ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the role of bone marrow vascular niche in the development of MLL-AF9 acute myeloid leukemia (AML).METHODS:
Transplantation experiments were performed to establish non-radiated MLL-AF9 AML model; the half-bone immunofluorescence staining and tile-scan imaging of two-photon confocal microscopy were used to obtain the data of 3 main bone marrow niche cells; flow cytometry analysis was performed to characterize leukemia cells in different anatomical sites.RESULTS:
In the early stage of MLL-AF9 AML, the proportion of leukemia cells in the metaphysis of the femur was significantly higher than that in the diaphysis. The detection of apoptosis and proliferation rate of leukemia cells showed that the percentage of leukemia cells in metaphysis significantly decreased, and the proliferation (S/G2/M phase) was also significantly more active. These different features of leukemia cells may relate with different bone marrow microenvironment. The image data of 3 major components of bone marrow niche (endothelial cells, endosteum, megakaryocytes) showed different distribution of blood vessels in metaphysis and diaphysis. Furtherly comparing the spatial distance between leukemia cells and endothelial cells, endosteum, megakaryocytes indicated that leukemia cells are closer to the blood vessels, suggesting the important role of blood vessels in the development of leukemia. Glucose uptake assays and intracellular ROS detection showed that the supportive role of blood vessels for leukemia cells did not related with nutrient metabolism pathway.CONCLUSION:
The vascular niche plays an important role in the development of leukemia, and does not relate with the transport of nutrients and the elimination of metabolic waste, instead, which may relate with perivascular cytokines or other vascular functions.
