Abstract
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a malignant neoplasm characterized by the clonal proliferation of abnormal plasma cells (PCs) in the bone marrow and recurrent cytogenetic abnormalities. The incidence of MM worldwide is on the rise. 1q21+ has been found in ~30-40% of newly diagnosed MM (NDMM) patients.1q21+ is associated with the pathophysiological mechanisms of disease progression and drug resistance in MM. In the present review, the pathogenesis and clinicopathological features of MM patients with 1q21+ were studied, the key data of 1q21+ on the prognosis of MM patients were summarized, and the clinical treatment significance of MM patients with 1q21+ was clarified, in order to provide reference for clinicians to develop treatment strategies targeting 1q21+.

[PMID: 38402467 DOI: 10.1002/hon.3258] [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: 09/19/2023] [Revised: 12/12/2023] [Accepted: 02/03/2024] [Indexed: 02/26/2024]
Abstract
Gain/amplification of 1q21 (≥3 copies), a chromosomal abnormality frequently observed in multiple myeloma, can negatively affect prognosis, due to its involvement in resistance to anti-myeloma therapy and disease progression. In this updated subgroup analysis of the randomized, Phase 3 IKEMA study (NCT03275285) in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM), we evaluated progression-free survival (PFS) and depth of response with the anti-CD38 antibody isatuximab plus carfilzomib-dexamethasone (Isa-Kd) versus Kd, in 1q21+ patients and related subgroups, at long-term follow-up (44.2 months). Our analysis included patients with 1q21+ (≥3 copies, with/without high-risk chromosomal abnormality [HRCA]), isolated 1q21+ (≥3 copies, without HRCA), gain(1q21) (3 copies, with/without HRCA), and amp(1q21) (≥4 copies, with/without HRCA). PFS benefit was achieved with Isa-Kd versus Kd in patients with 1q21+ (HR 0.58, 95% CI: 0.37-0.92), with isolated 1q21+ (HR 0.49, 95% CI: 0.27-0.92), with gain(1q21), or amp(1q21), consistent with the overall population and prior interim 1q21+ subgroup analyses. Median PFS with Isa-Kd versus Kd was 25.8 versus 16.2 months in 1q21+ patients and 38.2 versus 16.2 months in patients with isolated 1q21+. Clinically meaningful, higher rates of very good partial response or better, complete response or better (≥CR), minimal residual disease (MRD) negativity, and MRD negativity and ≥CR were reached with Isa-Kd versus Kd in patients with 1q21+, isolated 1q21+, gain(1q21), or amp(1q21). In Isa-Kd and Kd, the MRD negativity and ≥CR rate was 29.3% versus 15.4% in 1q21+ patients, 36.2% versus 12.9% in patients with isolated 1q21+, 27.9% versus 13.5% in patients with gain(1q21), and 31.3% versus 20.0% in patients with amp(1q21), respectively. In conclusion, addition of Isa to Kd in triplet combination therapy has shown PFS benefit and deeper responses, compared with Kd, in 1q21+ patients at higher risk of progression, including patients with isolated 1q21+, gain(1q21), and amp(1q21), thus supporting Isa-Kd an effective treatment option for patients with RRMM.

Minimal residual disease status is the prognostic determinant following high-dose treatment for patients with multiple myeloma. Cancer Med 2023; 12:20736-20744. [PMID: 37921243 PMCID: PMC10709722 DOI: 10.1002/cam4.6640] [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: 06/12/2023] [Revised: 08/30/2023] [Accepted: 09/30/2023] [Indexed: 11/04/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The presence of minimal residual disease (MRD+) following autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) in multiple myeloma represents a poor prognostic factor for progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). METHODS At our department, we recommend lenalidomide maintenance for patients who are MRD+ after ASCT, while MRD-negative (MRD-) patients, after information about the national guidelines, were not advised to follow this regimen. RESULTS Out of the total 228 patients, 175 received ASCT following first-line induction (MRD- 92 (53%), MRD+ 83 (47%), at 2 months post-ASCT), while 53 underwent ASCT after second-line treatment (MRD- 27 (51%), MRD+ 26 (49%), at the same time point). Comparatively, MRD- patients who did not receive maintenance demonstrated better OS than MRD+ patients who received upfront ASCT and maintenance treatment (96% vs. 86%, p = 0.030, at 3 years). However, nonsignificant difference was found in PFS (76% vs. 62%, at 3 years). Furthermore, second-line ASCT, MRD- non-maintained patients exhibited significantly better PFS than MRD+ (71% vs. 27%, p > 0.001, at 3 years). However, OS was better but nonsignificant (96% vs. 76%, at 3 years). Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis was performed on 141 out of the 228 patients. Of these, 85 (60%) patients were deemed standard risk (SR), and 56 (40%) were classified as high risk (HR). In the SR cohort, MRD- patients exhibited better PFS and OS than MRD+ patients (71% vs. 59% and 100% vs. 85%, respectively). In the HR cohort, the MRD- patients showed superior PFS but similar OS compared to MRD+ patients (66% vs. 42% and 81% vs. 80%, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Our results indicate that being MRD- is a more crucial prognostic factor for the 3-year PFS and OS than the presence of high-risk cytogenetic markers or undergoing maintenance treatment. The latter appears insufficient, particularly for MRD+ patients following ASCT in the second-line setting, suggesting that these patients may require a more intensive treatment approach.

