Abstract
Aims The aim of this study was to compare the actual cost of a cemented and cementless total knee arthroplasty (TKA) procedure. Materials and Methods The cost of operative time, implants, cement, and cementing accessories were included in the overall cost of the TKA procedure. Operative time was determined from a previously published study comparing cemented and cementless implants of the same design. The cost of operative time, implants, cement, and cementing accessories was determined from market and institutional data. Results Mean operative time for cemented TKA was 11.6 minutes longer for cemented TKA than cementless TKA (93.7 minutes (sd 16.7) vs 82.1 minutes (sd 16.6); p = 0.001). Using a conservative published standard of $36 per minute for operating theatre time cost, the total time cost was $418 higher for cementing TKA. The cost of cement and accessories ranged from $170 to $625. Overall, the calculated cost of cemented TKA is $588 to $1043, depending on technique. The general increased charge for cementless TKA implants over cemented TKA implants was $366. Conclusion The overall procedural cost of implanting a cementless TKA is less than implanting a cemented TKA. Cost alone should not be a barrier to using cementless TKA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE There are variable reports of risk of concordance for progression to islet autoantibodies and type 1 diabetes in identical twins after one twin is diagnosed. We examined development of positive autoantibodies and type 1 diabetes and the effects of genetic factors and common environment on autoantibody positivity in identical twins, nonidentical twins, and full siblings. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Subjects from the TrialNet Pathway to Prevention Study (N = 48,026) were screened from 2004 to 2015 for islet autoantibodies (GAD antibody [GADA], insulinoma-associated antigen 2 [IA-2A], and autoantibodies against insulin [IAA]). Of these subjects, 17,226 (157 identical twins, 283 nonidentical twins, and 16,786 full siblings) were followed for autoantibody positivity or type 1 diabetes for a median of 2.1 years. RESULTS At screening, identical twins were more likely to have positive GADA, IA-2A, and IAA than nonidentical twins or full siblings (all P < 0.0001). Younger age, male sex, and genetic factors were significant factors for expression of IA-2A, IAA, one or more positive autoantibodies, and two or more positive autoantibodies (all P ≤ 0.03). Initially autoantibody-positive identical twins had a 69% risk of diabetes by 3 years compared with 1.5% for initially autoantibody-negative identical twins. In nonidentical twins, type 1 diabetes risk by 3 years was 72% for initially multiple autoantibody-positive, 13% for single autoantibody-positive, and 0% for initially autoantibody-negative nonidentical twins. Full siblings had a 3-year type 1 diabetes risk of 47% for multiple autoantibody-positive, 12% for single autoantibody-positive, and 0.5% for initially autoantibody-negative subjects. CONCLUSIONS Risk of type 1 diabetes at 3 years is high for initially multiple and single autoantibody-positive identical twins and multiple autoantibody-positive nonidentical twins. Genetic predisposition, age, and male sex are significant risk factors for development of positive autoantibodies in twins.

