Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and their progenies are important supporting cells in the bone marrow (BM) microenvironment. However, the function and kinetics of MSCs post-hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) remain unknown. In the present study, MSCs were cultured from a total of 76 BM samples from 15 patients receiving HSCT. Colony-forming unit fibroblasts in BM before pre-conditioning and 1, 3, 6 and 9 months post-HSCT were cultured and counted to quantify MSCs. Hematopoiesis-supporting activity of MSCs was observed with long-term culture of hematopoietic progenitors. An inhibitory effect of MSCs on in vitro lymphocyte proliferation was also observed. Results showed that post-HSCT MSCs supported in vitro hematopoiesis and inhibited lymphocyte growth. Moreover, the quantity of MSCs was reduced at an early stage and restored to baseline level 9 months post-transplant. The results indicate that functional MSCs remain present in the BM microenvironment, and these findings shed light on the understanding of BM microenvironment reconstitution post-HSCT.
