title: [Hematopoietic growth factors expressed in human aorta-gonad-mesonephros (AGM)-derived stromal cells in vitro].
abstract: This study was aimed to investigate the hematopoietic growth factors expressed in human aorta-gonad-mesonephros (AGM)-derived stromal cells in vitro in order to provide the basic data for elucidating the role of AGM -derived-stromal cells in embryo-hematopoiesis and its hematopoietic suppoitive effect. RT-PCR was used to analyze the expression of IL-6, SCF, Flt3-L, oncostatin M (OSM), IL-3, TPO, M-CSF and LIF in human aorta-gonad-mesonephros-derived stromal cells (hAGMS1-S5) at mRNA level. IL-6, SCF and Flt3-L levels were detected in the supernatant of hAGMS1-S5 stromal cells by ELISA assay. Umbilical cord blood CD34(+) cells were cocultured with hAGMS1-S5 feeder cells, and hematopoietic cells were collected at day 14 for colony analysis in methylcellulose semisolid medium. The results showed that human aorta-gonad-mesonephros-derived stromal cells S1-S5 expressed IL-6, SCF, Flt3-L and OSM mRNA, but did not express IL-3, TPO, M-CSF and LIF mRNA. In the supernatant of hAGMS1-S5 cells, IL-6, SCF and Flt3-L could be detected by ELISA assay at different levels, while there was no significant difference between groups of hAGMS1-S5 (P > 0.05). When cocultured with umbilical cord blood CD34(+) cells, hAGMS1-S5 could support the expansion of CFU-GM, BFU-E, and CFU-Mix. The supportive effects of hAGM S1-S5 were significantly different (P < 0.05), hAGM S3 and S4 were better than hAGM S1, S2, and S5. It is concluded that detection of hematopoietic growth factors expressed in human aorta-gonad-mesonephros-derived stromal cells provided a solid foundation to elucidate the mechanism of hematopoiesis and the hematopoietic supportive effect of these stromal cells.
