Description

【0001】
【産業上の利用分野】
本発明は、特定の表現型及び自己増殖能を有し、場合によってはさらに自己分化能をも有するヒト白血病細胞株に関する。本細胞株は造血系に関与する因子、すなわち、造血幹細胞の自己複製、巨核球の増殖や分化、また血小板の産生に関与する因子のアッセイに有用である。これらの因子が取得できれば、骨髄移植やがんの化学療法や放射線療法後の血小板減少などに広く応用されうる。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
造血幹細胞の自己複製因子については、現在までに確立されたアッセイ法はない。しかし、マウスでは脾コロニー形成細胞(CFU−S)測定法や芽球コロニー形成細胞培養法(Blast colony アッセイ)などが応用されている。ヒトでは、骨髄あるいは末梢血単核細胞中のCD34陽性細胞が単離され、コロニー法あるいは液体培養法に供されている。
【0003】
巨核球の増殖や分化、または血小板産生に関与する因子は、骨髄巨核球前駆細胞由来のコロニー(CFU−Meg)形成法やアセチルコリンエテラーゼ(Ach E)活性測定法あるいはプロイディー(DNA量)の測定等によりアッセイされている。また、骨髄中の巨核球の単離法が進歩したため、巨核球を直接用いることも可能となった。
【0004】
ヒト由来の因子は種特異性の点からできる限りヒトの系でアッセイすることが望ましい。しかし、ヒトの骨髄細胞は一般的に入手が困難であるし、しかもCD34陽性細胞や巨核球は頻度が低く、それぞれ骨髄単核細胞の約1%および0.05%〜0.5%でしかない。さらに、巨核球は物理的刺激に弱く壊れやすい。また、CFU−Megコロニー形成法は、時間がかかり(ヒトでは約2週間)、しかも均一な結果を得ることが困難である。
【0005】
そこで、ヒト由来の因子の探索に簡便で常時実施可能なアッセイ系としてヒト株化細胞を利用することが試みられている。しかし、培養中に細胞自身の性質に変化がみられ、種々の因子に対する反応性が低下したり、さらには反応性にバラツキが生じ、均一なアッセイ結果を得られない場合も多い。そのため、本来の性質を保持しているうちに大量の細胞を凍結保存しておき、性質や反応性に変化が生じたら、新たな細胞を融解して使用する等の対策がなされている。
【0006】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明者は、上記の様な実情に鑑み、簡便で常時実施可能な、かつ信頼しうる均一な結果が得られるヒト由来の因子の探索アッセイ系を取得すべく、細胞の性質や因子に対する反応性の変化の原因を鋭意研究した結果、培養中に一部の細胞が自発的に分化し、不均一な性質の細胞集団となることが原因の1つであることを解明した。そして、細胞表面に存在している分化抗原(分化に伴い消長する分子)の有無に着目して細胞をクローニングすることにより、目的のアッセイに有用な細胞株を取得し、本発明の完成に至った。
【0007】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明は、特定の表現型を示し自己増殖能を有し、場合によってはさらに自己分化能も有するヒト白血病細胞株に関する。すなわち、本発明は、骨髄性白血病細胞由来の細胞であって、CD34陽性及びGPIIb/III a陰性の表現型を示す細胞株、CD34陽性及びGPIIb/III a陽性の表現型を示す細胞株、並びにCD34陰性及びGPIIb/III a陽性の表現型を示す細胞株に関する。
【0008】
自己増殖能を有するヒト白血病細胞とは、特定の表現型を保持したまま増殖し、長期間安定である細胞であり、さらに自己分化能をも有する細胞とは一定期間の培養により増殖しつつも自己分化し表現型が変化する細胞を意味する。例えば骨髄性白血病細胞、好ましくは急性巨核球性白血病細胞、慢性骨髄性白血病細胞等に由来する細胞があげられる。
【0009】
特定の表現型を示し自己増殖能を有し、場合によってはさらに自己分化能も有するヒト白血病細胞株は、骨髄性白血病細胞、好ましくは急性巨核球性白血病細胞、例えばCMK細胞、UT−7細胞、M−07細胞等、または慢性骨髄性白血病細胞、例えばKU812細胞(理化学研究所細胞銀行No.RCB495)等より取得できる。
【0010】
