Culturing of hematopoietic progenitor cells for 24 h with IL-2 generates cytotoxic effector cells that mediate in vitro and possibly in vivo antitumor activity. We examined the effect of IL-2 incubation on progenitor cells from 24 patients with hematologic malignancies using paired autologous bone marrow (ABM) and PBSC to determine differences in hematopoietic potential. Cells were cryopreserved and stored in liquid nitrogen until conditioning therapy was completed. After thawing, cells were incubated with IL-2 for 24 h at 37 degrees C. Paired samples of ABM and PBSC from the same patient were analyzed for nucleated and mononuclear cell number, CD34 antigen expression, and colony-forming unit (CFU) activity before and after IL-2 incubation. There was a significant decrease in the average number of mononuclear cells (MNC) (x10(8)/kg) (<0.001) and CD34+ cells (x10(6)/kg) (0.006) from both ABM and PBSC after 24 h IL-2 culture (ABM MNC: 0.6+/-0.1 vs. 0.4+/-0.0, p = <0.001; PBSC MNC: 4.4+/-0.5 vs. 3.7+/-0.4, p = 0.03; ABM CD34+: 2.4+/-0.5 vs. 1.3+/-0.3, p = <0.001; PBSC CD34+: 6.6+/-1.8 vs. 5.0+/-1.2, p = 0.05). However, whereas ABM CFU/10(5) MNC plated (269.3+/-47.2 vs. 385.6+/-70.6) were significantly increased (p = 0.005), there was no change in PBSC CFU (271.0+/-47.2 vs. 257.3+/-48.5). The mean plating efficiency (%) of ABM CD34+ cells was markedly increased after IL-2 incubation (10.1+/-3.3 vs. 19.0+/-7.2, p = 0.04), although it was lower than that of PBSC CD34+ cells, which did not change significantly in culture (29.4+/-5.5 vs. 36.0+/-6.5). Additional work is in progress to determine the cause and significance of the enhanced plating efficiency of the ABM progenitor cells.
