Chromosomal abberations and transcriptional characteristics linked to the pathogenesis of diffuse large b-cell lymphomas
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: We superimposed array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) data onto existing expression array profiles (GSE3892) to sift out the pivotal genes underlying the pathogenesis of a well defined series of diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCL). 280 gained and over-expressed genes were identified, located on chromosomes 1q, 3q, 7, 12p12, 18q and 21q. At the most frequently gained region the oncogene MDMX/MDM4 was concurrently over-expressed, which is a critical regulator of p53 function. In regions of frequent chromosomal loss, 36 genes were concurrently down-regulated, restricted to 6q and 15p. These putative tumor suppressor genes included PERP, MAP3K5, CCNDBP1 and β2M, and loss of 6q was associated with poor clinical outcome. Genes identified and chromosomal regions validated in an independent series of DLBCL patients. Keywords: comparative genomic hybridization
