Abstract
Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) are multipotent stromal cells that have a critical role in the maintenance of skeletal tissues such as bone, cartilage, and the fat in bone marrow. In addition to providing microenvironmental support for hematopoietic processes, BM-MSCs can differentiate into various mesodermal lineages including osteoblast/osteocyte, chondrocyte, and adipocyte that are crucial for bone metabolism. While BM-MSCs have high cell-to-cell heterogeneity in gene expression, the cell subtypes that contribute to this heterogeneity in vivo in humans have not been characterized. To investigate the transcriptional diversity of BM-MSCs, we applied single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) on freshly isolated CD271+ BM-derived mononuclear cells (BM-MNCs) from two human subjects. We successfully identified LEPRhiCD45low BM-MSCs within the CD271+ BM-MNC population, and further codified the BM-MSCs into distinct subpopulations corresponding to the osteogenic, chondrogenic, and adipogenic differentiation trajectories, as well as terminal-stage quiescent cells. Biological functional annotations of the transcriptomes suggest that osteoblast precursors induce angiogenesis coupled with osteogenesis, and chondrocyte precursors have the potential to differentiate into myocytes. We also discovered transcripts for several clusters of differentiation (CD) markers that were either highly expressed (e.g., CD167b, CD91, CD130 and CD118) or absent (e.g., CD74, CD217, CD148 and CD68) in BM-MSCs, representing potential novel markers for human BM-MSC purification. This study is the first systematic in vivo dissection of human BM-MSCs cell subtypes at the single-cell resolution, revealing an insight into the extent of their cellular heterogeneity and roles in maintaining bone homeostasis.

Abstract
Recently, deep learning frameworks have been shown to be successful and efficient in processing digital histology images for various detection and classification tasks. Among these tasks, cell detection and classification are key steps in many computer-assisted diagnosis systems. Traditionally, cell detection and classification is performed as a sequence of two consecutive steps by using two separate deep learning networks: one for detection and the other for classification. This strategy inevitably increases the computational complexity of the training stage. In this paper, we propose a synchronized deep autoencoder network for simultaneous detection and classification of cells in bone marrow histology images. The proposed network uses a single architecture to detect the positions of cells and classify the detected cells, in parallel. It uses a curve-support Gaussian model to compute probability maps that allow detecting irregularly shape cells precisely. Moreover, the network includes a novel neighborhood selection mechanism to boost the classification accuracy. We show that the performance of the proposed network is superior than traditional deep learning detection methods and very competitive compared to traditional deep learning classification networks. Runtime comparison also shows that our network requires less time to be trained.

Abstract
Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) has broad applications across biomedical research. One of the key challenges is to ensure that only single, live cells are included in downstream analysis, as the inclusion of compromised cells inevitably affects data interpretation. Here, we present a generic approach for processing scRNA-seq data and detecting low quality cells, using a curated set of over 20 biological and technical features. Our approach improves classification accuracy by over 30 % compared to traditional methods when tested on over 5,000 cells, including CD4+ T cells, bone marrow dendritic cells, and mouse embryonic stem cells.

Abstract
Metabolic profiling of plasma nonesterified fatty acids discovered that palmitic acid (PA), a natural peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) ligand, is a reliable type 2 diabetes biomarker. We investigated whether and how PA diabetic (d-PA) concentrations affected endothelial progenitor cell (EPC) and bone marrow-derived hematopoietic cell (BM-HC) biology. PA physiologic (n-PA) and d-PA concentrations were used. Proliferating cell nuclear antigen content and signal transducer and activator of transcription 5 (STAT5), PPARγ, cyclin D1, and p21(Waf) expression were evaluated. Small interfering RNA technology, gene reporter luciferase assay, electrophoretic mobility shift assay, chromatin immunoprecipitation assay, and coimmunoprecipitation were exploited. In vivo studies and migration assays were also performed. d-PA, unlike n-PA or physiological and diabetic oleic and stearic acid concentrations, impaired EPC migration and EPC/BM-HC proliferation through a PPARγ-mediated STAT5 transcription inhibition. This event did not prevent the formation of a STAT5/PPARγ transcriptional complex but was crucial for gene targeting, as p21(Waf) gene promoter, unlike cyclin D1, was the STAT5/PPARγ transcriptional target. Similar molecular events could be detected in EPCs isolated from type 2 diabetic patients. By expressing a constitutively activated STAT5 form, we demonstrated that STAT5 content is crucial for gene targeting and EPC fate. Finally, we also provide in vivo data that d-PA-mediated EPC dysfunction could be rescued by PPARγ blockade. These data provide first insights on how mechanistically d-PA drives EPC/BM-HC dysfunction in diabetes.

Abstract
PURPOSE As part of the authors' research on potential osteogenesis by filling bone defects with human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (hBM-MSCs) in patients with cleft lip and palate, they examined the cytoproliferative potential and cytobiological activity of hBM-MSCs in vitro and their osteogenic potential in vivo without performing osteoinduction. MATERIALS AND METHODS The hBM-MSCs were collected from iliac cancellous bone and then used in primary culture, followed by 2 subcultures using an autologous serum (AS)-containing medium and a fetal bovine serum (FBS)-containing medium. Cytoproliferative potential and cytobiological activity as expressed by bone markers (alkaline phosphatase and osteocalcin) in hBM-MSCs cultured in the AS-containing medium (AS-cultured hBM-MSCs) and the FBS-containing medium (FBS-cultured hBM-MSCs) were examined in vitro, and the osteogenic potential of AS- and FBS-cultured hBM-MSCs was examined in mice. RESULTS On day 6 of the second subculture, the number of hBM-MSCs per milliliter of specimen from 8 pediatric patients was significantly larger (P < .05) in FBS-cultured compared with AS-cultured hBM-MSCs. The alkaline phosphatase activity of hBM-MSCs was significantly greater (P < .05) when cultured in the AS-containing medium compared with the FBS-containing medium. The in vivo study showed the formation of an osteoid-like matrix rather than definite bone tissue. CONCLUSIONS 1) FBS is appropriate for the cytoproliferation of hBM-MSCs; 2) the AS-containing medium is likely to have a good possibility of inducing the differentiation of hBM-MSCs; and 3) AS-cultured hBM-MSCs contain a group of cells that spontaneously differentiate into an osteoid-like matrix without performing osteoinduction.

Abstract
The last decade was dominated by dissemination of the notion that postnatal "mesenchymal stem cells," found primarily in bone marrow but also in other tissues, can generate multiple skeletal and nonskeletal tissues, and thus can be exploited to regenerate a broad range of tissues and organs. The concept of "mesenchymal stem cells" and its applicative implications represent a significant departure from the solidly proven notion that skeletal stem cells are found in the bone marrow (and not in other tissues). Recent data that sharpen our understanding of the identity, nature, origin, and in vivo function of the archetypal "mesenchymal stem cells" (bone marrow skeletal stem cells) point to their microvascular location, mural cell identity, and function as organizers and regulators of the hematopoietic microenvironment/niche. These advances bring back the original concept from which the notion of "mesenchymal stem cells" evolved, and clarify a great deal of experimental data that accumulated in the past decade. As a novel paradigm emerges that accounts for many facets of the biology of skeletal stem cells, a novel paradigm independently emerges for their applicative/translational use. The two paradigms meet each other back in the future.

