StemSpan™ Hematopoietic Stem Cell Media and Supplements

Reproducible Hematopoietic Stem and Progenitor Cell Expansion and Differentiation

StemSpan™ serum-free hematopoietic cell expansion media promote the expansion of normal or leukemic human hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs), or their lineage-specific differentiation when supplemented with hematopoietic growth factors and/or other stimuli selected by the user. StemSpan™ expansion supplements are pre-mixed cocktails of recombinant human cytokines and other additives formulated to selectively promote the expansion of CD34+ stem and progenitor cells, or to stimulate their differentiation into erythroid, myeloid (granulocyte or monocyte) or megakaryocyte progenitor cells, when added to StemSpan™ media. Complete kits, consisting of medium, supplements, and substrate, allow for the expansion and lineage-specific differentiation of CD34+ cells into T or NK cells in stroma-free conditions. Additionally, kits which combine medium, supplements, and small molecules allow for the culture and expansion of CD34+ cells isolated from chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) or acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patient samples.

Why Use StemSpan™ Media and Expansion Supplements?

  • Components are carefully selected and screened to minimize lot-to-lot variability, consistently providing optimal culture conditions.
  • Media do not contain cytokines, allowing the flexibility to add StemSpan™ Expansion Supplements, cytokines and/or additives.
  • StemSpan™ SFEM II, combined with the appropriate Expansion Supplement, supports greater expansion of CD34+ cells and differentiation of erythroid cells, granulocytes, monocytes, and megakaryocytes, than other media tested.
  • In addition to serum- and xeno-free formulations, StemSpan™-AOF is the first commercially available animal component-free medium for culturing HSPCs.

Bar graph comparing StemSpan media to competitors in expansion of CD34+ cells

Figure 1. StemSpan™ SFEM II Serum-Free Expansion Medium Containing CC100 Cytokine Cocktail Supports Greater Expansion of Human CD34+ Cells Than Other Media Tested

Expansion of CD34+ cells normalized relative to the values obtained in StemSpan™ SFEM medium (dark gray bar) after culturing purified + CB cells for 7 days in StemSpan™ SFEM, SFEM II and AOF, and six media from other commercial suppliers (light gray bars; Competitor 1 - 6, which included, in random order, StemLine II (Sigma), HPGM (Lonza), HP01 (Macopharma), SCGM (Cellgenix), StemPro34 (Life Technologies) and X-Vivo-15 (Lonza)). All media were supplemented with StemSpan™ CC100 Cytokine Cocktail (Cat #02697). Vertical lines indicate 95% confidence limits, the range within which 95% of results fall. The numbers of cells produced in StemSpan™ SFEM II were significantly higher than in all other media, except the numbers of CB cells produced in StemSpan™-AOF (*p<0.05, paired t-test, n = 6).

Note: Data for StemSpan™-AOF shown were generated with the original phenol red-containing version (Catalog #09855). However internal testing showed that the performance of the new phenol red-free, cGMP-manufactured version of StemSpan™-AOF(Catalog #100-0130) was comparable.

Figure 2. StemSpan™ Media Support Greater Expansion of Human CD34+ and CD34bright Cells Than Other Commercial Media

Purified CB-derived CD34+ cells were cultured for 7 days in StemSpan™ media (SFEM, SFEM II, AOF, and XF, orange bars), and in five media from other suppliers (Commercial Alternative, grey bars). All media were supplemented with StemSpan™ CD34+ Expansion Supplement and UM171*. The (A) frequency and (B) cell expansion of viable CD34+ and CD34bright cells in culture were analyzed by flow cytometry as described in Figure 1. Compared to the commercial alternatives tested, StemSpan™ media showed significantly higher expansion of CD34+ and CD34bright cells (P < 0.05 when comparing StemSpan™ SFEM, SFEM II, and XF to five media from other suppliers, calculated using a one-way ANOVA followed by Dunnett’s post hoc test). The CD34bright cell population is enriched for functional stem/progenitor cells (See Figure 4). Data shown are mean ± SEM (n = 8).

*Similar results are expected when using UM729 (Catalog #72332) prepared to a final concentration of 1μM. For more information including data comparing UM171 and UM729, see Fares et al. 2014.

Note: Data for StemSpan™-AOF shown were generated with the original phenol red-containing version (Catalog #09855). However internal testing showed that the performance of the new phenol red-free, cGMP-manufactured version of StemSpan™-AOF(Catalog #100-0130) was comparable.


