Excessive production of transforming growth factor-beta by bone marrow stromal cells in B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia inhibits growth of hematopoietic precursors and interleukin-6 production

L Lagneaux, A Delforge, C Dorval, D Bron and P Stryckmans

Service de Medecine Interne, Institut J. Bordet, Brussels, Belgium.

To explore the pathogenesis of marrow failure in B-cell type chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL), we have examined the production of interleukin-6 (IL-6), granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), and granulocyte-macrophage CSF (GM-CSF) by the adherent cell population of bone marrow (BM) derived from B-CLL patients and their capacity to support hematopoietic cell proliferation. Lipopolysaccharide-stimulated B-CLL stromal cells produced G-CSF and GM-CSF in amounts similar to normal stromal layers, whereas IL-6 production was significantly decreased. Using the blast-colony forming cell assay (BI-CFC) and the classical colony-forming unit granulocyte macrophage (CFU-GM) assay, we found that: (1) marrow stromal cells of B-CLL were able to support only 25% of the BI-CFC growth supported by normal marrow stromal cells; (2) this anomaly was partially corrected by the addition of exogenous IL-6; (3) the colony-stimulating activity (CSA) of the conditioned medium (CM) of B-CLL stromal cells was lower than that of normal CM; (4) that this was the result of the presence of an inhibitor rather that of a growth factor defect; (5) this inhibition could be abrogated by addition of anti-transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) neutralizing antibody; (6) this antibody corrected the deficient colony supportive activity of the B-CLL stromal cells; (7) TGF-beta production by marrow stromal cells was significantly increased in CLL compared with normal; and (8) that this was not caused by the effect of the B- CLL lymphocytes on the stromal cells. It is concluded that this increased TGF-beta production in B-CLL is probably responsible for the decreased IL-6 production by stromal cells and for the inhibiting activity on hematopoietic precursors as well. We hypothesize that TGF- beta generated at a high level by B-CLL marrow stromal cells could play a major role in the pathophysiology of the BM failure seen in advanced stages of B-CLL.