Abstract
The study was aimed to analyse and enumerate the dendritic cells (DC) subsets in peripheral blood and bone marrow (BM) of healthy individuals in China by using 2 panel 4-color flow cytometry (FCM). The percentage and absolute number of Lin-HLA-DR+CD11chiBDCA1+ myeloid DC (mDC) and Lin-HLA-DR+CD123hiBDCA2+ plasmacytoid DC (pDC) were detected in 35 normal BM (NBM) and 29 normal peripheral blood (NPB), the results were compared with the Lin-HLA-DR+CD11chimDC and Lin-HLA-DR+CD123hi pDC obtained by 3-color FCM. The results indicated that both absolute count of DC subset and relative count of pDC in BM were decreased along with increase of age, the absolute count of DC subset in male BM was higher than that in femoral BM (p<0.05). The DC subsets in NBM and NPB were different whatever by 3 or 4-color cytometric analysis, there were more mDCs than pDCs in PB and the ratio of mDC to pDC was 2.70 and 2.31 respectively. In contrast, pDCs predominated in BM, the ratio of mDC to pDC in BM was 0.90 and 0.71 respectively. The quantity of DC subsets significantly correlated to both frequency (mDC r=0.86; pDC r=0.96, p<0.05) and absolute number (mDC r=0.95; pDC r=0.98, p<0.05) between 3 and 4-color cytometric analysis. The quantity of DC subsets in PB and BM were significantly different, counted by 3 and 4-color cytometric analysis except pDC in PB (p<0.001). The quantity of DC subsets were much higher by 3-color than that by 4-color analysis. Since some Lin-HLA-DR+CD11chimDC and Lin-HLA-DR+CD123hi pDC were BDCA1- and BDCA-2dim/- respectively, that more were in BM than in PB. It is concluded that the DC absolute enumeration is correlated with sample type, gender, age and total nucleated cells (p<0.05). 4-color antibody combination may help to identify the real DC subsets in BM. DC subsets in NBM and NPB are different, that more mDC are in PB whereas more pDC in BM.

Abstract
The optimal schedule of post-chemotherapy granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) administration has not been determined. G-CSF is customarily started 24 hours after chemotherapy; however, clinical data demonstrated that delaying G-CSF until 5 days after completion of chemotherapy has not resulted in a longer duration of neutropenia. Here, we examined the optimal timing of post-chemotherapy G-CSF administration in a mouse model, to show that delayed administration does not postpone the appearance of mature granulocytes in the peripheral blood. We also investigated the mechanism of decreased efficacy of the early G-CSF application after chemotherapy by characterizing the changes in bone marrow cellular composition. To our knowledge, we demonstrate for the first time, that early after chemotherapy, the bone marrow is predominantly composed of mature residual granulocytes and very few progenitors and precursors, on which G-CSF would act to generate granulocytes. The point when immature progenitors reappear does not occur in murine bone marrow until 48 hours after a single dose of cyclophosphamide. Our results indicate that the bone marrow cellular composition early after discontinuation of chemotherapy is not optimal for G-CSF action on acceleration of myeloid recovery. Given the high cost of G-CSF prophylaxis, its delayed administration may potentially result in substantial economic benefits.

Abstract
The proportion of counts of different types of white blood cells in the bone marrow, called differential counts, provides invaluable information to doctors for diagnosis. Due to the tedious nature of the differential white blood cell counting process, an automatic system is preferable. In this paper, we investigate whether information about the nucleus alone is adequate to classify white blood cells. This is important because segmentation of nucleus is much easier than the segmentation of the entire cell, especially in the bone marrow where the white blood cell density is very high. In the experiments, a set of manually segmented images of the nucleus are used to decouple segmentation errors. We analyze a set of white-blood-cell-nucleus-based features using mathematical morphology. Fivefold cross validation is used in the experiments in which Bayes' classifiers and artificial neural networks are applied as classifiers. The classification performances are evaluated by two evaluation measures: traditional and classwise classification rates. Furthermore, we compare our results with other classifiers and previously proposed nucleus-based features. The results show that the features using nucleus alone can be utilized to achieve a classification rate of 77% on the test sets. Moreover, the classification performance is better in the classwise sense when the a priori information is suppressed in both the classifiers.

Abstract
Here, we describe two new surface antigens, named 6D10 and 2B2, whose expression is restricted to porcine granulocytes. 6D10 is only detected in neutrophils and its expression decreases from promyelocytes to mature cells. By contrast, 2B2 antigen is selectively expressed in mature neutrophils, eosinophils and basophils. The expression of these antigens along granulocyte maturation allows the discrimination of several developmental stages of granulocytes based on phenotypic, morphological and functional characteristics previously established. Moreover, these new markers are useful tools to easily characterize the different granulocytes lineages (neutrophils, eosinophils and basophils). By using multiparameter flow cytometric analysis, we have performed a phenotypic and functional characterization of the granulocyte subsets identified by the combination of 6D10 and 2B2 antigens.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to establish the simultaneous measurement of nucleated cell counts and cellular differentials in rat bone marrow examination. The bone marrow cells were stained with an anthraquinone fluorescent DNA stain (DRAQ5) and fluorescence-labeled antibodies, and were analyzed quantitatively using a flow cytometer in the presence of internal standard beads. DRAQ5 distinguished populations of nucleated cells. The absolute counts of nucleated cells were determined using an internal standard, and were equivalent to that measured by the electrical resistance method. The population of nucleated cells was classified into myeloids and erythroids by labeling with CD11b/c and CD71 antibodies, respectively. In a separate examination, T- and B-lymphocytes were also classified by labeling with CD3 and CD45RA antibodies, respectively. The classification of each cell lineage was identical with that of the alternative flow-cytometric method in which cells were differentiated according to cellular size and the fluorescence of a peroxidase indicator, 2',7'-dichlorofluorescin. The ratios of cell lineage, together with myeloid/erythroid ratio (ME), were the same as those obtained by a manual microscopic method. The present flow cytometric method enables the simultaneous measurement of the total nucleated cell counts and cellular differentials of rat bone marrow cells, allowing for rapid and highly quantitative bone marrow examination in rats.

Abstract
Most hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are assumed to reside in the so-called side population (SP) in adult mouse bone marrow (BM). We report the coexistence of non-SP HSCs that do not significantly differ from SP HSCs in numbers, capacities, and cell-cycle states. When stained with Hoechst 33342 dye, the CD34(-/low) c-Kit(+)Sca-1(+)lineage marker(-) (CD34(-)KSL) cell population, highly enriched in mouse HSCs, was almost equally divided into the SP and the main population (MP) that represents non-SP cells. Competitive repopulation assays with single or 30 SP- or MP-CD34(-)KSL cells found similar degrees of repopulating activity and frequencies of repopulating cells for these populations. Secondary transplantation detected self-renewal capacity in both populations. SP analysis of BM cells from primary recipient mice suggested that the SP and MP phenotypes are interconvertible. Cell-cycle analyses revealed that CD34(-)KSL cells were in a quiescent state and showed uniform cell-cycle kinetics, regardless of whether they were in the SP or MP. Bcrp-1 expression was similarly detected in SP- and MP-CD34(-)KSL cells, suggesting that the SP phenotype is regulated not only by Bcrp-1, but also by other factors. The SP phenotype does not specify all HSCs; its identity with stem cell function thus is unlikely.

