Establishment and Characterization of PCL12, a Novel CD5+ Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia Cell Line.

ABSTRACT: Immortalized cell lines representative of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) can assist in understanding disease pathogenesis and testing new therapeutic agents. At present, very few representative cell lines are available. We here describe the characterization of a new cell line (PCL12) that grew spontaneously from the peripheral blood (PB) of a CLL patient with progressive disease and EBV infection. The CLL cell origin of PCL12 was confirmed after the alignment of its IGH sequence against the "original" clonotypic sequence. The IGH gene rearrangement was truly unmutated and no CLL-related cytogenetic or genetic lesions were detected. PCL12 cells express CD19, CD20, CD5, CD23, low levels of IgM and IgD and the poor-outcome-associated prognostic markers CD38, ZAP70 and TCL1. In accordance with its aggressive phenotype the cell line is inactive in terms of LYN and HS1 phosphorylation. BcR signalling pathway is constitutively active and anergic in terms of p-ERK and Calcium flux response to ?-IgM stimulation. PCL12 cells strongly migrate in vitro in response to SDF-1 and form clusters. Finally, they grow rapidly and localize in all lymphoid organs when xenotrasplanted in Rag2-/-?c-/- mice. PCL12 represents a suitable preclinical model for testing pharmacological agents.

Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia.

Project description:Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) is a malignancy of CD5+ B cells that is characterized by the accumulation of small, mature-appearing lymphocytes in the blood, marrow and lymphoid tissues. Signalling via surface immunoglobulin, which constitutes the major part of the B cell receptor, and several genetic alterations play a part in CLL pathogenesis, in addition to interactions between CLL cells and other cell types, such as stromal cells, T cells and nurse-like cells in the lymph nodes. The clinical progression of CLL is heterogeneous and ranges from patients who require treatment soon after diagnosis to others who do not require therapy for many years, if at all. Several factors, including the immunoglobulin heavy-chain variable region gene (IGHV) mutational status, genomic changes, patient age and the presence of comorbidities, should be considered when defining the optimal management strategies, which include chemotherapy, chemoimmunotherapy and/or drugs targeting B cell receptor signalling or inhibitors of apoptosis, such as BCL-2. Research on the biology of CLL has profoundly enhanced our ability to identify patients who are at higher risk for disease progression and our capacity to treat patients with drugs that selectively target distinctive phenotypic or physiological features of CLL. How these and other advances have shaped our current understanding and treatment of patients with CLL is the subject of this Primer.

Jumping translocations, a novel finding in chronic lymphocytic leukaemia.

Project description:A jumping translocation (JT) is a rare cytogenetic aberration that can occur in haematological malignancy. It involves the translocation of the same fragment of donor chromosome onto two or more recipient chromosomes, typically in different cells. In this study, we describe the first series of chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) patients with JTs reported to date. Following a review of 878 CLL patient karyotypes, we identified 26 patients (3%) with 97 JTs. The most commonly occurring breakpoint in these translocations was 17p11.2. Loss of TP53 was identified prior to or at the same time as JT in 23 of 26 patients (88%). All patients eventually developed a complex karyotype. All but one patient has required treatment for CLL, with estimated median time to treatment of 11·5 months. This study establishes JTs as a recurrent abnormality found in CLL patients with aggressive disease. JTs contribute to complex karyotypes and, in many cases, are involved in chromosomal rearrangements that result in loss of the tumour suppressor gene TP53.

Novel targeted treatment strategies for refractory chronic lymphocytic leukaemia.

Project description:Patients with refractory chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) still have an unfavourable prognosis and novel treatment strategies are necessary, preferably adjusted to the patient's individual situation. Refractoriness is no longer limited just to fludarabine (F) but extends to F-combinations with other chemotherapeutic agents (e.g. cyclophosphamide [C] and FC) and antibodies (e.g. rituximab [R], FR, and FCR). Also, refractoriness to alemtuzumab is an increasing problem. New pharmacological developments provide promising approaches. This review focuses on novel therapies such as monoclonal antibodies and small molecules aiming at specific targets of the CLL cell in the refractory situation. Approved therapeutic regimens will be presented as well as investigational approaches. An overview of completed and current clinical trials is offered.

Establishment and Characterization of a Novel Dedifferentiated Chondrosarcoma Cell Line DDCS2.

