Project description:Adult stem cell therapy via intramyocardial injection of autologous CD34+ stem cells has been shown to improve exercise capacity and reduce angina frequency and mortality in patients with refractory angina (RA). However, the cost of such therapy is a limitation to its adoption in clinical practice. Our goal was to determine whether the less costly, less invasive, and widely accessible, FDA-approved alternative treatment for RA patients, known as enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP), mobilizes endogenous CD34+ stem cells and whether such mobilization is associated with the clinical benefits seen with intramyocardial injection. We monitored changes in circulating levels of CD34+/CD133+ and CD34+/KDR+ cells in RA patients undergoing EECP therapy and in a comparator cohort of RA patients undergoing an exercise regimen known as cardiac rehabilitation. Changes in exercise capacity in both cohorts were monitored by measuring treadmill times (TT), double product (DP) scores, and Canadian Cardiovascular Society (CCS) angina scores between pre- and post-treatment treadmill stress tests. Circulating levels of CD34+/CD133+ cells increased in patients undergoing EECP and were significant (β = -2.38, p = 0.012) predictors of improved exercise capacity in these patients. CD34+/CD133+ cells isolated from RA patients could differentiate into endothelial cells, and their numbers increased during EECP therapy. Our results support the hypothesis that mobilized CD34+/CD133+ cells repair vascular damage and increase collateral circulation in RA patients. They further support clinical interventions that can mobilize adult CD34+ stem cells as therapy for patients with RA and other vascular diseases.

Project description:Septic shock is associated with multiple injuries to organs and tissues. These events may induce the regenerative response of adult stem cells. However, little is known about how endogenous stem cells are modulated by sepsis. This study analyzed the circulation of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) and very small embryonic-like stem cells (VSELs) in the peripheral blood of patients with septic shock. Thirty-three patients with septic shock and twenty-two healthy control subjects were enrolled in this prospective observational study. Blood samples were collected on the first, third and seventh days of septic shock. Populations of stem cells were analyzed by flow cytometry. Chemotactic mediators were analyzed by HPLC and ELISA. Populations of early HSCs (Lin-CD133+CD45+ and CD34+CD38-) were mobilized to the peripheral blood after an initial decrease. Mobilized HSCs showed significantly increased expression of Ki-67, a marker of cell proliferation. Circulating EPCs and VSELs were mobilized to the blood circulation upon the first day of sepsis. Patients with a greater number of Lin-CD133+CD45+ HSCs and Lin-CD34+CD45- VSELs had a significantly lower probability of 60-day survival. The concentration of CXCL12 was elevated in the blood of septic patients, while the concentration of sphingosine-1-phosphate was significantly decreased. As an emergency early response to sepsis, VSELs and EPCs were mobilized to the peripheral blood, while the HSCs showed delayed mobilization. Differential mobilization of stem cell subsets reflected changes in the concentration of chemoattractants in the blood. The relationship between the probability of death and a large number of HSCs and VSELs in septic shock patients can be used as a novel prognostic marker and may provide new therapeutic approaches.

Project description:Gene therapy for sickle cell disease is limited by the yield of hematopoietic progenitor cells that can be harvested for transduction or gene editing. We therefore performed a phase I dose-escalation study of the hematopoietic progenitor cell mobilizing agent plerixafor to evaluate the efficacy and safety of standard dosing on peripheral blood CD34+ cell mobilization. Of 15 patients enrolled to date, only one was chronically transfused and ten were on hydroxyurea. Of eight patients who achieved a CD34+ cell concentration >30 cells/μL, six were on hydroxyurea. There was no clear dose response to increasing plerixafor dosage. There was a low rate of serious adverse events; two patients developed vaso-occlusive crises, at the doses of 80 μg/kg and 240 μg/kg. Hydroxyurea may have contributed to the limited CD34+ mobilization by affecting baseline peripheral blood CD34 counts, which correlated strongly with peak peripheral blood CD34 counts. Plerixafor administration did not induce significant increases in the fraction of activated neutrophils, monocytes, or platelets. However, increased neutrophils positive for activated β2 integrin and Mac-1 were associated with serious adverse events. In summary, plerixafor was well tolerated but did not achieve consistent CD34+ cell mobilization in this cohort of patients, most of whom were being actively treated with hydroxyurea and only one was chronically transfused. The study will continue with escalation of the dose of plerixafor and modification of hydroxyurea administration. Clinicaltrials.gov identifier: NCT02193191.

