Physical interaction between human lymphomas and murine bone marrow derived stromal cells were studied. Nalm-6 pre-B cells adhered to BMS2 stromal cells and subsequently migrated beneath them, while Ramos Burkitt lymphoma cells, adhered but did not migrate. Four mAbs were established against Nalm-6 cells, which were able to block initial adhesion of Nalm-6 cells. Two of them were directed against the alpha 4 chain of VLA-4, and other two recognized the beta 1 chain of VLA integrins. Therefore, the initial adhesion of Ramos and Nalm-6 cells to BMS2 was largely mediated by the VLA-4 integrin expressed on lymphocytes. The corresponding ligand on stromal cells appears to be VCAM-1, because antibodies against murine VCAM-1 blocked the adhesion. However, antibodies against the alpha chain of VLA-4 were not capable of blocking subsequent migration beneath stromal cells. In contrast, antibodies against the beta chain of VLA integrins blocked the migration beneath stromal cells as well as the initial adhesion. Because a common beta chain can be shared among integrins, the role of other VLA integrins in Nalm-6 cells migration was investigated. VLA-5 and VLA-6 as well as VLA-4 were expressed on Nalm-6 cells, but not on Ramos cells. Additional blocking experiments revealed that VLA-4 and VLA-5 are likely to work in concert to mediate the migration of Nalm-6 cells beneath stromal cells. Thus, particular VLA integrins appear to be responsible not only for lymphocyte adhesion but also for migration with respect to stromal cells. These findings may have implications for cell-cell interactions and directed migration of lymphocytes in bone marrow and other tissues. 相似文献

The specific binding of radioiodinated rIL-2 to fresh marrow blasts from T-lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) patients was initially investigated. The estimated number of radioiodinated rIL-2 molecules bound per blast ranged from undetectable to 1948. In colony assays, 72% of 32 cases analyzed showed a significant proliferative response to rIL-2, which depended on PHA-stimulated lymphocyte conditioned medium activation. Colony stimulation indices correlated with the number of radioiodinated rIL-2 molecules bound per blast but not with expression of CD25/Tac Ag on fresh marrow blasts or primary colony blasts. These findings provide evidence that in T-lineage ALL functional IL-2R proteins are expressed on leukemic progenitor blasts which may be distinct from Tac Ag. We used the mAb 35.1, T101, and G3.7 to test for expression of CD2, CD5, and CD7 on fresh marrow blasts from 126 T-lineage ALL patients. CD2, CD5, and CD7 were expressed in 84%, 93%, and 99% of cases, respectively. Furthermore, colony blasts that represent the early progeny of leukemic progenitor blasts were also CD2+CD5+CD7+. Ricin conjugates of 35.1, T101, and G3.7 mAb were used as Ag-specific cytotoxic probes to test for expression of CD2, CD5, and CD7 at the level of T-lineage leukemic progenitor blasts. Each immunotoxin was able to selectively eliminate greater than 99% of leukemic progenitor blasts, providing unique and direct evidence that these cells co-express CD2, CD5, and CD7. Neither mixtures of anti-CD5 and anti-CD7 nor anti-CD2, anti-CD5, and anti-CD7 immunotoxins were more effective against blast progenitor cells than the individual immunotoxins alone, confirming that CD2, CD5, and CD7 are not expressed on non-overlapping progenitor cell subpopulations. 相似文献

