title: [Substitution of BMEC-CM for hematopoietic stimulators in the culture of CFU-GM and HPP-CFC].
abstract: The effects of > 10 kD component of serum-free conditioned medium from murine bone marrow-derived endothelial cell line on the formation of CFU-GM and HPP-CFC were investigated. We found that > 10 kD component alone could stimulate CFU-GM colony formation in dose-dependent. Above- 10 kD component supplemented with GM-CSF not only resulted in significant increase of CFU-GM as compared with > 10 kD or GM-CSF alone, but also could stimulate HPP-CFC formation. The effect of > 10 kD component on the formation of HPP-CFC was also in dose-dependent. The component above- 10 kD combined with IL-3, IL-6, EPO, SCF or GM-CSF further enhanced HPP-CFC colony formation. The results suggest that > 10 kD component may be used as the substitutes of hematopoietic growth factors to stimulate the formation of CFU-GM and HPP-CFC.
