MDS and AML show elevated fractions of CD34-positive blast cell populations with a high anti-apoptotic versus proliferation ratio
This study investigates the intertwined processes of (anti-)apoptosis and cell proliferation in myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Utilizing antibodies to Bcl-2 and Ki-67, the CD34-positive blast cell compartments in bone marrow aspirates from 50 non-malignant cases, 2...

Zusammenfassung: | This study investigates the intertwined processes of (anti-)apoptosis and cell proliferation in myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Utilizing antibodies to Bcl-2 and Ki-67, the CD34-positive blast cell compartments in bone marrow aspirates from 50 non-malignant cases, 25 MDS patients, and 25 AML patients were analyzed for their anti-apoptotic and proliferative cell fractions through ten-color flow cytometry. MDS patients exhibited a significantly increased anti-apoptotic (p=0.0014) and reduced proliferative cell fraction (p=0.0030) in their blast cell population as compared to non-malignant cases. AML patients showed an even more exacerbated trend than MDS patients. The resulting Bcl-2:Ki-67 cell fraction ratios in MDS and AML were significantly increased as compared to the non-malignant cases (p=0.0004 and p |
