Earlier, we described a stromal cell-free two-step clonal culture system in which murine primitive lymphohematopoietic progenitors produce myeloid and B-lymphoid lineage cells. In the same culture T-cell potential of the progenitors was maintained. We now report that, in addition to myeloid and B-lymphoid cells, putative T-cell progenitors are also produced in culture. Lineage-negative (Lin-) Ly-6A/E+ c-kit+ bone marrow cells from 5-fluorouracil-treated mice were cultured in methylcellulose in the presence of SF (Steel factor), interleukin (IL)-11, and IL-7, and the resulting primary colonies were picked and pooled. When injected into severe combined immune deficiency (scid) mice, the pooled cells reconstituted the T-cell compartment of the scid mice earlier than freshly prepared primitive marrow cells. This reconstitution activity of the pooled primary colony cells was enriched in the Ly-6A/E+ and FcgammaRII/III-/low cell fractions. Reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and DNA-PCR analyses showed that some of the primary colony cells are differentiated sufficiently to express messenger RNA (mRNA) of T-cell receptor (TCR) beta-chain and pre-TCR alpha (pTalpha) and, although not frequently, to perform Dbeta-Jbeta rearrangement of the TCR gene. Micromanipulation studies confirmed the clonal origin of myeloid lineage cells and the cells positive for the T-cell-specific transcripts and D-J rearrangement of TCR beta-chain. These results suggested that, in the presence of SF, IL-11, and IL-7, primitive lymphohematopoietic progenitors differentiate toward T-cell lineage in addition to myeloid and B-cell lineages.
