主 题:Leukemia Lentiviral Vector Myelofibrosis Common Marmoset
摘 要:Patients with Philadelphia chromosome (p190 BCR-ABL fusion gene)-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia have a poor prognosis despite intensive therapeutic *** this study, we attempted to develop a leukemia nonhuman primate model that mimics various human systems. Hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells in the common marmoset were transduced with a lentiviral vector containing the p190 BCR-ABL fusion gene by ex vivo transduction or in vivo direct bone marrow injection. In the latter model, BCR-ABL gene expression was maintained for more than one and a half years. One marmoset unexpectedly developed myelofibrosis-like disease. However, none of the marmosets have developed leukemia to date. In conclusion, we successfully achieved sustained p190 BCR-ABL gene expression in vivo. However, a genetic mutation in addition to p190 BCR-ABL may be required for the malignant transformation of hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells in the common marmoset during the short observation period. This novel in vivo approach will help develop a marmoset leukemia model in the future.
