Studies on the mechanism of anemia in mice of genotype S1/S1/sup d/ have implicated the hematopoietic stroma (the hematopoietic inductive microenvironment, HIM) rather than hematopoietic stem cells as the site of the defect. Using methylcellulose-supported bone marrow culture systems, we have observed, in addition to classical hematopoietic colonies, the formation of surface associated fibroblastic plaques that could stimulate hematopoietic colony growth. These plaques were hypothesized to be derived from bone marrow stroma precursors. In view of the reported stromal-based defect in S1/S1/sup d/ mice, studies were initiated, using our culture system, to determine if abnormalities exist in the plaque-forming potentials of these mice. Relative to controls, bone marrow derived from S1/S1/sup d/ mice exhibited a significant decrease in hematopoietic colony-forming units in culture, but no differences were apparent in the absolute numbers of fibroblastic plaque-forming units or in the ability of such plaques once derived to stimulate hematopoietic colony growth when overlain with fresh normal bone marrow preparations. Quantitative studies on the bone marrow of the S1/S1/sup d/ mice revealed a marked reduction in total nucleated cells per femur. The importance of evaluating the results of bone marrow cultures in an absolute (i.e., number of units per femur) rather than a relative (i.e., number of units forming in a constant cell inoculum) term was underlined by these studies.
