Dysregulated angiogenesis in B-chronic lymphocytic leukemia: Morphologic, immunohistochemical, and flow cytometric evidence

Background

The extent of enhanced bone marrow angiogenesis in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and relationship to proangiogenic factors and prognostic indicators is largely unexplored.

Methods

To further investigate the role of angiogenesis in CLL by evaluating the topography and extent of angiogenesis in a group of CLL bone marrow biopsies, to study the expression of pro and antiangiogenic vascular factors in CLL cells to more precisely document the cell types producing these factors, and to evaluate the role, if any, of localized hypoxia in upregulation of angiogenesis in CLL We used immunohistochemistry (IHC) (n = 21 pts) with antibodies to CD3 and CD20, proangiogenic (VEGF, HIF-1a) and antiangiogenic (TSP-1) factors, and VEGF receptors -1 and -2 to examine pattern/extent of CLL marrow involvement, microvessel density (MVD), and angiogenic characteristics; flow cytometry (FC) was performed on 21 additional cases for VEGF and TSP-1.

Results

CLL patients had higher MVD (23.8 vs 14.6, p~0.0002) compared to controls (n = 10). MVD was highest at the periphery of focal infiltrates, was not enhanced in proliferation centers, and was increased irrespective of the presence or absence of cytogenetic/immunophenotypic markers of aggressivity. By IHC, CLL cells were VEGF(+), HIF-1a (+), TSP-1(-), VEGFR-1(+), and VEGFR-2(+). By FC, CLL cells were 1.4–2.0-fold brighter for VEGF than T cells and were TSP-1(-).

Conclusion

CLL demonstrates enhanced angiogenesis, with increased MVD, upregulated VEGF and downregulated TSP-1. Upregulation of HIF-1a in all CLL cases suggests localized tissue hypoxia as an important stimulant of microvessel proliferation. The presence of VEGF receptors on CLL cells implies an autocrine effect for VEGF. Differences in MVD did not correlate with traditional genetic/immunophenotypic markers of aggressiveness.     

HER2、VEGF和MVD与胃癌患者临床病理特征的关系

目的：探讨HER2、VEGF的表达和MVD水平及这三者与胃癌的临床病理和生物学特性的关系。方法：胃癌患者26例,其中14例患者接受了全胃切除术,12例患者行胃癌活检,在癌组织中心获得有效标本设为胃癌组,以距离癌组织中心5cm的正常癌组织为正常组。RT-PCR法检测两组胃组织中HER2mRNA的表达;免疫组织化学检测胃组织中VEGF的表达;计算各组微血管密度。结果：与正常组相比,胃癌组HER2mRNA表达明显增加;正常组胃组织VEGF平均灰度值为21．51±4．64,而胃癌组胃组织VEGF平均灰度值为167．23±18．85,两组相比有明显差异;正常组胃组织MVD为13．44±5．34个,与正常组相比,胃癌组胃组织MVD水平（65．74±9．87个）明显增高;HER2与患者TNM分期成正相关,VEGF与患者性别及TNM分期均成正相关,而MVD与患者临床病理特征无相关性。结论：血管内皮生长因子的表达及与胃癌患者临床病理特征的相关性表明,HER2、VEGF两个分子生物标志物在肿瘤的发生发展中具有重要作用,其能够被用来作为预测的侵袭性胃癌预后的重要参数。

Silencing of long noncoding RNA SRRM2-AS exerts suppressive effects on angiogenesis in nasopharyngeal carcinoma via activating MYLK-mediated cGMP-PKG signaling pathway

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play a crucial role in several malignances, involving nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), a heterogeneous disease. This study investigated mechanism of serine/arginine repetitive matrix protein 2-alternative splicing (SRRM2-AS) in NPC cell proliferation, differentiation, and angiogenesis. Initially, differentially expressed lncRNAs were screened out via microarray analysis. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) protein positive rate and microvessel density (MVD) were determined in NPC and adjacent tissues. NPC CNE-2 cells were treated with a series of vector and small interfering RNA to explore the effect of SRRM2-AS in NPC. The target relationship between myosin light chain kinase (MYLK) and SRRM2-AS was verified. Levels of SRRM2-AS, MYLK, cGMP, PKG, VEGF, PCNA, Ki-67, B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2), Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax), and Caspase 3 were determined after transfection. Finally, the effect of SRRM2-AS on cell proliferation, colony formation, angiogenesis, cell cycle, and apoptosis in NPC was evaluated. SRRM2-AS was highly expressed and MYLK was poorly expressed in NPC tissues. VEGF protein positive rate and MVD were elevated in NPC tissues. MYLK was confirmed to be a target gene of SRRM2-AS. Silencing of SRRM2-AS elevated levels of MYLK, cGMP, PKG, Bax, and Caspase 3, but decreased levels of VEGF, PCNA, Ki-67, and Bcl-2. Especially, silencing of SRRM2-AS suppressed cell proliferation, colony formation and angiogenesis, blocked cell cycle, and enhanced cell apoptosis in NPC. Our results suggested that silencing of SRRM2-AS protected against angiogenesis of NPC cells by upregulating MYLK and activating the cGMP-PKG signaling pathway, which provides a new target for NPC treatment.     

Monitoring treatment response of childhood acute lymphocytic leukemia with certain molecular and biochemical markers

Apoptosis is the primary mechanism through which most chemotherapeutic agents induce tumor cell death. The purpose of this study was to monitor the expression of pro- and anti-apoptotic proteins CD(95) , Bcl-2, as well as copper and zinc levels in the peripheral blood of children with acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) prior to and 6 months after the beginning of chemotherapy. Blood parameters and bone marrow blast count were also assessed. Twenty of 26 patients who received treatment showed amelioration in apoptotic response, which is reflected in the elevation of CD(95) , whereas Bcl-2 protein was significantly lowered. In these patients, the elevated serum copper level was not significantly affected whereas the low serum zinc level was significantly raised. Improvement in blood parameters and bone marrow blast count were also achieved. Taken together, the data suggested that assessment of apoptosis signaling molecules might have a predictive impact on treatment outcome.     

Improved angiogenic potency by implantation of ex vivo hypoxia prestimulated bone marrow cells in rats

Therapeutic angiogenesis can be induced by local implantation of bone marrow cells. We tried to enhance the angiogenic potential of this treatment by ex vivo hypoxia stimulation of bone marrow cells before implantation. Bone marrow cells were collected and cultured at 33 degrees C under 2% O(2)-5% CO(2)-90% N(2) (hypoxia) or 95% air-5% CO(2) (normoxia). Cells were also injected into the ischemic hindlimb of rats after 24 h of culture. Hypoxia culture increased the mRNA expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), vascular endothelial (VE)-cadherin, and fetal liver kinase-1 (Flk-1) from 2.5- to fivefold in bone marrow cells. The levels of VEGF protein in the ischemic hindlimb were significantly higher 1 and 3 days after implantation with hypoxia-cultured cells than with normoxia-cultured or noncultured cells. The microvessel density and blood flow rate in the ischemic hindlimbs were also significantly (P < 0.001) higher 2 wk after implantation with hypoxia-cultured cells (89.7 +/- 5.5%) than with normoxia-cultured cells (67.0 +/- 9.6%) or noncultured cells (70.4 +/- 7.7%). Ex vivo hypoxia stimulation increased the VEGF mRNA expression and endothelial differentiation of bone marrow cells, which together contributed to improved therapeutic angiogenesis in the ischemic hindlimb after implantation.
