Primary Myeloma Cells Growing in SCID-hu Mice: A Model for
Studying the Biology and Treatment of Myeloma and Its
Manifestations
Shmuel Yaccoby,
Bart Barlogie, and
Joshua Epstein
From the Myeloma and Transplantation Research Center, Arkansas Cancer
Research Center, University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, Little
Rock, AR.
Progress in unraveling the biology of myeloma has suffered from lack
of an in vitro or in vivo system for reproducible growth of myeloma
cells and development of disease manifestations. The SCID-hu mouse
harbors a human microenvironment in the form of human fetal bone.
Myeloma cells from the bone marrow of 80% of patients readily grew in
the human environment of SCID-hu mice. Engraftment of myeloma cells was
followed by detectable human Ig levels in the murine blood.
Myeloma-bearing mice had high levels of monotypic human Igs, high blood
calcium levels, increased osteoclast activity, and severe resorption of
the human bones. The human microenvironment was infiltrated with
Epstein-Barr virus-negative monoclonal myeloma cells of the same
clonality as the original myeloma cells. Active angiogenesis was
apparent in areas of myeloma cell infiltration; the new endothelial
cells were of human origin. We conclude that the SCID-hu mouse is a
favorable host for studying the biology and therapy of myeloma and that
a normal bone marrow environment can support the growth of myeloma
cells.
