Bone marrow is the major site of hematopoiesis in the adult mammal. Bone marrow contains a highly organized microenvironment for the support of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells, including the production of growth factors. Bone marrow cells also produce negative regulatory factors which may regulate hematopoiesis and inflammatory responses. In this paper we describe Reptimed, a unique bone marrow-derived factor with inhibitory activity for myelopoiesis and in vitro growth of myeloid cell lines. Reptimed was partially purified from bone marrow supernatants using a combination of solid-phase extraction and size exclusion chromatography. Reptimed is < 1000 Da MW and is water soluble. Reptimed inhibited growth of granulocyte-macrophage and macrophage colonies as well as proliferation of several myeloid leukemia cell lines. Reptimed may be part of a hemoregulatory circuit.

Differentiation of Common Myeloid Progenitor Cells

Common myeloid progenitors (CMPs) are oligopotent cells that can differentiate into granulocytes and macrophages. Granulocytes and macrophages are essential for protecting the body against bacterial, viral, or fungal infections. They migrate from the bone marrow into the circulating blood to reach specific tissue sites where they differentiate and help in immune surveillance. However, they survive only for a few days and must be continuously made available to the organism to maintain a robust...

Regulation of Hematopoietic Stem Cells

All blood and immune cells are produced from the multipotent hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) by the process of hematopoiesis. However, they all have a limited life span. In addition, many are depleted in immune surveillance or combatting an injury or infection. This makes blood one of the most regenerative tissues. Hematopoiesis helps replenish these blood and immune cells, restoring the body's normal functioning. However, overproduction of blood and immune cells can make them cancerous or...

Bone Marrow Sampling and Transplants

Bone marrow transplant is a potential cure for several diseases, including cancer and specific genetic disorders. Notably, this procedure is applicable for patients suffering from aplastic anemia, certain types of leukemia, severe combined immunodeficiency disease (SCID), Hodgkin's disease, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, multiple myeloma, thalassemia, sickle-cell disease, and certain cancers.
The transplant begins with high doses of chemotherapy and radiation treatment, which aim to destroy the...
