RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: This study was to investigate the expression of miR-10a in the different FAB subtype of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and its relationship with drug resistance. METHODS: Forty de novo patients with AML, 16 patients with non-malignant hematologic disease and three AML cell lines HL-60, U937 and HL-60/ADR were enrolled in this study, the MiR-10a expression in bone marrow mononuclear cells of above-mentioned patients and 3 AML cell lines was detected by TaqMan RT-PCR. The correlation of miR-10a with clinicopathological factors of AML patients was analyzed. RESULTS: The miR-10a expression level in HL-60 cell line was higher than that in U937 cell line (P = 0.039). And its expression level in de novo AML patients was higher than that in patients with non-malignant hematologic disease (P < 0.01). FAB-AML-M3 patients exhibited higher expression of miR-10a than that in M1, M2 and M4 (P < 0.05); HL-60/ADR cell line showed higher miR-10a expression than that in HL-60 cell line (P < 0.01) . Except M3, the patients without CR (non-CR) after the first cycle of chemotherapy showed a higher level of miR-10a as compared with CR patients (P < 0.01). CONCLUSION: The high expression of miR-10a may be closely related to over-proliferation of promyelocyte and drug resistance of acute myeloid leukemia cells, except M3.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Explore the feasibility of allo- hemopietic stem cell transplants in treating patients with B cell acute lymphocytic leukemia. METHODS: Between september 2006 and February 2011, fifteen patients with B cell acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) were treated by allo-hemopietic stem cell transplants (HSCT). Stem cell sources were peripheral blood. Six patients were conditioned by busulfan (BU) and cyclophosphamide (CY) and nine patients were conditioned with TBI and cyclophosphamide (CY). Graft versus host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis regimen consisted of cyclosporine A (CSA), methotrex ate (MTX) and mycophenolatemofetil (MMF). RESULTS: Patients received a median of 7.98×108·kg⁻¹ (5.36-12.30×108·kg⁻¹) mononuclear cells (MNC). The median time of ANC>0.5×109/L was day 12 (10-15), and PLT>20.0×109/L was day 13 (11-16). Extensive acute GVHD occurred in 6 (40.0%) patients, and extensive chronic GVHD was recorded in 6 (40.0%) patients. Nine patients were alive after 2.5-65 months follow-up. CONCLUSION: Allogeneic stem cell transplant could be effective in treating patients with B cell acute lymphocytic leukemia.

RESUMO

This study was aimed to further clarify the pathogenesis of acute myeloid leukemia(AML), and to forecast new somatic mutations related with leukemia. The peripheral blood samples on initial diagnosis and remission stage of a patient with partial differentiated AML(AML-M2) were sequenced by high throughput transcriptome sequencing technology. The single nucleotide variation (SNV) which possibly related with pathogenesis of leukemia was screened through comparison of the expressed genes on initial diagnosis and after remission. The results showed that the Reads distributed uniformly in genome and covered completely, detecting most expression genes. by screening the SNV, a total of 29881 mutations were discovered, including 28113 germline mutations and 752 individual mutations. Among them, 11 acquired mutations (P < 0.05) in coding regions were got, including ZRSR1, MLXIP, TLN1, LAP3, HK3. It is concluded that the high throughput sequencing as an unbiased new method can find new tumor-related mutations. MLXIP may be a new molecular marker of AML-M2.