In this study, we have assessed the in vitro growth of hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPC) from chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients that have recovered after different treatments. Bone marrow cells were obtained from 33 CML patients, including patients at diagnosis, before treatment (n = 12), and patients that have achieved hematological remission (and in most cases a major cytogenetic response) after different therapeutic procedures (n = 21), including patients treated with Interferon-α (IFN; n = 5), imatinib mesylate (IMATINIB; n = 8) and patients that received an allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT; n = 8). Marrow cells were enriched for CD34+ cells and cultured in a serum- and stroma-free liquid culture system, supplemented with a combination of 8 recombinant cytokines. Normal samples were studied as controls. HPC from CML patients before therapy showed deficient proliferation and expansion potentials in culture (140-fold increase in nucleated cell number and 1.3-fold increase in colony-forming cell number) as compared to normal progenitors (1200-fold increase in nucleated cell number and 25-fold increase in colony-forming cell number). In contrast, HPC from patients treated with IMATINIB showed growth potentials similar to those of normal progenitors. Progenitors from patients after HCT also showed significant proliferation and expansion capacities. Interestingly, progenitors from IFN-treated patients showed proliferation and expansion kinetics similar to those of cells from untreated patients. These results indicate that, although treatment of CML patients with IFN, IMATINIB or HCT resulted in complete hematological remission (and a major cytogenetic response), only patients treated with IMATINIB and, to a lesser extent, with HCT showed a full hematopoietic recovery, as determined by the in vitro growth of HPC in our culture system.
