Expression of interleukin‐5 receptors on acute myeloid leukaemia cells: association with immunophenotype and karyotype

Abstract: Eosinophilia sometimes occurs in acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) and several laboratories have reported that cells with the t(8;21) or structural abnormalities of chromosome 16 can proliferate and differentiate to eosinophils in the presence of IL-5 in vitro. However, cases without these chromosomal abnormalities can also have eosinophilia. We investigated the association between the expression of IL-5 receptor (IL-5R) gene, karyotype and phenotype in 35 patients with AML. All cases expressed the IL-3R but the I… Show more

“…43 Eosinophilia is one of the characteristic blood pictures of t(8;21)AML, and the in vitro eosinophilic differentiation of the leukemic cells induced by IL-5 was also reported. 16,44 Ema et al 16 reported that IL-5 was able to support the survival of t(8;21)AML cells for more than 4 weeks. Our study indicated that G-CSF and IL-5 were able to promote predominant colony formation of t(8;21)AML cells.…”

“…13 These observations indicate that IL-5 is the major regulator of eosinophil production in vivo, perhaps aided by GM-CSF. It is of relevance therefore that there is expression of IL-5 receptors on leukemias with eosinophil subpopulations 14 and that such cells can respond to IL-5 stimulation by generating eosinophils. 2,3 IL-5 was identified originally as a T lymphocyte product influencing B lymphocyte maturation 15 and stimulating eosinophil colony formation.…”

“…[4][5][6][7] Previous reports including ours have demonstrated that t(8;21)AML shows high levels of CD34 and DR expression, with a prevalent positivity for CD19 and CD56 surface markers and a low expression of CD33 and CD7 when compared to AML with normal or other aberrant karyotypes, and eosinophilia is also often observed in t(8;21) AML. [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] Cytogenetically, the t(8;21) AML is frequently associated with a loss of the sex chromosome Y in males and inactive X in females; 3 3.4% of the cases are variant translocations. 16 However, the influence of these variant translocations or additional chromosomal abnormalities on the characteristics of t(8;21) AML is still unclear.…”