Abstract
The goal of our study was to identify a subset of genes commonly expressed in Side Populations (SP), isolated by Hoechst staining followed by flow cytometry, from adult mouse bone marrow, male adult germinal cells, muscle primary culture, and mesenchymal cells. These SP cells have been proposed to be a "stem-like" population and are used here as a "model" that may reveal mechanisms which would be relevant for a better understanding of stem cell properties. Transcriptional profiles for SP and the more differentiated non-SP cells isolated from the four tissues were compared by hybridization on microarray using a common external reference. Among the 503 genes differentially expressed, which discriminate SP and non-SP cells in all the tissues, the genes upregulated in SP cells are implicated in the quiescent status of the cells, the maintenance of their pluripotency and the capacity to undergo asymmetric division. These genes may be responsible for the decision for self-renewal of these cells, whereas the repression of lineage-affiliated genes in SP cells could be responsible for their undifferentiated state. These genes, acting in concert, may be the key players that mediate the mechanisms that control stem cell functions, and our results suggest that we have identified common "stemness functions" of these "stem-like" cells.

Abstract
Dendritic cells (DC) play a central role in antigen presentation and are often targeted by adenoviral (Ad)-based gene therapy. However, DC lack the coxsackie-Ad receptor, and little is known about the process by which they acquire and present Ad-encoded antigens. We examined the expression of alpha(v)beta3 integrins (CD51/CD61) on mouse bone marrow-derived DC (BM-DC) and their susceptibility to transduction by Ad vectors. Less than 10% of BM-DC precursors expressed CD51, but expression increased over time in culture with granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF)/interleukin (IL)-4. After 7 days, 28 +/- 1.7% of CD11c+ DC expressed high levels of CD51 (CD51(hi)), and the remaining DC expressed low levels of CD51 (CD51(lo)). CD51(hi) CD express higher major histocompatibility complex type 1 (MHC I); however, both of the DC subsets expressed similar levels of MHC II and costimulatory molecules. When exposed to a first-generation Ad vector, transgene expression was restricted to the CD51(hi) DC subset and blocked by soluble peptides expressing an arginine, glycine, aspartic acid (RGD) sequence, confirming the role of integrins in viral entry. Consistent with this, a modified Ad expressing an RGD-binding sequence in its fiber knob (Ad-RGD) transduced the CD51(hi) DC subset with significantly higher efficiency. When BM-DC were transduced with an Ad-expressing ovalbumin (Ad-OVA), the CD51(hi) subset proved superior in activating OT-I (T cell receptor-OVA) T cells. Similar to in vitro effects, systemic administration of GM-CSF/IL-4 increased the expression of CD51 on splenic DC and rendered these cells susceptible to Ad transduction. These results suggest that a limited subset of DC expressing high levels of alpha(v)beta3 integrins is preferentially transduced by Ad vectors and activates CD8+ T cell responses against Ad-encoded antigens.

Abstract
Expression of c-Kit (CD117) and stem cell factor/c-Kit-mediated cell proliferation were tested in vitro in young and old B6D2F1 mice to study the role of c-Kit signaling in hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) senescence. Increasing age is associated with a significant increase in bone marrow (BM) cells without affecting mature blood cells. The number of c-Kit-expressing BM cells increased significantly in old mice when compared to young controls, to 201% in total BM cells, 261% in Lin(-) cells, 517% in Lin(-)CD34(+)Sca1(+) progenitor cells, and 1272% in Lin(-)CD34(-)Sca1(+) HSCs. Sorted Lin(-)Sca1(+)CD117(+) BM cells from an old mouse expanded 5-fold when cultured in vitro for 72 hours with stem cell factor at 25 ng/ml, which was significantly higher than a 2.5-fold expansion of the same cells from a young donor. HSCs and progenitor cells from B6D2F1 mice maintain extremely high proliferative potentials and do not reach proliferative arrest at old age during a normal life span.

Abstract
The study of normal or malignant haematopoiesis requires the analysis of heterogeneous cell populations using multiple morphological and molecular criteria. Flow cytometry has the capacity to acquire multi-parameter information of large haematopoietic cell populations, utilizing various combinations of >200 molecular markers (clusters of differentiation, CD). However, current flow cytometry analyses are based on serial gating of two-parametric scatter plots--a process that is inherently incapable to discriminate all subgroups of cells in the data. Here we studied the cellular diversity of normal bone marrows (BM) using multi-dimensional cluster analysis of six-parametric flow cytometry data (four CD, forward scatter and side scatter), focusing mainly on the myeloid lineage. Twenty-three subclasses of cells were resolved, many of them inseparable even when examined in all possible two-parametric scatter plots. The multi-dimensional analysis could distinguish the haematopoietic progenitors according to International Society of Haematotherapy and Graft Engineering criteria from other types of immature cells. Based on the defined clusters, we designed a classifier that assigns BM cells in samples to subclasses based on robust six-dimensional position and extended shape. The analysis presented here can manage successfully both the increasing numbers of haematopoietic cellular markers and sample heterogeneity. This should enhance the ability to study normal haematopoiesis, and to identify and monitor haematopoietic disorders.

Abstract
AbstractPlasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) play an important primary role for antiviral innate immunity by rapidly producing large amounts of type 1 interferon (IFN) upon viral infection. To study pDC biology, we generated a monoclonal antibody, termed 2E6, that recognizes pDCs. Molecular cloning of a cDNA encoding the 2E6 antigen revealed that it is a type II C-type lectin, Ly49Q, that consists of 247 amino acids with high homology to the natural killer (NK) receptor family Ly49, with an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif in the cytoplasmic domain. Ly49Q is expressed on pDCs but not on NK cells or myeloid dendritic cells. B220+, CD11c+, CD11b– pDCs in bone marrow were divided into Ly49Q+ and Ly49Q– subsets. While both subsets produced IFN-α upon cytosine-phosphate-guanosine (CpG) and herpes simplex virus stimulation, Ly49Q– pDCs responded poorly to influenza virus. In addition, Ly49Q– pDCs produced inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin 6 (IL-6), IL-12, and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) upon stimulation at lower levels than those produced by Ly49Q+ pDCs. In contrast to bone marrow, Ly49Q+ pDCs were only found in peripheral blood, lymph nodes, and spleen. These results indicate that Ly49Q is a specific marker for peripheral pDCs and that expression of Ly49Q defines 2 subsets of pDCs in bone marrow.

