| Popis: | Ph+, bcr/abl+ cells arise due to t(9,22) chromosome translocation and Ph+ chromosome formation in hematopoietic stem cells. The cells show appreciable apoptosis suppression but retain their ability to differentiate and maturate. Ph chromosome, bcr/abl oncogene and Ph+, bcr/abl+ cells themselves are the hallmark of chronic myeloid leukemia. Under leukemia progression differentiating Ph+, bcr/abl+ cells transform into leukemic malignant cells with differentiation block. It is assumed to be a result of subsequent mutations or activation of proliferation of long silent Ph+ cells arisen previously in the stem cells because of the translocation. Real mechanism underlying the cell transformation remains unknown. This work was performed to develop a proper cell model allowing us to study functioning of differentiating Ph+, bcr/abl+ cells and their real transformation into malignant cells with block of differentiation. For this purpose we have investigated kinetics of Ph+, bcr/abl+ cells proliferation, differentiation, cell death and transcription of antiapoptotic genes in cultured 14-day of Ph+ mononuclear cells isolated from peripheral blood of a patient in chronic phase of chronic myeloid leukemia before treatment. The results obtained revealed that Ph+ cell differentiation proceeded in accord with characteristic scheme of chronic myeloid leukemia in vivo. Myeloid cells of hematopoietic cell lineage amounted to 3/4 of live Ph+ mononuclear cells undergoing accumulation and subsequent consumption in the course of differentiation. 95% myeloid cells were differentiating Ph+ granulocytes. The most deal of differentiating Ph+ cells was myelocytes. The rate ratio of myelocyte accumulation to its subsequent consumption showed that the rate of transformation into metamyelocytes was significantly decreased at this differentiation stage. Ph+ cells cultivation curves characterized cell death at different differentiation stages. There were observed the cell death of proliferating Ph+ cells and Ph+ myelocytes, and intensive death of mature cells as well. P/D index, that is ratio of immature Ph+ granulocytes differentiated by cell dividing (blasts, promyelocytes and myelocytes) to the cells differentiated without dividing (metamyelocytes and mature neutrofiles), revealed active of proliferation at the beginning of cultivation and unexpected new proliferative activity at the end of cultivation in the presence of growth factor. The peaks of antiapoptotic bcr/abl gene transcription activity coincided with the observed active proliferation at the beginning and at the end of cultivation. Cell proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis were noticeably accelerated by growth factor treatment. Thus, the study of the Ph+ cells cultivation kinetics is rather informative approach to investigation of continuous regulation of cellular and molecular processes in vitro in the case of chronic myeloid leukemia and allows more complete consideration of Ph+, bcr/abl+ cells hematopoiesis. |
