Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is a type of acute leukemia showing unique clinical, morphological and cytogenetic features. A skin infiltration by APL cells is an extremely rare occasion, but there have been several case reports of leukemia cutis in APL, in which all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) may have induced the skin infiltration. However, no immunohistochemical analyses of the APL cells in the skin have been done to date. A 30-year-old woman with APL developed multiple reddish purple nodules on the extremities in her second complete remission. Histological findings revealed a dense infiltration of medium to large atypical cells, which were positive for myeloperoxidase, throughout the dermis. Despite the conventional chemotherapy and ATRA therapy she died from disseminated intravascular coagulation during her third relapse. Leukemic cells in the peripheral blood before the treatment with ATRA revealed CD3-/CD4-/CD5-/CD7-/CD8-/CD10-/CD13++/CD14-/CD19 -/ CD20-/CD33++/CD38++/CD41-/Ia-, but they expressed CD3-/CD4-/CD5-/CD7++/ CD8-/CD10-/CD13++/CD14-/CD19-/CD20-/CD33++ /CD38++/CD41+/Ia+ after the treatment. We suggest that the alternation of the surface molecules on the tumor cells is closely associated with the skin infiltration of APL cells.

The MLL gene is fused with the cAMP-responsive element binding protein-binding protein (CBP) gene in t(11;16)(q23;p13), which has been reported to be associated with therapy-related acute leukemia. We established a novel myeloid cell line, SN-1, from a patient with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia with t(11;16)(q23;p13) having in-frame MLL-CBP fusion transcripts. The majority of the SN-1 cells were positive for myeloperoxidase when examined using an electron microscope and expressed CD13, CD33, CD56, and HLA-DR antigens, but not CD7, CD10, CD19, CD34, or CD41 antigens, suggesting that these cells are of myeloid origin. SN-1 cells underwent functional and morphological differentiation when treated with actinomycin D or sodium butyrate, but not with all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA) or 1alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (VD3). Exposure of SN-1 cells to ATRA hardly affected cell growth and differentiation, whereas the growth of HL-60 and NB4 cells treated with ATRA was effectively inhibited, and differentiation into mature granulocytes was induced. SN-1 cells were relatively insensitive to VD3 with respect to inhibiting the cell growth and inducing the ability to reduce nitroblue tetrazolium, lysozyme activity, and morphological differentiation, although the expression of CD11b was slightly induced by VD3. These results suggest that the cell line was impaired in the signal transduction systems of ATRA and VD3. This cell line should be useful for the study of the role of CBP as a transcriptional regulator in leukemia differentiation and for the functional analysis of the MLL-CBP fusion gene, which will provide new insights into leukemogenesis caused by 11q23 translocations.

Although umbilical cord blood (CB) is increasingly being used as an alternative to bone marrow (BM) as a source of transplantable hematopoietic stem cells (HSC), information on the hematopoietic repopulating ability of CB HSC is still limited. We recently established a xenotransplantation system in NOD/Shi-scid mice to evaluate human stem cell activity. In the present study, we transplanted 5 to 10 x 10(4) CB CD34(+) cells into six NOD/Shi-scid mice treated with anti-asialo GM1 antiserum to investigate the hematopoietic repopulating ability of CB. The BM of all recipients contained human CD45(+) cells 10 to 12 weeks after the transplantation (43.8 +/- 17.7%). Clonal culture of the recipient BM cells revealed the formation of various types of human hematopoietic colonies, including myelocytic, erythroid, megakaryocytic, and multilineage colonies, indicating that CB HSC can differentiate into hematopoietic progenitors of various lineages. However, the extent of the differentiation and maturation differed with each lineage. CD13(+)/CD14(+)/CD33(+) myelocytic cells were mainly repopulated in BM and peripheral blood (PB). While CD41(+) megakaryocytic cells and platelets were present, few glycophorin A(+)CD71(+) or hemoglobin alpha-containing erythroid cells were detected. CD19(+) B cells were the most abundantly repopulated in NOD/Shi-scid mice, but their maturational stage differed among the hematopoietic organs. Most of the BM CD19(+) cells were immature B cells expressing CD10 but not surface immunoglobulin (Ig) M, whereas more mature CD19(+)CD10(-) surface IgM(+) B cells were predominantly present in spleen and PB. CD3(+) T cells were not detected even in the recipient thymus. The transplantation to the NOD/Shi-scid mouse may provide a useful tool for evaluating the repopulating ability of transplantable human HSC.

