Nanopore sequencing for the screening of myeloid and lymphoid neoplasms with eosinophilia and rearrangement of PDGFRα, PDGFRβ, FGFR1 or PCM1-JAK2

ABSTRACT: Eosinophilia represents a group of diseases with heterogeneous pathobiology and clinical phenotypes. Among the alterations found in primary Eosinophilia, gene fusions involving PDGFRα, PDGFRβ, FGFR1 or JAK2 represent the biomarkers of WHO-defined “myeloid and lymphoid neoplasms with eosinophilia”. The heterogeneous nature of genomic aberrations and the promiscuity of fusion partners, may limit the diagnostic accuracy of current cytogenetics approaches. To address such technical challenges, we exploited a nanopore-based sequencing assay to screen patients with primary Eosinophilia. The comprehensive sequencing approach described here enables the identification of genomic fusion in 60 h, starting from DNA purified from whole blood.

Nanopore Sequencing for the screening of Myeloid and Lymphoid neoplasms with eosinophilia and rearrangement of PDGFRa, PDGFRb, FGFR1 or PCM1-JAK2.

Project description:Primary Eosinophilic Disorders (PED) represent a group of diseases with heterogeneous pathophysiology and diversified clinical phenotypes. Among the clonal alterations found in PED, gene fusions involving PDGFR, PDGFR, FGFR1 or JAK2 cluster in the WHO category of myeloid and lymphoid neoplasms with eosinophilia. The heterogeneous nature of genomic aberrations and the promiscuity of fusion partners, may limit the diagnostic accuracy of conventional cytogenetic approaches. To address such technical challenges, we exploited a nanopore-based sequencing platform to screen a cohort of patients referred for the characterization of a PED. We show that nanopore sequencing enables fast (within 60 hours) and precise identification of genomic fusion events, starting from whole blood DNA.

Myeloid/Lymphoid Neoplasm With FGFR1 Rearrangement Accompanying RUNX1 and NOTCH1 Gene Mutations.

Project description:Background: Myeloid/Lymphoid Neoplasm with FGFR1 Rearrangement is a rare kind of hematological malignant disease. Case presentation: A 37-year-old male patient experienced three distinct disease stages from myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN), T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma (T-LBL) to a much more complexed phage of a mixed phenotype acute leukemia (MPAL). Both genetic and genomic alternations were detected including chromosomal abnormality and genic mutations. Result: Karyotyping and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis of either bone marrow or lymph node sample confirmed the presence of the FGFR1 rearrangement. Amplifications of RUNX1, ERG, and U2AF1 genes were identified by next generation sequencing. Furthermore, a frame-shift variant of F330fs*>149 in the RUNX1 gene and a missense mutation of R2263Q in NOTCH1 were also detected. Conclusion: The FGFR1 rearrangement functions as a trigging oncogenic event. Then other genetic events such as RUNX1 and/or NOTCH1 alternations further lead to progression of disease with trilineage blasts assignment.

Mosaic Mutant Analysis Identifies PDGFRα/PDGFRβ as Negative Regulators of Adipogenesis.

Project description:Adipocyte progenitors (APs) express platelet-derived growth factor receptors (PDGFRs), PDGFRα and PDGFRβ. Elevated PDGFRα signaling inhibits adipogenesis and promotes fibrosis; however, the function of PDGFRs in APs remains unclear. We combined lineage tracing and functional analyses in a sequential dual-recombinase approach that creates mosaic Pdgfr mutant cells by Cre/lox recombination with a linked Flp/frt reporter to track individual cell fates. Using mosaic lineage labeling, we show that adipocytes are derived from the Pdgfra lineage during postnatal growth and adulthood. In contrast, adipocytes are only derived from the mosaic Pdgfrb lineage during postnatal growth. Functionally, postnatal mosaic deletion of PDGFRα enhances adipogenesis and adult deletion enhances β3-adrenergic-receptor-induced beige adipocyte formation. Mosaic deletion of PDGFRβ also enhances white, brown, and beige adipogenesis. These data show that both PDGFRs are cell-autonomous inhibitors of adipocyte differentiation and implicate downregulation of PDGF signaling as a critical event in the transition from AP to adipocyte.

PDGFRβ regulates craniofacial development through homodimers and functional heterodimers with PDGFRα.

Project description:Craniofacial development is a complex morphogenetic process, disruptions in which result in highly prevalent human birth defects. While platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) receptor α (PDGFRα) has well-documented functions in this process, the role of PDGFRβ in murine craniofacial development is not well established. We demonstrate that PDGFRα and PDGFRβ are coexpressed in the craniofacial mesenchyme of mid-gestation mouse embryos and that ablation of Pdgfrb in the neural crest lineage results in increased nasal septum width, delayed palatal shelf development, and subepidermal blebbing. Furthermore, we show that the two receptors genetically interact in this lineage, as double-homozygous mutant embryos exhibit an overt facial clefting phenotype more severe than that observed in either single-mutant embryo. We reveal a physical interaction between PDGFRα and PDGFRβ in the craniofacial mesenchyme and demonstrate that the receptors form functional heterodimers with distinct signaling properties. Our studies thus uncover a novel mode of signaling for the PDGF family during vertebrate development.

t(8;9)(p22;p24)/PCM1-JAK2 activates SOCS2 and SOCS3 via STAT5.

