A new monocytic leukemia cell line (KP-1) was established from a 2-y-old Japanese girl with acute monocytic leukemia. The KP-1 cells were maintained in suspension culture with a doubling time of 96 h. The cells were positively stained with alpha-naphtyl butyrate esterase, but not with naphthol AS-D chloroacetate esterase, myeloperoxidase, and periodic acid-Schiff reagent. Cell surface marker analysis revealed that the cells were CD4, CD11a, CD11c, CD13, CD14, CD18, CD33, and HLA-DR positive. Karyotype analysis revealed near diploidy (47 XX) and a translocation t(11;19) was found. When treated with 12-o-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate, KP-1 cells became tightly adherent, showed the enhanced reactivity for alpha-naphtyl butyrate esterase, and produced several monokines such as IL-1 beta, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and macrophage colony-stimulating factor. Immunoelectron microscopy demonstrated that the human macrophage scavenger receptor was expressed after 12-o-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate treatment, and the cells accumulated a large amount of cholesterol esters in the presence of acetylated LDL. Compared with another human monocytic leukemia cell line, THP-1, KP-1 expressed scavenger receptor and accumulated cholesterol ester more rapidly in the presence of 12-o-tetradecanoyl phorbol-13-acetate and acetylated LDL. Scatchard analysis using 125I-labeled acetylated LDL revealed a typical saturation curve with an apparent kd of 1.7 x 10(-7) M and 3400 binding sites per cell. KP-1 retained the characteristics of monocyte-macrophage lineage cells and will facilitate the in vitro studies of the pathologic and physiologic roles of scavenger receptors.

A 77-year-old man, in whom chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) had been diagnosed in October 1990, was admitted to hospital with right chest pain in November 1992. Bone marrow examination revealed the chronic phase of CML. Chest X-ray showed right pleural effusion. The cells from pleural effusion were positive for CD7, CD13, CD33, CD41a, including CD33, CD41a-double positive cells in 57.5%. Southern blot analysis revealed 3'bcr rearrangement. Electron microscopic examination showed the presence of platelet peroxidase. An abnormal karyotype with various additional chromosomes was observed. This is a rare case of extramedullary pleural myelo-megakaryoblastic biphenotypic crisis during the chronic phase of CML.

A myeloid-antigen-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (My+ALL) cell line (EU-1) was established from the bone marrow cells of a child with apparent ALL. By morphology, cytochemistry and fluorescent-antibody phenotyping, EU-1 cells appeared to be lymphoblastic (L1 morphology, TdT+, CD10+, CD19+). However, by a sensitive immunocytochemical assay, EU-1 cells additionally displayed several myeloid antigens (CD13, CD14, CD33) not detected by flow-cytometry. Furthermore, EU-1 cells were cytochemically and immunocytochemically negative for myeloperoxidase (MPO) but positive for MPO mRNA by Northern blot analysis. After incubation with dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), myeloid cell surface antigens were detected on EU-1 cells by flow cytometry, and a marked decrease in MPO mRNA expression was observed. These results demonstrate that EU-1 is a unique ALL cell line representing a significant subset of pediatric ALL patients who also express myeloid antigens and have poor prognosis.

Acute promyelocytic leukemia represents 5-10% of acute myeloid leukemia cases (AML) recorded in the literature, occurring more frequently in young adults. It has a special clinical and biological behaviour when compared to the other forms of AML, being characterized by a particular morphology of blast cells (M3 in FAB classification), translocation of chromosomes 15;17, and disseminated intravascular coagulation at diagnosis or after the onset of chemotherapy. Within this AML subgroup there are 2 morphological subsets called the hypergranular promyelocytic leukemia and the hypogranular or variant form. We have studied clinical and laboratory aspects of 19 cases of AML M3 out of 217 AML cases, and observed a high incidence of failure to recognize the M3 variant form, although its diagnosis has been mainly based on cytomorphology. Only 4 out of 8 cases of the variant form received in our laboratory were correctly diagnosed, being the other 4 cases wrongly identified as the myelomonocytic subset of AML (M4). Immunophenotyping with monoclonal antibodies using CD2 and CD7 as T cell markers, CD10 and CD19 as B cell markers and CD33, CD13, CD14, CD15 and anti MPO as myeloid markers is a complementary diagnostic tool that permits solving difficult cases. It is important to classify AML correctly because of the special therapeutic and prognostic features of AML M3, which differently from other AML forms, has been successfully treated with cellular differentiating agents.

