In acute myeloid leukemia (AML), granulocyte colony-stimulating
factor receptor (G-CSFR) proliferative and maturational signaling pathways are uncoupled. Seven human G-CSFR mRNA isoforms exist, named
class I through class VII. The 183-amino acid cytosolic domain of the
class I isoform provides all signaling activities. The class IV isoform
is "differentiation defective" because the carboxy-terminal 87 amino acids are replaced with 34 amino acids of novel sequence. In more
than 50% of AML samples, the class IV/class I G-CSFR mRNA ratio is
aberrantly elevated compared to normal CD34+ bone marrow
cells. We hypothesized that the increased relative expression of class
IV G-CSFR in AML uncouples proliferative and maturational G-CSFR
signaling pathways. To test this, we transfected the G-CSF-responsive
murine cell line 32Dcl3 with class IV G-CSFR cDNA. After 10 days of
G-CSF stimulation, clones expressing class IV G-CSFR had greater
percentages of myeloblasts and promyelocytes than controls
(53% ± 13% versus 3% ± 2%). Differential counts over time
demonstrated delayed G-CSF-driven maturation in 5 class IV-expressing
clones, with 2 clones demonstrating a subpopulation that completely
failed to differentiate. Heterologous class IV expression did not
affect G-CSF-dependent proliferation. Class IV/murine G-CSFR mRNA
ratios after 24 hours of G-CSF stimulation for 3 of the 5 clones
(range, 0.090 to 0.245; mean, 0.152 ± 0.055) are within the range
of class IV/class I mRNA ratios seen in patients with AML. This
indicates that aberrantly increased relative class IV G-CSFR expression
seen in AML can uncouple G-CSFR proliferative and maturational
signaling pathways.