本発明のヒト白血病細胞株は、特定の表現型を保持したまま長期間培養でき、しかも造血幹細胞や巨核球系細胞に反応する種々の因子(サイトカイン)に反応することによって、各種造血系に関与する因子、すなわち、造血幹細胞の自己複製、巨核球の増殖や分化、また血小板の産生に関与する因子のアッセイに有用である。
【0011】
本発明において表現型とは、分化抗原により特定される表現型をいい、CD34陽性及びGPIIb/III a陰性の表現型、CD34陽性及びGPIIb/III a陽性の表現型並びにCD34陰性及びGPIIb/III a陽性等の表現型があげられる。この表現型により分化過程における段階が特定される。したがって、本発明の表現型の選択により構築された細胞株を用いれば、特定された分化過程段階における、所望の活性因子のアッセイが、特に煩雑困難な技術を用いることなく、通常の技術を用いて可能となる。
【0012】
例えば、上記例示した表現型により特定される細胞株は、それぞれ特定の分化過程段階、すなわち多分化能を有する初期の分化段階、一段分化して分化の方向が巨核球系へと決定した段階、およびさらに一段分化した巨核芽球の段階にあると考えられ、造血幹細胞の自己複製因子、巨核球の増殖分化因子や血小板産生因子のアッセイに用いることができる。
【0013】
すなわち、CD34陽性及びGPIIb/III a陰性の表現型を示す細胞株は、CD34が陽性のまま長期間培養可能なことより、造血幹細胞の自己複製因子の探索アッセイなどに有用である。
また、CD34陽性及びGPIIb/III a陽性の表現型を示す細胞株は、増殖しつつも一定期間の培養中に自己分化してCD34陰性の表現型を示すようになるため、巨核球の増殖や分化に関与する因子の探索アッセイに有用である。
【0014】
さらに、CD34陰性及びGPIIb/III a陽性の表現型を示す細胞株は、巨核球の成熟を促進させる巨核球増幅因子や巨核球から血小板を産生させる因子の探索アッセイに有用である。
なお、CD34とは分子量が105〜120kDの糖タンパクであり、別名Human stem cell antigenとも呼ばれ造血幹細胞のマーカーとして利用され、分化に伴い消失する抗原である。
【0015】
また、GPIIb/III aとは血小板膜糖タンパク質であり、GPIIb(分子量約130kDのH鎖と約23kDのL鎖で構成)分子とGPIII a(分子量約95kD)分子の1:1の複合体である。血小板と巨核球に特異的に発現しており、巨核球の分化に伴い増強される分化抗原である。各陽性および陰性は、通常の方法にしたがい、それぞれ、抗CD34モノクローナル抗体および抗GPIIb/III aモノクローナル抗体を用いたフローサイトメトリーによって確認できる。
【0016】
本発明の細胞株は、例えば、CD34陽性細胞およびGPIIb/III a陽性細胞が混在したヒト骨髄性白血病細胞から、抗CD34モノクローナル抗体および抗GPIIb/III aモノクローナル抗体を用いた免疫磁気ビーズ法あるいはフローサイトメトリーによる細胞ソーティング法、もしくは限界希釈法によるクローニングにより、通常の方法にしたがって、取得できる。
【0017】
例えば、CD34陽性及びGPIIb/III a陰性の表現型を示す細胞株、CD34陽性及びGPIIb/III a陽性の表現型を示す細胞株、並びにCD34陰性及びGPIIb/III a陽性の表現型を示す細胞株は、それぞれ急性巨核球性白血病細胞、例えばCMK細胞を限界希釈法により再クローニングし、すなわち10%FCS RPMI1640培地に懸濁させ、96穴マイクロプレートに一穴あたり0.3個の濃度で播種し、得られたクローンをフローサイトメトリーにより解析して得ることができる。
【0018】
なお、CD34陽性及びGPIIb/III a陰性の表現型を示す細胞株並びにCD34陽性及びGPIIb/III a陽性の表現型を有する細胞株は、それぞれHuman myeloid leukemic cell S6 SBM332及びHuman myeloid leukemic cell S5 SBM333と命名されて、1993年3月9日付けで通商産業省工業技術院生命工学工業技術研究所にFERM BP−4227及びFERM BP−4228として寄託されている。
【0019】
【実施例】
以下、実施例によってさらに詳細に本発明を説明するが、本発明はこれにより限定されるものではない。
実施例1.
