lasted between 20 and 120 minutes. Peak plasma DMSO concentrations were 19.1 +/- 6.3 mmol/L (mean +/- SD). Pharmacokinetic parameters for volume of the central compartment (Vc), maximum velocity (Vmax), and Michaels-Menten constant (Km) were 37.3 +/- 17 L, 0.99 +/- 0.57 mmol/L/h, and 5.2 +/- 5.0 mmol/L, respectively. Plasma DMSO2 concentrations increased during the first 24 hours, plateaued at 4.4 +/- 1.2 mmol/L, and remained there until 48 hours (the last sample). DMSH2 concentrations were at steady-state by 5 minutes and remained between 3 and 5 mmol/L for 48 hours. Urinary excretion of DMSO and DMSO2 accounted for 44% +/- 4% and 4% +/- 1%, respectively, of the administered DMSO dose. Renal clearance of DMSO was 14.1 +/- 3.4 mL/min. CONCLUSION These data (1) document plasma concentrations of DMSO and metabolites in patients following peripheral-blood stem-cell transplants; (2) allow consideration of potential effects of these concentrations on stem-cell engraftment and drug-drug interactions; and (3) can facilitate a concentration-guided phase I trial of DMSO.

Abstract
We performed a multicenter comparative analysis of autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT) and allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (alloBMT) in multiple myeloma. Forty-eight consecutive patients received either PBSCT (24 patients) or alloBMT (24 patients) at one of three institutions in the study group. Preparatory regimens consisted of melphalan and total body irradiation (TBI) or melphalan alone in the PBSCT group. The alloBMT group received one of four regimens: cyclophosphamide and TBI; cyclophosphamide, VP-16 and 1,3-bis(2-chloroethyl)-1-nitrosourea (CVB); busulfan and cyclophosphamide (BU/CY) and total marrow irradiation (TMI); or melphalan and TBI. Procedure-related mortality was 12.5% for the PBSCT group and 25% for the alloBMT group. With a median follow-up for survivors in the PBSCT and alloBMT groups of 11 months (range, 4-46) and 15 months (range, 2-84 months), respectively, there was no significant difference in median overall survival (33.5 versus 38.6 months, p = 0.7637) or event-free survival (16.7 versus 31 months, p = 0.8450). There was, however, a plateau in survival at 40% in the alloBMT group. No plateau in survival was seen in the PBSCT group. Clinical relapses occurred as late as 39 months posttransplant. Patients have survived up to 28 months postrelapse.

Abstract
The role of the lyn product (p53/p56lyn), a membrane-associated protein tyrosine kinase in the signaling pathway used by granulocyte macrophage-CSFR (GM-CSFR) was investigated by using the GM-CSF-dependent human megakaryoblastic leukemia cell line M-07e. M-07e cells express GM-CSFR and are dependent on GM-CSF for survival and proliferation in vitro. Treatment with anti-lyn Abs coimmunoprecipitated, along with lyn product, the beta subunit of GM-CSFR and a phosphoprotein with a molecular mass of 120 kDa (p120) in the lysates of M-07e cells but not in the lysates of human monocyte-derived macrophages (HMDM) or human lymphoid leukemia cells. That the 120-kDa phosphoprotein coimmunoprecipitated by anti-lyn Abs is the beta subunit of GM-CSFR was confirmed in the immunoprecipitates (IP) of M-07e cells with the use of an agarose-conjugated anti-p-tyr mAb. The formation of GM-CSF/GM-CSFR/lyn signaling complexes was verified in an autoradiographic study with anti-lyn IP of M-07e cells that had been bound with 125I-labeled recombinant human (rh)GM-CSF. The p120 protein (beta subunit) was not detected in the IP of M-07e cells with anti-fyn or anti-PI3 Abs. A direct association of Lyn kinase with the beta subunit of GM-CSFR was illustrated with a reversed approach showing the recovery of Lyn protein in anti-beta (CRS1) but not anti-alpha IP of M-07e cells that had been starved for a prolonged period. Finally, the interaction of Lyn kinase with the GM-CSFR complexes was further corroborated using anti-GM-CSF (G133) mAb, which coimmunoprecipitated both the p120 beta subunit and lyn product in the lysates of M-07e cells that had been bound with rhGM-CSF before cell lysis. Removal of rhGM-CSF from culture medium for 10 to 12 h resulted in a marked decrease in lyn-associated kinase activity but not the beta subunit/lyn kinase complex formation. Taken together, our results showed that, in M-07e cells, Lyn protein tyrosine kinase (p53/p56lyn) is stably associated with a constitutively phosphorylated beta subunit of the GM-CSFR in a manner that seems to be independent of lyn kinase activity.

