Bone and bone marrow interactions: hematological activity of osteoblastic growth peptide (OGP)-derived carboxy-terminal pentapeptide. II. Action on human hematopoietic stem cells.
Osteogenic growth peptide (OGP) is a peptide exerting regulatory effects on the bone and on bone marrow. The carboxy-terminal pentapeptide (OGP10-14) is the biologically active portion of OGP. We evaluated OGP10-14 hematopoietic activity performing colony-forming tests on human stem cells derived by bone marrow, peripheral blood and cord blood. Granulocyte-macrophage colony-forming unit (CFU) were significantly increased in OGP10-14-treated samples, while granulocyte-erythrocyte-monocyte-megakaryocyte CFU and burst-forming unit (BFU) erythroid were increased only in the cord blood test.Moreover, OGP10-14 preserves stem cells self renewal potential in long-term culture (LTC) initiating cells and acts directly on CD34+ enriched cells or by increasing activity of stem cell factor (SCF) and granulocyte-megakaryocyte colony-stimulating factor.