(1)
液体窒素中(−196℃)に凍結保存していたCMK細胞を37℃にて融解後、10%FCS RPMI1640培地にて培養し、経時的にCD34とGPIIb/III aの陽性細胞の割合をフローサイトメトリーにて測定した。CD34は培養1週目では陽性率は約80%あったが、培養に伴い減少し13週目には約30%となった。一方、GPIIb/III aは培養1週間目では陽性率は約30%であり、培養に伴い増加し13週目には80%強となった。これらの結果から、CMK細胞は自己増殖能だけでなく、自己分化能をも有する可能性が示された。結果を図1に示す。
【0020】
(2)
自己増殖能だけでなく自己分化能をも有する可能性が示唆されたCMK細胞を再クローニングし、得られたクローンをフローサイトメトリーにより解析した。すなわち、CMK細胞を10%FCS RPMI1640培地に懸濁させ、96穴マイクロプレートに一穴あたり0.3個の濃度で播種し、得られたクローンをフローサイトメトリーにより解析した。
【0021】
その結果、得られたクローンはCD34とGPIIb/III aの発現の有無により、CD34陽性及びGPIIb/III a陰性(クローンS6)、CD34陽性及びGPIIb/III a陽性(クローンS5)、並びにCD34陰性及びGPIIb/III a陽性(クローンS10)の3群に分類できた。結果を図2に示す。
【0022】
(3)
新規に得られたクローンS6(CD34陽性及びGPIIb/III a陰性)とクローンS10(CD34陰性及びGPIIb/III a陽性)の増殖能を比較検討した。両細胞とも105 個/mlの濃度で培養を開始し、経時的に細胞数を測定した。
クローンS6は明らかにS10より増殖能は高かった。また、クローンS5(CD34陽性及びGPIIb/III a陽性)はほぼS6と同じ増殖能を示した。結果を図3に示す。
【0023】
(4)
新規クローンS6(CD34陽性及びGPIIb/III a陰性)とS10(CD34陰性およびGPIIb/III a陽性)の形態学的特徴を示した。S6は付着性がまったく無く、幼若細胞に特徴的な芽球様形態を示す。S10はS6よりも胞体が大きく球状で、約30%の細胞が付着性を示し、そのほとんどの細胞は伸展し突起を形成する。結果を図4及び図5に示す。
【0024】
また、S5(CD34陽性及びGPIIb/III a陽性)は培養初期には芽球様細胞と球状細胞が認められ、約10%の細胞が付着性を示す。その後、培養に伴いS10の表現型(CD34陰性及びGPIIb/III a陽性)およびS10と同様の形態を示すようになる。すなわち、S10はS5の通常の培養により得ることができる。
【0025】
実施例2.
