Purified fibrinogen at concentrations of 3-30 nM has been found to stimulate continuous growth of human lymphoid and myeloid cell lines under serum-free conditions. A strong proliferative response resulted from the synergism elicited by the addition of fibrinogen to transferrin-supplemented medium. This effect was observed with the pre-B-cell line Raji, the T lymphoma-derived JM, and the monocytic cell line U 937, either at high or low cell densities. With the promyelocytic cell line HL 60, fibrinogen did not shorten the doubling time of cultures seeded at high cell densities (2 x 10(5) cells per ml). However, at cell densities lower by 2 orders of magnitude and in the same medium, it promoted growth with a doubling time similar to that obtained at high cell concentrations. Fibrinogen also was found to increase the plating efficiency and colony size when human bone marrow cells were cultured in semisolid medium containing serum. In long-term bone marrow liquid cultures without fibrinogen, colony-forming cells were no longer detected after 6 weeks. In those cultured with fibrinogen, approximately equal to 50 granulocyte-macrophage colonies per 10(5) cells were obtained after 6 weeks, and 10, after 12 weeks. Purified fibrinogen fragment D possessed a stimulating activity similar to that of the intact fibrinogen molecule. This fragment cannot form fibrin, thus eliminating fibrin as a source of the mitogenic effect.

Fibrinogen and its fragment D stimulate proliferation of human hemopoietic cells in vitro.
