Clonal origin of cells restricted to monocytic differentiation in acute nonlymphocytic leukemia.

چکیده
Two patients with acute monocytic leukemia and heterozygous for the Mediterranean variant of the X-linked enzyme, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), were investigated to determine the number and type of progenitor cells involved. Mosaicism for Mediterranean G6PD was assessed by the different rate of utilization of 2-deoxy glucose-6-phosphate (2dG6P) by normal and Mediterranean variants of G6PD. The monocytoid blasts were found to express one type of G6PD only, indicating their clonal origin from a common progenitor cell, whereas all other hemopoietic cell populations tested expressed the heterozygous phenotype. The finding of a unique involvement of the monocytic line in two cases of acute nonlymphocytic leukemia (ANLL) represents further evidence of heterogeneity of stem cell involvement in ANLL.

In vitro differentiation of leukemic progenitor cells in various types of acute nonlymphocytic leukemia.
The effects of colony-stimulating factors on differentiation of leukemic progenitor cells were investigated in various types of acute nonlymphocytic leukemia. Two different sources of colony-stimulating factors were used in this study: human placental conditioned medium; and phytohemagglutin-stimulated leukocyte-conditioned medium. At the end of culture, colony types were determined by dual est...

Background: The characteristic of stem cells in self renewal and differentiation to different types of cells has stimulated the interests for using stem cells as a starting material for generating insulin secreting cells. We've evaluated the differentiation potential of Programmable cells of monocytic origin (PCMOs) into insulin producing cells effected from the growth factors and fibroblasts c...

Thirteen previously untreated patients aged 70 and above with acute nonlymphocytic leukemia were treated with aclarubicin (ACR) alone. Among 10 cases (3, acute myelocytic leukemia; 4, acute myelomonocytic leukemia; 2, acute monocytic leukemia; and one, acute erythroleukemia) in which an evaluation was possible, 5 cases (3, acute myelomonocytic leukemia; and 2, acute monocytic leukemia) obtained...

Monoclonal antibodies that react with hematopoietic cells and their precursors in a stage and lineage restricted fashion were used in indirect immunofluorescence assays to examine leukemic cells from 105 pediatric age patients. The differentiative states of blasts from 42 patients with acute nonlymphocytic leukemia (ANLL) were defined by these antibodies. When these were compared to their morph...
متن کاملras gene mutations and clonal analysis using RFLPs of X-chromosome genes in myelodysplastic syndromes.
Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) comprise a heterogeneous group of clonal disorders characterized by quantitative and qualitative abnormalities of hematopoiesis [1, 2]. Up to 30% of cases eventually develop into acute nonlymphocytic leukemia (ANLL). Previous observations by us and others have demonstrated a frequent (30%) activation of the N-ras oncogene in ANLL [3-6]. The involvement of the dif...
