We have previously reported that primitive normal hematopoietic cells detectable as long-term culture-initiating cells (Ph-LTC-IC) are present at high levels in the blood of some patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). We now show that this population can be expanded several-fold when highly purified CD34+CD38- cells isolated from the blood of such patients are cultured for 10 days in a serum-free medium containing 100 ng/mL of Flt3-ligand and Steel factor and 20 ng/mL of interleukin-3 (IL-3) and IL-6, and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor. In similar cultures initiated with CD34+CD38- cells from CML blood samples in which all of the LTC-IC were leukemic (Ph+), Ph+ LTC-IC activity was rapidly lost both in the presence and absence of admixed CD34+CD38- cells isolated from normal marrow. Conversely, the ability of normal LTC-IC to expand their numbers was shown to be independent of the presence of Ph+LTC-IC and later types of Ph+colony-forming cell (CFC) progenitors. In contrast to the LTC-IC, CFC were consistently amplified in cultures initiated with CML-derived CD34+CD38- cells and the additional CFC present after 10 days were, like the starting population of CFC, almost exclusively Ph+ regardless of the genotype(s) of the LTC-IC in the original CML samples. Amplification of the Ph+CFC population in these cultures showed the same factor dependence as previously demonstrated for the in vitro expansion of CFC from normal marrow CD34+CD38- cells. Ph+LTC-IC disappeared regardless of the cytokines present. Taken together these findings support a model of CML in which the leukemic stem cells are characterized by a decreased probability of self-renewal and an increased probability of differentiation. In addition, they suggest new opportunities for improving the treatment of CML using strategies that require autologous stem cell rescue.

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.