Abstract
This review is the second in a series of four devoted to the analysis of recent studies on stem cells. The first considered embryo stem cells (ES). This review covers bone marrow stem cells. They are analysed initially in a historical perspective, and then in relation to foundation studies in the later 20th century before a detailed analysis is presented on very recent studies. Methods of identifying, culturing, expanding and grafting stem cells are described, including the separation of haemopoietic and mesenchyme cell lines (HSC and MSC) and recent more detailed analyses using numerous CD and other markers to identify very small subsets of stem cells such as multipotent adult progenitor cells (MAPC) and bone marrow stromal stem cells (BMSSC) from MSC. Queries arising on the immense potential of these stem cell lines due to the discovery of epigentic factors and cell fusions influencing their development and potency are described. A section on cord blood stem cells is followed by a detailed discussion on the modern situation regarding the clinical use of stem cells, its recent setbacks due to epigenetic factors, different approaches to the discovery of a highly multipotent bone marrow stem cell, and a brief description of embryological approaches to identifying the basic bone marrow stem cell in very early mammalian embryos.

Abstract
Side Population (SP) cells, isolated from murine adult bone marrow (BM) based on the exclusion of the DNA dye Hoechst 33342, exhibit potent hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) activity when compared to Main Population (MP) cells. Furthermore, SP cells derived from murine skeletal muscle exhibit both hematopoietic and myogenic potential in vivo. The multipotential capacity of SP cells isolated from variable tissues is supported by an increasing number of studies. To investigate whether the SP phenotype is associated with a unique transcriptional profile, we characterized gene expression of SP cells isolated from two biologically distinct tissues, bone marrow and muscle. Comparison of SP cells with differentiated MP cells within a tissue revealed that SP cells are in an active transcriptional and translational status and underexpress genes reflecting tissue-specific functions. Direct comparison of gene expression of SP cells isolated from different tissues identified genes common to SP cells as well as genes specific to SP cells within a particular tissue and further define a muscle and bone marrow environment. This study reports gene expression of muscle SP cells, common features and differences between SP cells isolated from muscle and bone marrow, and further identifies common signaling pathways that might regulate SP cell functions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We recently reported the safety and feasibility of autologous bone marrow mononuclear cell (ABMMNC) injection into areas of ischemic myocardium in patients with end-stage ischemic cardiomyopathy. The present study evaluated the safety and efficacy of this therapy at 6- and 12-month follow-up. METHODS AND RESULTS Twenty patients with 6- and 12-month follow-up (11 treated subjects; 9 controls) were enrolled in this prospective, nonrandomized, open-label study. Complete clinical and laboratory evaluations as well as exercise stress (ramp treadmill), 2-dimensional Doppler echocardiography, single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) perfusion scanning, and 24-hour Holter monitoring were performed at baseline and follow-up. Transendocardial delivery of ABMMNCs was performed with the aid of electromechanical mapping to identify viable myocardium. Each patient received 15 ABMMNC injections of 0.2 mL each. At 6 and 12 months, total reversible defect, as measured by SPECT perfusion scanning, was significantly reduced in the treatment group as compared with the control group. At 12 months, exercise capacity was significantly improved in the treatment group. This improvement correlated well with monocyte, B-cell, hematopoietic progenitor cell, and early hemapoietic progenitor cell phenotypes. CONCLUSIONS The 6- and 12-month follow-up data in this study suggest that transendocardial injection of ABMMNCs in patients with end-stage ischemic heart disease may produce a durable therapeutic effect and improve myocardial perfusion and exercise capacity.

Abstract
The present study compared the contents of pluripotent and lineage-committed hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs) in various types of allografts. Bone marrow (BM) allografts and single leukapheresis products (LPs) collected from G-CSF-mobilized donors contained similar amounts of pluripotent HPCs (CD34(+)CD38(-)) and total CD34(+) cells. However, the content of late-myeloid HPCs (CD34(+)CD33(+)CD15(+)) were significantly higher in BM grafts compared to LPs (P>0.02), whereas the contents of early-myeloid HPCs (CD34(+)CD33(+)CD15-) were 2.5-fold higher in LPs (P<0.03). In comparison to grafts from adult donors, cord blood (CB) grafts contained 26-65-fold lower amounts of early-myeloid HPCs (P<0.001), but only 8-12-fold lower contents of pluripotent HPCs (P<0.04). Additional findings demonstrated that among all tested parameters the numbers of early-myeloid HPCs were the most accurate measure of the total colony-forming cell (CFC) numbers in allografts. Hence, the earlier engraftment observed after transplantation of LPs compared to BM grafts might be explained by the higher content of early-myeloid HPCs/CFCs in LPs. Moreover, the slow engraftment following CB transplantation might not be affected essentially by the low number of myeloid HPCs, but rather by pluripotent HPCs. Finally, this study reports a new gating strategy for the enumeration of pluripotent CD34(+)CD38(-) subsets.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Discrimination of stem cells with flow cytometric analysis of Hoechst 33342 efflux by the ABCG2 transporter (termed the Hoechst side population, or SP technique) is a valuable methodology for identifying bone marrow progenitors enriched with stem cells. Unfortunately, it requires a ultraviolet (UV) laser source, usually necessitating an expensive and maintenance-intensive argon- or krypton-ion gas laser on a large-scale cell sorter. In this study, we evaluated the ability of recently available violet and near-UV laser diodes to discriminate Hoechst SP on smaller cuvette-based flow cytometers. METHODS Violet laser diodes (emitting at 408 and 401 nm) and a near-UV laser diode (emitting at 370 nm) were mounted on a BD Biosciences LSR II and evaluated for their ability to discriminate Hoechst SP in murine bone marrow. RESULTS The violet laser diodes discriminated the Hoechst SP, but with poorer resolution than with the standard UV gas laser on a large-scale cell sorter. The near-UV laser diode, in contrast, gave excellent Hoechst SP resolution. CONCLUSIONS These evaluations indicated that near-UV laser diodes give excellent Hoechst SP resolution on cuvette-based instruments. As the next generation of cell sorters integrate cuvette-based cell interrogation into conventional jet-in-air cell separation, these laser sources should become applicable for analysis and physical separation of Hoechst SP cells.

