Apoptosis or plasma cell differentiation of CD38-positive B-chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells induced by cross-linking of surface IgM or IgD

From Servizio di Immunologia Clinica, Istituto Nazionale per la Ricerca sul Cancro; Dipartimento di Oncologia, Biologia e Genetica, Università degli Studi di Genova; Unità Anticorpi Monoclonali, Advanced Biotechnology Center, Genoa, Italy; and Instituto Biologia e Genetica, Università di Amcona, Italy.

Previously, we demonstrated that B-chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) cells could be divided into 2 groups depending on the expression of CD38 by the malignant cells. The 2 groups differed in their signal-transducing capacities initiated by cross-linking of surface IgM; only in CD38-positive cells was an efficient signal delivered, invariably resulting in cell apoptosis. In this study, we investigated the effect of surface IgD cross-linking in 10 patients with CD38-positive B-CLL. Exposure of the malignant cells to goat antihuman delta -chain antibodies (Gadelta -ab) caused [Ca++]i mobilization and tyrosine kinase phosphorylation in a manner not different from that observed after goat antihuman µ-chain antibody (Gaµ-ab) treatment in vitro. However, Gadelta -ab-treated cells failed to undergo apoptosis and instead displayed prolonged survival in culture and differentiated into plasma cells when rIL2 was concomitantly present. Cross-linking of surface IgD failed to induce proliferation of the malignant cells in vitro. Moreover, treatment with Gadelta -ab did not prevent apoptosis of B-CLL cells induced by Gaµ-ab. Collectively, these experiments demonstrated that IgM and IgD expressed by the same cell may deliver opposite signals under particular circumstances and provide some clues for the understanding of the pathophysiology of B-CLL.