Abstract
Previous reports of autologous bone marrow transplant (auto-BMT) have demonstrated that myeloablative therapy followed by cyclosporin A (CsA), with and without interferon (IFN), can generate autoreactive cytotoxic T lymphocytes (auto-CTL) with potential therapeutic benefit. This is the first report of an attempt to generate auto-CTL using CsA and IFN after a non-myeloablative regimen. Cyclophosphamide (CTX) 1,200 mg/m2 i.v. day 1 was followed by CsA and IFN-alpha days 2-28, administered in a sequential three-step Phase I dose-escalation scheme. Patients were evaluated twice weekly for clinical evidence of graft-versus-host (GVH) reaction. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were obtained before treatment, at time of clinical GVH reaction, and days 21 and 28, and analyzed for auto-CTL, natural killer (NK) cell, and lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cell activity. Patients also underwent punch skin biopsy at the time of clinical GVH reaction or day 21 to identify histologic evidence of GVH. Fourteen patients completed therapy and were evaluable for immunologic studies and anti-tumor response. No increase in auto-CTL, NK cell, or LAK cell activity was seen. Clinical or histologic evidence of GVH reaction did not occur. We conclude that this myelosuppressive dose of CTX combined with CsA and IFN is unable to generate clinical or immunologic evidence of an auto-GVH reaction. Further efforts are warranted to evaluate other therapeutic attempts to generate auto-CTL with anti-tumor activity based on preliminary results of clinical benefit in auto-BMT.

Abstract
Peritoneal injection of thioglycollate medium (TM) to mice results in a dramatic increase in total number of peritoneal macrophages within 48 to 72 hours. Unlike resident macrophages, a fraction (10 to 20%) of these newly arrived young macrophages, designated as macrophage colony-forming cells (M-CFC), are highly proliferative and formed macrophage colonies in vitro in the presence of either macrophage or granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF or GM-CSF). Using a reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) technique, peritoneal exudate macrophages (PEM) obtained 2 to 5 days after a single TM injection actively expressed mRNA for recombinant murine macrophage inflammatory protein-1 alpha (rmMIP-1 alpha). Yet none or only a trace amount of mRNA for MIP-1 alpha was detected in normal resident macrophages or PEM obtained 7 days after TM treatment. The effect of rmMIP-1 alpha on the induction of exudate M-CFC was investigated. Multiple intraperitoneal (IP) administration of rmMIP-1 alpha caused a marked increase in the total number of peritoneal M-CFC and macrophages similar to but weaker than the increase in TM-injected mice. The total number of neutrophils, mast cells, and eosinophils also increased, but with different kinetics, following multiple injections of rmMIP-1 alpha. rmMIP-1 alpha alone did not stimulate the proliferation of M-CFC, nor did it potentiate their responsiveness to either rmGM-CSF or recombinant human (rh) M-CSF in vitro. Taken together, our results suggest that MIP-1 alpha released by exudate macrophages is a major chemoattractant responsible for the migration of M-CFC from the circulation to the peritoneal cavity during a TM-induced inflammatory response.

Abstract
Murine peritoneal exudate macrophages (PEM) co-express granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and macrophage CSF (M-CSF) receptors, among others. Treatment of PEM with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or tumor-promoting phorbol ester (12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate [TPA]) induces a rapid but transient loss of M-CSF receptors in PEM. GM-CSF receptors are not affected by this treatment. The loss of M-CSF receptors induced by LPS can be inhibited by neomycin and compound 48/80, two potent phospholipase C (PLC) inhibitors, but not by phospholipase A2, calpain, protein kinase C (PKC) or protease inhibitors. On the other hand, the loss of M-CSF receptors induced by TPA has been prevented by PKC inhibitors but not by PLC inhibitors. PLC inhibitors also prevent LPS-suppressed receptor-mediated internalization of radiolabeled recombinant human (rh) M-CSF by macrophages. Similar prevention of LPS-induced M-CSF receptor downregulation was observed in human monocytes that had been pretreated with PLC inhibitors. Our results show that 1) TPA-induced M-CSF receptor loss is strictly dependent on PKC activation; 2) PLC activation alone also leads to downregulation of M-CSF receptors; and 3) LPS-induced M-CSF receptor downregulation in PEM is mediated primarily through a PLC-dependent pathway. Our data also imply that the expression of M-CSF but not GM-CSF receptors is linked to an important, yet unknown, PLC-sensitive component(s) whose hydrolysis may lead to downregulation of M-CSF receptors.

