Time lapse video recordings of highly purified human hematopoietic progenitor cells in culture

Major hurdles in studies of stem cell biology include the low frequency and heterogeneity of human hematopoietic precursor cells in bone marrow and the difficulty of directly studying the effect of various culture conditions and growth factors on such cells. We have adapted the cell analyzer imaging system for monitoring and recording the morphology of limited numbers of cells under various culture conditions. Hematopoietic progenitor cells with a CD34+ CD45RAlo CD71lo phenotype were purified from previously frozen organ donor bone marrow by fluorescence activated cell sorting. Cultures of such cells were analyzed with the imaging system composed of an inverted microscope contained in an incubator, a video camera, an optical memory disk recorder and a computer-controlled motorized microscope XYZ precision stage. Fully computer-controlled video images at defined XYZ positions were captured at selected time intervals and recorded at a predetermined sequence on an optical memory disk. In this study, the cell analyzer system was used to obtain descriptions and measurements of hematopoietic cell behavior, like cell motility, cell interactions, cell shape, cell division, cell cycle time and cell size changes under different culture conditions.
