| Popis: | A panel of leukemia cell lines has been assembled over the last 30 years representing a spectrum of erythroid cells arrested at various stages of differentiation. The oldest cell line is K-562 which is one of the most prolific in use. Most cell lines have been established from acute myeloid leukemia M6 or chronic myeloid leukemia in blast crisis and generally express immunoprofiles typically seen in immature erythroid cells. Several cell lines are constitutively growth factor-dependent, responding proliferatively to a variety of cytokines. The predominant cytogenetic abnormalities are the t(9;22)(q34;q11) found exclusively in CML-derived cell lines, and rearrangements of chromosomes 5 and 7 which occur in all disease subtypes. Ph+ve cell lines consistently displayed structural and numerical changes associated with disease evolution, including +8, -17/17p-/i(17q), and +19. It is striking that many cell lines though committed to either the erythroid or megakaryocytic lineage tend to co-express features of the other lineage, consistent with the concept of a common erythroid-megakaryocytic progenitor. Several cell lines may be induced to differentiate along the erythroid, megakaryocytic or monocytic pathway by treatment with pharmacological or physiological reagents. Notable functional features include expression of various globin chains or the complete hemoglobins as erythroid attributes. Taken together, this class of cell lines is relatively well characterized and affords useful model systems for immature erythroid cells. |
