There is evidence to suggest a close relationship between the erythroid and megakaryocytic lineages. Using RT-PCR, we evaluated the coexpression of erythroid and megakaryocytic genes in blasts from 25 acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) cases (FAB M1-M7) and three unclassifiable leukaemias with trilineage dysplasia (trilineal AML). All FAB M6 and M7 and trilineal leukaemias expressed mRNAs for alpha-globin, glycoprotein IIb (GpIIb), erythropoietin receptor (Epo-R) and thrombopoietin receptor (c-mpl), but not for myeloperoxidase (MPO) which in contrast was expressed in the other FAB-subtype leukaemias. These data support the hypothesis that blasts from M7 and M6 leukaemias may derive from (or represent) a common progenitor cell with resident bipotentiality towards the megakaryocytic and erythrocytic lineages.