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To determine the expressions of miR-155, miR-34a and miR-30a in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and to explore their potential correlation with clinicopathological characteristics. METHODS: The expression level of miR-155, miR-34a and miR-30a in 46 DLBCL samples were determined with TaqMan real-time polymerase chain reaction. Interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization (I-FISH) was performed to detect MYC and p53 genes' status, and immunohistochemistry (Envision method) was used to evaluate the expression of CD3, CD10, CD20, BCL-6 and MUM-1 in DLBCL. The DLBCLs were classified into germinal center B cell-like (GCB) and non germinal center B cell-like (non-GCB) subtypes according to Hans' criteria. RESULTS: Compared with normal controls, miR-155 expression level was significantly higher in DLBCL. The expression level of miR-155 in non-GCB type was higher than that in GCB type. It was shown that the patients with MYC rearrangement had lower expression level of miR-155 than the negative controls. Compared with p53 normal group, the expression level of miR-34a was significantly lower in p53 deletion group. It was also shown that the patients with BCL-6 protein expression had lower expression of miR-30a compared with the negative group. CONCLUSION: miR-155 expression level is different in normal controls, DLBCL and patients with subtype DLBCL. It therefore has a diagnosis value for DLBCL. miR-34a is of great prognostic significance. miR-155, miR-34a and miR-30a may be potential therapy targets for DLBCL.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To investigate BCL-6, MYC and p53 genes abnormalities in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and correlate the result with immunosubtypes and prognosis. METHODS: Interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization (I-FISH) was performed to detect the BCL-6, MYC and p53 genes. Immunohistochemistry (Envision method) was used to measure the expressions of CD3, CD10, CD20, BCL-6, MUM -1, BCL-2 and Ki-67 genes in DLBCL. The patients were classified into germinal center B cell-like (GCB) and non-GCB subtypes according to Hans' algorithm. RESULTS: BCL-6 rearrangement was detected in 10 of 46 DLBCL cases. The presence of gene rearrangement had no correlation with BCL-6 protein expression (P= 0.245). Overall survival (OS, P= 0.138) and progression-free survival (PFS, P= 0.095) were not influenced by BCL-6 rearrangement. All MYC rearrangements were detected in GCB type DLBCL. Deletion of p53 gene was detected in 14 cases and was significantly associated with shorter OS (P= 0.046) and PFS (P= 0.043). CONCLUSION: I-FISH is a rapid, accurate and sensitive method for detecting BCL-6, MYC and p53 abnormalities. No correlation was found between BCL-6 gene rearrangement and BCL-6 protein expression. MYC translocation was more common in GCB type DLBCL compared with non-GCB type ones. Patients with p53 deletion had a poorer prognosis. The p53 gene may provide a useful indicator for the prognosis of DLBCL.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Chromosomal abnormalities have been shown to play an important prognostic role in multiple myeloma (MM). Interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization (i-FISH) has been much more effective to identify cytogenetic aberrations in MM than conventional cytogenetic technique (CC). To clearly determine the cytogenetic features of Chinese MM patients and identify their prognostic implications, we designed a multicenter study based on i-FISH including 672 patients from 52 hospitals in China. METHODS: All 672 patients were systematically screened for the following genomic aberrations: del(13q), IgH rearrangement, del(p53) and 1q21 amplifications. RESULTS: The analysis showed that the chromosomal changes were detected in 22.1% patients by CC and in 82.3% patients by i-FISH. The most common abnormalities by CC were chromosome 1 aberrations (48.4%), -13/13q- (37.6%), hyperdiploidy (36.6%), hypodiploidy (30.1%) and IgH rearrangements (23.7%). The most frequent abnormalities by FISH was del(13q), which was found in 60.4% patients, whereas IgH rearrangement, 1q21 amplification and p53 deletions were detected in 57.6%, 49.0% and 34.7% cases, respectively. By statistical analysis, -13/13q- by CC was associated with low level of platelet (P = 0.015), hyperdiploidy