Project description:The t(5;11)(q35;q13) reciprocal translocation is a rare chromosomal abnormality that can arise in myeloid neoplasms, mainly in children and younger adults. Here, we report a case of acute myeloid leukemia with maturation, involving an 85-year-old, in which the tumor cells harbored the t(5;11)(q35;q13) chromosomal abnormality. We also address the diagnostic and immunophenotypic characteristics of acute myeloid leukemia involving t(5;11)(q35;q13), along with a review of the literature.

Project description:We report a patient with T-lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma and a t(7;8)(q22;p11). CUX1 was identified as the fusion partner of FGFR1 by fluorescence in situ hybridization and 5' RACE-PCR. We further investigated this novel FGFR1 fusion using the interleukin-3 (IL-3) dependent Ba/F3 cell line and demonstrated IL-3 independent cell growth of CUX1-FGFR1 expressing cells. TKI258 and PKC412 potently inhibited proliferation of CUX1-FGFR1 transformed Ba/F3 cells. This growth inhibition was shown to be mediated by inhibition of CUX1-FGFR1 kinase activity for TKI258 but not PKC412. In summary, we identified a novel CUX1-FGFR1 fusion oncogene in a patient with the 8p11 myeloproliferative syndrome and demonstrated its transforming potential in the Ba/F3 cell line. Our in vitro data support the further investigation of TKI258 for the treatment of constitutively active FGFR1 fusion proteins.

Project description:Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with translocation t(8;16)(p11;p13) represents a rare entity that has been categorized as a disease-defining recurring cytogenetic abnormality with adverse risk in the 2022 European LeukemiaNet classification. This rating was mainly based on a retrospective analysis comprising patients from several large clinical trials, which, however, included only 21 patients treated with allogeneic stem cell transplantation (alloSCT). Therefore, the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation performed a registry study on a larger cohort to evaluate the role of alloSCT in t(8;16) AML. Sixty transplant recipients with t(8;16) AML were identified. Two-year overall and leukemia-free survival (OS/LFS) was 43/39%. Patients transplanted in first complete remission (CR1, n = 44) achieved a 2-year OS/LFS of 48%/48%. Following alloSCT in CR1, the multivariable analysis identified a complex karyotype (CK) as a major risk factor for relapse (HR 4.17, p = .016), lower LFS (HR 3.38, p = .01), and lower OS (HR 3.08, p = .017). Two-year OS/LFS of patients with CK was 19%/19%, in contrast to 67%/67% in patients with t(8;16) outside a CK. Other factors for inferior outcomes were older age and secondary AML. In summary, alloSCT could mitigate the adverse risk of patients with t(8;16) AML not harboring a CK, particularly when performed in CR1.

Project description:BackgroundNUP98 gene rearrangements have been reported in acute myeloid leukemia, giving rise to fusion proteins that seem to function as aberrant transcription factors, and are thought to be associated with poor prognosis.FindingsA patient with treatment-related acute myeloid leukemia presented a t(3;11)(p11;p15) as the only cytogenetic abnormality. FISH and molecular genetic analyses identified a class 1 homeobox gene, POU1F1, located on chromosome 3p11, as the fusion partner of NUP98. In addition, we have found that the patient harbored an FLT3-ITD mutation, which most likely collaborated with the NUP98-POU1F1 fusion gene in malignant transformation.ConclusionsWe have identified POU1F1 as the NUP98 fusion partner in therapy-related AML with a t(3;11)(p11;p15). This is the first POU family member identified as a fusion partner in human cancer.

Project description:Background/aimAcute undifferentiated leukemia (AUL) is leukemia which does not express lineage-specific antigens. Such cases are rare, accounting for 2.7% of all acute leukemia. The reported genetic information of AULs is limited to less than 100 cases with abnormal karyotypes and a few cases carrying chimeric genes or point mutation of a gene. We herein present the genetic findings and clinical features of a case of AUL.Case reportBone marrow cells obtained at diagnosis from a 31-year-old patient with AUL were genetically investigated. G-Banding karyotyping revealed an abnormal karyotype: 45,X,-Y,t(5;10)(q35;p12),del(12)(p13)[12]/46,XY[5]. Array comparative genomic hybridization examination confirmed the del(12)(p13) seen by G-banding but also detected additional losses from 1q, 17q, Xp, and Xq corresponding to the deletion of approximately 150 genes from these five chromosome arms. RNA sequencing detected six HNRNPH1::MLLT10 and four MLLT10::HNRNPH1 chimeric transcripts, later confirmed by reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction together with Sanger sequencing. Fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis showed the presence of HNRNPH1::MLLT10 and MLLT10::HNRNPH1 chimeric genes.ConclusionTo the best of our knowledge, this is the first AUL in which a balanced t(5;10)(q35;p12) leading to fusion of HNRNPH1 with MLLT10 has been detected. The relative leukemogenic importance of the chimeras and gene losses cannot be reliably assessed, but both mechanisms were probably important in the development of AUL.