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
Chromosome 1q21 aberration is one of the most common cytogenetic abnormalities in multiple myeloma, and is considered an important prognostic factor. The present study analyzed the clinical relevance and prognostic impact of 1q21 gain in 194 patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma treated with bortezomib-based regimens. 1q21 gain was detected in 45.9% (89/194) of patients, and those with 1q21 gain had a worse prognosis. Strikingly, our results showed that excluding the effects of other coinciding genetic anomalies, patients carrying at least four copies of 1q21 had worse survival outcome. Moreover, del(13q) strongly correlates with 1q21 gain, and the coexistence of del(13q) and 1q21 gain plays an important role in reducing PFS and OS times. Therefore, 1q21 gain should be considered a high-risk feature in multiple myeloma patients treated with a bortezomib-based regimen.

Abstract
Multiple myeloma is a cancer of plasma cells; the incidence rate of multiple myeloma is high among older adults. Although significant advances have been made in the clinical management of multiple myeloma driven by the introduction of novel drugs, such as proteasome inhibitors, immuno- modulators and antibodies, multiple myeloma remains incurable. Hence, the current therapeutic goal for multiple myeloma is to achieve long-term survival while maintaining a good quality of life. In this context, personalized treatment to balance the efficacy and safety of therapies is important, especially for older adults as they display diverse physical, cognitive or organ functioning. Furthermore, old age is also often associated with frailty. Several tools for evaluating frailty in older adults with multiple myeloma are now available, and frail patients defined by these tools have shown a poor prognosis and more treatment-related toxicities. In addition, it is important to evaluate other factors, such as the International Staging System, high-risk chromosomal abnormalities and treatment response, to predict the clinical course of patients. Further investigations are required to determine how these factors can optimize the treatment for multiple myeloma. In this review, we present a detailed account on the developments and issues related to the current treatment approaches for older adults with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma. We also discuss the ongoing phase III clinical study conducted by the lymphoma study group of the Japan Clinical Oncology Group, which targeted older adults with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The cut-off value for gain/amplification of 1q21(1q21+) was 20% according to the recommendations of the European Myeloma Network and there were limited studies concerning less than 20%. Meanwhile, the copy number variation of 1q21+ remains controversial. Our purpose was to evaluate the significance of clone size and copy numbers of 1q21+ in Chinese newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM). PATIENTS AND METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 161 consecutive NDMM patients who were tested for common cytogenetic abnormalities at diagnosis by fluorescence in-situ hybridization and 5% was set for the threshold for 1q21+ by a comparative study. RESULTS Ninety-six (59.6%) patients were determined for 1q21+ by fluorescence in-situ hybridization including 38 had ≥4 copies. In clone size analyses, the 2-year progression-free survival (PFS) in <5% group was superior in comparison with 5% to 20% (65.2% vs. 47.0%, P = .041) and >20% group (65.2% vs. 37.5%, P < .001), whereas there was no significant difference between the 2 latter groups. Patients with ≥ 4 copies of 1q21 had inferior 2-year PFS compared to patients with 3 copies (23.3% vs. 50.6%, P = .028) and 2 copies (23.3% vs. 65.2%, P < .001). Bortezomib-based treatment might benefit the PFS for patients with 3 copies but could not improve the adverse effect of ≥ 4 copies. 1q21+ was an independent risk factor for inferior PFS and OS in multivariate analysis (P < .001 and P = .028). CONCLUSION Our results demonstrated that 5% was a reliable cut-off value for 1q21+, and 1q21+ was an adverse prognostic factor in NDMM, especially when ≥ 4 copies were present.

Abstract
Introduction The gain/amplification (amp) of 1q21 is one of the most common high‐risk chromosome abnormality (HRCA) in multiple myeloma (MM). The prognostic value of 1q21+ remains to be controversial on the status of gain or amp and the combination of other HRCAs. Methods In this retrospective study, we included 318 newly diagnosed MM (NDMM) patients who had fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) data and treated with novel agents in our department. Results Our study noted MM patients with amp 1q21 were more likely accompanied with t(4;14), t(14;16), and t(14;20). Patients with amp 1q21 presented with elder age, advanced Revised International Staging System (R‐ISS) stages, anemia, and more plasma cells in bone marrow compared to patients with gain 1q21 alone and no 1q21+. Moreover, amp 1q21 alone correlated with shorter progression‐free survival (PFS) (22.8m vs. 40.5m vs. 39.6m) and overall survival (OS) (45.2m vs. NA vs. 83.5m) compared with gain 1q21 alone and no FISH abnormalities. Although the high ratio of proteasome inhibitor and immunomodulatory drugs used in patients with amp 1q21, the overall response (ORR) was the lowest compared with no 1q21+ and gain 1q21. Multivariate analysis defined amp 1q21 as an independent prognostic marker for NDMM patients, rather than gain 1q21. Conclusion The amp 1q21 predict inferior treatment response and survival, especially coexisted with high‐risk IgH translocation.