was associated with low level of serum albumin (P = 0.028), and IgH rearrangement by FISH was associated with high level of ß2 microglobulin (P = 0.019). Moreover, 1q21 amplification and del(p53) by FISH conferred a high incidence of progressive disease (PD) after initial therapy. Metaphase detection of IgH rearrangements and chromosome 1 aberrations concurrently was associated with a short progression free survival (PFS) (P = 0.036). No significant prognostic implications of other cytogenetic abnormalities were found associated with overall survival and PFS. CONCLUSIONS: Chinese MM patients had similar cytogenetic abnormalities compared with the previous reported studies. However, the prognostic significance of FISH aberrations were not clearly determined and further study is required.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of thrombopoietin (TPO) on platelet engraftment in hematological malignancies patients after allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). METHODS: One hundred and twenty patients were enrolled in a multicenter, open-label, randomized, controlled clinical trial, and were randomized into 4 treatment groups following allo-HSCT. Group A was the control arm without TPO, while group B, C and D were trial arms with received 300 U×kg(-1)×d(-1) of TPO starting from day +1, +4 and +7, respectively. A total of 89 cases were evaluated, of which 22 cases in group A, 23 in group B, 20 in group C and 24 in group D. Efficacy evaluation (the time of platelet engraftment, the number of platelet transfusion) and safety evaluation \[adverse events, routine blood tests, liver and renal function, coagulation function and occurrence of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD)\] were observed. RESULTS: The median platelet engraftment time in experimental groups (groups B, C and D) were on day (13.17 ± 2.89), day (12.15 ± 2.08), day (12.33 ± 1.76), respectively, and that in control group was on day (14.82 ± 5.05). There was statistically significant difference between two groups (P = 0.029), There were no statistically significant difference in the average amount of platelet transfusion, platelet engraftment time, and platelet nadir value among the 3 experimental groups. No significant adverse events were observed in experimental groups. CONCLUSIONS: TPO administration following allo-HSCT for patients with hematologic malignancies appears to shorten platelet engraftment time. TPO given starting from day +7 is effective and safe.

RESUMO

This study was aimed to investigate the effect of 1,25(OH)(2) vitamin D(3) [1,25(OH)(2) Vit D(3)] on the differentiation, maturation and function of human dendritic cells (DC) in vitro and its mechanism. Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells were induced to differentiate to DC in vitro. The DC in test group were cultured with 1,25(OH)(2) Vit D(3) 1 nmol/L for 9 d, while the DC in control group were cultured with the equivalent of absolute alcohol. The expression of co-stimulatory molecules on DC were analyzed by flow cytometry. T cell proliferation induced by DC was assessed by MTT method. The expression of indoleamine 2, 3-dioxygenase (IDO) protein was determined by Western blot. The results showed that compared with the control group, the expression of CD80, CD83 and CD86 on DC in test group was significantly down-regulated (P < 0.05), while the CD1a was up-regulated (P < 0.05). The expression rate of CD80, CD83, CD86, CD1a in test group were (40.43 ± 9.83)%, (20.04 ± 4.73)%, (14.45 ± 5.38)%, (58.48 ± 10.72)% respectively, while in control group were (29.36 ± 13.34)%, (35.91 ± 10.19)%, (27.15 ± 11.64)%, (72.20 ± 12.79)% respectively. Compared with the control group, 1,25(OH)(2) Vit D(3)-treated DC exhibited a markedly reduced ability to stimulate allogenic T cell proliferation and up-regulated IDO protein expression.It is concluded that 1,25(OH)(2) Vit D(3) efficiently inhibits the maturation of DC and DC-mediated T cell proliferation, which may be related to the up-regulation of IDO protein expression.