Abstract
We previously reported a new in vivo model named as "GFP/CCl(4) model" for monitoring the transdifferentiation of green fluorescent protein (GFP) positive bone marrow cell (BMC) into albumin-positive hepatocyte under the specific "niche" made by CCl(4) induced persistent liver damage, but the subpopulation which BMCs transdifferentiate into hepatocytes remains unknown. Here we developed a new monoclonal antibody, anti-Liv8, using mouse E 11.5 fetal liver as an antigen. Anti-Liv8 recognized both hematopoietic progenitor cells in fetal liver at E 11.5 and CD45-positive hematopoietic cells in adult bone marrow. We separated Liv8-positive and Liv8-negative cells and then transplanted these cells into a continuous liver damaged model. At 4 weeks after BMC transplantation, more efficient repopulation and transdifferentiation of BMC into hepatocytes were seen with Liv8-negative cells. These findings suggest that the subpopulation of Liv8-negative cells includes useful cells to perform cell therapy on repair damaged liver.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Multiparameter flow cytometry is increasingly used to monitor minimal residual disease in patients with acute myeloid leukemia to identify leukemic cells by leukemia-associated aberrant immunophenotypes (LAIPs). Changes in LAIPs during the course of the disease may be a limitation for this approach. METHODS We analyzed 49 patients at diagnosis and relapse by flow cytometry, cytomorphology, cytogenetics, and molecular genetics. RESULTS In 37 patients (76%), at least one LAIP detectable at diagnosis was present at relapse; in 12 patients (24%), none of the original LAIPs were present in at least 1% of bone marrow cells. Three groups were identified: no change in LAIPs, partial changes in LAIPs, and complete change in LAIPs. There were significant differences across these groups with regard to changes in cytomorphology (11%, 40%, and 58% of all cases, respectively; P = 0.007), cytogenetics (15%, 20%, and 25%; not significant), and molecular genetics (18%, 0, and 86%; P = 0.002). CONCLUSIONS These data indicate that, in a subset of patients with acute myeloid leukemia, the disease is biologically different at relapse; therefore, monitoring of minimal residual disease is difficult to accomplish. In most patients with acute myeloid leukemia, multiparameter flow cytometry may be used to monitor minimal residual disease.

Abstract
Bone marrow (BM) contains hematopoietic stem cells, which differentiate into all mature blood cells, and marrow stromal cells that provide the microenvironment for hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells along with the capability to differentiate into mature cells of multiple mesenchymal tissues including fat, bone, and cartilage. Recent studies indicate that adult BM also contains cells that can differentiate into nonhematopoietic cells of ectodermal, mesodermal, and endodermal tissues other than hematopoietic tissues, including liver, pancreas, kidney, lung, skin, gastrointestinal tract, heart, skeletal muscles, and neural tissues. Studies reporting the multipotentiality of BM cells have become a focus of interest because they suggest that clinical applications could be at hand using easily obtainable cells in the treatment of tissue damage or degenerative diseases. Presently, however, definitive evidence explaining the mechanism of this multipotentiality of BM stem cells is lacking. In this review, we summarize recent progress and controversies in investigation of the multipotentiality of adult BM-derived stem cells to differentiate into nonhematopoietic tissues.

Abstract
Primary brain tumors seldom infiltrate into the cranium, even if they are invasive in the central nervous system. In this study, we examined whether blood stem cells can be harvested from cranial bone at craniotomy. Bone marrow cells in cranial bone were counted in 181 craniotomy specimens after staining with hematoxylin and eosin. Marrow volume was measured in 37 specimens using three-dimensional computed tomography (CT). In 10 cases, viable cells collected from very small bone pieces at craniotomy were cultured to examine granulocyte/macrophage colony-forming units (CFU-GM). In 2 cases, bone marrow cells were practically harvested from removed bone at surgery. The weight of bone flap at craniotomy was 35.0 +/- 18.0 g. Bone flap marrow contained 1.5 x 10(9) cells/ml. CT examination showed that bone flap volume was 35.0 +/- 9.0 ml and marrow ratio was 65.1 +/- 13.5%. Thus, at craniotomy, a typical bone flap contained about 3.4 x 10(10) cells. Bone marrow cell count gradually decreased as subject age increased. The bone pieces obtained at craniotomy contained 3.1 +/- 3.4 x 10(6) cells/g, and CFU-GM count was 0.4 x 10(5) cells/g. In one case, we collected 3.4 x 10(8) cells, including 1.8 x 10(6) CFU-GM colonies. In another case, we collected 9.7 x 10(8) cells, including 4.8 x 10(6) CFU-GM colonies. These findings indicate that, at craniotomy, the number of blood stem cells in a typical bone flap is sufficient for autologous blood stem cell rescue.

Abstract
The primary age-related loss in B cell progenitors is thought to be at the pro- to pre-B cell transition. However, we show that the frequencies and absolute numbers of all progenitor populations for the B cell lineage, including B-lineage-committed pro-B cells and multipotent B-lymphoid progenitors, decline in aged C57BL/6 mice. Moreover, when derived from aged mice, lymphoid progenitors within every population examined exhibited suboptimal IL-7 responsiveness, demonstrating that age-associated suboptimal IL-7R signaling is a general property of all early B-lineage precursors. Collectively, these data indicate that aging results in a previously unappreciated decline in the earliest stages of B cell development.

Abstract
Transplantation of human cells into animal models of neurodegenerative disorders is an important scientific application to analyse the survival and developmental capacity of grafted human cells under in vivo conditions. It is critical, therefore, to have a reliable method to distinguish between human and animal cells. In the present study, we describe a combined in situ hybridisation and immunocytochemistry method for the identification of human cells in cultured rat brain cells and xenografts. The specific Alu probe we utilised, which corresponds to the consensus sequence of human Alu repeats was evaluated by southern blot hybridisation of zoo blot and by in situ hybridisation of primary and neoplastic cells from man, rat, mouse, and hamster. This method allows a definite identification of human cells in neural xenografts and, in combination with additional in situ techniques, a further detection of grafted cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Detection of minimal residual disease (MRD) by multiparameter flow cytometry is an emerging prognostic factor in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The present analysis aimed at improving the applicability of this approach to more patients with AML. DESIGN AND METHODS Bone marrow samples from unselected patients with AML at diagnosis and from healthy volunteers were immunophenotyped applying triple-stainings of 31 antigens. Leukemia-associated immunophenotypes were defined by gating on populations displaying an aberrant or infrequent immunophenotype and by applying Boolean algebra. The combination of gates obtained was applied to list mode data files containing measurements of normal bone marrow samples. Dilution experiments of AML samples in normal bone marrow were performed to test the linearity of measurements. RESULTS At least one aberrant/infrequent immunophenotype was identified (median, 2; range, 1-5) in all of 68 analyzed AML patients. The median frequencies of cells displaying an aberrant/infrequent immunophenotype within normal bone marrow ranged from 0.00% to 1.20% (median, 0.07%). Limiting this analysis to only the most sensitive aberrant/infrequent immunophenotype per patient resulted in frequencies of cells displaying an aberrant/infrequent immunophenotype within normal bone marrow ranging from 0.00% to 0.43% (median, 0.05%). Serial dilution experiments confirmed the linearity of measurements (R>0.90 in all cases analyzed). INTERPRETATION AND CONCLUSIONS The application of multiparameter flow cytometry to identify cells displaying an aberrant/infrequent immunophenotype and to quantify MRD is feasible in unselected patients with AML.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the clonal characteristics of B cells in the synovial membranes of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. METHODS The clonality of B cells at separate sites of the synovial membrane and other tissues from RA patients were investigated by a reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction with a VH framework 3 consensus primer and a subsequent single-strand conformation polymorphism analysis. RESULTS Several dominant bands were observed in all synovial membrane samples and some of the dominants bands were common among the 2 or 3 separate regions of each synovial sample. The persistent existence of clonal B cells was observed in metachronous synovial fluid samples. CONCLUSION Infiltrating B cells are oligoclonal and antigen-driven mechanisms may play a role in the generation of clonal B cells in RA synovium. The stable presence of B cell clones in synovial fluid suggests the involvement of these clones in the perpetuation of the chronic inflammation in RA.

