BACKGROUND: We previously found in a murine hematopoietic system that hematopoietic stem cells show high differentiation and proliferation capacity on bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells/stromal cells (microenvironment) with "self" major histocompatibility complex (MHC). DESIGN AND METHODS: We examined whether amnion-derived adherent cells have the characteristics of mesenchymal stem cells, and whether these adherent cells can support the proliferation of umbilical cord blood-derived lineage-negative and CD34-positive cells (Lin(-)CD34(+) cells) obtained from the same fetus to a greater extent than those derived from other fetuses. RESULTS: Culture-expanded amnion-derived adherent cells expressed mesenchymal stem cell markers and HLA-ABC molecules and could differentiate into osteoblasts, adipocytes and chondrocyte-like cells, indicating that the cells have the characteristics of mesenchymal stem cells. The Lin(-)CD34(+) cells purified from the frozen umbilical cord blood were strongly positive for HLA-ABC, and contained a large number of hematopoietic stem cells. When the Lin(-)CD34(+) cells were cultured on the autologous (MHC-matched) or MHC-mismatched amnion-derived adherent cells in short-term assays (hematopoietic stem cell-proliferation) and long-term culture-initiating cell assays, greater expansion of the Lin(-)CD34(+) cells was observed in the MHC-matched combination than in MHC-mismatched combinations. The concentration of granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor in the culture supernatants of the long-term culture-initiating cell assays was significantly higher in the MHC-matched combination than in MHC-mismatched combinations. CONCLUSIONS: IT is likely that a MHC restriction exists between hematopoietic stem cells and mesenchymal stem cells/stromal cells in the human hematopoietic system and that granulocute-macropage colony-stimulating factor contributes to some extent to the preferential hematopoiesis-supporting ability of the MHC-matched amnion-derived adherent cells.