Abstract
In excess of 90% of patients with polycythaemia vera (PV) express a mutated form of Janus kinase 2 (JAK2), JAK2V617F. Such aberrant proteins offer great potential for the treatment of these diseases; however, inhibitors to JAK2 have had limited success in the clinic in terms of curing the disease. To understand the effects of this oncogene in haematopoietic cells with the aim of improving treatment strategies, we undertook a systematic evaluation of the effects of JAK2V617F expression using proteomics. The effects of JAK2V617F on over 5000 proteins and 2000 nuclear phosphopeptide sites were relatively quantified using either SILAC or eight-channel iTRAQ mass spectrometry. Pathway analysis of the proteins identified as changing indicated disruption to the p53 and MYC signalling pathways. These changes were confirmed using orthogonal approaches. The insight gained from this proteomic analysis led to the formation of hypothesis-driven analysis on inhibitor-mediated effects on primary cells from patients with a JAK2V617F mutation. Simultaneous inhibition of MYC and upregulation of p53 led to the preferential extinction of JAK2V617F-positive CD34+ cells, illustrating a potential therapeutic benefit from combined targeting of p53 and MYC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Validated targeted therapy is currently unavailable for patients with invasive breast cancer negative for oestrogen receptors, progesterone receptors and HER2 [i.e., those with triple-negative (TN) disease]. ADAM-17 is a protease involved in the activations of several ligands that bind to and promotes intracellular signalling from the EGFR/HER family of receptors. PATIENTS AND METHODS Expression of ADAM-17 was measured in 86 triple-negative and 96 non-triple-negative breast cancers. The ADAM-17 specific inhibitor, PF-5480090 (TMI-002, Pfizer) was tested in a panel of breast cancer cell lines for effects on functional outputs. RESULTS In this study we show using both Western blotting and immunohistochemistry that ADAM-17 is expressed at significantly higher levels in TN than non-TN breast cancers. Using a panel of breast cancer cell lines in culture, PF-5480090 was found to decrease release of the EGFR ligand, TGF-alpha, decrease levels of phosphorylated EGFR and block cell proliferation in a cell-type-dependent manner. Potentially important was the finding of a significant and moderately strong correlation between ADAM-17 activity and extent of proliferation inhibition by PF-5480090 (r = 0.809; p = 0.003; n = 11). Pretreatment of cell lines with PF-5480090 enhanced response to several different cytotoxic and anti-EGFR/HER agents. CONCLUSION It is concluded that inhibition of ADAM-17, especially in combination with chemotherapy or anti-EGFR/HER inhibitors, may be a new approach for treating breast cancer, including patients with TN disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Selective deletion of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) 1 and ERK2 in the pituitary gonadotrope and ovarian granulosa cells disrupts female reproductive axis function. Thus, we asked if ERK1 and ERK2 are critical for GnRH neuron ontogeny or the central control of female reproductive function. METHODS GnRH-Cre-recombinase (Cre+) expressing mice were crossed with mice with a global deletion of ERK1 and a floxed ERK2 allele (Erk1-/Erk2fl/fl) to selectively delete ERK2 in GnRH neurons. RESULTS Cre-recombinase mRNA was selectively expressed in the brain of Cre+ mice. GnRH neuron number and location were determined during embryogenesis and in the adult. GnRH neuron counts at E15 did not differ between experimental and control groups (1,198 ± 65 and 1,160 ± 80 respectively, p = NS). In adults, numbers of GnRH neurons in the GnRHCre+Erk1-/Erk2- mice (741 ± 157) were similar to those in controls (756 ± 7), without alteration in their distribution across the forebrain. ERK1 and 2 deficiency did not alter the timing of vaginal opening, age at first estrus, or estrous cyclicity. CONCLUSIONS Although ERK1 and 2 are components of a dominant signaling pathway in GnRH neuronal cells that modulates survival and control of GnRH gene expression, other signaling pathways compensate for their deletion in vivo to allow GnRH neuron survival and targeting and normal onset of female sexual maturation and reproductive function. In contrast to effects at the pituitary and the ovary, ERK1 and ERK2 are dispensable at the level of the GnRH neuron.

Abstract
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is defined by the absence of estrogen receptors (ER), progesterone receptors (PR) and overexpression of HER2. Targeted therapy is currently unavailable for this subgroup of breast cancer patients. mTOR controls cancer cell growth, survival and invasion and is thus a potential target for the treatment of patients with TNBC. Using immunohistochemistry, mTOR and p-mTOR were measured in 89 TNBCs and 99 non-TNBCs. While mTOR expression was confined to tumor cell cytoplasm, p-mTOR staining was located in the nucleus, perinuclear area and in the cytoplasm. Potentially important, was our finding that nuclear p-mTOR was found more frequently in triple-negative than non triple-negative cancers (p < 0.001). These results suggest that mTOR may play a more important role in the progression of TNBC compared to non-TNBC. Based on these findings, we conclude that mTOR may be a new target for the treatment of triple-negative breast cancer.

