TP53 Staining in Tissue Samples of Chronic Lymphocytic Lymphoma Cases: An Immunohistochemical Survey of 51 Cases.

ABSTRACT: Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is the most common lymphoproliferative disease in adults. The aim of this study is to find out if the extent of proliferation centers or the immunohistochemical expression of p53 is related to disease prognosis.In the scope of this study, 54 biopsy specimens from 51 patients (50 of lymph nodes; the others of spleen, tonsil, orbit, and liver) diagnosed with CLL at the Hacettepe University Department of Pathology in 2000-2013 were reevaluated. The clinical and demographic data of the patients were obtained from our patient database. Biopsy samples were assessed semi-quantitatively for the percentage of proliferation center/total biopsy area (PC/TBA) and an immunohistochemical study was performed on representative blocks of tissues for p53 expression.When the patients were divided into two categories according to Rai stage as high and low (stages 0, 1, and 2 vs. stages 3 and 4), it was seen that patients with low Rai stage had a better prognosis than those with high stages (p=0.030). However, there was no statistically significant correlation between overall survival and PC/TBA ratio or p53 expression levels.In our cohort, PC/TBA ratio and immunopositivity of p53 did not show correlations with overall survival.

Telomere status in chronic lymphocytic leukemia with TP53 disruption.

Project description:In chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), telomere dysfunction is associated with poor outcomes. TP53 is involved in cellular responses to dysfunctional telomeres, and its inactivation is the strongest adverse prognostic factor for CLL. Given the biological relationship between TP53 and telomeres, and their prognostic value, it is important to improve our understanding of the impact of TP53 alterations on telomeres. We performed a comprehensive study of the deletions and mutations of the TP53 gene and telomere parameters, including hTERT and the shelterin complex, in 115 CLL patients. We found that any type of TP53 alteration was associated with very short telomeres and high hTERT expression, independently of other biological CLL features. Patients with disrupted TP53 showed telomere deletions and chromosomal end-to-end fusions in cells with complex karyotypes. TP53 disruption was characterized by downregulation of shelterin genes. Interestingly, low expression of POT1, TPP1 and TIN2 was also found in some patients with wild-type TP53 and had an adverse impact on progression-free survival after standard genotoxic therapy. In conclusion, we have demonstrated that patients with disrupted TP53 have severe telomere dysfunction and high genomic instability. Thus, the telomeric profile could be tested as a biomarker in CLL patients treated with new therapeutic agents.

Epithelial Cell Extrusion Zones Observed on Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy Correlates with Immunohistochemical Staining of Mucosal Biopsy Samples.

Project description:The density of epithelial cell extrusion zones in the intestinal lining, also known as gap density (number of gaps/1000 epithelial cells counted), can be quantitated using probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy (pCLE). Gap density has been reported to be higher than normal in both inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) patients. Epithelial cells destined for extrusion from the intestinal surface would stain positive for either activated caspase-1 or caspase-3 on mucosal biopsy samples. The aim of this study was to determine whether epithelial gap density on pCLE correlates with quantitative analysis of activated caspase staining of mucosal biopsy samples from patients.We obtained pCLE images and biopsy samples of the terminal ileum during colonoscopies of healthy controls and patients with either IBD or IBS. The pCLE images and biopsy samples were blindly analyzed for gap density and for cells staining positive for activated caspases, respectively. The degree of correlation was determined using nonparametric statistical tests.The median results were 10 gaps/1000 cells counted for controls versus 33 gaps/1000 cells counted for chronic intestinal disorder patients (p = 0.02). Activated caspase staining showed 13 positive cells/1000 epithelial cells counted versus 26 positive cells/1000 epithelial cells counted, respectively (p = 0.02), thus showing a strong correlation with a Spearman's coefficient ? of 0.61 (strong correlation for ? = 0.4-0.75, p = 0.01).Intestinal epithelial gap density via pCLE correlated strongly with quantitative analysis of immunohistochemical staining of mucosal biopsy samples.

