Xu Z, Yu J, Chen Y. Hub genes and associated drugs for multiple myeloma with 1q21+: identified by bioinformatic analysis. Hematology 2024; 29:2323890. [PMID: 38433435 DOI: 10.1080/16078454.2024.2323890] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2023] [Accepted: 02/22/2024] [Indexed: 03/05/2024] Open
Abstract
While 1q21+ was common genetic alteration and found to have adverse effect on prognosis, the underlying genes remain unclear. Identification of related genes may provide additional help for rational intervention. The microarray dataset GSE2658 associated with MM was downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. The differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were obtained, and Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analyses were performed to annotate their functions. The hub genes were derived from the combined results of up-regulated DEGs and weighted gene coexpression network analysis (WGCNA). The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves of hub genes were plotted to evaluate correlation with 1q21+. Survival analysis and drug-gene interaction of hub genes were performed separately to find the prognostic value and potential targeted drugs. A total of 55 DEGs were identified. GO and KEGG pathway analyses suggested that the DEGs were related to several pathways of cell proliferation. NVL, IL6R, DUSP23 were proven to be highly correlated with 1q21+ and have adverse effects on prognosis. IL6R, DUSP23 were matched to known interaction-drug. This study revealed potential roles of hub genes in the pathogenesis and progression of MM with 1q21+, further investigations are needed to elucidate the mechanisms.

Fluorescence in situ hybridization reveals the evolutionary biology of minor clone of gain/amp(1q) in multiple myeloma. Leukemia 2024; 38:1299-1306. [PMID: 38609496 PMCID: PMC11147758 DOI: 10.1038/s41375-024-02237-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/13/2023] [Revised: 03/21/2024] [Accepted: 03/26/2024] [Indexed: 04/14/2024]
Abstract
Growing evidence suggests that gain or amplification [gain/amp(1q)] accumulates during disease progression of multiple myeloma (MM). Previous investigations have indicated that small gain/amp(1q) subclones present at the time of diagnosis may evolve into dominant clones upon MM relapse. However, the influence of a minor clone of gain/amp(1q) on MM survival, as well as the correlation between different clonal sizes of gain/amp(1q) and the chromosomal instability (CIN) of MM, remains poorly understood. In this study, we analyzed fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) results of 998 newly diagnosed MM (NDMM) patients. 513 patients were detected with gain/amp(1q) at diagnosis. Among these 513 patients, 55 had a minor clone (≤20%) of gain/amp(1q). Patients with a minor clone of gain/amp(1q) displayed similar survival outcomes compared to those without gain/amp(1q). Further analysis demonstrated patients with a minor clone of gain/amp(1q) exhibited a clonal architecture similar to those without gain/amp(1q). Lastly, our results showed a significant increase in the clonal size of the minor clone of gain/amp(1q), frequently observed in MM. These findings suggested that a minor clone of gain/amp(1q) might represent an earlier stage in the pathogenesis of gain/amp(1q) and propose a "two-step" process in the clonal size changes of gain/amp(1q) in MM.

Abstract
1q21+ is a common cytogenetic abnormality in multiple myeloma (MM) and is considered an independent predictor of poor prognosis; however, its impact on extramedullary disease (EMD) remains unknown. Our study reviewed the clinical relevance and prognostic value of 1q21+ status in 92 patients with NDMM and EMD. 1q21+ was detected in 23.9% (22/92) of patients. Patients with 1q21+ presented with advanced International Staging System stages (P = 0.006), lower level of hemoglobin (P = 0.004), higher percentage of plasma cells in the bone marrow (P < 0.001), higher level of serum β2-microglobulin (7.24 g/L vs. 3.85 g/L, P = 0.003), and higher levels of lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) (206.5 U/L vs. 177 U/L, P = 0.019). The prevalence of soft tissue-related EMD (EMD-S) (54.5% vs. 18.6%, P < 0.001), renal dysfunction (50.5% vs. 17.7%, P = 0.002), and hypercalcemia (27.3% vs. 7.1%, P = 0.011) was also higher. 1q21+ was strongly associated with other high-risk cytogenetic abnormalities, including IgH/FGFR3 (22.7% vs. 4.3%, P = 0.007) and IgH/MAF translocations (22.7% vs. 1.4%, P < 0.001). 1q21+ patients had significantly shorter overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) (OS: 24 months vs. 47 months, P = 0.002; PFS: 14 months vs. 38 months, P < 0.001); the poor survival outcomes could not be reversed by autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Multivariate analysis suggested that 1q21+ , EMD-S, elevated lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels, and P53 deletion were independent risk factors for poor prognosis in patients with EMD. In patients with 1q21+ EMD, hypercalcemia, elevated LDH levels, and P53 deletion were independent adverse risk prognostic factors.

