Differential prognostic impact of stratified additional chromosome abnormalities on disease progression among Malaysian chronic myeloid leukemia patients undergoing treatment with imatinib mesylate.

Abstract
The emergence of additional chromosome abnormalities (ACAs) in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients during treatment with a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) regime is generally associated with resistance to treatment and a sign of disease progression to accelerated phase or blast phase. We report the type, frequency, and differential prognostic impact of stratified ACAs with treatment response in 251 Malaysian CML patients undergoing TKI therapy. ACAs were observed in 40 patients (15.9%) of which 7 patients (17.5%) showed ACAs at time of initial diagnosis whereas 33 patients (82.5%) showed ACAs during the course of IM treatment. In order to assess the prognostic significance, we stratified the CML patients with ACAs into four groups, group 1 (+8/+Ph), group 2 (hypodiploidy), group 3 (structural/complex abnormalities); group 4 (high-risk complex abnormalities), and followed up the disease outcome of patients. Group 1 and group 2 relatively showed good prognosis while patients in group 3 and group 4 had progressed or transformed to AP or blast phase with a median survival rate of 12 months after progression. Novel ACAs consisting of rearrangements involving chromosome 11 and chromosome 12 were found to lead to myeloid BP while ACAs involving the deletion of 7q or monosomy 7 led toward a lymphoid blast phase. There was no evidence of group 2 abnormalities (hypodiploidy) contributing to disease progression. Compared to group 1 abnormalities, CML patients with group 3 and group 4 abnormalities showed a higher risk for disease progression. We conclude that the stratification based on individual ACAs has a differential prognostic impact and might be a potential novel risk predictive system to prognosticate and guide the treatment of CML patients at diagnosis and during treatment.

Abstract
Splenectomy is a common surgical procedure performed in millions of people worldwide. Epidemiologic data show that splenectomy is followed by infectious (sepsis) and non-infectious complications, with unknown mechanisms. In order to explore the role of the non-coding transcripts involved in these complications, we analysed a panel of circulating microRNAs (miRNAs), which were previously reported to be deregulated in sepsis, in the plasma of splenectomized patients. MiR-223 was overexpressed immediately and late after splenectomy, while miR-146a was overexpressed immediately after splenectomy, returning latter to basal levels; and miR-16, miR-93, miR-26a and miR-26b were overexpressed only late after splenectomy, suggesting similarities with sepsis. We also explored the non-coding (nc)RNome of circulating peripheral blood leucocytes by performing a ncRNA full genome profiling. We observed a reorganization of the ncRNoma after splenectomy, characterized by up-regulation of miRNAs and down-regulation of transcribed pyknons (T-PYKs). Pathway analysis revealed that deregulated miRNAs control pathways involved in immunity, cancer and endothelial growth. We checked the expression of the ncRNAs in 15 immune cell types from healthy donors and observed that plasma miRNAs, cellular miRNAs and T-PYKs have a cell-specific expression pattern and are abundant in different types of immune cells. These findings suggest that the ncRNAs potentially regulate the immune changes observed after splenectomy.