Figure 3. Analysis of 7 Day Expanded Mobilized Peripheral Blood CD34⁺ Cells in StemSpan™ SFEM II medium by Flow Cytometry

Purified CD34+ cells derived from G-CSF mobilized peripheral blood (mPB) were cultured for 7 days in StemSpan™ SFEM II medium (Catalog #100-0130) supplemented with StemSpan™ CD34+ Expansion Supplement (Catalog #02691) and UM729 (Catalog #72332). After 7 days, the cultured cells were stained with fluorescently labeled antibodies against CD34, CD45RA, CD90, EPCR, and CD133, in addition to viability dye Zombie Yellow™, and analyzed by flow cytometry. The horizontal dotted line on the CD34 and FSC plot (left) indicates the fluorescence minus one (FMO) control for CD34 marker expression. Sequential gates (orange) were used to determine the percentages of viable CD34bright cells, CD34brightCD90⁺CD45RA⁻ cells and CD34bright CD45RA⁻CD90⁺CD133⁺EPCR⁺ cells presented in Figures 2, 3, and 4.



Figure 4. StemSpan™ Media Support Equal or Greater Expansion of Mobilized Peripheral Blood HSPCs Compared to Other Commercial Media

Purified CD34+ cells derived from G-CSF mobilized peripheral blood (mPB) were cultured at a concentration of 10000 cells per mL in StemSpan™ media (SFEM, SFEM II, AOF, and XF, orange bars), and in six media from other suppliers (Commercial Alternatives, grey bars). All media were supplemented with StemSpan™ CD34+ Expansion Supplement and UM729 (1uM). After 7 days of culture, the (A) frequency and (B) cell expansion of viable CD34bright, CD34bright CD45RA⁻CD90⁺ and CD34bright CD45RA⁻CD90⁺CD133⁺EPCR⁺ cells were analyzed by flow cytometry, as described in Figure 1. Fold expansion was normalized to StemSpan™ SFEM ( number above bar indicates average yield per input CD34+ cell ± SEM). Compared to the competitor media tested, StemSpan™ media supported similar or higher expansion of CD34bright, CD34bright CD45RA⁻CD90⁺ and CD34bright CD45RA⁻CD90⁺CD133⁺EPCR⁺ cells (each subsequent cell subset being progressively more enriched for functional stem/progenitor cells). Data shown are mean ± SEM (n=5).



Figure 5. Estimation of Long-term SCID Repopulating Cell in Cord Blood CD34⁺ cells expanded in either StemSpan™-AOF or StemSpan™ SFEM II using Limiting Dilution Transplantation assay

Purified cord blood-derived CD34⁺ cells were cultured for 7 days in either StemSpan™-AOF or StemSpan™ SFEM II supplemented with StemSpan™ CD34⁺ Expansion Supplement and UM729 (1 μM). After 7 days of expansion, progeny of 10, 100, 250 and 2500 initial CD34⁺ cells were injected intravenously into sub-lethally irradiated NSG mice. For uncultured CD34⁺ cells, 250, 500 and 2500 cells were transplanted. The frequency of human cells expressing the pan-leukocyte marker CD45 was measured in bone marrow at ~20 weeks post-transplantation. A threshold of >0.1% of CD45⁺ cells was used to consider if mice were positive or negative for engraftment. Limiting dilution analysis was performed using the ELDA software from the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research software. LT-HSC frequencies (red lines) and 95% confidence intervals (boxes) are presented as 1/number of original CD34⁺ cell (day 0 equivalent) for each condition; n = 2 independent experiments performed, 2-7 mice per group per experiment. Significance level * p< 0.001 (Chi-square test). StemSpan™ SFEM II and StemSpan™-AOF expanded cells results in ~36 and ~17-fold increase in LT-HSC compared to fresh CD34⁺ cells, with SRC frequencies of 1/23, 1/48, 1/835 for StemSpan™ SFEM II, StemSpan™-AOF and fresh control respectively.