RESUMO

To investigate the effects of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase inhibitor simvastatin (SV) on proliferation, apoptosis and the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway in human acute monocytic leukemia cell line SHI-1. SHI-1 cells were incubated with different concentrations of SV (5, 10, 15 µmol/L). Otherwise, SHI-1 cells without any treatment were used as control. Cells in different groups were collected at 24, 48 and 72 h after incubation for further detection. MTT method was used to assay the growth inhibition rate and flow cytometry was used to detect the early stage apoptosis ratio. The human PI3K-AKT Signaling Pathway RT(2) Profiler(TM) PCR Array was used to detect the expression of 84 genes involved in PI3K-AKT signaling. The results indicated that the SV inhibited the proliferation and inducted the apoptosis of SHI-1 cells in time- and dose-dependent manners significantly. The growth inhibition rates of SHI-1 cells treated with 15 µmol/L SV for 24, 48 and 72 h were 26.82, 47.09 and 63.92, respectively; and their early stage apoptosis ratios were 5.75, 13.25 and 15.59, respectively. Compared with the control group, expression levels of 39 genes were changed in the group of 15 µmol/L SV at 48 h, among them 26 genes were down-regulated and 13 genes were up-regulated. It is concluded that the SV can inhibit proliferation and induce apoptosis of SHI-1 cells, and the mechanism may be associated with the changes of gene expression level in PI3K-AKT signaling pathway regulated by SV.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of simvastatin (SV) plus all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) on the proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis and WT1/hDMP1 gene expression profiles of human promyelocytic leukemia cell line NB4. METHODS: The NB4 cell was incubated with simvastatin and ATRA alone or in combination. And the NB4 cell without any treatment was adopted as a normal control. The cells of different groups were collected at 24, 48 and 72 h post-incubation. Their morphological changes were observed after Wright staining. The method of MTT was employed to assay the growth inhibition rate and flow cytometry was used to detect the early-stage ratios of apoptosis and cell necrosis. Real-time quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to detect the WT1/hDMP1 gene expression levels. RESULTS: The cell inhibition rates increased gradually (F = 7.15, P = 0.000) at 15, 10 and 5 µmol/L SV respectively. And so did the expression levels of CD11b (F = 3.41, P = 0.014) and Annexin-V (F = 43.38, P = 0.000). However the expression levels of WT1 decreased gradually (F = 5.35, P = 0.001) reversely with the elevated levels of hDMP1 (F = 22.61, P = 0.000). Furthermore the NB4 cell exhibited the most significant changes at 15 µmol/L SV. After a 72-hour incubation, the expression levels of CD11b (89.46% ± 9.13%)and hDMP1 (626.9 ± 56.9) in NB4 cells at 15 µmol/L SV plus 0.5 µmol/L ATRA were significantly higher than those with ATRA(71.27% ± 7.27%, P = 0.000 and 421.8 ± 38.3, P = 0.003 in each) and SV alone(62.41% ± 6.37%, P = 0.003 and 241.4 ± 21.9, P = 0.003 in each). A combination of 15 µmol/L SV with 0.5 µmol/L ATRA displayed obvious interactions with the expressions of CD11b and hDMP1 (F = 4.09, P = 0.025 and F = 29.58, P = 0.000 in each). And there was no significant interaction for cell inhibition rates and Annexin-V expression. CONCLUSION: Simvastatin in vitro inhibits the proliferation of NB4 cell, induces its differentiation and promotes its apoptosis. And the lowered expression of WT1 has a dose-dependent correlation with the elevated expression of hDMP1. It indicates that simvastatin has the synergistic in vitro anti-promyelocytic potency.

RESUMO

The aim of this study was to investigate how the killer immune globulin-like inhibition receptor (KIR) in match with HLA-Cw impacts on NK cell activity. Mononuclear cells were isolated in 20 ml peripheral blood from 27 healthy persons by Ficoll-Hypaque and purified by NK cell isolation kit. Target cells were mononuclear cells isolated from bone marrow of 30 de novo AML patients. The KIR expression were detected by flow cytometry with antibodies against CD158a, CD158b. The 2 ml of peripheral blood from healthy persons and AML patients were collected, the DNA was extracted by using PROTRANS method, the HLA-Cw and KIR gene were detected by PCR-SSP typing with sequence specific primers. The NK cell cytotoxicity against AML cells was determined by MTT after combination of KIR with HLA-Cw gene. The results indicated that the purity of NK cells was (90.8 +/- 6.08)%. The less the KIR/HLA-Cw matched, the more activity was shown in NK cells. When no match of NK cell/target cell (KIR/HLA-Cw) there was, the cytotoxicity was (50.66 +/- 8.40)%, 1 or 2 matches showed cytotoxicity of (38.28 +/- 6.71)% and (19.74 +/- 4.15)% (p < 0.001). Expression level of KIRs on NK cells also was related with cytotoxicity level (p < 0.001). It is concluded that the interaction between inhibitory KIR and HLA ligands, and also expression level of KIRs on NK cells both impact significantly on NK cell function, that the less match of KIR/HLA-Cw, and the less expression of KIRs on NK cells result in the stronger NK cell cytotoxicity.

