    Childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia with chromosomal breakpoints at 11q23 (1989)
    American Society of Hematology
    Details
    Publication Date: 1989-05-01
    Description: Twenty-one (5.7%) of 368 cases of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), studied fully for karyotype and immunophenotype, had breakpoints in the q23 region of chromosome 11. This abnormality resulted from reciprocal translocation in 17 cases [with chromosomes 4 (n = 5), 10 (n = 2), and variable chromosomes (n = 10)], from deletions in three cases, and from a duplication in one case. The 17 children with 11q23 translocations had higher leukocyte counts (P less than .01) and were more likely to be black (P less than .01) and younger (P = .08) as compared with each of the following non-11q23 translocation groups: t(1;19), t(9;22), random translocations, and cases without translocations. Event-free survival at 3 years for the 11q23 translocation group did not differ significantly from that of the t(1;19), t(9;22), or random translocation groups. Leukemic cells from ten of the 21 patients with an 11q23 structural chromosomal abnormality had an immunophenotype indicative of B-lineage ALL (HLA-DR+, CD19+, CD2-, CD3-); this was confirmed by the presence of rearranged immunoglobulin heavy-chain genes in seven cases. In eight of these ten B-lineage cases, the blasts were negative for expression of the CD10 antigen, indicating a primitive stage of B-cell development. Four cases were classified as T- cell ALL, and seven others were characterized by blasts that failed to react with our panel of lineage-associated monoclonal antibodies (MoAbs). Myeloid antigens were expressed by leukemic cells in three of the cases that were tested. The initial clinical features associated with translocations involving the 11q23 chromosomal region may define a distinct subtype of ALL. Whether the constellation of findings relates to a breakpoint at 11q23 per se or to the specific translocation will require further study.

    Carbonic anhydrase: a marker for the erythroid phenotype in acute nonlymphocytic leukemia (1986)
    American Society of Hematology
    Details
    Publication Date: 1986-07-01
    Description: Protein markers are often used to corroborate the morphological subtyping of hematopoietic malignancy. Most commonly, surface markers are used for the phenotyping of hematopoietic cells; however, internal proteins have also been used as markers. Glycophorin, hemoglobin A, hemoglobin F, and transferrin have all been used as markers for the erythroid phenotype. We have recently shown that carbonic anhydrase is constitutively and aberrantly expressed in two erythroleukemic cell lines. We here show that it is also present in high levels in primary erythroleukemic blasts and that it is a useful marker for the M6 phenotype when classifying acute nonlymphocytic leukemia.

    An analysis of leukemic cell chromosomal features in infants (1987)
    American Society of Hematology
    Details
    Publication Date: 1987-05-01
    Description: Leukemic cell chromosomal findings in 27 infants were analyzed. Among the 18 cases of acute nonlymphoblastic leukemia (ANLL), all but two were classified as monocytic or myelomonocytic. The remaining nine cases were acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), seven lacking the common ALL antigen and two having cytoplasmic immunoglobulin (pre-B phenotype). Twenty-five cases (93%) had an abnormal karyotype, 21 (84%) being pseudodiploid. Chromosomal translocations were detected in 67% of the ANLL cases and in 78% of the ALL cases. Nonrandom chromosomal abnormalities included the t(9;11)(p21–22;q23) in three cases of monocytic leukemia, inversion of chromosome 16 in three cases of myelomonocytic leukemia with bone marrow eosinophilia, and t(4;11)(q21;q23) in one case of ALL. Chromosomal regions preferentially involved in infant leukemia included 11q23–25 (13 cases), 9p21–22 and 10p11–13. All but one of the 24 cases with chromosomal breakage or rearrangement had breakpoints that corresponded to known fragile sites, half of which were at 11q23–25, a finding that may have pathogenetic importance. The CALLA- or pre-B phenotype and the presence of chromosomal translocations in most infants with ALL provide a biological explanation for their poor prognosis.