(1)
造血系に関与する種々のサイトカインのクローンS6(CD34陽性及びGPIIb/III a陰性)とS10(CD34陰性及びGPIIb/III a陽性)の増殖におよぼす影響を 3H・TdRの取り込み法により検討した。すなわち、96穴マイクロプレートにて10%FCS存在下、5×103 個の細胞に表1に示す濃度の各サイトカインを加え、48時間培養後、0.5μCiの 3H・TdRを添加し、4時間後のアイソトープの取り込みを測定した。
【0026】

Figure 0004052680
【0027】
全般的にS10はS6に比べてサイトカインに対する反応性が高く、とくに巨核球の増殖に関与すると考えられるIL−11やSCFに対しては2倍以上の増殖が認められた。
したがって、S6あるいはS10の増殖促進を指標として、造血に関与する因子、すなわち造血幹細胞の自己複製因子や巨核球の増殖因子などを探索アッセイに本発明の細胞株は有用である。
【0028】
(2)
クローンS6(CD34陽性及びGPIIb/III a陰性)は長期間の培養によっても表現型の変化を示さない。しかし、潜在的な分化能を有する可能性もあり、TPAによる分化誘導を試みた。すなわち、S6を10%FCS RPMI1640培地の105 個/mlの濃度で懸濁し、12−O−テトラデカノイルホルボール13−アセテート(TPA)(10-7M)(シグマ社製)を添加し、経時的に細胞を採取し、CD34とGPIIb/III aの発現をフローサイトメトリーにより解析した。
【0029】
TPA添加1日でGPIIb/III aの劇的な増強が観察され、その後3日目にCD34の減少が始まり、さらに7日目までにCD34は減少し、GPIIb/III aは増強した。すなわち、S6は潜在的な分化能を有していることが確認された。したがって、S6は造血幹細胞の自己複製因子だけでなく、巨核球の分化因子の探索アッセイに有用である。結果を図6に示す。
【0030】
【発明の効果】
本発明の細胞株は、造血系に関与する因子、すなわち、造血幹細胞の自己複製、巨核球の増殖や分化、また血小板の産生に関与する因子の探索アッセイに有用である。例えば、CD34陽性及びGPIIb/III a陰性の表現型を示す細胞株S6並びにCD34陰性及びGPIIb/III a陽性の表現型を示す細胞株S10は、長期間の培養によってもその表現型の変動を示さないので、造血に関与する因子の探索アッセイにも安定して使用でき、これまでに使用されてきた公知の細胞株に比べて有用である。
【0031】
さらにCD34陽性及びGPIIb/III a陽性の表現型を示すS5は自己分化能をも有することから、巨核球の増殖や分化に関与する因子のアッセイのみならず、巨核球の分化のメカニズムの解明にも応用でき、またS6は現在まで解明されていないCD34の機能やそのリガンドの探索にも有用である。

[Industrial application fields]
The present invention relates to a human leukemia cell line having a specific phenotype and self-proliferating ability, and optionally also self-differentiating ability. This cell line is useful for assaying factors involved in the hematopoietic system, that is, factors involved in hematopoietic stem cell self-renewal, megakaryocyte proliferation and differentiation, and platelet production. If these factors can be obtained, they can be widely applied to bone marrow transplantation, cancer chemotherapy, and thrombocytopenia after radiation therapy.
[0002]
[Prior art]
There are no established assays for hematopoietic stem cell self-renewal factors to date. However, spleen colony forming cell (CFU-S) measurement method, blast colony forming cell culture method (Blast colony assay) and the like are applied to mice. In humans, CD34 positive cells in bone marrow or peripheral blood mononuclear cells have been isolated and subjected to a colony method or a liquid culture method.
[0003]
Factors involved in megakaryocyte proliferation and differentiation, or platelet production include colony (CFU-Meg) formation method derived from bone marrow megakaryocyte progenitor, acetylcholine etherase (Ach E) activity measurement method, or measurement of proidy (DNA amount) Etc. are assayed. In addition, since the method for isolating megakaryocytes in bone marrow has advanced, it has become possible to use megakaryocytes directly.
[0004]
It is desirable to assay human-derived factors in human systems as much as possible from the viewpoint of species specificity. However, human bone marrow cells are generally difficult to obtain, and CD34 positive cells and megakaryocytes are infrequent, only about 1% and 0.05% to 0.5% of bone marrow mononuclear cells, respectively. Absent. In addition, megakaryocytes are vulnerable to physical stimuli and are fragile. In addition, the CFU-Meg colony formation method takes time (about 2 weeks for humans) and it is difficult to obtain uniform results.
