A subset of blood cells from patients with B-cell chronic
lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) spontaneously differentiates in vitro into
large, round, or fibroblast-like adherent cells that display stromal
cell markers, namely vimentin and STRO-1. These cells also express
stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1), a CXC chemokine that ordinarily
is secreted by marrow stromal cells. Leukemia B cells attach to these
blood-derived adherent cells, down-modulate their receptors for
SDF-1 (CXCR4), and are protected from undergoing spontaneous apoptosis
in vitro. Neutralizing antibodies to SDF-1 inhibit this effect.
Moreover, the rapid deterioration in the survival of CLL B cells, when
separated from such cells, is mitigated by exogenous SDF-1. This
chemokine also results in the rapid down-modulation of CXCR4 and
activation of p44/42 mitogen-activated protein-kinase (ERK 1/2) by CLL
B cells in vitro. It is concluded that the blood of patients with CLL
contains cells that can differentiate into adherent nurse-like cells
that protect leukemia cells from undergoing spontaneous apoptosis
through an SDF-1-dependent mechanism. In addition to its recently
recognized role in CLL B-cell migration, SDF-1-mediated CLL B-cell
activation has to be considered a new mechanism involved in the
microenvironmental regulation of CLL B-cell survival.
