NK cell-type lymphoproliferative disease of granular lymphocytes can be subdivided into aggressive NK-cell leukemia (ANKL) and chronic NK-cell lymphocytosis (CNKL). Hepatosplenomegaly is observed in ANKL patients, and hepatic failure is a common cause of death. Significant numbers of ANKL cells were pathologically observed in sinusoidal and interlobular regions of the liver, and in the splenic red pulp. In our previous study, ANKL cells were simultaneously positive for CXCR1 and CCR5. So, in order to elucidate the mechanism in the systemic migration of ANKL cells, we investigated the expression of the corresponding chemokines in ANKL compared with CNKL. The serum level of IL-8, MIP-1 alpha and MIP-1 beta was significantly elevated in ANKL patients, and ANKL cells were highly positive for IL-8, RANTES, MIP-1 alpha and MIP-1 beta according to intracellular staining and RT-PCR. These chemokines were also positively stained in heparocytes. The interaction between Fas and Fas ligand (FasL) is supposed to be one of the mechanisms for liver dysfunction in ANKL. The serum concentration of soluble FasL was significantly high in ANKL patients, and ANKL cells expressed FasL protein in the cytoplasm. These results suggest that the chemokine system plays an important role in the transmigration of FasL-expressing ANKL cells. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
