    Notes: Summary We describe the incidence and morphology of cellular aggregates which may develop in 8 day bone marrow (BM) cultures of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Aggregates formed in at least one BM culture from 50% (20/39) of the AML group. They developed irrespective of the patient's status (i.e. stages M1–M4), FAB type, and presence of colony stimulating factor (CSF). All aggregates were composed of macrophages, plasma cells, and cells of the myelocyte series surrounding a core of adipocytes and collagen fibrils. The percentage of blasts and promyelocytes in the plated BM aspirate governed the final composition of the aggregate. Patients in Stages M3 or M4 with FAB types M1 or M2 formed aggregates with a high proportion of myelocytic cells; aggregates of all other AML patients were composed predominantly of macrophages and plasmacytes. Aggregates appeared to form as a result of attraction of cells in the medium toward the stroma cell core. Furthermore, the development of aggregates in the absence of exogenous CSF, suggested that stromal cells excreted a factor with CSF-like activity. The results indicate that cellular aggregates in AML-BM cultures reflect the important role of BM stroma in creating microenvironments which enhance the development of hemopoietic stem cells.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Die Aufnahme und der Stoffwechsel von Adenin und Adenosin in Erythrocyten von Patienten mit myotoner Dystrophie (MD) wurde untersucht. Zur Charakterisierung des Aufnahmevorganges wurden gewaschene Erythrocyten von Kontrollpersonen bzw. Patienten mit 14C-markiertem Adenin oder Adenosin bei 20° C für 5 bis 120s inkubiert. Zwischen den Kontrollen und den Patienten waren keine Unterschiede nachweisbar. Nach 30 min Inkubation bei 37° C wurden die gebildeten Adeninnukleotide bestimmt. Im Vergleich zu den Kontroll-Erythrocyten wurde in den Erythrocyten der MD-Patienten Adenin um den Faktor 2.6 vermehrt in Adeninnukleotide eingebaut, wobei es zu einem Anstieg des Quotienten aus ATP: ADP+AMP von durchschnittlich 0,92 auf 1,39 kam. Adenosin wurde hingegen in den Erythrocyten beider Kollektive in gleicher Weise metabolisiert. Die Ergebnisse weisen auf keine Störung der Purintransportsysteme an Erythrocyten von MD-Patienten, lassen aber trotz normaler intraerythrocytärer ATP-Konzentration auf einen größeren Bedarf an ATP schließen, der auf einen vermehrten Austritt der Adeninnukeotide aus dem MD-Erythrocyten zurückzuführen sein könnte.
    Notes: Summary The uptake and subsequent metabolism of adenine and adenosine was studied with the intact erythrocytes of patients with myotonic dystrophy (MD). Washed erythrocytes of both controls and patients were incubated with 14C-labeled adenine or adenosine at 20°C for 5 to 120s to characterize the uptake process. No differences in the uptake process of adenine or adenosine were observed between normal and MD erythrocytes. Formation of adenine nucleotides was determined at 37° C after incubation for 30 min. Compared to controls, the incorporation of adenine into adenine nucleotides was 2.6 times higher in MD erythrocytes. This depends mainly on an increase of ATP formation. The mean ratios of ATP: ADP+AMP for normal red cells and MD erythrocytes were 0.92 and 1.39 respectively. No difference was found in the conversion of adenosine to adenine nucleotides. In spite of a normal amount of intracellular ATP a greater demand for ATP exists. This might be due to leakage of adenine nucleotides out of MD erythrocytes.
