Primary CLL B cells have been shown to secrete vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and secreted VEGF was shown to increase the resistance of leukemic CLL B cells to spontaneous and drug induced apoptosis through what is believed to be an autocrine loop [1]. We and others have shown that CLL B cells express VEGF receptor 1 (VEGF-R1) and 2 (VEGF-R2) which provide these cells with a capacity for VEGF binding [2]. While these receptors were shown to be expressed on tumor cells and are likely to be involved in both autocrine survival as well as neovascularization in tumor models, there is increasing evidence that another VEGF receptor, neuropilin-1 (NRP-1), is critical in these tumor angiogenic features and most likely involved in VEGF mediated resistance to apoptosis [3]. Aberrant NRP-1 expression has been shown in several solid tumors and acute myeloid leukemia. In the latter, NRP-1 expression was associated with shortened overall survival of these patients [4]. Recently, we have investigated NRP-1 expression in CLL and normal B cells. All CLL patients had a confirmed diagnosis using the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Working Group definition. Patients’ samples utilized in Western blot analysis were from all Rai stages where more than 90% of CD19+ and CD5+ CLL B cells were present as assessed by flow cytometry. Western blot was performed for 10 CLL patients using monoclonal anti-NRP-1 antibodies (Calbiochem, San Diego, CA) and showed NRP-1 protein expression in 7 of 10 patients (Fig. 1A). We also evaluated surface NRP-1 expression by flow cytometry (n= 5)(Fig. 1B). Patients in this cohort were from early Rai stages (0–2) and had a varying degree of lymphocytosis (median, 63,000× 109 L− 1; range, 6000–123,000).Isolated mononuclear cells were stained with monoclonal allophycocyanin labeled anti-CD19 antibodies (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA) and phycoerythrin labeled anti-NRP-1 antibodies (Miltenyi Biotec, Auburn, CA) and then analyzed by flow cytometry gating on CD19+ cells. Isotype-specific antibodies were used as controls. NRP-1 expression by flow was seen in two of five patients, but NRP-1 expression was not detected in three of three normal B cells obtained from healthy controls. Our results demonstrate, for the first time,