Abstract
Objective proteomic analysis offers opportunities for hypothesis generation on molecular events associated with pathogenesis in stem cells. Relative quantification mass spectrometry was employed to identify pathways affected by Tel/PDGFRβ, an oncogene associated with myeloproliferative neoplasia (MPN). Its effects on over 1800 proteins were quantified with high confidence. Of those up-regulated by Tel/PDGFRβ several were involved in the interferon gamma (IFNγ) response. To validate these observations we employed embryonic and myeloid stem cells models which revealed Tel/PDGFRβ-induced STAT1 up-regulation and activation was responsible for modulating the interferon response. A STAT1 target highly up-regulated was ICSBP, a transcriptional regulator of myeloid and eosinophilic differentiation. ICSBP interacts with CBP/p300 and Ets transcription factors, to promote transcription of additional genes, including the Egr family, key regulators of myelopoiesis. These interferon responses were recapitulated using IFNγ stimulation of stem cells. Thus Tel/PDGFRβ induces aberrant IFN signaling and downstream targets, which may ultimately impact the hematopoietic transcriptional factor network to bias myelomonocytic differentiation in this MPN.

Abstract
AIM Assessment of intra- and inter-laboratory variation in multi-centre real-time reverse-transcribed PCR (qRT-PCR)-based mRNA quantification of a prognostic marker in breast cancer using external quality assurance (EQA). METHODS A questionnaire on the methodologies used and EQA calibrators were sent to 5 participating laboratories from 4 European countries, which measured mRNA levels of PITX2 splice variants and reference genes by qRT-PCR. RESULTS Differences in the methodology included PCR quantification methodology and equipment, RNA extraction and cDNA synthesis procedures. The intra-laboratory coefficient of variation (CV) ranged from 5 to 23%, and the inter-laboratory CV ranged from 17 to 30%. The inter-laboratory CV was reduced to 13% by using prediluted calibrators and by harmonising the data in the central QA laboratory. Additional normalisation using reference genes did not decrease the variation further. CONCLUSIONS Both externally provided calibrators and centralised harmonisation are required to reduce the intra-laboratory variation in multi-centre qRT-PCR results to an acceptable level.

Abstract
Body growth during critical periods is known to be an important factor in determining the age of maturity and fecundity in fish. However, the endocrine mechanisms controlling oogenesis in fish and the effects of growth on this process are poorly understood. In this study interactions between the growth and reproductive systems were examined by monitoring changes in various components of the FSH-ovary axis, plasma insulin-like growth factor 1 (Igf1), and ovarian gene expression in relation to body and previtellogenic oocyte growth in coho salmon. Samples were collected from females during two hypothesized critical periods when growth influences maturation in this species. Body growth during the fall-spring months was strongly related to the degree of oocyte development, with larger fish possessing more advanced oocytes than smaller, slower growing fish. The accumulation of cortical alveoli in the oocytes was associated with increases in plasma and pituitary FSH, plasma estradiol-17beta, and ovarian steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (star) gene expression, whereas ovarian transcripts for growth hormone receptor and somatolactin receptor decreased. As oocytes accumulated lipid droplets, a general increase occurred in plasma Igf1 and components of the FSH-ovary axis, including plasma FSH, estradiol-17beta, and ovarian mRNAs for gonadotropin receptors, star, igf1, and igf2. A consistent positive relationship between plasma Igf1, estradiol-17beta, and pituitary FSH during growth in the spring suggests that these factors are important links in the mechanism by which body growth influences the rate of oocyte development.