Expression of the common acute lymphoblastic leukemia antigen (CALLA) on the surface of individual cells of human lymphoblastoid lines 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Expression of the common acute lymphoblastic leukemia antigen (CALLA) on the surface of individual cells of the human lymphoblastoid lines CW678, Namalwa, and Nalm-6, and the distribution of the antigen epitopes within the cell populations have been determined quantitatively with the murine monoclonal anti-CALLA antibody J5. The distribution of CALLA epitopes in the cell populations was analyzed by indirect immunofluorescence measured by using flow cytometry. The average number of CALLA epitopes per cell were measured by two assays: in a direct assay by binding 125I-labeled antibody J5 to cells, and indirectly by binding 125I-labeled protein A from Staphylococcus aureus to J5-coated cells. On average, CW678, Namalwa, and Nalm-6 cells bore about 1 X 10(4), 6 X 10(4), and 8 X 10(4) CALLA epitopes per cell respectively. Histograms of the absolute number of CALLA epitopes expressed by individual cells in the populations of CW678, Namalwa, and Nalm-6 cultures were generated by a combined analysis of all the binding data. This is the first example of histograms showing quantitative distribution of antigen epitopes. Previously, the expression of antigens by individual cells as obtained by flow cytometry was only presented in terms of relative fluorescence intensity of individual cells in cell populations. 相似文献

B7-H1 (PD-L1) is a B7-related protein that inhibits T-cell responses. B7-H1 participates in the immunoescape of cancer cells
and is also involved in the long-term persistence of leukemic cells in a mouse model of leukemia. B7-H1 can be constitutively
expressed by cancer cells, but is also induced by various stimuli. Therefore, we examined the constitutive and inducible expression
of B7-H1 and the consequences of this expression in human acute myeloid leukemia (AML). We analyzed B7-H1 expression in a
cohort of 79 patients with AML. In addition, we studied blast cells after incubation with interferon-gamma or toll-like receptors
(TLR) ligands. Finally, we evaluated functionality of cytotoxic T-cell activity against blast cells. Expression of B7-H1 upon
diagnosis was high in 18% of patients. Expression of TLR2, 4 and 9 was detected in one-third of AML samples. Expression of
TLR2 and TLR4 ligands or IFN-γ induced by B7-H1 was found to protect AML cells from CTL-mediated lysis. Spontaneous B7-H1
expression was also found to be enhanced upon relapse in some patients. MEK inhibitors, including UO126 and AZD6244, reduced
B7-H1 expression and restored CTL-mediated lysis of blast cells. In AML, B7-H1 expression by blasts represents a possible
immune escape mechanism. The inducibility of B7-H1 expression by IFN-γ or TLR ligands suggests that various stimuli, either
produced during the immune response against leukemia cells or released by infectious microorganisms, could protect leukemic
cells from T cells. The efficacy of MEK inhibitors against B7-H1-mediated inhibition of CTLs suggests a possible cancer immunotherapy
strategy using targeted drugs. 相似文献

We studied the effect of transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-beta 1) on colony formation of leukemic blast progenitors from ten acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML) patients stimulated with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), interleukin-3 (IL-3), interleukin-6 (IL-6), or interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta). These CSFs and interleukins by themselves stimulated the proliferation of leukemic blast progenitors without adding TGF-beta 1. G-CSF, GM-CSF, and IL-3 stimulated blast colony formation in nine patients, IL-6 stimulated it in five, and IL-1 beta stimulated in four. TGF-beta 1 significantly reduced blast colony formation stimulated by G-CSF, GM-CSF, or IL-6 in all patients. In contrast, TGF-beta 1 enhanced the stimulatory effect of IL-3 on blast progenitors from three cases, while in the other seven patients TGF-beta 1 reduced blast colony formation in the presence of IL-3. To study the mechanism by which TGF-beta 1 enhanced the stimulatory effect of IL-3 on blast progenitors, we carried out the following experiments in the three patients in which it occurred. First, the media conditioned by leukemic cells in the presence of TGF-beta 1 stimulated the growth of leukemic blast progenitors, but such effect was completely abolished by anti-IL-1 beta antibody. Second, the addition of IL-1 beta in the culture significantly enhanced the growth of blast progenitors stimulated with IL-3. Third, leukemic cells of the two patients studied were revealed to secrete IL-1 beta and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) constitutively; the production by leukemic cells of IL-1 beta and TNF-alpha was significantly promoted by TGF-beta 1. Furthermore, the growth enhancing effect of TGF-beta 1 in the presence of IL-3 was fully neutralized by anti-IL-1 beta antibody. These findings suggest that TGF-beta 1 stimulated the growth of blast progenitors through the production and secretion of IL-1 beta by leukemic cells. 相似文献

