Array CGH reveals genetic homogeneity and frequent copy number increases encompassing CCNE1 in Fallopian tube carcinoma

ABSTRACT: Fallopian tube carcinoma (FTC) is a rare, poorly studied and aggressive cancer, associated with poor survival. Since tumorigenesis is related to acquisition of genetic changes, we used genome-wide array CGH to analyze copy number aberrations occurring in FTC in order to obtain a better understanding of FTC carcinogenesis and to identify prognostic events and targets for therapy. We used arrays of 2464 genomic clones, providing ~1.4 Mb resolution across the genome to quantitatively map genomic DNA copy number aberrations from fourteen FTC onto the human genome sequence. All tumors showed a high frequency of copy number aberrations with recurrent gains on 3q, 6p, 7q, 8q, 12p, 17q, 19 and 20q, and losses involving chromosomes 4, 5q, 8p, 16q, 17p, 18q and X. Recurrent regions of amplification included 1p34, 8p11-q11, 8q24, 12p, 17p13, 17q12-q21, 19p13, 19q12-q13 and 19q13. Candidate, known oncogenes mapping to these amplicons included CMYC (8q24), CCNE1 (19q12-q21) and AKT2 (19q13), whereas PIK3CA and KRAS, previously suggested to be candidate driver genes for amplification mapped outside copy number maxima on 3q and 12p, respectively. The FTC were remarkably homogeneous, with some recurrent aberrations occurring in more than 70% of samples, which suggests a stereotyped pattern of tumor evolution.

Project description:Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorders (PTLD) are a major complication of solid organ transplantation and represent a cause of severe morbidity and mortality among transplanted patients. Apart from EBV infection, knowledge of the pathogenesis of monoclonal PTLD is limited. Powerful analysis techniques, such as whole genomic DNA profiling (arrayCGH), can improve our understanding of PTLD pathogenesis. Toward this aim, we obtained the whole genome profiling using the Affymetrix GeneChip Human Mapping 10k 2.0 from 20 cases of PTLD and we compared them with those assessed in 25 cases of DLBCL from immunocompetent patients, as a control group. Recurrent lesions were detected among all the samples. Chromosome 18q, 7q, 3q and 12 were the most common gains in DLBCL of immunocompetent hosts. Chromosomes 5p and 11p were commonly gained in PTLD-DLBCL. The latter had frequent losses of 6q, 17p, 1p, and 9p. Chromosome 12p was the most frequent target of deletions among PTLD-DLBCL. The LOH pattern was characterized by involvement of chromosomes 13q and 17p in DLBCL and 10, 1q, 9p and 11q among PTLD-DLBCL. Interestingly, LOH did not always match the DNA loss. In particular, chromosome 10 seemes to be targeted by uniparental disomy in PTLD. Small deletions and gains, involving both known (BCL2 and PAX5) and unknown genes (ZDHHC14), have been identified. Our data suggest that PTLD share, at a lower frequency, common genetic aberrations with DLBCL from immunocompetent patients. The demonstration of 9p13 amplification indicates the importance of PAX5 in PTLD. The combination of DNA copy number and LOH assessment lead to the hypothesis that uniparental disomy may be a potential mechanism in B-cell lymphomagenesis. Twenty specimens of monoclonal B-cell PTLD, collected from 20 solid organ transplant recipients. Experiment Overall Design: 20 PTLD samples. No technical replications. Experiment Overall Design: 25 DLBCL samples (20 patient + 5 cell lines). No technical replications.
