Differing Patterns of Human Protooncogene Expression in Peripheral Blood and Bone Marrow Acute Leukemia Cells1

چکیده
The levels of protooncogene RNA in matched bone marrow and peripheral blood cells obtained from patients with newly diagnosed acute myelogenous leukemia were compared. While the absolute amounts of i--m.tr RNA in the matched specimens are similar, the levels are not correlated. In contrast, while the levels ofc-fos RNA in the matched bone marrow and peripheral blood cells are correlated, the absolute levels of c-fos RNA differ substantially. The level of histone H3 RNA is higher in bone marrow cells than in peripheral blood cells. These substantial differences in protooncogene RNA levels between leukemic cells found in the bone marrow and in the peripheral blood make it impossible to accurately "characterize" gene expression in leukemic cells if studies are restricted to the cells in either compartment. Additionally, there appears to be a significant relationship between the levels of c-fos RNA and triÃ3se phosphate isomerase RNA and the height of the white blood cell count and between the level of c-fos RNA in marrow cells and the proportion of monocytic cells present.

متن کاملAdvances in Hematopoietic Stem Cell Mobilization and Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplantation
Hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) which give rise to different blood cell types are present within the bone marrow microenvironment, especially in flat bones such as skull, vertebrae, pelvis and chest. Interacting factors such as stromal derived factor-1/CXCR4, very late antigen-4/vascular cell adhesion molecule-1, Lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1/ intercellular adhesion molec...
متن کاملAlterations of adiponectin gene expression in bone marrow of acute myeloid leukemia
Background: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is characterized by the proliferation of myeloid precursors and abnormal differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells, which results in the accumulation of immature cells in the bone marrow (BM). The accumulation of these cells in the bone marrow causes molecular and cellular changes in the microenvironment of the bone marrow. The adiponectin hormone orig...
متن کاملUnilateral Ptosis as Initial Manifestation of Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Abstract Background In Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), malignant clones of immature myeloid cells (primarily blasts) proliferate, replace bone marrow, circulate in blood and invade other tissues. The unique presentation of unilateral ptosis and unilateral eyelid swelling in AML has been reported during the present study. Case Report A 7-year-old girl was encountered with progressively increa...
متن کاملThe Difference in Initial Leukocyte Count, Bone Marrow Blast Cell Count and CD 34 Expression in Patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia with and without NPM1 gene Mutation
Background: Mutation in NPM1 gene has been reported to be the most common genetic mutation in de novo acute myeloid leukemia (AML). AML with NPM1 gene mutation usually presents with higher initial leukocyte and blast cell counts and negative CD34 expression. We aimed to investigate the difference of initial leukocyte counts, bone marrow blast cell counts and expression of CD34 among patients wi...
