    Notes: Résumé La localisation de la phosphatase-acide dans la levureCryptococcus neoformans est étudiée ici par des méthodes cytochimiques au niveau ultrastructural. On a trouvé que l'enzyme se concentrait exclusivement dans les vacuoles, ce qui s'accorde avec les résultats que d'autres auteurs ont obtenus sur la localisation de l'enzyme dans les cellules végétales.

    Notes: Marrow stroma has been shown to have osteogenic potential. Here we report the characterization of a unique stromal cell line derived from mouse bone marrow (MBA-15), which expresses osteoblastic phenotype in vitro and forms bone in vivo. More than 70% of cells in culture were histochemically positive for alkaline phosphatase. The enzyme levels were enhanced threefold when cultures were treated with dexamethasone. Gel electrophoresis of [3H]-proline-labeled cultures showed that MBA-15 cells produced only type I collagen. These cells were responsive to PTH, as indicated by a 50-fold increase in intracellular cAMP. Prostaglandin E2, but not calcitonin, stimulated cAMP up to 70-fold. When cultures were grown to confluence and fed daily with ascorbic acid and β-glycerophosphate, the cells formed a Von Kossa positive, thick extracellular matrix, shown to contain hydroxyapatite crystals. MBA-15 cells produced mineralized bone when implanted in diffusion chambers. These results indicate that the MBA-15 cell line possesses osteoblastic features in vitro and osteogenic capacity in vivo.

    Description: Mitogen-stimulated murine spleen cells produce humoral substances capable of supporting murine hematopoiesis and pluripotent stem cell proliferation in vitro. Thus, we evaluated conditioned media generated by human spleen cells (SCM) in the presence or absence of mitogens for factors stimulatory for human pluripotent (CFU-GEMM), erythroid (BFU- E), and myeloid (CFU-GM) precursors. Two and one half percent to 10% SCM stimulated proliferation of all three types of precursor cells from nonadherent buoyant human marrow target cells. Mitogen-stimulated SCM augmented CFU-GM (175% to 225%), whereas CFU-GEMM and BFU-E growth was essentially unchanged. Cell separation procedures used to determine which cells provided these microenvironmental stimuli indicated that nonadherent mononuclear spleen cells provided the bulk of the CSF-GM, whereas adherent cells (95% nonspecific esterase + monocyte- macrophages) and nonadherent cells provided similar proportions of CSF- mix and erythroid burst-promoting activity (BPA). The nonadherent cells generating high levels of CSF-mix, BPA, and CSF-GM were predominantly Leu-1-negative, ie, non-T, cells. In the presence or absence of mitogens, SCM was a more potent source (1.3- to 3.8-fold) than peripheral leukocyte CM of the growth factors for the three progenitor cell types. Specific in situ cytochemical stains for analyzing morphology of myeloid colonies demonstrated that SCM stimulated the proliferation of the same types and proportions of colonies as human placental CM, suggesting that these CMs may contain similar CSF-GMs. These data show the contribution of spleen cell subsets to the generation of hematopoietic growth factors and the responsiveness of these cells to various mitogenic stimuli.

    Description: We studied the effect of hematopoietic growth factors (granulocyte- macrophage colony-stimulating factor [GM-CSF], granulocyte [G]-CSF, interleukin (IL)-1, IL-3, IL-5, IL-6, and macrophage [M]-CSF) on differentiation and functional activity of human eosinophilic HL-60 cells (Eos-HL-60) and compared them with effects on parental HL-60 promyelocytic leukemia cells. Purified biosynthetic GM-CSF and IL-5 enhanced cell proliferation and induced eosinophilic differentiation in the eosinophilic subline in both liquid and agar cultures. IL-3 and IL- 6 stimulated cell proliferation but had no effect on cell differentiation, whereas IL-1 and G-CSF affected neither differentiation nor proliferation of Eos-HL-60 cells under the conditions tested. GM-CSF-, IL-3-, and IL-5-treated Eos-HL-60 cells showed increased O2- production in response to phorbol esters (PMA), enhanced phagocytosis of Candida albicans, and release of the enzymes arylsulfatase, beta-glucuronidase and eosinophil peroxidase (EPO). The degranulation of eosinophils induced by GM-CSF, IL-5, and IL-3 may have relevance to the potential clinical toxicity of these hematopoietins, which also stimulate eosinophilopoiesis. G-CSF had no effect on enzyme release, oxidative metabolism, or phagocytic capacity of Eos-HL-60 cells. IL-5 did not affect proliferation, differentiation, or enzyme release in promyelocytic HL-60 cells. These results indicate the specificity of IL-5 for the eosinophil lineage, confirm the effects of GM-CSF and IL-3 on eosinophilopoiesis and mature eosinophil function in a model system, and indicate the absence of G-CSF and IL-1 stimulation of eosinophils. The Eos-HL-60 line is a useful model for studying human eosinophil responses to cytokines.

