Semiquantitative analysis of mRNA levels of the protooncogenes was carried out by Quick-blot. The results showed that (1) c-myc oncogene was slightly expressed and Nras was marginally expressed, whereas the expression of the c-fos was undetectable in the peripheral leucocytes of 8 normal individuals; (2) the c-myc was obviously expressed in almost all leukemic cells irrespective of the cell types, while N-ras and c-fos were variable expressed; (3) the c-fos was expressed in all 4 cases of M4; (4) the c-myc transcript was detected but the N-ras and c-fos were not in 4 chronic leukemic cases; (5) the relationship between protooncogene expression and state of leukemia or after chemotherapy was also analysed.展开更多

Methods: The model of mice bearing leukemia was established and three types of leukemia vaccine were prepared before they were administered on the mice respectively. The cy- totxicity of M? derived from the mice was measured after the active immunotherapy or prevention for 2–4 weeks later by using MTT colorimetric method and compared with the control group. Results: (1) With the growth of leukemia cells in the mice, the cytotoxicity of M? was seriously depressed; (2) The administration of leukemia vaccine prepared from inactivated leukemic cells, incomplete Freund’s adjuvant (IFA) and cytokines, such as rGM-CSF, rIL-2 and rIL-6, promoted the cellular immunity of mice bearing leukemia, more e?cient than leukemia vaccine from either inactivated leukemic cells and IFA or inactive leukemic cells per se. Conclusion: The leukemia vaccine prepared with inactive leukemic cells, IFA and cytokines could activate the non-speci?c cellular immunity such as M?, as well as, antigen present, immune surveillance and so on, and this activation constructed a base for further activate T lymphocyte. Naturally, this will certainly have a promising future in the therapy against hematopietic tumor.展开更多

SPECT imaging was performed from day 1 to day 8 following i. p. injection. The results showed that radioimmunoimaging of buman tumor xenografts was clearest day 3 after injection in both of ATG and ATG-Dex-DNR groups, whereas it's not the case in Ts-MoAb group. Nude mice were killed 8th day after injection with antibody or conjugate. The tumor, as well as different dissected normal organs including heart, liver, lungs, kidney, femur and intestine, were harvested, weighed precisely, and radioiodine-counted. T/NT ratios in experimental group was greater than 1. 0 (ranged from 1. 246-7. 865). and in control group they were less than 1. 0 (ranged from 0. 263-0. 757, except for tumor/femur ratio). Our results indicated that ATG and ATG-Dex-DNR had specific affinity to cell line of Tcell leukemia CEM.展开更多

To study the molecular basis of the difference in the transforming activity of TEL/ARG and TEL/ABL, TEL/ARG mutants that swapped the kinase domain or C-terminus of ARG with the corresponding domain in ABL were generated, and each mutant was expressed in Ba/F3 cells. A TEL/ARG mutant containing the ABL kinase domain was similar to TEL/ARG in this study, but replacing the ARG C-terminal domain with that of ABL resulted in accelerated proliferation that was similar to that of TEL/ABL. When expressed in primary mouse bone marrow cells by retroviral transduction, spontaneous colony formation in methylcellulose culture was observed, in a fashion dependent on the C-terminal portion of ABL. These results indicate that distinct bio-phenotypes associated with these oncogenes are likely to be regulated by their C-termini, and the C-terminus of ARG contains a functional subdomain that impairs the growth signal induced by ABL family tyrosine kinase.展开更多

It is beneficial to generate xenotransplantation model of FLT3-ITD^mut/NPM1- CN-AML to better understand the pathogenesis and therapeutic strategies of such AML subtype. The purpose of present study was to establish the xenotransplantation model in NOD/SCID mice with FLT3-ITD^mut/NPM1- CN-AML primary cells. The FLT3-ITD^mut/NPM1- CN-AML primary cells from 3 of 7 cases were successfully transplanted into NOD/SCID mice, and human CD45 positive cells were detected in the peripheral blood, spleen and bone marrow of mice by using flow cytometry. Infiltration of human leukemia cells in various organs of mice was observed by using immunohistochemistry. Gene analysis confirmed sustained FLT3/ITD mutation without NPM1 mutation in mice. By performing serial transplantation, it was found that characteristics of the leukemia cells in secondary and tertiary genera- tion models remained unchanged. Moreover, in vivo cytarabine administration could extend survival of NOD/SCID mice, which was consistent with clinical observation. In conclusion, we successfully estab- lished xenotransplantation model of human FLT3-ITD^mut/NPM1- CN-AML in NOD/SCID mice. The model was able to present primary disease and suitable to evaluate the curative effects of new drugs or therapy strategies.展开更多

In this study, we evaluated the in vivo effect of D-Limonene on a K562-induced model of chronic myeloid leukemia(CML) in C57 BL/6 mice.Method: The tail vein injection model of K562 cells in immunocompromised C57 BL/6 mice was developed and evaluated for characteristics of the disease. The mice were treated with D-Limonene and evaluated for haematological parameters. We also evaluated the effect of D-Limonene on angiogenesis using the chick chorioallantoic membrane(CAM) assay.Results: In a complete blood count, a significant dose-dependent reduction in white blood cell, neutrophil and lymphocyte counts, but an elevation in red blood cell count and haemoglobin content was observed with D-Limonene treatment compared to the disease control or untreated group. In the CAM assay, D-Limonene produced a significant dose-dependent reduction in number of blood vessels in treatment groups compared to the vehicle-treated group.Conclusion: These studies suggest promising anti-leukemic and anti-angiogenic effects of D-Limonene in the treatment of CML.展开更多