Abstract
Fourier transform infrared microspectroscopy (FTIR-MSP), which is based on the characteristic molecular vibrational spectra of cells, was used to investigate spectral differences between normal primary rabbit bone marrow (BM) cells and bone marrow cells transformed (BMT) by murine sarcoma virus (MuSV). Primary cells, rather than cell lines, were used for this research because primary cells are similar to normal tissue cells in most of their characteristics. Our results showed dramatic changes in absorbance between the control cells and MuSV124-transformed cells. Various biological markers, such as the phosphate level and the RNA/DNA obtained, based on the analysis of the FTIR-MSP spectra, also displayed significant differences between the control and transformed cells. Preliminary results suggested that the cluster analysis performed on the FTIR-MSP spectra yielded 100% accuracy in classifying both types of cells.

Abstract
Reference ranges for each cell type and six different ratios (M : E ratio = quotient of number of myeloid cells/erythroid precursors; different maturation ratios) were calculated for bone marrow aspirates of adult dogs. These values were based on 2.5 and 97.5% percentiles of differentials of 1000 cells in bone marrow aspirates of 92 healthy 1-8-year-old dogs. The results of intact male and female dogs were compared. No distinct sex-related differences were found (P > 0.05). A wide physiological range was observed in almost all bone marrow cells resulting in broad reference ranges for the ratios. The clinically relevant M : E ratio varied between 0.45 and 2.87. The accurate cytological examination of bone marrow based on the reference ranges presented in this study requires preparation of high-quality bone marrow films with minimal blood contamination.

Abstract
Postnatal CD34(+) cells expressing vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (KDR) generate hematopoietic or endothelial progeny in different in vitro and in vivo assays. Hypothetically, CD34(+)KDR(+) cells may comprise hemangioblasts bipotent for both lineages. This hypothesis is consistent with 2 series of experiments. In the first series, in clonogenic culture permissive for hematopoietic and endothelial cell growth, CD34(+)KDR(+) cells generate large hemato-endothelial (Hem-End) colonies (5% of seeded cells), whereas CD34(+)KDR(-) cells do not. Limiting-dilution analysis indicates that Hem-End colonies are clonally generated by single hemangioblasts. Sibling cells generated by a hemangioblast, replated in unicellular culture, produce either hematopoietic or Hem-End colonies, depending on the specific culture conditions. Identification of endothelial cells was based on the expression of VE-cadherin and endothelial markers and with lack of CD45 and hematopoietic molecules, as evaluated by immunofluorescence, immunocytochemistry, and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. Furthermore, endothelial cells were functionally identified using low-density lipoprotein (LDL) uptake and tube-formation assays. In the second series, to evaluate the self-renewal capacity of hemangioblasts, single CD34(+)KDR(+) cells were grown in 3-month extended long-term culture (ELTC) through 3 serial culture rounds-that is, blast cells generated in unicellular ELTC were reseeded for a subsequent round of unicellular ELTC. After 9 months, 10% blasts from tertiary ELTC functioned as hemangioblasts and generated macroscopic Hem-End colonies in clonogenic culture. These studies identified postnatal hemangioblasts in a CD34(+)KDR(+) cell subset, endowed with long-term proliferative potential and bilineage differentiation capacity. Although exceedingly rare, hemangioblasts may represent the lifetime source/reservoir for primitive hematopoietic and endothelial progenitors.

Abstract
Adult human bone marrow-derived stem cells, having the ability to differentiate into cells of multiple lineages, have been isolated and propagated by varied protocols, including positive (CD105(+))/negative (CD45(-)GlyA(-)) selection with immunomagnetic beads, or direct plating into selective culture media. Each substratum-adherent cell population was subjected to a systematic analysis of their cell surface markers and differentiation potential. In the initial stages of culture, each cell population proliferated slowly, reaching confluence in 10-14 days. Adherent cells proliferated at similar rates whether cultured in serum-free medium supplemented with basic fibroblast growth factor, medium containing 2% fetal bovine serum (FBS) supplemented with epidermal growth factor and platelet-derived growth factor, or medium containing 10% FBS alone. Cell surface marker analysis revealed that more than 95% of the cells were positive for CD105/endoglin, a putative mesenchymal stem cell marker, and negative for CD34, CD31, and CD133, markers of hematopoietic, endothelial, and neural stem cells, respectively, regardless of cell isolation and propagation method. CD44 expression was variable, apparently dependent on serum concentration. Functional similarity of the stem cell populations was also observed, with each different cell population expressing the cell type-specific markers beta-tubulin, type II collagen, and desmin, and demonstrating endothelial tube formation when cultured under conditions favoring neural, cartilage, muscle, and endothelial cell differentiation, respectively. On the basis of these data, adult human bone marrow-derived stem cells cultured in adherent monolayer are virtually indistinguishable, both physically and functionally, regardless of the method of isolation or proliferative expansion.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Subsetting of Hoechst 33342 dull (Ho(dull)) hematopoietic stem cells on the basis of rhodamine 123 (Rh) efflux utilizing an improved dual-dye efflux strategy resolves Ho(dull)/Rh(dull) stem cell subsets that differ with regard to their rate of recruitment and progression through the cell cycle upon exposure to cytokines. MATERIALS AND METHODS Murine bone marrow cells were isolated by negative immunomagnetic selection using lineage-directed antibodies followed by Ho and Rh staining using a dual-dye efflux method. RESULTS Ho(dull)/Rh(dull) stem cells that efflux Rh more efficiently (R1) exhibit a 4- to 8-hour delay in progression to S phase when stimulated by interleukin-3 (IL-3), IL-6, IL-11, and stem cell factor (SCF) compared to Ho(dull)/Rh(medium) stem cells, which retain low levels of Rh (R2). R1 and R2 cells show a hierarchical entry into S phase upon exposure to any or all of these cytokines. The R1 subset contains proportionately more high proliferative potential colony-forming cells than the R2 subset, but equivalent levels of engraftable stem cells at 3 and 8 weeks after competitive transplantation. Both R1 and R2 cells express c-kit, IL-3R, and IL-11R, whereas IL-6R and c-fms are only expressed by R1 or R2 cells, respectively. Cytokine stimulation of R1 and R2 cells induced cell cycle progression with elevated or induced expression of c-kit, c-fms, IL-2R, and IL-6R. CONCLUSION These studies indicate that primitive marrow stem cells can be further subsetted by degree of Rh staining to reveal important functional phenotypic differences between cells with different levels of Rh staining.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to develop novel markers for enrichment of hematopoietic progenitors from bone marrow of swine. MATERIALS AND METHODS We previously showed that pig bone marrow contains a "side population" (SP) of Hoechst dye-effluxing cells that resembles the hematopoietic stem cell (HSC)-containing murine SP and therefore represents a putative pig stem cell population. We screened a panel of monoclonal antibodies for those that allowed positive or negative enrichment of porcine SP cells and tested one of these for enrichment of hematopoietic progenitors in short-term and long-term in vitro assays. We then screened an expression library to clone the gene whose product is recognized by this antibody. RESULTS Among a panel of 35 monoclonal lines screened, we found three that were useful for positive enrichment of SP cells and seven for negative enrichment. The 4-6 monoclonal line, allowing around 10-fold negative enrichment of SP cells, recognized the product of the porcine CD9 gene. Hematopoietic progenitors measured by short-term colony-forming unit and long-term cobblestone area-forming cell assays were around 10-fold enriched in the CD9(negative/low) fraction and were significantly depleted in the CD9(high) fraction. CONCLUSIONS The antibody against the porcine CD9 gene product may be of use for enrichment of porcine hematopoietic stem cells. This approach to identify novel markers for enrichment of hematopoietic progenitors may be applicable to other mammalian species.

