Monoblast

CSF-1 (also known as macrophage CSF or M-CSF) locally and humorally regulates the survival, proliferation, differentiation and function of mononuclear phagocytic cells (committed progenitor, monoblast, promonocyte, monocyte, tissue... 

Figure 2.1 Monocyte (MC) derivation from precursors and maturation to highly specialized cell types macrophages, dendritic cells, and osteoclasts. Neutrophils and monoblasts derive from a common precursor, the GM-CSF. Promonocytes precede MCs in maturity. MCs originate in the bone marrow and pass into the blood and tissues, where they mature to dendritic cells or macrophages (MC>s) in response to local environmental cues.

Macrophages are renewed on an ongoing basis by the influx of monocytes from the circuladon and by local division of immature MP that have arised from precursors in the bone marrow. The cells develop from monoblasts to promonocytes then to circuladng monocytes. During microbial infecdons and an inflammatory response monocyte producdon increases...

In chronic myeloid leukemia, a translocation involving chromosomes 9 and 22 [t(9 22)] is seen in over 90% of the patients who have Philadelphia chromosome. In acute myeloid leukemia, certain structural aberrations are specifically associated with particular morphologic subtypes. Thus in the differentiation of the granulocytic lineage, a t(8 22) is associated, whereas a t(15 17) is seen only in promyelocytic leukemia. Monoblastic leukemia is associated with a translocation or deletion of the long arm of chromosome 12.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AM L) is a neoplastic proliferation of myeloid hematopoietic stem cells or myeloid precursors including myeloblasts, monoblasts, erythroblasts and megakaryoblasts. According to the FAB classification, AML is classified into eight subtypes (M0-M7) depending on the cell type involved in the neoplastic process.
