Project description:AML/MDS patients carrying 11q amplifications involving the mixed lineage leukemia gene (MLL) locus are characterized by a later onset, a complex aberrant karyotype (CAK) frequently including deletions within 5q, 17p and 7q, as well as fast progression of the disease with extremely poor prognosis. We and other have shown that the MLL gene is over expressed in amplified cases, however, in most of the cases the amplified region is not restricted to the MLL locus. In the present study we investigated 19 patients with AML/MDS and MLL gain/amplification [15 AML (two secondary, following MDS and PV, and three therapy related) and 4 MDS cases (two therapy related)]. By means of array CGH performed in 12 patients (GSE9928) we were able to delineate the minimal deleted regions within 5q, 17p and 7q and identified three independent regions 11q/I-III that were amplified in all cases. Gene expression profiles established in 15 cases were used to define the candidate genes within these regions. Interestingly, analysis of our data suggests an interdependency of genes influenced by losses of 5q and 17p and expression of genes present in 11q23-25. Additionally, we demonstrate that the gene expression signature can be used to discriminate AML/MDS with MLL amplification from all other types of AML, thus, indicating specific pathogenesis present in this entity.

Project description:Chromosome 5q deletions (del(5q)) are common in high-risk (HR) Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) and Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML); however, the gene regulatory networks that sustain these aggressive diseases are unknown. Reduced miR-146a expression in del(5q) HR-MDS/AML and miR-146a-/- hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPC) results in TRAF6/NF-M-NM-:M-NM-^R activation. Increased survival and proliferation of HSPC from miR-146alow HR-MDS/AML is sustained by a neighboring haploid gene, SQSTM1 (p62), expressed from the intact 5q allele. Overexpression of p62 from the intact allele occurs through NF-M-NM-:B-dependent feedforward signaling mediated by miR-146a deficiency. p62 is necessary for TRAF6-mediated NF-M-NM-:B signaling, as disrupting the p62-TRAF6 signaling complex results in cell cycle arrest and apoptosis of MDS/AML cells. Thus, del(5q) HR-MDS/AML employs an intrachromosomal gene network involving loss of miR-146a and haploid overexpression of p62 via NF-M-NM-:B to sustain TRAF6/NF-M-NM-:B signaling for cell survival and proliferation. Interfering with the p62-TRAF6 signaling complex represents a therapeutic option in miR-146a-deficient and aggressive del(5q) MDS/AML. Four del(5q) MDS/AML patients with low miR-146a expression (5284, 8839, 8285, 4233) and 5 with high miR-146a expression (7957, 5534, 4688, 4982, 8412) were selected for microarray assay. RNA was reverse transcribed and labeled, and hybridized onto the GeneChip Human Gene 1.0 ST Array. A total of nine samples were included, and two groups are assigned based on miR-146a expression. Comparison comprises mRNA expression profile of low miR-146a group v.s. high miR-146a group.

Project description:Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are clonal disorders of hematopoietic progenitors characterized by ineffective hematopoiesis and high propensity to leukemias. Although a number of gene targets have been identified, in many MDS cases, particular genetic targets are unknown. In this study, we performed genome-wide profiling of copy number (CN) abnormalities and allelic imbalances in MDS genomes in order to clarify the distribution of LOH (loss of heterozygosity) and identify their target genes. We analyzed a total of 171MDS and MDS/MPD specimens, including 7 RA/RARS, 23 RCMD/RCMD-RS, 6 5q-syndrome, 30 RAEB-1, 40 RAEB-2, 4 therapy related-MDS/AML, 5 MDSu, 17 CMML-1, 16 CMML-2, 24 overt AML, using high-density SNP arrays. The data were analyzed by CNAG/AsCNAR software we specifically developed for allele-specific CN analysis and sensitive LOH detection. MDS showed characteristic CN profiles in SNP array analysis. Of particular interest is the finding of high frequency of CN-neutral LOH (Uniparental disomy,UPD), which were observed in 51 of 171 (30%) MDS cases. They preferentially involved 1p, 1q, 4q, 7q, 11q, 17p and other chromosomal segments, which were associated with homozygous mutations of both loss-of-function mutations and gain-of function mutations of tumor suppressor genes and cellular oncogenes, including TP53 (17p UPD), AML1/RUNX1 (21q UPD), Nras and cMPL (1p UPD), JAK-2 (9p UPD), and FLT3 (13q UPD). Next we tried to identify a new gene target in 11q UPD, which was most common UPD region in this study and many of these cases were CMML with a normal karyotype. The minimum 11q UPD segment is about 2Mb which existed in 11q23. We sequenced coding exons of c-cbl and detected homozygous mutations in 8 of 9 MDS cases with 11q UPD (CMML= 5, RAEB= 3, overt leukemia= 1), but very rare in cases without 11q UPD (1/162), demonstrating that the mutation is tightly linked to 11q UPD. These mutations were 8 point mutations and 1 micro-deletion, they were accumulated in the linker or RING domain. These c-cbl mutants can transform NIH3T3 in a dominant manner and these mutants are phosphorylated and activate PI3K-Akt pathway. To investigate the functions of these mutants in hematopoietic cells, we introduced these mutants into c-kit(+)Sca1(+)Lin(-) murine bone marrow cells, it prolonged replating capacity of these hematopoietic progenitors. Keywords: SNP-chip To identify oncogenic lesions in MDS, we performed a genome-wide analysis of primary MDS samples using high-density SNP arrays (Affymetrix GeneChip).

