Syndecan-1 (CD138), an important transmembrane heparan sulfate proteoglycan is expressed in distinct stages of cell differentiation. Although its expression in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) cells is well known: its function or presence in acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML) cells is still largely unknown. The expression of syndecan-1 was studied in bone marrow biopsies of three patients with AML using electron microscopic immunocytochemistry. Positive expression of syndecan-1 was found in AML cells. These results suggest that syndecan-1 expression is not only a characteristic phenotypic marker for ALL, but is also expressed in AML cells.
Syndecan-1(CD138)是一种重要的跨膜硫酸乙酰肝素蛋白聚糖,在细胞分化的不同阶段表达。尽管其在急性淋巴细胞白血病(ALL)细胞中的表达已为人所知,但其在急性髓细胞白血病(AML)细胞中的功能或存在情况仍大多未知。使用电子显微镜免疫细胞化学方法,对三名AML患者的骨髓活检组织中syndecan-1的表达进行了研究。在AML细胞中发现了syndecan-1的阳性表达。这些结果表明,syndecan-1的表达不仅是ALL的特征性表型标志物,也在AML细胞中表达。