Abstract
Philadelphia chromosome-positive, chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) stem and progenitor cells have a survival and growth advantage compared with their normal counterparts. The mechanisms through which the BCR/ABL protein tyrosine kinase (PTK) induces these effects and the important domains within this protein are not fully defined. The F- and G-actin binding region of the BCR/ABL C-terminus may be important in BCR/ABL-mediated events, and we have investigated this by expressing a C-terminus deletion mutant of the temperature-sensitive BCR/ABL PTK, in a haemopoietic progenitor cell line, which models the chronic phase of CML. The truncated BCR/ABL PTK displayed similar levels of PTK activity when compared with wild type and activation of second messenger formation (in the form of sn-1,2-diacylglycerol) remains intact. On fibronectin substrata, localisation of the protein to the periphery of the cell was, however, dependent on the C-terminus of BCR/ABL PTK. Deletion of the C-terminus reversed both BCR/ABL-mediated apoptotic suppression and drug resistance although the progenitor cells did retain a proliferative advantage at low concentrations of growth factor. These results demonstrated that the C-terminal actin-binding domain of BCR/ABL is important for some of BCR/ABL PTK-mediated leukaemogenic effects.

Abstract
The finding that a lens under oxidative stress accumulated free and protein-bound cysteine (protein-S-S-cysteine) in the fiber cells prompted us to examine if there is an alternative source for cysteine pools besides the active cysteine transport system in the lens, namely, the transsulfuration pathway of homocysteine-cystathionine-cysteine, which utilises methionine through transmethylation. We examined the presence of the gene for cystathionine-beta-synthase (CBS), the rate limiting enzyme that converts homocysteine to cystathionine in the transsulfuration pathway, in human lens epithelial (HLE) B3 cells using PCR with primers designed based on the sequence of human liver CBS (Forward 5'-CCA CAC TGC CCC GGC AAA AT-3'; Reverse 5'-CTG GCA ATG CCC GTG ATG GT-3'). The purified DNA fragment (586 bp) from PCR analysis was sequenced and confirmed the homology with CBS gene from other human tissues. The CBS protein band (67 kDa) was present in the HLE cells, which reacted positively with the human liver anti-CBS antibody. The enzyme protein was detected in the pig and human lenses with the highest intensity in the epithelial layer, lower but equal quantities of CBS was present in the cortical and nuclear regions. Human nuclear CBS increased while epithelial CBS decreased with aging. Oxidative stress transiently upregulated the gene expression of CBS both in HLE cells (0.1 mMH2O2) and in pig lens cultured in TC 199 medium (0.5 mMH2O2). The catalytic activity for CBS, which was assayed by measuring the production of C14-cystathionine from C14-serine in the presence of homocysteine, S-adenosyl-methionine and pyridoxal phosphate, was detectable in the HLE cells and transiently activated with H2O2. Free cystathionine accumulated when HLE B3 cells were treated with propargylglycine (PGG), an inhibitor of cystathionase, the downstream enzyme that converts cystathionine to cysteine. More cystathionine accumulation occurred when the cells were simultaneously exposed to PGG and 0.1 mMH2O2. We have shown that oxidative stress of H2O2 could increase the flux of this transsulfuration pathway by committing more homocysteine to cysteine and glutathione production as H2O2 (0.1 mM) inhibited the remethylation enzyme of methionine synthase while concurrently activating the CBS enzyme. This is the first evidence that a transsulfuration pathway is present in the lens, and that it can be upregulated under oxidative stress to provide additional redox potential for the cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Major salivary gland pathology is an uncommon but important finding which may initially present to general dental and medical practitioners. The consequences of misdiagnosis are important, as acute obstruction and neoplasia are the main pathological lesions diagnosed. The purpose of this study was to analyze a consecutive series of major gland pathologies treated surgically to determine diagnostic and treatment problems. METHODS A retrospective analysis of all cases of the major salivary glands treated on an inpatient surgical basis over a five-year period by the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Unit of the Royal Adelaide Hospital was performed. Particular emphasis was placed on the referring diagnosis as compared to the final diagnosis. RESULTS Fifty-four patients had surgical management of 62 major salivary glands over the five-year period. By gland, 18 (33.3 per cent) were parotid, 35 (51.1 per cent) submandibular and nine (16.6 per cent) were sublingual. Fifty-one (82 per cent) of all lesions were inflammatory and 11 (18 per cent) neoplastic. The most common presentations were swelling (72 per cent) and pain (33 per cent). Most patients were referred by general dentists (37 per cent), followed by general medical practitioners (32 per cent) and specialists (28 per cent). The referring diagnosis was correct for only 45 per cent of the dentists but 76 per cent for the general medical practitioners and 87 per cent for the specialists. Only two of the 11 gland neoplasms were correctly identified as neoplasms, both by specialists. The morbidity of the surgical treatment was low. CONCLUSION The general dental practitioner is often the first health professional with the opportunity to assess salivary gland pathology, and therefore needs to be aware of the presenting signs and symptoms of major salivary gland lesions.

