Abstract

A myeloid cell line (YM711) was established by transfecting exogenous PML/RARalpha cDNA into peripheral blood stem cells. The cells were positive for CD33, CD34, CD38, CD13, CD14, and CD11b. Cytochemical examination revealed YM711 cells to be positive for peroxidase, alpha-naphtyl butyrate esterase, and acid phosphatase as well. Karyotypic analysis showed them to be nearly tetraploid (92 XXYY). Reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction showed that, although PML/RARalpha mRNA was detected in YM711, these cells could not be differentiated by all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA). We therefore designated the YM711 cell line as being ATRA resistant. Because YM711 expressed multi drug resistance 1 (MDR-1) mRNA and p-glycoprotein cell surface protein, we assessed whether verapamil and ATRA would induce the differentiation of YM711 cells; they did not. An increased expression of cellular retinoic acid-binding protein (CRABP)-II was also detected on YM711 cells compared with that of HL-60. These results suggest that high level of expression of CRABP-II may contribute to be the mechanism of ATRA resistance. This cell line may be useful in evaluating the mechanism of resistance to retinoid.

CNS Lymphoma

In CNS lymphoma, cancerous cells from lymph tissues or other parts of the body form tumors in the brain and/or spinal cord. Here is the latest research on this rare non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
