A novel cell line, FLK-1, was established from bone marrow cells of a patient with follicular lymphoma by means of co-culture with follicular dendritic cell (FDC)-like cell line HK. Immunophenotypic analysis showed that FLK-1 expressed CD10, CD19, CD20, CD38, IgG and HLA-DR, which is a typical feature of germinal center B cells. Cytogenetic analysis of FLK-1 demonstrated t(14;18)(q32;q21) translocation involving BCL2 and immunoglobulin heavy chain genes. Especially noteworthy is that the growth of FLK-1 was found to be dependent on a FDC line, HK. When HK cells were removed from the culture, FLK-1 cells stopped growing and eventually died. An apoptotic mechanism appeared to be involved as indicated by the presence of chromosome condensation and DNA ladder formation. The culture experiment using micropore membranes showed that soluble factor(s) of HK cells supported the growth, while direct cell-to-cell contact appeared to be necessary for longterm cell proliferation. These findings suggest the importance of the micro-environment for follicular lymphoma cells to grow. The FLK-1 cell line may thus prove to be useful for studying the growth mechanism of follicular lymphoma and provide new insights into the pathogenesis of follicular lymphoma.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008224 Lymphoma, Follicular Malignant lymphoma in which the lymphomatous cells are clustered into identifiable nodules within the LYMPH NODES. The nodules resemble to some extent the GERMINAL CENTER of lymph node follicles and most likely represent neoplastic proliferation of lymph node-derived follicular center B-LYMPHOCYTES.

D020566 Dendritic Cells, Follicular Non-hematopoietic cells, with extensive dendritic processes, found in the primary and secondary follicles of lymphoid tissue (the B cell zones). They are different from conventional DENDRITIC CELLS associated with T-CELLS. They are derived from MESENCHYMAL STEM CELLS and are negative for class II MHC antigen and do not process or present antigen like the conventional dendritic cells do. Instead, follicular dendritic cells have FC RECEPTORS and C3B RECEPTORS that hold antigen in the form of ANTIGEN-ANTIBODY COMPLEXES on their surfaces for long periods for recognition by B-CELLS.
