Philadelphia (Ph) positive chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) cannot be induced into a true remission with conventional chemotherapy. Blast cells and precursors obtained from 51 Ph+ CML cases were assayed for expression of the multidrug resistance (MDR)-associated glycoprotein (p170) by immunocytochemistry (APAAP) with the MRK-16 monoclonal antibody.
Positive cells were found in 11/17 cases in chronic phase (65%), in 4/8 cases in accelerated phase, and in 23/26 cases in blastic phase (89%). The proportion of positive cells, which ranged between less than 1% and 95%, was higher in blastic phase (mean 32 +/- 29.9) than in chronic phase (mean 3 +/- 5.3) (p = 0.006). These findings show that p170 overexpression is common in Ph+ CML, especially after progression to blastic phase, and suggest that p170-related MDR may contribute significantly to treatment failure.
费城(Ph)阳性慢性髓性白血病(CML)无法通过传统化疗诱导至真正缓解。采用MRK - 16单克隆抗体,通过免疫细胞化学法(APAAP)对51例Ph + CML病例的原始细胞和前体细胞进行多药耐药(MDR)相关糖蛋白(p170)表达检测。
慢性期17例中有11例(65%)检测到阳性细胞,加速期8例中有4例,急变期26例中有23例(89%)。阳性细胞比例在1%以下至95%之间,急变期(平均32±29.9)高于慢性期(平均3±5.3)(p = 0.006)。这些发现表明,p170过表达在Ph + CML中常见,尤其是进展至急变期后,提示p170相关的多药耐药可能是治疗失败的重要原因。
