An increasing number of acute leukemias coexpressed markers normally believed to be restricted to a single lineage have been found recently. This special subgroup of leukemias have drawn a lot of attention because of their biologic and clinical significance. In a study of 100 consecutive de novo ANLL patients diagnosed by FAB criteria, T-cell antigen CD7 was identified on the leukemic blasts of 13 patients, ten of whom had M1 subtype of leukemia, myeloblastic leukemia without maturation. All the patients showed positive staining with myeloperoxidase and expressed myeloid markers CD13 and/or CD33, but lacked CD11b, a marker of more mature myeloid cells. Combined staining with myeloperoxidase and CD7 of the cells from four patients revealed coexpression of both markers on the same cells. None of the patients expressed the two other T-cell antigens CD2 or CD5. All ten patients who had DNA analysis showed germline configuration of TCR beta and gamma chain genes. One patient had chromosomal translocation involving 11q23, t(11; 19) (q23; p13), which is the site frequently associated with both myeloid and lymphoid malignancies. The clinical implications of this subgroup of patients need further study on more patients, and need longer follow-up.

Human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) receptors on human acute leukemia cells were investigated using human G-CSF iodolabeled by the lactoperoxidase method. Among various human leukemic cell lines, only cells of myelogenous lineage including HL-60, THP-1 and U937 had one type of high-affinity receptor for G-CSF, as shown by Scatchard analysis. Fresh leukemia cells from 19 patients with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) were then studied. Specific receptors for G-CSF were demonstrated on blast cells in all 19 cases, the mean number of G-CSF receptors per AML cell ranging from 95 to 1436. G-CSF receptors on AML cells appeared to be a single affinity type, although some variations were observed. The mean number of G-CSF receptors on leukemic cells from patients with either FAB M3 or FAB M2 was greater than that of cells from patients with M1 (p less than 0.01, p less than 0.10, respectively). Moreover, the mean number of receptors for G-CSF on CD13- and CD34-positive AML cells was higher than that on CD13-negative and CD34-positive AML cells (p less than 0.01), and the mean number of G-CSF receptors on CD7-positive AML cells was lower than that for CD7-negative AML cells (p less than 0.10). Since the FAB classification and surface phenotypes reflect maturation stages, our findings indicate that the distribution of G-CSF receptors, even on AML cells, may be related to the maturation process.

Ten leukemia cases with mixed phenotype were investigated in terms of clinical characteristics and cellular origin. Three patients were infants and six patients were older children. Six of them had a high leukocyte count and a mediastinal mass was found in three cases. All but one showed hepatosplenomegaly and/or lymphoadenopathy. In spite of intensive chemotherapy, most of them responded poorly. Cytochemical analysis of their leukemic cells revealed a low percentage of positivity for myeloperoxidase reactivity (less than 25%) in two cases and electron microscopic platelet peroxidase reactivity was found in one of three analyzed cases. Phenotypically, these cells all expressed CD7, and other T-lineage-associated, B-lineage-associated, and/or myeloid-associated antigens were also detected to some extent. In addition, three cases expressed CD41 and one case expressed CD56. The T-cell receptor (TCR) genes and immunoglobulin gene were in the germline configuration in seven cases. In three rearranged cases, two showed only the TCR-delta gene rearrangement, and one had both TCR-gamma and delta gene rearrangements. Cell culture studies with 12-0-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate (TPA) revealed differentiation to the T-lineage in two cases and to a myeloid lineage in one case. Megakaryocytic differentiation was detected in two cases in culture without TPA. These results suggest that the cells from these cases arose from stem cells capable of both lymphoid and nonlymphoid differentiation. Although the cells were heterogeneous with regard to their potency of differentiation, they have similar clinical characteristics. Because of poor prognosis, it is important to identify this type of leukemia, and allogenic or autologous bone marrow transplantation should be considered.

We describe a unique case of a young girl with adult type chronic myelocytic leukemia (CML). Clinically she had an extramedullary blastic crisis (BC) prior to that in peripheral blood and in bone marrow. The blasts were primitive cells and always CD7, CD33, CD34 and HLA DR-positive. During the course of illness the blasts became negative for CD5 and positive for CD41a and for platelet-peroxidase. Additional chromosomal appearances and subsequently clonal evolution were seen during the clinical course. Surface antigen modulation and morphological changes, which were observed by microscopic examination and flow cytometry, were induced by in vitro incubation. Surface antigen modulation was more induced in the presence of phytohemagglutinine-conditioned media (PHA-CM) but the effects of PHA-CM on morphological changes were not clear.

To identify the biological characteristics of so called stem cell leukemia (SCL), of which leukemic blast cells should be derived from pluripotent stem cells, immunophenotypical and genotypical analysis and response to several hematopoietic cytokines were studied in 272 cases with acute de novo leukemia. In 132 cases with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), some cases of CD19+ and/or CD7+ AML were considered as SCL. In cases with myeloperoxidase negative acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), cases of CD7 + CD1 - CD3 - CD4 - CD8 - My-Ag (myeloid antigens) +ALL, considered as those of T-precursor ALLs, and cases of HLA-DR + CD19 + CD20 - My-Ag + ALL, considered as those of B-precursor ALLs, were though to be SCL. We did not think the cases of ALL with dual genotype to be SCL, since dual genotype could not be considered as sings of ability to differentiate to multilineage but as products of the process of active V-DJ rearrangements of Ig heavy chain gene.