Clinical impact of small TP53 mutated subclones in chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

Project description:TP53 mutations are strong predictors of poor survival and refractoriness in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and have direct implications for disease management. Clinical information on TP53 mutations is limited to lesions represented in >20% leukemic cells. Here, we tested the clinical impact and prediction of chemorefractoriness of very small TP53 mutated subclones. The TP53 gene underwent ultra-deep-next generation sequencing (NGS) in 309 newly diagnosed CLL. A robust bioinformatic algorithm was established for the highly sensitive detection of few TP53 mutated cells (down to 3 out of ∼1000 wild-type cells). Minor subclones were validated by independent approaches. Ultra-deep-NGS identified small TP53 mutated subclones in 28/309 (9%) untreated CLL that, due to their very low abundance (median allele frequency: 2.1%), were missed by Sanger sequencing. Patients harboring small TP53 mutated subclones showed the same clinical phenotype and poor survival (hazard ratio = 2.01; P = .0250) as those of patients carrying clonal TP53 lesions. By longitudinal analysis, small TP53 mutated subclones identified before treatment became the predominant population at the time of CLL relapse and anticipated the development of chemorefractoriness. This study provides a proof-of-principle that very minor leukemia subclones detected at diagnosis are an important driver of the subsequent disease course.

The expanding role of venetoclax in chronic lymphocytic leukemia and small lymphocytic lymphoma.

Project description:The BCL-2 protein family members inhibit cellular apoptosis, and their overexpression represents a common survival adaption in cancer. Recently, a selective BCL-2 inhibitor ABT-199, venetoclax, has demonstrated remarkable activity in relapsed/refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL), both as a single agent and in combination with anti-CD20 immunotherapies, such as rituximab. In this article, we review the development and latest clinical data that have led to the expanded approval of venetoclax with rituximab in relapsed/refractory CLL/SLL. We also discuss ongoing and future clinical trials designed to evaluate the efficacy of venetoclax in previously untreated patients and to investigate venetoclax combinations with inhibitors of B-cell receptor signaling pathway. These studies hope to offer an expanded list of chemotherapy-free regimens for patients with CLL/SLL.

Dissecting the role of TP53 alterations in del(11q) chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

Project description:BackgroundSeveral genetic alterations have been identified as driver events in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) pathogenesis and oncogenic evolution. Concurrent driver alterations usually coexist within the same tumoral clone, but how the cooperation of multiple genomic abnormalities contributes to disease progression remains poorly understood. Specifically, the biological and clinical consequences of concurrent high-risk alterations such as del(11q)/ATM-mutations and del(17p)/TP53-mutations have not been established.MethodsWe integrated next-generation sequencing (NGS) and clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/Cas9 techniques to characterize the in vitro and in vivo effects of concurrent monoallelic or biallelic ATM and/or TP53 alterations in CLL prognosis, clonal evolution, and therapy response.ResultsTargeted sequencing analysis of the co-occurrence of high-risk alterations in 271 CLLs revealed that biallelic inactivation of both ATM and TP53 was mutually exclusive, whereas monoallelic del(11q) and TP53 alterations significantly co-occurred in a subset of CLL patients with a highly adverse clinical outcome. We determined the biological effects of combined del(11q), ATM and/or TP53 mutations in CRISPR/Cas9-edited CLL cell lines. Our results showed that the combination of monoallelic del(11q) and TP53 mutations in CLL cells led to a clonal advantage in vitro and in in vivo clonal competition experiments, whereas CLL cells harboring biallelic ATM and TP53 loss failed to compete in in vivo xenotransplants. Furthermore, we demonstrated that CLL cell lines harboring del(11q) and TP53 mutations show only partial responses to B cell receptor signaling inhibitors, but may potentially benefit from ATR inhibition.ConclusionsOur work highlights that combined monoallelic del(11q) and TP53 alterations coordinately contribute to clonal advantage and shorter overall survival in CLL.

TP53 gene mutation analysis in chronic lymphocytic leukemia by nanopore MinION sequencing.