Abstract
We retrospectively studied the impact of cytogenetic abnormalities in 328 consecutive newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (MM) patients. High-risk cytogenetic abnormalities (HRCAs) included del (17p), amp/gain (1q21), t(4;14), and t(14;16). We defined a standard-risk group by the absence of HRCA, an intermediate-risk group with one HRCA, and a high-risk (HiR) group with at least two HRCAs. The HiR group constituted 14.3% of patients and was associated with a median overall survival (OS) of 28.6 months and progression-free survival (PFS) of 14.0 months. Moreover, the HiR group predicted poor outcomes for OS and PFS in multivariate analyses, and bortezomib prolongation to nine cycles could not bring additional benefit to this entity, suggesting the necessity of more effective therapies for these patients. Furthermore, we confirmed the independent prognostic impact of amp 1q21 in this real-world study.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Multiple myeloma (MM) remains an incurable disease with a median overall survival of approximately 5 years. Gain or amplification of 1q21 (1q21+) occurs in around 40% of patients with MM and generally portends a poor prognosis. Patients with MM who harbor 1q21+ are at increased risk of drug resistance, disease progression, and death. New pharmacotherapies with novel modes of action are required to overcome the negative prognostic impact of 1q21+. Areas covered: This review discusses the detection, biology, prognosis, and therapeutic targeting of 1q21+ in newly diagnosed and relapsed MM. Patients with MM and 1q21+ tend to present with higher tumor burden, greater end-organ damage, and more co-occurring high-risk cytogenetic abnormalities than patients without 1q21+. The chromosomal rearrangements associated with 1q21+ result in dysregulation of genes involved in oncogenesis. Identification and characterization of the 1q21+ molecular targets are needed to inform on prognosis and treatment strategy. Clinical trial data are emerging that addition of isatuximab to combination therapies may improve outcomes in patients with 1q21+ MM. Expert opinion: In the next 5 years, the results of ongoing research and trials are likely to focus on the therapeutic impact and treatment decisions associated with 1q21+ in MM.

S100 Calcium Binding Protein Family Members Associate With Poor Patient Outcome and Response to Proteasome Inhibition in Multiple Myeloma. Front Cell Dev Biol 2021; 9:723016. [PMID: 34485305 PMCID: PMC8415228 DOI: 10.3389/fcell.2021.723016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/09/2021] [Accepted: 07/26/2021] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Despite several new therapeutic options, multiple myeloma (MM) patients experience multiple relapses and inevitably become refractory to treatment. Insights into drug resistance mechanisms may lead to the development of novel treatment strategies. The S100 family is comprised of 21 calcium binding protein members with 17 S100 genes located in the 1q21 region, which is commonly amplified in MM. Dysregulated expression of S100 family members is associated with tumor initiation, progression and inflammation. However, the relationship between the S100 family and MM pathogenesis and drug response is unknown. In this study, the roles of S100 members were systematically studied at the copy number, transcriptional and protein level with patients’ survival and drug response. Copy number analysis revealed a predominant pattern of gains occurring in S100 genes clustering in the 1q21 locus. In general, gains of genes encoding S100 family members associated with worse patient survival. However, S100 gene copy number and S100 gene expression did not necessarily correlate, and high expression of S100A4 associated with poor patient survival. Furthermore, integrated analysis of S100 gene expression and ex vivo drug sensitivity data showed significant negative correlation between expression of S100 family members (S100A8, S100A9, and S100A12) and sensitivity to some drugs used in current MM treatment, including proteasome inhibitors (bortezomib, carfilzomib, and ixazomib) and histone deacetylase inhibitor panobinostat. Combined proteomic and pharmacological data exhibited significant negative association of S100 members (S100A4, S100A8, and S100A9) with proteasome inhibitors and panobinostat. Clinically, the higher expression of S100A4 and S100A10 were significantly linked to shorter progression free survival in patients receiving carfilzomib-based therapy. The results indicate an association and highlight the potential functional importance of S100 members on chromosome 1q21 in the development of MM and resistance to established myeloma drugs, including proteasome inhibitors.

Development and validation of prognostic implications of chromosome abnormalities algorithm for newly diagnosed multiple myeloma. BLOOD SCIENCE 2021; 3:78-86.

Abstract
Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) evaluation is essential for initial risk stratification in multiple myeloma (MM). The presence of specific cytogenetic abnormalities (CA) confers a heterogeneity impact on prognosis. However, the cutoff values among different centers are not uniform. Therefore, we conduct this study to better predict the prognosis of newly diagnosed MM patients based on FISH results. The Kaps method was used to calculate the chromosomal abnormal cutoff values. A total of 533 participants were included in the study. The best cutoff value of overall survival were as follows: 17p− 20.1%, 13q− 85%, 1q21+ 39%, t(11;14) 55.5%, t(14;16) 87%, and t(4;14) 53.5%. The survival analysis showed that 17p− and 1q21+ were the independent factors affecting both OS and progress free survival (PFS) among CA. The analysis based on the cutoff value obtained by Kaps suggested that 13q−, t(14;16), 17p−, and 1q21+ were independent factors affecting OS among CA; t(14;16), 17p−, and 1q21+ were independent factors affecting PFS among CA. The prognostic model was constructed by the Kaps method with the Harrell concordance index (c-index) at 0.719 (95% CI, 0.683–0.756; corrected 0.707), which was higher than that calculated by the European Myeloma Network criteria (0.714; 95% CI, 0.678–0.751; corrected 0.696). In conclusion, chromosomal abnormalities in different proportions and combinations can affect the prognosis of MM patients. Therefore, effective criteria should be formulated to evaluate the prognosis of MM patients better.

