Abstract
SLAMF1/CD150 receptor is a founder of signaling lymphocyte activation molecule (SLAM) family of cell-surface receptors. It is widely expressed on cells within hematopoietic system. In hematologic malignancies CD150 cell surface expression is restricted to cutaneous T-cell lymphomas, few types of B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, near half of cases of chronic lymphocytic leukemia, Hodgkin's lymphoma, and multiple myeloma. Differential expression among various types of hematological malignancies allows considering CD150 as diagnostical and potential prognostic marker. Moreover, CD150 may be a target for antibody-based or measles virus oncolytic therapy. Due to CD150 signaling properties it is involved in regulation of malignant cell fate decision and tumor microenvironment in Hodgkin's lymphoma and chronic lymphocytic leukemia. This review summarizes evidence for the important role of CD150 in pathogenesis of hematologic malignancies.

Abstract
Ineffective erythropoiesis plays a well established role in the pathophysiology of disease expression in β-thalassemia major and intermedia. CD177 expression was investigated in different clinical conditions. The study aimed to analyze neutrophil expression of CD177 in β-thalassemia patients and its correlation with serum soluble transferrin receptor (s-TfR) concentration as a marker for the extent of erythropoiesis and hence disease severity in these patients. Flow cytometric analysis of neutrophil CD177 expression and enzyme immunoassay measurement of serum s-TfR concentration were assessed in 45 β-thalassemia patients of whom 36 had β-thalassemia major and nine had β-thalassemia intermedia. They were also assessed in 21 age- and gender-matched control children. Neutrophil mean fluorescence intensity ratio (MFIR) of CD177 expression was significantly higher in patients than in controls (p < 0.001). There was highly significant increase in serum s-TfR concentration in β-thalassemia patients than in controls (p < 0.001). There was a highly significant positive correlation between MFIR of CD177 expression and serum s-TfR concentration in β-thalassemia patients (r = 0.59, p < 0.001). Elevated CD177 expression is not only a specific feature of polycythemia rubra vera (PV) but may be also an indicator of increased erythropoietic activity in thalassemia syndromes.

Abstract
Bone marrow examination has become increasingly important for the diagnosis and treatment of hematologic and other illnesses. Morphologic evaluation of the bone marrow aspirate and biopsy has recently been supplemented by increasingly sophisticated ancillary assays, including immunocytochemistry, cytogenetic analysis, flow cytometry, and molecular assays. With our rapidly expanding knowledge of the clinical and biologic diversity of leukemia and other hematologic neoplasms, and an increasing variety of therapeutic options, the bone marrow examination has became more critical for therapeutic monitoring and planning optimal therapy. Sensitive molecular techniques, in vitro drug sensitivity testing, and a number of other special assays are available to provide valuable data to assist these endeavors. Fortunately, improvements in bone marrow aspirate and needle technology has made the procurement of adequate specimens more reliable and efficient, while the use of conscious sedation has improved patient comfort. The procurement of bone marrow specimens was reviewed in the first part of this series. This paper specifically addresses the diagnostic interpretation of bone marrow specimens and the use of ancillary techniques.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The abundance of monoclonal antibodies (mAb) and the routine use of quadruple stainings in flow cytometry allow stepwise analysis of bone marrow (BM) samples that are suspected for abnormal hematopoiesis. A screening phase that precedes lineage-specific classification phases should be sufficient to assess whether the BM has a normal or abnormal composition, as well as to identify the abnormal differentiation lineage. METHODS For a quick and easy flow cytometric screening of BM samples, we selected six quadruple immunostainings that cover multiple differentiation stages of the B-cell, monocytic, granulocytic, and erythroid lineages: TdT/CD20/CD19/CD10 and CD45/CD34/CD19/CD22 for B cells, CD34/CD117/CD45/CD13.33 for precursor granulocytic and precursor monocytic cells (myelo/monoblasts), CD14/CD33/CD45/CD34 for monocytic cells, CD16/CD13/CD45/CD11b for granulocytic cells, and CD71/CD235a/CD45/CD117 for erythroid cells. RESULTS The six quadruple immunostainings reveal specific staining patterns in normal BM, which allow the recognition of various subpopulations of the respective lineages. These staining patterns can be used as a frame of reference for recognition of normal and abnormal BM development. Examples of normal (age-related) variations in these otherwise stable staining patterns are presented together with several abnormal differentiation patterns. CONCLUSIONS Although alternative immunostainings can be used (e.g., including NK- and T-cell markers), we feel that the selected six stainings represent a comprehensive and easy screening phase for quick identification of shifts in the composition of the studied differentiation lineages, reflecting age-related changes or disease-induced BM abnormalities.

