Cycle initiation and colony formation in culture by murine marrow cells
with long-term reconstituting potential in vivo

This investigation was directed at separating long-term reconstituting
(LTR) stem cells in normal murine marrow from hematopoietic precursors
detectable in short-term assays in vitro and in vivo, and then at
determining whether purified LTR cells could themselves form colonies in
culture. To do so, it was first necessary to identify culture conditions
that would induce their growth while preserving their long- term
reconstituting capacity. Marrow was cultured with various cytokines in
liquid suspension for 4 days, after which the surviving LTR activity was
quantitated in a competitive in vivo assay. Activity was preserved near
input levels with combined murine c-kit ligand (KL), interleukin-1 (IL-1),
IL-6, and IL-11. When the cultures also included tritiated or unlabeled
thymidine, LTR potential was eliminated, indicating that essentially all
LTR cells were induced into cell cycle with these cytokines. To purify
them, marrow was sorted on the basis of Ly6A expression and Rhodamine 123
retention. The Ly6AhiRh123ls fraction contained 85% of total recovered LTR
activity but only 1% of the recovered cells measured by multilineage colony
formation in spleens or in vitro. This fraction was cultured in methyl
cellulose with KL, IL-1, IL-6, and IL-11 for 4 to 6 days, after which
colonies were isolated and injected into mice. High levels of permanent
reconstitution were achievable in sublethally irradiated W41/W41 mice after
the injection of a single reconstituting unit, and limiting dilution
analysis estimated the frequency of multilineage LTR at 1 in 11,200
unpurified adult marrow cells. In either lethally irradiated normal or
sublethally irradiated W41/W41 mice, 1-year lymphomyeloid reconstitutions
were obtained from 1 in 65 to 84 colonies of 2 to 16 dispersed cells, but
not from larger colonies or those with clumped cells. The results establish
that resting marrow LTR cells can be separated from almost all of the more
advanced clonogenic cells that are still pluripotential, can be induced to
cycle in culture by defined cytokines with preservation of their
reconstituting potential, and can be manipulated and assayed efficiently at
single-cell and colony levels.
