Abstract
Juvenile chronic myelogenous leukemia (JCML) is a hematologic malignancy of monocyte-macrophage lineage in which leukemic progression is mediated in an autocrine manner by tumor necrosis factor (TNF-alpha), GM-CSF and possibly other growth factors. Cytogenetic data showing involvement of both erythroid and monocyte-macrophage lineages in the JCML leukemic clone, as well as an observed episode of B-lineage lymphoid blast crisis in JCML, has strengthened the thesis for a lympho-hematopoietic pluripotent stem cell origin for the disorder. To study this further, JCML CD34+ cells from bone marrow (BM) or spleen from six newly diagnosed patients were isolated and cultured in clonogenic assays with combinations of recombinant cytokines. Compared to control CD34+ cells, JCML cells from all patients showed an aberrant growth pattern restricted almost exclusively to the monocyte-macrophage lineage. Most of the clonogenic activity was seen in a subsorted population of CD34+, HLA-Dr- cells. Additionally, an exaggerated growth response to minute doses of GM-CSF that had no effect on control cells was observed with JCML CD34+ cells. Recloning ("self-renewal") of JCML CD34+ cells was also strongly promoted by GM-CSF. JCML colonies also formed...Continue Reading
