Abstrakt: | Aim: To evaluate expression of genes participating in regulation of hemopoietic stem cells (HSC) in the cells of stromal sublayer of bone marrow long-term cultures in patients with aplastic anemia (AA); to determine effects of parathyroid hormone (PTH) on stromal microenvironment and on its ability to maintain HSC homeostasis. Material and Methods: Gene expression in the sublayer of the adherent cells (SAC) was examined with RT-PCt. SAC was for a long time treated with PTH, then their ability to secure survival of early hemopoietic precursors was tested. Changes in the function of stromal cells and expression of some genes were compared in 9 AA patients and 14 donors. Results: Stromal sublayer of AA patients is characterized by low expression of Ang-1 and VCAM-1 genes and high VEGF expression compared to mean level of healthy donors. PTH stimulates expression of different genes participating in HSC regulation in stromal cells of some patients and improves survival of early hemopoietic hemopoietic precursors on such sublayers. Conclusion: AA patients have severe defects in SAC interaction with stroma. In some cases the defects can be partially compensated with application of PTH. |