RESUMO

The aim of this study was to analyze the risk factors for overall survival at 5 years in 96 patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation by retrospective analysis. 11 clinical parameters including age, sex, disease status, HLA locus, donor type, donor-recipient blood type, conditioning regimen, aGVHD, HC, VOD and IP were selected for univariate analysis by using a Cox regression. Factors have statistic significance at the 0.1 level on univariate analysis were evaluated by multivariate analysis by a Coxs regression. The cumulative incidence of aGVHD and survival rate of patients were calculated by the method of Kaplan and Meier. The results showed that 95 patients achieved sustained donor engraftment except 1 patients. The median time of leukocyte engraftment (ANC > or = 0.5 x 10(9)/L) was 13 days. The aGVHD of I - IV grade was observed in 42 out of 96 patients (43.75%), in which 11 patients were with aGVHD of I grade (11.46%), 19 patients were with aGVHD of II grade (19.79%), 12 patients were with aGVHD of III - IV grade (12.50%). Out of 96 patients 10 relapsed and 38 dead, the overall survival at 5 years was 60.42%. The Cox regression analysis showed that aGVHD and disease status before transplant were main factors affecting long-term survival of patients, relative risks of which were 2.996 and 2.619 respectively. It is concluded that the main factors affecting long-term survival of patients are aGVHD and disease status. The key to improve the outcome of allo-HSCT is to reduce the incidence and severity of aGVHD, meanwhile to select the CR1 for allo-HSCT to treat the patients in advanced refractory and relapsed situation should be considered as important risk factors.

RESUMO

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is infrequent in Chinese people. Conventional cytogenetic analysis underestimates the frequency of chromosome aberrations in CLL due to the low rate of spontaneous mitoses. The aim of this study was to prospectively explore the frequency of chromosomal abnormalities in Chinese patients with CLL using interphase fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) and probes for 12 centromere, 13q14, 14q32, 17p13, 11q22 and 6q23 on 143 patients with CLL. Molecular cytogenetic aberrations were found in 104 patients (72.7%) and 40 patients (28.0%) with more than two abnormalities. The most frequent abnormality was del(13q14) (47.6%), followed by trisomy 12 (21.7%), 14q32 translocation (19.6%), del(17p13) (12.6%), del(11q22) (11.9%) and del(6q23) (4.9%), respectively. The percentages of patients with aberrations by FISH were 75.4%, 72.3% and 67.7% for Binet stages A, B and C, respectively. In early stage (Binet A), del(13q14) aberration was more frequent than in Binet B and C (61.5% vs. 31.9% and 41.9%) (P=0.021). Patients with advanced stage (Binet C) had more frequent del(17p13) aberration than in Binet A and B (32.3% vs. 9.2% and 4.3%) (P=0.008). It was showed that the frequencies of the chromosomal abnormalities in our study population were similar to the frequencies in Western countries.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the quantity and function of circulating dendritic cells (DC) in patients with chronic idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP). METHODS: High dose dexamethasone (HD-DXM) at a dose of 40 mg orally per day for four consecutive days was the initial treatment for chronic ITP patients. Flow cytometry was used to analyze the number of myeloid DC (mDC), plasma cytoid DC (pDC) and CD4+FOXP3+ T cells in patients before and after the treatment, meanwhile the co-stimulatory molecules on circulating DCs were assayed as well. Monocyte-derived DCs and CD4+ T cells were co-cultured with autologous or allogeneic normal fresh platelets and after 6 days of incubation H-TdR was used to assay the proliferation of CD4+ T cells. RESULTS: