Abstract
Clinical translation of the mixed-chimerism approach for inducing transplantation tolerance would be facilitated if mobilized peripheral blood stem cells (mPBSCs) could be used instead of bone marrow cells (BMCs). Because the use of mPBSCs for this purpose has not been investigated in nonmyeloablative murine protocols, we explored the engraftment potential of mPBSCs in a CD45-congenic model as a first step. After 2, 1.5, or 1 Gy of total body irradiation, CD45.1 B6 hosts received unseparated granulocyte colony-stimulating factor-mobilized CD45.2 B6 PBSCs or unseparated CD45.2 B6 BMCs. The same total cell numbers, or aliquots of mPBSCs and BMCs containing similar numbers of c-kit+ cells, were transplanted both with and without a short course of rapamycin-based immunosuppression (IS). Transplantation of mPBSCs induced long-term multilineage macrochimerism, but chimerism levels were significantly lower than among recipients of the same number of BMCs. Transplanting aliquots containing similar numbers of c-kit+ cells reduced the difference between mPBSCs and BMCs, but lower levels of chimerism were nonetheless observed in mPBSC recipients. Chimerism levels correlated more closely with the number of transplanted progenitor cells as ...Continue Reading
