Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) progenitor cells have been shown to be defective in their ability to adhere to marrow stroma. It was the aim of the present study to investigate at the cytogenetic level marrow-derived CML clonogenic cells fractionated on the basis of their ability to adhere to preformed, allogeneic, normal marrow-derived stromal layers. Mononuclear marrow cells from CML patients (n = 15) were incubated with mafosfamide (100 micrograms/ml) or control medium, seeded onto marrow stromal layers and allowed to adhere (3 hrs, 37 degrees C). Following a short-term liquid culture, the different cell fractions were harvested and incorporated in methylcellulose cultures. CFU-GM grown from these cultures were analyzed by single colony karyotyping. On direct cytogenetic analysis, the overall mean (+/- SD) percentage of Ph-negative metaphases was 7 +/- 20%. Following stroma adherence and shortterm suspension culture, the mean (+/- SD) percentages of Ph-negative clones were as follows: 33 +/- 25% for adherent CFU-GM, 59 +/- 40% for adherent, mafosfamide-treated CFU-GM, 12 +/- 16% for non-adherent CFU-GM, and 32 +/- 26% for non-adherent-mafosfamide-treated CFU-GM. If only the patients showing a percentage of Ph-negative clones > or = 20% were included in this analysis, the mean (+/- SD) percentages of Ph-negative clones were 47 +/- 19% for adherent CFU-GM, and 81 +/- 21% for adherent-Mafosfamide-treated CFU-GM. In contrast, the majority of pH-positive CFU-GM were detected within the stroma non-adherent cell fraction.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
