freshly isolated from human fetal liver

The cell-surface expression and the functional status of the CD95/Fas
antigen on primitive hematopoietic progenitors (PHPs) freshly isolated from
human fetal liver (FL) were studied. PHPs were phenotypically defined as
CD34++ CD38 -/+ cells. The most immature subfractions of PHPs, CD34++CD38-
and CD34+2CD38+ FL cells, expressed CD95, whereas the more mature
CD34++CD38++ and CD34+CD38++2 FL cells displayed low CD95 expression.
Combinations of cytokines, such as kit ligand (KL) + interleukin-3 or KL +
granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) upregulated the
expression of CD95 on PHPs upon in vitro culture. Tumor necrosis
factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) further increased
the CD95 expression induced by KL+GM-CSF. The hematopoietic potential of
sorted CD34++lineage (lin)- CD95+ versus CD34++ lin-CD95-FL cells was
compared by colony-forming unit-culture (CFU-C) assays performed in
serum-deprived medium. Lin+ cells were composed of erythrocytes, monocytes,
T cells, B cells, and natural killer cells. Our results indicated that both
CD95- and CD95+ subsets contained pluripotent progenitors, generating
myeloid and erythroid progenitors. The functional status of CD95 and the
effects of TNF-alpha and IFN-gamma, cytokines known to induce CD95-mediated
apoptosis, were analyzed by incubation of PHPs in the presence of anti-CD95
monoclonal antibodies (MoAbs). The effect of anti-CD95 MoAbs was measured
by viable cell counting, flow cytometry, and CFU-C assays. A decrease of
CFU-C numbers was observed in the presence of anti-CD95 MoAbs and TNF-
alpha and/or IFN-gamma. However, whereas growth factor deprivation induced
apoptosis of PHPs, cross-linking of CD95 did not lead to apoptosis of PHPs
measured by flow cytometry and viable cell counting. The correlation of
increased intracytoplasmic levels of bcl-2 with high levels of cell-surface
CD34 and the presence of CD95 on fresh FL cells suggests that bcl-2 may be
involved in protecting against CD95-mediated apoptosis of FL PHPs.