Abstract
Abstract
Growth and survival of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) B cells are favored by interactions between CLL and nontumoral accessory cells. CLL cells express CXCR4 chemokine receptors that direct leukemia cell chemotaxis. Marrow stromal cells or nurselike cells constitutively secrete CXCL12, the ligand for CXCR4, thereby attracting and rescuing CLL B cells from apoptosis in a contact-dependent fashion. Therefore, the CXCR4-CXCL12 axis represents a potential therapeutic target in CLL. We evaluated the most active CXCR4-specific antagonists (T140, TC14012, TN14003) for their capacity to inhibit CXCL12 responses in CLL cells. T140, or its analogs, inhibited actin polymerization, chemotaxis, and migration of CLL cells beneath stromal cells. CXCL12-induced phosphorylation of p44/42 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) was abolished by CXCR4 antagonists. TC14012 and TN14003 antagonized the antiapoptotic effect of synthetic CXCL12 and stromal cell-mediated protection of CLL cells from spontaneous apoptosis. Furthermore, we found that stromal cells protected CLL cells from chemotherapy-induced apoptosis. Treatment with CXCR4 antagonists resensitized CLL cells cultured with stromal cells to fludarabine-induced apoptosis. These findings demonstrate that CXCR4 blocking agents effectively antagonize CXCL12-induced migratory and signaling responses and stromal protection of CLL cells from spontaneous or fludarabine-induced apoptosis. As such, small molecular CXCR4 antagonists may have activity in the treatment of patients with this disease. (Blood. 2005;106:1824-1830)

Abstract
Abstract
Despite intensive chemotherapy and surgery treatment, lung and bone metastasis develop in about 30% of patients with osteosarcoma. Mechanisms for this preferential metastatic behavior are largely unknown. We investigated the role of the chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4)/stromal cell–derived factor 1 (SDF-1) system to drive the homing of osteosarcoma cells. We analyzed the expression of the CXCR4 and SDF-1 proteins on several osteosarcoma cell lines and the effects of SDF-1 on migration, adhesion, and proliferation of these cancer cells. In vitro assays showed that the migration of osteosarcoma cells expressing CXCR4 receptor follows an SDF-1 gradient and that their adhesion to endothelial and bone marrow stromal cells is promoted by SDF-1 treatment. Moreover, the production of matrix metalloproteinase-9 is increased after SDF-1 exposure. We finally proved in a mouse model our hypothesis of the CXCR4/SDF-1 axis involvement in the metastatic process of osteosarcoma cells. Development of lung metastasis after injection of osteosarcoma cells was prevented by the administration of a CXCR4 inhibitor, the T134 peptide. These data show a possible explanation for the preferential osteosarcoma metastatic development into the lung, where SDF-1 concentration is high, and suggest that molecular strategies aimed at inhibiting the CXCR4/SDF-1 pathway, such as small-molecule inhibitors or anti-CXCR4 antibodies, might prevent the dissemination of osteosarcoma cells.

Abstract
The carbohydrate parts of cell surface glycoproteins, glycolipids, and proteoglycans constitute receptors for many enveloped as well as non-enveloped human viruses. The majority of viral receptors of carbohydrate nature are negatively charged, including sulfated glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) or glycans containing sialic acid. Not uncommonly, virus-carbohydrate interactions are responsible for specific tissue tropism, where the affinity of influenza virus for glycans in the respiratory tract containing (a2-6)-linked sialic acid is an important example. Similarly, the number and spacing of sulfates may guide viruses to optimal GAG molecules, although this remains unproven on tissue level. A further understanding of structure and tissue distribution of carbohydrate virus receptors and their viral ligands is essential for elucidating the pathogenesis of such viruses. Also neutral glycans such as histo-blood group substances may function as virus receptors. Here, natural resistance to a given viral disease may occur in a human subpopulation due to lack of such receptors caused by deletion-mutants in critical human genes. As regards antiviral applications, the receptor-destroying enzymes, in contrast to receptor binding proteins, at the surface of, for example, influenza virus have proven to be an excellent target for intervention, which is why sialic acid analogues are now in clinical use both for prophylaxis and treatment.