Real-world advantage and challenge of post-autologous stem cell transplantation MRD negativity in high-risk patients with double-hit multiple myeloma. BMC Cancer 2024; 24:406. [PMID: 38565996 PMCID: PMC10985970 DOI: 10.1186/s12885-024-12077-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/09/2023] [Accepted: 03/03/2024] [Indexed: 04/04/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Autologous stem-cell transplantation (ASCT) remains a beneficial approach for patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM) in the age of novel therapeutic agents. Nevertheless, limited real-world data is available to establish criteria for identifying high-risk ASCT patients. METHODS We analyzed outcomes for 168 NDMM patients who underwent ASCT at our center from December 2015 to December 2022. We investigated the impact of the number of high-risk cytogenetics (HRCA), defined as t(4;14), t(14;16), 1q21 gain/amplification, and del(17p), as well as the post-ASCT minimal residual disease (MRD) status as prognostic indicators. We assessed progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS), and focused on identifying risk factors. RESULTS The cohort included 42% of patients (n = 71) with 0 HRCA, 42% (n = 71) with 1 HRCA, and 16% (n = 26) with ≥ 2 HRCA. After a median follow-up of 31 months, the median PFS was 53 months (95% CI, 37-69), and OS was not reached for the entire cohort. Despite similar rates of MRD-negativity post-ASCT, patients with ≥ 2 HRCA, termed "double hit" (DH), had a significantly higher risk of progression/mortality than those with 0 or 1 HRCA. Multivariate analysis highlighted DH (HR 4.103, 95% CI, 2.046-8.231) and MRD positivity post-ASCT (HR 6.557, 95% CI, 3.217-13.366) as adverse prognostic factors for PFS, with DH also linked to inferior OS. As anticipated, DH patients with post-ASCT MRD positivity displayed the poorest prognosis, with a median PFS of 7 months post-ASCT. Meanwhile, DH patients with MRD negativity post-ASCT showed improved prognosis, akin to MRD-negative non-DH patients. It is noteworthy to exercise caution, as DH patients who initially achieved MRD negativity experienced a 41% cumulative loss of that status within one year. CONCLUSIONS This study strongly advocates integrating DH genetic assessments for eligible ASCT patients and emphasizes the importance of ongoing MRD monitoring, as well as considering MRD-based treatment adaptation for those patients in real-world settings.

Abstract
This multicenter, open-label, single-arm trial (ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT05236621) was conducted to confirm the efficacy and safety of generic pomalidomide plus dexamethasone in Chinese patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM). Total 79 eligible RRMM patients were planned to be included. Patients were treated with generic pomalidomide (4 mg daily on days 1-21, orally) and low-dose dexamethasone (40 mg/day on days 1, 8, 15, and 22, orally; 20 mg for patients aged > 75 years) in 28-day cycles until disease progression with a maximum treatment duration of 2 years. The primary endpoint is the overall response rate (ORR) assessed by the independent review committee per the 2016 International Myeloma Working Group guidelines. A total of 85 eligible patients were included in this study from 32 centers in China, with a median age of 62.0 (range, 39-76) years, a median prior line of therapy of 4 (range, 1-16), and 41.2% patients with high-risk cytogenetics. The ORR was 38.8% (95% confidence interval (CI), 28.44-50.01). The disease control rate was 67.1% (95% CI, 56.02-76.87), meanwhile, the median progression-free survival was 5.55 months (95% CI, 3.68-7.52). Among the treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs), infective pneumonia (17.6%) was the most frequent non-hematologic adverse event, while a decrease in neutrophil count (52.9%) was the most common grade ≥ 3 TRAE. The study results indicated that the generic pomalidomide demonstrated consistent efficacy and a safety profile similar to the branded pomalidomide when combined with low-dose dexamethasone in Chinese RRMM patients.Registration number ClinicalTrials.gov NCT05236621, retrospectively registered on February 11, 2022.

