Abstract
The success of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation depends on the engraftment of pluripotent hematopoietic stem cells and the regulated proliferation and maturation of committed progenitor cells. It is generally agreed that these processes cannot occur without an appropriate milieu provided by a competent marrow microenvironment (ME). The ME is composed of both non-hematopoietic and hematopoietic stem cell derived cells and consequently is chimeric following allogeneic stem cell transplantation, containing recipient stromal cells and donor macrophages.
Keywords: hematopoietic microenvironment, stromal cell, transplantation, stem cell niche, ME units, monocyte/ macrophage
Early studies
Some of the most compelling evidence for the absolute requirement of a competent microenvironment (ME) to support engraftment comes from early studies in mutant mice. In particular, unequivocal studies show that both the SL/SL, or "Steel" mutant mouse which dies of anemia spontaneously, and the more viable SL/SLd mouse, which succumbs following very low doses of irradiation, cannot be rescued with an infusion of normal bone marrow cells [38]. However, the animals could be rescued by transplantation of intact spleen tissue, which becomes the site of hematopoiesis [29]. These studies not only established the importance of the ME for stem cell engraftment, but also advanced the concept that at least some components of the ME cannot be transplanted by an intra-venous infusion of aspirated marrow cells. More recently the mutated gene product that gives rise to the Steel phenotype was shown to be kit ligand, also known as "stem cell factor" (SCF) expressed by stromal cells [12, 19].
Early seminal work by Wolf and Trentin illustrated that the
ME is also critical for inducing lineage commitment. In these experiments, a section of bone with intact marrow was implanted within the spleen of a mouse prior to irradiation. After stem cell transplantation, the resulting spleen colonies that bridged the two different MEs were mixed such that there was mostly erythroid differentiation on the splenic side while myeloid differentiation predominated on the marrow side [51].
Although these early studies highlighted the important role of the ME in normal hematopoiesis, identifying the cells and secreted products that are involved in this process remains unfinished work. Specifically, the components that can support the expansion of stem cells without loss of their potential have not been defined. This may be due in part to the fact that more than one cell type and gene product participate in this regulation. In addition, even though the hematopoietic system is a liquid tissue, some ME components appear to be „fixed" stromal elements that contribute to the architecture and may have critical spatial relationships with each other that are difficult to reproduce in vitro.
Figure 1: Dexter Long-Term Culture (LTC): Panel A depicts a schematic representation of a typical LTC. A complex adherent layer composed of fibroblasts, endothelium, adipocytes, and macrophages which supports the production of hematopoietic cells. As hematopoietic cells mature, they are released from the adherent layer into the media. Panel B depicts a phase-contrast photomicrograph of a typical human LTC.
The adherent stromal layer in the LTC consists of fibroblasts, endothelial cells, macrophages, adipocytes, osteoclasts, and extracellular matrix. LTC, if done properly, appear to approximate the in vivo ME since the functional ramifications of the Steel defect are apparent in cultures established from SL/ SLd marrow [14]. However there are limitations to this system as myeloid cell production is generally favored over erythro-id, and the ever-increasing proportion of monocyte-derived macrophages, is eventually associated with the termination of cell production [10].
Stromal component of the ME
There has been considerable debate concerning the origin of the ME stromal cells. Many reports have suggested that he-matopoietic cells and stromal cells have a common precursor, and in agreement with this, several reports have claimed that stromal fibroblasts as well as hematopoietic cells are replaced by donor cells after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation [23, 43]. However, many of these studies typically looked at LTC established from sex mismatched transplants and detected donor cells using standard cytogenetics or fluorescent in-situ hybridization (FISH) for sex chromatin [23]. While it is clear that adherent cells of donor origin were detected in these LTC, these reports were flawed, as they did not properly account for the macrophage component of the adherent layer. This is an important consideration, since studies have shown that even after weekly passage of adherent cells, ma-
crophages can represent a significant proportion of the cells in a 12 week LTC (see Table 1) [5]. Using histochemistry to identify and exclude the donor-derived macrophage component, our lab has determined that even after decades following successful stem cell transplantation, with 100% donor-derived he-matopoietic cells, the stromal cells detected in an LTC from a transplanted patient remain of host origin, as predicted by the Steel mouse [5, 42].
The stromal component of the ME remains relatively constant and is quite resistant to currently used conditioning regimens. Therefore, after transplantation, the ME as a whole becomes chimeric; the stromal fibroblasts and endothelial cells remain host-derived while the macrophages are donor-derived [42, 48]. There are several possible explanations for this: First, unlike hematopoietic cells, the stromal fibroblasts and endothe-lial cells that are harvested from marrow and detectable in the transplanted product are not equipped with the surface molecules needed for trans-migrating the endothelium and homing to the ME. Pre-clinical animal studies suggest that when stro-mal cells are infused intravenously, they get trapped primarily in the lung and spleen (M. Mielcarek, personal communication). Second, because stromal cells are relatively resistant to chemotherapy and irradiation, the stromal cell compartment is not depleted by standard conditioning; as a result there may not be a demand for stromal cell replacement.
