Abstract
B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is characterized by the highly heterogeneity of pathogenic genetic background, and there are still approximately 30-40% of patients without clear molecular markers. To identify the dysregulated genes in B cell ALL, we screened 30 newly diagnosed B cell ALL patients and 10 donors by gene expression profiling chip. We found that ECM1 transcription level was abnormally elevated in newly diagnosed B cell ALL and further verified in another 267 cases compared with donors (median, 124.57% vs. 7.14%, P < 0.001). ROC analysis showed that the area under the curve of ECM1 transcription level at diagnosis was 0.89 (P < 0.001). Patients with BCR::ABL1 and IKZF1 deletion show highest transcription level (210.78%) compared with KMT2A rearrangement (39.48%) and TCF3::PBX1 rearrangement ones (30.02%) (all P < 0.05). Also, the transcription level of ECM1 was highly correlated with the clinical course, as 20 consecutive follow-up cases indicated. The 5-year OS of patients (non-KMT2A and non-TCF3::PBX1 rearrangement) with high ECM1 transcription level was significantly worse than the lower ones (18.7% vs. 72.9%, P < 0.001) and high ECM1 transcription level was an independent risk factor for OS (HR = 5.77 [1.75-19.06], P = 0.004). After considering transplantation, high ECM1 transcription level was not an independent risk factor, although OS was still poor (low vs. high, 71.1% vs. 56.8%, P = 0.038). Our findings suggested that ECM1 may be a potential molecular marker for diagnosis, minimal residual disease (MRD) monitoring, and prognosis prediction of B cell ALL.Trial registration Trial Registration Registered in the Beijing Municipal Health Bureau Registration N 2007-1007 and in the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry [ChiCTR-OCH-10000940 and ChiCTR-OPC-14005546]; http://www.chictr.org.cn .

Abstract
This study aimed to compare interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization (iFISH) and multiplex ligation dependent probe amplification (MLPA) for identifying genetic changes in myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS).The frequencies of cytogenetic changes in MDS patients treated at the Institute of Hematology and Blood Disease Hospital (China) in 2009 to 2018 were assessed by iFISH based on bone marrow samples. Then, the effectiveness of MLPA in detecting these anomalies was evaluated.Specimens from 287 MDS patients were assessed. A total of 36.9% (103/279) of MDS cases had chromosomal abnormalities detected by iFISH; meanwhile, 44.1% (123/279) harbored ≥1 copy-number variation (CNV) based on MLPA: +8 (n=46), -5 (n = 39), -7 (n = 27), del 20 (n = 32) and del 17 (n = 17). Overall, 0 to 4 aberrations/case were detected by MLPA, suggesting the heterogeneous and complex nature of MDS cytogenetics. There were 29 cases detected by MLPA, which were undetected by FISH or showed low signals. Sixteen of these cases had their risk classification changed due to MLPA detection, including 9 reassigned to the high-risk IPSS-R group. These findings demonstrated that MLPA is highly efficient in assessing cytogenetic anomalies, with data remarkably corroborating FISH findings (overall consistency of 97.1%). The sensitivities of MLPA in detecting +8, -5, -7, del 20 and del 17 were 92.3%, 97.1%, 100%, 100%, and 90%, respectively, with specificities of 95.8%, 97.6%, 97.7%, 97.6%, and 97%, respectively.MLPA represents a reliable approach, with greater efficiency, accuracy, and speed than iFISH in identifying cytogenetic aberrations in MDS.