At the ISAC 2000 Congress, the Clinical Cytometry Society organized a meeting of international experts to reach consensus on the minimum number of antibodies required for a full evaluation of hematologic and lymphoid neoplasias. A questionnaire was distributed prior to the meeting to numerous experts from US and European institutions and 13 responses were received. At the meeting, 25 individuals, including most of those who returned responses, participated in the discussions and voted on the issues presented. In chronic lymphoproliferative disorders (CLD), 9 antibodies (anti-CD5, CD19, kappa, lambda, CD3, CD20, CD23, CD10, and CD45) were deemed essential for initial evaluation by 75% of the participants. There was near unanimity that additional markers (selected from CD22, FMC7, CD11c, CD103, CD38, CD25, CD79b and heavy chains for B-cell disorders, and CD4, CD7, CD8, CD2, CD56, CD16, TCRa/b, and TCRg/d for T-cell disorders) would be needed to fully characterize CLD, although not every marker would be useful in all cases. Tissue lymphomas were believed to be similar to CLD, needing a minimum of 12--16 markers. However, for some cases, CD30, bcl-2, TdT, CD71, CD1a, and CD34 were cited as useful by the participants. Markers mentioned for plasma cell disorders included kappa, lambda, CD38, CD45, CD56, CD19, CD20, CD138, and heavy chains. Of 17 voting participants, 16 agreed that between 5 to 8 markers would be essential reagents for plasma cell disorders. For acute leukemia (AL), 10 markers (CD10, CD19, CD13, CD33, CD34, CD45, CD7, CD14, CD3, and HLADR) were considered essential by 75% of participants for initial characterization of the leukemia lineage. Most (>75%) agreed that at least one more B (CD20, CD22, CD79a, IgM), T (CD1a, CD2, CD4, CD5, CD8), myeloid (CD11b, CD15, CD64, CD117, myeloperoxidase), erythroid (CD36, CD71, glycophorin A), and megakaryocytic (CD41, CD61) reagents should be included in the essential panel. However, there was no agreement as to which was optimal. Thus, approximately 13--15 of those reagents would be considered essential in all cases of AL, whereas others (CD16, CD56, CDw65, TdT, and cytoplasmic CD3) were mentioned as useful in some cases. Almost all voting participants believed that the appropriate number of markers for complete characterization of AL would average 20--24. The majority of the responders (11 of 13) indicated that fewer reagents could be used in monitoring or staging patients with previously characterized disease, but not all ventured a specific number of reagents. From the above results, we conclude that the phenotypic analysis of hematologic and lymphoid neoplasia requires a rather extensive panel of reagents. Supplementary reagents might even be necessary if they prove to become relevant for diagnostic purposes. Reducing the number of antibodies could significantly compromise the diagnostic accuracy, appropriate monitoring, or therapy of these disorders.

Cyclosporin A (CsA) is used to prevent rejection in transplantation and to treat autoimmune and hematologic diseases such as aplastic anemia. However, the tumor growth-promoting effect of CsA remains controversial. We report the case of a 24-year-old man who developed acute lymphoblastic leukemia of precursor-T-cell origin after 75 months of treatment with CsA for aplastic anemia. The surface antigen phenotype of his leukemic cells was CD2+, CD3+, CD5+, CD7+, CD4-, CD8-, CD10-, CD20-, CD34-, CD41-, and CD56-. Southern blot analysis revealed a monoclonal rearrangement of T-cell receptor-Jgamma nongermline fragments in HindIII digestion.

A novel tumor cell line, denominated F6, was established from mutated human embryonic bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) which were induced by the GM-CSF and IL-4 in vitro. The characteristics of the F6 cell line, such as surface antigens, cell cycle, growth curve, gene expression, morphology, cytogenetics and tumor model were analyzed. The F6 cells were round and grew suspended in a plastic dish. The cell line has a strong self-renewal capability, was positive for CD13, CD29, CD44, but negative for CD1alpha, CD3, CD10, CD14, CD23, CD33, CD34, CD38, CD41, CD45, CD54 and HLA-DR. The surface antigens were lower than those of human embryonic MSCs. The karyotype of F6 cells was abnormal. The cell cycle included: G0/G1 phase, 52.24%; G2/M phase, 8.00%; S phase, 41.76%. After the cells had been passaged serially for more than 17 months (62 passages), their characteristics were still retained. The F6 cells resulted in tumors in SCID nude mice in vivo (8/8) and caused metastasis (3/8). The pathologic examination revealed that the tumor cells extensively invaded surrounding normal tissues such as dermis, muscular tissue, nerve tissue, adipose tissue and lymphoid tissue. F6 cell line, tumor tissues derived from F6 cells and the MSCs expressed different levels of the nucleostemin gene. These findings suggested that F6 may be a novel tumor cell line. It may provide evidence for the theory that cancer originates from stem cells, and may be useful for the investigation on safety of human MSCs in the clinical application.

