A 63 year-old woman was referred to our hospital because of fever and increased number of blasts in the bone marrow. On physical examination she had slight hepatomegaly but no splenomegaly. Laboratory tests disclosed a hemoglobin level of 8.5 g/dl; a WBC count of 13,200/microliter with 26% blasts; a platelet count of 51,000/microliter. A bone marrow aspirate was normocellular with 74% blasts and 37% blasts were stained positive for myeloperoxidase. Cell surface markers for HLA-DR, CD10, CD19, CD13, CD33 were positive. Karyotype analysis revealed 46, XX, t (9q+; 22q-) and 45XX, -7, t (9q+; 22q-). Southern analysis showed rearrangement of immunoglobulin heavy chain but not T cell receptor beta gene. Rearrangements in M-BCR were not detected with 5' or 3' bcr probes. After 2 courses of chemotherapy, blasts decreased to 7% with recovery of normal elements and 11 out of 20 metaphases of the bone marrow cells were normal karyotype. These findings suggest that this case was de novo Ph1 positive acute leukemia which demonstrated both lymphoid and myeloid features.

Thirty-two cases of acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) were examined for expression of terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT) and rearrangements of the genes coding for the immunoglobulin heavy chain and the beta chain of the T cell receptor, in order to establish whether these two forms of lineage infidelity are linked. In 17 cases of AML with greater than or equal to 10% TdT+ cells, three cases showed evidence of gene rearrangement, two having clonal rearrangements in the immunoglobulin gene and one with a rearranged T cell receptor gene. Among 15 AML cases without significant numbers of TdT-positive blasts, three cases had rearrangements in both immunoglobulin and T cell receptor genes, while a fourth case had an immunoglobulin gene rearrangement. No relationship was seen between lymphoid gene rearrangements and expression of the lymphoid surface antigens CD7 and CD10. The lack of association between TdT expression and gene rearrangements does not support the concept of an orderly activation of the recombinase machinery in those cases of AML with features of early lymphoid differentiation.

The pattern of immunoglobulin (Ig) and T cell receptor (TCR) gene rearrangements was determined in 87 patients with acute and chronic leukaemias and myelodysplastic syndromes by Southern blot hybridisation. All 31 cases of common, B cell and null cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, and B cell chronic lymphocytic leukaemia showed Ig heavy chain (JH) rearrangement, and TCR (beta-chain) rearrangement was seen in all 5 cases of T cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. Inappropriate JH and TCR (beta) rearrangements were present in some cases of T-ALL (60%) and common acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (18%), respectively. For the 19 patients with acute leukaemias following chronic myeloid leukaemia, blastic transformation, all 4 with lymphoid transformation and 3 of the 15 with myeloid transformation had JH rearrangement, and 3 CD10-positive lymphoid transformation and 2 myeloid transformation had their TCR (beta) genes rearranged. In conclusion, the pattern of Ig and TCR gene rearrangements correlated well with the cell lineage. However, cross-lineage rearrangements were more commonly seen in patients with acute leukaemias following chronic myeloid leukaemia blastic transformation, as compared to the de novo cases.

T cell receptor delta (TCR) genes have been recently identified as rearranging during the early stages of T cell differentiation. We have analyzed the configuration of these genes in 47 unselected acute nonlymphoid leukemias. Morphology, phenotype, immunoglobulin heavy chain, and T cell receptor beta and gamma chain gene configuration were also studied. We have documented TCR delta gene rearrangements or deletions in eight cases using a genomic J delta 1 probe. The comparison of morphological, phenotypical, and molecular findings from these cases with those from control acute myeloid leukemias whose TCR delta genes were in germline configuration show that TCR delta rearrangements occur predominantly in immature leukemia exhibiting extensive lineage infidelity. The most striking feature was the frequent expression of the CD10 antigen. These data show that inappropriate gene rearrangements occur nonrandomly in myeloid leukemias and suggest that common mechanisms may be involved in the regulation of gene rearrangements and in the expression of some differentiation antigens.