[0005]
Therefore, it has been attempted to use human cell lines as an assay system that is simple and always feasible for searching for human-derived factors. However, changes in the properties of the cells themselves are observed during culturing, and the reactivity to various factors is decreased, and further, the reactivity varies, and a uniform assay result is often not obtained. For this reason, measures such as preserving a large number of cells while retaining their original properties and thawing and using new cells when changes in properties or reactivity occur are taken.
[0006]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In view of the above circumstances, the present inventor has obtained a human-derived factor search assay system capable of obtaining a uniform result that is simple, always feasible, and reliable, and responds to the properties of the cells and the factors. As a result of diligent research on the cause of the sexual change, it was clarified that one of the causes is that some cells spontaneously differentiate during culturing, resulting in a non-uniform cell population. Then, by cloning cells focusing on the presence or absence of differentiation antigens (molecules that decay with differentiation) present on the cell surface, cell lines useful for the target assay are obtained, and the present invention has been completed. It was.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The present invention relates to a human leukemia cell line that exhibits a specific phenotype, has the ability to self-proliferate, and possibly also has the ability to self-differentiate. That is, the present invention relates to a cell line derived from a myeloid leukemia cell, which exhibits a CD34 positive and GPIIb / IIIa negative phenotype, a CD34 positive and GPIIb / IIIa positive phenotype, and It relates to cell lines that exhibit CD34 negative and GPIIb / IIIa positive phenotypes.
[0008]
A human leukemia cell having self-proliferation ability is a cell that proliferates while maintaining a specific phenotype, is stable for a long time, and further has a self-differentiation ability while proliferating by culturing for a certain period of time. It means cells that are self-differentiated and change their phenotype. Examples thereof include cells derived from myeloid leukemia cells, preferably acute megakaryocytic leukemia cells, chronic myeloid leukemia cells, and the like.
[0009]
A human leukemia cell line exhibiting a specific phenotype and capable of self-proliferation and optionally further self-differentiation is a myeloid leukemia cell, preferably an acute megakaryocytic leukemia cell such as CMK cell, UT-7 cell M-07 cells, or chronic myeloid leukemia cells such as KU812 cells (RIKEN Cell Bank No. RCB495).
[0010]
The human leukemia cell line of the present invention can be cultured for a long time while retaining a specific phenotype, and is involved in various hematopoietic systems by reacting with various factors (cytokines) that react with hematopoietic stem cells and megakaryocytes. Therefore, it is useful for assaying factors that are involved in self-renewal of hematopoietic stem cells, proliferation and differentiation of megakaryocytes, and platelet production.
[0011]
In the present invention, the phenotype refers to a phenotype specified by a differentiation antigen, a CD34 positive and GPIIb / IIIa negative phenotype, a CD34 positive and GPIIb / IIIa positive phenotype, and a CD34 negative and GPIIb / IIIa. A phenotype such as positive is given. This phenotype identifies the stage in the differentiation process. Therefore, using a cell line constructed by phenotypic selection of the present invention, the assay of a desired active factor in a specified differentiation process step can be performed using ordinary techniques without using particularly complicated techniques. Is possible.
[0012]
For example, the cell lines identified by the phenotypes exemplified above are each a specific differentiation process stage, that is, an early differentiation stage having multipotency, a stage where the differentiation direction is determined to be a megakaryocyte system, Further, it is considered to be in the stage of a further differentiated megakaryoblast and can be used for assay of hematopoietic stem cell self-renewal factor, megakaryocyte growth differentiation factor and platelet production factor.
[0013]
That is, cell lines showing CD34-positive and GPIIb / IIIa-negative phenotypes are useful for assaying hematopoietic stem cell self-replicating factors because CD34 is positive and can be cultured for a long period of time.
In addition, cell lines showing CD34-positive and GPIIb / IIIa-positive phenotypes self-differentiate during a certain period of culture while proliferating, and thus show a CD34-negative phenotype. It is useful for assay for searching for factors involved in differentiation.
