Rearrangements of the T-cell receptor (TCR) delta locus are observed in the majority of human B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemias (ALL) with a striking predominance of V delta 2(D)D delta 3 recombinations in common ALL (cALL) patients. Recently, we and others showed that almost 20% of cALL cases are characterized by further recombination of V delta 2(D)D delta 3 segments to J alpha elements, thereby deleting the TCR delta locus in analogy to the delta Rec/psi J alpha pathway in differentiating alpha/beta-positive T cells. We report here that two human cALL-derived cell lines, REH and Nalm-6, are competent to recombine the TCR delta/alpha locus under standard tissue culture conditions. Analysis of different REH subclones obtained by limiting dilution of the initial culture showed a biased recombination of V delta 2D delta 3 to distinct J alpha elements. During prolonged tissue culture, a subclone acquired growth advantage and displaced parental cells as well as other subclones. Frequently, the DJ junctions of REH subclones contained extended stretches of palindromic sequences derived from modified D delta 3 coding elements. The other cell line, Nalm-6, started the TCR delta/alpha recombination with an unusual signal joint of a cryptic recombinase signal sequence (RSS) upstream of D delta 3 to the 3′ RSS of D delta 3. The RSS dimer was subsequently rearranged in all investigated subclones to an identical J alpha element. Both cell lines might become valuable tools to unravel the complex regulation of TCR delta/alpha recombination pathways in malignant and normal lymphopoiesis.

The mechanisms of substrate induction and L-cyst(e)ine repression of alkaline phosphatase were studied in tissue culture using an established African green monkey kidney cell line (BS-C-I). L-Cyst(e)ine repression and substrate induction are mutually antagonistic. Evidence is presented which suggests that the increase in alkaline phosphatase levels induced by mono-phosphate esters may in part be due to protection of the enzyme from cellular degradation, while L-cyst(e)ine is believed to act either by repressing the synthesis of the enzyme or by selectively increasing its catabolism.

Abstract Earlier we described a kinetic assay for quantifying skeletal alkaline phosphatase (ALP) isoenzyme activity in serum. The precision of the assay depends on including ALP standards for the skeletal, hepatic, intestinal, and placental isoenzymes. We wondered whether human osteosarcoma cells could provide an efficient alternative to human bone or Pagetic serum as a source of the skeletal ALP standard. ALP activities prepared from five human osteosarcoma cell lines were compared with a bone-derived ALP standard with respect to heat stability and sensitivity to chemical effectors. Two of the cell lines (SaOS-2 and TE-85) contained ALP activities that resembled the bone-derived standard. We selected SaOS-2 cells for additional evaluation (as a potential source of isoenzyme standard), because they contained 40-50 times more ALP activity than did the TE-85 cells. To include the SaOS-2 cell-derived ALP activity in the quantitative isoenzyme assay, we diluted the enzyme in a solution containing heat-inactivated (i.e., ALP-negative) human serum. Surprisingly, this dilution caused a 60-125% increase in maximum enzyme activity. In the quantitative assay of ALP isoenzyme in serum, the SaOS-2 derived ALP was indistinguishable from the serum skeletal ALP standard, with respect to the above criteria and assay variations. Evidently ALP from SaOS-2 cells is suited as a standard for measuring skeletal ALP activity in this assay.