We performed cytogenetic and immunologic studies of blast cells from 13 children with acute mixed lineage leukemia (AMLL) to discern patterns of chromosome alteration and antigen expression that would assist in classification of this disease entity. Six patients with 11q23 translocations--including four with the t(11;19), one with the t(9;11), and one with the t(1;11)--were characterized by a young age and hyperleukocytosis. A B cell-associated antigen (CD19) and HLA-DR antigens were expressed by blast cells from all patients; only one case was positive for the common acute lymphocytic leukemia antigen (CALLA, CD10). A myeloid-associated antigen (CD13) was expressed by blast cells from one patient at diagnosis and from another at relapse; it was also expressed by cells from the remaining four patients after brief in vitro culture without addition of differentiating agents. Four patients with t(9;22)(q34;q11) were characterized by an older age and hyperleukocytosis. Each of these cases was positive for CD13, CD19, and HLA-DR, and three were positive for CALLA. The 11q23 translocation was associated with CALLA- ALL marked by a myeloid phenotype, whereas the t(9;22) occurred in cases of acute myeloid leukemia with a CALLA+ lymphoid phenotype. One case had a 7q35-q36 translocation, which involves the region of the T cell receptor beta-chain gene. Our results suggest that karyotypic alterations can be used to refine the classification of AMLL.

We have analyzed the configuration of the immunoglobulin heavy (IgH) chain gene and the T cell receptor (TCR) chain (beta, gamma, and delta) genes in a group of 22 leukemia patients with the Philadelphia (Ph) chromosome. The group consisted of 14 patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia in blast crisis (CML-BC) and eight with Ph-positive acute leukemia (Ph + AL); these diagnoses were based on hematologic and cytogenetic features. In CML-BC patients, an IgH joining region rearrangement was detected only in patients with CD10 expression; TCR-beta, -gamma, or -delta rearrangements were associated with IgH involvement. In contrast, five of the eight Ph+ AL patients had breaks within the major breakpoint cluster region (M-BCR), and four of them had IgH involvement. Of the remaining three Ph+ M-BCR nonrearranged AL patients, only one showed IgH rearrangement. In addition, TCR-beta involvement was sometimes detected in Ph+ AL patients (two of the eight patients) with or without rearranged M-BCR, and no PH+ AL case displayed rearranged TCR-gamma. These findings suggest that genotypic changes in CML-BC are usually associated with phenotypic results of the neoplastic cells: the expression of CD10 in CML-BC patients is accompanied by the involvement of IgH with frequent TCR rearrangements which possibly are due to the common recombinase activity. On the other hand, the mechanism of the involvement of IgH in Ph+ AL patients without rearranged M-BCR seems different from that observed in Ph+ leukemia patients with rearranged M-BCR, although TCR involvement could occur whether or not the leukemia cells had a rearranged M-BCR in Ph+ AL patients.

A human T-cell line, designated as MKB-1, was established by cloning procedures in a suspension culture from a peripheral blood of a 17-year-old female patient with acute myeloblastic leukemia. The immunological marker profile of MKB-1 indicated that unlike a myeloid phenotype of the original leukemic cells, the cells were positive for CD3 (both cell surface and cytoplasm), T cell receptor (TcR) alpha/beta heterodimer, CD4, CD5, CD7, CD10, CD57 (Leu7), SN-1 and the cytoplasmic TcR beta chain. These findings indicate the T cell nature of the established cells. Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT) was also detected in 60%. We did not detect markers of human myeloid and B cell associated antigens, HLA-class II or immunoglobulin chains. Cytogenetic study revealed that the MKB-1 cells had a female hypo-tetraploid karyotype with chromosomal abnormalities including a translocation between chromosomes 10 and 14. The breakpoint of chromosome 14 of this translocation, 14q11.2, is known to be the location of TcR alpha and delta genes; t(10; 14) (q26; q11.2) is a variant type of a T cell neoplasm-associated translocation, t (10; 14) (q24; q11.2). The MKB-1 cell line is unusual in that its T cell characteristics are phenotypically and cytogenetically distinct from the original myeloid leukemia cells.