Bcl-2 down-regulation causes autophagy in a caspase-independent manner in human leukemic HL60 cells 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
Saeki K Yuo A Okuma E Yazaki Y Susin SA Kroemer G Takaku F 《Cell death and differentiation》2000,7(12):1263-1269
To understand the roles of bcl-2 for the survival of leukemic cells, we constructed human leukemic HL60 transformant lines in which full length bcl-2 antisense message was conditionally expressed by a tetracycline-regulatable expression system. Cell growth was completely inhibited after antisense message induction and massive cell death was induced. Electron microscopic examinations show that cells died by autophagy, but not by apoptosis. The morphology and the function of mitochondria remained intact: neither the reduction in mitochondrial membrane potential nor the nuclear translocation of AIF, a mitochondrial protein that translocates to nuclei in cases of apoptosis, was observed. Caspase inhibitors did not rescue bcl-2-antisense-mediated autophagy. Thus, bcl-2 is essential for leukemic cell survival and its down-regulation results in autophagy.

Platonin is a photosensitizer used for photodynamic therapy. In this study, we tested the effect of platonin on human leukemic cells. Treatment with platonin in the dark markedly reduced cell membrane integrity, and induced significant G0/G1 arrest of a panel of human leukemic cell lines, including U937, HL-60, K562, NB4 and THP-1. Development of hypodiploid cells was not evident in these cell lines within 24 h, but was noted in U937, HL-60 and NB4 cells after 24 h. No myeloid differentiation of these cells was noted after 5-day treatment. Intriguingly, exposure of monoblastic U937 cells to platonin caused changes characteristic of autophagy, including appearance of cytoplasmic membranous vacuoles and formation of acidic vesicular organelles (AVO) in more than 95% of cells. The platonin-induced autophagy was accompanied by localization of microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 to autophagosomes. Pretreatment with pancaspase inhibitor Z-VAD-fmk abrogated the platonin-induced hypodiploidity, but had no effect on growth inhibition and formation of AVO, indicating a caspase-independent autophagy-associated cell death. Pretreatment of cells with 3-methyladenine attenuated platonin-mediated growth inhibition and formation of AVO. Platonin augmented the expression of BNIP3 in both U937 and K562 cells, whereas had an opposite effect on phosphorylation of mTOR downstream molecule p70S6K. Platonin, at the condition inducing autophagy, induced the mitochondrial membrane permeation. These results suggest that the platonin is capable of inhibiting growth as well as inducing cell death, mainly autophagy-associated, in leukemic cells via a mitochondria-mediated and caspase-independent pathway. A markedly less viability inhibition was noted to human monocytes, the normal counterpart of these myeloid leukemic cells. Platonin, other than a photodynamic agent, may offer significant promise as a therapeutic agent against leukemia. 相似文献

bcr gene rearrangement and c-abl gene expression were analyzed in a patient with Philadelphia chromosome (Ph1)-positive hybrid acute leukemia with simultaneous proliferation of lymphoid and myeloid blasts. These data were compared with those from a patient with chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) in mixed crisis. The leukemic cells of both patients showed immuno-phenotypic profiles such as non-T, non-B common ALL with some MPO-positive leukemic cells and rearranged JH genes. On analysis of molecular events associated with the Ph1 chromosome, the leukemic cells of a patient with CML in mixed crisis showed bcr rearrangement and an 8.5-kb bcr-abl chimeric mRNA, but those of a patient with Ph1-positive hybrid acute leukemia showed no 8.5-kb bcr-abl mRNA, as previously reported in a number of Ph1-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) cases. These results revealed that the molecular event found in Ph1-positive ALL is not only restricted to lymphoid lineage but may play an important role in the proliferation of the myeloid lineage. 相似文献

