We characterized two cell fractions in CD34+cells with or without CD38 expression. A clonogenic assay showed that most CFC were present in CD34+CD38+ population. Morphologic analysis showed that blast-like cells were more enriched in the CD34+CD38 fraction. To clarify the biologic differences between both fractions, we examined the more primitive progenitor cell function by assessing long-term culture-initiating cells (LTC-IC) on the stromal cells. At the first two weeks, more CF.C harvested from the culture in the fractions initiated with both populations. However, more LTC-IC were present during weeks 4 to 12 in the CD34+CD38- population. These results indicate the primitive progenitors are more enriched in CD34+CD38 population than in CD34+CD38+ cells.展开更多

The CD34/CD38 cell profile was analyzed by multiparameter flowcytometry approach using 8 C panels and FACS CANTO and Diva software(BD Bioscience).RESULTS We analyzed CD34 and CD38 expression in bone marrow samples of 200 AML patients at diagnosis, and investigated the prognostic value of the most immature CD34+CD38-population. Using a cut-off value of 1% of CD34+CD38-from total "bulk leukemic cells" we found that a high(> 1%) level of CD34+CD38-blasts at diagnosis was correlated with advanced age, adverse cytogenetics as well as with a lower rate of complete response after induction and shorter disease-free survival. In a multivariate analysis considering age, leukocytosis, the % of CD34+ blasts cells and the standardized cytogenetic and molecular risk subgroups, a percentage of CD34+CD38-leukemic cells > 1% was an independent predictor of DFS [HR = 2.8(1.02-7.73), P = 0.04] and OS [HR = 2.65(1.09-6.43), P = 0.03].CONCLUSION Taken together, these results show that a CD34/CD38 "backbone" for leukemic cell analysis by multicolour flowcytometry at diagnosis provides useful prognostic information.展开更多

The results revealed that: (D In methylcellulose culture, the plating efficiencies of purified cord blood CD34+ cells were much different when stimulated by various cytokines. IL-6 alone had the lowest colo-ny yield, while the combination of SCF, IL-6 and EPO had the highest yield. ② In the suspension culture, IL-6 alone or IL-6 + EPO had little expanding effect on cord blood CD34+ celis, the other cytokine combinations could expand cord blood CD34+ celis at different Ievels. Among them, the combination of SCF, IL-6 and EPO had the maximal expanding effect on cord blood CD34+ celis, the number of progenitor celis peaked at day 21, about 29-fold increase and nucleated celis increased approximately 3676-fold at day 28.