Abstract
Studies presented here show that the expression of CD4, MHC class II (Ia,) and B220 cleanly resolves a major and a minor subset within the earliest pro-B cell population (germ-line pro-B) in adult bone marrow (BM). The major subset expresses intermediate B220 and low CD4 levels. The minor subset, which constitutes roughly 20% of the adult germ-line pro-B, expresses very low B220 levels and does not express CD4. Ia is clearly detectable at low levels on the major germ-line pro-B subset, both in wild-type adult mice and in gene-targeted mice (RAG2-/- and microMT), in which B cell development terminates before the pre-B cell stage. A small proportion of cells in the more mature pro-B cell subsets (Hardy Fractions B and C) also express Ia at this level. In contrast, Ia levels on the minor subset are barely above (or equal to) background. Surprisingly, the major germ-line pro-B cell subset found in adults is missing in fetal and neonatal animals. All of the germ-line pro-B in these immature animals express a phenotype (very low B220, no CD4, or Ia) similar to that of the minor pro-B cell subset in adult BM. Because B cell development in fetal/neonatal animals principally results in B-1 cells, these findings demonstrate that the B-1 development pathway does not include the major germ-line pro-B subset found in adult BM and hence identify a very early difference between the B-1 and -2 development pathways.

Abstract
Although CD45R/B220 is commonly used as a pan-B cell marker in the mouse, not all B220(+) cells belong to the B cell lineage. Here we report the characterization of a subpopulation of B220(+)CD19(-) cells in murine bone marrow, which failed to express markers that are present in early CD19(--) B cell precursors. Instead, these cells expressed low levels of MHC class II and CD11c, which are typically found on dendritic cells (DC). Moreover, these B220(+)CD19(-)CD11c(+) cells expressed Gr-1, indicating that they are related to the recently identified murine plasmacytoid DC or their progenitors. Therefore, we evaluated surface marker expression of the B220(+)CD19(-)CD11c(+) cells in lymphoid tissues of C57BL/6 mice, recombinase activating gene-1 deficient mice, lacking mature B and T lymphocytes, and mice with a targeted disruption of the Ig H chain mu membrane exon (mu MT), lacking mature B lymphocytes. When comparing bone marrow and spleen, we found that the surface profiles of B220(+)CD19(-)CD11c(+) cells were remarkably similar, indicating that they are in a comparable maturation or activation stage in the two lymphoid compartments. In addition, the almost complete absence of peripheral B220(+) B-lineage cells in mu MT mice allowed the anatomical localization of the B220(+)CD19(-)CD11c(+) cells to the red pulp and the T cell areas in the spleen. Taken together, our findings indicate that the mouse bone marrow contains a recirculating population of B220(+)CD19(-) CD11c(+) plasmacytoid DC, the development of which is largely independent of the presence of mature T and B cells.

Abstract
A promising and increasingly exploited property of hematopoietic stem cells is their ability to efflux the fluorescent dye Hoechst 33342. The Hoechst-negative cells are isolated by fluorescence-activated cell sorting as a so-called side "population" (SP) of bone marrow. This SP from bone marrow, as well as other tissues, is reported to contain immature stem cells with considerable plasticity. Some cell lines also efflux Hoechst and generate SP profiles. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and efflux inhibition studies with the lung carcinoma cell line, A549, implicated the ABCG2 transporter as a Hoechst efflux pump. Furthermore, it is shown that transient expression of ABCG2 generates a robust SP phenotype in human embryonic kidney (HEK293) cells. The results allow the conclusion that ABCG2 is a potent Hoechst efflux pump. Semiquantitative RT-PCR was used to characterize the developmental pattern of expression of ABCG2 in hematopoiesis. It is expressed at relatively high levels in putative hematopoietic stem cells (isolated as SP, 34+/38- or 34+/KDR+ populations) and drops sharply in committed progenitors (34+/38+, 34+/33+, or 34+/10+). Expression remains low in most maturing populations, but rises again in natural killer cells and erythroblasts. Comparison of messenger RNA (mRNA) levels for the 3 major multidrug-resistant efflux pumps, MDR1, MRP1, and ABCG2, in bone marrow SP cells reveals that ABCG2 is the predominant form in these cells. These data suggest that ABCG2 contributes significantly to the generation of the SP phenotype in hematopoietic stem cells. Furthermore, the sharp down-regulation of ABCG2 at the stage of lineage commitment suggests that this gene may play an important role in the unique physiology of the pluripotent stem cell.

Abstract
To study homeostasis of peripheral B lymphocytes in the absence of B cell influx from the bone marrow, we generated a mouse mutant in which the recombination-activating gene (RAG)-2 can be inducibly deleted. When RAG-2 was deleted at the age of 8-10 wk, splenic naive follicular B cells were gradually lost over a year of observation, with a half-life of approximately 4.5 mo. By contrast, the pool of marginal zone B cells in the spleen and of B-1 cells in the peritoneal cavity were kept at normal level. In lymph nodes, approximately 90% of the B cells were lost within 4 mo, and B cell numbers remained constant thereafter. Mice in which RAG-2 was deleted at birth maintained a small population of activated B cells with an increased proportion of marginal zone B cells. Additionally, an increase of the pool of IgM secreting cells and B-1a cells was observed.

Abstract
Natural killer (NK) cells play important roles in innate immunity by lysing tumor and virally infected cells and by producing cytokines including interferon-gamma. While NK cell progenitors have been described in the fetal thymus, NK cell generation from hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) in the bone marrow (BM) occurs throughout life, and in athymic mice and humans. Interleukin (IL)-15 promotes NK development in vitro and is essential for the generation of normal numbers of NK cells in vivo. By characterizing BM cells expressing IL-15 receptor components, we found marked heterogeneity within the IL-2 receptor beta chain(+) (CD122(+)) subset, which included cells uniquely committed to the NK lineage. These CD122(+) NK cell precursors (NKP) are negative for markers used to identify mature NK cells, including NK1.1, DX5 and members of Ly-49 family, and fail to demonstrate natural cytotoxicity against susceptible target cells. In vitro culture of NKP generates mature lytic NK1.1(+) cells at high frequencies, while they do not give rise to T, B, myeloid or erythroid cells under appropriate conditions. NKP lack transcripts associated with early B and T cell differentiation (pTalpha, lambda5 and CD3epsilon), but express a group of genes (IL-15Ralpha, Id2, GATA-3 and Ets-1) and the 2B4 marker, which may define NK cell commitment. We propose that NKP represent the earliest adult BM precursor uniquely restricted to the NK cell lineage.