Configuration of the T cell receptor (TCR) beta, gamma, and delta chain genes, as well as immunoglobulin (Ig) heavy and light chain genes, was studied in 29 cases of E rosette-negative (pre-T cell) acute lymphoblastic leukemias that lack early B cell (CD19), myeloid (CD33), as well as most T cell associated membrane antigens such as CD1, C4, and CD8, but express CD7, cytoplasmic CD3 (cCD3), and TdT strongly, as well as CD5 and/or CD2 heterogeneously. Hematopoietic progenitor cell markers, namely HLA-DR, J5 (CD10), and My10 (CD34), further characterized this immature T ALL of putative prothymocytic phenotype. Eleven ALLs showed a germline configuration of TCR as well as Ig genes. In three cases, only TCR delta sequences were rearranged, and four additional cases were characterized by recombination of both, TCR gamma as well as TCR delta sequences. Eleven patients showed concurrent rearrangements of TCR beta, gamma, and delta chain genes. An Ig heavy chain rearrangement was observed in one case. These data support the hypothesis that, analogous to pre-B development, a cascade of TCR rearrangements occurs in pre-T cells. Moreover, findings reported here suggest that CD7, as well as CD2 and CD5, antigens appear on precursor cells prior to entry into the thymus and support a model for the developmental hierarchy of TCR genes during early T cell ontogeny.

A 20-year-old man was admitted to our hospital because of fever and knee joint pain on March 20, 1986. Physical examination revealed generalized lymphadenopathy and hepatomegaly. White blood cell count was 32,800 microliters with 74.4% blast cells. Bone marrow was hypercellular with 93.6% blast cells. Blast cells were weakly positive for acid phosphatase and PAS stainings but were negative for peroxidase, sudan black B and esterase stainings. Cell surface marker analysis of blast cells disclosed that they were positive for anti-HLA-DR, CD19, CD24, CD33 and CD38, but were negative for CD10 and CD20. Cytoplasmic immunoglobulin of blast cells was negative and TdT activity by immunofluorescent method was positive. Chromosomal analysis of bone marrow samples revealed normal karyotype. Therefore, this case was diagnosed as having acute lymphoblastic leukemia (L2) and achieved complete remission with LVP therapy consisting of 1-asparaginase, vincristine and prednisolone. Gene analysis of blast cells disclosed germ-line configuration of both the immunoglobulin heavy chain gene and T cell receptor beta chain gene. We speculated that the phenotype of leukemic cells might precede the genotype in some cases of acute leukemia.

A 26-year-old male was admitted to our hospital because of fever and leukocytosis. On admission, a white blood cell count was 28,300/microliters with 46.5% blast cells and 16.0% atypical monocytoid cells, a hemoglobin level 13.7 g/dl, and a platelet count 15.0 X 10(4)/microliters. Bone marrow contained 58.8% of peroxidase-negative blast cells. He was diagnosed as acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL L2) according to the FAB classification. Chromosome analysis revealed the marrow cells to contain 45, XY, -7, t(9; 22) (q34; q11). On surface marker analysis, the leukemic cells were positive for both lymphoid (CD10) and myeloid markers (CD13). Two color flow-cytometric analysis showed two distinct populations with CD10 and CD1 3, respectively. Rearrangements of both immunoglobulin heavy chain and T cell receptor beta-chain were observed. The "breakpoint cluster region" on chromosome 22 was not rearranged. On the basis of these findings, we thought this case being acute mixed leukemia. He was refractory to AdVP therapy and BHAC-DMP therapy. He is now under treatment with A-Triple-V therapy.