Project description:BackgroundThe assessment of TP53 mutational status is becoming a routine clinical practice for chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients (CLL). A broad spectrum of molecular techniques has been employed so far, including both direct Sanger sequencing and next generation sequencing. Oxford Nanopore Technologies recently released the MinION an USB-interfaced sequencer. In this paper we report our experience, with the MinION technology for the detection of the TP53 gene mutation in CLL patients. Twelve CLL patients at diagnosis were included in this study. All except one patient showed the TP53 gene deletion in Fluorescence in situ hybridization experiments. Patients were investigated for TP53 mutation by Sanger and by MinION sequencing. Analysis by Sanger was performed according with the IARC protocol. Analysis by MinION was performed adopting a strategy based on long template PCR, read error correction, and post variant calling filtering.ResultsDue to the high error rate of nanopore technology, sequence data were both used directly and before correction with two different in silico methods: ALEC and nanocorrect. A mean error rate of 15 % was detected before correction that was reduced to 4-5 % after correction. Analysis by Sanger sequencing was able to detect four patients mutated for TP53. MinION analysis detected one more mutated patient previously not detected from Sanger.ConclusionIn our hands, the Nanopore technology shows correlation with Sanger sequencing but more sensitive, manageable and less expensive, and therefore has proven to be a useful tool for TP53 gene mutation detection.

Accurate interpretation of p53 immunohistochemical patterns is a surrogate biomarker for TP53 alterations in large B-cell lymphoma.

Project description:BackgroundTo clarify the relationship between p53 immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining and TP53 alterations (including mutations and deletions) in large B-cell lymphomas (LBCLs) and to explore the possibility of p53 IHC expression patterns as surrogate markers for TP53 alterations.MethodsA total of 95 patients diagnosed with LBCLs were selected, and paraffin samples were taken for TP53 gene sequencing, fluorescence in situ hybridization and p53 IHC staining. The results were interpreted by experienced pathologists and molecular pathologists.ResultsForty-three nonsynonymous TP53 mutations and p53 deletions were detected in 40 cases, whereas the remaining 55 cases had wild-type TP53 genes. The majority of TP53 mutations (34/43, 79.1%) occurred in exons 4-8, and R248Q was the most common mutation codon (4/43, 9.3%). The highest frequency single nucleotide variant was C > T (43.6%). p53 expression was interpreted as follows: Pattern A: p53 staining was positive in 0%-3% of tumor cells, Pattern B: p53 staining was positive in 4-65% of tumor cells, Pattern C: more than 65% of tumor cells were stained positive for p53. The p53 IHC expression patterns were associated with TP53 alterations. Gain of function variants and wild-type TP53 tended to exhibit type C and B p53 expression patterns, but loss of function variants were exclusively seen in type A cases. Additionally, interpretation of the staining by various observers produced significant reproducibility.ConclusionsThe p53 IHC expression patterns can be used to predict TP53 alterations and are reliable for diverse alteration types, making them possible surrogate biomarkers for TP53 alterations in LBCLs.

Immunohistochemical staining, laser capture microdissection, and filter-aided sample preparation-assisted proteomic analysis of target cell populations within tissue samples.

Project description:An important problem involves isolating subpopulations of cells defined by protein markers in clinical tissue samples for proteomic studies. We describe a method termed Immunohistochemical staining, laser capture microdissection (LCM) and filter-aided sample preparation (FASP)-Assisted Proteomic analysis of Target cell populations within tissue samples (ILFAPT). The principle of ILFAPT is that a target cell population expressing a protein of interest can be lit up by immunohistochemical staining and isolated from tissue sections using LCM for FASP and proteomic analysis. Using this method, we isolated a small population of CD90(+) stem-like cells from glioblastoma multiforme tissue sections and identified 674 high-confidence (false discovery rate < 0.01) proteins from 32 nL of CD90(+) cells by LC-MS/MS using an Orbitrap Elite mass spectrometer. We further quantified the relative abundance of proteins identified from equal volumes of LCM-captured CD90(+) and CD90(-) cells, where 109 differentially expressed proteins were identified. The major group of these differentially expressed proteins was relevant to cell adhesion and cellular movement. This ILFAPT method has demonstrated the ability to provide in-depth proteome analysis of a very small specific cell population within tissues. It can be broadly applied to the study of target cell populations within clinical specimens.
