Project description:Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) with ring sideroblasts are hematopoietic stem cell disorders with erythroid dysplasia and mutations in the SF3B1 splicing factor gene. Patients with MDS with SF3B1 mutations often accumulate excessive tissue iron, even in the absence of transfusions, but the mechanisms that are responsible for their parenchymal iron overload are unknown. Body iron content, tissue distribution, and the supply of iron for erythropoiesis are controlled by the hormone hepcidin, which is regulated by erythroblasts through secretion of the erythroid hormone erythroferrone (ERFE). Here, we identified an alternative ERFE transcript in patients with MDS with the SF3B1 mutation. Induction of this ERFE transcript in primary SF3B1-mutated bone marrow erythroblasts generated a variant protein that maintained the capacity to suppress hepcidin transcription. Plasma concentrations of ERFE were higher in patients with MDS with an SF3B1 gene mutation than in patients with SF3B1 wild-type MDS. Thus, hepcidin suppression by a variant ERFE is likely responsible for the increased iron loading in patients with SF3B1-mutated MDS, suggesting that ERFE could be targeted to prevent iron-mediated toxicity. The expression of the variant ERFE transcript that was restricted to SF3B1-mutated erythroblasts decreased in lenalidomide-responsive anemic patients, identifying variant ERFE as a specific biomarker of clonal erythropoiesis.

Project description:The 2016 revised World Health Organization classification identified myeloid neoplasms with germline predisposition as a new diagnostic category. Germline loss-of-function mutations in G6b (G6b-B, C6orf25 or MPIG6B) are associated with congenital macro-thrombocytopenia with focal myelofibrosis, a rare autosomal recessive disease. It is unclear whether germline G6b variants increase the risk of developing a myeloid neoplasm. Here we describe an adult with Myelodysplastic syndromes and a homozygous germline G6b mutation who achieved hematopoietic reconstitution by hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. As far as we know, this is the first report of adult Myelodysplastic syndromes with germline G6b homozygous variant in the literatures.

Project description:The outcomes of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) patients with SF3B1 mutation, despite identified as a favorable prognostic biomarker, are variable. To comprehend the heterogeneity in clinical characteristics and outcomes, we reviewed 140 MDS patients with SF3B1 mutation in Zhejiang province of China. Seventy-three (52.1%) patients diagnosed as MDS with ring sideroblasts (MDS-RS) following the 2016 World Health Organization (WHO) classification and 118 (84.3%) patients belonged to lower risk following the revised International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS-R). Although clonal hematopoiesis-associated mutations containing TET2, ASXL1 and DNMT3A were the most frequent co-mutant genes in these patients, RUNX1, EZH2, NF1 and KRAS/NRAS mutations had significant effects on overall survival (OS). Based on that we developed a risk scoring model as IPSS-R×0.4+RUNX1×1.1+EZH2×0.6+RAS×0.9+NF1×1.6. Patients were categorized into two subgroups: low-risk (L-R, score <= 1.4) group and high risk (H-R, score > 1.4) group. The 3-year OS for the L-R and H-R groups was 91.88% (95% CI, 83.27%-100%) and 38.14% (95% CI, 24.08%-60.40%), respectively (P<0.001). This proposed model distinctly outperformed the widely used IPSS-R. In summary, we constructed and validated a personalized prediction model of MDS patients with SF3B1 mutation that can better predict the survival of these patients.

Project description:Myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasm, unclassifiable (MDS/MPN-U) is a rare but heterogeneous subtype of MDS/MPN, with no specific genetic alterations and standard treatments. ASXL1, SRSF2, TET2, JAK2 and NRAS are commonly mutated in MDS/MPN-U. Double gene mutations could be detected in MDS/MPN-U, however, co-mutations of 3 and more genes in this disease entity are very rare. Here, we present a case of MDS/MPN-U with triple mutations involving JAK2, SF3B1, and TP53. After failure of traditional therapy including hydroxyurea and interferon-α, the patient received ruxolitinib monotherapy and achieved hematological response quickly. Though mutations in TP53 implied a poor prognosis in myeloid malignancies, this patient has maintained no AML transformation for 26 months since diagnosis. Further research on complex mutations in the pathogenesis and prognosis of MDS/MPN-U is warranted.

Project description:Acquired sideroblastic anemia, characterized by bone marrow ring sideroblasts (RS), is predominantly associated with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Although somatic mutations in splicing factor 3b subunit 1 (SF3B1), which is involved in the RNA splicing machinery, are frequently found in MDS-RS, the detailed mechanism contributing to RS formation is unknown. To explore the mechanism, we established human umbilical cord blood-derived erythroid progenitor-2 (HUDEP-2) cells stably expressing SF3B1K700E. SF3B1K700E expressing cells showed higher proportion of RS than the control cells along with erythroid differentiation, indicating the direct contribution of mutant SF3B1 expression in erythroblasts to RS formation. In SF3B1K700E expressing cells, ABCB7 and ALAS2, known causative genes for congenital sideroblastic anemia, were downregulated. Additionally, mis-splicing of ABCB7 was observed in SF3B1K700E expressing cells. ABCB7-knockdown HUDEP-2 cells revealed an increased frequency of RS formation along with erythroid differentiation, demonstrating the direct molecular link between ABCB7 defects and RS formation. ALAS2 protein levels were obviously decreased in ABCB7-knockdown cells, indicating decreased ALAS2 translation owing to impaired Fe-S cluster export by ABCB7 defects. Finally, RNA-seq analysis of MDS clinical samples demonstrated decreased expression of ABCB7 by the SF3B1 mutation. Our findings contribute to the elucidation of the complex mechanisms of RS formation in MDS-RS.
