Abstract A monoclonal antibody, L5.1, obtained by immunizing a Balb/c mouse with HL60 human promyelocytic leukemia cells, was found to react with both HL60 cells and with the K562(S) cell line. This monoclonal antibody binds and immunoprecipitates a glycoprotein (Mr 87,000) present on the cell surface membrane of K562(S) as a disulfide bonded dimer. In competition experiments L5.1 competes with both transferrin and OKT9 (a known antitransferrin receptor antibody) for binding to target K562(S) erythroleukemia cells. Binding of both L5.1 and transferrin to the surface of K562(S) cells is inhibited by treatment with 12--O- tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate, and the extent and time course of inhibition is similar in both cases. Cell sorting analysis of normal human marrow cells incubated with L5.1 indicates that L5.1 reacts strongly with all the morphologically recognizable erythroid lineage precursors, from the pronormoblast to the orthochromatic normoblast, and with reticulocytes. Erythrocytes, myeloid elements, monocytes, megakaryocytes and platelets, peripheral blood B and T lymphocytes do not bind significantly with this antibody and only a small fraction of promyelocytes was reactive. Antibody L5.1 did not react with leukemic cells of patients with acute lymphoblastic, myeloblastic and promyelocytic leukemias, but it did react with some established B (1 of 5) and T (2 of 3) cell lines, and a myeloid (1 of 3) cell line, and with PHA-stimulated peripheral blood lymphocytes. The nonhemopoietic cell lines tested did not bind with L5.1 with the exception of a colorectal adenocarcinoma and a melanoma cell line, which were both strongly positive. The relationship of antibody L5.1 to other monoclonal antibodies that bind the transferrin receptor is discussed.

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Gastric cancer is known as the fourth most common cancer. Current treatments for cancer have damaged the sensitive tissues of the healthy body, and in many cases, cancer will be recurrent. Therefore, need for treatments that are more effective is well felt. Researchers have recently shifted their attention towards antipsychotic dopamine antagonists to treat cancer. The anticancer activities of aripiprazole remain unknown. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of aripiprazole on gastric cancer and normal cell lines. METHODS: In this regard, the cytotoxicity and genotoxicity of aripiprazole were investigated in MKN45 and NIH3T3 cell lines by methyl tetrazolium assay and on peripheral blood lymphocytes by micronucleus assay. For this purpose, cells were cultured in 96 wells plate. Stock solutions of aripiprazole and cisplatin were prepared. After cell incubation with different concentrations of aripiprazole (1, 10, 25, 50, 100 and 200 μL), methyl tetrazolium solution was added. For micronucleus assay fresh blood was added to RPMI culture medium 1640 supplemented, and different concentrations of aripiprazole (50, 100 and 200 μL) were added. RESULTS: The finding of present study showed that the IC50 of aripiprazole in the cancer cell line (21.36 μg/mL) was lower than that in the normal cell line (54.17 μg/mL). Moreover, the micronucleus assay showed that the frequency of micronuclei of aripiprazole at concentrations below 200 μM was much less than cisplatin. CONCLUSION: Aripiprazole can be a good cytotoxic compound and good candidate for further studies of cancer therapy.