The monoclonal antibodies Trop-4 and 4F2 recognize cell surface antigens present on peripheral blood monocytes, activated lymphocytes, and on continuous cell lines, but not on resting lymphocytes in blood. The membrane antigens detected by antibodies Trop-4 and 4F2 were compared by serial immunoprecipitations from membrane lysates of surface labeled T lymphoid cells and by parallel polyacrylamide gel electrophoretic analysis. It is shown that both to these antibodies recognize the heavy subunit of the heterodimeric membrane complex of an 85,000 m.w. glycoprotein disulphide linked to a light subunit of 41,000 m.w. The kinetics of the expression of the antigen was studied by indirect immunofluorescence on peripheral blood T lymphocytes during blast transformation induced by concanavalin A in vitro and during reversion of the lymphocytes back to small "secondary" lymphocytes. Upon activation of T lymphocytes with concanavalin A, the first blast cells staining with the antibodies appear within 6 hr after the initiation of the culture. After 18 hr, all blast cells displayed strong expression of the antigen. Inhibition of DNA synthesis by hydroxyurea treatment did not affect the early blast transformation and the expression of the antigen. When the mitogen-induced blast cells reverted back to small secondary lymphocytes during prolonged culturing for up to 18 days, these cells retained the expression of the antigen detected by antibodies Trop-4 and 4F2, whereas another membrane marker of activation, the transferrin receptor, rapidly disappeared. These findings demonstrate a phenotypical difference between primed, secondary T lymphocytes and resting, unstimulated cells. 相似文献

Plasma membrane-resident glucocorticoid receptors in rodent lymphoma and human leukemia models. 总被引:14,自引:0,他引:14
The presence of the glucocorticoid (GC) receptor is required for GC-evoked apoptosis. However, the explicit mechanism of involvement of this receptor continues to be debated. Employing the murine (S-49) and human (CCRF-CEM) lymphoid cell lines, we demonstrated that this response requires a specialized form of the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) that resides in the plasma membrane (mGR). Our studies of mGR have been done in our stable mGR-enriched (by sequential cell separation--immunopanning, fluorescent cell sorting, soft agar cloning) S-49 and CCRF-CEM cells. Direct and indirect immunofluorescent studies of live intact cells showed GR-specific periplasma membrane staining. Immunoanalysis by flow cytometry demonstrated abundant mGR in mGR++ cells, but only barely detectable mGR in mGR-- cells. Western blot and autoradiographic analyses of immunoprecipitated membrane extracts from these cells show they contain immunoreactive and competitively labeled high Mr receptor ranging from 94 to 150 kDa. Using mGR++ CCRF-CEM cells and three synchronization procedures (double thymidine, thymidine/colcemid, and colcemid blocks), we have investigated the influence of cell cycle on regulation and function of mGR. Both mGR expression and GC-mediated lymphocytolysis appear highest at late S-G2/M. Analysis of mGR in lymphocytes of several leukemic patients indicated differences in the levels of receptor expression. These findings might provide diagnostic clues about patients' differential response to steroid therapy and potential therapeutic avenues for effective treatment of hormone-responsive leukemic patients. 相似文献