ME niches
After conditioning, the resident stromal cells express or secrete molecules that attract hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells, provide cell surface receptors which allow for the attachment of these cells, and secrete activities for the induction and support of various cell fates. Recently there has been

considerable interest in identifying the specific cellular components that make up the stem cell niche, the specific ME unit where the hematopoietic stem cell resides and self-renews. Over the past two decades, the mouse model has been used to identify various chemokines, cell surface adhesion molecules, and cell types that contribute to this niche. There is general agreement that a number of signaling pathways including c-kit/SCF, CXCR4/CXCL12, VCAM1/VLA-4, Tie2/angipoi-etin, c-mpl/thrombopoietin, notch/jagged-1, and osteopontin play important roles in maintaining the stem cell niche [6, 30, 3, 16, 22, 32, 4, 27, 31, 44, 25, 35, 52, 9]. However, there is less agreement on the exact identity of the cells that make up the stem cell niche.
Compelling evidence from mouse studies suggest that the endosteal region is critical for the maintenance of hematopoietic stem and precursor cells. One prevalent model proposes that stem cell maintenance critically depends on N-cadherin-mediated binding to osteoblasts [9, 53]. This "osteoblastic niche" model was based on experiments which showed that N-cadherin-positive cells in the endosteal region are associated with cells expressing stem cell markers [9] . However, there are also reports that ablation of osteoblasts does not result in an immediate loss of stem cells, suggesting that while the stem cells may be spatially associated with osteoblasts, the osteoblasts may not be playing a significant role in their support [50, 54]. Furthermore, a recent study demonstrated that only CD146-positive mesenchymal progenitors and not osteoblasts can transfer a ME when transplanted into immu-nodeficient mice [39] .
The macrophage component of the ME
It is obvious that in vivo, stromal cells do not function in isolation, but do so in the context of other cells. One cell type that is clearly conspicuous both in vivo and in vitro (see Figure 2) is the monocyte-derived macrophage [34, 33] .
cialized macrophage that is an important component of the erythroblast island, thought to provide structure and nutrients to developing erythroid cells [7, 11]. Osteoclasts, another specialized type of monocyte-derived macrophages, are critical in Ca+ homeostasis in the bone, which is also important for the maintenance of hematopoietic stem cells [1]. However, there is little known or even speculated about the role macrophages may play in the stem cell niche.
Available data suggest that stromal cells play a direct role in the stem cell niche by influencing cell fate decisions through the expression of proteins, such as SDF1 and Jagged, which bind progenitor surface determinants CXCR4 and Notch, respectively. While SDF1 facilitates homing and retention of cells in the marrow, Jagged transduces a signal through Notch that renders early progenitors resistant to differentiation signals [30, 3, 27, 9]. However, since the stromal cell compartment appears constant, with little turnover, it is unclear how interactions between stroma and stem cells can be modulated to allow for the dynamic range of cell production that is characteristic of hematopoiesis. In particular, the mechanisms that regulate gene expression in stromal cells have not been well defined. However, in theory the influence of a constant level of a stroma-expressed genes, e.g. Jagged, could be modulated to some extent indirectly, by down-regulating the level of its receptor, Notch, expressed by progenitors. In vitro studies using cloned human stromal cell lines suggest that this may occur.
Recent data from our laboratory indicates that functionally distinct stromal cell lines isolated from the same LTC can induce different gene expression profiles in monocytes. Specifically, the cloned stromal cell line HS27a, which expresses a number of genes associated with the stem cell niche including CXCL12, angiopoietin, Jagged 1, VCAM, induces the secretion of osteopontin by monocytes [37, 15, 20]. The osteopontin in turn down-regulates Notch expression on progenitors.
It is reasonable to conclude that the reduced expression of Notch on progenitors can limit Jagged-Notch signaling, thereby making the progenitors more responsive to differentiation signals [20]. Interestingly, we also showed that the second functionally distinct stromal line, designated HS5, secretes activities that increase
Figure 2: Panel A shows a normal human bone marrow biopsy stained with macrophage-specific CD68 antibody. Panel B depicts a marrow LTC from an inducible transgenic mouse where GFP is under the control of the human CD68 promoter and is expressed exclusively in macrophages. As illustrated in the photomicrographs, CD68 positive macrophages have a significant presence in the marrow and have numerous cell processes which interact with many cell types, suggesting a crucial role in the regulation of hematopoiesis.
In vivo, monocytes are recruited from the circulation into tissues, where they can differentiate into macrophages and perform functions that are relevant to that particular tissue ME. It has long been known that macrophages play a critical role in hematopoiesis. Bessis first described the "nurse cell", a spe-
the production of matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9) by monocytes, which would facilitate egress of the newly matured cells [21]. Since monocytes circulate and can be recruited from the blood, changes in their number and gene expression within an ME could significantly modulate stromal function.