Abstract Abstract 3305 The differentiating agent ATRA has been used successfully in the treatment of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). By comparison, non-APL AML has not shown similar sensitivity to ATRA induced differentiation. Recent data has suggested that a subset of de novo AML patients with nucleophosmin (NPM1) mutations may benefit from addition of ATRA to conventional therapy. The NPM1 gene has several functions affecting cell cycle proliferation including regulation of ribosome biogenesis and centrosome duplication and it acts as a histone chaperone. Mutation of the NPM1 gene leads to differentiation arrest contributing to AML pathogenesis. We hypothesized that leukemia cells with NPM1 mutations could be induced to undergo differentiation. We tested this hypothesis with the NPM1 mutant AML cell line OCI-AML3 and compared the results to identical assays using the AML cell line HL-60 which has been previously well documented to differentiate in response to ATRA therapy. OCI-AML3 and HL-60 cell lines were treated for 5 days with control media and four ATRA doses including 0.2 μM, 1 μM, 5 μM, and 25 μM. Cell viability was assessed by flow cytometry. Compared to the control condition, OCI-AML3 cells treated with the lowest dose of ATRA (0.2 μM) had a live cell count 21.6% of the control. HL-60 cells treated at even the highest ATRA dose (25 uM) had a live cell count 79.3% of the control. Due to the sensitivity of OCI-AML3 cells to the toxic effects of ATRA, the experiment was repeated with lower doses of ATRA including 0.001 μM, 0.01 μM and 0.1 μM. At the lowest dose of ATRA (0.001 μM), OCI-AML3 cells demonstrated a cell viability of 49% with further decrease to 26% at 0.1 μM dose of ATRA. At similar ATRA doses, cell viability for HL-60 cells was 91% and 85%, respectively (see table 1). Table 1: Cell viability as a percent of control cells after 5 days of treatment at three different doses of ATRA in OCI-AML3 and HL-60 cell lines. Cell Line: ATRA 0.001 μM ATRA 0.01 μM ATRA 0.1 μM OCI-AML3 49% 33% 26% HL-60 91% 91% 85% We subsequently determined the time course of changes in cell growth and the extent of differentiation at each point was determined by morphologic assessment. Both cell lines were treated with ATRA at doses of 0.001 μM, 0.01 μM, 0.1 μM, and 1 μM for a total of 4 days. Each day viable cell number was determined. In contrast to the HL-60 cells which had continued growth in lower ATRA doses, OCI-AML3 cells demonstrated exquisite sensitivity to growth arrest at the lowest doses of ATRA. Cell morphology was assessed daily with modified Wright-Giemsa staining of cells. Cells were examined for signs of myeloid differentiation including decrease in nuclear to cytoplasmic (N/C) ratio, nuclear segmentation, and cytoplasmic granules and vacuoles. At the lowest dose of ATRA (0.001 μM), after 4 days of exposure, significant number of OCI-AML3 cells demonstrated morphologic evidence of differentiation. At this ATRA dose and exposure interval, HL-60 cells showed no evidence of differentiation. At an ATRA dose of 1 μM (considered a standard dose used for differentiation of HL-60 cells), the OCI-AML3 cells showed differentiation changes as early as day 2 with nuclear segmentation and decreased N/C ratio while HL-60 cells did not show any change at this time point. After 4 days of ATRA exposure, most OCI-AML3 cells showed segmented nuclei and vacuolated cytoplasm, whereas HL-60 cells showed less distinct signs of differentiation with some cytoplasm granules and cup shaped nuclei. This data suggests that leukemic cells with NPM mutations may be susceptible to the pro-differentiating properties of ATRA. Further substantiation of this data with primary human specimens may ultimately provide the rationale for a novel therapeutic option using ATRA-based differentiation therapy for subsets of non-APL AML. Disclosures: No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Gastric cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related death globally. Unfortunately, the survival rate of the gastric cancer patients who underwent chemotherapy following surgery has been less than a half. Besides, chemotherapy has many side effects. Current evidence suggests that some antidepressants like duloxetine have growth-inhibiting effects against a number of cancer cell lines. OBJECTIVE: Thus, the aim of this study was to determine the cytotoxic and genotoxic effects of duloxetine on gastric cancer. METHODS: In this regard, the cytotoxicity and genotoxicity of duloxetine were investigated in MKN45 and NIH3T3 cell lines by MTT assay and on peripheral blood lymphocytes by MN assay. For this purpose, cells were cultured in 96 wells plate. Stock solutions of duloxetine and cisplatin were prepared. After cell incubation with different concentrations of duloxetine (1, 10, 25, 50, 100 and 200 μL), MTT solution was added. For micronucleus assay fresh blood was added to RPMI culture medium 1640 supplemented, and different concentrations of duloxetine (1, 10, 25, 50, 100 and 200 μL) were added. RESULTS: The cytotoxicity of duloxetine on MKN45 cancer cell line and NIH3T3 normal cell line were studied followed by MTT assay. duloxetine exhibited higher IC50 in the MKN45 cells in comparison with the NIH3T3 cells. In addition, genotoxic effect of duloxetine was evaluated by micronucleus assay. The results revealed that duloxetine induced more DNA damage at 100 and 200 μM and no significant difference at 200 μM with respect to cisplatin, but it had less genotoxic effects at 100 and 50 μM concentrations. CONCLUSION: Although, in this study, duloxetine had less genotoxicity than cisplatin in concentrations under 200 μM and showed cytotoxic effects as well, due to its IC50, it cannot be considered as a better choice for gastric cancer therapies with respect to cisplatin as a common anticancer drug.

