Abstract:
:We have studied the effects of recombinant (r) interleukin 7 (IL-7) on growth and differentiation of marrow pro-B-lymphocyte clones (CB/Bm7, LyD9, LyB9), marrow pro-T-lymphocyte clones (C4-77/3, C4-86/18, C4-95/16), and fetal thymocyte clones (FTH5, FTA2, FTD5) in the presence or absence of the bone marrow stroma clone RP.0.10, which was selected for its ability to promote differentiation of the pro-B clones. rIL-7 alone stimulated some DNA synthesis (measured by [3H]thymidine uptake) but not actual growth (increase in cell number) of the pro-B clones. Antibodies against IL-4 and IL-6 or against receptors for IL-2, IL-3, and IL-5 did not inhibit this effect of rIL-7 on the pro-B clones. rIL-7 alone or in various combinations with other cytokines (from rIL-1 alpha to rIL-6) could not induce differentiation of the pro-B clones into IgM+ B cells regardless of the presence of lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The RP.0.10 marrow stroma cells by themselves do not support the growth of the pro-B clones. However, the pro-B clones grew when cultured with rIL-7 and monolayers of the RP.0.10 stroma cells. While the RP.0.10 stroma cells induced the pro-B clones to differentiate into IgM+ B cells but not T3+ T cells when cultured in the presence of LPS and rIL-3, the B-cell progenitor clones gave rise to significantly higher numbers of IgM+ B cells (up to 63%) and to many more B cells expressing higher levels of surface IgM when cocultured with rIL-7, LPS, and RP.0.10 stroma cells. The pro-B clones also generated IgM+ B cells (up to 20%) when cocultured with RP.0.10 stroma cells and rIL-7 in the absence of LPS. By using culture plates designed for testing requirements for cell-cell contact, we found that cell interactions between the pro-B cell and the marrow stroma cell are essential to induce rearrangement and expression of the immunoglobulin genes in the pro-B clones. Possible mechanisms to account for the remarkable effects of rIL-7 in the presence of RP.0.10 stroma cells on both growth and differentiation of the pro-B clones are discussed. Finally, rIL-7 alone or together with RP.0.10 stroma cells neither supported proliferation nor induced differentiation into T3+ T cells or IgM+ B cells of the marrow pro-T clones or the fetal thymocyte clones. In light of these findings, we postulate that the interaction of the pluripotential stem cell with marrow stroma cells like RP.0.10 and the availability of IL-7 could play a critical role in the commitment to develop along the B-lymphocyte pathway.
