The 697 cell line is classified as a precursor B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) cell line. It exhibits several characteristic features of B-cell leukemia, including the expression of B-cell markers and the presence of genetic abnormalities commonly found in B-ALL cases.

One notable genetic characteristic of the 697 cell line is the expression of certain mRNA molecules, including BCL2, BCL3, and MYC. These genes play essential roles in cell survival, proliferation, and differentiation. BCL2 is involved in regulating apoptosis (programmed cell death), while BCL3 and MYC are associated with cell cycle control and cellular transformation.

Over the years, the 697 cell line has been extensively characterized and used as a model system for studying the biology of B-ALL. It has been employed in various research areas, including investigating the effects of drug treatments, exploring genetic alterations, and studying the signaling pathways involved in leukemia development.

The 697 Cell Line with Early B-Cell Phenotypes

The 697 cell line consisted of medium-sized lymphoid cells with a large nuclear: cytoplasmic ratio. The nucleus was frequently indented and contained a fine chromatin network; nucleoli were not prominent (Fig. 1). Cytochemical studies showed that the 697 cell line was slightly positive for acid phosphatase and PAS, while it was negative for peroxidase and esterases. Vacuoles in the 697 cell line were shown to contain lipids by the oil-red-O stain. Cytogenetic studies demonstrated that the 697 cell line was pseudodiploid with a marker chromosome consisting of a translocation between chromosome 7 and 19: t (7;19) (q11; q13).

Results of immunologic and terminal transferase testing are summarized in Table 1. The 697 cell line was positive for CALLA and for the HLA-DR antigen. Furthermore, the 697 cell line expressed µ heavy chains but not light chains or any other heavy chain classes. Mu chains were easily detected by immunofluorescence in the cytoplasm, while the cell-surface staining for µ chain determinants was distinct but faint. Additional cell markers identified on the 697 cell line were a myeloid-macrophage antigen (MMA), the human natural killer cell antigen (HNK-l), and the transferrin-receptor antigen (T9). Enzymatic assay for TdT revealed 23 U/108 cells for the 697 cell line. The 697 cell line was found to contain the Epstein-Barr virus nuclear and capsid antigens.

Bioluminescence Imaging of Leukemia Cell Lines in Vitro and Mouse Xenografts

Although animal models of leukemia often utilize survival time as the primary therapeutic endpoint, bioluminescence imaging (BLI) is increasingly being used to provide a quantitative and more rapid assessment of drug efficacy in pre-clinical oncology research. The utility of bioluminescence imaging (BLI) was investigated using firefly luciferase in monoclonal and polyclonal populations of leukemia cells in vitro and in vivo.

Polyclonal luciferase expressing populations of human T-cell ALL (Jurkat), B-cell ALL (697), and chronic myeloid leukemia (K562) cell lines were generated and luciferase activity was determined by measurement of bioluminescence intensity (photons/second) (Fig. 2). The maximum detectable bioluminescence intensity of the 697 cell line was 4.61 × 106 ± 0.49 photons/second. The signal intensity increased to a maximum after injection of D-luciferin and then decreased slowly over time. The maximum signal intensity was reached between 9 and 16 minutes after the administration of D-luciferin and was also cell-line dependent.

Equal and comparable development of bioluminescence signal was also noted after transplantation of monoclonal populations of luciferase-transduced 697 cell lines in NSG mice (Fig. 3). After transplantation of luciferase-transduced 697 cells, the strongest bioluminescence signal in the liver and the femurs were measured.

What are the 4 stages of the cell cycle?

The cell cycle is a 4-stage process consisting of Gap 1 (G1), synthesis (S), Gap 2 (G2), and mitosis (M), which a cell undergoes as it grows and divides. After completing the cycle it either starts the process again from G1 or exits through G0.

What is the origin of the 697 cell line?

The 697 cell line was established from the bone marrow of a 12-year-old boy with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (cALL) at relapse in 1979, providing a relevant model for studying this aggressive form of leukemia.

Why are the 697 cells significant in research?

The 697 cell line, recently termed "EU-3" in the literature, is of significant interest to researchers studying cALL due to its well-defined molecular characteristics and established clinical origin.

How do the 697 cells contribute to our understanding of acute lymphoblastic leukemia?

Genetic and molecular characterization of the 697 cells has contributed to insights into the molecular and biological pathways underlying acute lymphoblastic leukemia, aiding in the development of targeted therapeutic interventions.
