Quantitative analysis of clonal bone marrow CD19+ B cells : use of B cell lineage trees to delineate their role in the pathogenesis of light chain amyloidosis

Light chain amyloidosis (AL) is a bone marrow (BM) plasma cell neoplasia with systemic deposition of Ig light chain amyloid fibrils. Here, we report the identification of clonal CD19 B cells in the BM and the use of a novel mathematical algorithm to generate B cell lineage trees of the clonal CD19 B...

Zusammenfassung:Light chain amyloidosis (AL) is a bone marrow (BM) plasma cell neoplasia with systemic deposition of Ig light chain amyloid fibrils. Here, we report the identification of clonal CD19 B cells in the BM and the use of a novel mathematical algorithm to generate B cell lineage trees of the clonal CD19 B cells and CD138 plasma cells from the BM of AL patients to delineate the relationship between these two clonal populations. The CD19+ clonal B cells in the BM of AL patients related to the clonal plasma cells represent a pre-plasma cell precursor population. The B cell lineage trees from AL patients also show significant differences in clonal diversification and antigenic selection compared to clones from normal, healthy controls. These data provide a robust example of the use of graphical quantification methods in delineating the role of neoplastic precursors in the pathogenesis of hematopoietic malignancies