Project description:BackgroundThe dedifferentiated variant of chondrosarcoma is highly aggressive and carries an especially grim prognosis. While chemotherapeutics has failed to benefit patients with dedifferentiated chondrosarcoma significantly, preclinical chemosensitivity studies have been limited by a scarcity of available cell lines. There is, therefore, an urgent need to expand the pool of available cell lines.MethodsWe report the establishment of a novel dedifferentiated chondrosarcoma cell line DDCS2, which we isolated from the primary tumor specimen of a 60-year-old male patient. We characterized its short tandem repeat (STR) DNA profile, growth potential, antigenic markers, chemosensitivity, and oncogenic spheroid and colony-forming capacity.ResultsDDCS2 showed a spindle to polygonal shape and an approximate 60-hour doubling time. STR DNA profiling revealed a unique genomic identity not matching any existing cancer cell lines within the ATCC, JCRB, or DSMZ databases. There was no detectable contamination with another cell type. Western blot and immunofluorescence assays were consistent with a mesenchymal origin, and our MTT assay revealed relative resistance to conventional chemotherapeutics, which is typical of a dedifferentiated chondrosarcoma. Under ex vivo three-dimensional (3D) culture conditions, the DDCS2 cells produced spheroid patterns similar to the well-established CS-1 and SW1353 chondrosarcoma cell lines.ConclusionOur findings confirm DDCS2 is a novel model for dedifferentiated chondrosarcoma and therefore adds to the limited pool of current cell lines urgently needed to investigate the chemoresistance within this deadly cancer.

Microsatellite instability in patients with chronic B-cell lymphocytic leukaemia.

Project description:The purpose of our study was to evaluate the microsatellite instability (MSI) at selected loci with known involvement in the oncogenesis of chronic B-cell lymphocytic leukaemia (B-CLL). DNA from B cells (tumour cells) and from T cells (normal controls) of 27 samples of 26 patients with previously untreated B-CLL was extracted. Microsatellite instability in six microsatellite markers was tested using GeneScan Analysis Software. The rate of replication errors positive phenotype (RER+) was determined (MSI in more than 30% of examined loci). RER+ was found in four out of 27 patients (14.8%). A larger proportion of patients with stage C B-CLL exhibited RER+ than those with stage A or B (P < 0.05). A higher prevalence of RER+ was demonstrated in a subgroup of patients with additional malignancies (three out of eight patients) in comparison with patients with B-CLL alone (1/19) (P = 0.031). In conclusion, our study demonstrated that MSI might have a more prominent role in pathogenesis of B-CLL than reported to date. This may result from a selection of microsatellite markers adjacent to chromosomal loci, which are involved in B-cell malignancies, and using GeneScan Analysis Software, which is most modern and precise method of microsatellite analysis.

Immunotherapy in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia (CLL).

Project description:Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) is well known to generate impaired immune responses in the host, with the malignant clone residing in well-vascularized tissues and circulating in peripheral blood but also in close proximity to effector cells that are capable, if activated appropriately, of eliciting a cytotoxic response. These, combined with the fact that this is frequently a condition affecting older patients with co-morbidities often unfit for many "traditional" cytotoxic agents with their significant associated toxicities, make CLL an ideal candidate for the development of immunotherapy. The impressive results seen with the addition of a monoclonal antibody, rituximab, to a chemotherapy backbone, for example, is testament to how effective harnessing an immune-mediated response in CLL can be. This review serves to outline the available arsenal of immunotherapies-past and present-demonstrated to have potential in CLL with some perspectives on how the landscape in this disease may evolve in the future.

Cytokinesis arrest and multiple centrosomes in B cell chronic lymphocytic leukaemia.

Project description:Cytokinesis failure leads to the emergence of tetraploid cells and multiple centrosomes. Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) is the most common haematological malignancy in adults and is characterized by clonal B cell expansion. Here, we show that a significant number of peripheral blood CLL cells are arrested in cytokinesis and that this event occurred after nuclear envelope reformation and before cytoplasmic abscission. mRNA expression data showed that several genes known to be crucial for cell cycle regulation, checkpoint and centromere function, such as ING4, ING5, CDKN1A and CDK4, were significantly dysregulated in CLL samples. Our results demonstrate that CLL cells exhibit difficulties in completing mitosis, which is different from but may, at least in part, explain the previously reported accumulation of CLL cells in G0/1.