Project description:Fusions of the tyrosine kinase domain of JAK2 with multiple partners occur in leukemia/lymphoma where they reportedly promote JAK2-oligomerization and autonomous signalling, Affected entities are promising candidates for therapy with JAK2 signalling inhibitors. While JAK2-translocations occur in myeloid, B-cell and T-cell lymphoid neoplasms, our findings suggest their incidence among the last group is low. Here we describe the genomic, transcriptional and signalling characteristics of PCM1-JAK2 formed by t(8;9)(p22;p24) in a trio of cell lines established at indolent (MAC-1) and aggressive (MAC-2A/2B) phases of a cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL). To investigate signalling, PCM1-JAK2 was subjected to lentiviral knockdown which inhibited 7 top upregulated genes in t(8;9) cells, notably SOCS2/3. SOCS3, but not SOCS2, was also upregulated in a chronic eosinophilic leukemia bearing PCM1-JAK2, highlighting its role as a central signalling target of JAK2 translocation neoplasia. Conversely, expression of GATA3, a key T-cell developmental gene silenced in aggressive lymphoma cells, was partially restored by PCM1-JAK2 knockdown. Treatment with a selective JAK2 inhibitor (TG101348) to which MAC-1/2A/2B cells were conspicuously sensitive confirmed knockdown results and highlighted JAK2 as the active moiety. PCM1-JAK2 signalling required pSTAT5, supporting a general paradigm of STAT5 activation by JAK2 alterations in lymphoid malignancies. MAC-1/2A/2B--the first JAK2-translocation leukemia/lymphoma cell lines described--display conspicuous JAK/STAT signalling accompanied by T-cell developmental and autoimmune disease gene expression signatures, confirming their fitness as CTCL disease models. Our data support further investigation of SOCS2/3 as signalling effectors, prognostic indicators and potential therapeutic targets in cancers with JAK2 rearrangements.

Concomitant Myeloproliferative and Lymphoid Neoplasms in Two Patients Positive for JAK2 V617F Mutation. Case Report and Literature Review.

Project description:The coexistence of both myeloproliferative and lymphoproliferative neoplasms in the same patient is an uncommon finding. We report two patients who presented such an association. The first patient was initially diagnosed with essential thrombocythemia, developing a clinical and haematological picture consistent with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia several years afterwards. The second patient was diagnosed concomitantly with polycythaemia vera and chronic lymphocytic leukaemia. Both patients were positive for the JAK2 V617F mutation. In the first patient the chronic lymphocytic leukaemia was asymptomatic, stage A, and did not require any additional treatment, while the second patient presented with generalized large lymphadenopathy (stage B) and chronic lymphocytic leukaemia-related symptoms, requiring chronic lymphocytic leukaemia-directed treatment. It is unclear whether there is a pathogenetic link between the myeloproliferative and lymphoproliferative diseases encountered in these patients, both being probably the result of random mutations occurring in distinct initiating cells. However, given the higher risk of lymphoproliferative neoplasms development in myeloproliferative neoplasms patients reported in larger studies, the genomic instability characteristic to myeloproliferative neoplasms may play a role in subsequent lymphoproliferative neoplasms occurrence.

T-Cell Lymphoblastic Lymphoma Arising in the Setting of Myeloid/Lymphoid Neoplasms with Eosinophilia: LMO2 Immunohistochemistry as a Potentially Useful Diagnostic Marker.

Project description:Rarely, T-lymphoblastic lymphoma (T-LBL) may develop in the setting of myeloid/lymphoid neoplasms with eosinophilia (M/LNs-Eo), a group of diseases with gene fusion resulting in overexpression of an aberrant tyrosine kinase or cytokine receptor. The correct identification of this category has relevant therapeutic implications. LIM domain only 2 (LMO2) is overexpressed in most T-LBL, but not in immature TdT-positive T-cells in the thymus and in indolent T-lymphoblastic proliferations (iT-LBP). We retrospectively evaluated 11 cases of T-LBL occurring in the context of M/LNs-Eo. Clinical, histological, immunohistochemical and molecular features were collected and LMO2 immunohistochemical staining was performed. The critical re-evaluation of these cases confirmed the diagnosis of T-LBL with morphological, immunohistochemical and molecular features consistent with T-LBL occurring in M/LNs-Eo. Interestingly, LMO2 immunohistochemical analysis was negative in 9/11 cases, whereas only 2 cases revealed a partial LMO2 expression with a moderate and low degree of intensity, respectively. LMO2 may represent a potentially useful marker to identify T-LBL developing in the context of M/LNs-Eo. In this setting, T-LBL shows LMO2 immunohistochemical profile overlapping with cortical thymocytes and iT-LBP, possibly reflecting different molecular patterns involved in the pathogenesis of T-LBL arising in the setting of M/LNs-Eo.

Therapy with JAK2 inhibitors for myeloproliferative neoplasms.

Project description:The development of JAK2 inhibitors followed the discovery of activating mutation of JAK2 (JAK2V617F) in patients with classic Philadelphia-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (Ph-negative MPN). It is now known that mutations activating the JAK-STAT pathway are ubiquitous in Ph-negative MPN, and that the deregulated JAK-STAT pathway plays a central role in the pathogenesis of these disorders. JAK2 inhibitors thus are effective in patients both with and without the JAK2V617F mutation. This article reviews the rationale for using JAK2 inhibitors in Ph-negative MPN, and the results of more recent clinical trials with these drugs.