Abstract
Infectious salmon anemia virus (ISAV) is the causative agent of infections in farmed Atlantic salmon. ISAV presumably represents a new genus within the Orthomyxoviridae. ISAV has been shown earlier to exhibit a receptor-destroying activity, which was defined as an acetylesterase with unknown specificity. We have analyzed the substrate specificity of the ISAV esterase in detail. Purified ISAV hydrolyzed free 5-N-acetyl-4-O-acetyl neuraminic acid. In addition, the purified 9-O-acetylated sialic acid derivative was also hydrolyzed, but at lower rates. When we used a glycosidically bound substrate, ISAV was unable to hydrolyze 9-O-acetylated sialic acid, which represents the major substrate for the influenza C virus esterase. ISAV completely de-O-acetylated glycoprotein-bound 5-N-acetyl-4-O-acetyl neuraminic acid. Thus, the enzymatic activity of the hemagglutinin-esterase of ISAV is comparable to that of the sialate-4-O-esterases of murine coronaviruses and related group 2 coronaviruses. In addition, we found that ISAV specifically binds to glycoproteins containing 4-O-acetylated sialic acids. Both the ISAV esterase and recombinant rat coronavirus esterase specific for 4-O-acetylated sialic acids hydrolyzed ISAV receptors on horse and rabbit erythrocytes, indicating that this sialic acid represents a receptor determinant for ISAV.

Abstract
Viral O-acetylesterases were first identified in several viruses, including influenza C viruses and coronaviruses. These enzymes are capable of removing cellular receptors from the surface of target cells. Hence they are also known as "receptor destroying" enzymes. We have cloned and expressed several recombinant viral O-acetylesterases. These enzymes were secreted from Sf9 insect cells as chimeric proteins fused to eGFP. A purification scheme to isolate the recombinant O-acetylesterase of influenza C virus was developed. The recombinant enzymes derived from influenza C viruses specifically hydrolyze 9-O-acetylated sialic acids, while that of sialodacryoadenitis virus, a rat coronavirus related to mouse hepatitis virus, is specific for 4-O-acetylated sialic acid. The recombinant esterases were shown to specifically de-O-acetylate sialic acids on glycoconjugates. We have also expressed esterase knockout proteins of the influenza C virus hemagglutinin-esterase. The recombinant viral proteins can be used to unambiguously identify O-acetylated acids in a variety of assays.

Abstract
Small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) is an aggressive, rapidly metastasizing neoplasm. The chemokine stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1/CXCL12) is constitutively secreted by marrow stromal cells and plays a key role for homing of hematopoietic cells to the marrow. Here, we report that tumor cells from patients with SCLC express high levels of functional CXCR4 receptors for the chemokine CXCL12. Reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction and flow cytometry demonstrated CXCR4 mRNA and CXCR4 surface expression in SCLC cell lines. Immunohistochemistry of primary tumor samples from SCLC patients revealed high expression of CXCR4. CXCL12 elicited CXCR4 receptor endocytosis, actin polymerization, and a robust activation of phospho-p44/42 mitogen-activated protein kinase in SCLC cells. Furthermore, CXCL12 induced SCLC cell invasion into extracellular matrix and firm adhesion to marrow stromal cells. Stromal cell adhesion of SCLC cells was significantly inhibited by the specific CXCR4 antagonist T140, pertussis toxin, antivascular cell adhesion molecule-1(VCAM-1) antibodies, and CS-1 peptide, demonstrating the importance of CXCR4 chemokine receptor activation and alpha4beta1 integrin binding, respectively. In addition, CXCL12 enhanced the adhesion of SCLC cells to immobilized VCAM-1, demonstrating that CXCR4 chemokine receptors can induce integrin activation on SCLC cells. As SCLC has a high propensity for bone marrow involvement, our findings suggest that CXCR4 chemokine receptors and alpha4beta1 integrins play a critical role in the interaction of SCLC cells with stromal cells in the tumor microenvironment.

