Replication of pluripotent stem cells in granulocyte/macrophage colonies developed in methylcellulose culture of mouse bone marrow cells. 1982

T Miyanomae, and M Tsurusawa, and K J Mori, and H Mikawa, and Y Ito

The existence of pluripotent hemopoietic stem cells in granulocyte/macrophage colonies was demonstrated in a culture of mouse bone marrow cells in semi-solid methylcellulose with spleen conditioned medium as colony-stimulating activity. When fresh growth medium containing the conditioned medium was supplemented to 1-week culture, the number of cells per colony increased significantly in the next week. The number of pluripotent stem cells also increased by a factor of 12 or more in the second week of the culture. The number of cell divisions in such a culture was calculated as 12-15 in 2 weeks. These results indicate that some of the granulocyte/macrophage colonies are derived from pluripotent stem cells, and that the stem cells can undergo 3-5 self-replications in such semi-solid culture.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008214 Lymphocytes White blood cells formed in the body's lymphoid tissue. The nucleus is round or ovoid with coarse, irregularly clumped chromatin while the cytoplasm is typically pale blue with azurophilic (if any) granules. Most lymphocytes can be classified as either T or B (with subpopulations of each), or NATURAL KILLER CELLS. Lymphoid Cells,Cell, Lymphoid,Cells, Lymphoid,Lymphocyte,Lymphoid Cell
D008264 Macrophages The relatively long-lived phagocytic cell of mammalian tissues that are derived from blood MONOCYTES. Main types are PERITONEAL MACROPHAGES; ALVEOLAR MACROPHAGES; HISTIOCYTES; KUPFFER CELLS of the liver; and OSTEOCLASTS. They may further differentiate within chronic inflammatory lesions to EPITHELIOID CELLS or may fuse to form FOREIGN BODY GIANT CELLS or LANGHANS GIANT CELLS.

D008747 Methylcellulose Methylester of cellulose. Methylcellulose is used as an emulsifying and suspending agent in cosmetics, pharmaceutics and the chemical industry. It is used therapeutically as a bulk laxative. BFL,Celevac,Cellothyl,Cellulone,Citrucel,Cologel,Dacryolarmes,Methocel,Methyl Cellulose,Muciplasma,Cellulose, Methyl
D001853 Bone Marrow The soft tissue filling the cavities of bones. Bone marrow exists in two types, yellow and red. Yellow marrow is found in the large cavities of large bones and consists mostly of fat cells and a few primitive blood cells. Red marrow is a hematopoietic tissue and is the site of production of erythrocytes and granular leukocytes. Bone marrow is made up of a framework of connective tissue containing branching fibers with the frame being filled with marrow cells.

D002455 Cell Division The fission of a CELL. It includes CYTOKINESIS, when the CYTOPLASM of a cell is divided, and CELL NUCLEUS DIVISION. M Phase,Cell Division Phase,Cell Divisions,Division Phase, Cell,Division, Cell,Divisions, Cell,M Phases,Phase, Cell Division,Phase, M,Phases, M

D006098 Granulocytes Leukocytes with abundant granules in the cytoplasm. They are divided into three groups according to the staining properties of the granules: neutrophilic, eosinophilic, and basophilic. Mature granulocytes are the NEUTROPHILS; EOSINOPHILS; and BASOPHILS. Granulocyte

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D013154 Spleen An encapsulated lymphatic organ through which venous blood filters.