Project description:BackgroundThe control of endothelial progenitor cells (CD133+/CD34+ EPCs) migrating from bone marrow to peripheral blood is not completely understood. Emerging evidence suggests that stromal cell-derived factor-1α (SDF-1α) mediates egression of EPCs from bone marrow, while the hypoxia inducible factor (HIF) transcriptional system regulates SDF-1α expression. Our study aimed to investigate the time course of circulating CD133+/CD34+ EPCs and its correlation with the expression of HIF-1α protein and SDF-1α in postoperative laparoscopic abdominal septic patients.MethodsPostoperative patients were divided in control (C group) and septic group (S group) operated immediately after the diagnosis of sepsis/septic shock. Blood samples were collected at baseline (0), 1, 3 and 7 postoperative days for CD133+/CD34+ EPCs count expressing or not the HIF-1α and SDF-1α analysis.ResultsThirty-two patients in S group and 39 in C group were analyzed. In C group CD133+/CD34+ EPCs count remained stable throughout the study period, increasing on day 7 (173 [0-421] /μl vs baseline: P = 0.04; vs day 1: P = 0.002). In S group CD133+/CD34+ EPCs count levels were higher on day 3 (vs day 1: P = 0.006 and day 7: P = 0.026). HIF-1α expressing CD133+/CD34+ EPCs count decreased on day 1 as compared with the other days in C group (day 0 vs 1: P = 0.003, days 3 and 7 vs 1: P = 0.008), while it was 321 [0-1418] /μl on day 3 (vs day 1; P = 0.004), and 400 [0-587] /μl on day 7 in S group. SDF-1α levels were higher not only on baseline but also on postoperative day 1 in S vs C group (219 [124-337] pg/ml vs 35 [27-325] pg/ml, respectively; P = 0.01).ConclusionOur results indicate that sepsis in abdominal laparoscopic patients might constitute an additional trigger of the EPCs mobilization as compared with non-septic surgical patients. A larger mobilization of CD133+/CD34+ EPCs, preceded by enhanced plasmatic SDF-1α, occurs in septic surgical patients regardless of HIF-1α expression therein.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov no.

Project description:Studying gene expression at different hematopoietic stages provides insights for understanding the genetic basis of hematopoiesis. We analyzed gene expression in human CD34(+) hematopoietic cells that represent the stem-progenitor population (CD34(+) cells). We collected >459,000 transcript signatures from CD34(+) cells, including the de novo-generated 3' ESTs and the existing sequences of full-length cDNAs, ESTs, and serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE) tags, and performed an extensive annotation on this large set of CD34(+) transcript sequences. We determined the genes expressed in CD34(+) cells, verified the known genes and identified the new genes of different functional categories involved in hematopoiesis, dissected the alternative gene expression including alternative transcription initiation, splicing, and adenylation, identified the antisense and noncoding transcripts, determined the CD34(+) cell-specific gene expression signature, and developed the CD34(+) cell-transcription map in the human genome. Our study provides a current view on gene expression in human CD34(+) cells and reveals that early hematopoiesis is an orchestrated process with the involvement of over half of the human genes distributed in various functions. The data generated from our study provide a comprehensive and uniform resource for studying hematopoiesis and stem cell biology.

Project description:CD34 is a cell surface antigen expressed in numerous stem/progenitor cells including hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs), which are known to be rich sources of EPCs. Therefore, regenerative therapy using CD34+ cells has attracted interest for application in patients with various vascular, ischemic, and inflammatory diseases. CD34+ cells have recently been reported to improve therapeutic angiogenesis in a variety of diseases. Mechanistically, CD34+ cells are involved in both direct incorporation into the expanding vasculature and paracrine activity through angiogenesis, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, and anti-apoptosis/fibrosis roles, which support the developing microvasculature. Preclinical, pilot, and clinical trials have well documented a track record of safety, practicality, and validity of CD34+ cell therapy in various diseases. However, the clinical application of CD34+ cell therapy has triggered scientific debates and controversies in last decade. This review covers all preexisting scientific literature and prepares an overview of the comprehensive biology of CD34+ cells as well as the preclinical/clinical details of CD34+ cell therapy for regenerative medicine.

