Enhanced reconstitution and autoreconstitution of the hematopoietic compartment
The present disclosure relates to the acceleration of hematopoietic compartment reconstitution in a subject in need of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation by administering a composition having a protein transduction domain-MYC (PTD-MYC) fusion protein in combination with hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and to the enhancement of hematopoietic compartment autoreconstitution in a subject in need thereof by administering a composition having a protein transduction domain-MYC (PTD-MYC) fusion protein.
1. A method of enhancing hematopoietic compartment reconstitution in a subject in need of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, the method comprising:
administering to the subject, a therapeutically effective amount of a treated population of hematopoietic stem cells to reconstitute the hematopoietic compartment of the subject, wherein the treated population of hematopoietic stem cells is a population of hematopoietic stem cells that are treated with a composition comprising a MYC-composition, a Bcl-2-composition, or both, for less than or about 1 day prior to administering to the subject, wherein the MYC composition and the Bcl-2 composition each comprise a protein transduction domain (PTD), and
wherein hematopoietic compartment reconstitution is enhanced compared to hematopoietic compartment reconstitution in a subject that is administered a population of hematopoietic stem cells that were not treated with the composition comprising a MYC-composition, a Bcl-2-composition, or both.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the population of hematopoietic stem cells is treated with the composition comprising a MYC-composition, a Bcl-2-composition, or both, for about 1 hour prior to administering to subject.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the population of hematopoietic stem cells is treated with the composition comprising a MYC-composition.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the population of hematopoietic stem cells is treated with the composition comprising a MYC-composition and a Bcl-2-composition.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the Bcl-2-composition is a PTD-Bcl-2 fusion protein.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the MYC-composition is a TAT-MYC fusion protein.
7. A method of enhancing hematopoietic compartment reconstitution in a subject, the method comprising: administering a therapeutically effective amount of a composition comprising a MYC-composition, a Bcl-2-composition, or both, to a subject in need thereof, wherein the MYC composition and the Bcl-2 composition each comprises a protein transduction domain (PTD), and wherein hematopoietic compartment reconstitution is enhanced compared to hematopoietic compartment reconstitution in a subject that is not administered the composition.
8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the MYC-composition is a PTD-MYC fusion protein.
9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the MYC-composition is a TAT-MYC fusion protein.
10. The method of claim 7 , further comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of a second composition comprising hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) to achieve hematopoietic compartment reconstitution in the subject.
11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the composition comprising a MYC-composition is administered before, after, or concurrently with the administering of the second composition.
12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the composition comprising a MYC-composition is administered at least 1 day after the administering of the second composition.
13. The method of claim 10 , wherein the second composition comprising HSCs was cultured in the presence of a MYC-composition, a Bcl-2-composition, or both before the administering of the second composition.
14. The method of claim 10 , wherein the second composition comprises conditionally immortalized hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs).
