Self-renewal capacity of leukemic blast progenitor cells. 1981

R N Buick, and L J Chang, and H A Messner, and J E Curtis, and E A McCulloch

A review is presented of experimental information pertaining to the characteristics of a procedure designed to quantitate the capacity for self-renewal in clonogenic cells of human acute myeloblastic leukemia. In a series of 44 previously untreated patients, a significant correlation (p less than 0.01) was seen between low capacity for self-renewal and successful remission induction. Three cytotoxic drugs (Adriamycin, 1-beta-D-arabinofuranosylcytosine, and N-[4-(19-acridinylamino)-3-methoxyphenyl]-methanesulfonamide) were tested for preferential effect against self-renewal events. Surviving clonogenic cells to these agents had, respectively, unchanged, lower, and higher capacity for self-renewal. The implications of such drug properties are discussed.

D002999 Clone Cells A group of genetically identical cells all descended from a single common ancestral cell by mitosis in eukaryotes or by binary fission in prokaryotes. Clone cells also include populations of recombinant DNA molecules all carrying the same inserted sequence.

D003561 Cytarabine A pyrimidine nucleoside analog that is used mainly in the treatment of leukemia, especially acute non-lymphoblastic leukemia. Cytarabine is an antimetabolite antineoplastic agent that inhibits the synthesis of DNA. Its actions are specific for the S phase of the cell cycle. It also has antiviral and immunosuppressant properties.