Project description:Broader clinical application of umbilical cord blood (UCB), as a source of hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs), is limited by low CD34+ and T-cell numbers, contributing to slow lymphohematopoietic recovery, infection, and relapse. Studies have evaluated the safety, feasibility, and expedited neutrophil recovery associated with the transplantation of CD34+ HSPCs from ex vivo expansion cultures using the aryl hydrocarbon receptor antagonist StemRegenin-1 (SR1). In a phase 1/2 study of 17 patients who received combined SR1-expanded and unexpanded UCB units, a considerable advantage for enhancing T-cell chimerism was not observed. We previously showed that progenitor T (proT) cells generated in vitro from HSPCs accelerated T-cell reconstitution and restored immunity after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). To expedite immune recovery, we hypothesized that SR1-expanded HSPCs together with proT cells could overcome the known T-cell immune deficiency that occurs post-HSCT. Here, we show that SR1-expanded UCB can induce >250-fold expansion of CD34+ HSPCs, which can generate large numbers of proT cells upon in vitro differentiation. When compared with nonexpanded naive proT cells, SR1 proT cells also showed effective thymus-seeding and peripheral T-cell functional capabilities in vivo despite having an altered phenotype. In a competitive transfer approach, both naive and SR1 proT cells showed comparable thymus-engrafting capacities. Single-cell RNA sequencing of peripheral CD3+ T cells from mice injected with either naive or SR1 proT cells revealed functional subsets of T cells with polyclonal T-cell receptor repertoires. Our findings support the use of SR1-expanded UCB grafts combined with proT-cell generation for decreasing T-cell immunodeficiency post-HSCT.

Project description:AimTo evaluate quantitatively and qualitatively the different CD34(+) cell subsets after priming by chemotherapy granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (± G-CSF) in patients with acute myeloid leukemia.MethodsPeripheral blood and bone marrow samples were harvested in 8 acute myeloid leukemia patients during and after induction chemotherapy. The CD34/CD38 cell profile was analyzed by multi-parameter flow cytometry. Adhesion profile was made using CXC chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) (CD184), VLA-4 (CD49d/CD29) and CD47.ResultsChemotherapy ± G-CSF mobilized immature cells (CD34(+)CD38(-) population), while the more mature cells (CD34(+)CD38(low) and CD34(+)CD38(+) populations) decreased progressively after treatment. Circulating CD34(+) cells tended to be more sensitive to chemotherapy after priming with G-CSF. CD34(+) cell mobilization was correlated with a gradual increase in CXCR4 and CD47 expression, suggesting a role in cell protection and the capacity of homing back to the marrow.ConclusionChemotherapy ± G-CSF mobilizes into the circulation CD34(+) bone marrow cells, of which, the immature CD34(+)CD38(-) cell population. Further manipulations of these interactions may be a means with which to control the trafficking of leukemia stem cells to improve patients' outcomes.

Project description:BackgroundEndothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) were shown to have angiogenic potential contributing to neovascularization. However, a clear definition of mouse EPCs by cell surface markers still remains elusive. We hypothesized that CD34 could be used for identification and isolation of functional EPCs from mouse bone marrow.Methodology/principal findingsCD34(+) cells, c-Kit(+)/Sca-1(+)/Lin(-) (KSL) cells, c-Kit(+)/Lin(-) (KL) cells and Sca-1(+)/Lin(-) (SL) cells were isolated from mouse bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMNCs) using fluorescent activated cell sorting. EPC colony forming capacity and differentiation capacity into endothelial lineage were examined in the cells. Although CD34(+) cells showed the lowest EPC colony forming activity, CD34(+) cells exhibited under endothelial culture conditions a more adherent phenotype compared with the others, demonstrating the highest mRNA expression levels of endothelial markers vWF, VE-cadherin, and Flk-1. Furthermore, a dramatic increase in immediate recruitment of cells to the myocardium following myocardial infarction and systemic cell injection was observed for CD34(+) cells comparing with others, which could be explained by the highest mRNA expression levels of key homing-related molecules Integrin ?2 and CXCR4 in CD34(+) cells. Cell retention and incorporation into the vasculature of the ischemic myocardium was also markedly increased in the CD34(+) cell-injected group, giving a possible explanation for significant reduction in fibrosis area, significant increase in neovascularization and the best cardiac functional recovery in this group in comparison with the others.ConclusionThese findings suggest that mouse CD34(+) cells may represent a functional EPC population in bone marrow, which could benefit the investigation of therapeutic EPC biology.

Project description:High-dose chemotherapy and autologous transplantation of hematopoietic cells is a crucial treatment option for hematologic malignancy patients. Current mobilization regimes often do not provide adequate numbers of CD34(+) cells. The chemokine receptor CXCR4 and ligand SDF-1 are integrally involved in homing and mobilization of hematopoietic progenitor cells. Disruption of the CXCR4/SDF-1 axis by the CXCR4 antagonist, plerixafor, has been demonstrated in Phase II and Phase III trials to improve mobilization when used in conjunction with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF). This approach is safe with few adverse events and produces significantly greater numbers of CD34(+) cells when compared to G-CSF alone. New plerixafor initiatives include use in volunteer donors for allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant and in other disease targets.