    Interleukin-3, GM-CSF, and TPA induce distinct phosphorylation events in an interleukin 3-dependent multipotential cell line (1989)
    American Society of Hematology
    Details
    Publication Date: 1989-02-01
    Description: The mechanism of action of the hemopoietic growth factor, murine interleukin-3 (mIL-3), was investigated using an mIL-3-dependent multipotential hematopoietic cell line, B6SUtA1. Murine granulocyte- macrophage colony-stimulating factor (mGM-CSF) was as potent as mIL-3 in stimulating these cells. In addition, sodium orthovanadate, an inhibitor of phosphotyrosine phosphatase, and 12-O-tetradecanoyl- phorbol-13-acetate (TPA), a known activator of protein kinase C, also stimulated DNA synthesis in these cells, suggesting that protein phosphorylation might be involved in the mechanism of action of mIL-3 and mGM-CSF. To assess this possibility, intact B6SUtA1 cells exposed for brief periods to mIL-3, mGM-CSF, and TPA were analyzed for changes in phosphorylation patterns using metabolic 32P-labeling and antibodies to phosphotyrosine. Both mIL-3 and mGM-CSF induced the serine-specific phosphorylation of a 68-Kd cytosolic protein, whereas all three agents stimulated the serine-specific phosphorylation of a 68-Kd membrane protein. Furthermore, mIL-3 stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation of the 68-Kd membrane protein, as well as of 140-, 90-, 55, and 40-Kd proteins. The 90-Kd protein was also tyrosine phosphorylated in response to mGM-CSF. These phosphotyrosine containing proteins were not detected in TPA-treated cells. These results indicate that protein phosphorylations on tyrosine and serine residues occur in B6SUtA1 cells following short-term incubation with mIL-3 or mGM-CSF and that most of these phosphorylation events are mediated by kinases other than protein kinase C (PkC).

    Host origin of the human hematopoietic microenvironment following allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (1987)
    American Society of Hematology
    Details
    Publication Date: 1987-12-01
    Description: The origin of marrow stromal cells post allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) was studied. Two groups of patients receiving HLA- identical marrow grafts from sex mismatched siblings were included in the study: the first group (eight patients) received conventional marrow grafts and the second group (ten patients) received stromal cell and T cell depleted grafts. All patients showed hematopoietic engraftment with donor cells. Marrow aspirates obtained from these patients were used to establish stromal layers in long-term marrow cultures (LTMC) for 4 to 6 weeks. In both groups, karyotype analysis of nonhematopoietic cultured stromal cells showed host origin even as late as day 760 posttransplantation. Immunofluorescence methods using monoclonal antibodies against components of fibroblasts, macrophages, and endothelial cells, showed that the composition of stromal layers was similar to those obtained from normal controls. Our data indicate that marrow stromal progenitors capable of proliferation are nontransplantable and do not originate from a hematopoietic-stromal common progenitor.

    The effect of recombinant GM-CSF on the recovery of monkeys transplanted with autologous bone marrow (1987)
    American Society of Hematology
    Details
    Publication Date: 1987-11-01
    Description: The regulatory function of recombinant human granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (rhGM-CSF) on granulocyte production in vivo was evaluated in an autologous bone marrow transplantation model using rhesus monkeys. Monkeys were exposed to 9.0 Gy total body irradiation and then transplanted with 5.0 x 10(7) low-density bone marrow cells/kg. Alzet miniosmotic pumps were subcutaneously implanted to deliver rhGM-CSF at a rate of 50,400 U/kg/d. Minipumps, containing either rhGM-CSF or saline, were implanted between zero and five days after transplantation for seven days. Kinetic recoveries of peripheral blood cells after either saline or rhGM-CSF treatment were compared. Treatment with rhGM-CSF accelerated the recovery of neutrophils. Neutrophils in rhGM-CSF-treated animals recovered to 80% (3.4 x 10(3)/mm3) pre-irradiation control levels by day 20, in comparison with only 33% (0.9 x 10(3)/mm3) recovery for saline control monkeys. In addition, the recovery of neutrophils was enhanced over that of the controls, reaching 140% v 70% on day 30. Another prominent feature of rhGM-CSF-treated monkeys was the accelerated recovery of platelets, reaching near 50% normal levels by day 24 in comparison with 20% of normal levels for controls. The infusion of rhGM-CSF was shown to be an effective regulator of early hematopoietic regeneration, leading to the accelerated recovery of both neutrophils and platelets and then providing a consistent sustained increase of neutrophils even in the absence of rhGM-CSF.

