Xenograft models represent a promising tool to study the pathogenesis of hematological malignancies. To establish a reliable and appropriate in vivo model of aggressive human B-cell leukemia and lymphoma we xenotransplanted four p53-mutated cell lines and one ATM-mutated cell line into immunodeficient NOD/SCID IL2Rγ-null mice. The cell lines MEC-1, SU-DHL-4, JEKO-1, REC-1, and GRANTA-519 were transplanted intraperitoneally or subcutaneously and the engraftment was investigated using immunohistochemistry and flow cytometry. We found significant differences in engraftment efficiency. MEC-1, JEKO-1 and GRANTA-519 cell lines engrafted most efficiently, while SU-DHL-4 cells did not engraft at all. MEC-1 and GRANTA-519 massively infiltrated organs and the whole intraperitoneal cavity showing very aggressive growth. In addition, GRANTA-519 cells massively migrated to the bone marrow regardless of the transplantation route. The MEC-1 and GRANTA-519 cells can be especially recommended for in vivo study of p53-mutated chronic lymphocytic leukemia and ATM-mutated mantle cell lymphoma, respectively.

Acute graft-vs-host disease (aGVHD) is a frequent, life-threatening complication after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). Despite that, there are no reliable molecular markers reflecting the onset or clinical course of aGVHD. We performed a pilot study on gene expression profiling in peripheral blood mononuclear cells taken from 15 patients with hematological malignancies who underwent allo-HSCT and developed aGVHD. Based on survival rates after aGVHD, patients were divided into two groups-favorable (all patients alive; median follow-up 40 months) vs unfavorable group (all patients died; median survival 2 months). Two-hundred and eighty genes differentially expressed between these two groups were identified; among them, genes responsible for cytokine signaling, inflammatory response, and regulation of cell cycle were over-represented; interleukin-8, G0S2, ANXA3, and NR4A2 were upregulated in the unfavorable group, CDKN1C was downregulated in the same group. Interestingly, the same genes were also described as overexpressed in connection with autoimmune diseases. This indicates an involvement of similar immune regulatory pathways also in aGVHD. Our data support use of gene expression profiling at aGVHD onset for a prediction of its outcomes.
