The aim of this study was to determine whether expression of the CD86 costimulatory molecule in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) can identify blast cells committed to the monocytic/dendritic lineage.
One hundred ten consecutive AML patients observed at diagnosis were studied by flow cytometry. In selected experiments, in vitro cultures with CD34(+)CD86(+) or CD34(-)CD86(+) blasts were performed in the presence of granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating actor (GM-CSF) with or without tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) or GM-CSF + interleukin-4 (IL-4), respectively, to induce a dendritic differentiation, documented by morphologic and immunophenotypic assays. T-cell alloreactivity to CD86(+) AML cells and leukemic dendritic cells (AML-DC) was tested in mixed leukocyte cultures and anti-leukemic cytotoxic assays.
CD86 was expressed in 54% AML, whereas CD80 and CD1a were only occasionally positive. CD86(+) AML samples included M5 and M4, but also 47% M0-M1 FAB types, and were more frequently CD14(+) (p < 0.00001) and CD34(-) (p = 0.00005) than CD86(-)AML. Six different patterns of CD86(+) AML were identified, according to CD34 or CD14 total or partial coexpression. Four samples enriched in CD34(+)CD86(+) AML cells differentiated into AML-DC CD86(+), CD80(+), CD40(+), CD11c(+), HLA-DR(++), CD14(+/-) that also were CD1a(+) or CD83(+), after 6 days of in vitro culture with GM-CSF +/- TNF-alpha. CD34(-)CD86(+) AML cells differentiated into AML-DC after 3 to 5 days (n = 5 experiments), and trisomy 8 was found in two AML and AML-DC samples by fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis. Finally, AML-DC induced more potent allo-T-cell proliferation, cytokine release, and anti-leukemic cytotoxicity than CD86(+) blasts.
In AML, CD86 is a marker of monocytic/dendritic lineage. Because CD86(+) blasts may differentiate into DC rapidly, CD86(+)AML patients could be optimal candidates for immunotherapy studies, both in autologous and allogeneic settings.
本研究旨在确定急性髓系白血病(AML)中CD86共刺激分子的表达是否能识别向单核细胞/树突状细胞谱系分化的原始细胞。
对诊断时观察的110例连续AML患者进行流式细胞术研究。在选定的实验中,分别在存在或不存在肿瘤坏死因子-α(TNF-α)或粒细胞-巨噬细胞集落刺激因子(GM-CSF)+白细胞介素-4(IL-4)的情况下,对CD34(+)CD86(+)或CD34(-)CD86(+)原始细胞进行体外培养,以诱导树突状分化,并通过形态学和免疫表型分析进行记录。在混合白细胞培养和抗白血病细胞毒性试验中测试T细胞对CD86(+)AML细胞和白血病树突状细胞(AML-DC)的同种异体反应性。
54%的AML表达CD86,而CD80和CD1a仅偶尔呈阳性。CD86(+)AML样本包括M5和M4,但也有47%的M0-M1 FAB类型,并且比CD86(-)AML更频繁地表达CD14(+)(p < 0.00001)和CD34(-)(p = 0.00005)。根据CD34或CD14的全部或部分共表达情况,确定了六种不同模式的CD86(+)AML。四个富含CD34(+)CD86(+)AML细胞的样本在与GM-CSF +/- TNF-α进行6天体外培养后分化为CD86(+)、CD80(+)、CD40(+)、CD11c(+)、HLA-DR(++)、CD14(+/-)的AML-DC,这些AML-DC也为CD1a(+)或CD83(+)。CD34(-)CD86(+)AML细胞在3至5天后分化为AML-DC(n = 5个实验),并且通过荧光原位杂交分析在两个AML和AML-DC样本中发现了8号染色体三体。最后,AML-DC比CD86(+)原始细胞诱导更有效的同种异体T细胞增殖、细胞因子释放和抗白血病细胞毒性。
在AML中,CD86是单核细胞/树突状细胞谱系的标志物。由于CD86(+)原始细胞可能迅速分化为DC,CD86(+)AML患者可能是自体和异体环境下免疫治疗研究的最佳候选者。