Abstract
Chromosome 1 abnormalities (C1As) are common genetic aberrations among patients with multiple myeloma (MM). We aimed to evaluate the significance of C1As among a contemporary cohort of patients with MM in the United States. We used electronic health records from the Flatiron Health database to select patients newly diagnosed with MM from January 2011 to March 2018 who were tested using fluorescence in situ hybridization within 90 days of diagnosis. We characterized patients as having documented C1As or other high-risk chromosomal abnormalities (HRCAs) as defined by the Revised-International Staging System (R-ISS) such as del(17p), t(14;16), and t(4;14). We used Kaplan-Meier methods to compare overall survival (OS) of patients with or without C1As and stratified log-rank tests (with the presence of HRCAs as a stratifying variable). We used Cox proportional hazards regression models to compare OS, adjusting for age, sex, stage, HRCAs, and type of first-line therapy. Of 3578 eligible patients, 844 (24%) had documented C1As. Compared with patients without C1As, patients with C1As were more likely to have higher stage (R-ISS stage III; 18% vs 12%), to have HRCAs (27% vs 14%), and to receive combinations of proteasome inhibitors and immunomodulatory agents (41% vs 34%). Median OS was lower for patients with C1As (46.6 vs 70.1 months; log-rank P < .001). C1As were independently associated with worse OS (adjusted hazard ratio, 1.42; 95% confidence interval, 1.19-2.69; P < .001), as were older age, higher R-ISS stage, HRCAs, and immunoglobulin A isotype. C1As were associated with inferior OS, independent of other HRCAs, despite greater use of novel therapies. Clinical trials testing newer therapies for high-risk MM should incorporate patients with C1As.

Abstract
Gain of chromosome 1q (+1q) is one of the most common recurrent cytogenetic abnormalities in multiple myeloma (MM), occurring in approximately 40% of newly diagnosed cases. Although it is often considered a poor prognostic marker in MM, +1q has not been uniformly adopted as a high-risk cytogenetic abnormality in guidelines. Controversy exists regarding the importance of copy number, as well as whether +1q is itself a driver of poor outcomes or merely a common passenger genetic abnormality in biologically unstable disease. Although the identification of a clear pathogenic mechanism from +1q remains elusive, many genes at the 1q21 locus have been proposed to cause early progression and resistance to anti-myeloma therapy. The plethora of potential drivers suggests that +1q is not only a causative factor or poor outcomes in MM but may be targetable and/or predictive of response to novel therapies. This review will summarize our current understanding of the pathogenesis of +1q in plasma cell neoplasms, the impact of 1q copy number, identify potential genetic drivers of poor outcomes within this subset, and attempt to clarify its clinical significance and implications for the management of patients with multiple myeloma.

Abstract
Pleural effusion (PE) is prevalent in unselected "real-life" populations of multiple myeloma (MM). However, its prognostic value on MM is currently elusive. This study aimed to explore the role of PE on MM prognosis and to develop a novel prognostic nomogram for a cohort of Chinese patients with MM. Patients diagnosed with MM form 2000 through 2017 were retrospectively enrolled. PE was evaluated by chest computed tomography (CT) scans. Independent predictors of overall survival (OS) were identified using a multivariable Cox regression model performed on variables selected by the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) algorithm. A nomogram was constructed based on these variables. The concordance index (C-index) and the calibration curve were used to evaluate the predictive performance of the nomogram. Among 861 patients analyzed, 368 patients developed PE. Multivariate cox regression and restricted mean survival time (RMST) analyses revealed that patients with PE experienced worse OS vs. patients without PE. A nomogram predictive of OS was constructed using PE, plasma cell proportion, international staging system (ISS) stage, Charlson comorbidity index (CCI), 1q21 gain, and autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). The nomogram showed satisfactory discrimination in the derivation cohort (C-index=0.729) and the validation cohort (C-index=0.684), outperforming the Durie-Salmon (DS) and ISS staging systems. Moreover, the nomogram accurately classified patients into two distinct high- and low-risk groups. PE is frequently encountered in the disease course for MM patients. We derivated and validated a novel nomogram for MM based on PE, outperforming the DS/ISS staging systems.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Novel drugs and drug combinations have improved outcomes for multiple myeloma patients. However, subgroups of patients still have a poor progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). In an attempt to identify how the novel drugs affect the outcome in standard-risk and high-risk patients, respectively, we have investigated 715 multiple myeloma (MM) patients who have undergone high dose treatment followed by autologous stem cell transplantation at our center during 1995 - 2020. Outcomes during three time periods, 1995-1999 (period I), 2000-2009 (period II), and 2010-2020 (period III), were compared separately for standard-risk and high-risk patients. Risk stratification was based on chromosome analysis for periods II and III. RESULTS The whole cohort of patients showed significantly improved OS with time during the three periods being at a median of 5.8, 7.0, and 10.0 years, respectively. There is also a weak tendency for improved PFS, that is, a median of 2.4, 2.6, and 2.9 years, respectively, during the same periods. However, the separate analysis of standard-risk and high-risk patients showed that the overall improvement with time was due to improved standard-risk patients (median OS 8.4 years for the period I and not reached for period II and III). In contrast, no significant improvement was seen in high-risk patients. For patients with del17p, PFS was even worse during period III as compared to period II (median 1.6 vs 3.2 years respectively). CONCLUSION Our results show that the dramatic improvement in outcome for MM patients during the last 20 years only applies for standard-risk patients, while high-risk MM patients still are doing poorly, indicating that the novel drugs developed during this time are preferentially effective in standard-risk patients. New treatment modalities like CAR-T cells, CAR-NK cells, and/or bispecific antibodies should be tried in clinical studies early in the course of the disease, especially in patients with high-risk cytogenetics.

