Targeted nanopore sequencing for the identification of ABCB1 promoter translocations in relapsed acute myeloid leukemia [RNAseq]

ABSTRACT: Resistance to chemotherapy is the most common cause of treatment failure in acute myeloid leukemia and the drug efflux pump ABCB1 is a critical mediator. Here we demonstrate that in vitro daunorubicin exposure can induce activating ABCB1 promoter translocations in human myeloid cells, similar to those recently described in recurrent high-grade serous ovarian and breast cancer. We then develop a targeted nanopore sequencing approach that enables efficient identification of ABCB1 structural variants in high-grade serous ovarian cancer. Finally, we confirm that ABCB1high cases of relapsed AML are not characterized by ABCB1 promoter translocations but instead show high-level activity of native promoters, consistent with endogenous regulation.

Project description:Low-grade serous ovarian carcinoma is believed to arise from serous borderline ovarian tumors, yet the progression from serous borderline tumors to low-grade serous ovarian carcinoma remains poorly understood. The purpose of this study was to identify differentially expressed genes between the two groups. Expression profiles were generated from 6 human ovarian surface epithelia (HOSE), 8 serous borderline ovarian tumors (SBOT), 13 low-grade serous ovarian carcinomas (LG), and 22 high-grade serous ovarian carcinomas (HG). The anterior gradient homolog 3 (AGR3) gene was found to be highly upregulated in serous borderline ovarian tumors; this finding was validated by real-time quantitative RT-PCR, Western blotting, and immunohistochemistry. Anti-AGR3 immunohistochemistry was performed on an additional 56 LG and 103 HG tissues and the results were correlated with clinical data. Expression profiling determined that 1254 genes were differentially expressed (P < 0.005) between SBOT, LG and HG tumors. Serous borderline ovarian tumors exhibited robust positive staining for AGR3, with a lower percentage of tumor cells stained in LG and HG. Immunofluorescence staining indicated that AGR3 expression was limited to ciliated cells. Tumor samples with a high percentage (>10%) of AGR3 positively stained tumor cells were associated with improved longer median survival in both the LG (P = 0.013) and HG (P = 0.008) serous ovarian carcinoma groups. The progression of serous borderline ovarian tumors to low-grade serous ovarian carcinoma may involve the de-differentiation of ciliated cells. AGR3 could serve as a prognostic marker for survival in patients with low-grade and high-grade serous ovarian carcinomas. Total RNA were extracted from microdissected human ovarian surface epithelia (HOSE, n=6), and microdissected serous borderline ovarian tumors (LMP, n=8), low-grade serous ovarian carcinomas (LGOSC, n=13), and 22 high-grade serous ovarian carcinomas (HGOSC, n=22). Gene Expression profiles were then generated with commercial GeneChip Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Array. dChip was used to identify significant differentially expressed genes between LMP/LGOSC and HGOSC
