Abstract
The Karpas-620 human myeloma cell line (HMCL) expresses high levels of Cyclin D1 (CCND1), but has a der(8)t(8;11) and a der(14)t(8;14), and not a conventional t(11;14). Fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) and array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) studies suggest that der(14)t(11;14) from a primary translocation underwent a secondary translocation with chromosome 8 to generate der(8)t(8;[14];11) and der(14)t(8;[11];14). Both secondary derivatives share extensive identical sequences from chromosomes 8, 11, and 14, including MYC and the 3' IgH enhancers. Der(14), with MYC located approximately 700 kb telomeric to the 3'IGH enhancer, expresses MYC. By contrast, der(8), with both CCND1 and MYC repositioned near a 3'IGH enhancer, expresses CCND1, which is telomeric of the enhancer, but not MYC, which is centromeric to the enhancer. The secondary translocation that dysregulated MYC resulted in extensive regions from both donor chromosomes being transmitted to both derivative chromosomes, suggesting a defect in DNA recombination or repair in the myeloma tumor cell.

Abstract
To identify proteins associated with the histological subtypes of lymphoid neoplasms, we studied the proteomes of 42 cell lines from human lymphoid neoplasms including Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL; four cell lines), B cell malignancies (19 cell lines), T cell malignancies (16 cell lines), and natural killer (NK) cell lymphoma (three cell lines). The protein spots were sequentially selected by (i) Wilcoxon or Kruskal-Wallis tests to find the spots whose intensity was significantly (p <0.05) different among the cell line groups, (ii) by statistical-learning methods to prioritize the spots according to their contribution to the classification, and (iii) by unsupervised classification methods to validate the classification robustness by the selected spots. The selected spots discriminated (i) between HL cells and other cells, (ii) between the cells from B cell malignancies, T cell malignancies, and NK cell lymphoma cells, and (iii) between HL cells and anaplastic large cell lymphoma cells. Among the 31 informative protein spots, MS identified 24 proteins corresponding to 23 spots. Previous reports did not correlate these proteins to lymphocyte differentiation, suggesting that a proteomic study would identify the novel mechanisms responsible for the histogenesis of lymphoid neoplasms. These proteins may have potential as differential diagnostic markers for lymphoid neoplasms.

Abstract
The NOTCH ligand, JAG2, was found to be overexpressed in malignant plasma cells from multiple myeloma (MM) patients and cell lines but not in nonmalignant plasma cells from tonsils, bone marrow from healthy individuals, or patients with other malignancies. In addition, JAG2 overexpression was detected in 5 of 5 patients with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS), an early phase of myeloma disease progression. This overexpression appears to be a consequence of hypomethylation of the JAG2 promoter in malignant plasma cells. An in vitro coculture assay was used to demonstrate that JAG2 induced the secretion of interleukin-6 (IL-6), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) in stromal cells. Further, the induction of IL-6 secretion was blocked in vitro by interference with anti-Notch-1 monoclonal antibodies raised against the binding sequence of Notch-1 with JAG2. Taken together, these results indicate that JAG2 overexpression may be an early event in the pathogenesis of multiple myeloma involving IL-6 production.

Abstract
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a distinct type of B cell malignancy and accounts for approximately 5-10% of non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHL). The characteristic cytogenetic aberration in MCL is the translocation (11;14)(q13;q32) present in virtually all cases. This rearrangement at the BCL1 locus at 11q13 dysregulates the gene CCND1 following juxtaposition with immunoglobulin heavy chain (IGH) transcriptional enhancers at 14q32 and leading to overexpression of its protein product, cyclin D1, which plays a key role in the control of the cell cycle. Eight continuous cell lines (plus several sister cell lines) have been hitherto established from lymph nodes or peripheral blood of patients with MCL (n=5) or with a lymphoma which would nowadays be classified as MCL (n=3). Six of these cell lines carry the specific t(11;14) translocation and a seventh cell line while being negative for t(11;14) shows a rearranged BCL1 locus and cyclin D1 overexpression. Each of these MCL cell lines is unique with regard to its immunophenotypical, additional cytogenetic and functional features. In light of the relatively low frequency of this lymphoma and the poor results of current treatment strategies, the availability of various types of MCL-derived cell lines for immunologic, cytogenetic, molecular and functional studies is expected to illuminate the biology of this disease, which in turn will be hopefully translated into new and better therapies.