The absolute numbers of circulating mDC and pDC were not significantly different between pre-treatment patients and healthy controls (P > 0.05 and P >0.05). However, percentage of CD4+ FOXP3+ T cells was decreased (P < 0.01), and their percentage was inversely correlated with the number of pDC and mDC (r = -0.396, P =0.045 and r = -0.410, P =0.037). The initial response rate to HD-DXM was 92.3%. After 4-days treatment, CD4 FOXP3+ Treg cells increased (P <0.01) while pDCs decreased (P <0.01). Although mDCs increased after HD-DXM (P <0.05), their CD11c expression level was decreased (P < 0.01), the mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) decreased from 340 +/- 30 before treatment to 199 +/- 21 after treatment. The inverse correlation between pDCs and CD4+ FOXP3+ Treg cells remained (r= -0.524, P =0.006) while that between mDCs and Treg cells disappeared (r = - 0.360, P =0.071). The MFI of CD86 on DCs was higher in ITP patients than in healthy controls (P <0.05), while the proportions of CD86, CD40, CD80 and the MFI of CD40, CD80 in ITP patients were normal (P > 0.05). DCs from chronic ITP patients co-cultured with autologous or allogeneic platelets were highly efficient in stimulating autologous CD4+ T cells proliferaton as compared to those derived from healthy donors (P < 0.05 and P <0.05). CONCLUSION: DCs may play a role in the pathogenesis of chronic ITP in relation with CD4+CD25+ Treg cells.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clinical significance of Wilms tumor gene (WT1) expression levels in the bone marrow (BM) of chronic myelogenous leukemia patients. METHODS: Real-time quantitative retroversion polymerase chain reaction (RQ-RT-PCR) method was established for detecting WT1 and GAPDH expression levels in the BM of 109 CML and 23 non-leukemic patients with Light Cycler. Normalized WT1 expression level (WT1(N)) was determined as a ratio between WT1 and GAPDH expression times 10(4). RESULTS: The median expression levels of WT1(N) in 23 CML patients of accelerate phase (CML-AP) and 22 CML patients of blast crisis (CML-BC) were statistically higher than those of 64 CML patients of chronic phase (CML-CP) and 23 non-leukemic controls (103.71 and 129.44 vs 3.44 and 1.47). No statistic differences were found between the CML-CP group and control group, nor between the CML-AP group and CML-BC group. Furthermore, the WT1(N) levels were correlated to the BCR/ABL fusion gene expression levels. Dynamic change of WT1(N) levels in 7 CML patients before or after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation showed that WT1 expression levels could predict relapse of leukemia. CONCLUSION: WT1 expression levels in CML patients in accelerate phase or blast crisis were strikingly higher than those in non-leukemic patients or CML patients in chronic phase, in whom WT1 expression was undetectable or showed low expression. WT1 gene could be an useful marker for detecting MRD and evaluating therapeutic efficacy in CML.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To study the incidence and prognostic significance of derivative chromosome 9 [der (9)] deletions in chronic myeloid leukemia (CMA). METHODS: Dual-color dual-fusion BCR-ABL probe and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) were use to detect chromosome preparations from 48 randomly selected CML patients in blast crisis (CML-BC). If only one fusion signal was detected in interphase cells with FISH, metaphase cells were simultaneously observed to determine if there were deletions on der (9). Chromosome preparations made at diagnosis from those with der (9) deletions in CML-BC were also assayed to determine if der (9) deletions occurred at the time of Philadelphia translocation. Patients in chronic phase were treated with hydroxyurea. RESULTS: Of the 48 CML-BC cases, 8 (16.7%) showed der (9) deletions and the deletions