Figure 3. Combined Immunohistochemistry for MMP-9 and FISH for chromosome 7. Monocytes from a healthy donor and from an MDS patient with monosomy seven were isolated and exposed to stromal signals. Cytospins were prepared and IHC for MMP-9 and FISH for chromosome 7 were performed. Panel A depicts monocytes from a healthy control which upregulate MMP-9 expression in response to stromal signals (green cytoplasmic staining) and have two copies of chromosome 7 detected by FISH (see white arrows). Panel B depicts clonal MDS monocytes identified by monosomy 7 which fail to upregulate MMP-9 expression in response to stromal signals.
The potential clinical relevance of this finding was suggested by a significant negative correlation between the proportion of abnormal monocytes and degree of marrow cellularity [21]. Given the role of MMP-9 in facilitating the egress of cells from marrow, it is reasonable to conclude that as the proportion of non-responsive monocytes increases, inducible levels of MMP-9 decline, resulting in hypercellularity. We also determined that the stromal signal from HS5 that induced MMP-9 is most likely MCP-1; however, we have not as yet identified the compromised monocyte signaling pathway that fails to respond [21]. Clearly a better delineation of signaling pathways that are responsible for normal responses between stromal cells and monocytes as well as the activities that trigger these pathways are needed.
These data suggest that macrophages can play a significant role in altering the hematopoietic ME to support the mali-gnant/dysplastic process. This has clear implications for the success of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, especially with the introduction of reduced intensity and so-called non-myeloablative conditioning regimens. Most of these conditioning regimens are of insufficient intensity to eliminate residual clonal host macrophages. Thus, when allogeneic stem cells are infused, they encounter a ME that remains dysregulated. This may explain the high rates of graft rejection and relapse seen in MDS patients after reduced intensity and non-mye-loablative transplantation [21, 2, 28, 40, 26].
propriately to stromal signals and thereby contributes to abnormal ME function. This would explain why "defective" MEs appear to be corrected by transplantation; the transplant is actually replacing the abnormal monocytes, not the stromal cells. This is not to suggest that primary stromal failures do not exist. Two examples of such failures have been observed following transplantation: one involves CMV infection and destruction of stromal cells [41, 47, 36, 46, 8], the other involves GVH-mediated anti-stroma activities [49, 18, 17]. In both cases the recipients could not be rescued by the even after the anti-stroma
infusion of additional stem cells, mechanism had been eliminated.
Summary
Over the past several decades, studies have revealed the he-matopoietic ME to be a complex tissue that consists of both hematopoietic and non-hematopoietic cells, extra-cellular matrix, as well as soluble and membrane bound factors, all of which act in concert to support normal hematopoiesis.
• The ME consists of both hematopoietic stem cell derived and non-hematopoietic cells.
• A viable host ME is required for successful stem cell transplantation.
• Graft failure ensues when the ME is damaged/destroyed.
• After transplantation, the ME becomes chimeric. The stromal elements of the ME remain host-derived, whereas the monocyte/macrophage component is replaced by donor cells.
• Distinct niches or "ME units" exist that are responsible for the regulation of stem cell quiescence as well as differentiation.
Finally, appreciating the critical role that monocyte-derived macrophages may play in the hematopoietic ME sheds new light on the "seed versus soil" debate as to the cause of hematopoietic dysplasias and aplasias, as well as graft failures. Clearly, the ME (soil) may appear abnormal, yet the defect may reside in the hematopoietic stem cell (seed)- derived monocyte, which upon entering the ME, fails to respond ap-
The hematopoietic stem cell derived monocyte/macrophage is a critical component of the ME.
Stromal cells activate monocytes to assume different fates, which subsequently secrete activities that regulate hematopoiesis.
• In hematologic malignancies, clonally derived monocytes contribute to the dysregulation of the ME.
Data from our lab suggest that monocyte-derived macrophages play a significant role within the ME, and that abnormal monocytes derived from a clone of malignant hematopoietic cells, can compromise ME function. Importantly, following reduced intensity conditioning, recipient macrophages can be retained, and the dysregulated ME can persist and fail to support engraftment. Clearly, further investigation is necessary to completely understand how stroma and monocytes interact to regulate normal hematopoiesis, and how these pathways are altered by abnormal cells. As our knowledge increases we will be able to develop strategies to identify and correct abnormal signaling within the ME.

Роль микроокружения костного мозга в трансплантации гемопоэтических стволовых клеток
Аравинд Рамакришнан, Биверли Дж.Торок-Шторб
Резюме
Успешность трансплантации гемопоэтических стволовых клеток зависит от приживления плюрипотентных гемопоэтических стволовых клеток (ГСК) и регулируемой пролиферации и созревания коммитированных родоначальных клеток. В целом, существует согласие в том, что эти процессы не могут возникать без соответствующей среды, которую обеспечивает компетентное микроокружение костного мозга. Оно состоит как из негемопоэтических клеток, так и клеток гемопоэтического происхождения, и впоследствии, после аллогенной трансплантации ГСК, становится химерным, содержащим стромальные клетки реципиента и макрофаги донора.
Ключевые слова: гемопоэтическое микроокружение, стромальные клетки, трансплантация, ниша стволовых клеток, единицы микроокружения, моноцит/макрофаг
