Vascular endothelial cell growth factor is an autocrine promoter of abnormal localized immature myeloid precursors and leukemia progenitor formation in myelodysplastic syndromes
Abstract
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a potent angiogenic peptide with biologic effects that include regulation of hematopoietic stem cell development, extracellular matrix remodeling, and inflammatory cytokine generation. To delineate the potential role of VEGF in patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), VEGF protein and receptor expression and its functional significance in MDS bone marrow (BM) were evaluated. In BM clot sections from normal donors, low-intensity cytoplasmic VEGF expression was detected infrequently in isolated myeloid elements. However, monocytoid precursors in chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) expressed VEGF in an intense cytoplasmic pattern with membranous co-expression of the Flt-1 or KDR receptors, or both. In situ hybridization confirmed the presence of VEGF mRNA in the neoplastic monocytes. In acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) and other MDS subtypes, intense co-expression of VEGF and one or both receptors was detected in myeloblasts and immature myeloid elements, whereas erythroid precursors and lymphoid cells lacked VEGF and receptor expression. Foci of abnormal localized immature myeloid precursors (ALIP) co-expressed VEGF and Flt-1 receptor, suggesting autocrine cytokine interaction. Antibody neutralization of VEGF inhibited colony-forming unit (CFU)-leukemia formation in 9 of 15 CMML and RAEB-t patient specimens, whereas VEGF stimulated leukemia colony formation in 12 patients. Neutralization of VEGF activity suppressed the generation of tumor necrosis factor-α and interleukin-1β from MDS BM–mononuclear cells and BM–stroma and promoted the formation of CFU-GEMM and burst-forming unit-erythroid in methylcellulose cultures. These findings indicate that autocrine production of VEGF may contribute to leukemia progenitor self-renewal and inflammatory cytokine elaboration in CMML and MDS and thus provide a biologic rationale for ALIP and its adverse prognostic relevance in high-risk MDS.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