Zhou Q, Wen J, Xu F, Yue J, Zhang Y, Su J, Liu Y. Efficacy Analysis of Bortezomib Combined with Lenalidomide in Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma with 1q21 Gain/Amp. Technol Cancer Res Treat 2024; 23:15330338241252605. [PMID: 38759699 PMCID: PMC11102689 DOI: 10.1177/15330338241252605] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/27/2023] [Revised: 04/15/2024] [Accepted: 04/17/2024] [Indexed: 05/19/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE 1q21 gain/Amp is one of the most common cytogenetic abnormalities. There are controversies about its effects on prognosis and may be associated with inferior outcomes in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM). To explore the optimal induction treatment, we analyzed and compared the efficacy of combinations of bortezomib-lenalidomide-dexamethasone (VRD) and only bortezomib-based triplet regimens without lenalidomide (only bortezomib-based) as induction therapy in patients with NDMM with 1q21 gain/Amp. METHODS Seventy-six NDMM patients with 1q21 gain/Amp who were admitted to our center from 2016 to 2022 were retrospectively analyzed in this study. The progression and efficacy of the patients were observed. RESULTS Within our study group, the overall survival rate stood at 75.0%, and the progression-free survival (PFS) rate reached 40.8% in NDMM patients with 1q21 gain/Amp. The best outcome assessment was that 17.1% achieved complete response (CR) and 44.7% achieved very good partial response (VGPR). Patients in the VRD group had a deeper response (VGPR: 63.6% vs 37.0%, P = 0.034), lower disease progression rate (31.8% vs 70.3%, P = 0.002), longer sustained remission (median 49.7 months vs 18.3 months, P = 0.030), and longer PFS (median 61.9 months vs 22.9 months, P = 0.032) than those treated with only bortezomib-based induction therapy. No significant differences were found among patients with partial response or better (86.4% vs 77.8%, P = 0.532) or CR (27.3% vs 13.0%, P = 0.180). Multivariate analysis showed that only bortezomib-based induction therapy (P = 0.003, HR 0.246, 95% CI 0.097-0.620), International Staging System stage III (P = 0.003, HR 3.844, 95% CI 1.588-9.308) and LMR <3.6 (P = 0.032, HR 0.491, 95% CI 0.257-0.940) were significantly associated with adverse PFS. CONCLUSIONS When compared with the sequential administration of bortezomib and lenalidomide or only bortezomib-based protocols, NDMM patients with 1q21 gain/Amp may benefit more from VRD as initial treatments.

Abstract
Multiple myeloma (MM) represents a hematological neoplasia with an uncontrolled proliferation of malignant plasma cells and complex cytogenetic abnormalities. t(11;14) has emerged as a crucial genetic aberration and is one of the most common primary translocations in MM. Patients harboring t(11;14) represent a distinctive subgroup with a clinical profile that differs from t(11;14)-negative MM risk categories. One of the key features linked with t(11;14) is the BCL2 dependency, indicating vulnerability to BCL2 inhibition. BCL2 inhibitors, such as venetoclax, demonstrated impressive efficacy alone or in combination with other anti-myeloma drugs in patients with RRMM accompanied by t(11;14) and BCL2 overexpression. Therefore, t(11;14) plays a key role in both risk stratification and informed decision making towards a tailored therapy. In this review, we highlight the biology of t(11;14) in MM cells, summarize the current evolving role of t(11;14) in the era of novel agents and novel targeted therapies, illuminate current efficacy and safety data of BCL2-based treatment options and explore the future prospects of individualized precision medicine for this special subgroup of patients with MM.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the prognostic value of Mayo MASS and R2-ISS staging systems in patients newly diagnosed with multiple myeloma (MM) . Methods: A total of 371 patients newly diagnosed with MM in Jiangsu Province Hospital were included in the study. Cytoplasmic light chain immunofluorescence with fluorescence in situ hybridization (cIg-FISH) was performed to detect cytogenetic abnormality. Clinical characteristics were combined to analyze the disease stage and evaluate the prognosis. Results: There were 37 (10.0%), 264 (71.0%), and 70 (18.8%) patients in R-ISS stage Ⅰ, Ⅱ, and Ⅲ, respectively. The median progression-free survival (PFS) times were 37, 25, and 14 months (P<0.001). The median overall survival (OS) times were not reached (NR), 66, and 30 months (P<0.001). There were 71 (19.1%), 140 (37.7%), and 160 (43.2%) patients in Mayo MASS stages Ⅰ, Ⅱ, and Ⅲ, and the median PFS times periods were 43, 27, and 19 months (P<0.001), and the median OS times were NR, NR, 35 months, respectively (P<0.001). There were, 23 (6.2%), 69 (18.6%), 222 (59.8%), and 57 (15.4%) patients in R2-ISS stages Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ, and Ⅳ, respectively. The median PFS times were 47, 31, 25, and 15 months (P=0.001), and the median OS times were NR, NR, 49, and 55 months, respectively (P<0.001) . Conclusion: Based on the R-ISS staging system, Mayo MASS, and R2-ISS prognostic staging system incorporated 1q21+, which allows a better stratification. However, the proportion of stage Ⅲ patients in Mayo MASS and R2-ISS staging systems is relatively high, which is considered related to the high incidence of 1q21+ and ISS Ⅲ in the Chinese population.