Abstract
To identify cell proteins regulated by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) transcription factor EBNA-2, we analyzed a cell line with conditional EBNA-2 activity by using microarray expression profiling. This led to the identification of two novel target genes induced by EBNA-2. The first of these, interleukin-16, is an immunomodulatory cytokine involved in the regulation of CD4 T cells. The second, AML-2, is a member of the Runt domain family of transcription factors. Quiescent B cells initially expressed AML-1 but, 48 h after virus infection, the levels of AML-1 decreased dramatically, whereas the amount of AML-2 protein increased. Analysis of a panel of B-cell lines indicated that AML-2 expression is normally predominant in EBV latency III, whereas AML-1 is associated with EBV latency I or EBV-negative cells. The AML genes are the first example of cell transcription factors whose expression correlates with the latency I/III phenotype.

Abstract
Rearrangements of the c-myc oncogene have been found in most plasmacytomas induced in mice and human myeloma cell lines (HMCLs) analyzed so far. However, neither induced mouse plasmacytomas nor HMCLs represent relevant models for human multiple myeloma (MM). To evaluate the incidence of c-myc rearrangements in human plasma cell dyscrasias, sets of probes were generated to allow direct assessment of c-myc translocations on interphase plasma cells by using fluorescence in situ hybridization. After validation of these probes, a large cohort of patients with either newly diagnosed MM (n = 529), relapsed MM (n = 58), primary plasma cell leukemia (PCL; n = 23), monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (n = 65), or smoldering MM (n = 24) were analyzed. C-myc rearrangements were identified in 15% of patients with MM or primary PCL, independently of the stage of the disease (ie, diagnosis or relapse and MM or primary PCL). Analysis of the 2 main translocations observed on karyotyping, ie, t(8;14) and t(8;22), revealed that these specific translocations represented only 25% (23 of 91) of c-myc rearrangements. c-myc rearrangements were then correlated with several other patients' characteristics: illegitimate IgH recombinations, chromosome 13 deletions, and serum beta2-microglobulin levels. The only significant correlation was with a high beta2-microglobulin level (P =.002), although a trend for association with t(4;14) was observed (P =.08). Thus, c-myc rearrangement analysis in patients with MM revealed a strikingly lower incidence than that in HMCLs and plasmacytomas induced in mice, indicating that data obtained with these models cannot be directly extrapolated to human MM.

Abstract
The translocation (11;14)(q13;q32) and its molecular counterpart the BCL-1 rearrangement are features observed in mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) and less commonly in other B-cell disorders. This rearrangement leads to cyclin D1 overexpression, which may be the main pathogenic event in these tumours and is therefore recognised as a diagnostic marker. We developed a flow cytometry method to detect cyclin D1 overexpression using the monoclonal antibody (MoAb) 5D4, and characterised its frequency in 93 B-cell malignancies. The competitive reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) for cyclin D1, D2 and D3 was then performed on 40 of these cases to assess the validity of the flow cytometry method. Fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) to detect t(11;14)(q13;q32) was carried out on 31 cases and results were compared with cyclin D1 expression by flow cytometry. Twenty five cases showed cyclin D1 expression using 5D4, including MCL (12/13, 92%), chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) (4/30), B-prolymphocytic leukaemia (B-PLL) (1/4), splenic lymphoma with villous lymphocytes (SLVL) (4/13), hairy cell leukaemia (HCL) (1/7) and other B-non Hodgkins Lymphoma (B-NHL) (3/15). There was a good correlation between flow cytometry results and RT-PCR in 36/40 cases (90%), and with FISH for t(11;14) in 25/31 cases (80%). We concluded that the detection of cyclin D1 expression by flow cytometry in cell suspensions could be applied routinely to the study of B-lymphoproliferative disorders and may be of value for their diagnosis and management.

