HT-93, HT93 or HT-93A is a human hematopoietic cell line created in 1993 from peripheral blood of a 66-year-old male patient suffering from acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL, FAB subtype M3) that relapsed. This cell line grows in suspension and has a moderate doubling time of about 48-50 hours. Cytogenetic analysis reveals that HT-93 has the chromosomal translocations t(15;17)(q22;q12) which results in the oncogenic fusion gene PML-RARA typical for APL, and t(1;12)(p34;q13) which leads to the ETV6-ABL2 fusion gene.

HT-93 cells are positive for CD33 antigen and CD34 antigen and negative for lymphoid-associated markers, suggesting that they represent immature leukemia cells of myeloid lineage. Expression of the two fusion genes make HT-93 an attractive tool to study leukemic transformation, signal transduction and chromosomal instability in acute leukemias.

HT-93 cells have been used to study many aspects of APL including its pathogenesis, retinoic acid-mediated differentiation and pharmacological target discovery for the development of treatments against leukemia caused by these fusion proteins. Moreover, HT-93 cells have been used as a model system to study hematopoietic cell differentiation, drug resistance and kinase signaling mediated by rearrangements of ABL2.

Association of Kinesin Family Member 2A with Increased Disease Risk, Deteriorative Clinical Characteristics, and Shorter Survival Profiles in Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Ding et al. explored KIF2A expression correlation with AML risk, clinical characteristics, and prognosis, and investigated KIF2A knockdown effects on AML cell activities in vitro.

Bone marrow samples from 176 AML patients and 40 healthy donors were analyzed by qPCR. KIF2A was elevated in AML patients and predicted increased disease risk (AUC: 0.793, 95%CI: 0.724-0.826), correlating positively with white blood cells, monosomal karyotype, and high-risk stratification. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed KIF2A negatively correlated with event-free and overall survival. In vitro studies showed that KIF2A mRNA expression was elevated in KG-1, HL-60, ME-1, and HT-93 cell lines compared to CD34+ cells (Fig. 1A). KIF2A protein expression was also increased in KG-1, HL-60, ME-1, and HT-93 cell lines compared to CD34+ cells (Fig. 1B). In conclusion, KIF2A showed potential to be a biomarker and treatment target in AML.

RT-qPCR experiments were carried out in triplicate, and western blot was performed once.