Project description:We assessed lineage involvement by NUP98 translocations in myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), acute myeloid leukemia (AML), and T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL). Single cell analysis by FICTION (Fluorescence Immunophenotype and Interphase Cytogenetics as a Tool for Investigation of Neoplasms) showed that NUP98-translocations with various partners, i.e. NSD1, DDX10, RAP1GDS1, and LNP1, always affected a CD34+/CD133+ hematopoietic precursor. Interestingly, in MDS/AML myelomonocytes, erythroid cells, B- and T- lymphocytes belonged to the abnormal clone, while in T-ALL only CD7+/CD3+ cells were involved. The partner did not appear to play a major role in determining the leukemia phenotype as shown in AML and T-ALL with the same NUP98-RAP1GDS1 fusion. Additional hits, namely mutations of FLT3 and CEBPA in MDS/AML and mutation of NOTCH1 plus MYB duplication in T-ALL, were identified in leukemias with, respectively, myeloid or T-lymphoid phenotype. Affymetrix SNP arrays were performed according to the manufacturer's directions on DNA extracted from cryopreserved diagnostic bone marrow or peripheral blood samples. Copy number and Copy neutral LOH analysis of with Affymetrix Cytogenetic 2.7 and Cytoscan HD SNP arrays was performed on 6 NUP98 rearranged leukemias.

Project description:The acquisition of uniparental disomy (aUPD) in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) results in homozygosity for known gene mutations. Uncovering novel regions of aUPD has the potential to identify previously unknown mutational targets, therefore, we aimed to develop a comprehensive map of the regions of aUPD in AML. Here, we have analyzed a large set of diagnostic AML samples (n=455) using genotype arrays. Acquired UPD was found in 17% of the samples with a non-random distribution particularly affecting chromosomes 13q, 11p and 11q. Novel recurrent regions of aUPD were uncovered at 2p, 17p, 2q, 17q, 1p and Xq. Overall, aUPDs were observed across all cytogenetic risk groups, although samples with aUPD13q (5.4% of samples) belonged exclusively to the intermediate-risk group. All cases with a high FLT3-ITD level, measured previously, had aUPD13q covering the FLT3 gene. Of the 120 aUPDs observed, the majority (87%) were due to mitotic recombination while only 13% were due to non-disjunction. This study demonstrates aUPD is a frequent and significant finding in AML and pinpoints regions that may contain novel mutational targets. Experiment Overall Design: Genomic DNA from 459 diagnostic AML samples were analysed using Affymetrix 10K 2.0 SNP arrays. Genomic DNA from the blood of ten unrelated controls was used as reference for all 459 AML samples. Remission DNA from 8 AML samples was also studied. Prevalence and regions of homozygosity were identified.

Project description:Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are uncommon entities, heterogeneous clinically and cytogenetically. Recently, a new drug, Lenalidomide, has demonstrated to be very effective in patients with MDS and 5q- reaching 70% of hematological responses whereas patients with MDS without 5q- has only 20-30% of hematological responses. The aim of the present study is to determine genetic alteration in this subset of patients, and describe candidate genes related with response or resistance to Lenalidomide. The aim of the present study is to determine genetic alteration in this subset of patients, and describe candidate genes related with response or resistance to Lenalidomide. Copy number analysis of Affymetrix GenomeWide SNP 6.0 arrays was performed for 2 patients with MDS an isolated 5q- by conventional cytogenetics. There are also 2 samples from separated CD3+ lymphocytes, which were used as references for copy number and LOH inference.
