B-lineage acute leukemia (B-ALL) cells often require stromal cell support for optimal proliferation and apoptotic resistance. In addition, stromal cell contact can promote resistance to chemotherapeutic agents. However, the precise biochemical pathways within the leukemic cell that are activated by the bone marrow microenvironment which result promotion of cell proliferation and apoptotic protection are not fully characterized. We have recently reported that simultaneous inhibition of the MEK and PI3K pathways or the MEK and mTOR pathways promote rapid apoptosis of the stromal cell dependent B-lineage ALL cell line BLIN-2 in the presence of stromal cell support. These data indicated that stromal cell induced apoptotic protection is mediated by PI3K/mTOR and MEK in a mechanism(s) that suggests cross-talk or points of convergence. The EGF receptor (EGFR) has been reported to activate both MEK and PI3K. We report herein that use of the EGFR inhibitor, AG1478, inhibits BLIN-2 survival in the presence of stromal cells. FACS analysis revealed that EGFR is expressed on the surface of BLIN-2 cells. The addition of EGF to BLIN-2 cultures in the absence of stromal cells prolongs BLIN-2 survival. Similarly, introduction of a constitutively active form of EGFR, v-ErbB, into BLIN-2 prolongs the survival of BLIN-2 cells in the absence of stromal cell support. These data provide evidence that stimulation of the EGFR pathway is one mechanism by which the bone marrow microenvironment may contribute to the growth and survival of B-cell acute leukemia. 相似文献

B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), which is the most common lymphoproliferative disorder, displays characteristics consistent with a defect in programmed cell death and exhibit prolonged survival of affected cells in vivo. When recovered from peripheral blood or lymphoid tissues of patients and cultured in vitro, CLL malignant cells rapidly undergo spontaneous apoptosis. CLL B-cells co-culture with different adherent cell types, collectively referred to as stromal cells, induces leukemia cell survival, migration, and drug resistance. In addition, such survival-promoting microenvironments can rescue leukemia cells from cytotoxic therapy, giving way to disease relapse. Quite surprisingly considering that many anti-cancer drugs, including γ-secretase inhibitors, Cyclopamine and Quercetin, were reported to block Notch, Wnt, and Hedgehog anti-apoptotic signaling pathways respectively, the link between the latter anti-apoptotic pathways and bone marrow stromal cells in CLL has been pointed out only recently. Data concerning the pathogenesis of CLL have been critically reviewed in regards to the growing body of evidence indicating deregulations of Notch, Wnt and Hedgehog anti-apoptotic signaling pathways in the stromal microenvironment of affected cells. 相似文献

Chronic myelogenous leukaemia (CML) is a clonal myeloproliferative disorder. Recent evidence indicates that altered crosstalk between CML and mesenchymal stromal cells may affect leukaemia survival; moreover, vesicles released by both tumour and non‐tumour cells into the microenvironment provide a suitable niche for cancer cell growth and survival. We previously demonstrated that leukaemic and stromal cells establish an exosome‐mediated bidirectional crosstalk leading to the production of IL8 in stromal cells, thus sustaining the survival of CML cells. Human cell lines used are LAMA84 (CML cells), HS5 (stromal cells) and bone marrow primary stromal cells; gene expression and protein analysis were performed by real‐time PCR and Western blot. IL8 and MMP9 secretions were evaluated by ELISA. Exosomes were isolated from CML cells and blood samples of CML patients. Here, we show that LAMA84 and CML patients’ exosomes contain amphiregulin (AREG), thus activating epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signalling in stromal cells. EGFR signalling increases the expression of SNAIL and its targets, MMP9 and IL8. We also demonstrated that pre‐treatment of HS5 with LAMA84 exosomes increases the expression of annexin A2 that promotes the adhesion of leukaemic cells to the stromal monolayer, finally supporting the growth and invasiveness of leukaemic cells. Leukaemic and stromal cells establish a bidirectional crosstalk: exosomes promote proliferation and survival of leukaemic cells, both in vitro and in vivo, by inducing IL8 secretion from stromal cells. We propose that this mechanism is activated by a ligand–receptor interaction between AREG, found in CML exosomes, and EGFR in bone marrow stromal cells. 相似文献

