急性髓性白血病HB-1细胞系细胞具有侵入CBA/N小鼠脑部的能力(英文)

HB-1,an acute myeloid leukemic cell line with the capability of infiltrating into the brain in CBA/N mice

急性髓性白血病HB-1细胞系是由辐射处理的CBA/N小鼠脾脏细胞克隆并建立起来的。静脉注射HB-1细胞到正常CBA/N小鼠体内会诱发急性髓性白血病综合症,并使小鼠2周左右死亡。一般情况下,白血病细胞被接种到小鼠后会侵入造血器官、肺、肾和肝脏。我们在研究中发现了一令人感兴趣的现象,不仅在小鼠的肺、肾和肝脏中,而且在大脑和小脑中也观察到了HB-1细胞。白血病细胞能穿过血脑屏障在正常情况下是难以理解的,因为血脑屏障可阻止血细胞进入脑内,并且严格有选择地让小分子通过。因此,HB-1细胞将是阐明形成血脑屏障的内皮细胞上的附贴分子和选择性地让特殊细胞侵入脑的一个很好的模型。

An acute myeloid leukemic HB-1 cell line was cloned and established from the spleen cells of irradiated CBA/N mice. Acute myeloma leukemia-like syndrome would be induced in normal CBA/N mice after intravenous injection of HB-1 cells, and the death of mouse happened within about two weeks. In general, leukemic cells transplanted into the mice would infiltrate into the hematopoietic organs, lungs, kidneys and liver, An interesting observation in our study was that HB-1 cells were present not only in the lung, kidney, and liver but also in the cerebrum and cerebellum. It was beyond our expectation that the leukemic cells could go through the blood-brain barrier in most circumstances. On the basis of the observation, we expect that HB-1 cells could be used as a very useful model to elucidate the mechanism of infiltrating the blood-brain barrier for certain type of cells.