A case of Ph1+ chronic myeloid leukemia in blast crisis (CML-BC) is reported, in which the periodic acid Schiff and myeloperoxidase negative blasts displayed high terminal deoxynucleotidyl activity and coexpressed both B- (CD19, CD10, and CD24) and T- (CD7) lymphoid markers. In line with the immunophenotype, DNA analysis revealed a rearranged configuration of both the immunoglobulin and T-cell receptor (beta, gamma, and delta) genes. In spite of this dual B/T phenotype and genotype, the negativity of CyCD3 favors the suggestion that the target of the neoplastic event is an early B cell, with a cross lineage involvement of the putative common recombinase. However, taking into account that a normal counterpart of a biphenotypic B/T ALL has been recognized, it could be hypothesized that the leukemic transformation may have involved an oligopotent B/T lymphoid precursor. This case confirms the lineage heterogeneity of CML-BC and suggests that DNA analyses coupled to extensive immunophenotyping may allow further insight for a more precise recognition of both normal and leukemic ontogenesis.

This report demonstrates a case of transient abnormal myelopoiesis (TAM) evolving in a patient with Down's syndrome. A diagnosis was established after the patient's blast cell count decreased considerably three weeks after the initial leukemic phase. The blast population in the authors' case expressed Leu-9 (CD7), 6D1, and TdT+. Cytochemistries showed some of the blast population to be peroxidase positive and Sudan black positive. Platelet peroxidase by electron microscopic examination showed some positive blasts. Therefore, surface markers and cytochemical studies in this case suggested an abnormal proliferation involving a pluripotential stem cell capable of expressing myeloid and lymphoid characteristics. Cytogenetics was performed at birth and showed 47,XY,+21/48,XY,+21,+mar, confirming the diagnosis of Down's syndrome. The origin of the chromosomal fragment was uncertain. It was of interest that during the remission phase of his pseudoleukemia there was a concomitant decrease in the extra chromosomal fragment. Immunoglobulin and T-cell antigen receptor gene rearrangement studies showed only germline patterns, indicating that the lymphoid cells in the blast population were not clonally expanded. Therefore, immunoglobulin and T-cell antigen receptor rearrangement analysis and immunophenotyping are extremely valuable techniques in distinguishing between TAM and acute lymphoblastic leukemia in patients with Down's syndrome.

A case of chemotherapy-resistant non-Hodgkin's lymphoma simultaneously expressing T cell (CD7)-, B cell (CD19)- and myeloid (CD13, CD33)-associated surface antigens is presented. Cytochemical analysis revealed that the lymphoma cells were positive for terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase, but negative for myeloperoxidase and esterase. Rearrangements of both the T cell receptor beta chain and gamma chain genes were observed, but the immunoglobulin genes showed a germ line configuration. The rearrangement was not detected within the breakpoint cluster region on chromosome 22. These findings are considered to represent aberrant expressions of the B cell- and myeloid-associated antigens in early-stage T cell lineage lymphoma cells.

Pretreatment peripheral and/or bone marrow blasts from 14 patients with acute unclassifiable leukemia (AUL) expressing myeloid related cell-surface antigen (CDII) or megakaryocyte-platelet related cell-surface antigen (OKM6), were isolated for further analysis in this study. Among 11 cases of CD11+AUL, despite a lack of myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity, one patient's blasts possessed Auer rod in a basophilic cytoplasm and another one's blasts expressed MPO maintaining the same surface phenotype after 20 months of his clinical course. The blast from 2 cases possessed both myelomonocytic and monocyte-specific antigens on the cell-surface, whereas the remaining nine cases completely lacked monocyte-specific antigen which is detectable by monoclonal antibodies, Mo2, My4 and Leu M3 (CD14). In addition, we revealed the presence of MPO protein in the cytoplasm of 3 cases of AUL patients by cytoplasmic immunofluorescence test utilizing monoclonal antibody (MA1). Following these results, the former was diagnosed as acute myelomonocytic leukemia (AMMoL) and the latter as acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) by immunophenotypic analysis using flow cytometry (FACS IV) and cytoplasmic immunofluorescence test. We have also described three cases of acute megakaryocytic leukemia which were demonstrated by the presence of megakaryocyte-platelet-related cell-surface antigens detected by utilizing flow cytometry and monoclonal antibodies in addition to both the PPO activity which was shown by ultrastructural cytochemistry, and the emergence of differentiation antigens while culturing these leukemic cells. The blast of 1 case possessed both platelet GPIb and GPIIb/IIIa cell-surface antigens detected by 5F1 (CD36), AN51 (CDw42), and J15, P2 and HPL2 (CDw41), respectively, whereas the remaining two cases almont lacked the GPIb cell-surface antigen. Hence, the former was diagnosed as immature (pro) megakaryocytic leukemia and the latter as acute megakaryoblastic leukemia from the viewpoint of immunophenotypic analysis as will be discussed in this article. These leukemic blasts did not express both T-cell lineage antigens which are detectable by monoclonal antibodies, T6 (CD1), T11 (CD2), T3 (CD3), T4 (CD4), T1 (CD5), Tp40, Leu9 (CD7), T8 (CD8), and B-cell lineage antigens which are detectable by monoclonal antibodies, B4 (CD19), B1 (CD20), B2 (CD21) and J5 (CD10).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

A 38-year-old woman was diagnosed as acute lymphoblastic leukemia (L2) in Oct. 1985. After VP and AdVEMP therapy, complete remission was obtained. In Oct. 1987, she noticed bilateral breast tumors and leukemic cell infiltrations were shown in a biopsy specimen of the breast tumor. Bone marrow was occupied with 94 percent blasts. The second complete remission was achieved by the AdVP therapy. In Nov. 1988, she developed double vision and photophobia. The examinations of CT and MRI showed cavernous sinus tumor, and 20 percent blasts were recognized in a bone marrow aspirate. The leukemic cells were negative for peroxidase, but were positive for both lymphoid and myeloid cell surface markers (CD2, CD5, CD7, CD33). The two color flowcytometry showed that CD5 and CD33 were simultaneously expressed on the leukemic cells.