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is the most common leukemia in the Western world. Survival of CLL cells depends on their close contact with stromal cells in lymphatic tissues, bone marrow and blood. This microenvironmental regulation of CLL cell survival involves the stromal secretion of chemo- and cytokines as well as the expression of adhesion molecules. Since CLL survival may also be driven by antigenic stimulation through the B-cell antigen receptor (BCR), we explored the hypothesis that these processes may be linked to each other. We tested if stromal cells could serve as an antigen reservoir for CLL cells, thus promoting CLL cell survival by stimulation through the BCR. As a proof of principle, we found that two CLL BCRs with a common stereotyped heavy chain complementarity-determining region 3 (previously characterized as "subset 1") recognize antigens highly expressed in stromal cells--vimentin and calreticulin. Both antigens are well-documented targets of autoantibodies in autoimmune disorders. We demonstrated that vimentin is displayed on the surface of viable stromal cells and that it is present and bound by the stereotyped CLL BCR in CLL-stroma co-culture supernatant. Blocking the vimentin antigen by recombinant soluble CLL BCR under CLL-stromal cell co-culture conditions reduces stroma-mediated anti-apoptotic effects by 20-45%. We therefore conclude that CLL BCR stimulation by stroma-derived antigens can contribute to the protective effect that the stroma exerts on CLL cells. This finding sheds a new light on the understanding of the pathobiology of this so far mostly incurable disease. 相似文献

Bone marrow stromal microenvironment is essential for the maintenance of the hematopoietic stem cell renewal both by cell-cell interaction and cytokine production. However, stromal cells also exhibit drug metabolizing activities and they may accumulate the drug and successively affect hematopoietic progenitors by a retarded release. Our study investigated the role of both primary culture of murine bone marrow stroma and established stromal cells (SR-4987) in modulating the "in vitro" toxic activity of Doxorubicin (DXR) against murine granulocyte-macrophage progenitors (CFU-GM). The main part of the study has been performed by a "in vitro" agar bilayer technique based on the CFU-GM assay performed over a feederlayer of stromal cells. The results suggest that bone marrow stromal cells play also an important role in decreasing the toxicity of Doxorubicin. Further SR-4987 stromal cells produce a Doxorubicin metabolite (not belonging to the series of metabolites described in literature) which is completely ineffective in inhibiting the growth of CFU-GM and the activity of topoisomerase I. Our data suggest that bone marrow stromal cells must be considered as a cell population having opposite pharmacological roles in modulating the drug toxicity on hematopoietic progenitors. In our model a mechanism of detoxification concerns the capacity of SR-4987 stromal cells to inactivate the drug. For a better prediction of drug hematotoxicity, it is very important to develop "in vitro" cell models able to discriminate between positive and negative modulation of drug toxicity that stromal cells can exert in the bone marrow microenvironment. 相似文献

E-cadherin (epithelial cadherin) belongs to the calcium-dependent adhesion molecule superfamily and is implicated in the interactions of haematopoietic progenitors and bone marrow stromal cells. Adhesion capacity to bone marrow stroma was impaired for leukaemia cells, suggesting that a breakdown of adhesive mechanisms governed by an adhesion molecule may exist in leukaemic microenvironment. We previously found that E-cadherin was low expressed in primary acute leukaemia cells compared with normal bone marrow mononuclear cells. In this study, we investigate the functional importance of low E-cadherin expression in leukaemia cell behaviours and investigate its effects in the abnormal interaction of leukaemic cells with stromal cells. After expression of E-cadherin was restored by a demethylating agent in leukaemia cells, E-cadherin-specific adhesion was enhanced. Additionally, siRNA (small interfering RNA)-mediated silencing of E-cadherin in Raji cells resulted in a reduction of cell homophilic adhesion and enhancement of cell proliferation and colony formation. These results suggest that low expression of E-cadherin contributes to the vigorous growth and transforming ability of leukaemic cells. 相似文献

Multidrug resistance (MDR) genes in haematological malignancies 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The emergence of drug resistant cells is one of the main obstacles for successful chemotherapeutic treatment of haematological malignancies. Most patients initially respond to chemotherapy at the time of first clinical admission, but often relapse and become refractory to further treatment not only to the drugs used in the first treatment but also to a variety of other drugs. Laboratory investigations have now provided a cellular basis for this clinical observation of multidrug resistance (MDR). Expression of a glycoprotein (referred to as P-glycoprotein) in the membrane of cells made resistantin vitro to naturally occurring anticancer agents like anthracyclines, Vinca alkaloids and epipodophyllotoxins, has been shown to be responsible for the so-called classical MDR phenotype. P-glycoprotein functions as an ATP-dependent, unidirectional drug efflux pump with a broad substrate specificity, that effectively maintains the intracellular cytotoxic drug concentrations under a non-cytotoxic threshold value. Extensive clinical studies have shown that P-glycoprotein is expressed on virtually all types of haematological malignancies, including acute and chronic leukaemias, multiple myelomas and malignant lymphomas. Since in model systems for P-glycoprotein-mediated MDR, drug resistance may be circumvented by the addition of non-cytotoxic agents that can inhibit the outward drug pump, clinical trials have been initiated to determine if such an approach will be feasible in a clinical situation. Preliminary results suggest that some haematological malignancies, among which are acute myelocytic leukaemia, multiple myeloma and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, might benefit from the simultaneous administration of cytotoxic drugs and P-glycoprotein inhibitors. However, randomised clinical trials are needed to evaluate the use of such resistance modifiers in the clinic.Abbreviations ALL