Abstract
Numerous studies have confirmed that microRNAs (miRNAs or miRs) have important roles in cancer biogenesis and development including multiple myeloma (MM). MicroRNA-25-3p (miR-25-3p) has been proven to promote cancer progression, whereas its functions in MM has not yet been reported, at least to the best of our knowledge. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the function of miR-25-3p in MM and to identify the potential underlying mechanistic pathway. Herein, it was found that miR-25-3p expression was significantly increased in MM tissues and cell lines. The upregulation of miR-25-3p was closely associated with anemia, renal function impairment international staging system (ISS) staging and Durie-Salmon (D-S) staging. A high level of miR-25-3p was predictive of a poor prognosis of patients with MM. In vitro, the knockdown of miR-25-3p suppressed the proliferation and promoted the apoptosis of RPMI-8226 and U266 cells, while the overexpression of miR-25-3p exerted opposite effects. In addition, phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome 10 (PTEN), a well-known tumor suppressor, was confirmed as a target of miR-25-3p in MM cells. Moreover, it was found that the PTEN expression levels were decreased, and inversely correlated with miR-25-3p expression levels in MM tissues. Further analyses revealed that the overexpression of PTEN exerted effects similar to those of miR-25-3p knockdown, whereas the knockdown of PTEN partially abolished the effects of miR-25-3p inhibitor on MM cells. Accompanied by PTEN induction, miR-25-3p promoted PI3K/AKT signaling pathway activation in MM cells. Collectively, these findings demonstrate critical roles for miR-25-3p in the pathogenesis of MM, and suggest that miR-25-3p may serve as a novel prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target of MM.

Abstract
Simple Summary Multiple myeloma (MM), a plasma cell neoplasm, is an incurable hematological malignancy. Gain/amplification of chromosome arm 1q21 (1q21+) is the most common adverse genomic abnormality associated with disease progression and drug resistance. While possible mechanisms of 1q21+ occurrence and candidate genes in the 1q21 amplicon have been suggested, the precise pathogenesis of MM with 1q21+ is unknown. Herein, we review the current knowledge about the clinicopathological features of 1q21+ MM, which can assist in effective therapeutic approaches for MM patients with 1q21+. Abstract Multiple myeloma (MM), a plasma cell neoplasm, is an incurable hematological malignancy characterized by complex genetic and prognostic heterogeneity. Gain or amplification of chromosome arm 1q21 (1q21+) is the most frequent adverse chromosomal aberration in MM, occurring in 40% of patients at diagnosis. It occurs in a subclone of the tumor as a secondary genomic event and is more amplified as the tumor progresses and a risk factor for the progression from smoldering multiple myeloma to MM. It can be divided into either 1q21 gain (3 copies) or 1q21 amplification (≥4 copies), and it has been suggested that the prognosis is worse in cases of amplification than gain. Trisomy of chromosome 1, jumping whole-arm translocations of chromosome1q, and tandem duplications lead to 1q21+ suggesting that its occurrence is not consistent at the genomic level. Many studies have reported that genes associated with the malignant phenotype of MM are situated on the 1q21 amplicon, including CKS1B, PSMD4, MCL1, ANP32E, and others. In this paper, we review the current knowledge regarding the clinical features, prognostic implications, and the speculated pathology of 1q21+ in MM, which can provide clues for an effective treatment approach to MM patients with 1q21+.

Abstract
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a challenging, progressive, and highly heterogeneous hematological malignancy. MM is characterized by multifocal proliferation of neoplastic plasma cells in the bone marrow (BM) and sometimes in extramedullary organs. Despite the availability of novel drugs and the longer median overall survival, some patients survive more than 10 years while others die rapidly. This heterogeneity is mainly driven by biological characteristics of MM cells, including genetic abnormalities. Disease progressions are mainly due to the inability of drugs to overcome refractory disease and inevitable drug-resistant relapse. In clinical practice, a bone marrow biopsy, mostly performed in one site, is still used to access the genetics of MM. However, BM biopsy use is limited by its invasive nature and by often not accurately reflecting the mutational profile of MM. Recent insights into the genetic landscape of MM provide a valuable opportunity to implement precision medicine approaches aiming to enable better patient profiling and selection of targeted therapies. In this review, we explore the use of the emerging field of liquid biopsies in myeloma patients considering current unmet medical needs, such as assessing the dynamic mutational landscape of myeloma, early predictors of treatment response, and a less invasive response monitoring.