    Intermediate- to high-grade histology of lymphomas carrying t(14;18) is associated with additional nonrandom chromosome changes (1987)
    American Society of Hematology
    Details
    Publication Date: 1987-08-01
    Description: We describe additional nonrandom chromosome abnormalities in 18 cases of intermediate- to high-grade non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) bearing t(14;18) that were ascertained in a prospective cytogenetic study of all lymphomas seen at Memorial Hospital during the period January 1, 1984, to December 31, 1986. These included seven cases that had histological evidence of transformation from a lower grade and 11 that lacked such evidence. The most common of the additional changes seen in both groups affected chromosomes 6 and 7 and comprised the loss of chromosome 6 or del(6q) and the presence of more than two copies of chromosome 7 or duplication of 7q. Changes affecting these two chromosomes were less frequent in low-grade lymphomas with t(14;18) as well as in lymphomas lacking the translocation. These data suggest that common cytogenetic mechanisms underlie expression of high-grade histologies by lymphomas carrying t(14;18). In addition, they may serve as indicators of transformation when encountered in low-grade lymphomas with t(14;18).

    Recombinant gibbon interleukin-3 acts synergistically with recombinant human G-CSF and GM-CSF in vitro (1988)
    American Society of Hematology
    Details
    Publication Date: 1988-06-01
    Description: Recombinant gibbon interleukin-3 (IL-3) is a multilineage hematopoietic colony-stimulating factor (CSF) that recently was cloned and found to be highly homologous with human IL-3. Gibbon IL-3, as well as human granulocyte-CSF (G-CSF) and human granulocyte-macrophage CSF (GM-CSF), stimulated normal human bone marrow cells to form myeloid colonies in soft agar in a sigmoidal dose-response manner. When IL-3 was added to increasing concentrations of G-CSF or GM-CSF, synergistic colony formation occurred as compared with the effects of each CSF alone. Synergism was also noted when G-CSF was added with GM-CSF and when all the CSFs were added simultaneously. The combination of IL-3 and GM-CSF was less stimulatory than all the other CSF combinations. At day 11 of culture, IL-3 induced granulocyte-macrophage (38%), eosinophil (30%), granulocyte (18%), and macrophage (14%) colony formation. In summary, gibbon IL-3 is a growth factor that can synergize with other CSFs to enhance proliferation of myeloid-committed progenitors, suggesting that combinations of CSFs may have clinical utility in patients with neutropenia of various etiologies.

    Recombinant human interleukin-3 stimulation of hematopoiesis in humans: loss of responsiveness with differentiation in the neutrophilic myeloid series (1988)
    American Society of Hematology
    Details
    Publication Date: 1988-11-01
    Description: Recombinant human (rh) interleukin-3 (IL-3) stimulated the proliferation and differentiation of erythroid, granulocyte, macrophage, eosinophil (Eo), and mixed colonies as well as megakaryocytes from human bone marrow cells. rh IL-3 was a weaker stimulus than rh granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM- CSF) for day 14 myeloid cell colonies. At day 7 of incubation, rh IL-3 stimulated a few G, M, and Eo clusters but no colonies. This loss of responsiveness of myeloid cells to rh IL-3 was accentuated with further differentiation of the cells. rh IL-3 stimulated very few or no clones after five-day incubation with enriched promyelocytes and myelocytes, whereas rh GM-CSF was an efficient stimulus. Responsiveness to rh IL-3 was completely lost in postmitotic mature neutrophils. Incubation of these cells with rh IL-3 did not result in enhanced antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) of tumor cells or superoxide anion production after stimulation with formyl-methyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (FMLP), although they could be stimulated by rh GM-CSF. In addition, preincubation of neutrophils with different concentrations of rh IL-3 failed to increase or decrease their response to rh GM-CSF. In contrast to neutrophils, mature Eos could be stimulated by rh IL-3 to kill antibody-coated tumor cells. These results show that cells of the neutrophilic myeloid series lose their responsiveness to h IL-3 as they differentiate and suggest that although h IL-3 may be an important therapeutic agent to use for hematopoietic regeneration in vivo, the lack of stimulation of mature neutrophil function makes it an unlikely sole candidate as adjunct therapy for treatment of infectious diseases.