Abstract
Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most common killer among men in Western countries. Targeting androgen receptor (AR) signaling by androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is the current therapeutic regime for patients newly diagnosed with metastatic PCa. However, most patients relapse and become resistant to ADT, leading to metastatic castration-resistant PCa (CRPC) and eventually death. Several proposed mechanisms have been proposed for CRPC; however, the exact mechanism through which CRPC develops is still unclear. One possible pathway is that the AR remains active in CRPC cases. Therefore, understanding AR signaling networks as primary PCa changes into metastatic CRPC is key to developing future biomarkers and therapeutic strategies for PCa and CRPC. In the current review, we focused on three novel biomarkers (ZBTB46, SPDEF, and ETV6) that were demonstrated to play critical roles in CRPC progression, epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR TKI) drug resistance, and the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) for patients treated with ADT or AR inhibition. In addition, we summarize how these potential biomarkers can be used in the clinic for diagnosis and as therapeutic targets of PCa.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of decreasing leupaxin (LPXN) expression on the proliferation and invasion of human acute monocytic leukemia SHI-1 cells. The transfection efficiency of fluorescein amidite (FAM)-small interfering RNA (siRNA) was determined using flow cytometry, and the protein expression levels of LPXN, phosphorylated (p)-c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), p-p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK) and p-extracellular-signal-regulated kinase (ERK) were detected by western blot analysis. Proliferation was determined using the cell counting kit-8 reagent and cellular transmembrane invasion ability was determined using a Transwell chamber system. The gelatinase levels of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 and MMP-9 in the cell culture supernatant were also analyzed by gelatin zymography. In SHI-1 cells, the optimal transfection conditions of siRNA were a cell density of 4×105 cells/ml and a ratio of siRNA/Lipofectamine® 2000 of 200 pmol/1 µl. The highest transfection efficiency of FAM-siRNA was 74.5%. In the present study, L2-siRNA was selected to effectively decrease the expression of LPXN. Following downregulation of LPXN expression by L2-siRNA, proliferation inhibition rates increased to 27.043±2.051 and cell transmembrane invasion rates decreased to 25.270±2.145 (P<0.05). The results of the western blot analysis and the gelatin zymography indicated that downregulation of LPXN expression increased the expression of p-p38 MAPK and p-JNK, and attenuated the secretion levels of MMP-2 and MMP-9. However, downregulation of LPXN expression had no effect on p-ERK expression in SHI-1 cells. The results of the present study indicated that downregulation of LPXN expression decreased the malignant proliferation and transmembrane invasion of SHI-1 cells by activating JNK and p38 MAPK, and inhibiting MMP-2 and MMP-9 secretion.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES E26 transformation-specific variant 6 gene (ETV6) is one of the most consistently rearranged genes in acute leukaemia. It encodes a principal hematopoietic transcription factor. METHODS We performed a systematic review focusing on the mechanisms responsible for etv6 acquisition, and its effect on the development of AML. We also review the Characteristics of ETV6 mutations and its fusion genes. Finally, for using ETV6 as a molecular target, we discuss future therapeutic approaches available to mitigate the associated disease. RESULTS ETV6 rearrangements often accompany other molecular mutations. Thirty-three distinct partner bands of ETV6 that contain various fusion genes were detected which plays a vital role in obtaining information about leukaemia genesis. RXDX-101 and PKC412 were reported to be inhibitors of ETV6-NTRK3. DISCUSSION Future researches are needed to explain how ETV6 mutations act within the microenvironment of leukemic cells and how it affects the progression of leukaemia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of silencing LPXN expression by RNA interference on the proliferation and drug sensitivity of human acute monocytic leukemia SHI-1 cells in vitro. METHODS Small interfering RNA (siRNA) sequences targeting LPXN were designed and transiently transfected in SHI-1 cells via Lipofectamine 2000, and the most efficient siRNA sequence for LPXN silencing was identified using Western blotting. The protein expression levels of LPXN, p-JNK, p-P38 MAPK and p-ERK were in the cells transfected with the selected siRNA were detected using Western blotting, and the cell proliferation changes were assessed using CCK-8 reagent. RESULTS LPXN silencing by siRNA transfection resulted in significant proliferation suppression in SHI-1 cells with an inhibition rate of(27.04±2.05) % (P < 0.05). Western blotting showed that treatment of the siRNA-transfected SHI-1 cells with 0-25 μmol/L curcumin or with 0-2.0 μmol/L Ara-C further increased the cell inhibition rate and obviously enhanced the expressions of p-P38 MAPK and p-JNK without significantly affecting p-ERK expression. CONCLUSIONS Down-regulation of LPXN expression by siRNA transfection can suppress the proliferation and increase the drug sensitivity of SHI-1 cells probably by activating JNK and P38 MAPK.

Abstract
ETV6 gene abnormalities are well described in tumor pathology. Many fusion partners of ETV6 have been reported in a variety of epithelial, mesenchymal, and hematological malignancies. In salivary gland tumor pathology, however, the ETV6-NTRK3 translocation is specific for (mammary analog) secretory carcinoma, and has not been documented in any other salivary tumor type. The present study comprised a clinical, histologic, and molecular analysis of 10 cases of secretory carcinoma, with typical morphology and immunoprofile harboring a novel ETV6-RET translocation.

Abstract
Gliomas with mutant p53 occurring in 30% of glioma patients exhibit therapeutic resistance and poor outcomes. In this study, we identify a novel mechanism through which mutant p53 drives cancer cell survival and malignant growth. We documented overexpression of the zinc finger protein ZDHHC5 in glioma compared with normal brain tissue and that this event tightly correlated with p53 mutations. Mechanistic investigations revealed that mutant p53 transcriptionally upregulated ZDHHC5 along with the nuclear transcription factor NF-Y. These events contributed to the development of glioma by promoting the self-renewal capacity and tumorigenicity of glioma stem-like cells, by altering the palmitoylation and phosphorylation status of the tumor suppressor EZH2. Taken together, our work highlighted ZDHHC5 as a candidate therapeutic target for management of p53-mutated gliomas. Cancer Res; 77(18); 4998-5010. ©2017 AACR.