Abstract
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a neoplasm of a terminally differentiated B-cell. The disease is progressive and always lethal characterized by the slow proliferation of malignant plasma cells in the bone marrow. Much of our current understanding of the biology of MM has been obtained by studying MM-derived cell lines. Human myeloma cell lines were shown to be suitable model systems for use in various fields of the biological sciences. However, it has proved very difficult to establish cell lines from plasma cell dyscrasias. Most reported MM cell lines have been derived from patients with advanced disease and from extramedullary sites. Nevertheless, within the last 20 years more than 100 cell lines have been established. A significant portion of this panel is partially or well characterized with regard to their cell culture, clinical, immunophenotypic, cytogenetic and functional features. Distinct immunoprofiles could be assigned to MM cell lines. All MM cell lines display chromosomal aberrations; in more than 80% of the cell lines analyzed, chromosome 14 band q32 (immunoglobulin heavy chain locus) is affected; the various types of 14q+ chromosomes showed different distributions among the MM cell lines. A large percentage of MM cell lines is constitutively interleukin-6-dependent or responsive to various cytokines. It is important to realize that not every cell line established from a patient with myeloma is a neoplastic cell line. So-called 'myeloma cell lines' have been previously reported and are still widely used which are in reality Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-positive B-lymphoblastoid cell lines. The presence of the EBV-genome in residual normal B-cells provides them with a selective growth advantage after explantation. In summary, a significant number of authentic and well-characterized MM cell lines has been established and described. The availability of these bona fide MM cell lines is of great importance for the study of the biology, etiology and treatment of the disease.

Abstract
Translocations involving c-myc and an Ig locus have been reported rarely in human multiple myeloma (MM). Using specific fluorescence in situ hybridization probes, we show complex karyotypic abnormalities of the c-myc or L-myc locus in 19 of 20 MM cell lines and approximately 50% of advanced primary MM tumors. These abnormalities include unusual and complex translocations and insertions that often juxtapose myc with an IgH or IgL locus. For two advanced primary MM tumors, some tumor cells contain a karyotypic abnormality of the c-myc locus, whereas other tumor cells do not, indicating that this karyotypic abnormality of c-myc occurs as a late event. All informative MM cell lines show monoallelic expression of c-myc. For Burkitt's lymphoma and mouse plasmacytoma tumors, balanced translocation that juxtaposes c-myc with one of the Ig loci is an early, invariant event that is mediated by B cell-specific DNA modification mechanisms. By contrast, for MM, dysregulation of c-myc apparently is caused principally by complex genomic rearrangements that occur during late stages of MM progression and do not involve B cell-specific DNA modification mechanisms.

Abstract
Dysregulation of oncogenes by translocation to an IgH (14q32) or IgL (κ, 2p11 or λ, 22q11) locus is a frequent event in the pathogenesis of B-cell tumors. Translocations involving an IgH locus and a diverse but nonrandom array of chromosomal loci occur in most multiple myeloma (MM) tumors even though the translocations often are not detected by conventional cytogenetic analysis. In a continuing analysis of translocations in 21 MM lines, we show that the novel, karyotypically silent t(14;16)(q32.3;q23) translocation is present in 5 MM lines, with cloned breakpoints from 4 lines dispersed over an approximately 500-kb region centromeric to the c-maf proto-oncogene at 16q23. Another line has a t(16;22)(q23;q11), with the breakpoint telomeric to c-maf, so that the translocation breakpoints in these 6 lines bracket c-maf. Only these 6 lines overexpress c-mafmRNA. As predicted for dysregulation of c-maf by translocation, there is selective expression of one c-maf allele in 2 informative lines with translocations. This is the first human tumor in which the basic zipper c-maf transcription factor is shown to function as an oncogene.