Abstract
To maintain self-renewal and multilineage differentiation capacity, hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) proliferation requires both symmetric and asymmetric cell divisions. We have applied a time-lapse camera system and our single-cell culture to correlate early replication behavior with short- and long-term function. Using five-dimensional flow cytometry to purify subpopulations of fetal liver (FLV), fetal bone marrow (FBM), umbilical cord blood (UCB), adult bone marrow (ABM), and mobilized peripheral blood (MPB), we studied the relationship between colony efficiency (CE) growth pattern and ontogenic age. The highest CE was found among HSC candidates from FLV, FBM, and UCB and the lowest from ABM. Relating the divisional behavior with functional readouts, we demonstrated that although mitotic rate, colony efficiency, and percent of asymmetric divisions all decreased with ontogenic age, the fraction of cells undergoing asymmetric divisions was consistently at 45%. After 10 days of culture, 60.6 +/- 9.8% of the PKH bright cells gave rise to colonies (15.8 +/- 7.8% dispersed) compared to 15.9 +/- 11.1% of the PKH dim cells (2.5 +/- 2.5% dispersed). In addition, the much more primitive Myeloid-Lymphoid Initiating Cells (ML-IC) are predominantly found in the PKH-bright population. Thus, primitive function of individual candidate HSCs closely related to their divisional behavior.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Many methods have been developed specifically for identifying hematopoietic progenitor cells in murine bone marrow, but few methods allow rapid identification of multiple bone marrow populations. We describe a new, simple method for identifying simultaneously eight populations in murine bone marrow with two-color flow cytometry and phenotypically define these populations. METHODS Bone marrow was stained with anti-Ly-6C and anti-B220 (CD45R) in one fluorochrome and wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) in another fluorochrome. The eight populations identified in this way were defined further primarily by four-color flow cytometry. RESULTS Six of the eight populations were characterized phenotypically as containing erythroid, granulocytic, mast, early B, mature B, and stem cell populations. Two additional populations with phenotypic characteristics of partially differentiated precursor cells also were identified. One population was Ly-6C/B220+ and WGA-. It also expressed markers associated with early B, T, and/or dendritic cell differentiation. The second population was Ly-6C(hi)WGA(hi)Mac-1+ and was negative for numerous other lineage-specific and precursor markers. Its morphology suggested monocytic differentiative potential. CONCLUSIONS A two-color flow cytometric assay profiles six bone marrow populations with identifiable phenotypes and two additional unique, putative hematopoietic precursor populations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The identity of the cells in the human bone marrow that function as effective regulators of in vitro and possibly in vivo cellular immune responses is not well established. METHODS Cell subpopulations were isolated from cadaver donor vertebral-body bone marrow cells (DBMC) by using immuno-magnetic microbeads and were tested as inhibitors (modulators) in cell-mediated lympholysis (CML) and mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR) responses of normal peripheral blood lymphocytes stimulated with irradiated cadaver donor spleen cells. RESULTS Compared with spleen cells as controls, un-irradiated T-cell depleted DBMC inhibited both the MLR and CML responses of allogeneic responder cells in a dose dependent manner (as in our previous reports). The inhibition was also mediated by a number of purified subpopulations including pluripotent CD34+ stem cells, and their CD34 negative early progeny of both lymphoid and myeloid lineages. These included DBMC enriched for non-T-cell lymphoid precursors (NT-LP/DBMC; i.e., DBMC depleted of CD3, CD15, and glycophorin-A positive cells) and DBMC positively selected for CD38+, CD2+, CD5+, and CD1+ lymphoid cells (all were depleted of CD3+ cells) as well as CD33+ (but CD15 negative) myeloid precursors. However, positively selected CD19+ B-cells and CD15+ myeloid cells did not inhibit the MLR and CML responses. The NT-LP/DBMC that had been repeatedly stimulated with irradiated allogeneic peripheral blood lymphocytes caused the strongest inhibition of the MLR and CML responses of the same allogeneic cells with 200 times fewer modulator cells needed than uncultured DBMC (P<0.001). Flow cytometric analysis revealed that majority of cells in these cell lines had become CD3+ TcR-alphabeta+ CD4+ and CD28+ cells. CONCLUSION A variety of less differentiated cells of various lineages residing in the human bone marrow are immunoregulatory in vitro. Among them, there is at least one subset that can undergo differentiation in vitro into regulatory T cells that can be maintained in long-term cultures.

Abstract
Some characteristics of rapidly mobilized stem cells as a possible distinct subset of the murine bone marrow stem cell population are overviewed. Some of the agents that rapidly mobilize stem cells are toxic and possibly act through disrupting anchorage to the microenvironment. The mobilization occurring days after cytostatics and/or colony-stimulating factors (CSF), however, is a consequence of increased production or differentiation. While stem cells (colony-forming units-spleen; CFU-S) circulating normally in blood have low self-renewal capacity (SRC), SRC of rapidly mobilized CFU-S is closer to that of bone marrow stem cells and is similar to that of the late mobilized stem cells. The survival rate of mice after transplantation of rapidly mobilized stem cells did not differ from that of bone marrow stem cells. One year after transplantation of rapidly mobilized stem cells, the SRC value of bone marrow did not differ from those transplanted with bone marrow cells. Replacement of a rapidly mobilizable stem cell pool requires 48 h under physiological conditions and a longer time after damage to hemopoiesis (irradiation, hydroxyurea injection). Possible physiological mechanisms in the anchorage of stem cells are discussed.

Abstract
We performed an immunohistological study using biopsy samples of bone marrow obtained from patients, ranging in age from a newborn baby to 100 years old. Those patients suffering from hematological diseases or diseases that would be capable of affecting hematopoiesis were not included in the present study. The cellularity of the bone marrow did not change significantly with age during the first and the eighth decades, while the oldest group, ranging in age from 80 to 100, revealed significantly low cellularity. Proliferative activity assessed by Ki-67-positive cells was high in the middle-aged group and declined slightly in the elderly group. It was of interest to note that the percentage of apoptosis was relatively low in the young and middle-aged group, but significantly increased in the elderly group. The percentage of T cells did not change greatly between the first and the fifth decades, peaked at the sixth decade and gradually decreased thereafter. The percentage of B cells was about 10% at the first decade, decreased thereafter until the third decade, then increased again showing a peak at the sixth decade, and decreased thereafter. The percentage of CD68-positive cells was high in young patients, and decreased in the adult and elderly patients. The data in the present study suggest that hypocellularity in the bone marrow of elderly people could be ascribed partly to the increase of apoptosis, and might possibly be related to a decrease in the number of lymphocytes and macrophages, which would constitute part of the bone marrow microenvironment supporting hematopoiesis.
