Abnormal erythroid cell proliferation and myelofibrosis in a cat.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A cat was presented with severe progressive anemia despite marked erythroblastosis. The cat was negative for feline leukemia virus antigen and feline immunodeficiency virus antibody. Bone marrow cytology revealed an excess of erythroid cells with a predominance of prorubricytes and basophilic rubricytes. No response to immunosuppressive therapy was obtained, and a tentative diagnosis of myelodysplastic syndrome was made. The cat showed a partial response to low-dose cytarabine (20 mg/m(2) subcutaneously q24) but died 51 days after the 1st admission. Histopathological examination revealed fibrosis in the bone marrow and marked infiltration of erythroid cells into other organs.

Polycythemia vera. The in vitro response of normal and abnormal stem cell lines to erythropoietin.
Bone marrow cells from two glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PD) heterozygotes with polycythemia vera were cultured to determine whether progenitors which wre not of the polycythemia vera clone were present, and, if present, which cell lines contributed to the increase in erythroid colonies observed in response to added erythropoietin (ESF). To accomplish this, the G-6-PD isoenzyme activit...
متن کاملBoth B and T lymphocytes may be clonally involved in myelofibrosis with myeloid metaplasia.
A combination of magnetic cell sorting (MACS) and fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) techniques was used to detect clonal cytogenetic markers in different myeloid and lymphoid cell types of the peripheral blood from 4 patients with myelofibrosis with myeloid metaplasia (MMM) that was associated with either a 13q- or a 20q- karyotypic abnormality. Interphase cytogenetics studies demonstrat...
متن کاملKey Regulatory Gene Expression in Erythroleukemia Differentiation
The characteristics of cellular and molecular mechanisms associated with cell proliferation and differentiation is important to understand malignancy. In this report we characterise a leukemic model, D5A1, to study the action of differentiation agent, cellular events and gene expression of the selected transcription factors. Cells induced with 4 mM hexamethylene bisacetamide (HMBA) caused signs...
متن کاملBiennial report on carcinogens. A work in progress.
A case of primary myelofibrosis was identified with a previously unreported complex karyotype with two abnormal clones in addition to a proportion of normal cells: 46,XY, 2, 1 1, + der(2)t(2; 1) (q24/31;q13), + mar and 45,XY, 2, 1 1, + der(2)t(2;1 1)(q24/31;q13), + mar, 17,del(7q). Study of circulating committed progenitors from this patient consistently showed (1) an absence of erythroid proge...
متن کاملA Senescence-Like Cell-Cycle Arrest Occurs During Megakaryocytic Maturation: Implications for Physiological and Pathological Megakaryocytic Proliferation
Thrombopoietin (TPO) via signaling through its cognate receptor MPL is a key cytokine involved in the regulation of megakaryocyte differentiation leading to platelet production. Mature megakaryocytes are polyploid cells that have arrested DNA replication and cellular proliferation but continue sustained protein synthesis. Here, we show that TPO induces cell-cycle arrest in the megakaryocytic UT...
