Abstract

We have investigated whether immunophenotyping measured by laser flow cytometry could be corresponding to FAB classification of acute leukemias, using multi-parametric analysis. Sixty-one patients with acute leukemias have been evaluated, including 23 patients with acute lymphocytic leukemias (ALL) and 38 patients with acute myelogenous leukemias. In principal component analysis, positive cell surface antigens could be classified into groups along to the cell lineage and differentiation. In discriminant analysis, the sensitivity by immunophenotypic method to FAB subtypes was 75%, whereas the specificity was over 90%. In cluster analysis, patients have been classified into 4 groups, which essentially corresponded to ALL, M1/M2, M3 and M4/M5. Based on those multi-parametric analysis, a new flow chart has been established, resulting that the sensitivity and the specificity was improved to over 90% and 95% respectively. These results suggest that the classification of acute leukemia using the flow chart could be useful tools for diagnosis of subtypes of acute leukemias.

Sperm protein 17 is expressed on normal and malignant lymphocytes and promotes heparan sulfate-mediated cell-cell adhesion.

Sperm protein 17 (Sp17) is a highly conserved mammalian protein present on acrosome-reacted sperm that is thought to promote fertilization by binding sulfated carbohydrates of the oocyte zona pellucida. Although Sp17 was originally described as a testis-specific antigen, emerging evidence indicates that it may be more ubiquitously expressed than was previously thought. With the use of a specific antiserum, Sp17 was found to be present on the surface of malignant lymphoid cells, including B- and T-lymphoid cell lines, and on the surface of primary cells isolated from 2 patients having B-lymphoid tumors. Surprisingly, circulating B lymphocytes isolated from healthy volunteers also expressed Sp17, while circulating T lymphocytes exhibited only very weak expression. The role of Sp17 in promoting lymphoid cell adhesion was addressed with the use of recombinant Sp17 (rSp17). The rSp17 binds to the surface of myeloma cells but not to cells pretreated with heparitinase, an enzyme that removes heparan sulfate from the cell surface. Moreover, rSp17 promotes extensive aggregation of cells that express the syndecan-1 heparan sulfate proteoglycan, but in contrast, cells lacking syndecan-1 expression fail to aggregate in the presence of rSp17. These findings suggest that Sp17 promotes heparan sulfate-mediated cell aggregation and thereby plays a role in regulating adhesion and migration of normal and malignant lymphocytes.

Assay of spherical cell surface molecules by thermal lens microscopy and its application to blood cell substances.

To detect and quantitate uneven cell surface molecules, such as blood group antigens on a blood cell and immunoglobulin molecules on a mast cell, an improved method of thermal lens microscopy was employed. The antigen molecules were immunologically stained with their antibodies, which were labeled with colloidal gold. Since the surface of the biological cells was not flat but spherical, the focal point of the probe laser beam inevitably deviated from the sample surface on the moving stage. Therefore, the deviation of the focal point of the probe beam was corrected by adjusting the phase of the signal. Using this technique, a three-dimensional antigen distribution on each cell surface was imaged. Despite the convex surface of cells, labeled colloidal gold was correctly quantified. In the measurement of erythrocyte antigens, a small quantity of Lewis antigens was successfully detected on the umbilical cord erythrocytes. Immunoglobulin E on a mast cell, derived from the allergic human mucosa fungus, was also observed by this method, and the distribution of IgE molecules on the cell surface was quantitatively imaged. A thermal lens microscope, which measures spherical samples correcting the deviation, made it possible for us to observe and assay the substances on biological specimens that have complicated forms, such as living cells in vivo or in situ.

Decreased expression of Toll-like receptor-4 and MD-2 correlates with intestinal epithelial cell protection against dysregulated proinflammatory gene expression in response to bacterial lipopolysaccharide.

The lumenal surface of the colonic epithelium is continually exposed to Gram-negative commensal bacteria and LPS. Recognition of LPS by Toll-like receptor (TLR)-4 results in proinflammatory gene expression in diverse cell types. Normally, however, commensal bacteria and their components do not elicit an inflammatory response from intestinal epithelial cells (IEC). The aim of this study is to understand the molecular mechanisms by which IEC limit chronic activation in the presence of LPS. Three IEC lines (Caco-2, T84, HT-29) were tested for their ability to activate an NF-kappaB reporter gene in response to purified, protein-free LPS. No IEC line responded to LPS, whereas human dermal microvessel endothelial cells (HMEC) did respond to LPS. IEC responded vigorously to IL-1beta in this assay, demonstrating that the IL-1 receptor signaling pathway shared by TLRs was intact. To determine the reason for LPS hyporesponsiveness in IEC, we examined the expression of TLR4 and MD-2, a critical coreceptor for TLR4 signaling. IEC expressed low levels of TLR4 compared with HMEC and none expressed MD-2. To determine whether the low level of TLR4 expression or absent MD-2 was responsible for the LPS signaling defect in IEC, the TLR4 or MD-2 gene was transiently expressed in IEC lines. Transient transfection of either gene individually was not sufficient to restore LPS signaling, but cotransfection of TLR4 and MD-2 in IEC led to synergistic activation of NF-kappaB and IL-8 reporter genes in response to LPS. We conclude that IEC limit dysregulated LPS signaling by down-regulating expression of MD-2 and TLR4. The remainder of the intracellular LPS signaling pathway is functionally intact.
