Lineage infidelity in acute leukemia.

L J Smith, J E Curtis, H A Messner

    Blood
    |June 1, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary

    Acute leukemia blast cells sometimes show mixed lineage markers, termed lineage infidelity. This finding in acute myeloid leukemia and acute lymphoblastic leukemia correlates with a lower chance of remission.

    Area of Science:

    • Hematology
    • Cancer Biology
    • Immunophenotyping

    Background:

    • Acute leukemia is classified based on morphology using the French-American-British (FAB) system.
    • Understanding leukemia cell differentiation is crucial for diagnosis and treatment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate lineage infidelity in acute leukemia blast cells.
    • To correlate immunophenotypic findings with clinical diagnosis and treatment outcomes.

    Main Methods:

    • Studied blast cells from 20 acute leukemia patients (13 myeloblastic, 7 lymphoblastic) using lineage-specific antibodies.
    • Compared patient samples with normal bone marrow, regenerating marrow, and cultured marrow colonies.

    Main Results:

    • Phenotypic findings generally matched clinical diagnoses.
    • Observed lineage infidelity in 9/20 patients: 6 intramyeloid and 3 interlineage.
    • No lineage infidelity found in control samples.

    Conclusions:

    • Lineage infidelity in acute leukemia blast cells is a distinct phenomenon.
    • A significant trend links lineage infidelity to failure of remission induction.
    • Suggests abnormal gene expression in leukemia pathogenesis.
