Platelet-activating factor (PAF), a phospholipid mediator with a wide range of actions on mature leukocytes, acts through PAF-receptors (PAF-Rs) on the membranes of responsive cells. No results are available concerning the putative presence of PAF-Rs on leukemic blasts. Using multiparameter flow cytometry, we assessed intracellular and membrane PAF-Rs on blast cells of acute myeloid leukemic (AML) and acute lymphoid leukemic (ALL) patients. Membrane PAF-Rs were documented in 7/15 cases of ALL and 0/28 cases of AML. Putative intracellular PAF-Rs were found in blasts of 8/8 ALL and 13/13 AML patients. Vitamin D(3) and dimethyl sulfoxide that induced the expression of PAF-Rs on the membrane of the human promyelocytic leukemia cell line, HL60, failed to induce their expression on the membranes of CD34(+) AML blasts. The lack of membrane PAF-Rs on the membranes of AML blasts confirms that these receptors represent a marker of mature cells and that their membrane induction is a consequence of cell maturation and differentiation.
