OBJECTIVE: Umbilical cord blood (CB) provides an alternative source of hematopoietic progenitor cells for transplantation; however, prolonged thrombocytopenia remains a major obstacle due to the low numbers of megakaryocyte progenitor (Mk-prog) cells and their subsequent delayed engraftment. In this study, we improved techniques for enrichment, cryopreservation, and ex vivo expansion of Mk-prog cells from CB.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: CB mononuclear cells (MNC) were isolated and Mk-prog enriched by sedimentation on gelatin followed by centrifugation with Ficoll-Hypaque and cryopreserved. The capacity of MNC to produce Mk-prog cells, assessment of CD34(+) and Mk-prog expansion in liquid culture, and analysis of the cell populations by flow cytometry were studied in cryopreserved separated CB and compared to whole CB and freshly separated samples.
RESULTS: Excellent viability of greater than 85% was maintained after cryopreservation of separated CB. The number of colony-forming Mk-prog, myeloid, and erythroid progenitor cells did not decrease with cryopreservation. Flow cytometric analysis of cryopreserved cells revealed significant removal of the residual red blood cells while maintaining complete recovery of CD34(+), CD41(+) (Mk), myeloid, and T and B cells compared to noncryopreserved CB cells. There was no difference in the ability of separated cryopreserved MNC CB cells to be expanded in short-term liquid cultures.
CONCLUSIONS: The conditions defined here for cryopreservation of gelatin/Ficoll-Hypaque separated CB, followed by ex vivo expansion of MNC, allowed complete recovery of proliferating CD41(+), CD34(+), Mk-prog cells, and other hematopoietic progenitors. Mk-prog cell expansion just before the scheduled transplantation is easily applicable by this technically simple and economical procedure that requires only an aliquot of red cell cell-depleted MNC to be separated from the CB unit before cryopreservation.