Abstract
The overall degree of complexity of the T cell surface has been unclear, constraining our understanding of its biology. Using global gene expression analysis, we show that 111 of 374 genes encoding well-characterized leukocyte surface antigens are expressed by a resting cytotoxic T cell. Unexpectedly, of 97 stringently defined, T cell-specific transcripts with unknown functions that we identify, none encode proteins with the modular architecture characteristic of 80% of leukocyte surface antigens. Only two encode proteins with membrane topologies found exclusively in cell surface molecules. Our analysis indicates that the cell type-specific composition of the resting CD8+ T cell surface is now largely defined, providing an insight into the overall compositional complexity of the mammalian cell surface and a framework for formulating systematic models of T cell surface-dependent processes, such as T cell receptor triggering.

Abstract
Marrow stromal cells play an important role in regulating the development and proliferation of haematopoietic stem cells (HSC) within the marrow microenvironment. However, the molecular mechanisms of stem cell-stromal cell interactions are not fully understood. We observed that mobilized peripheral blood and cord-blood-derived CD34+ progenitor cells, or CD34+ acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) cells spontaneously migrated beneath marrow stromal cells, an in vitro migration phenomenon termed pseudoemperipolesis. In contrast, the CD34+ myeloid leukaemia cell line, Kasumi-1, did not display pseudoemperipolesis. Cord blood CD34+ cells had a higher capacity than granulocyte-colony-stimulating-factor-mobilized CD34+ cells for pseudoemperipolesis (28.7 +/- 12%vs 18.1 +/- 6.1% of input cells within 24 h, mean +/- SD, n = 8), whereas 9.4 +/- 12.6% (mean +/- SD, n = 10) of input AML cells displayed this phenomenon. Pseudoemperipolesis of CD34+ progenitor and AML cells was significantly inhibited by pertussis toxin and antibodies to the CXCR4 chemokine receptor (CXCR4, CD184), but not control antibodies. Moreover, CD34+ and AML cell migration was significantly inhibited by a CS1 peptide that blocks alpha4beta1 integrin binding, but not by a control peptide, in which the fibronectin binding motif was scrambled. Pseudoemperipolesis was associated with an increased proliferation of migrated CD34+ progenitor cells but not AML cells within the stromal layer, demonstrated by cell cycle analysis and cell division tracking. We conclude that alpha4beta1 integrin binding and CXCR4 chemokine receptor activation are prerequisites for the migration of CD34+ haematopoietic progenitors and AML cells beneath marrow stromal cells. These observations suggest a central role of marrow stromal cells for HSC trafficking and homing within the marrow microenvironment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The expression of human neutrophil antigen-2a (HNA-2a) or NB1 is highly variable. This study investigated variations in neutrophil expression of HNA-2a by comparing the expression of epitopes recognized by three HNA-2a-specific CD177 antibodies among healthy adults and pregnant women. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS Flow cytometry was used to compare the neutrophil reactions of three CD177 antibodies (MEM-166, TAG4, and 7D8) among 52 healthy adults. Because HNA-2a expression is greater in women than men, neutrophils were studied from 21 women early in pregnancy and 23 women late in pregnancy. RESULTS All three CD177 antibodies reacted with two populations of neutrophils: a brightly staining population and a dimly staining population. Among the 52 healthy adults, there was no difference in the mean size of the brightly reactive population of neutrophils recognized by each antibody (46 +/- 23% for MEM-166, 49 +/- 23% for TAG4, and 49 +/- 23% for 7D8), and all three antibodies were specific for HNA-2a. For all three antibodies the size of the antigen bright neutrophil population was greater on neutrophils collected both early and late in pregnancy than in healthy adults. There was no difference in the size of the antigen bright population among neutrophils tested early and late in pregnancy. CONCLUSION HNA-2a antigen expression increases in pregnancy. Some of the variations in neutrophil expression of HNA-2a among individuals is likely due to differences in gene regulation or differences in post-translational protein modifications rather than gene polymorphisms.