Abstract
Plasma cells within bone marrow aspirates from multiple myeloma patients have been shown to be reactive with the lectin peanut agglutinin (PNA). This has been recently exploited by using PNA for purging bone marrow of malignant cells in autotransplantation therapy of the disease. The purpose of this investigation was to isolate and characterize the PNA-binding proteins of myeloma cells. We used the malignant plasma cell-derived line Karpas-620 (K620) as a model, and showed by affinity chromatography, SDS-PAGE, and immunoprecipitation that, among several PNA-binding proteins, a major one is an incompletely sialylated form of CD44. CD44 is a well-known homing receptor protein which is rich in carbohydrate and usually completely sialylated so that it does not react with PNA. We have then examined the PNA reactivity of myeloma cells from different patients and showed a clear difference in the profile of PNA-binding proteins from case to case. Moreover, in contrast to K620 cells, some of the patient plasma cells tested did not have a PNA-binding form of CD44. In conclusion, therefore, we have shown that a number of different proteins participate in PNA binding by malignant plasma cells. Moreover, we have demonstrated a novel, incompletely sialylated form of CD44 on a myeloma cell line. It is known that the level of glycosylation of CD44 and other proteins may affect their function, but how this relates to the malignant behaviour of plasma cells remains to be determined.

Abstract
A new myeloma cell line designated FLAM-76 was established from a patient with an aggressive nonsecretory plasma cell leukemia. The cell line exhibited morphologic features of flaming cells and contained an abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm with many dilated cisternae of rough endoplasmic reticulum. FLAM-76 cells were positive for cytoplasmic kappa (kapp)-type immunoglobulin but did not secrete it into the culture medium. The cells proliferated in the presence of exogenous interleukin-6 (IL-6) and more than 800 pg/ml of IL-6 was necessary for their continuous growth. The cells did not grow without IL-6, and they did not produce IL-6. Thus, the growth of FLAM-76 appeared to be regulated by the paracrine mechanism of IL-6. Alpha-interferon (alpha-IFN) inhibited the IL-6-dependent growth of FLAM-76 in doses greater than 1000 U/ml. FLAM-76 cells expressed CD38 (OKT10) and cell adhesion-associated antigens such as CD44 and CD54 (ICAM-1). Chromosome analysis revealed FLAM-76 to have a hypodiploid chromosome constitution with t(11;14)(q13;q32) abnormality, which frequently is seen in neoplasms of B-cell origin. Immunoglobulin (JH and Ck) gene rearrangement (but no BCL-1 gene rearrangement) was found in this cell line.

Abstract
Four patients with plasma cell leukemia (PCL) and two with multiple myeloma (MM) in transformation had complex numerical and structural chromosome abnormalities. From data published in the literature, the cytogenetic patterns of 46 cases of PCL or MM in the leukemic phase are compared with chromosomal abnormalities found in MM. Although the spectrum of chromosomal abnormalities is comparable in both diseases, the incidence of chromosome abnormalities is higher in PCL than in MM. Hypodiploidy with monosomies for chromosomes 13, 16, 17, and 18 is also more frequent in PCL than in MM. A mutation within the TP53 gene was detected in one of the three patients studied molecularly.

Abstract
The surface phenotype of neoplastic plasma cells from peripheral blood of plasma cell leukaemia patients and bone marrow of patients with myelomatosis was investigated with two monoclonal antibody panels including 50 selected from the B cell panel of the IVth International Workshop on Leucocyte Differentiation Antigens. The majority of myelomas expressed CD24 (HB8 epitope only), CD38, CD44, CD54, and the antigen recognized by the monoclonal antibody 8A. A range of other antigens may also be expressed including CD10, CD32 (FcR II), CD19, CD20 and MHC Class II. Antigens expressed by myeloma plasma cells can be considered in three groups: (a) antigens associated with lymphocyte and plasma cell differentiation: (b) antigens which are not lineage specific: and (c) molecules concerned with lymphocyte recirculation and intercellular adhesion (CD44 and CD54). The significance of CD44 and CD54 expression by plasma cells and the potential interaction of plasma cells with T lymphocytes and monocytes is discussed.