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) cells feature a pronounced apoptotic resistance. The vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) possesses a role in this apoptotic block, although underlying functional mechanisms and the involvement of the microenvironment are unclear. In this study, the VEGF status in CLL was assessed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and immunofluorescence. VEGF receptor 2 (VEGFR2) phosphorylation was determined flow cytometrically and by immunofluorescence. For co-culture, CLL cells were cultivated on a monolayer of the bone marrow-derived stromal cell (BMSC) line HS5. Secreted VEGF was neutralized using the monoclonal antibody mAb293 (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA). To block protein secretion, we used Brefeldin A. VEGF was downregulated in BMSCs by small interfering RNA (siRNA), and we assessed survival by annexin V-fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)/propidium iodide (PI) staining. CLL cells express and secrete VEGF and possess phosphorylated VEGFR2. This positive VEGF status is not sufficient to prevent spontaneous apoptosis in vitro. Coculture with BMSCs, which secrete vast amounts of VEGF, maintains in vitro CLL cell survival. Blockage of secreted VEGF using the monoclonal antibody mAb293 significantly reduced the survival support for cocultured CLL cells. Both general blockage of protein secretion by Brefeldin A in BMSCs, but not in CLL cells, and siRNA-mediated downregulation of VEGF in BMSCs, significantly reduced the coculture-mediated survival support for CLL cells. It can be concluded that BMSC-derived proteins and VEGF, in particular, but not CLL cell-derived VEGF, is essentially involved in the coculture-mediated survival support for CLL cells. Hence, therapeutic targeting of VEGF signaling might be a promising approach to overcome the apoptotic resistance CLL cells feature within their natural microenvironment. 相似文献

A possible role for CXCR4 and its ligand, the CXC chemokine stromal cell-derived factor-1, in the development of bone marrow metastases in neuroblastoma 总被引:40,自引:0,他引:40

The homing of hemopoietic stem cells to the bone marrow is mediated by specific interactions occurring between CXCR4, which is expressed on hemopoietic stem cells, and its ligand, stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1), a CXC chemokine secreted by bone marrow stromal cells. In the present study we evaluated the possibility that neuroblastoma cells use a mechanism similar to that used by hemopoietic stem cells to home to the bone marrow and adhere to bone marrow stromal cells. Our study suggests that CXCR4 expression may be a general characteristic of neuroblastoma cells. SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells express not only CXCR4, but also its ligand, SDF-1. CXCR4 expression on SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells is tightly regulated by tumor cell-derived SDF-1, as demonstrated by the ability of neutralizing Abs against human SDF-1alpha to up-regulate CXCR4 expression on the tumor cells. The reduction in CXCR4 expression following short term exposure to recombinant human SDF-1alpha can be recovered as a result of de novo receptor synthesis. Recombinant human SDF-1alpha induces the migration of CXCR4-expressing SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells in CXCR4- and heterotrimeric G protein-dependent manners. Furthermore, SH-SY5Y cells interact at multiple levels with bone marrow components, as evidenced by the fact that bone marrow-derived constituents promote SH-SY5Y cell migration, adhesion to bone marrow stromal cells, and proliferation. These results suggest that SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells are equipped with adequate machinery to support their homing to the bone marrow. Therefore, the ability of neuroblastoma tumors to preferentially form metastases in the bone marrow may be influenced by a set of complex CXCR4-SDF-1 interactions. 相似文献