Basophilic Leukemia

Bsp-1 is an IgM murine monoclonal antibody raised against the human erythroblastic leukemia cell line (HEL) that reacts with basophils but not neutrophils or eosinophils. Western blotting techniques showed that Bsp-1 reacts with a 45-kilodalton surface antigen on HEL cells. The distribution of Bsp-1 antigen on leukemic cells is confined to a basophilic leukemia cell line, KU812, chronic myeloid leukemia with basophilia, and some cases of acute undifferentiated leukemia. Bsp-1 might therefore be a useful reagent for the study of basophil function and differentiation.

The expression of cytoplasmic CD3 (CyCD3) was analyzed in 45 leukemias, five thymus cell samples, five peripheral blood (PB) samples, and ten cell lines. All T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemias (T-ALL) that did not express surface membrane CD3 (SmCD3) appeared to express CyCD3. Furthermore, the majority of SmCD3+ T-ALL also expressed CyCD3. Analogous results were obtained with thymus cell samples in that about 95% of the thymocytes expressed CyCD3 whereas 60% to 75% of the thymocytes also expressed SmCD3. In normal peripheral blood only prominent SmCD3 expression was found. These data indicate that immature T cells express CyCD3 only, that the combined expression of CyCD3 and SmCD3 is characteristic for intermediate differentiation stages, and that mature T cells express prominent SmCD3. All (precursor) B cell leukemias, acute myeloid leukemias, and non-T cell lines tested did not express CyCD3. On the basis of these data, we conclude that CyCD3 expression is restricted to the T cell lineage and can be used as a diagnostic marker for immature SmCD3- T cell malignancies. Therefore, we evaluated which fixative is optimal for CyCD3 staining, and we determined by immunofluorescence staining and Western blotting which anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody (MoAb) can be used for the detection of CyCD3. In our opinion, acid ethanol was the best fixative for the cytocentrifuge preparations. Furthermore, we demonstrated that CyCD3 can be easily detected by use of MoAbs raised against denaturated CD3 chains such as those of the SP series (SP-6, SP-10, SP-64, and SP-78). In addition we tested 22 anti-CD3 MoAbs of the Oxford CD3 panel that were raised against native SmCD3, and it appeared that only four (UCHT1, VIT-3b, G19–41 and SK7/Leu-4) of them were able to detect CyCD3. In Western blot analysis all four MoAbs recognized the CD3- epsilon chain only.

Abstract Although the formation of terminally differentiated erythroid cells has been shown to require the presence of a functional GATA-1 gene in vivo, the role of this transcription factor and other members of the GATA family at earlier stages of erythroid differentiation is unclear. In this report, the expression of GATA-1, GATA-2, and GATA-3 has been examined in enriched peripheral blood progenitors before and after culture in a well-characterized liquid culture system. In addition primary leukemic cells as well as several erythroleukemic and nonerythroid cell lines were analyzed for GATA factor expression. The results show that the profile of GATA factor expression in erythroid cells is distinct from that of myeloid or lymphoid lineages. Erythroleukemic cell lines express little or no GATA-3, but high levels of GATA-1 and GATA-2. When they are induced to display the terminal erythroid phenotype, little change in the level of GATA-1 is detected but a significant decline in the levels of GATA-2 is observed commensurate with the degree of maturation achieved by the cells. Enrichment of erythroid progenitors from peripheral blood leads to selection of cells that express both GATA-1 and GATA-2. As the enriched populations are cultured in suspension in the presence of multiple cytokines, the levels of both GATA-1 and GATA-2 initially increase. However, in cultures containing only erythropoietin, which show exclusive erythroid differentiation, the levels of GATA-1 continue to increase, whereas GATA-2 expression declines as erythroid maturation progresses. In contrast, cultures lacking Epo (ie, with interleukin-3 and kit ligand) display limited progression towards both the myeloid and erythroid pathways, and high levels of expression of both GATA-1 and GATA-2 are maintained. Despite the initial upregulation of GATA-1 expression in the latter cultures, terminal erythroid differentiation does not occur in the absence of erythropoietin. These results indicate that GATA-1 upregulation is associated with both the initiation and the maintenance of the erythroid program, but that these two processes appear to be under separate regulatory control. Thus, the dynamic changes in the levels of different GATA factors that occur during primary erythroid differentiation suggest that the levels of these factors may influence the progression to specific hematopoietic pathways.
