چکیده

Peripheral blood blasts from a patient with acute megakaryoblastic leukemia were placed into liquid cultures with recombinant growth factors. Growth, but not differentiation, was supported by interleukin-3 (IL-3) or granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) for the first 30 days of culture. Sustained growth occurred only with GM-CSF and gave rise to the cell line MB-02, which has been in continuous culture for over 1 year. The cell line retained the surface phenotype of the leukemic megakaryoblasts except for the loss of glycoproteins Ib and IIb/IIIa, which were induced after exposure to phorbol esters. The induction of erythropoiesis occurred when GM-CSF-deprived cells were cultured with erythropoietin (Epo). Well-defined morphologic stages of differentiation ranging from primitive erythroblasts to nuclei-extruding normoblasts were seen. Transforming growth factor-beta inhibited GM-CSF- and Epo-dependent growth, but not erythroid maturation. Indirect immunofluorescence using globin chain-specific monoclonal antibodies detected fetal, but not adult hemoglobin in the uninduced cells. beta-globin was induced and gamma-globin was increased after Epo exposure. Both globin species accumulated in the developing erythrocytes until terminal differentiation. Quantitative S1 analysis of beta-like globin transcripts showed very low levels of epsilon- and beta-globin expression and high levels of gamma-globin expression in cells maintained in GM-CSF. Five days after induction with Epo, epsilon message decreased to barely detectable levels while gamma and beta transcripts increased threefold and 20-fold, respectively. This novel cell line not only retains many characteristics of the leukemic megakaryoblasts from which it was derived, but also can be induced to recapitulate apparent normal erythropoiesis.

Stem cell factor influences the proliferation and erythroid differentiation of the MB-02 human erythroleukemia cell line by binding to a high-affinity c-kit receptor.

Stem cell factor (SCF) acts in synergy with other growth factors such as erythropoietin (Epo), granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), or interleukin-3 (IL-3), to stimulate the growth of primitive hematopoietic cells. Because of the prominent role of CSF in the maintenance of normal erythropoiesis in vivo, we examined the effects of SCF on the Epo-inducible human erythroleuke...

Induction of Apoptosis on K562 Cell Line and Double Strand Breaks on Colon Cancer Cell Line Expressing High Affinity Receptor for Granulocyte Macrophage-Colony Stimulating factor (GM-CSF)

Background: Immunotoxins are comprised of both the cell targeting and the cell killing moieties. We previously established a new immunotoxin, i.e. Shiga toxin granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor (StxA1-GM-CSF), comprises of catalytic domain of Stx, as a killing moiety and GM-CSF, as a cell targeting moiety. In this study, the ability of the immunotoxin to induce apoptosis and dou...

Expression of a Chimeric Protein Containing the Catalytic Domain of Shiga-Like Toxin and Human Granulocyte Macrophage Colony-Stimulating Factor (hGM-CSF) in Escherichia coli and Its Recognition by Reciprocal Antibodies

Fusion of two genes at DNA level produces a single protein, known as a chimeric protein. Immunotoxins are chimeric proteins composed of specific cell targeting and cell killing moieties. Bacterial or plant toxins are commonly used as the killing moieties of the chimeric immunotoxins. In this investigation, the catalytic domain of Shiga-like toxin (A1) was fused to human granulocyte macrophage ...

Growth and differentiation of a human megakaryoblastic cell line, CMK.

Recently, a human megakaryoblastic cell line, CMK, was established from the peripheral blood of a megakaryoblastic leukemia patient with Down syndrome. Using this cell line, we studied the proliferation and differentiation of megakaryocytic cells in the presence of highly purified human hematopoietic factors and phorbol 12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA). In a methylcellulose culture system, interle...