Abstract
Objective A case definition of HIV lipodystrophy has recently been developed from a combination of clinical, metabolic and imaging/body composition variables using logistic regression methods. We aimed to evaluate whether artificial neural networks could improve the diagnostic accuracy. Methods The database of the case-control Lipodystrophy Case Definition Study was split into 504 subjects (265 with and 239 without lipodystrophy) used for training and 284 independent subjects (152 with and 132 without lipodystrophy) used for validation. Back-propagation neural networks with one or two middle layers were trained and validated. Results were compared against logistic regression models using the same information. Results Neural networks using clinical variables only (41 items) achieved consistently superior performance than logistic regression in terms of specificity, overall accuracy and area under the ROC curve. Their average sensitivity and specificity were 72.4 and 71.2%, as compared with 73.0 and 62.9% for logistic regression, respectively (area under the ROC curve, 0.784 vs 0.748). The discriminating performance of the neural networks was largely unaffected when built excluding 13 parameters that patients may not have readily available. The average sensitivity and specificity of the neural networks remained the same when metabolic variables were also considered (total 60 items) without a clear advantage against logistic regression (overall accuracy 71.8%). The performance of networks considering also body composition variables was similar to that of logistic regression (overall accuracy 78.5% for both). Conclusions Neural networks may offer a means to improve the discriminating performance for HIV lipodystrophy, when only clinical data are available and a rapid approximate diagnostic decision is needed. In this context, information on metabolic parameters is apparently not helpful in improving the diagnosis of HIV lipodystrophy, unless imaging and body composition studies are also obtained.

Abstract
The bone marrow cells of CML(chronic myelogenous leukemia) transgenic mice carrying metallothionein(MT) promoter/enhancer, bcr-abl(p210) cDNA and SV40 splicing/poly(A) signal sequences were cultured in liquid and soft agar with hydroxyurea (Hu), 5-fluorouracil(5-Fu), mouse stem cell factor (mSCF) and mouse interleukin-3(mIL-3) independently or combinatively. The cell or colony counting and transgene RT-PCR analysis showed that the proliferation, colony formation and transgene expression of the bone marrow cells were advanced in the combinative culture of mSCF with mIL-3, but they were significantly inhibited in the culture without any growth factors, or with mSCF, mIL-3 and Hu or 5-Fu. These findings suggest that the combinative utilization of chemotherapeutants and cytokines is a potentially effective strategy of the clinical treatment for CML.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The causative oncogene in CML is the BCR/ABL protein tyrosine kinase. This stem cell disease is often treated with interferon alpha (IFN-alpha) which can initiate haematological and cytological remission which is associated with increased survival. There is however no clear indication of why CML cells are more responsive to IFN-alpha. MATERIALS AND METHODS To establish if BCR/ABL increases the sensitivity of multipotent cells to IFN-alpha a temperature sensitive mutant of BCR/ABL was expressed in the multipotent haemopoietic stem cell line FDCP-Mix. The effect of IFN-alpha in terms of proliferation, induction of apoptosis, changes in cell cycle inhibitor proteins, and differentiation was assessed by [3H]thymidine incorporation, Annexin V and Western blot analysis. RESULTS When the BCR/ABL tyrosine kinase was activated, the IFN-alpha-induced inhibition on the growth rate of the FDCP-Mix cell population was more marked than in control populations. The BCR/ABL-mediated effect was due to decreased rates of DNA synthesis. There was no IFN-alpha-mediated induction of apoptosis. This enhanced BCR/ABL mediated growth inhibition occurred over a range of growth factor concentrations and was independent of changes in p21(Cip1) and p27(Kip) levels. When FDCP-Mix cells were induced to differentiate into mature macrophages and neutrophils in the presence of IFN-alpha, there was increased sensitivity to IFN-alpha that was independent of BCR/ABL activity. CONCLUSION BCR/ABL PTK expression in this primitive multipotent haematopoietic cell line results in an enhanced response to IFN-alpha. In contrast, the more mature myeloid progenitor cells are equally responsive to this growth inhibitor. This data may explain some of the clinical effects of IFN-alpha.

