Survival of B lineage leukemic cells: signals from the bone marrow microenvironment

Leukemia & Lymphoma
Laura F Gibson

Abstract

Stromal cells are an essential component of the bone marrow microenvironment that regulate development of immature hematopoietic progenitor cells. Through production of soluble cytokines, and signaling through adhesion molecule interactions, stromal cells impact survival, proliferation, and differentiation of hematopoietic progenitor cells. Similarities between normal pro-B and pre-B cells and B lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemic (ALL) progenitors have been well characterized which provide a model for investigation of the mechanisms by which ALL cells respond to bone marrow microenvironment signals. In addition to providing survival signals to B lineage ALL during initiation of disease, the bone marrow has long been recognized as a "sanctuary site" for leukemic cells during traditional chemotherapy. In the current review, mechanisms by which stromal cells contribute to leukemic cell survival, and the potential impact on treatment efficacy, are discussed. A growing appreciation of the significance of the bone marrow microenvironment in the progression of ALL, and further investigation of the signaling between leukemic progenitors and stromal cells, may contribute to novel treatment strategies aimed at enhancing sensitivity of ...Continue Reading

Blood And Marrow Transplantation

The use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or blood and marrow transplantation (bmt) is on the increase worldwide. BMT is used to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. Here is the latest research on bone and marrow transplantation.

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.

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.