[0014]
Furthermore, cell lines showing CD34-negative and GPIIb / IIIa-positive phenotypes are useful in a search assay for megakaryocyte amplification factors that promote megakaryocyte maturation and factors that produce platelets from megakaryocytes.
CD34 is a glycoprotein having a molecular weight of 105 to 120 kD, also called a human stem cell antigen, which is used as a marker for hematopoietic stem cells and disappears with differentiation.
[0015]
GPIIb / IIIa is a platelet membrane glycoprotein, which is a 1: 1 complex of GPIIb (consisting of an H chain with a molecular weight of about 130 kD and an L chain with a molecular weight of about 23 kD) and a GPIIIa (molecular weight of about 95 kD) molecule. is there. It is a differentiation antigen that is specifically expressed in platelets and megakaryocytes and is enhanced as megakaryocytes differentiate. Each positive and negative can be confirmed by flow cytometry using an anti-CD34 monoclonal antibody and an anti-GPIIb / IIIa monoclonal antibody, respectively, according to a usual method.
[0016]
The cell line of the present invention is, for example, an immunomagnetic bead method or flow using anti-CD34 monoclonal antibody and anti-GPIIb / IIIa monoclonal antibody from human myeloid leukemia cells mixed with CD34-positive cells and GPIIb / IIIa-positive cells. It can be obtained according to the usual method by cytometry cell sorting method or cloning by limiting dilution method.
[0017]
For example, cell lines showing CD34 positive and GPIIb / IIIa negative phenotypes, cell lines showing CD34 positive and GPIIb / IIIa positive phenotypes, and cell lines showing CD34 negative and GPIIb / IIIa positive phenotypes In each case, acute megakaryocytic leukemia cells such as CMK cells were recloned by limiting dilution, that is, suspended in 10% FCS RPMI 1640 medium and seeded in a 96-well microplate at a concentration of 0.3 per well. The obtained clones can be obtained by analyzing by flow cytometry.
[0018]
Note that cell lines having CD34-positive and GPIIb / IIIa-negative phenotypes and cell lines having CD34-positive and GPIIb / IIIa-positive phenotypes are Human myeloid leukemic cell S6 SBM332 and Human myeloid leukemic cell S5 SBM333, respectively. Named and deposited on March 9, 1993 as FERM BP-4227 and FERM BP-4228 at the Institute of Biotechnology, Ministry of International Trade and Industry.

【Example】
EXAMPLES Hereinafter, although an Example demonstrates this invention further in detail, this invention is not limited by this.
Example 1.
(1)
CMK cells that had been cryopreserved in liquid nitrogen (-196 ° C) were thawed at 37 ° C, then cultured in 10% FCS RPMI 1640 medium, and the percentage of CD34 and GPIIb / IIIa positive cells flowed over time. Measured by cytometry. CD34 had a positive rate of about 80% in the first week of culture, but decreased with the culture and reached about 30% in the 13th week. On the other hand, the positive rate of GPIIb / IIIa was about 30% in the first week of culture, increased with the culture, and increased to over 80% in the 13th week. From these results, it was shown that CMK cells may have not only self-proliferation ability but also self-differentiation ability. The results are shown in FIG.
[0020]
(2)
CMK cells suggested to have not only self-proliferating ability but also self-differentiating ability were recloned, and the obtained clones were analyzed by flow cytometry. That is, CMK cells were suspended in 10% FCS RPMI 1640 medium, seeded at a concentration of 0.3 per well in a 96-well microplate, and the obtained clones were analyzed by flow cytometry.
[0021]
As a result, the obtained clones were CD34 positive and GPIIb / IIIa negative (clone S6), CD34 positive and GPIIb / IIIa positive (clone S5), CD34 negative and CD34 positive and GPIIb / IIIa negative (clone S6). GPIIb / IIIa positive (clone S10) could be classified into 3 groups. The results are shown in FIG.
[0022]
(3)
The newly obtained clone S6 (CD34 positive and GPIIb / IIIa negative) and clone S10 (CD34 negative and GPIIb / IIIa positive) were compared for growth. Both cells were cultured at a concentration of 10 5 cells / ml, and the number of cells was measured over time.
