DIVERGENT PATTERNS OF MARROW CELL-SUSPENSION CULTURE GROWTH IN MYELOID LEUKEMIAS - CORRELATION OF INVITRO FINDINGS WITH CLINICAL FEATURES
DIVERGENT PATTERNS OF MARROW CELL-SUSPENSION CULTURE GROWTH IN MYELOID LEUKEMIAS - CORRELATION OF INVITRO FINDINGS WITH CLINICAL FEATURES BLOOD Elias, L., Greenberg, P. 1977; 50 (2): 263-274Abstract
Cellular recovery, maturation, and colony-forming cell (CFC) generation patterns of bone marrow cells from 23 patients with acute, subacute, and chronic myeloid leukemia (AML, SML, and CML) were studied using liquid and agar culture techniques. Increased recovery of proliferative myeloid cells from liquid culture was noted in 6 of 8 AML patients at diagnosis or relapse and 5 of 7 untreated SML patients. Patients with either AML or SML with rapid clinical progression exhibited greater recovery of cells in vitro with less maturation than patients with more stable disease. Studies from 3 patients with CML showed normal to increased cellular recovery with normal maturation. Three of 4 studies of AML patients followed sequentially in apparent remission, but with impending relapse, exhibited increased numbers of myeloblasts and promyelocytes, whereas 28 of 32 studies performed during stable remission were normal. The normally observed increase in CFC during liquid culture was absent in most leukemic marrow samples studied (3 of 4 AML, 4 of 6 SML, and 2 of 3 CML). Persistent low recovery of CFC during AML remission was associated in 3 patients with short remission duration. These studies indicated the potential utility of these techniques for the clinical evaluation of patients with myeloid leukemia and for studying factors involved in the progression of these diseases.