Down-regulation and inactivation of neutral endopeptidase 24.11 (enkephalinase) in human neutrophils 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
E G Erd?s B Wagner C B Harbury R G Painter R A Skidgel X G Fa 《The Journal of biological chemistry》1989,264(24):14519-14523
Neutral endopeptidase (EC 3.4.24.11, NEP) is an integral membrane protein of human neutrophils. NEP is identical with the common acute lymphoblastic leukemia antigen (CALLA) of leukemic cells. The expression of NEP on the surface of neutrophils is down-regulated by endocytosis which can be induced by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) at 37 degrees C. The activity of the enzyme on the surface of intact cells decreases by 76% within 5 min. The activity can be recovered, however, if the cells are lysed within 5 min of the endocytosis. After 30 min, only 32% of the NEP activity is present in the neutrophil lysates. The loss of activity is presumably due to proteolytic inactivation. Diacylglycerol and monoclonal antibody to CALLA/NEP also induce internalization of NEP. PMA induces endocytosis even at 4 degrees C, but NEP is not inactivated at that temperature. The disappearance of NEP activity after adding PMA was inhibited by various agents. Among the most active were the phospholipase inhibitor 4-bromophenacyl bromide and a combination of the serine protease and cathepsin inhibitors, diisopropylfluorophosphate and N-ethylmaleimide. The employment of fluorescent monoclonal antibody confirmed the down-regulation and internalization of NEP antigen on the neutrophils. Since NEP inactivates chemotactic peptides and thereby affects chemotaxis of neutrophils (Painter, R. G., Dukes, R., Sullivan, J., Carter, R., Erd?s, E. G., and Johnson, A. R. (1988) J. Biol. Chem. 263, 9456-9461), the down-regulation of NEP activity on the cell membrane may modulate the function of these cells in inflammation. 相似文献

Cellular changes in the thymuses of preleukemic AKR mice: correlation with changes in the expression of murine leukemia viruses. 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Thymus cells of preleukemic and leukemic AKR mice express on their cell surface elevated levels of antigens associated with the murine leukemia virus (MuLV) proteins gp70 and p30. The gp70 antigenicity is contained in a 70,000 dalton polypeptide that corresponds to the viral envelope protein, while the p30 antigenicity is contained in two polypeptides of 85,000 and 95,000 daltons that correspond to glycosylated forms of the polyprotein product of the gag gene.The expression of these viral coded proteins on the cell surface of thymocytes varies both quantitatively with the age of the mouse and qualitatively with the cellular populations that express these antigens. Four discrete stages in the leukemic pathway can be identified. First, low numbers of cells from the thymuses of young (2 month old) AKR mice express p30 (<0.25%) and gp70 (2–7%) antigens. Expression of gp70 antigen is restricted to large cells in the subcapsular region of the thymus. Second, thymuses of 6 month old AKR mice show a selective depletion of cortical thymocytes with a concomitant increase in the medullary region of the thymus. Thymus cells of these mice contain elevated numbers of cells that express an increased concentration of p30 and gp70 antigens. Viral antigens are found on the surface of all large cells of the subcapsular region of the thymus, and in variable numbers (2–85%) of small cells of the cortical and medullary regions. Third, the thymuses of some 8 month old AKR mice demonstrate selective hypertrophy of a single thymic lobe. The enlarged lobe contains a population of cells that are intermediate in size between the small cortical cells and leukemic blast cells. This new cell population expresses elevated levels of p30 and gp70 viral antigens. These cells, which are not leukemic (since transfer of high numbers of these cells to syngeneic hosts does not induce transplantable disease), may represent preleukemic thymocytes. Fourth, thymuses of mice with overt leukemia contain primarily leukemic blast cells. These cells express extremely high levels of viral antigens on their cell surfaces, and upon transfer of these cells to syngeneic hosts, they rapidly induce transplantable leukemias.The increased expression of viral antigens on the surface of thymus cells is correlated with an increased production of infectious ecotropic and xenotropic MuLV in the thymus. During aging, the percentage of cells producing ecotropic MuLV increases 10-fold, while the percentage of cells producing xenotropic MuLV increases 100 fold. 相似文献

In cancer, multidrug resistance (MDR) is the simultaneous resistance of tumor cells to different natural product anticancer drugs that have no common structure. This is an impediment to the successful treatment of many human cancers. A common correlate of MDR is the overexpression of a membrane protein, P-glycoprotein. Many studies have shown that MDR can be reversed after the use of substrate analogs, called MDR modulators. However, our understanding of MDR modulation is incomplete. In this article, we examine the electrical properties of the human leukemic cells (K562) and its MDR counterpart (K562AR) using dielectrophoresis and flow cytometry (with a membrane potential sensitive dye, DIOC5), both before and after treatment with XR9576 (a P-glycoprotein-specific MDR-reversal agent). The results show significant differences in the cytoplasmic conductivity between the cell lines themselves, but indicate no significant changes after modulation therapy. We conclude that the process of MDR modulation is not associated with changes in the electrical properties of cancer cells. Moreover, the results demonstrate that using the flow cytometry method alone, with MDR cells, may produce artifactual results--whereas in combination with dielectrophoresis, the results show the role of MDR modulators in preventing drug efflux in MDR cells. 相似文献