Adiponectin, an adipocyte-derived hormone, is attracting considerable interest as a potential drug for diabetes and obesity. Originally cloned from human s.c. fat, the protein is also found in bone marrow fat cells and has an inhibitory effect on adipocyte differentiation. The aim of the present study is to explore possible influences on lymphohematopoiesis. Recombinant adiponectin strongly inhibited B lymphopoiesis in long-term bone marrow cultures, but only when stromal cells were present and only when cultures were initiated with the earliest category of lymphocyte precursors. Cyclooxygenase inhibitors abrogated the response of early lymphoid progenitors to adiponectin in stromal cell-containing cultures. Furthermore, PGE(2), a major product of cyclooxygenase-2 activity, had a direct inhibitory influence on purified hematopoietic cells, suggesting a possible mechanism of adiponectin action in culture. In contrast to lymphopoiesis, myelopoiesis was slightly enhanced in adiponectin-treated bone marrow cultures, and even when cultures were initiated with single lymphomyeloid progenitors. Finally, human B lymphopoiesis was also sensitive to adiponectin in stromal cell cocultures. These results suggest that adiponectin can negatively and selectively influence lymphopoiesis through induction of PG synthesis. They also indicate ways that adipocytes in bone marrow can contribute to regulation of blood cell formation. 相似文献

Background
VLA-4 and CD38 predict a poor clinical outcome in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). We used CLL samples with discordant VLA-4/CD38 risk to address their individual roles in human bone marrow infiltration (BM), CLL cell homing to murine BM, and in supportive CLL cell-stromal cell interactions.Methods
VLA-4, CD38, and Ki-67 expression was measured in CLL cells from peripheral blood (PB) and bone marrow (BM) aspirates. CLL BM infiltration rates, routinely determined by Pathology, were correlated to VLA-4 and CD38 expression. Short-term homing capacity of CLL cells was evaluated by adoptive transfer experiments. CLL cell viability and adhesion in stromal cell co-culture was determined.Results
About 20% of CLL samples in our cohort displayed discordant VLA-4 and CD38 risk, with either high VLA-4 and low CD38 risk or vice versa. Using particularly such samples, we observed that VLA-4, and not CD38, was responsible for recirculation of CLL cells to murine BM. Human BM infiltration was also significantly higher in patients with high VLA-4 risk but not high CD38 risk. However, both molecules acted as independent prognostic markers. While both VLA-4 and CD38 expression were increased in BM-derived CLL cells, and VLA-4+ and CD38+ subpopulations showed enriched Ki-67 expression, VLA-4 did not contribute to CLL cell protection by stromal cells in vitro.Conclusions
Our data argue for a prominent role of VLA-4 but not CD38 expression in the homing of CLL cells to BM niches and in human BM infiltration,but only a limited role in their protection by stromal cells. 相似文献13.

Suspensions of freshly isolated rat hepatocytes and renal tubular cells contain high levels of reduced glutathione (GSH), which exhibits half-lives of 3-5 and 0.7-1 h, respectively. In both cells types the availability of intracellular cysteine is rate limiting for GSH biosynthesis. In hepatocytes, methionine is actively converted to cysteine via the cystathionine pathway, and hepatic glutathione biosynthesis is stimulated by the presence of methionine in the medium. In contrast, extracellular cystine can support renal glutathione synthesis; several disulfides, including cystine, are rapidly taken up by renal cells (but not by hepatocytes) and are reduced to the corresponding thiols via a GSH-linked reaction sequence catalyzed by thiol transferase and glutathione reductase (NAD(P)H). During incubation, hepatocytes release both GSH and glutathione disulfide (GSSG) into the medium; the rate of GSSG efflux is markedly enhanced during hydroperoxide metabolism by glutathione peroxidase. This may lead to GSH depletion and cell injury; the latter seems to be initiated by a perturbation of cellular calcium homeostasis occurring in the glutathione-depleted state. In contrast to hepatocytes, renal cells metabolize extracellular glutathione and glutathione S-conjugates formed during drug biotransformation to the component amino acids and N-acetyl-cysteine S-conjugates, respectively. In addition, renal cells contain a thiol oxidase acting on extracellular GSH and several other thiols. In conclusion, our findings with isolated cells mimic the physiological situation characterized by hepatic synthesis and renal degradation of plasma glutathione and glutathione S-conjugates, and elucidate some of the underlying biochemical mechanisms. 相似文献

