Establishment of continuous cultures of T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia cells at diagnosis.

چکیده
We have devised methods facilitating the establishment of continuous cultures of T-cell blasts from patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia of T-cell type at diagnosis. The cultured cells closely resemble those of the patients at the time of diagnosis with respect to surface markers, karyotype, and T-cell receptor gene rearrangements. Cultured T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (diagnosis) cells (a) are lymphocytes with a convoluted nucleus; (b) have doubling times of 24-48 h; (c) are dependent for growth on interleukin 2; (d) are reverse transcriptase negative; (e) do not form colonies in methyl cellulose; and (f) are clonal with respect to T-cell receptor beta chain rearrangements. Three T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia cultures had a normal diploid karyotype, and one had a 6q- deletion which was also present at the time of diagnosis.

Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a life-threatening syndrome of excessive immune activation, which is characterized by fever, hepatosplenomegaly, cytopenias, hyperferritinemia, hypertriglyceridemia, and/or hypofibrinogenemia, and evidence of hemophagocytosis. Secondary HLH is often seen in adults and categorized based on autoimmune, infections-related, and malignancy-associated etiol...

MicroRNAs (miRNAs, miRs) are small endogenous non-coding RNAs that regulate the expression of protein-encoding genes at the post-transcriptional level. Several studies have described the role of miRNAs in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL), including tumor suppressor and oncogenic miRNAs. Down-regulation of miRNA expression is a prominent feature of human malignancy. This down-regulati...

Two IgM monoclonal antibodies (MAb) with strong reactivity for granulocytes and to a lesser extent for lurkat cell lines were established by immunizing BALBI c mice with a histiocytic cell line (UY37). These two MAbs (designated as 6C9 and 4C4) reacted with blast cells of T-acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) and acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) patients as well as leukemic cells from pat...