Abstract
The karyotype is highly important for diagnosis and prognosis in myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). The objective of the present study was to investigate the cytogenetic characteristics of patients with MDS in China. The karyotypes of 665 Chinese patients with MDS were analyzed, and it was identified that 298 cases (298/665, 44.8%) had abnormal karyotypes. Among the 298 patients with abnormal karyotypes, the 75 patients with trisomy 8 (+8) constituted the most common subset (75/298, 25.2%). The incidence of abnormal karyotypes was significantly higher in patients who were ≥51 years old compared with those <51 years old, (54.8 vs. 34.7%, respectively; P<0.05). Based on World Health Organization (WHO) classification-based Prognostic Scoring System (WPSS) criteria, the incidence of poor-prognosis karyotypes was significantly higher (17.4 vs. 5.4%; P<0.05) in the older patient group, and based on the Revised International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS-R) criteria, the incidence of poor-/very poor-prognosis karyotypes was also significantly higher (17.4 vs. 6.6%; P<0.05) in patients ≥51 years old compared with younger ones. Based on the WHO classification of MDS subtypes, the incidence of abnormal karyotypes in patients with high percentages of bone marrow (BM) blasts [excess blasts (EB)-I + EB-II, ≥5% blasts] was significantly higher than that in patients with low percentages of BM blasts (those with single lineage dysplasia + multilineage dysplasia, <5% blasts) (62.5 vs. 36.0%; P<0.05). The incidence of poor-prognosis karyotypes based on WPSS criteria was significantly higher in patients with high percentages of BM blasts than those with low percentages (22.0 vs. 6.9%, respectively; P<0.05), and the incidence of poor-/very poor-prognosis karyotypes based on IPSS-R criteria was also significantly higher (23.0 vs. 7.4%, respectively; P<0.05). These results demonstrate that +8 is the most common abnormal karyotype in Chinese patients with MDS. Age and the percentage of BM blasts are associated with the incidence of both abnormal karyotypes and karyotypes with poor prognosis. The results of cytogenetic abnormalities in this study will supplement the data on patients of MDS in China.

Abstract
BACKGROUND DNMT3A is a DNA methyltransferase that acts in de novo methylation. Aberrant expression of DNMT3A has been reported in several human diseases, including myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). However, the pattern of DNMT3A methylation remains unknown in MDS. METHODS The present study was aimed to investigate the methylation status of DNMT3A intragenic differentially methylated region 2 (DMR2) using real-time quantitative methylation-specific PCR and analyze its clinical significance in MDS. RESULTS Aberrant hypomethylation of DNMT3A was found in 57% (51/90) MDS cases. There were no significant differences in age, sex, white blood cell counts, platelet counts, hemoglobin counts and World Health Organization, International Prognostic Scoring System and karyotype classifications between DNMT3A hypomethylated and DNMT3A hypermethylated groups. However, the patients with DNMT3A hypomethylation had shorter overall survival time than those without DNMT3A hypomethylation (11 months vs. 36 months, p=0.033). Multivariate analysis confirmed the independent adverse impact of DNMT3A hypomethylation in MDS. CONCLUSIONS Our data suggest that DNMT3A DMR2 hypomethylation may be a negative prognostic hallmark in MDS.

Abstract
Chromosome banding analysis (CBA) in myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) remains the 'gold standard' for identification of chromosomal abnormalities, while interphase fluorescence in-situ hybridization (I-FISH) is mainly used to complement CBA. This study, retrospectively, evaluated CBA and I-FISH results in 600 patients with suspected MDS and determined the effect of CBA/FISH reallocation on IPSS-R. Our result demonstrated that in 7/586 (1.2%) patients with satisfactory karyotype, I-FISH provided additional information. In 25/453 (5.5%) of the patients with normal I-FISH, CBA detected chromosomal abnormalities, and in 68/147 (46%) of the patients with abnormal I-FISH, CBA detected additional chromosomal aberrations. When 5q- aberration was alone or accompanied by additional abnormalities by I-FISH, CBA revealed a complex karyotype (16/25;64%, 35/43;81%, respectively). Our results suggest that in cases of karyotype failure, if I-FISH is used alone, patients are at risk of being misclassified into the wrong cytogenetic risk groups and a repeat sample for CBA should be attempted.