also existed in chromosome preparations made at diagnosis. The group with der (9) deletions had significantly shorter duration of chronic phase and overall survival than the group without (P < 0.05). There was no difference in the probability of the der (9) deletions between the cases transformed to acute lymphoid leukemia and those to acute myeloid leukemia (P > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: FISH technique can effectively detect der (9) deletions. Der (9) deletions occur at the time of Philadelphia translocation. CML patients with der (9) deletions have more rapid process and poor prognosis. Hydroxyurea could not reverse the poor prognosis of der (9) deletions in CML. Der (9) deletions might not lead to transformation to specific type in CML.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the role of CD4+ CD25+ regulatory T (Treg) cells in patients with ITP. METHODS: Flow cytometry was used to examine the number of CD4+ CD25+, CD4+ CD25 high, CD4+ Foxp3+ and CD4+ CD25+ Foxp3+ T cells. The level of Foxp3 mRNA expression was analyzed by realtime quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) . CD4+ CD25 high T cells was cocultured with CD4+ CD25 - T cells from patients or controls for assessing the regulatory properties of CD4+ CD25 Treg cells. RESULTS: The proportion of CD4+ CD25+ T cells in the peripheral blood of patients with ITP [(15.64 +/- 5.82) %] was significantly higher than that in normal control group [(9.30 +/- 3.95)%] (P <0.01). There was no significant difference in the percentages of CD4+ CD25 high T cells between ITP patients and controls [(1.53 +/- 0.66)% versus (1.36 +/- 0.55)% (P = 0.317)]. But the number of CD4 Foxp 3+ T cells and CD4 + CD25+ Foxp3+ T cells in patients were significantly lower than that in control group (P <0.01). The expression of Foxp3 mRNA reduced (P < 0.01) and the suppressive activity of CD4+ CD25 high T cells is lower than that of healthy controls (P <0.01). CONCLUSION: In patients with ITP, both the number and immuno-regulative function of CD4+ CD25+ Treg cells are reduced.

RESUMO

AIM: To evaluate the proportion of CD4(+) CD25(+) Tregs in the peripheral blood of the patients suffering from acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) with or without chemotherapy and investigate whether the serum from patients could convert peripheral CD4(+) CD25(-) T cells to CD4(+) CD25(+) Tregs. METHODS: The proportion of CD4(+) CD25(+) T cells in the peripheral blood of three groups of people (the patients with ALL before therapy, the patients with ALL who achieved partial remission (PR) or complete remission (CR) and the healthy donors) was evaluated by flow cytometry. The level of Foxp3 mRNA expression of each group was examined by FQ-RT-PCR. Furthermore mononuclear cells isolated from the peripheral blood of the healthy donors were added to laboratory serum of ALL and control serum of healthy donors respectively. Each group was divided into sub-groups according to various serum doses. After culture for 72 h, the cells of all the groups were harvested separately and further tested for the expression of CD4(+) CD25(+) T cells by flow cytometry. The FQ-RT-PCR method was used to examine the expression of Foxp3 mRNA expression. RESULTS: The percentage of CD4(+) CD25(+) T cells and Foxp3 in the patients with ALL after chemotherapy was significantly higher than that of the healthy donors and the patients with ALL without chemotherapy. Although the proportion of CD4(+) CD25(+) T cells in the patients with ALL without chemotherapy was almost the same with that in the healthy donors, the level of Foxp3 mRNA expression in the former was higher. Moreover, the proportion of CD4(+) CD25(+) T cells and the level of Foxp3 mRNA expression in experimental group were statistically higher than those in control group. The expression of Foxp3 mRNA in control group did not vary with the serum dosage. CONCLUSION: The proportion of CD4(+) CD25(+) Foxp3+Tregs in the peripheral blood of the patients with ALL with or without chemotherapy is significantly higher than that of healthy donors. The serum derived from the patients with ALL can convert CD4(+) CD25(-) T cells to CD4(+) CD25(+) Tregs, which might be one of the important reasons for immunosuppression in ALL.