摘要
B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) is characterized by the accumulation of monoclonal long-lived B cells which are apparently resistant to normal apoptotic regulation. Since bone marrow stromal cells play an essential role in B lymphopoiesis, we have investigated wether stromal cells influence B-CLL cell survival. Our results indicate that intimate contact with stromal cells reduces B-CLL cell apoptosis and prevents the loss of bcl-2 protein expression. Binding of B-CLL cells to stromal cells requires simultaneous action of beta 1 and beta 2 integrins. The interaction between B-CLL cells and other cell types seems important for their survival and may represent an important mechanism underlying accumulation of malignant cells in B-CLL patients.