Abstract
The presence of the iron-binding protein lactoferrin (Lf) in some specific areas of the central nervous system and particularly in the normal human substantia nigra, where it is found in dopaminergic (DA) neurons and some glial cells, led us to investigate Lf synthesis in this area. Lf mRNA were identified using in situ hybridization and found in small ameboid cells. These cells were identified using immunocytochemistry as activated microglia since they exhibited macrophage markers such as the CD68 and the CR1 antigens. Double immunofluorescent labeling confirmed that the two Lf immunostained cell populations were activated microglia and DA neurons. Since activated microglia contained both Lf and its messenger, these cells are the Lf producing cells. The presence of Lf in DA neurons in which no Lf messengers were visible, might be due to an endocytosis mechanism, DA neurons probably internalizing Lf produced in microglial cells located in their neighborhood. In neuropathological disorders, such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, inflammatory process and oxidative stress are events that contribute to neuronal death. Since Lf concentration increases during these pathologies, we studied the level of Lf expression under these different stresses and showed, using RT-PCR, that the immortalized human embryonic microglial CHME cell line produced Lf transcripts under tumor necrosis factor alpha or 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium treatment whereas untreated cells did not. These data confirm that Lf is produced only when microglia are activated.

Abstract
Not much information is available on workplace drug testing (WDT) in Europe. There is no specific legislation and there are no generally accepted guidelines. Many companies establish a drug policy with little or no provisions for drug testing. Often, testing is performed on-site by occupational physicians, with little or no quality control, no systematic confirmation of positives, no chain of custody and no adulteration testing. In some parts of Europe, e.g. in the United Kingdom and some Scandinavian countries, WDT is increasing in importance, but it is not as widespread as in USA. The most frequently performed tests are amphetamines, cannabinoids, cocaine, opiates and alcohol. The percentage of positives is variable, but seems to decrease with the years following the introduction of WDT. Cannabis is the drug that is most frequently found.Recently, the European Workplace Drug Testing Society (EWDTS) was founded, with the aims to ensure that WDT in Europe is performed to a defined quality standard and in a legally secured way and to provide an independent forum for all aspects of WDT.A working group in the United Kingdom has recently finalised the United Kingdom laboratory guidelines for legally defensible WDT and discussions are under way with the EWDTS to establish common guidelines. Many efforts will be needed to establish WDT as an accepted part of a company policy on drugs: establishing and maintaining the confidence in the results of the laboratory, establishing the legal status of WDT, preserving the privacy and rights of the employees, proving the cost-effectiveness of WDT in a European context, finding a balance between strict guidelines and enough flexibility to tailor testing to the changing needs. It is hoped that the exchange of experience between different countries will contribute to reaching these goals.

