Ob-R receptor is encoded by db gene and belongs to class I cytokine receptors family. Its expression was observed in hematopoietic CD34+ stem cells, erythropoietic, myeloid and lymphoblastic lineages cell lines and in human leukemic blast cells in lymphomas, acute myeloid leukemia (AML), acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), and chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). The studies on human bone marrow cells show that JAK/STAT pathway plays a substantial role in signal transduction in young bone marrow cells. The aim of the study was to examine the relationship between leptin receptor expression and the proliferation of neoplastic hematopoietic cells in bone marrow. The study was performed in a total of 57 children of both sexes aged 3 months to 16 years. A group of 46 patients with acute leukemia involved 25 children with ALLB, 11 children with ALLT and 10 children with ANNL. The control group consisted of 11 non-obese children with non-malignant hematological disturbances. The tests were performed on bone marrow samples. The assessments of membrane expression of Ob-R and the antigens determining the phenotype of bone marrow cells were performed using a flow cytometry method. In acute lymphoblastic leukemia, a significant decrease of Ob-R expression on leukemic blasts was observed in comparison with respective populations of normal bone marrow cells. Also in progenitor cells populations a significant decrease of CD34+Ob-R+w ALLT and ALLB was observed in comparison with the cells from normal bone marrow. No statistically significant differences in the percentage of Ob-R+ cells in ANNL bone marrow and in control bone marrow were observed.

D015464 Leukemia, Myelogenous, Chronic, BCR-ABL Positive Clonal hematopoetic disorder caused by an acquired genetic defect in PLURIPOTENT STEM CELLS. It starts in MYELOID CELLS of the bone marrow, invades the blood and then other organs. The condition progresses from a stable, more indolent, chronic phase (LEUKEMIA, MYELOID, CHRONIC PHASE) lasting up to 7 years, to an advanced phase composed of an accelerated phase (LEUKEMIA, MYELOID, ACCELERATED PHASE) and BLAST CRISIS.
