Brief Summary:
The investigators hypothesize that Lipoprotein Lipase (LPL) expression on Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) cells will predict a more aggressive clinical course. The results from this proposal will validate the use of a novel antibody developed at Dartmouth-Hitchcock in CLL and will predict CLL patients that have a more aggressive form of the disease. The investigators work will also provide direct evidence that LPL is expressed on CLL cells and provides a critical source of fatty acids required by the CLL cells to grow and survive. Fatty acid metabolism may become a therapeutic target in CLL in the future.

Condition or disease
Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia

Detailed Description:
The investigators plan to use a novel antibody developed at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center to characterize the expression of LPL in CLL. Peripheral blood from CLL patients will be analyzed by flow cytometry to detect the expression of LPL and to investigate if LPL expression correlates with a more aggressive type of CLL. The investigators propose that LPL protein expression on CLL cells is prognostic and that LPL and other proteins involved in fatty acid metabolism are critical for CLL cells to survive.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Groups and Cohorts Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. LPL Protein Expression [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
    Determine the degree of LPL protein expression in CLL cells using a novel LPL antibody, correlate with IgHV mutation status, and compare this association with other prognostic markers


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Fatty acid acquisition and synthesis [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
    Demonstrate that CLL cells also possess the enzymatic machinery for fatty acid acquisition and synthesis as shown by the expression of LPL, CD36, SDC1, and fatty acid synthase


Biospecimen Retention:   Samples With DNA
10 cc of peripheral blood and Archived lymph node tissue or bone marrow samples