A 25-year-old man noted swelling of the right cervical lymph nodes in October 1983. Diagnosis of malignant lymphoma was made on the basis of pathological examination of biopsies. Despite both chemotherapy and irradiation treatment, blast cells appeared in the peripheral blood and bone marrow in April 1984. Immunophenotypic analysis demonstrated that the blasts in the patient's peripheral blood expressed CD13, CD33, CD41a, and no markers for T or B lymphocytes, suggesting that he had been suffering from megakaryocytic sarcoma. We established a new cell line derived from the blasts in the peripheral blood, designated KH184. KH184 cells expressed glycoprotein (GP) Ib (CD42b) and GPIIb/IIIa (CD41a), while platelet peroxidase (PPO) activity was negative in an ultrastructural study. Both Northern blot and flow cytometric analysis of surface antigens and DNA content revealed that treatment with 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA) did not induce the maturation of these cells. Various cytokines such as interleukin 3 (IL-3), interleukin 6 (IL-6), and leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) had no effect in promoting the growth of KH184 cells. KH184 cells expressing CD41a seem to possess unusual characteristics. KH184 cells, human GPIIb- and GPIIIa-positive leukemia cells, which lack response to TPA-induced differentiation, provide a new and unique model for the characterization of factors that are implicated in the terminal differentiation of megakaryocytes, and should aid in studies of the mechanism underlying the occurrence of megakaryocytic sarcoma.

The enzyme myeloperoxidase (MPO) is the most specific marker of myeloid lineage. The recognition of acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) with minimally differentiation (AML-M0) is established with methods that include myeloid markers CD13/CD33 and detection of MPO in blast cells by immunological techniques or electron microscopy cytochemistry (EM). We have analysed the presence of MPO in leukaemic blast cells by conventional cytochemistry and immunological methods using a monoclonal antibody anti-MPO (CLB-MPO1) in 121 cases of acute leukaemia. The aim of the study was to investigate the sensitivity of this McAb to identify AML-M0, as CD13/CD33 can be expressed in some cases of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) and EM cytochemistry is not always available in many laboratories. Anti-MPO was positive in all cases of AML (M1-M5) which were positive by Sudan Black B reaction in similar or higher percentage ratio for each case, although in some of them did not label with CD13/CD33 tested by IF and IPc techniques. Based on the anti-MPO positivity, 5 out of 10 cases called undifferentiated leukaemia (AUL) were reclassified as AML-M0, though 4 cases were CD13/CD33 negative. Furthermore, after analysing the anti-MPO expression among 32 cases of ALL, we had to reclassify four of them as acute biphenotypic leukaemia. We conclude that anti-MPO is a very sensitive and reliable tool in AML diagnosis and has an important role in distinguishing minimally differentiated AML and biphenotypic acute leukaemia from AUL and ALL.

The characteristics of very immature T-lineage blasts including co-expression of myeloid properties and the distinctions between the phenotypes of pro-thymic (CD7+ CD5+ CD2+ CD3- CD4- CD8- or more immature) and thymic (CD3- CD4+ CD8+ or more mature) blasts are shown. The lineage-derivation of CD7+ CD5- CD2- and CD7+ CD5+ CD2- lymphoid blasts was investigated based on the gene expression of CD3 epsilon, CD3 delta and myeloperoxidase (MPO). The former group included 4 categories; undifferentiated blasts without commitment to myeloid or T-lineage, T-lineage blasts with mRNA of CD3 epsilon, T/myeloid blasts with mRNA of CD3 epsilon and MPO and blasts with mRNA of MPO. The latter included 2 categories; T-lineage blasts with CD3 epsilon and CD3 delta mRNA and T/myeloid blasts with CD3 epsilon, CD3 delta and MPO mRNA. Thus, CD3 epsilon was expressed at a more immature stage than CD3 delta. The blasts at the pro-thymic stage were different from those at the thymic stage in several respects. The T-cell receptor (TCR) beta-chain gene showed a germ-line configuration in most pro-thymic blasts. The CD13/CD33, CD11b and class II MHC antigens were expressed very frequently in the pro-thymic stage. The CD21 antigen was most selectively expressed at the thymic stage. Pro-thymic blasts were of RA type of CD45 antigen, while thymic blasts were of RO type. Recombination activation gene-1 (RAG-1) was only limitedly expressed at the pro-thymic stage, but was highly expressed at the thymic stage. These findings indicate that there are distinctive differences before and after the initiation of clonal selection which is unique and thymus-specific, and that the neoplastic cells represent each stage of T-lineage differentiation involving the unique thymic function.