Lymph node microenvironment provides chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) cells with signals promoting their survival and granting resistance to chemotherapeutics. CLL cells overexpress PIM kinases, which regulate apoptosis, cell cycle and migration. We demonstrate that BCR crosslinking, CD40 stimulation, and coculture with stromal cells increases PIMs expression in CLL cells, indicating microenvironment‐dependent PIMs regulation. PIM1 and PIM2 expression at diagnosis was higher in patients with advanced disease (Binet C vs. Binet A/B) and in those, who progressed after first‐line treatment. In primary CLL cells, inhibition of PIM kinases with a pan‐PIM inhibitor, SEL24‐B489, decreased PIM‐specific substrate phosphorylation and induced dose‐dependent apoptosis in leukaemic, but not in normal B cells. Cytotoxicity of SEL24‐B489 was similar in TP53‐mutant and TP53 wild‐type cells. Finally, inhibition of PIM kinases decreased CXCR4‐mediated cell chemotaxis in two related mechanisms‐by decreasing CXCR4 phosphorylation and surface expression, and by limiting CXCR4‐triggered mTOR pathway activity. Importantly, PIM and mTOR inhibitors similarly impaired migration, indicating that CXCL12‐triggered mTOR is required for CLL cell chemotaxis. Given the microenvironment‐modulated PIM expression, their pro‐survival function and a role of PIMs in CXCR4‐induced migration, inhibition of these kinases might override microenvironmental protection and be an attractive therapeutic strategy in this disease. 相似文献

Bone marrow and spleen are the major hematopoietic tissue in adult mice. However, little is known about the specific mechanism regulating hematopoiesis within these tissues. Since Dexter et al. first described conditions to maintain bone marrow hematopoiesis, long term bone marrow culture (LTBMC) has been developed in order to analyze the mechanism of the maintenance of proliferation and differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells in vitro. Furthermore, several stromal cell lines which are able to support the growth and differentiation of hematopoietic lineage, has been established from LTBMC. Although it is well known that bone marrow stromal cell lines are able to produce colony stimulating factors, it has been suggested that the stromal cell factors which involve membrane bound moieties must have a key role in the regulation of hematopoiesis. We expect that monoclonal antibodies to the surface of bone marrow stromal cells could detect such a critical stroma-associated protein that bounds the cell surface of the bone marrow stroma. 相似文献

Unique characteristics of rat spleen lymphocyte, L1210 lymphoma and HeLa cells in glutathione biosynthesis from sulfur-containing amino acids 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Suspensions of rat spleen lymphocyte, murine L1210 lymphoma and HeLa cells were partially depleted of glutathione (GSH) with diethyl maleate and allowed to utilize either [35S]methionine, [35S]cystine or [35S]-cysteine for GSH synthesis. Lymphocytes preferentially utilized cysteine, compared to cystine, at a ratio of about 30 to 1, which was not related to differences in the extent of amino acid uptake. Only HeLa cells displayed a slight utilization of methionine via the cystathionine pathway for cysteine and GSH biosynthesis. HeLa and L1210 cells readily utilized either cystine or cysteine for GSH synthesis. The three cell types accumulated detectable levels of intracellular cysteine glutathione mixed disulfide when incubated in a medium containing a high concentration of cystine. Various enzyme activities were measured including gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase, GSH S-transferase and gamma-cystathionase. These results support the concept of a dynamic interorgan relationship of GSH to plasma cyst(e)ine that may have importance for growth of various cell types in vivo. 相似文献

The role of bone marrow-derived stromal cells in the maintenance of plasma cell longevity 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11

Protective circulating Abs originate primarily from long-lived plasma cells in the bone marrow. However, the molecular and cellular basis of plasma cell longevity is unknown. We investigated the capacity of primary bone marrow-derived stromal cells to maintain plasma cell viability in vitro. Plasma cells purified from the bone marrow or lymph nodes died rapidly when plated in media, but a subpopulation of plasma cells survived and secreted high levels of Ab for up to 4 wk when cocultured with stromal cells. Ab secretion was inhibited by the addition of anti-very late Ag-4 to plasma cell/stromal cell cocultures indicating that direct interactions occur and are necessary between stromal cells and plasma cells. The addition of rIL-6 to plasma cells cultured in media alone partially relieved the sharp decline in Ab secretion observed in the absence of stromal cells. Moreover, when stromal cells from IL-6(-/-) mice were used in plasma cell/stromal cell cocultures, Ab levels decreased 80% after 7 days as compared with wild-type stromal cells. Further, IL-6 mRNA message was induced in stromal cells by coculture with plasma cells. These data indicate that bone marrow plasma cells are not intrinsically long-lived, but rather that plasma cells contact and modify bone marrow stromal cells to provide survival factors. 相似文献