Clone S6 was clearly more proliferative than S10. In addition, clone S5 (CD34 positive and GPIIb / IIIa positive) showed almost the same growth ability as S6. The results are shown in FIG.
[0023]
(4)
Morphological features of the new clones S6 (CD34 positive and GPIIb / IIIa negative) and S10 (CD34 negative and GPIIb / IIIa positive) were shown. S6 has no adhesion and exhibits a blast-like morphology characteristic of juvenile cells. In S10, the vesicle is larger and spherical than S6, and about 30% of cells show adherence, and most of the cells extend to form protrusions. The results are shown in FIGS.
[0024]
In S5 (CD34 positive and GPIIb / IIIa positive), blast-like cells and spherical cells are observed in the early stage of culture, and about 10% of the cells are adherent. Thereafter, the phenotype of S10 (CD34 negative and GPIIb / IIIa positive) and the same form as S10 are exhibited with culture. That is, S10 can be obtained by normal culture of S5.
[0025]
Example 2
(1)
The effects on the growth of clones S6 (CD34 positive and GPIIb / IIIa negative) and S10 (CD34 negative and GPIIb / IIIa positive) of various cytokines involved in the hematopoietic system were examined by 3 H · TdR incorporation method. That is, in the presence of 10% FCS in a 96-well microplate, each cytokine having the concentration shown in Table 1 was added to 5 × 10 3 cells, cultured for 48 hours, and 0.5 μCi of 3 H · TdR was added. Isotope uptake after 4 hours was measured.
[0026]
Figure 0004052680
[0027]
In general, S10 was more responsive to cytokines than S6, and in particular, IL-11 and SCF, which are considered to be involved in megakaryocyte proliferation, were found to be more than twice as proliferated.
Therefore, the cell line of the present invention is useful in a search assay for factors involved in hematopoiesis, that is, hematopoietic stem cell self-replicating factors, megakaryocyte growth factors, and the like, using S6 or S10 growth promotion as an index.
[0028]
(2)
Clone S6 (CD34 positive and GPIIb / IIIa negative) does not show phenotypic changes even after long-term culture. However, there is a possibility of having a potential differentiation potential, and an attempt was made to induce differentiation by TPA. That is, S6 was suspended at a concentration of 10 5 cells / ml in 10% FCS RPMI 1640 medium, and 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA) (10 −7 M) (manufactured by Sigma) was added. Cells were collected over time, and the expression of CD34 and GPIIb / IIIa was analyzed by flow cytometry.
[0029]
A dramatic enhancement of GPIIb / IIIa was observed on day 1 after addition of TPA, followed by a decrease in CD34 on day 3, followed by a decrease in CD34 and an increase in GPIIb / IIIa. That is, it was confirmed that S6 has potential differentiation potential. Therefore, S6 is useful not only for hematopoietic stem cell self-renewal factors but also for assaying for megakaryocyte differentiation factors. The results are shown in FIG.
[0030]
【The invention's effect】
The cell line of the present invention is useful for assaying for factors involved in the hematopoietic system, that is, factors involved in hematopoietic stem cell self-renewal, megakaryocyte proliferation and differentiation, and platelet production. For example, the cell line S6 showing a CD34 positive and GPIIb / IIIa negative phenotype and the cell line S10 showing a CD34 negative and GPIIb / IIIa positive phenotype show changes in the phenotype even after long-term culture. Therefore, it can be stably used in a search assay for factors involved in hematopoiesis, and is useful compared to known cell lines that have been used so far.
[0031]
Furthermore, S5, which exhibits a CD34-positive and GPIIb / IIIa-positive phenotype, also has the ability to self-differentiate, so that not only assays for factors involved in megakaryocyte proliferation and differentiation but also elucidation of the mechanism of megakaryocyte differentiation. S6 is also useful for searching for the function of CD34 and its ligand that have not been elucidated so far.