Cysteine and glycine-rich protein 2 (CSRP2) transcript levels correlate with leukemia relapse and leukemia-free survival in adults with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia and normal cytogenetics. Oncotarget 2018; 8:35984-36000. [PMID: 28415593 PMCID: PMC5482632 DOI: 10.18632/oncotarget.16416] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/10/2016] [Accepted: 03/11/2017] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Relapse is the major cause of treatment-failure in adults with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) achieving complete remission after induction chemotherapy. Greater precision identifying persons likely to relapse is important. We did bio-informatics analyses of transcriptomic data to identify mRNA transcripts aberrantly-expressed in B-cell ALL. We selected 9 candidate genes for validation 7 of which proved significantly-associated with B-cell ALL. We next focused on function and clinical correlations of the cysteine and glycine-rich protein 2 (CSRP2). Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was used to examine gene transcript levels in bone marrow samples from 236 adults with B-cell ALL compared with samples from normals. CSRP2 was over-expressed in 228 out of 236 adults (97%) with newly-diagnosed B-cell ALL. A prognostic value was assessed in 168 subjects. In subjects with normal cytogenetics those with high CSRP2 transcript levels had a higher 5-year cumulative incidence of relapse (CIR) and worse relapse-free survival (RFS) compared with subjects with low transcript levels (56% [95% confidence interval, 53, 59%] vs. 19% [18, 20%]; P = 0.011 and 41% [17, 65%] vs. 80% [66–95%]; P = 0.007). In multivariate analyses a high CSRP2 transcript level was independently-associated with CIR (HR = 5.32 [1.64–17.28]; P = 0.005) and RFS (HR = 5.56 [1.87, 16.53]; P = 0.002). Functional analyses indicated CSRP2 promoted cell proliferation, cell-cycle progression, in vitro colony formation and cell migration ability. Abnormal CSRP2 expression was associated with resistance to chemotherapy; sensitivity was restored by down-regulating CSRP2 expression.

Kokate P, Dalvi R, Koppaka N, Mandava S. Prognostic classification of MDS is improved by the inclusion of FISH panel testing with conventional cytogenetics. Cancer Genet 2017; 216-217:120-127. [PMID: 29025586 DOI: 10.1016/j.cancergen.2017.05.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/14/2016] [Revised: 01/06/2017] [Accepted: 05/24/2017] [Indexed: 10/19/2022]
Abstract
Cytogenetics is a critical independent prognostic factor in myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). Conventional cytogenetics (CC) and Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) Panel Testing are extensively used for the prognostic stratification of MDS, although the FISH test is not yet a bona fide component of the International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS). The present study compares the utility of CC and FISH to detect chromosomal anomalies and in prognostic categorization. GTG-Banding and FISH Panel Testing specifically for -5/-5q, -7/-7q, +8 and -20q was performed on whole blood or bone marrow samples from 136 patients with MDS. Chromosomal anomalies were found in 40 cases by CC, including three novel translocations. FISH identified at least one anomaly in 54/136 (39.7%) cases. More than one anomaly was found in 18/54 (33.3%) cases, therefore, overall FISH identified 75 anomalies of which 32 (42.6%) were undetected by CC. FISH provided additional information in cases with CC failure and in cases with a normal karyotype. Further, in ten cases with an abnormal karyotype, FISH could identify additional anomalies, increasing the number of abnormalities per patient. Although CC is the gold standard in the cytogenetic profiling of MDS, FISH has proven to be an asset in identifying additional abnormalities. The number of anomalies per patient can predict the prognosis in MDS and hence, FISH contributed towards prognostic re-categorization. The FISH Panel testing should be used as an adjunct to CC, irrespective of the adequacy of the number of metaphases in CC, as it improves the prognostic classification of MDS.