Three hundred and seventy six monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) raised against human leukocyte surface antigens were analyzed by flow cytometry for cross reactivities against mink leukocytes. We found 53 mAbs (14%) to cross react. This study defined cross reactions to the following human markers: CD1a, CD9 (4 mAbs), CD10, CD11a (2 mAbs), CD14 (3 mAbs), CD18 (5 mAbs), CD20 (atypical reaction), CD21, CD25 (atypical reaction), CD29 (3 mAbs), CD32, CD41, CD42a, CD44 (4 mAbs), CD45, CD45RO, CD47 (2 mAbs), CD49d (3 mAbs), CD61 (2 mAbs), CD62P, CD66abcd, CD71, CD75s, CD79b (2 mAbs), CD86, CD88, CD104 (atypical reaction), CD172a, CD236R (glycophorin C, (atypical reaction)), Xg(a) carbohydrate antigen, Rhesus antigen and two unspecified PAN-reactive mAbs. In order to characterize the molecular mass of the corresponding cross reacting mink markers, the mAbs were used to immunoprecipitate the surface antigens. Fourteen mAbs out of the 53 mAbs reactive with mink leukocytes gave reproducible IP findings. The masses of the precipitated antigens were generally in good agreement with those of the homologous human markers. We also performed immunohistochemical staining analyses on formalin fixed, paraffin embedded mink tissue from lymph node and spleen, and found 7 out of 22 mAbs to give a positive signal. Generally, the immunohistological analyses resulted in expected staining patterns.

We report a case of pediatric acute megakaryocytic leukemia (AMKL) showing 48,XX,+21,+21 as a sole acquired cytogenetic abnormality without the mutation of GATA1 gene. A physical examination showed a phenotypically normal female. Bone marrow findings showed diffuse infiltration of leukemic blasts having scanty cytoplasm with budding blebs and prominent nucleoli, which were negative for myeloperoxide (MPO) stain, Sudan black B stain and periodic acid-Schiff stain. Immunophenotyping of leukemic cells revealed positive expression of CD34, CD13, CD33, CD117, CD41, CD61, CD7 and negative expression of TdT, anti-MPO, CD64, CD56, CD2, CD3, CD5, CD10, CD19, CD20 and CD22. A fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis showed four distinct AML1 signals in 284 of 300 interphase nuclei. The entire six exons of the GATA1 gene (7757bp) were directly sequenced. We could not find any mutations, including known polymorphisms, which are known to be involved in transient myeloproliferative disorder and acute megakaryocytic leukemia of Down syndrome. After achieving complete remission, the tetrasomy 21 disappeared.

In chronic myeloid leukemia K562 cells, differentiation is also blocked because of low levels of ganglioside GM3, derived by the high expression of sialidase Neu3 active on GM3. In this article, we studied the effects of Neu3 silencing (40-70% and 63-93% decrease in protein content and activity, respectively) in these cells. The effects were as follows: (a) gangliosides GM3, GM1, and sialosylnorhexaosylceramide increased markedly; (b) cell growth and [(3)H]thymidine incorporation diminished relevantly; (c) as mRNA, cyclin D2, and Myc were much less expressed, whereas cyclin D1 was expressed more like its inhibitor p21; (d) as mRNA, pro-apoptotic proteins Bax and Bad increased with concurrent decrease and increase in the anti-apoptotic proteins Bcl-2 and Bcl-XL, respectively; (e) the apoptosis inducers etoposide and staurosporine were active on Neu3 silencing cells but not on mock cells; (f) as mRNA, the megakaryocytic markers CD10, CD44, CD41, and CD61 increased similar to the case of mock cells stimulated with PMA; (g) the signaling cascades mediated by PLC-beta2, PKC, RAF, ERK1/2, RSK90, and JNK were largely activated. The induction of a GM3-rich ganglioside pattern in K562 cells by treatment with brefeldin A elicited a phenotype similar to that of Neu3 silencing cells. In conclusion, upon Neu3 silencing, K562 cells show a decrease in proliferation, propensity to undergo apoptosis, and megakaryocytic differentiation.

A new myeloid leukemia cell line (CG-SH) with normal cytogenetics was established from a patient with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) following myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). The cells of CG-SH are immature blasts and have an immature myeloid phenotype (positive for myeloperoxidase, CD7, CD34, CD38, CD117, HLA-DR, negative for CD10, CD19, CD20, CD41, CD42). A partial expression of CD13, CD15, CD65 and a weak expression of CD33 and CD133 was noted. The cells are negative for EBER. By molecular analysis, a mutation of NRAS and heterozygous mutations of RUNX1 were detected. No mutations were detected in FLT3-ITD, MLL-PTD or NPM1. By real-time PCR, a series of 19 microRNAs was identified which are strongly expressed in CG-SH. In conclusion, a new cell line was established which will be useful for the study of AML with normal cytogenetics and mutations in NRAS and/or RUNX1.
