We have previously identified a cellular population in murine bone
marrow that facilitates engraftment of highly purified hematopoietic
stem cells (HSC) across major histocompatibility complex (MHC) barriers
without causing graft-versus-host disease. Here we investigated the
effect of flt3 ligand (FL) and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor
(G-CSF) on the mobilization of facilitating cells (FC) and HSC into
peripheral blood (PB). Mice were injected with FL alone (day 1 to 10),
G-CSF alone (day 4 to 10), or both in combination. The number of FC
(CD8+/ TCR / TCR )
and HSC
(lineage /Sca-1+/c-kit+) was
assessed daily by flow cytometry. Lethally irradiated allogeneic mice
were reconstituted with PB mononuclear cells (PBMC). FL and G-CSF
showed a highly significant synergy on the mobilization of FC and HSC.
The peak efficiency for mobilization of FC (21-fold increase) and HSC
(200-fold increase) was reached on day 10. Our data further suggest
that the proliferation of FC and HSC induced by FL in addition to the
mobilizing effect mediated by G-CSF might be responsible for the
observed synergy of both growth factors. Finally, the engraftment
potential of PBMC mobilized with FL and G-CSF or FL alone was superior
to PBMC obtained from animals treated with G-CSF alone. Experiments
comparing the engraftment potential of day 7 and day 10 mobilized PBMC
indicate that day 10, during which both FC and HSC reached their
maximum, might be the ideal time point for the collection of both
populations. © 1998 by The American Society of Hematology.