Abstract
Background Ixazomib-revlimid-dexamethason showed significant activity in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM). Here, we evaluate ixazomib in combination with thalidomide and dexamethasone for induction treatment followed by ixazomib maintenance therapy in RRMM patients. Methods Ninety patients have been included. Ixazomib–thalidomide–dexamethasone (4 mg, day 1, 8, 15; 100 mg daily; and 40 mg weekly) was scheduled for eight cycles followed by maintenance with ixazomib for one year. Results The overall response rate was 51.1%, 23.3% achieved CR or VGPR and 10% MR resulting in a clinical benefit rate of 61.1%. In patients completing ≥2 cycles, the rates were 60.5%, 27.6% and 68.4%, respectively. Median progression-free survival (PFS) was 8.5 months in all, and 9.4 months in those completing ≥2 cycles. Response rates, PFS and overall survival (OS) were similar in patients with and without t(4;14) and/or del(17p), but PFS and OS was significantly shorter in patients with gain of 1q21. Multivariate regression analysis revealed gain of 1q21 as the most important factor associated with OS. Ixazomib maintenance resulted in an upgrade in the depth of response in 12.4% of patients. Grade 3/4 toxicities were relatively rare. Conclusions Ixazomib–thalidomide–dexamethasone followed by ixazomib maintenance therapy is active and well tolerated in patients with RRMM.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the prognostic factors in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM) patients with 1q21 amplification/gain treated with bortezomib-based regimens followed by autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (ASCT) . Methods: We retrospectively assayed 35 NDMM patients with 1q21 amplification/gain who received bortezomib-based chemotherapy followed by ASCT and maintenance therapy between January 2008 and August 2015. Results: ①The median age of 35 patients were 49(33-63)years old. Ratio of male to female was 22∶13. Monosomy1q21 amplification/gain was only seen in 3(8.6%) patients, the other 32 patients were with additional cytogenetic abnormalities including 13q14 deletion, t(11,14), t(4,14), t(14,16), 17p deletion and complex karyotype aberrations. ②The complete remission (CR) rate was 57.0% (20/35), the very good partial remission(VGPR) rate was 37.1%(13/35) and the partial remission (PR) rate was 5.7%(2/35) after ASCT. At a median follow-up of 24 (8-85) months, 3-year estimated progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) rate were (66.5±9.7)% and (69.6±9.9)%, respectively. ③As 13 patients with high-risk cytogenetic abnormalities, the median PFS and OS time was 26 and 28 months. The 3-year estimated PFS and OS was (28.0±15.9)% and (36.5±16.4)%, respectively. Another 22 patients without other high-risk cytogenetic abnormalities, the median PFS and OS time was 54 months and not reached. The 3-year estimated PFS and OS was (71.5±12.7)% and (92.3±7.4)% in this group, respectively. The presence of additional other high-risk cytogenetic abnormalities resulted in significantly shortened PFS (χ(2)=5.404, P=0.020) and OS (χ(2)=7.596, P=0.006) compared with no high-risk cytogenetic patients. Conclusion: NDMM patients with isolated1q21 amplification/gain were rarely and usually had additional other cytogenetic abnormalities. The outcomes in this group treated with bortezomib-based chemotherapy followed by ASCT and maintenance therapy were satisfied, additional other high-risk cytogenetic abnormalities made PFS and OS further shortened.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effect of 1q21 amplification (1q) on the therapeutic response and prognosis of bortezomib(Btz) in the treatment of newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (MM) patients. Methods: A total of 180 newly diagnosed MM were included for analyses of clinical characteristics, cytogenetics, objective response rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS), retrospectively. Gene expression profiling (GEP) was analyzed using publicly available R2 platform. Results: ① In 180 patients, 1q was found in 51.1% cases. Of them, 174 patients had complete follow-up data, including 88 cases with 1q and 86 without 1q (non-1q). ②Incidence of 1q was positively associated with percentage of IGH rearrangement (72.2%, P=0.017) and 1p deletion (1p) (27.8%, P=0.040). ③ The median PFS was 15.0 and 20.3 months for the 1q group and non-1q group, and the median OS was 29.4 and 44.0 months, respectively. Both PFS and OS of 1q group was significantly shorter than those of the non-1q group (P=0.029 and 0.038, respectively). Multivariate analysis further revealed that 1q was an independent prognostic factor for both PFS (HR=1.910, 95% CI 1.105-3.303, P=0.020) and OS (HR=2.353, 95% CI 1.090-5.078, P=0.029). ④ In 91 evaluable cases with 1q, very good partial remission (VGPR) rate was higher after treatment with Btz than those without Btz (62.1% vs 40.0%, P=0.032). Of note, the patients with 1q who received auto-HSCT after induction with Btz had significantly longer PFS than those without auto-HSCT (19 months vs 13 months, P=0.048). ⑤GEP analysis revealed that 1q21 amplification predominantly up-regulated expression of >50% genes within 1q21 region, and also altered expression of 28% genes in chromosome 1 and 10% genes in whole genome, particularly related to DNA repair and cell cycle. Conclusions: 1q is an independent adverse prognostic factor in patients with newly diagnosed MM. It is often associated with 1p deletion and IGH rearrangement. Patients with 1q respond well to Btz-based regimen, but they fail to gain long-term benefit from this treatment itself. However, auto-HSCT following Btz induction might improve survival of patients with 1q, suggesting a potential strategy to treat this high-risk subset of MM. GEP analysis warrants further attention in understanding the mechanisms underlying the high-risk of 1q.

Abstract
The diagnosis of multiple myeloma can be challenging, even for experienced physicians, and requires close collaboration between numerous disciplines (orthopedics, radiology, nuclear medicine, radiation therapy, hematology and oncology) before the final diagnosis of myeloma is made. The definition of multiple myeloma is based on the presence of clinical, biochemical, histopathological, and radiological markers of disease. Specific tests are needed both at presentation and during follow-up in order to reach the correct diagnosis and characterize the disease precisely. These tests can also serve prognostic purposes and are useful for follow-up of myeloma patients. Molecular analyses remain pivotal for defining high-risk myeloma and are used in updated patient stratifications, while minimal residual disease assessment via flow cytometry, molecular techniques and radiological approaches provides additional prognostic information on patients' long-term outcome. This pivotal information will guide our future treatment decisions in forthcoming clinical trials. The European Myeloma Network group updated their guidelines on different diagnostic recommendations, which should be of value to enable appropriate use of the recommendations both at diagnosis and during follow-up.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Though the levels of diagnosis and treatment of multiple myeloma (MM) have been largely improved recent years, the prognosis of these patients remain unacceptable. It is urgent for us to discover the exact mechanism and determine some new indicators for MM. MiRNAs play a critical role in the occurrence and progression of cancers, including MM. MiR-26b-5p has been reported to be closely related to cells proliferation in human pulmonary cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma and so on. MATERIAL AND METHODS Here, we measured the expression of miR-26b-5p in MM samples and cell lines by real-time PCR. Then, Kaplan-Meier Curves were applied to assess the effect of miR-26b-5p expression on MM patients prognosis. Functionally, MTT assay and Flow cytometry were conducted to explore the functions of miR-26b-5p in cells proliferation and apoptosis. Furthermore, bioinformatics tools, Pearson's correlation coefficient analysis, gain-and loss of-function experiments and rescue experiment were used to determine the relationship between JAG1 and miR-26b-5p in MM cells. In addition, we also confirmed the role of JAG1 in MM cells proliferation and apoptosis by gain-and loss of-function experiments. RESULTS Here, we reported for the first time that miR-26b-5p was under-expressed in MM by real-time PCR. Clinically, Kaplan-Meier Curves showed that MM patients with lower miR-26b-5p expression had worse prognosis. Functionally, MTT assay revealed that miR-26b-5p inhibited cells proliferation. Flow cytometry indicated that miR-26b-5p accelerated tumor cells apoptosis. Furthermore, bioinformatics tools, Pearson's correlation coefficient analysis gain-and loss of-function experiments showed that JAG1 was the target of miR-26b-5p in MM cells. And, gain-and loss of-function experiments for JAG1 confirmed that JAG1 was an oncogene in MM cells. What's more, rescue experiment showed that JAG1 mediated the function of miR-26b-5p in MM cells. CONCLUSION MiR-26b-5p acts as a tumor suppressor through suppressing cells proliferation and inducing cells apoptosis via directly targeting JAG1 in MM. MiR-26b-5p could be a potential and ponderable tumor target for MM in future.

