Mechanisms in the Transformation of IL3-Dependent Hematopoietic Stem Cells

  • Conference paper
Mechanisms in Myeloid Tumorigenesis 1988

Abstract

The hematopoietic system is derived from the progeny of pluripotential stem cells which can differentiate along lymphoid or myeloid lineages (Keller et al.1985; Williams et al.1984; Joyner et al.1983; Lemischka et al.1986). Interleukin 3 (IL3) is a T cell derived lymphokine which supports the proliferation and differentiation of early hematopoietic stem cells in vitro and has been speculated to play a comparable role in vivo (Ihle, and Weinstein, 1986; Ihle, 1988). A role for IL3 in the mechanisms by which retroviruses induce leukemias has been hypothesized based on several observations. Initially it was observed that there was a correlation between a T cell immune response to retroviruses and the latency and frequency of leukemias (Lee et al.1981a). It was subsequently demonstrated that the T cell response consisted, in part, of viral antigen specific helper T cells which produced IL3 following antigenic stimulation (Lee, and Ihle, 1981b). As a consequence of this immune response there is a dramatic increase in the cells proliferating in response to IL3 in vivo (Lee, and Ihle, 1981) which has been hypothesized to constitute an increased pool of progenitors for transformation.
