Isolation of a Highly Quiescent Subpopulation of Primitive Leukemic
Cells in Chronic Myeloid Leukemia

Columbia, Canada.
Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is characterized by an increased
proliferative activity of the leukemic progenitors that produce an
elevated number of mature granulocytes. Nevertheless, cell cycle-active
agents, even in very high doses, are alone unable to eradicate the
leukemic clone, suggesting the presence of a rare subset of quiescent
leukemic stem cells. To isolate such cells, we first used Hoechst 33342 and Pyronin Y staining to obtain viable G0 and
G1/S/G2/M fractions of CD34+
cells by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) from 6 chronic-phase CML patients' samples and confirmed the quiescent and
cycling status of the 2 fractions by demonstration of expected patterns of Ki-67 and D cyclin expression. Leukemic
(Ph+/BCR-ABL+) cells with in vitro
progenitor activity and capable of engrafting immunodeficient mice were
identified in the directly isolated G0 cells. Single-cell
reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR)
analysis showed that many leukemic CD34+ G0
cells also expressed BCR-ABL mRNA. CD34+ from 8 CML
patients were also labeled with carboxyfluorescein diacetate
succinimidyl diester (CFSE) before being cultured (with and without
added growth factors) to allow viable cells that had remained quiescent
(ie, CFSE+) after 4 days to be retrieved by FACS.
Leukemic progenitors were again detected in all quiescent populations
isolated by this second strategy, including those exposed to a
combination of flt3-ligand, Steel factor, interleukin-3, interleukin-6,
and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor. These findings provide the
first direct and definitive evidence of a deeply but reversibly
quiescent subpopulation of leukemic cells in patients with CML with
both in vitro and in vivo stem cell properties.