ARNT/HIF-1β links high-risk 1q21 gain and microenvironmental hypoxia to drug resistance and poor prognosis in multiple myeloma. Cancer Med 2018; 7:3899-3911.

Abstract
1q21 gain is a common cytogenetic abnormality featuring high‐risk multiple myeloma (HRMM). However, the molecular mechanism underlying the adverse prognostic effect of 1q21 gain remains largely unclear. Here, we report that ARNT/HIF‐1β, a 1q21 gene, is highly expressed in HRMM and induced by microenvironmental hypoxia, which confers drug resistance and correlates with inferior outcome. Analysis of the gene expression profile database revealed that ARNT expression was upregulated in MM and increased with disease progression or in HRMM subtypes (particularly 1q21 gain), while correlated to shorter overall survival. In a cohort of 40 MM patients, qPCR further validated that ARNT expression was higher in MM patients than normal donors. MM cells carrying 1q21 gain or acquired drug resistance displayed a robust increase in HIF‐1β protein level. Hypoxia induced HIF‐1β expression via a NF‐κB‐dependent process. Notably, HIF‐1β overexpression impaired bortezomib sensitivity, whereas shRNA knockdown of ARNT reversed hypoxia‐mediated drug resistance. Together, these findings suggest that ARNT/HIF‐1β might represent a novel biomarker for risk stratification and prognosis of HRMM patients, as well as a potential therapeutic target for overcoming 1q21 gain‐ or microenvironment‐mediated and acquired drug resistance in MM.

Ixazomib significantly prolongs progression-free survival in high-risk relapsed/refractory myeloma patients. Blood 2017; 130:2610-2618. [PMID: 29054911 DOI: 10.1182/blood-2017-06-791228] [Citation(s) in RCA: 80] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/22/2017] [Accepted: 10/09/2017] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Certain cytogenetic abnormalities are known to adversely impact outcomes in patients with multiple myeloma (MM). The phase 3 TOURMALINE-MM1 study demonstrated a significant improvement in progression-free survival (PFS) with ixazomib-lenalidomide-dexamethasone (IRd) compared with placebo-lenalidomide-dexamethasone (placebo-Rd). This preplanned analysis assessed the efficacy and safety of IRd vs placebo-Rd according to cytogenetic risk, as assessed using fluorescence in situ hybridization. High-risk cytogenetic abnormalities were defined as del(17p), t(4;14), and/or t(14;16); additionally, patients were assessed for 1q21 amplification. Of 722 randomized patients, 552 had cytogenetic results; 137 (25%) had high-risk cytogenetic abnormalities and 172 (32%) had 1q21 amplification alone. PFS was improved with IRd vs placebo-Rd in both high-risk and standard-risk cytogenetics subgroups: in high-risk patients, the hazard ratio (HR) was 0.543 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.321-0.918; P = .021), with median PFS of 21.4 vs 9.7 months; in standard-risk patients, HR was 0.640 (95% CI, 0.462-0.888; P = .007), with median PFS of 20.6 vs 15.6 months. This PFS benefit was consistent across subgroups with individual high-risk cytogenetic abnormalities, including patients with del(17p) (HR, 0.596; 95% CI, 0.286-1.243). PFS was also longer with IRd vs placebo-Rd in patients with 1q21 amplification (HR, 0.781; 95% CI, 0.492-1.240), and in the "expanded high-risk" group, defined as those with high-risk cytogenetic abnormalities and/or 1q21 amplification (HR, 0.664; 95% CI, 0.474-0.928). IRd demonstrated substantial benefit compared with placebo-Rd in relapsed and/or refractory MM (RRMM) patients with high-risk and standard-risk cytogenetics, and improves the poor PFS associated with high-risk cytogenetic abnormalities. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT01564537.

