Efeito da administração do G-CSF in vivo na cinética de mobilização das células tronco mesenquimais e hematopoéticas da medula óssea para o sangue periférico e produção de citocinas em cultura primária

Abstract

The mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have regenerative potential by its plasticity and ability to modulate the immune response with immunossupressive effects and secretion of a broadspectrum cytokines. The G-CSF is a potent cell growth factor and has the ability to mobilize SCs into peripheral blood. The aim of this study was to evaluated the influence of different doses of G-CSF on the kinetics at HSC and MSCs mobilization into peripheral blood and the G-CSF effect on the cytokine profile produced by these cells in vitro. We used six groups of 12 female Swiss mice, control group and five doses groups 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 of G-CSF. The HSCs and MSCs mobilized were identified using cell markers performed by flow cytometry. The peripheral blood (PB) and bone marrow (BM) samples were used of each group to obtain the HSCs and MSCs, which were cultivated in vitro. Cytokines were measured in supernatants of PB and BM cultures by Cytometric Bead Array (CBA). The MSCs mobilized peak occurred with 4 doses of G-CSF in BM and 5 doses in PB. The HSC peaked occurred with 2 doses of G-CSF in BM and 4 doses in PB. There was a greater mobilization of MSCs than HSC, but that reason MSC/HSC was even greater in BM. The BM Cultures doses 3, 4 and 5 of G-CSF showed fibroblastoid adherent cells while in the PB cultures it was in cultures doses 2 and 3 doses of G-CSF. There was an increased production of IL-6, TNF-α in early cultivation of the SCs both BM and PB. The IFN-γ was increased in the initial phase, but peaked at the end of cultivation. The IL-2, IL-4, IL-17A and IL-10 cytokines had similar behavior reaching peak concentration in the late stage of cultivation. In the analysis of high frequency of cytokine producers for each dose of G-CSF in vivo, we observed same behavior cytokine in BM and PB cultures. Most of the cytokines produced in both BM and PB cultures of five doses showed significant differences about lower doses of G-CSF. This study suggested a possible influence of G-CSF to mobilize cells, as is known, but also in the production of several inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines and possibly stimulate and modulate the differentiation of MSCs.
