Abnormal Responsiveness of Granulocyte-Macrophage Committed Colonyforming Cells from Patients with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia to Inhibition by Prostaglandin E

Abnormal Responsiveness of Granulocyte-Macrophage Committed Colonyforming Cells from Patients... The formation of myeloid colonies in soft-agar cultures of normal human marrow was markedly inhibited by prostaglandin E. Morphological characterization of colonies in the presence or absence of prostaglandin E 1 showed that inhibition was restricted to monocytoid rather than neutrophil differentiation. Myeloid colony formation by granulocyte-macrophage-committed colony-forming cells from patients with chronic myeloid leukemia was not inhibited even by high concentrations of prostaglandin E and was independent of colony morphology. The altered sensitivity of leukemic colony-forming cells to prostaglandin E was observed at all stages of the disease and persisted following chemotherapy-induced reversion to a partial or complete Philadelphia chromosome-negative bone marrow status. This evidence suggests that altered myeloid stem cell sensitivity to a normal regulatory factor may play a role in the pathophysiology of chronic myeloid leukemia. 1 Supported by Grants CA-08748, CA-23528, and CA-20194, and the Gar Reichman Foundation. 2 Recipient of National Service Award F32-CA-05904 from the National Cancer Institute, Department of Health, Education, and Welfare.
