Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells can secrete trophic factors, including extracellular vesicles (EVs), instructing the stromal leukemic niche. Here, we introduce a scalable workflow for purification of immunomodulatory AML-EVs to compare their phenotype and function to the parental AML cells and their secreted soluble factors. AML cell lines HL-60, KG-1, OCI-AML3, and MOLM-14 released EVs with a peak diameter of approximately 80 nm in serum-free particle-reduced medium. We enriched EVs >100x using tangential flow filtration (TFF) and separated AML-derived soluble factors and cells in parallel. EVs were characterized by electron microscopy, immunoblotting, and flow cytometry, confirming the double-membrane morphology, purity and identity. AML-EVs showed significant enrichment of immune response and leukemia-related pathways in tandem mass-tag proteomics and a significant dose-dependent inhibition of T cell proliferation, which was not observed with AML cells or their soluble factors. Furthermore, AML-EVs dose-dependently reduced NK cell lysis of third-party K-562 leukemia targets. This emphasizes the peculiar role of AML-EVs in leukemia immune escape and indicates novel EV-based targets for therapeutic interventions.

AbstractChemical investigation of the stems of Dulacia egleri resulted in the isolation of eglerisine (1), a compound with a rare sesquiterpenoid tropolone skeleton. Its structure was determined by analysis of spectrometric and spectroscopic data, including HRESIMS, 1D, and 2D NMR. The antiproliferative effects of eglerisine were tested in human leukemia lineages. In the Kasumi-1 lineage, an acute myeloid leukemia cell line, eglerisine reduced cell metabolism, as determined by the resazurin assay. Eglerisine did not induce cell death by either apoptotic or necrotic mechanisms. However, a reduction of the absolute number of cells was observed. Eglerisine induced cell cycle arrest after 72 h of treatment by phosphorylation of H2AX histone, reducing the S phase and increasing the G2 phase of the cell cycle.

Abstract Because mutations in receptor tyrosine kinases may contribute to cellular transformation, studies were undertaken to examine c-kit in human leukemia. Isoforms of c-kit have been characterized in the human megakaryoblastic leukemia cell line M-07. Deletion of the four amino acids Gly-Asn-Asn-Lys in the extracellular domain represents an alternatively spliced isoform that has been shown by others, in mice, to be associated with constitutive receptor autophosphorylation (Reith et al, EMBO J 10:2451, 1991). Additional isoforms differ in the inclusion or exclusion of a serine residue in the interkinase domain, a region that contains the binding site for phosphatidylinositol 3- kinase. By RNase protection analysis, we have shown coexpression of the Gly-Asn-Asn-Lys+ and Gly-Asn-Asn-Lys- isoforms, with dominance of the Gly-Asn-Asn-Lys- transcript, in normal human bone marrow, normal melanocytes, a range of tumor cell lines, and the blasts of 23 patients with acute myeloid leukemia. Analysis of transcripts for the Ser+ and Ser- isoforms also showed coexpression in all normal and leukemic cells examined. The ratios of isoform expression for both the Gly-Asn-Asn-Lys and Ser variants were relatively constant, providing no evidence in the tumors examined that upregulation of one isoform contributes to the neoplastic process.

Abstract A novel leukemic cell line with an 8;21 chromosome translocation, designated as Kasumi-1, was established from the peripheral blood of a 7-year-old boy suffering from acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The Kasumi- 1 cells were positive for myeloperoxidase showing a morphology of myeloid maturation. The response in proliferation assay was observed in the culture with interleukin-3 (IL-3), IL-6, granulocyte colony- stimulating factor (G-CSF), and granulocytemacrophage CSF (GM-CSF), but not with IL-1 or IL-5. Neither granulocytic nor eosinophilic maturation was observed in the liquid culture by the addition of dimethyl sulfoxide, G-CSF, or IL-5, respectively. In contrast, induction of macrophagelike cells was seen by the addition of phorbol ester. This is the first report of a human AML cell line with t(8;21) that has characteristics of myeloid and macrophage lineages. The cell line could be a useful tool for elucidating the pathophysiology of AML with t(8;21).

Abstract Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is initiated and maintained by a rare population of (leukemic stem cells) LSCs. LSCs play the central role in the relapse and refractory of AML and highlight the critical need for the new therapeutic strategies to directly target the LSC population for ultimately curing leukemia which is it is important to identify and study LSCs. However, relatively little is known about the unique molecular mechanisms of survival and self-renewal of LSCs because of very small number of LSCs in bone marrow. In this study, we investigated whether established leukemia cell lines contain LSCs. We showed that leukemia cell line contain leukemic stem-like cells which have been phenotypically restricted within the CD34+CD38− fraction. We demonstrated that CD34+CD38− cells could generate CD34+CD38+ cells in culture medium and had proliferation function. Moreover, CD34+CD38− cells had self-renewal potential both in vitro soft agar colonies formation assay and in vivo NOD/SCID mouse xenotransplant model serial transplantation. Furthermore, CD34+CD38− cells isolated from leukemia cell line were found resistant to conventional chemotherapy and NK cells-mediated cytotoxicity and these were related to up-regulation of ABCG2 and MRP-1 and antiapoptotic proteins of Bcl2. Down-regulation of NKG2D ligand also played a critical role in NK cytotoxicity resistance. Taken together, our studies provide a novel cell model for leukemic stem cells research. Our data also shed light on mechanism of double resistant to resistant to chemotherapy and NK cell immunotherapy, which was helpful for developing novel effective strategies for LSCs.
