Effects of interleukin-3 and c-kit ligand on the survival of various
classes of human hematopoietic progenitor cells

Indianapolis.
We examined the effects of interleukin-3 (IL-3) and c-kit ligand (KL) on
the survival of differentiated hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPC), the
burst-forming unit-erythroid (BFU-E); colony-forming unit- granulocyte,
erythroid, monocyte, megakaryocyte (CFU-GEMM); and CFU-
granulocyte-monocyte (CFU-GM) and more primitive hematopoietic cells that
give rise to these progenitor cells (pre-colony-forming cells [pre- CFC]).
CD34+ HLA-DR+ cells, which are highly enriched for committed HPC, and CD34+
HLA-DR- c-kit+ cells, which contain the most primitive assayable
hematopoietic cells, including long-term bone marrow culture- initiating
cells, high proliferative potential-CFC, the CFU-blast, and the
BFU-megakaryocyte, were suspended in serum-free medium in the presence or
absence of IL-3 or KL. CD34+ HLA-DR+ cells incubated under serum-free
conditions or in the presence of KL for 96 hours lost greater than 90% of
assayable unilineage or multilineage HPC, whereas those cells incubated in
the presence of IL-3 retained 40% of the number of HPC present at time 0.
The effect of IL-3 on HPC survival was most pronounced on the BFU-E and
CFU-GEMM present within CD34+ HLA-DR+ cells. Addition of IL-3, but not of
KL, to CD34+ HLA-DR+ cells delayed the appearance of morphologic changes
and DNA fragmentation patterns associated with cell death occurring by
apoptosis. CD34+ HLA-DR-c-kit+ cells were incubated under similar
serum-free conditions in the presence or absence of IL-3 or KL, and the
frequency of pre-CFC was determined by limiting dilution analysis. The
frequency of pre-CFC in cells incubated for 48 hours in the absence of
serum was similar to that of cells incubated in the presence of IL-3 and
approximately doubled when CD34+ HLA-DR- c-kit+ cells were incubated in the
presence of KL. Addition of KL to serum-free suspension cultures of CD34+
HLA-DR- c-kit+ cells delayed the appearance of DNA fragmentation patterns
associated with apoptosis to a greater extent than did the addition of
IL-3. These studies suggests that IL-3, but not KL, promotes HPC survival,
whereas KL plays a greater role than IL-3 in sustaining more primitive HPC,
such as pre-CFC. The effects of both cytokines in mediating HPC and
primitive hematopoietic cell survival appear to be related, in part, to
their ability to suppress apoptosis.