Cells were divided into control group, AS group （MDM2 specific antisense oligonucleotides group）, cisplatin group, and combined treatment group. FCM analysis and Western blot and RT-PCR were used to estimate apoptosis and the expression of MDM2 and P53. Our results showed that the transfection of MDM2 specific antisense oligonucleotides obviously inhibited MDM2 expression （P〈0.01） and increased the expression of P53 （P〈0.05）. Apoptosis rate were reduced by MDM2 specific antisense oligonucletides and cisplatin （P〈0.01）. It is concluded that MDM2 specific antisense oligonucletides can inhibit the expression of MDM2, induce the expression of P53 and increase the apoptosis of leukemia cells after chemotherapy.展开更多

CNS involvement significantly reduces survival and there are no effective treatments for CNS involvement. Therefore, an appropriate animal model is required to evaluate the inhibitory effects of novel drugs on the progression of ATL with CNS involvement. Here, we established a mouse model of ATL with CNS involvement using NOD.Cg-Prkdc~ (scid) Il2 rg ^(tm1Wjl)/SzJ mice inoculated with ATL cells intramuscularly in the postauricular region, and these mice showed paraparesis. Of the 10 mice inoculated with ATL cells intramuscularly(I.M.) at 5 weeks of age, 8(80%) showed paraparesis, whereas none of the 10 mice inoculated with ATL cells subcutaneously(S.C.) showed paraparesis. In the I.M. group, PCR detected HTLV-1-specific genes in the thoracic and lumbar vertebrae; however, in the S.C. group, the vertebrae were negative for HTLV-1 genes. Histological analysis revealed a particularly high incidence of tumors, characterized by accumulation of the injected cells, in the thoracic vertebrae of mice in the I.M. group. Tumor cell infiltration was relatively high in the bone marrow. Spinal cord compression caused by invasion of the tumor mass outside the pia mater was observed in the thoracic vertebrae of the spinal cord. In conclusion, we have reported a mouse model of tumor growth with paraparesis that may be used to assess novel therapeutic agents for ATL with CNS involvement.展开更多

The results showed that 17 cases were negative for p21 expression and 13 positive for p21. The patients with positive p21 had higher percentage of bone marrow and peripheral blasts and lower peripheral leukocyte count. The expression of p21 had no influence on the therapeutic effect. Before treatment,DNA diploidy occurred in 18 cases including 13 p21 negative ones,and DNA aneuploidy was revealed in 12 cases including 8 p21 positive ones. Patients with positive p21 or having aneuploidy in complete remission were at risk for early relapse. Our results suggest that p21 may be involved in the process of leukemogenesis and progression in AML.展开更多

文摘Summary： The changes of expression and function of MDM2 and P53 by MDM2 specific antisense oligonucleotides were investigated in HL60 cells. Cells were divided into control group, AS group （MDM2 specific antisense oligonucleotides group）, cisplatin group, and combined treatment group. FCM analysis and Western blot and RT-PCR were used to estimate apoptosis and the expression of MDM2 and P53. Our results showed that the transfection of MDM2 specific antisense oligonucleotides obviously inhibited MDM2 expression （P〈0.01） and increased the expression of P53 （P〈0.05）. Apoptosis rate were reduced by MDM2 specific antisense oligonucletides and cisplatin （P〈0.01）. It is concluded that MDM2 specific antisense oligonucletides can inhibit the expression of MDM2, induce the expression of P53 and increase the apoptosis of leukemia cells after chemotherapy.

文摘Adult T-cell leukemia( ATL) is a mature T-cell malignancy caused by human T-cell leukemia virus type I infection, and 10%-25% of patients show central nervous system( CNS) involvement. CNS involvement significantly reduces survival and there are no effective treatments for CNS involvement. Therefore, an appropriate animal model is required to evaluate the inhibitory effects of novel drugs on the progression of ATL with CNS involvement. Here, we established a mouse model of ATL with CNS involvement using NOD.Cg-Prkdc~ (scid) Il2 rg ^(tm1Wjl)/SzJ mice inoculated with ATL cells intramuscularly in the postauricular region, and these mice showed paraparesis. Of the 10 mice inoculated with ATL cells intramuscularly(I.M.) at 5 weeks of age, 8(80%) showed paraparesis, whereas none of the 10 mice inoculated with ATL cells subcutaneously(S.C.) showed paraparesis. In the I.M. group, PCR detected HTLV-1-specific genes in the thoracic and lumbar vertebrae; however, in the S.C. group, the vertebrae were negative for HTLV-1 genes. Histological analysis revealed a particularly high incidence of tumors, characterized by accumulation of the injected cells, in the thoracic vertebrae of mice in the I.M. group. Tumor cell infiltration was relatively high in the bone marrow. Spinal cord compression caused by invasion of the tumor mass outside the pia mater was observed in the thoracic vertebrae of the spinal cord. In conclusion, we have reported a mouse model of tumor growth with paraparesis that may be used to assess novel therapeutic agents for ATL with CNS involvement.
文摘The flow cytometric immunoassay was used to study the correlation between the H-ras oncogene product p21 and the DNA ploidy in 30 de novo cases of acute myelogenous leukemia (AML). The results showed that 17 cases were negative for p21 expression and 13 positive for p21. The patients with positive p21 had higher percentage of bone marrow and peripheral blasts and lower peripheral leukocyte count. The expression of p21 had no influence on the therapeutic effect. Before treatment,DNA diploidy occurred in 18 cases including 13 p21 negative ones,and DNA aneuploidy was revealed in 12 cases including 8 p21 positive ones. Patients with positive p21 or having aneuploidy in complete remission were at risk for early relapse. Our results suggest that p21 may be involved in the process of leukemogenesis and progression in AML.