Project description:8p11 myeloproliferative syndrome is a rare hematological malignancy with aggressive course caused by the various translocation of FGFR1. In this study, a novel FGFR1 fusion was identified by RNA sequencing in a 28-year-old male patient with acute B-lymphoblastic leukemia. The patient harbors an in-frame fusion between KIF5B exon 15 and FGFR1 exon 10. The FGFR1 fusion and its protein expression was validated by Sanger sequencing and Western blot. Meanwhile, cytogenetic analysis reported a normal karyotype and targeted DNA sequencing identified no driver mutations, respectively. Despite he achieved complete remission after induction regimen, a relapse occurred and he became refractory to chemotherapy, and salvage haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation failed to control the progressive disease. In conclusion, we present the first case of KIF5B-FGFR1 fusion in hematological malignancy. These findings extend the spectrum of translocation in 8p11 myeloproliferative syndrome, and demonstrate the great prospect of RNA sequencing in clinical practice again.

Project description:Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is a specific subtype of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) characterized by block of differentiation at the promyelocytic stage and the presence of PML-RARA fusion. In rare instances, RARA is fused with other partners in variant APL. More infrequently, non-RARA genes are rearranged in AML patients resembling APL. However, the underlying disease pathogenesis in these atypical cases is largely unknown. Here, we report the identification and characterization of a NUP98- JADE2 fusion in a pediatric AML patient showing APL-like morphology and immunophenotype. Mechanistically, we showed that NUP98-JADE2 could impair all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA)-mediated transcriptional control and myeloid differentiation. Intriguingly, NUP98-JADE2 was found to alter the subcellular distribution of wild-type JADE2, whose down-regulation similarly led to attenuated ATRA-induced responses and myeloid activation, suggesting that NUP98-JADE2 may mediate JADE2 inhibition. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a NUP98-non-RAR rearrangement identified in an AML patient mimicking APL. Our findings suggest JADE2 as a novel myeloid player involved in retinoic acid-induced differentiation. Despite lacking a rearranged RARA, our findings implicate that altered retinoic acid signaling by JADE2 disruption may underlie the APL-like features in our case, corroborating the importance of this signaling in APL pathogenesis.

Project description:Chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) constitutes a hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) disorder characterized by prominent monocytosis and myelodysplasia. Although genome sequencing has revealed the CMML mutation profile, the mechanism of disease development remains unclear. Here we show that aberrant histone acetylation by nucleoporin-98 (NUP98)-HBO1, a newly identified fusion in a patient with CMML, is sufficient to generate clinically relevant CMML pathogenesis. Overexpression of NUP98-HBO1 in murine HSC/progenitors (HSC/Ps) induced diverse CMML phenotypes, such as severe leukocytosis, increased CD115+ Ly6Chigh monocytes (an equivalent subpopulation to human classical CD14+ CD16- monocytes), macrocytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, megakaryocyte-lineage dysplasia, splenomegaly, and cachexia. A NUP98-HBO1-mediated transcriptional signature in human CD34+ cells was specifically activated in HSC/Ps from a CMML patient cohort. Besides critical determinants of monocytic cell fate choice in HSC/Ps, an oncogenic HOXA9 signature was significantly activated by NUP98-HBO1 fusion through aberrant histone acetylation. Increased HOXA9 gene expression level with disease progression was confirmed in our CMML cohort. Genetic disruption of NUP98-HBO1 histone acetyltransferase activity abrogated its leukemogenic potential and disease development in human cells and a mouse model. Furthermore, treatment of azacytidine was effective in our CMML mice. The recapitulation of CMML clinical phenotypes and gene expression profile by the HBO1 fusion suggests our new model as a useful platform for elucidating the central downstream mediators underlying diverse CMML-related mutations and testing multiple compounds, providing novel therapeutic potential.