Abstract
J774A.1 immortalized macrophage tumor cells display several phenotypes and functional capacities similar to that of murine peritoneal exudate macrophages (PEM). Both populations display comparable number of M-CSF receptors. Yet the number of GM-CSF receptors on J774A.1 cells is only one-fourth that of PEM (1,500 vs. 6,000 per cell). Unlike J774A.1 cells, which constitutively express c-myc transcripts, normal PEM required rMuGM-CSF for the induction of c-myc expression. Nevertheless, the growth of J774A.1 cells can be further enhanced in the presence of exogenous rMuGM-CSF, rHuM-CSF, and rMuIL-3. Treatment with either rMuIL-3 (20 ng/ml) and rHuTGF-beta 1 (1.0 ng/ml) for 24 hr at 37 degrees C, markedly enhanced the expression of GM-CSF receptors on normal PEM but not leukemic J774A.1 cells. J774A.1 cells also did not respond by autologous upregulation of GM-CSF receptors as seen in PEM following treatment with rMuGM-CSF. Treatment with either pertussis toxin (20-100 ng/ml) or H-8 (50 microM) for 24 hr led to an enhanced expression of GM-CSF receptors on J774A.1 cells in a time- and dose-dependent manner but did not result in enhanced receptor expression on normal PEM. These findings suggest that the expression of GM-CSF receptors may be regulated by mechanisms involving Gi-proteins and their downstream elements, which in turn are linked to regulatory pathways of other cytokine receptors. In J774A.1 cells, such regulatory interaction may not exist.

Abstract
Murine peritoneal exudate macrophages (PEM) display multiple CSF receptors. In this study, the expression of granulocyte-macrophage (GM)-CSF receptors in PEM was studied. PEM displayed over 5000 single type, high affinity GM-CSF receptors/cell with a Kd = 38 to 42 pM and an apparent molecular mass of 86,000 Da. Treatment of PEM with low, but not high, concentrations of recombinant murine (rMu) GM-CSF continuously for 24 h resulted in a marked up-regulation of GM-CSF receptors in PEM. A similar up-regulation of GM-CSF receptors also was detected in PEM cultures treated with rMuIL-3 (1-100 ng/ml) for 24 h or longer, regardless the doses of rMuIL-3 added in this case. Scatchard analysis of equilibrium binding showed that the enhanced binding activities in both cases were due to an increase in total number of GM-CSF receptors rather than changes in receptor affinity. Contrariwise, treatment with recombinant human macrophage-CSF (greater than 100-1000 ng/ml) partially inhibited the expression of GM-CSF receptors in PEM. Removal of rMuGM-CSF from culture medium 24 h after treatment led to a further up-regulation of GM-CSF receptors over a 4 to 24-h period, depending on the doses of initial treatment. On the other hand, removal of rMuIL-3 from culture medium after prolonged treatment did not result in further increase in GM-CSF receptors. The protein synthesis inhibitor cycloheximide abrogated GM-CSF receptor up-regulation induced by both rMuIL-3 and rMuGM-CSF, whereas actinomycin D inhibited only the second (8-24 h) phase of GM-CSF receptor up-regulation induced by exposure to high concentrations rMuGM-CSF (10 ng/ml). These findings suggest that rMuGM-CSF and rMuIL-3 up-regulate GM-CSF receptors in PEM in part through similar or identical metabolic pathways and provide further evidence of a close linkage between IL-3 and GM-CSF receptors.

Abstract
Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) is a family of polypeptide growth factors with multiple functional activities. Recent studies suggest that TGF-beta is a selective inhibitor of hematopoietic cells. In this report, we study the effect of TGF-beta 1 on the proliferation of murine peritoneal exudate macrophages (PEM) in response to purified murine recombinant granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (rMuGM-CSF) and human recombinant M-CSF (rHuM-CSF). In mice, PEM and other types of tissue macrophages display multiple types of receptors for CSFs and respond to them, either alone or in combination, to undergo extensive proliferation in vitro. Recombinant human TGF-beta 1 (rHuTGF-beta 1) (0.1 to 1.0 ng/mL) markedly enhanced the growth of PEM in response to rMuGM-CSF but inhibited their responsiveness to rHuM-CSF. Similar effects of rHuTGF-beta 1 were also detected using murine pulmonary alveolar macrophages (PAM) and bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDM). Receptor binding assays using iodinated rMuGM-CSF and rHuM-CSF showed that rHuTGF-beta 1 treatment greatly enhanced the expression of GM-CSF receptors in PEM, in a time- and dose-dependent manner, suggesting a possible mechanism for the synergistic effect of TGF-beta 1. On the other hand, the expression of M-CSF receptors was not affected by TGF-beta 1 treatment. Analysis by mRNA PCR showed that the synergistic effect of TGF-beta 1 is not due to autocrine CSFs produced by treated cells. Our results suggest that TGF-beta 1 is an important regulator of macrophage proliferation. Depending on the types of CSFs present, TGF-beta 1 may act either as a growth promoter or inhibitor.

