Abstract:
:Recent studies have revealed the dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP IV) enzymatic activity of CD26 antigen. In this paper, the possible identity of DPP IV and CD26 expression in phenotypically defined T-ALL has been examined. The combination of enzyme cytochemistry and immunocytochemistry was used. The correlation between the CD26 antigen expression and DPP IV positivity in the vast majority of T lymphoblasts in T-ALL patients was observed. No CD26 was expressed on DPP IV negative T cells. The variable CD4 and/or CD8 antigen expression, frequent CD7 positivity and absence of membrane CD3 antigen expression were the characteristic immunophenotypic features of CD26/DPP IV positive T cells. CD26/DPP IV activity strongly paralleled the CD71 antigen (transferrin receptor, T cell activation/proliferation antigen) expression. The phenotypic features of CD26/DPP IV positive T cells are characteristic for the relative immature cell population. Noteworthy was the slight disassociation between the very high CD26 antigen J expression and moderate DPP IV activity in cells of some T-ALL patients. The possible existence of enzymatically inactive structures of CD26 antigen or inactive precursors of DPP IV detectable only by immunocytochemistry was discussed. Our study indicates that CD26 antigen expression is tended to identify cells with DPP IV enzymatic activity in T-ALL patients. The results provide information of CD26 antigen possible involvement in the pathology of leukemic cells via its DPP IV enzyme activity.