Figure 13. StemSpan™ Media Support Equal or Greater Expansion of Primitive Human CD34brightCD90+CD45RA- Cells Than Other Commercial Media

Purified CB-derived CD34+ cells were cultured for 7 days in StemSpan™ media (SFEM, SFEM II, AOF, and XF, orange bars), and in five media from other suppliers (Commercial Alternative, grey bars). All media were supplemented with StemSpan™ CD34+ Expansion Supplement and UM171*. The (A) frequency and (B) cell expansion of viable CD34+CD90+CD45RA- (solid) and CD34brightCD90+CD45RA- (dotted overlay) cells in culture were analyzed by flow cytometry as described in Figure 1. Compared to the competitor media tested, StemSpan™ media showed similar or significantly higher expansion of CD34brightCD90+CD45RA- cells (P < 0.05 when comparing StemSpan™ SFEM II and XF to five media from other suppliers, calculated using one-way ANOVA followed by Dunnett’s post hoc test). The CD34brightCD90+CD45RA- cell population is highly enriched for functional stem/progenitor cells. Data shown are mean ± SEM (n = 8).

*Similar results are expected when using UM729 (Catalog #72332) prepared to a final concentration of 1μM. For more information including data comparing UM171 and UM729, see Fares et al. 2014.

Note: Data for StemSpan™-AOF shown were generated with the original phenol red-containing version (Catalog #09855). However internal testing showed that the performance of the new phenol red-free, cGMP-manufactured version of StemSpan™-AOF(Catalog #100-0130) was comparable.

Purified CB-derived CD34+ cells were cultured for 2 days in select StemSpan™ media (StemSpan™ SFEM II or StemSpan™-AOF, orange bars), or five xeno-free media formulations from other suppliers (gray bars). All media were supplemented with StemSpan™ CD34+ Expansion Supplement and UM171*. Cells were then electroporated using Arcitect™ CRISPR-Cas9 RNP complexes containing crRNA:tracrRNA targeting beta-2-microglobulin (B2M), and cultured for an additional 4 days in the same conditions. Knockout efficiency as measured by staining for MHC-I and analyzing by flow cytometry, was similar in all media tested, ~70-80%. (A) The percentage of CD34+ cells and (B) CD34+CD90+CD45RA-cells were quantified by flow cytometry 4 days post-electroporation. Data shown are mean + SD (n = 4 donors; **P < 0.01).

*Similar results are expected when using UM729 (Catalog #72332) prepared to a final concentration of 1 μM. For more information including data comparing UM171 and UM729, see Fares et al., 2014.

Bar graph of colony count in CML cells cultured in stemspan with UM171

Figure 15. Colony-Forming Potential of CD34+ CML Cells is Maintained During Culture

CML cells were assayed in colony assays using MethoCult™ H4435 Enriched medium directly after CD34+ cell isolation (day 0) or after 7 or 14 days of expansion without or with UM171 (as described in Figure 2). After 14 days of culture in StemSpan™ SFEM II with CD34+ expansion supplement (Exp) with or without UM171, colonies were (A) imaged with STEMvision™ and counted manually from digital images. (B) CFU output expressed as the total number of colonies per original input CD34+ cell. Numbers above each of the individual bars indicate the proportion of BCR-ABL positive colonies, measured by qRT-PCR on individual plucked colonies across 6 different samples (8-12 colonies were plucked for each sample per condition). SFEM II supplemented with CD34+ Expansion Supplement (Exp) supports the expansion of colony-forming progenitor cells in culture. UM171 further promotes colony forming progenitor cell output (~3.5-fold expansion at day 7 and ~8-fold at day 14). Single-colony qRT-PCR analysis revealed that colonies generated from samples on day 0, and colonies generated from cells expanded for 7 and 14 days, were predominantly BCR-ABL+ but also that normal BCR-ABL- progenitor cells were present at low frequencies. Data shown are mean ± SEM (n = 6). P-values were calculated using a two-tailed paired Student’s t-test (*P < 0.05).

AML cells, after CD34+ cell isolation (day 0) or after 7 or 14 days of expansion without or with UM171 (as described in Figure 3), were plated in colony assays with MethoCult™ H4435 Enriched medium. After 14 days of incubation, colonies were (A) imaged with STEMvision™ and counted manually from digital images. (B) CFU output expressed as the total number of colonies per original input CD34+ cell. SFEM II supplemented with CD34+ Expansion Supplement (Exp) supports the expansion of colony-forming progenitor cells in culture. Addition of UM171 further promotes colony-forming progenitor cell output (~3-fold expansion at day 7 and ~4-fold at day 14). Data shown are mean ± SEM (n = 6). P-values were calculated using a two-tailed paired Student’s t-test (*P < 0.05).
