Protein Array Screening of Myelodysplastic Syndromes II

ABSTRACT: In a two-stage study we investigated levels of Immunoglobulin G (IgG) reactivity in plasma from Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) and Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) post MDS patients (59 and 16 cases respectively) as compared to healthy cohort (34). In Stage I we utilized high-throughput protein arrays (23 232 total signals, in duplicate) to identify proteins of high-interest. In Stage II we designed new protein arrays (352 total signals, in duplicate) to further focus on 25 of the proteins from Stage I and expanded to a larger cohort, including both male and female samples (161 MDS and 43 AML patients; 112 healthy controls). Stage I resulted in 35 proteins displaying increased IgG reactivity in patients as compared to the healthy controls (P< 4.3 x10-07, Bonferroni Corrected P<0.01). This protein subset included 14 proteins associated with cancer, 12 with apoptosis, and 3 with the NFAT Regulation canonical pathway. Using the focused arrays we performed a classification of MDS patients and healthy controls. Stage II subsequently identified a high-interest focused set of 3 proteins, namely AKT3, FCGR3A and ARL8B displaying aberrant increased reactivity in patient subgroups, in concordance with Stage I. Autoantibody reactivity against specific proteins provides complementary information to other known molecular signatures for MDS and may enhance our capabilities for detecting and classifying MDS. In the study presented here, MDS patients were classified into Stable, Transforming or AML post MDS (L) classes retrospectively. The different patients were compared to a healthy cohort to assess increased autoantibody reactivity to specific patients as opposed to healthy groups Stage 2 of study: 633 Files analyzed for: 316 Patients in duplicate and a negative control. The proteins on the array were selected following a first stage using ProtoArrays

Project description:Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are a group of clonal hematological disorders characterized by ineffective hematopoiesis with morphological evidence of marrow cell dysplasia resulting in peripheral blood cytopenia. Microarray technology has permitted a refined high-throughput mapping of the transcriptional activity in the human genome. Noncoding-RNAs (ncRNAs) transcribed from intronic regions of genes are involved in a number of processes related to post-transcriptional control of gene expression, and in the regulation of exon-skipping and intron retention. Characterization of ncRNAs in progenitor cells and stromal cells of MDS patients could be strategic for understanding gene expression regulation in this disease. In this study, gene expression profiles of CD34+ and stromal cells of MDS patients with refractory anemia with ringed sideroblasts (RARS) subgroup were compared those of healthy individuals, using 44k combined intron-exon oligoarrays, which included probes for protein-coding genes, for sense and antisense strands of totally intronic noncoding (TIN) and for partially intronic noncoding (PIN) RNAs. In CD34+ cells of MDS-RARS patients, 217 genes were significantly differentially expressed (q-value < 0.01) in comparison to healthy individuals, of which 68 (31%) were noncoding transcripts. In stromal cells of MDS-RARS, 13 genes were significantly differentially expressed (q-value < 0.05) in comparison to healthy individuals, of which 4 (30%) were noncoding transcripts. These results demonstrated, for the first time, in CD34+ cells and stromal cells the differential ncRNA expression profile between MDS-RARS and healthy individuals, suggesting that ncRNAs may play an important role during the development of myelodysplastic syndromes. Bone marrow (BM) CD34+ cell samples were collected from 4 healthy subjects and from 4 MDS patients. Stromal samples were collected from 4 healthy subjects and 3 MDS patients. All patients were diagnosed as RARS according to the French-American-British (FAB) classification and did not present chromosomal abnormalities; they received no growth factors or any further MDS treatment.
