Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) is a malignant disorder of the hematopoietic stem cell characterized by the BCR-ABL oncogene. We examined gene expression profiles of highly enriched CD34(+) hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells from patients with CML in chronic phase using cDNA arrays covering 1.185 genes. Comparing CML CD34(+) cells with normal CD34(+) cells, we found 158 genes which were significantly differentially expressed. Gene expression patterns reflected BCR-ABL-induced functional alterations such as increased cell-cycle and proteasome activity. Detoxification enzymes and DNA repair proteins were downregulated in CML CD34(+) cells, which might contribute to genetic instability. Decreased expression of junction plakoglobulin and CXC chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR-4) might facilitate the release of immature precursors from bone marrow in CML. GATA-2 was upregulated in CML CD34(+) cells, suggesting an increased self-renewal in comparison with normal CD34(+) cells. Moreover, we found upregulation of the proto-oncogene SKI and of receptors for neuromediators such as opioid mu1 receptor, GABA B receptor, adenosine A1 receptor, orexin 1 and 2 receptors and corticotropine-releasing hormone receptor. Treatment of CML progenitor cells with the selective adenosine A1 receptor antagonist 8-cyclopentyl-1,3-dipropylxanthine (DPCPX) resulted in a dose-dependent significant inhibition of clonogenic growth by 40\% at a concentration of 10(-5) M, which could be reversed by the equimolar addition of the receptor agonist 2-chloro-N6-cyclopentyladenosine (P<0.05). The incubation of normal progenitor cells with DPCPX resulted in an inhibition of clonogenic growth to a significantly lesser extent in comparison with CML cells (P<0.05), suggesting that the adenosine A1 receptor is of functional relevance in CML hematopoietic progenitor cells.
