    Notes: Summary The use of mathematical models in haematology is shown by some examples concerning stem cell kinetics, erythropoiesis and thrombopoiesis. At first, model assumptions are formulated which include the biological knowledge and some regulatory hypotheses. Then, the reaction of the model on stimulation and suppression is calculated. Finally, by comparison with experimental or clincal data one can evaluate how far the model assumptions are sufficient to understand the measurements. Thus one can exclude wrong hypotheses and identify the important regulatory influences.

    Notes: Summary A previously described mathematical model of the hematopoietic stem cell system has been extended to permit a detailed understanding of the data during and after hypoxia. The model includes stem cells, erythroid and granuloid progenitors and precursors. Concerning the intramedullary feedback mechanisms two basic assumptions are made: 1) The fraction “a” of CFU-S in active cell cycle is regulated. Reduced cell densities of CFU-S, progenitors or precursors lead to an accelerated stem cell cycling. Enlarged cell densities suppress cycling. 2) The self renewal probability “p” of CFU-S is also regulated. The normal steady state is described by p=0.5, indicating that on statistical average each dividing mother stem cell is replaced by one daughter stem cell, while the second differentiates. Diminished cell densities of CFU-S or enlarged densities of progenitors and precursors induce a more intensive self renewal (p〉0.5), such that the stem cell number increases. The self renewal probability declines (p〈0.5) if too many CFU-S or too few progenitors and precursors are present. The model reproduces bone marrow data for CFU-S, BFU-E, CFU-C, CFU-E, 59 Fe-uptake and nucleated cells in hypoxia and posthypoxia. Although the ratio of differentiation into the erythroid and granuloid cell lines is kept constant in the model, a changing ratio of CFU-E and CFU-C results. The model suggests that stem cells and progenitor cells are regulated by a regulatory interference of erythropoiesis and granulopoiesis.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary Anaerobic culture conditions (95% argon/5% CO2) caused a slightly greater increase in total lipids of Ehrlich ascites tumor cells than a gas phase of 20% O2, 75% N2, 5% CO2. Whereas the rate of [U-14C]acetate incorporation into total lipids and lipid-subclasses rose markedly in the absence of oxygen, a drastic decrease of [U-14C]pyruvate and [1-14C]octanoate incorporation as well as a 30% reduction of 3H incorporation into lipids from tritiated water were observed under these conditions. Since profound changes in the metabolic state of cells cause alterations in the specific activity of the acetyl-CoA pool but do not alter the specific activity of intracellular water, this precursor is considered to be an adequate monitor for lipogenesis under aerobic and anaerobic culture conditions. Therefore, it is concluded that Ehrlich ascites tumor cells are not able to reoxidize NADH/NADPH in the absence of oxygen by a stimulation of biosynthesis of fatty acids as is discussed to be the case in normal cells. The slight increase in total lipids of anaerobically cultured cells seems to be the result of an imbalance between normal uptake and impaired utilization of lipids from serum-supplemented culture medium.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Unter anaeroben Kulturbedingungen, (95% Argon 5% CO2) stieg der Gesamtlipidgehalt in Ehrlich Ascites Tumorzellen etwas stärker an als unter aeroben Bedingungen (20% O2, 75% N2, 5% CO2). In Abwesenheit von Sauerstoff war der Einbau von [U-14C]Acetat in die Gesamtlipidfraktion als auch in einzelne Lipidklassen, deutlich erhöht, wohingegen ein drastischer Abfall der Einbauraten aus [U-14C]Pyruvat und [1-14C]Oktanoat sowie eine signifikante Verminderung des Einbaus von 3H-Wasser unter diesen Kulturbedingungen beobachtet wurde. Da die spezifische Aktivität von intrazellulärem Wasser auch unter tiefgreifenden Änderungen des metabolischen Zustandes der Zellen praktisch konstant bleibt, wird 3H-Wasser als die zuverlässigste Vorstufe zur Messung der Lipidbiosynthese unter aeroben und anaeroben Kulturbedingungen angesehen. Aus den Ergebnissen wird geschlossen, daß Ehrlich Ascites Tumorzellen nicht, wie es für Normalgewebe angenommen wird, in der Lage sind, NADH/NADPH bei Ausschluß von Sauerstoff durch erhöhte Fettsäuresynthese zu, reoxidieren. Der beobachtete Anstieg im Gesamtlipidgehalt von anaerob kultivierten Zellen erklärt sich wahrscheinlich durch ein Ungleichgewicht zwischen normaler Aufnahme und gehemmtem Abbau von exogenen Lipiden.
