The common acute lymphoid leukemia antigen on b cells of chronic lymphoid leukemia and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Fourteen out of 21 non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) and 3/11 chronic lymphoid leukemia cells (CLL) had the common acute lymphoid leukemia antigen (CALLA) All 32 patients had monoclonal B-cell proliferation. The CLL patients had 90% CALLA positive cells while the proportion of their leukemic elements was superior. Lymph-nodes or bone marrow invaded by a B monoclonal tumor cell population of NHL had significantly more CALLA positive cells (42.1 +/- 32.5%) than non-invaded tissues (11.4 +/- 10.3%). In NHL tissues with monoclonal B-cells, lymph-nodes had significantly more CALLA positive cells (56.0 +/- 29.9%) than marrow (23.5 +/- 27.7%). It is well known that the (CALLA) is not specific for ALL. It has been believed to be a differentiation antigen on pre B-cells. The present study confirms that it also occurs on B-cells (2,4,6,7,8,9,10,11).

Transformation of bilineal hybrid acute leukemia to acute lymphoid leukemia: a case report with serial analyses of cytogenetics and gene rearrangement.

A 17-year-old male with bilineal hybrid acute leukemia is described. Two-color flow cytometric analysis of blast surface phenotype revealed that there were two groups of blasts which showed either CD 10+ CD 19+ CD 13- CD 33- or CD 10- CD 19- CD 13+ CD 33+, but not both. He developed a complete remission by treatment with vincristine, prednisolone, adriamycin, and L-asparaginase. After 8 months, however, leukemia relapsed and lymphoid blasts were dominant. Cytogenetic analysis at presentation showed 46,XY,t(3;9)(p21;p22), and at relapse it showed 46,XY,t(1;3;9)(1pter----1q32::3p25----3pter;3 qter----3p21::9p22----9pter; 9qter----9p22::3p21----3p25::1q32----1q ter),t(2;19)(p21;q13). Analysis of the heavy chain joining region at diagnosis showed three hybridizing bands, all rearranged, but at relapse only one rearranged band. Analysis of the constant region for the beta T-cell receptor gene (TCR beta) both at diagnosis and at relapse showed one rearranged and one germline band, suggesting that rearrangement of one allele of TCR beta of not only lymphoid but also myeloid blasts occurred. It is considered that the target cell of lymphoid leukemia cells and that of myeloid leukemia cells at diagnosis were the same, which differentiated to two lineages, and the clone which evolved from lymphoid lineage proliferated at relapse.

Lymphoid leukemia in the dog. Acute lymphoblastic leukemia and chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

True lymphoid leukemia of bone-marrow origin may present as two distinct clinical forms in the dog. Acute lymphoblastic leukemia is a rapidly progressive disease associated with proliferation of malignant, undifferentiated lymphoblasts. Chronic lymphocytic leukemia is a more insidious form of malignancy associated with abnormal proliferation of small lymphocytes. Recognition of these clinically distinct forms of leukemia and their differentiation from lymphosarcoma are important in considering prognosis and approach to therapy.

Clinical utility of flow cytometry in the chronic lymphoid leukemias.

The chronic lymphoid leukemias comprise a number of biologically distinct neoplasms of mature lymphocytes. The availability of specific therapies for certain of these tumors makes accurate diagnosis imperative. In most cases, detailed immunophenotypic analysis of the chronic lymphoid leukemias permits specific classification and initiation of the most appropriate therapy. For example, the characteristic immunophenotype of B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL): CD5+, CD23+, FMC7-, CD20 dim+, clonal surface immunoglobulin (sIg) dim+, distinguishes it from another CD5+ B-cell lymphoproliferative disorder, mantle cell lymphoma, which typically displays the composite phenotype: CD5+, CD23-, FMC7+, CD20 bright+, clonal sIg bright+. Likewise, hairy cell leukemia has a characteristic immunophenotype: CD5-, CD11c bright+, CD25+, CD103+, which distinguishes it from other CD5- B-cell lymphoproliferative disorders, including the morphologically similar splenic lymphoma with circulating villous lymphocytes. Immunophenotypic analysis by flow cytometry may also identify clinically relevant subsets of patients within a diagnostic category of leukemia. Thus, in patients with CLL, deviation from the typical immunophenotype is associated with trisomy 12 and mixed-cell morphology. In summary, careful immunophenotyping by flow cytometry facilitates accurate diagnosis in the chronic lymphoid leukemias, and in some settings, may also offer additional therapeutically relevant information.

[Morphometric characteristics of argentaffin nucleolar structures in peripheral blood lymphoid cells from patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphomas and chronic lymphoid leukemias].

Interphase lymphoid nucleoli of Ag-NOR stained site areas were measured on the TAS system in peripheral blood lymphoid cells with the known immunologic phenotype of 19 patients with lymphoid neoplasia (non-Hidgkin's lymphoma, CLL, hair-cell leukemia) and 10 healthy donors. The area of Ag-granules in neoplastic cells is much greater than in normal lymphocytes and does not correlate with a proliferation of cells but correlates with a malignancy grade of the disease. These data are discussed in terms of rDNA transcription patterns in malignant cells.

Constitutive expression of interleukin-8 and its receptor in human myeloid and lymphoid leukemia.

Interleukin-8 (IL-8), a member of the family of small inducible cytokines, is mainly known for its striking neutrophil-activating properties. Constitutive IL-8 production is negligible in normal leukocytes. We examined expression of IL-8 and its receptor in purified leukemic cells from patients with untreated acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML) and lymphoid leukemias. In the majority of cases (18 of 26 AML, 8 of 15 lymphoid leukemias), the cells constitutively expressed IL-8 mRNA transcripts. In all but 3 of these cases, IL-8 mRNA-expressing cells secreted biologically active IL-8 protein. Immunocytochemical analysis showed intracellular IL-8 (5% to 90% of total cells), demonstrating that the leukemic cells themselves rather than contaminants (monocytes or lymphocytes) were the source of IL-8. Ten of 25 AML samples expressed IL-8 receptor mRNA and, with 1 exception, the IL-8 receptor expressing cells also produced its ligand. In contrast, all lymphoid leukemias were negative. Furthermore, frequent coexpression of IL-8 and IL-1 beta transcripts was seen in both AML and lymphoid leukemia samples, whereas fewer cases coexpressed IL-8 and either macrophage colony-stimulating factor or granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor. In leukemic cells expressing the IL-8 receptor, IL-8 induced cytosolic free calcium changes, indicating activation of the classical signaling pathway. These results suggest that IL-8 may have biologic activities in hematopoiesis.

A greater incidence of complex translocations in myeloid leukemias than in lymphomas and lymphoid leukemias associated with IGH rearrangement.

We have shown that the incidence of complex translocations is approximately the same in chronic myeloid leukemia, characterized by the t(9;22)(q34;q11), and in acute myeloid leukemias, characterized by the t(15;17)(q22;q11) or t(8;21)(q22;q22). This incidence is almost threefold greater than the incidence of complex translocations in lymphomas and lymphoid leukemias characterized by the t(8;14)(q24;q32) or t(14;18)(q32;q21). The genomic recombination, which gives rise to the translocations in lymphoid cells, results mostly from errors of IGH gene rearrangement. Genomic recombination underlying myeloid leukemias has a different cause, and a clue to this may lie in the greater incidence of complex chromosome rearrangements.