Combination of t(4;14), del(17p13), del(1p32) and 1q21 gain FISH probes identifies clonal heterogeneity and enhances the detection of adverse cytogenetic profiles in 233 newly diagnosed multiple myeloma. Mol Cytogenet 2017; 10:26. [PMID: 28680482 PMCID: PMC5493886 DOI: 10.1186/s13039-017-0327-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/13/2017] [Accepted: 06/25/2017] [Indexed: 01/26/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Our aim was to set the FISH combination of del(17p13), t(4;14), 1q21 gain and del(1p32), four adverse cytogenetic factors rarely evaluated together, and compare our technical thresholds with those defined in the literature. Methods Two hundred thirty-three patients with MM at diagnosis were studied using FISH to target 4 unfavorable cytogenetic abnormalities: 17p13 deletion, t(4;14) translocation, 1p32 deletion and 1q21 gain. Technical thresholds were determined for each probe using isolated CD138-expressing PC from patients without MM. Results The FISH analysis identified abnormalities in 79.0% of patients. Del(17p13) was detected in 15.0% of cases, t(4;14) in 11.5%, 1q21 gain in 37.8% and del(1p32) in 8.7%. Adding 1p32/1q21 FISH probes has enabled us to identify adverse cytogenetic profiles in 39.0% of patients without del(17p13) or t(4;14). Clonal heterogeneity was observed in 51.1% of patients as well as an increase in the number of adverse abnormalities when related clones were greater than or equal to 2 (85.1% against 45.6%). Conclusion FISH allowed detecting accumulation of adverse abnormalities and clonal heterogeneity in MM with a combination of 4 probes. The impacts of these two parameters need to be evaluated, and could be included in future cytogenetic classifications.

Additional-structural-chromosomal aberrations are associated with inferior clinical outcome in patients with hyperdiploid multiple myeloma: a single-institution experience. Mod Pathol 2017; 30:843-853. [PMID: 28281554 DOI: 10.1038/modpathol.2017.3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/19/2016] [Revised: 12/29/2016] [Accepted: 12/29/2016] [Indexed: 12/18/2022]
Abstract
Multiple myeloma is cytogenetically heterogeneous and a hyperdiploid karyotype is considered currently to have standard risk. In this study, we investigated the clinical impact of additional-structural-chromosomal aberrations assessed by chromosome analysis in 284 patients with a hyperdiploid karyotype that were subdivided into four groups based on the complexity of additional-structural-chromosomal aberrations: group 1, no additional-structural-chromosomal aberrations (n=35); group 2, one additional-structural-chromosomal aberration (n=46); group 3, two additional-structural-chromosomal aberrations (n=39); group 4, ≥three additional-structural-chromosomal aberrations (n=164). Clinicopathological data among these groups showed no differences, except patients in group 1 had higher hemoglobin (P=0.031) and albumin (P=0.045) levels. The median follow-up was 55 months (range, 3-221). The median overall survival of patients in groups 1-4 was negatively correlated with the number of the additional-structural-chromosomal aberrations: 98, 76, 61, and 48 months, respectively (P<0.0001). In group 4, CKS1B gain, RB1, or TP53 deletions had no additional impact on overall survival; however, trisomy 3 or 15 conferred a much better overall survival, and monosomy 13 and 14 predicted a worse outcome. In addition, the overall survival of patients in groups 3 and 4 was similar to a subset of high-risk multiple myeloma cases (n=21) (P=0.387). About 192 (67.6%) patients who received stem cell transplantation did not show improved overall survival compared with non-stem cell transplantation patients (n=92; P=0.142) overall; however, they did show significantly improved overall survival in patients with refractory disease in group 4 (P=0.0084). Multivariate analysis showed that two or more additional-structural-chromosomal aberrations (P<0.0001), stages (P=0.02 and P=0.002) and relapsed disease (P=0.009) negatively impacted the overall survival. We conclude that hyperdiploid karyotypes in multiple myeloma are associated with additional-structural-chromosomal aberrations and a greater number of additional-structural-chromosomal aberrations predicts poorer clinical outcome. A hyperdiploid karyotype with ≥2 additional-structural-chromosomal aberrations at chromosomal level should be considered an independent high-risk factor.

Abstract
The gain/amplification of the CKS1B gene on chromosome 1q21 region is associated with a poor outcome in patients with multiple myeloma (MM). However, there are limited data on the outcome of patients with CKS1B amplification after a single high-dose chemotherapy and autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (auto-HCT). We retrospectively evaluated the outcome of patients with CKS1B amplification who received an auto-HCT between June 2012 and July 2014 at our institution. We identified 58 patients with MM and CKS1B gene amplification detected by fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH). We compared their outcomes with a propensity score-matched control group of 58 patients without CKS1B amplification who were treated at approximately the same time. The primary objective was to compare the progression-free (PFS) and overall survival (OS) between the CKS1B and the control groups. Stratified log-rank test with the matched pairs as strata and double robust estimation under the Cox model were used to assess the effect of CKS1B gene amplification on PFS or OS in the matched cohort. Patients in the CKS1B and control groups were well matched for age, gender, disease status, year of auto-HCT, response to pretransplantation therapy, and baseline hemoglobin level. In both groups, 57% patients were in first remission and 43% had relapsed disease at auto-HCT. Twenty-seven (47%) patients with CKS1B amplification had concurrent monosomy 13 or 13q deletion; 6 (10%) by conventional cytogenetics only, 16 (28%) by FISH only, and 5 (9%) by both. Median follow-up after auto-HCT was 25.4 months. The median PFS of the CKS1B and the control groups were 15.0 months and 33.0 months (P = .002), respectively. The median OS have not been reached yet. The 2-year OS rates in the CKS1B and the control groups were 62% and 91% (P = .02), respectively. In conclusion, Patients with CKS1B amplification are more likely to have additional high-risk cytogenetic abnormalities and a shorter PFS and OS after an auto-HCT.