In order to elucidate molecular events in BCR/ABL-induced transformation, we adopted a polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based technique of differential display and compared mRNA expression in human factor-dependent cells, TF-1, with that in factor-independent cells, ID-1, which were established from TF-1 cells by transfection of BCR/ABL. Cloning and sequencing of a gene which was upregulated in ID-1 cells revealed that the gene was identical to a melanoma antigen, PRAME. Our present study demonstrated that PRAME was markedly expressed in primary leukemic cells with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in blastic crisis and Philadelphia (Ph)+-acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), in which BCR/ABL played an important role as a pathogenic gene. Moreover, comparison of PRAME expression among CD34+ cells with CML in blastic, accelerated, and chronic phases revealed a higher expression in CML in advanced phases. Thus PRAME was considered to be a good candidate for a marker of Ph+-leukemic blast cells as well as a new target antigen of leukemic blast cells that cytotoxic T cells can recognize. 相似文献

Immunological analysis using monoclonal antibodies against subspecies of protein kinase C revealed the predominant expression of the isozyme, type II, in human megakaryoblastic leukemic cells. We investigated the effects of phorbol diester 12-O-tetradecanoyl phorbol-13-acetate (TPA), the Ca2+ ionophore ionomycin and synthetic diacylglycerol 1-oleoyl-2-acetylglycerol (OAG) on the immunocytochemical localization of protein kinase C in these cells. Indirect immunofluorescence techniques revealed the enzyme to be located in a diffuse cytosolic pattern, in the intact cells. When the cells were exposed to 100 nM TPA, the immunofluorescent staining was translocated from the cytoplasm to the plasma membrane. The translocation was protracted and staining on the membrane decreased in parallel with the Ca2+, phospholipid-dependent protein kinase activity. Treatment of the cells with 500 nM ionomycin caused an apparent translocation comparable with that seen with TPA, however, this translocation was transient and most of the cytosolic staining was within 60 min. We also found that 30 micrograms/ml OAG did not have significant effects on distribution of the staining, but rather acted synergistically on the translocation with the suboptimal concentration of 100 nM ionomycin. A similar synergism was also observed with 10 nM TPA and 100 nM ionomycin. These results obtained in situ provide evidence that intracellular Ca2+ and diacylglycerol regulate membrane binding of the enzyme in vivo. 相似文献

The chemokine receptor CXCR4 favors the interaction of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells with their niche but the extent to which it participates in pathogenesis is unclear. Here, we show that CXCR4 expression at the surface of leukemic cells allowed distinguishing CXCR4high from CXCR4neg/low AML patients. When high levels of CXCR4 are expressed at the surface of AML cells, blocking the receptor function with small molecule inhibitors could promote leukemic cell death and reduce NOD/Shi-scid/IL-2Rγnull (NOG) leukemia-initiating cells (LICs). Conversely, these drugs had no efficacy when AML cells do not express CXCR4 or when they do not respond to chemokine CXC motif ligand 12 (CXCL12). Functional analysis showed a greater mobilization of leukemic cells and LICs in response to drugs, suggesting that they target the interaction between leukemic cells and their supportive bone marrow microenvironment. In addition, increased apoptosis of leukemic cells in vitro and in vivo was observed. CXCR4 expression level on AML blast cells and their migratory response to CXCL12 are therefore predictive of the response to the inhibitors and could be used as biomarkers to select patients that could potentially benefit from the drugs. 相似文献
