RESUMO

Background: Differential diagnosis of chronic lymphoproliferative disorders (CLDs) has remained challenging due to the highly variable morphology features and immunophenotyping. Currently, the development of multiple-marker panel analyses by flow cytometry has opened a broad way for diagnosis of CLDs. Methods: We analyzed the peripheral blood and bone marrow samples of 131 patients with B-cell CLDs (including 91 chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), 15 atypical CLL, 14 mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), and 11 CD5-/CD10-lymphoma patients) from April 2018 to April 2019, using a panel of specific markers by flow cytometry. Results: Our results indicated that the expression pattern of CD22, CD23, FMC-7, and CD5 allowed us to accurately and differentially diagnose the B-CLL, MCL, and CD5-/CD10- lymphoma, while it was not capable of differentiating MCL from atypical CLL. We, however, found that the expression patterns of CD38 and immunoglobulin light chain differed significantly between atypical B-CLL and MCL. CD38 and lambda light chain were remarkably expressed in MCL patients (92.8% and 85%, respectively) compared to the atypical CLL (1.1% and 0% respectively), with the p value less than 0.001 for both markers. In contrast to MCL patients, all the patients with atypical CLL, expressed kappa light chain. The immunohistochemistry method used for cyclin D1 confirmed that the flow cytometry detection of kappa and lambda light chains could provide a new approach with high sensitivity (91%) and moderate specificity (50%) to distinguish MCL patients from atypical B-CLL. Conclusion: Expression of CD5, CD20 (bright), CD22, FMC-7, CD38, and lambda light chain with no expression of CD23 can accurately detect MCL and differentiate it from atypical B-CLL

RESUMO

C-X-C motif chemokine 12 (CXCL12), also known as stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1), is produced by the bone marrow microenvironment. This chemokine binds and activates its cognate receptors C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4 (CXCR4) and C-X-C chemokine receptor type 7 (CXCR7) to widely regulate cell proliferation, survival, differentiation, as well as homing and mobilization of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) in specialized niches within the bone marrow. Given this key role in hematopoiesis, it comes as no surprise that any aberrancies in CXCL12/CXCR4 or CXCL12/CXCR7 pathways might lead to excessive proliferation of HSCs, an event that leads to the development of leukemia. So far, numerous therapeutic interventions have been developed to harness CXCL12/CXCR4 and CXCL12/CXCR7 axes in leukemic cells. Plerixafor, BKT140, LY2510924, PF-06747143, ulocuplumab, and NOX-A12 are among the most well-known CXCR4 and CXCL12 modulators that their therapeutic efficacies have been evaluated in different pre-clinical and clinical studies of hematologic malignancies. To have an overview of the importance of CXCL12/CXCR4 and CXCL12/CXCR7 axes in the pathogenesis of leukemia and to gather information about the latest advances as well as challenges in targeting these axes in clinical settings, the present review has begun with a discussion about how aberrant expression of CXCL12/CXCR4 and CXCL12/CXCR7 pathways might regulate leukemogenesis and ended by outlining the key news of preclinical and clinical investigations in leukemia treatment.

RESUMO

The reputation of conventional treatment in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) has recently been questioned due to the considerable increment in the number of relapsed patients. The remarkable role of histone deacetylase (HDAC) enzymes in induction of chemo-resistance has provided an opportunity for HDAC inhibitors to be used as a treatment strategy in ALL; however, the compensatory activation of oncogenic pathways may negatively affect their promising effects. In the present study, we found an attenuating effect for PI3K axis on the anti-leukemic effects of panobinostat in pre-B ALL-derived Nalm-6 cells, as the harnessing of this pathway using BKM120 or CAL-101 resulted in a significant reduction in the number of viable cells as well as the metabolic activity. Moreover, we found the altered expression of p21, p27, c-Myc, and CDK4 upon co-treatment of the cells with panobinostat and BKM120, which was associated with a substantial blockage of cell cycle progression at G2/M phase. The companionship of the PI3K inhibitor with HDAC inhibitor also potentiated panobinostat-induced apoptotic cell death and enhanced the mRNA of Foxo3a and Foxo4. Conclusively, this study sheds light on the adjuvantive effects of BKM120 on panobinostat efficacy and outlined that the simultaneous inhibition of PI3K and HDACs may be a promising therapeutic approach to improve the cure rates of ALL.

RESUMO

Although the definitive role of epigenetic modulations in a wide range of hematologic malignancies, spanning from leukemia to lymphoma and multiple myeloma, has been evidenced, few articles reviewed the task. Given the high accessibility of histone deacetylase (HDACs) to necessary transcription factors involved in hematopoiesis, this review aims to outline physiologic impacts of these enzymes in normal hematopoiesis, and also to outline the original data obtained from international research laboratories on their regulatory role in the differentiation and maturation of different hematopoietic lineages. Questions on how aberrant expression of HDACs contributes to the formation of hematologic malignancies are also responded, because these classes of enzymes have a respectable share in the development, progression, and recurrence of leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma. The last section provides a special focus on the therapeutic perspectiveof HDACs inhibitors, either as single agents or in a combined-modal strategy, in these neoplasms. In conclusion, optimizing the dose and the design of more patient-tailored inhibitors, while maintaining low toxicity against normal cells, will help improve clinical outcomes of HDAC inhibitors in hematologic malignancies.