Clinico-Pathological Spectrum and Novel Karyotypic Findings in Myelodysplastic Syndrome: Experience of Tertiary Care Center in India. Mediterr J Hematol Infect Dis 2017; 9:e2017048. [PMID: 28894557 PMCID: PMC5584769 DOI: 10.4084/mjhid.2017.048] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/22/2017] [Accepted: 07/19/2017] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) is a heterogeneous disorder characterized clinically by the presence of cytopenia/s. Limited data are available about the morphological spectrum and cytogenetic profile of Indian MDS patients. The aim of the study was to ascertain the clinico-pathological, morphological and cytogenetic spectrum of Indian MDS patients. Material and methods A retrospective analysis of all patients diagnosed with MDS from June 2012 to December 2016 was performed. Their clinical and laboratory data were collated and reviewed. Results A total of 150 patients with primary MDS were evaluated with M: F ratio of 1.6:1 and the median age of 55.5 years. 64% patients presented with pancytopenia and 31% with bicytopenia. Morphologically they included MDS-MLD [63 (42%)], MDS-EB 2, [33 (22%)], MDS-EB 1 [32 (21.3%)], MDS-SLD [13 (8.6%)] and two cases (1.4%) each of MDS-SLD-RS, MDS-MLD-RS, and RCC. An abnormal cytogenetic profile was detected in 50% patients. Complex karyotype was observed to be the commonest abnormality (32.5%), and chromosome 7 was the most frequently involved chromosome. Isolated deletion 5q was seen in 6.9 % cases. Novel translocations like t(9;22)(q11.2;q34.2), t(1;5)(p22;q33), t(1;12)(p34;p11.2) and t(5;7;9)(q13;q32;p22) were observed in addition to other complex abnormalities. The majority of the patients belonged to the high risk IPSS-R prognostic groups (31.4%); followed by intermediate and very high-risk groups, 29% and 24.4% respectively. Conclusion The median age of patients in India is a decade younger than the western population. Complex karyotype was observed to be the commonest cytogenetic abnormality, while the frequency of deletion 5q and trisomy 8 was much lower as compared to the west. The majority of the patients were in high to very high IPSS-R risk categories and seventy percent individuals below 40 years showed abnormal karyotype, indicating that Indian MDS patients have high disease burden at a young age and thus more likelihood for leukemic transformation.

Myelodysplastic syndromes: advantages of a combined cytogenetic and molecular diagnostic workup. Oncotarget 2017; 8:79188-79200. [PMID: 29108298 PMCID: PMC5668031 DOI: 10.18632/oncotarget.16578] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/23/2016] [Accepted: 03/14/2017] [Indexed: 12/26/2022] Open
Abstract
In this study we present a new diagnostic workup for the myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) including FISH, aCGH, and somatic mutation assays in addition to the conventional cytogenetics (CC). We analyzed 61 patients by CC, FISH for chromosome 5, 7, 8 and PDGFR rearrangements, aCGH, and PCR for ASXL1, EZH2, TP53, TET2, RUNX1, DNMT3A, SF3B1 somatic mutations. Moreover, we quantified WT1 and RPS14 gene expression levels, in order to find their possible adjunctive value and their possible clinical impact. CC analysis showed 32% of patients with at least one aberration. FISH analysis detected chromosomal aberrations in 24% of patients and recovered 5 cases (13.5%) at normal karyotype (two 5q- syndromes, one del(7) case, two cases with PDGFR rearrangement). The aGCH detected 10 "new" unbalanced cases in respect of the CC, including one with alteration of the ETV6 gene. After mutational analysis, 33 patients (54%) presented at least one mutation and represented the only marker of clonality in 36% of all patients. The statistical analysis confirmed the prognostic role of CC either on overall or on progression-free-survival. In addition, deletions detected by aCGH and WT1 over-expression negatively conditioned survival. In conclusion, our work showed that 1) the addition of FISH (at least for chr. 5 and 7) can improve the definition of the risk score; 2) mutational analysis, especially for the TP53 and SF3B1, could better define the type of MDS and represent a "clinical warning"; 3) the aCGH use could be probably applied to selected cases (with suboptimal response or failure).