Abstract
Abstract
Murine peritoneal exudate macrophage (PEM) coexpress receptors for both granulocyte-macrophage CSF (GM-CSF) and macrophage CSF (M-CSF) and can be induced by both factors, either alone or in combination, to undergo extensive proliferation in vitro. In this study the effect of murine rIL-4 (MurIL-4) on the proliferation of PEM was examined. MurIL-4 alone did not support macrophage proliferation but prolonged their survival in vitro. When MurIL-4 was combined with human (Hu)rM-CSF, it enhanced the proliferative response of PEM to rHuM-CSF in a dose-dependent manner, reaching a maximum at approximately 10 ng/ml. Contrarily, MurIL-4 suppressed the proliferative response of PEM to MurGM-CSF. Receptor binding assays using radiolabeled ligands showed that MurIL-4 selectively enhanced the expression of M-CSF receptors; suggesting that at least part of the synergistic effect of MurIL-4 is mediated at the receptor level. Of relevance to this effect is the finding that MurIL-4 greatly promoted the responsiveness of PEM to low concentrations of HurM-CSF. Unlike M-CSF receptors, however, MurIL-4 treatment failed to modulate the levels of GM-CSF receptors in PEM. The proliferative responses of PEM to both MurGM-CSF and HurM-CSF could be inhibited by MurIFN-gamma with similar sensitivity. This inhibitory effect of MurIFN-gamma was partially neutralized by MurIL-4 in cultures containing HurM-CSF but not those containing MurGM-CSF. This study demonstrates that IL-4 is involved directly in the regulation of macrophage production by modulating their responsiveness to various cytokines.

Abstract
Neuropeptide modulation of hematopoietic stem cell differentiation was studied in an in vitro murine system. Endorphins were able to influence the erythropoietin-dependent differentiation of bone marrow cells into erythroid colony forming units in a dose dependent manner. The effects on progenitor cell maturation were influenced by the conditions and time of exposure to the endorphins. The modulation of erythropoiesis by the endorphins suggests that these peptides may function as modifiers of the maturation of bone marrow cells.

Abstract
Incidence rates for aplastic anemia (AA) so far have been unavailable for defined populations in the United States. A study was carried out in the Baltimore Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area (SMSA) to examine the incidence rates for aplastic anemia from 1970 through 1978. Cases of AA (N = 118) were identified through medical records (N = 77) in SMSA hospitals and death certificates (N = 41). All medical charts were reviewed by an oncologist-hematologist for validation purposes. Among whites, average annual age-adjusted incidence rates per million were higher in males (7.1) than in females (5.4), whereas in nonwhites, females had a higher rate (7.3) than males (4.7). None of the sex differences was statistically significant. Age-specific incidence rates were consistently low in young ages, with an exponential increase after age 40. Examination of time trends did not suggest changes in whites, although in blacks, mainly in males, there was a suggestion of a temporal increase. However, rates in blacks were based on small numbers, and trends were not statistically significant. An inconsistent sex differential, as well as the relative stability of rates over time at least in whites, suggests that although sexes may have different types of exposures, occupational exposures and changes in environmental factors over time cannot entirely explain the occurrence of AA in the population. In addition, the age pattern suggests that future studies should examine etiologic agents separately for the younger and the older subjects with AA.

Abstract
We performed a prospective randomized trial of antithoracic duct lymphocyte globulin (ATDLG), HLA-haploidentical marrow, and androgen (regimen ABA) versus androgen alone (concurrent STANDARD care controls) in 42 newly diagnosed individuals with severe aplastic anemia. ABA patients also were matched with patients from our preceding study (historical STANDARD care controls). Supportive care and pretreatment patient characteristics were the same in all groups. By life table analysis, 76% of patients receiving ABA are alive at 2 yr compared to 31% of the concurrent control group (p less than 0.002 versus ABA) and 19% of the historical controls (p less than 0.0001 versus ABA) given STANDARD care. ABA patients had greater hematologic improvement than either control group (p less than 0.001). However, improvement with ABA was often incomplete. Toxicity of ATDLG was considerable but manageable. Further studies to determine the mechanism of action and active component(s) of ABA are indicated.

Abstract
Four Rh-positive patients with severe aplastic anemia received equine anti-lymphocyte globulin. Each developed a positive direct antiglobulin test. Anti-D was identified in eluates prepared from the patients' sensitized red cells. The administered lot of anti-lymphocyte globulin was found to contain anti-D. Red cell sensitization due to passively acquired Rh antibodies can result from the administration of anti-lymphocyte globulin.
