  • Title: Haemopoietic stem cell proliferation in the bone marrow of S1/S1d mice.
    Author: Wright EG, Lorimore SA.
    Journal: Cell Tissue Kinet; 1987 May; 20(3):301-10. PubMed ID: 3319178.
    Abstract:
    In marrow from Sl/Sld mice (but not +/+ mice) day 7 and day 8 CFU-S proliferate whilst day 10 and day 12 CFU-S exhibit negligible proliferation. Media conditioned by both +/+ and Sl/Sld marrow contains an inhibitor of CFU-S proliferation but day 8 CFU-S in +/+ and Sl/Sld marrow show marked dose-response differences to this factor. To inhibit the proliferation of Sl/Sld CFU-S required approximately ten times the concentration of inhibitor that inhibited the proliferation of +/+ CFU-S. Thus abnormally responsive day 8-CFU-S were shown to proliferate in an inhibitory environment. Abnormalities in Sl/Sld CFU-S function were also demonstrated in heterotopic transplantation experiments using +/+ and Sl/Sld donors and hosts to obtain ectopic bone marrow with various stromal (donor) and haemopoietic (host) combinations. Day 8 Sl/Sld CFU-S were seen to proliferate, irrespective of whether the stromal environment was derived from Sl/Sld or +/+ marrow. Sl/Sld mice are generally regarded as animals in which there is a genetically determined defect in haemopoiesis due to an abnormality in the haemopoietic environment. It is difficult, however, to attribute the abnormal CFU-S behaviour in these experiments to environmental factors and the results are consistent with mutation at the Sl locus affecting the responses of CFU-S to regulatory signals, i.e. the genetic defect is not confined to the stromal environment.
