Long-term donor chimerism is established by mobilization-based HSCT (M-HSCT)
(A) Schematic of the M-HSCT protocol. Recipient CD45.2 mice were mobilized with G-CSF (green dots) and AMD3100 (red triangle), with and without BIO5192 (blue triangle) (G7A; G7AB), and subsequently transplanted with CD45.1 2 × 106 Lin− cells, collected from the BM.
(B) Counts of mobilized WBC (left panel), LSK (middle panel), and SLAM HSC (right panel) per mL in the PB in non-mobilized (Sham) and G7A and G7AB mobilized mice.
(C) Counts of LSK cells per million of Lin− CD45.1 donor cells, collected from the BM.
(D) Long-term follow-up of the donor CD45.1 (blue) and recipient CD45.2 (ocher) chimerism observed within total CD45+ cells in PB after transplanting 2 × 106 Lin− cells post-mobilization in recipient CD45.2 mice.
(E) The reconstitution of myeloid and lymphoid lineages over time of the recipient CD45.2+ cells (left panel) and CD45.1+ cells (right panel) in the PB of recipient CD45.2 mice.
(F–I) Chimerism of CD45.1 cells was observed within CD19+ B cells, CD11b+ myeloid cells, CD4+ T helper cells, and CD8+ T cytotoxic cells in the PB (F) and BM (G), within the Lin−, LSK, and SLAM HSC (H) and spleen (I).
(J and K) Myeloid and lymphoid lineage composition of CD45.2+ cells (left panel) and CD45.1+ cells (right panel) in the BM (J) and spleen (K) of CD45.2 mice.
The results are mean ± SEM, with n ≧ 10 biological replicates. In all the analyses, p less than 0.05 were considered significant (∗p < 0.05, ∗∗p < 0.01, ∗∗∗p < 0.001, ∗∗∗∗p < 0.0001. “ns” means non-significance).
