Abstract:
:Aneuploidy and lg light chain restriction were used as separate, independent tumor specific markers to study 26 patients with multiple myeloma to determine whether bone marrow B cells, as defined by CD19 expression, are clonally related to myeloma plasma cells. Specimens were characterized using multidimensional flow cytometry to identify the presence of clonality in both the B lymphoid and plasma cell populations using both surface and cytoplasmic staining with antibodies specific for kappa or lambda lg light chain In none of the patients with multiple myeloma were CD19+ cells found to be clonally restricted to kappa or lambda. The monoclonal plasma cells (MPC) were found to be uniformly negative for CD10, CD19, and CD34, while the CD19+ B lymphoid cells present within the samples expressed normal intensities and relationships of these antigens, which allowed them to serve as internal positive controls. Combined analysis of call surface antigen expression and DNA content allowed plasma cell populations to be characterized for aneuploidy without interference from normal bone marrow cells. The MPC, detected on the basis of bright CD38 expression (CD38+2), demonstrated DNA aneuploidy in 65% of cases (DNA index range of 0.9 to 1.3). These aneuploid DNA distributions had typical cell cycle profiles (including G1,S and G2+M) expected of a proliferating population. In all cases, DNA aneuploidy was confined almost entirely to the CD38+2, CD19- malignant plasma cells, while cells expressing CD19 were diploid. These results support the concept that myeloma is a disease process mediated by self-replicating, late compartments of B-cell ontogeny.
