Background Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is associatedwith a hemorrhagic disorder of unknown cause that responds totreatment with all-trans-retinoic acid.
Methods We studied a newly described receptor for fibrinolyticproteins, annexin II, in cells from patients with APL or otherleukemias. We examined initial rates of in vitro generationof plasmin by tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) in the presenceof APL cells that did or did not have the characteristic translocationof APL, t(15;17). We also determined the effect of all-trans-retinoicacid on the expression of annexin II and the generation of cell-surfaceplasmin.
Results The expression of annexin II, as detected by a fluorescein-taggedantibody, was greater on leukemic cells from patients with APLthan on other types of leukemic cells (mean fluorescence intensity,6.9 and 2.9, respectively; P<0.01). The t(15;17)-positiveAPL cells stimulated the generation of cell-surface, t-PAdependentplasmin twice as efficiently as the t(15;17)-negative cells.This increase in plasmin was blocked by an antiannexinII antibody and was induced by transfection of t(15;17)-negativecells with annexin II complementary DNA. The t(15;17)-positiveAPL cells contained abundant messenger RNA for annexin II, whichdisappeared through a transcriptional mechanism after treatmentwith all-trans-retinoic acid.
Conclusions Abnormally high levels of expression of annexinII on APL cells increase the production of plasmin, a fibrinolyticprotein. Overexpression of annexin II may be a mechanism forthe hemorrhagic complications of APL.