    Description: The antileukemic activity of murine recombinant granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (rGM-CSF) and a combination of rGM-CSF and recombinant interleukin-3 (rIL-3) was examined by using a murine model of spontaneous B-cell leukemia (BCL1) in BALB/c mice. All untreated mice inoculated with 2 x 10(2) BCL1 cells developed leukemia within 4 weeks, with extreme lymphocytosis and a massive increase in both spleen weight and cell number while the number of myeloid progenitors (CFU-C) per spleen was decreased. In contrast, rGM-CSF-or rGM-CSF- and rIL-3- treated recipients did not show any evidence of leukemia or splenomegaly at 4 weeks and showed a significant increase in CFU-C per spleen. Hematologic parameters in the peripheral blood of untreated mice showed anemia and thrombocytopenia. Significant elevations in these parameters were recorded in mice treated with either protocol of CSF. Treatment of recipient mice with either rGM-CSF or rGM-CSF and rIL- 3 prolonged their median survival from 6 weeks in untreated controls (range, 5 to 9 weeks) up to the time they were killed at 105 days. Adoptive transfer of spleen cells obtained from mice treated with rGM- CSF, mice treated with a combination of rGM-CSF and rIL-3, and untreated controls, into normal secondary recipients indicated improved survival in recipients inoculated with rGM-CSF. These data indicate that CSFs may inhibit in vivo expansion of leukemic cells of lymphoid origin.

    Description: We analyzed the effect of ciprofloxacin, fleroxacin, and ceftazidime on production of colony-stimulating factors (CSF) by cultured murine spleen cells in the presence of pokeweed mitogen (PWM). Ciprofloxacin at concentrations of 5 to 10 micrograms/mL in concert with PWM stimulated CSF production by cultured spleen cells. A 3.5-fold increase in the number of CFU-C was observed in the presence of ciprofloxacin- PWM spleen conditioned medium (SCM) as compared with control cultures exposed to PWM-SCM only. Antimurine GM-CSF and antimurine interleukin-3 (IL-3) antibodies inhibited colony formation stimulated by PWM-SCM or ciprofloxacin-PWM-SCM. Fleroxacin and ceftazidime at concentrations of 1 to 100 micrograms/mL and ciprofloxacin at high concentration (greater than 10 micrograms/mL) either did not affect CSF production by spleen cells or had an inhibitory effect. In vivo treatment of sublethally irradiated (650 rad) mice with ciprofloxacin (15 mg/kg per dose three times daily for 5 days) resulted in an increased number of myeloid progenitors in the spleen and bone marrow (BM) of treated mice. In contrast, treatment with ceftazidime did not affect progenitor cell numbers. On days 4 and 8 postirradiation ciprofloxacin-treated mice had a 2.3- and 3.8-fold increase, respectively, in the number of CFU-C in the BM. The number of CFU-C in the spleen did not increase on day 4 postirradiation, but on day 8, the number increased 1.7-fold. On day 4 postirradiation, sublethally irradiated mice treated with ciprofloxacin had a higher WBC count, RBC count, and hemoglobin level as compared with ceftazidime- and saline-treated mice. Twenty-four days postirradiation, 45% of saline-treated mice (20 of 44), and 35% of ceftazidime-treated mice (8 of 23) died, as compared with 13% (5 of 38) of ciprofloxacin-treated mice (P less than .05). These studies indicate that ciprofloxacin may have an immune-enhancing effect on the hematopoietic system in neutropenic mice.
