We studied the functional characteristics of subpopulations of cord blood-derived CD34+ cells expressing different levels of CD38 and c-kit antigens, using clonal cell culture and long-term culture with allogeneic bone marrow stromal cells or the MS-5 murine stromal cell line to assay long-term culture-initiating cells (LTC-IC) in each subpopulation. To investigate the capacity for replication, proliferation, and differentiation of each subpopulation of CD34+ cells, we also studied the correlation between LTC-IC and telomerase activity. After 5 weeks of coculture, LTC-IC accounted for one out of 32 CD34+CD38- cells and one out of 33 CD34+c-kit- cells. In contrast, the frequency of LTC-IC was low in their antigen-positive counterparts (one per 84 CD34+CD38+ cells, one per 90 CD34+c-kit(low) cells, and very low among CD34+c-kit(high) cells). It was noteworthy that some LTC-IC derived from CD34+CD38- as well as CD34+c-kit- cells generated colony-forming cells (CFCs) after up to 9 weeks of coculture. Telomerase activity was consistently low in CD34+CD38- and CD34+c-kit- cells compared to CD38+ or c-kit(high or low) cells, suggesting that CD34+CD38- or c-kit- cells are likely to be more quiescent. These results suggest that the CD34+CD38- and CD34+c-kit- cell populations are primitive stem/progenitor cells, and that the telomerase activity of these cells correlates with their proliferative capacity as well as their stage of differentiation.

D005312 Fetal Blood Blood of the fetus. Exchange of nutrients and waste between the fetal and maternal blood occurs via the PLACENTA. The cord blood is blood contained in the umbilical vessels (UMBILICAL CORD) at the time of delivery.

D005784 Gene Amplification A selective increase in the number of copies of a gene coding for a specific protein without a proportional increase in other genes. It occurs naturally via the excision of a copy of the repeating sequence from the chromosome and its extrachromosomal replication in a plasmid, or via the production of an RNA transcript of the entire repeating sequence of ribosomal RNA followed by the reverse transcription of the molecule to produce an additional copy of the original DNA sequence. Laboratory techniques have been introduced for inducing disproportional replication by unequal crossing over, uptake of DNA from lysed cells, or generation of extrachromosomal sequences from rolling circle replication. Amplification, Gene