Abstract
Transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) can inhibit cell proliferation or induce apoptosis in multipotent hematopoietic cells. To study the mechanisms of TGF-beta1 action on primitive hematopoietic cells, we used the interleukin-3 (IL-3)-dependent, multipotent FDCP-Mix cell line. TGF-beta1-mediated growth inhibition was observed in high concentrations of IL-3, while at lower IL-3 concentrations TGF-beta1 induced apoptosis. The proapoptotic effects of TGF-beta1 occur via a p53-independent pathway, since p53(null) FDCP-Mix demonstrated the same responses to TGF-beta1. IL-3 has been suggested to enhance survival via an increase in (antiapoptotic) Bcl-x(L) expression. In FDCP-Mix cells, neither IL-3 nor TGF-beta1 induced any change in Bcl-x(L) protein levels or the proapoptotic proteins Bad or Bax. However, TGF-beta1 had a major effect on Bcl-2 levels, reducing them in the presence of high and low concentrations of IL-3. Overexpression of Bcl-2 in FDCP-Mix cells rescued them from TGF-beta1-induced apoptosis but was incapable of inhibiting TGF-beta1-mediated growth arrest. We conclude that TGF-beta1-induced cell death is independent of p53 and inhibited by Bcl-2, with no effect on Bcl-x(L). The significance of these results for stem cell survival in bone marrow are discussed.

Abstract
Chronic myeloid leukaemia is a haemopoietic stem cell disorder, the hallmark of which is the expression of the Bcr-Abl Protein Tyrosine Kinase (PTK). We have previously reported that activation of a temperature sensitive Bcr-Abl PTK in the multipotent haemopoietic cell line FDCP-Mix for short periods resulted in subtle changes including, a transient suppression of apoptosis and no inhibition of differentiation. In contrast, activation of the Bcr-Abl PTK for 12 weeks results in cells that display a delay in differentiation at the early granulocyte stage. Flow cytometric analysis also indicates that the expression of cell surface differentiation markers and nuclear morphology are uncoupled. Furthermore, a significant number of the mature neutrophils display abnormal morphological features. Prolonged exposure to Bcr-Abl PTK results in interleukin-3 independent growth and decreased p53 protein levels. FDCP-Mix cells expressing a dominant negative p53 and p53null FDCP-Mix cells demonstrate that the reduction in p53 is causally related to the delay in development. Returning the cells to the restrictive temperature restores the p53 protein levels, the growth factor dependence and largely relieves the effects on development. We conclude that prolonged Bcr-Abl PTK activity within multipotent cells results in a reduction of p53 that drives a delayed and abnormal differentiation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia (CML) is characterised by the chromosomal translocation resulting in expression of the Bcr-Abl protein tyrosine kinase (PTK) in early stem cells and their progeny. However the precise nature of Bcr-Abl effects in primitive CML stem cells remains a matter of active debate. MATERIALS AND METHODS Extremely primitive Bcr-Abl fusion positive cells were purified from patients with CML using multiparameter flow cytometric analysis of CD34, Thy, and lineage marker (Lin) expression, plus rhodamine-123 (Rh-123) brightness. Progenitor cells of increasing maturity were examined for cycling status by flow cytometry and their proliferative status directly correlated with cell phenotype. The activation status of a key transcription factor, signal transducers and activators of transcription (STAT-5), was also analyzed by immunocytochemistry. RESULTS The most primitive stem cells currently defined (CD34+Lin-Thy+ Rh-1231o) were present as a lower proportion of the stem cell compartment (CD34+Lin-) of CML patients at presentation than of normal individuals (2.3% +/- 0.4 compared with 5.1% +/- 0.6 respectively). Conversely there was a significantly higher proportion of the more mature cells (CD34+Lin-Thy-Rh-123 hi) in CML patients than in normal individuals (79.3 +/- 1.8 compared with 70.9 +/- 3.3). No primitive subpopulation of CML CD34+Lin- cells was cycling to a significantly greater degree than cells from normal donors, in fact, late progenitor cells (CD34+Lin+) were cycling significantly less in CML samples than normal samples. STAT5, however, was observed to be activated in CML cells. CONCLUSIONS We conclude that no subpopulation of CML stem cells displays significantly increased cell cycling. Thus, increased cycling cannot be a direct consequence of Bcr-Abl PTK acquisition in highly enriched stem cells from patients with CML. In vivo CML need not be considered a disease of unbridled stem cell proliferation, but a subtle defect in the balance between self renewal and maturation.
