Injection of K562 cells caused massive organ infiltration by leukemic cells, chloroma development and presence of K562 cells in the blood of 90 of the animals in the selectin competent mice. In the selectin deficient animals, only 20 of these mice developed chloromas and showed signs of bone marrow infiltration and only very few leukemic cells were detected in their blood. No further infiltration of other organs was observed in any of the selectin deficient animals. These data suggest an essential effect of the selectins on CML cell engraftment.Figure 1. Human EOL-1 cells and K562 cells bind to E- and Pselectin in vitro. Binding of human E- and P-selectin to human CEL and CML cells was analyzed by flow cytometry. Given in the histograms are the fluorescence signal (FL-1 for AlexaFluor488 16574785 or FL-2 for phycoerythrin) and event number, selectin binding is represented by the filled curves, controls by the open curves. Cell lines and selectins used were: EOL-1 and human E-selectin (A), EOL-1 and human Pselectin (B), K562 and human E-selectin (C) and K562 and human Pselectin (D). All experiments were repeated twice, representative results are shown. doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0070139.gremaining wt animals injected with EOL-1 cells developed varying symptoms of eosinophilic CEL, i.e. cachexia, apathy, palpable tumors/chloroma (Figure 3A) and/or paraplegia, and had to be euthanized after 26 to 34 days (median 32 days, Figure 4A). This part of the experiment was therefore terminated after 53 days. One mouse of the corresponding k.o. group had to be euthanized after 32 days due to paraplegia (without any further signs of CEL). The animal showed 1605 EOL-1 cells/ml blood, however, necropsy revealed no signs of chloromas and no EOL-1 cells were found in histology. On day 53 only one animal of the k.o. group showed a palpable subcutaneous tumor on the back, but displayed no further signs of CEL and, correspondingly, no median survival can be given for the k.o. group (Figure 4A). The resulting survival curves of the wt and k.o. animals for EOL-1 were significantly different (P,0.0001, Log-rank test). Necropsy and histology revealed multiple organ involvement in the wt group: various animals developed solid chloromas located at the spine (animals showed corresponding paraplegia), in the peritoneum and/or the thorax and showed infiltrations of EOl-1 cells in the bone marrow, liver and/or lung. In the k.o. group, only three animals developed small chloromas in the thorax and only two of these mice showed infiltrations of EOl-1 cells in the liver. No further infiltrations by EOL-1 cells were found in any of the other animals of the k.o. group. Quantitative real time PCR (Title Loaded From File qRTPCR) showed a significantly reduced number of EOL-1 cells in the k.o. animals’ blood at the time of death (median of 7.8 EOL-1 cells/ml blood in the k.o. group, range 0 to 2210 cells/ml) compared with the wt group (median of 32950 EOL-1 cells/mlDetection of Selectin Ligands on CEL and CML Cell LinesIn order to identify the E- and P-selectin ligands on cells of the human CEL and CML cell lines, selectin binding after (pre)incubation of cells from culture with potentially inhibiting antibodies was measured by flow cytometry.