A novel cell line (KH88) was established from a patient with chronic myelogenous leukemia in blastic crisis. The leukemic blasts had the features of undifferentiated blasts with basophilic agranular cytoplasm and they were focally positive for acid phosphatase and alpha-naphthyl acetate esterase. CD36, CD33, HLADR, and CD71 were expressed on the surfaces of the blast cells. Most blasts were positive for platelet peroxidase activity, and some of them had granules containing aggregates of ferritin molecules. These findings were compatible with those of 'early' erythroblastic leukemia, this established cell line (KH88) having similar characteristics, and actually producing hemoglobin A and hemoglobin F. Although the KH88 cells were negative for megakaryocytic markers, they were induced to express CD41 by phorbol ester. Further, a few KH88 cells were positive for myeloperoxidase. This cell line was thus revealed to have the capacity to differentiate into three lineages, providing a useful model for studying the differentiation of multipotential stem cells. Moreover, a subline of KH88 had a peculiar chromosome abnormality, del(3)(q21q25); it would be useful to study the significance of this chromosomal abnormality.

We report two cases of Philadelphia chromosome (Ph)-positive acute leukemia with definite myeloid markers. Ph was the sole chromosomal abnormality at presentation, and neither eosinophilia, basophilia, thrombocytosis nor hepatosplenomegaly was present. In both cases, Ph+ myeloblasts showed positive stain for myeloperoxidase and naphthol ASD chloroacetate esterase, which fulfilled the FAB criteria of acute myelogenous leukemia (AML). Ph+ myeloblasts co-expressed myeloid and B-lymphoid antigens (CD10, CD13, CD19 and CD33). In case 1, myeloblasts rearranged M-BCR, and the expression of M-BCR/ABL chimeric RNA was demonstrated by using the reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). They also clonally rearranged IGH. Ph clone disappeared on cytogenetic analysis in remission, and granulocytes in remission did not have rearranged M-BCR. In case 2, morphocytochemically distinct myeloid and lymphoid blast populations were seen. Myeloblasts and lymphoblasts were enriched > 96% as CD19-/CD33+ and CD19+/CD33- populations, respectively. Both of them possessed the identical rearrangement of IGH and M-BCR, indicating a common leukemic progenitor cell origin. Furthermore, m-BCR/ABL was detected in addition to M-BCR/ABL on RT-PCR. Accordingly, both cases were diagnosed as de novo Ph+ acute leukemia rather than as chronic myelogenous leukemia in blastic crisis. Their mixed B-lymphoid/myeloid characteristics strongly suggest that so-called 'Ph+ AML' is derived from Ph+ myeloid/B-lymphoid stem cells.

A novel biphenotypic cell line carrying t(9;11)(p22;q23), TA-1, was established from the peripheral blood of a patient with acute undifferentiated leukemia. The TA-1 cells simultaneously expressed lymphoid (CD19, CD20) and myeloid characteristics (CD13, CD33, myeloperoxidase) on the same cells. When the cells were treated with tetraphorbol acetate, cytoplasmic mu chain was induced and the fluorescence intensity of CD13 was increased. These findings suggested that TA-1 cells have a bidirectional maturation capacity, as well as biphenotypic features. Molecular analysis disclosed differences in the rearranged bands, corresponding to one allele of the immunoglobulin heavy chain gene (IgH) and the T cell antigen receptor gamma gene (TCR gamma), between the non-cultured cells and the cell line, while showing identical rearranged patterns of another allele of both these genes and the TCR beta gene. These results suggest that the non-cultured cells and the established cell line have the same clonal origin and that the latter is a clonal descendant of the former.
