Myeloproliferation, myelofibrosis and neo-angiogenesis are the three major intrinsic pathophysiological features of Myeloid Metaplasia with Myelofibrosis (MMM). The myeloproliferation is characterized by an increased number of circulating CD34+ progenitors with the prominent amplification of dystrophic megakaryocytic (MK) cells and myeloid metaplasia in the spleen and liver. The various biological activities of IL-8 in haematopoietic progenitor proliferation and mobilisation as well as in neoangiogenesis prompted us to analyse its potential role in MMM. We showed that the level of IL8 chemokine is significantly increased in the serum of patients and that various hematopoietic cells including platelets participate in its production. In vitro inhibition of autocrine IL-8 expressed by CD34+ cells with either a neutralising or an antisense anti-IL-8 treatment increases the proliferation of MMM CD34+ derived cells and stimulates their MK differentiation. Moreover, addition of neutralising anti-IL-8 receptor (CXCR1 or CXCR2) antibodies to MMM CD34+ cells cultured under MK liquid culture conditions increases the proliferation and differentiation of MMM CD41+ MK cells and restores their polyploidization. Our results suggest that IL-8 and its receptors participate in the altered MK growth that features MMM and open new therapeutic prospects for this still incurable disease.
