neoplasm
• mice develop acute leukemia with an incidence of 7% at 12 months of age
• leukemia cells are present in the bone marrow, spleen, lymph nodes and infiltrate multiple organs, including the CNS
• 94% of leukemias have a B cell precursor phenotype
|
hematopoietic system
• in leukemic mice
|
• progenitor B cells proliferate extensively in methylcellulose culture supplemented with IL-7, SCF, and FLT3 and are severely compromised in the their ability to differentiate into CD43- cells compared with progenitor B cells from controls indicating enhanced proliferation of progenitor B cells
|
• mice show perturbed early B cell progenitor cell differentiation
|
• leukemic blasts are arrested at the pro/pre-B stage of B cell precursor differentiation
|
• in leukemic mice
|
• a lower percentage of B cells are seen in the peripheral blood over a 30 week period in healthy preleukemic mice
|
• decrease in immature and recirculating B cells in the bone marrow in healthy preleukemic mice
|
• leukemic mice present with leukocytosis
|
• enhanced proliferation of progenitor B cells
• preleukemic mice irradiated sublethally to deplete the endogenous B cell populations show regeneration of B cell progenitors with a dramatic expansion of B220lo progenitor cell population indicating enhanced B cell progenitor self-renewal
|
