Objective. It has been difficult to characterize murine bone marrow (BM)-derived mesenchymal progenitor cells (MPCs) because of contamination with hematopoietic cells. We took advantage of the rapid proliferation of MPCs after replating to enrich murine MPCs by transfection with a retroviral vector carrying both LacZ and the selective neomycin resistance (neoR) gene.Materials and Methods. Freshly harvested BM cells from mice were incubated with BAG retroviral vector produced by amphotropic psi -CRIP or ecotropic psi -CRE producer cells for 48 hours and grown in the presence of G418.Results. Cells incubated in psi -CRIP supernatant formed colonies composed of large homogeneous cells that were free of CD45(+) cells, but cells incubated in psi -CRE supernatant did not form stromal cell colonies. In the undifferentiated state, the cells displayed a fibroblast-like phenotype with low alkaline phosphatase activity. However, upon treatment with dexamethasone or 5-azacytidine, the retrovirally transduced cells differentiated into oil-red-O-positive adipocytic cells and osteogenic cells generating von Kossa-positive bone nodules. Osteogenic supplements composed of beta -glycerophosphate, dexamethasone, and ascorbic acid induced an increase in alkaline phosphatase activity and acute osteogenesis associated with early cell detachment. Subcutaneous injection with retrovirally transduced cells into day 1 newborn mice of the same strain produced ectopic calcium depositions surrounded by X-gal(+) cells,Conclusions. Retroviral selection of cycling adherent cells is an effective approach for enrichment of MPCs. (C) 2000 International Society for Experimental Hematology. Published by Elsevier Science Inc.