RESUMO

Identification of the roles of epigenetic alterations in cancers has suggested that different molecules involved in this process are potentially therapeutic targets. Given the role of histone deacetylases (HDACs) enzymes in leukemogenesis, we designed a study to investigate the anti-leukemic property of panobinostat, a HDAC inhibitor, in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) cells. Our results showed that panobinostat decreased cell viability of pre-B ALL-derived cells. The favorable anti-leukemic effects of the inhibitor was further confirmed by cell cycle analysis, where we found that panobinostat prolonged the transition of the cells from G1 phase probably through c-Myc-mediated up-regulation of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors. Unlike the apoptotic effect of panobinostat on Nalm-6 cells, the expression of anti-apoptotic nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) target genes remained unchanged. Accordingly, we found that the inhibition of NF-κB pathway using bortezomib boosted the effect of panobinostat, indicating that panobinostat-induced apoptosis could be attenuated through the activation of the NF-κB pathway. The results of the present study reflected another aspect of autophagy in leukemic cells, as we showed that although Nalm-6 cells could exploit autophagy to override the anti-survival effect of HDAC inhibition, the presence of an autophagy inhibitor could alter the compensatory circumstance to induce cell death. Beyond panobinostat cytotoxicity as a single agent, synergistic experiments outlined that pharmaceutical targeting of HDACs could amplify the cytotoxicity of vincristine in ALL cells, delineating that panobinostat, either as a single agent or in a combined modality, possesses novel promising potentials for the treatment of ALL.

RESUMO

Although AML-M3 (APL) and HLA-DR negative non-APL are characterized by negative HLA-DR antigen, they are different entities with similar morphology in some cases. The aim of this study is the precise, differential diagnosis of APL from HLA-DR negative non-APL by flow cytometry to narrow the diagnosis window. Bone marrow or blood samples of 580 AML patients were analyzed, and flow cytometry and molecular analysis were performed for the diagnosis of blood disorders. In 105 HLA-DR negative AML patients, expression of HLA-DR, CD33, CD117, CD11b, CD64, CD34, CD9 and myeloperoxidase staining pattern were evaluated. Fifty-six patients were diagnosed with APL, and 49 patients were diagnosed with HLA-DR negative non-APL. The APL blasts expressed CD33, CD117, CD64, and CD9 in 100%, 80.3%, 94.6%, and 100% of the cases, respectively. HLA-DR negative non-APL blasts expressed CD33, CD117, CD64 and CD9 in 75.5%, 59.1%, 32.6%, and 73.4% of the cases, respectively. APL cells were negative for HLA-DR, CD11b, and CD34 in 96.4%, 94.6%, and 91.0%, respectively. Blasts in HLA-DR negative non M3-AML were negative for CD11b, CD117, and CD34 in 77.5%, 40.9%, and 22.4%, respectively. We also investigated myeloperoxidase (MPO) staining pattern and found strong diffuse reaction in APL cells while HLA-DR negative non-APL cells showed focal positive reaction. In all of the APL patients, except for one, PML/RARA translocation was positive, and in another case with HLA-DR negative non-APL, PML/RARA and other translocations were not detected. The six-panel combination profile rapidly and specifically identifies APL from other HLA-DR negative AML.

RESUMO

Interferon gamma (IFN-γ) and interleukin 6 (IL-6) are including the most important cytokines which have been associated with the biological behavioral and immune responses in malignancies. Based on the critical roles which these two cytokines play against tumor cells, the present study was aimed to investigate the genes expression level of IL6 and IFN-γ in patients with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia and compare with normal controls. Fifty-two patients with ALL and 13 healthy volunteer were under studied. The peripheral blood mononuclear cells of all patients and normal controls were separated by ficoll. The expression of interferon gamma and interleukin 6 genes were determined by RQ-PCR. Finally all data were analyzes using T student, one way ANOVA and Mann-Whitney tests were use to analyze all samples data. Our finding showed that the level of IFN-γ gene expression was significant decreased in patients with All as compared with healthy controls (83 change fold, p < 0.0001). The level of IL-6 Gene expression was not changeable in B-ALL patients as compared with healthy control (p = 0.4), but in T-ALL patients, was significantly reduced (p < 0.01). The results of present study indicated that IFN-γ gene expression reduced in ALL patients. It provides a valuable insight that immune system may disrupted in patients with ALL, which cause tumor cells escape from immune surveillance.

RESUMO

Objective: Far beyond hemostasis and thrombosis, significant evidence has indicated the critical role of platelets in atherosclerosis. SDF-1 is among the pro-inflammatory chemokines that are increased in platelets of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). The goal of the current work is to identify the in vitro effect of platelets from either CAD patients or healthy volunteers on the induction of macrophages and foam cells. Materials and Methods: The expression of SDF-1 on platelet surfaces in CAD patients and healthy volunteers was investigated using flow cytometry. We also evaluated the CXCR4/CXCR7 expression on monocytes from buffy coats of healthy volunteers. The effect of platelets from CAD patients and healthy volunteers on differentiation of monocytes and foam cell formation was evaluated using Oil Red O (ORO) staining. Flow cytometry and real-time PCR were also employed to evaluate surface markers and mRNA expression of genes involved in this process after co-culture of platelets with monocytes. Results: Monocytes in co-culture with platelets acquired a spindleshape appearance and ORO-positive lipid droplets. In addition, platelets could induce CD163 expression, as an important marker of M2 macrophage, and upregulate the mRNA expression of the SRB, CD36, ACAT, LXR-α, and ABCA1 genes in monocytes. Notably, platelets of CAD patients with higher expression of SDF-1, increased the expression of genes encoding SRB and CD36 as compared to platelets of healthy volunteers. Conclusion: Our results indicate that platelets from CAD patients could provoke monocyte differentiation into macrophages with an M2 phenotype, which in turn may participate in an atheroprotective process.
