The tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) mRNA accumulation and the release of the cytokines TNF-alpha and IL-6 was determined in leukemic cells isolated from bone marrow biopsy from patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia: ALL-common type (cALL), 11 patients; ALL-T type, nine patients. The non-leukemic bone marrow cells (BMMC) and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from healthy donors were used as a control. The mRNA was assessed by fluorescent in situ hybridization in cell suspension and analyzed with flow cytometry. The accumulation of cytokine mRNA was higher in cALL cells as compared to ALL-T and PBMC (control) and was comparable to cytokines mRNA accumulation in BMMC. The production of IL-6 by leukemic cells from both types of leukemia was significantly lower than in BMMC. The bioactive TNF was not detected in either of the leukemia groups studied. TNF-alpha protein was produced by ALL-T cells and BMMC but not by cALL type of leukemic cells. The synthesis of IL-6 was significantly enhanced by TNF-alpha in BMMC and ALL-T while the presence of TNF-alpha had no effect on IL-6 synthesis in the culture of cALL leukemic cells. It was concluded that despite IL-6 and TNF-alpha mRNA contents, leukemic cells representing early stage of B-cell development (CD10+) showed disregulation of production of these cytokines.