Abstract
Patients with multiple myeloma (MM) who do not respond to initial therapy have worse outcomes than primary responders, and effective treatments are lacking in this population. However, the outcomes of primary refractory disease in the modern treatment era have not yet been studied. We reviewed patients with MM treated with triplet/quadruplet therapy at our institution to assess the incidence of primary refractory disease and the impact of salvage therapies in this population. We identified 1127 patients, of whom 1086 were evaluated for hematologic responses after 4 to 6 cycles. Of these, 93.3% (1013) had evidence of response, whereas 6.7% (73) had primary refractory disease. With a median overall survival (OS) of 51.3 months, patients with primary refractory disease had an increased risk of shorter survival in univariable and multivariable analyses (hazard ratio [HR], 3.5 [95% confidence interval (CI), 2.5-4.9]; HR, 4.3 [95% CI, 2.6-6.9], respectively). In the subgroup analysis of patients with primary refractory disease, those who received second-line autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) had increased second progression-free survival (20.9 vs 8.1 months; P < .01) and second OS (74.7 vs 31.3 months; P = .02) compared with patients who did not. We conclude that early progression remains a significant factor for shorter OS in the current era, and salvage ASCT could be the most beneficial option for this population.

Abstract
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a biologically heterogeneous malignancy defined by the proliferation of monoclonal plasma cells. Despite the tremendous advancement in MM treatment over the past decades, relapse remains a major problem which is inevitable for most patients. In particular, a partial of patients with early relapse and poor outcomes are classified as a high-risk group. Apart from the clinical stage, genetic aberrations are now recognized as important prognostic factors for identifying high-risk patients. Chromosome 1 abnormalities (C1As), particularly 1q21 gain or amplification, have been identified as common genetic aberrations in patients with MM and are often considered unfavorable prognostic markers for progression-free survival and overall survival. However, more effective therapeutic approaches are still needed to overcome the negative impact of C1As. Therefore, we summarize the prevalence, pathogenesis, clinical significance and present therapeutic condition of C1As in MM, and attempt to conclude the precise and personalized management for patients with C1As.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the clinical characteristics and risk factors of ultra-high-risk (UHR) patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (MM). METHODS We screened UHR patients with a survival of less than 24 months and we selected patients with a concurrent survival of more than 24 months as a control group. We retrospectively analyzed the clinical characteristics of UHR patients with newly diagnosed MM and screened related risk factors. RESULTS In total we analyzed 477 patients, which included 121 (25.4%) UHR patients and 356 (74.6%) control patients. Median overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) of UHR patients was 10.5 months (7.5-13.5 months) and 6.3 months (5.4-7.2 months), respectively. Univariate logistic regression analysis showed that age > 65 years, hemoglobin (HGB) < 100 g/L, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) > 250 U/L, serum creatinine (SCr) > 2 mg/dL, corrected serum calcium (CsCa) > 2.75 mmol/L, B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) or N-terminal prohormone BNP (NT-proBNP) > 2 upper limit of normal (ULN), high-risk cytogenetics, Barthel index score, and International Staging System (ISS) stage III were associated with UHR MM. In a multivariate analysis, age > 65 years, LDH > 250 U/L, CsCa > 2.75 mmol/L, BNP or NT-proBNP > 2 ULN, high-risk cytogenetics, and Barthel index score were independent risk factors for UHR MM. Moreover, UHR patients had a worse response rate than control patients. CONCLUSION Our study highlighted the characteristics of UHR MM patients and suggested that the combination of organ insufficiency and highly malignant myeloma cells resulted in poor outcomes of patients with UHR MM.

Abstract
Long-term disease control in multiple myeloma (MM) is typically an unmet medical need, and most patients experience multiple relapses. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) is the standard technique to detect chromosomal abnormalities (CAs), which are important to estimate the prognosis of MM and the allocation of risk adapted therapies. In advanced stages, the importance of CAs needs further investigation. From 148 MM patients, two or more paired samples, at least one of which was collected at relapse, were analyzed by FISH. Using targeted next-generation sequencing, we molecularly investigated samples harboring relapse-associated CAs. Sixty-one percent of the patients showed a change in the cytogenetic profile during the disease course, including 10% who acquired high-risk cytogenetics. Amp(1q) (≥4 copies of 1q21), driven by an additional increase in copy number in patients who already had 3 copies of 1q21, was the most common acquired CA with 16% affected patients. Tetraploidy, found in 10% of the samples collected at the last time-point, was unstable over the course of the disease and was associated with TP53 lesions. Our results indicate that cytogenetic progression is common in relapsed patients. The relatively high frequency of amp(1q) suggests an active role for this CA in disease progression.