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of targeting immunotherapy for leukemia cells by using cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) specifically against WT (Wilm's tumor) 1-derived peptide. METHODS: A 9-mer WT1 peptide (CMTWNQMNL) containing HLA-A*0201-binding anchor motifs was synthesized. Dendritic cells (DCs) generated from the peripheral blood mononuclear cells of an HLA-A*0201-positive healthy donor were cultured and divided into 2 groups: experimental group to be loaded with Wilms' tumor 1 (WT1) peptide so as to elicit CTL's specifically for WT1 peptide, restricted by HLA-A*0201, and control group. Six days later rhTNF-alpha was added for 3 days more to promote the maturation of DCs. Before loading of WT1 peptide and 2 days after the addition of rhTNF-alpha direct immunofluorescence labeling method was used with PE or FITC labeled mono-antibodies to detect the expression of the surface antigens: CD83, CD1alpha, CD80, CD86, CD14, and HLA-DR. DCs suspended and attached to wall were collected and then divided into 2 groups: pure T cell group (group D) to be cultured in culture medium without IL-2, and IL-2 + T cell group (Group C) to be cultured in 1640 culture medium with IL-2. Eight days later the T cells of Group C were co-cultured with the DCs of the experimental group (WTI peptide + DC + IL-2 + T cells, Group A) or the DCs of the control group (DC + IL-2 + T cells, Group B). Five days later the killing activity was detected. The CTLs of Groups A, B, and C at logarithmic growth phase were mixed with leukemic cells of the lines: NB4/WT1D, NB4WT1A, NB4 (all HLA-A*0201 +, WT1 +), U937 (HLA-A*0201 +, WTl -), and K562 (HLA-A*0201 -, WTI +), and mononuclear cells of the bone marrow of leukemic patients at different effector cell-target cell of 20:1 and 10:1. MTT method was used to examine the killing rate of CTL to the target cells. RESULTS: (1) The killing rates of Group A cells to NB4/WT1 D, NB4WTA, and NB4, leukemic cells were 60.4% +/- 3.1%, 56.4% +/- 5.7%, and 55.0% +/- 3.7%, all significantly higher than those of the Group B cells (10.9% +/- 1.6%, 11.1% +/- 2.7%, and 11.9% +/- 2.5%), and those of Group C cells (9.1% +/- 1.0%, 9.2% +/- 1.7%, and 9.4% +/- 1.8%) (all P < 0.01). There were no significant differences in the killing rates to U937 and K562 leukemic cells among the 3 groups. (2) When the effect-target ratio was 20: 2, the killing activity of the CTLs of Group A to the HLA-A*0201 +, WT1 + NB4/WT1 D, NB4/WT1A and NB4 leukemic cells was significantly higher than those to the HLA-A*0201 +, WT1 - U937 cells and the HLA-A*0201 -, WT1 + K562 cells (both P < 0.001), however, not significantly different from that to the U937 and K562 cells. (3) There were no significant differences in the killing activity of Group A cells to NB4/WT1D, NB4/WT1A, and NB4 cells (P = 0. 065, P = 0.621). (4) When the effect-target ratio was 10:2, the killing rates of Group A cells to the NB4/ WT1D, NB4/WT1A, and NB4 cells were 45.9% +/- 3.9%, 43.9% +/- 3.7%, and 44.1% +/- 3.2% respectively, all significantly lower than those when the effect-target ratio was 20:1 (all P < 0.01). CONCLUSION: CTLs specific for WT1 and restricted by HLA-A*0201 exert specific lysis upon leukemia cell lines and primary leukemia cells, but not upon normal hematopoietic cells, which provides a rationale for developing a strategy of WT1 peptide-based adoptive T-cell therapy and vaccination for human leukemia and solid tumors.
