We have analyzed the effect of stem cell factor (SCF), alone or in combination with other growth factors, on the generation of colony-forming cells (CFC) and on the expansion of hematopoiesisin vitrofrom light density, soybean agglutinin−, CD34+cord blood cells under serum-deprived conditions. The growth factors were either added only once at the onset of the culture or added every few days when the cultures were demidepopulated and refed with fresh medium. No growth factor, alone, generated CFC or expanded hematopoiesis under these conditions. However, SCF, in combination with interleukin 3 (IL-3) or with “late-acting factors” (granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) or erythropoietin (Epo)), generated large numbers of mature cells as well as CFC. The number of CFC generated depended on the refeeding procedure adopted. In cultures never refed, the CFC numbers increased from > 160 CFC/culture at day 0 to > 3000 CFC at day 10. The CFC numbers stayed above the input levels for 25 days before declining. Almost no CFC were detectable after one month. In contrast, in cultures regularly refed, CFC were detectable for at least 40 days. The lineages of the mature cells and the types of CFC generated varied with the different growth factors. In the presence of SCF plus IL-3, erythroid burst-forming cells (BFU-E) and granulocyte/macrophage colony-forming cells (GM-CFC) were generated and erythroid as well as myelomonocytic precursors were present among the differentiated cells. In contrast, in the presence of SCF and G-CSF or Epo, the progenitor cells as well as the differentiated cells were dictated by the late-acting growth factor (i.e. mostly G-CFC and myeloid cells in the presence of SCF and G-CSF vs. BFU-E, erythroid colony-forming cells (CFU-E) and erythroblasts in the presence of SCF and Epo). Thus, marked expansion of erythropoiesis and granulopoiesis can be achievedin vitroby as few as two factors — SCF acting as the early factor along with the appropriate late-acting factor.
