Objective To investigate the clinical and biologic characteristics of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with 6q deletions (6q-). Methods Two cases of with 6q deletions (6q-) were here described, and all the AML cases with 6q- found in the literature were reviewed. Results Two cases were diagnosed with AMLMt and AML-M2, respectively. Myloloid markers were positive on the leukemia cells in both cases, none of them expressing lymphocytic antigens. The karyotype of these patients were 46,XX,del(6)(q21q25),t(4; 7)(q10;q10)[3]/46,XX,del(6)(q21q25)[2]/46,XX[25], and 46,XX,del(6)(q23),t(7;11)(p15;p15)[5]/46,XX,t(7;11)' (p15;p15)[9]/46,XX [6]. Until now, 28 cases (including present 2 cases) of AML with 6q- have been documented in the world literature. Many of the AML patients with 6q -have additional chromosomal abnormalities. The breakpoints on 6q- were widely distributed from q12 to q27, mainly involved in the 6q21-23 region. Overall, the AML patients with 6q- were associated with an unfavorable clinical outcome, with a poor response to chemotherapy and a shorter duration. 6q-clone may itself confer a malignant clinical outcome. The 6q- found in some AML cases may associate with leukemogenesis via an activation of an oncogene other than myb or deletion of an antioncogene located in the long arm of chromosome 6. Conclusion Deletion of 6q is a very rare event in AML. AML with 6q- had distinct biologic features and a. poor clinical outcome.

Objective To investigate the mechanism that BC047440 gene regulates nuclear fac-tor κB sigal passway and analyze the differential expression gene between HepG2 cells and HepG2 cells BC047440 gene silenced by RNAi using 35K Human Genome Array. Methods The differential expres-sion gene between HepG2 cells and HepG2 cells with BC047440 gene silenced was analyzed by 35K Human Genome Array, and the data were submitted to the database and MAS system of Capitalbio Corporation.Then TRAF6 was confirmed by RT-PCR test. Results Among the total 35000 probe sets, the expression of 59 genes was down-regulated for more than 50% and 130 genes were up-regulated more than 2 fold in the silencing group when compared with normal controls. TRAF6 mRNA was decreased for 29.5% in silicening HepG2 compared with that of wild HepG2 by RT-PCR, which is similar to human genome array(23.06%).Conclusion The high throughput and effective oligomicroarray can analyze the differential expression gene and BC047440 gene might regulate NF-κB signal pathway inderectly by TRAF6.

Objective To isolate and study the phenotype and biological characteristics of chronic myelogenous leukemia-derived mesenchymal stem cells. Methods Cultivate the mesenchymal stem cells from chronic myelogenous leukemia in vitro, identify the immunophenotype by fluorescence-activated cell sorter (FACS), and detect the bcr-abl fusion gene by RT-PCR and FISH. Results The mesenchymal stem cells from chronic myelogenous leukemia can express the bcr-abl fusion gene. Conclusion These findings provide the evidence that the rearrangement of bcr-abl gene might happen at least more primitive than CD+34 CD-38 cells.

Objective To investigate the effect of dysfunction of T lymphocytes on clonal haematogenesis in patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Methods The cytogentics, the subsets of lymphocytes and their activation in 76 patients with MDS were analyzed. Results There were 36 patients with normal karyotype and 40 patients with abnormal karyotype. The incidence of abnormal karyotype were 52.6 %. There were 24 cases (60.0 %) with trisomy 8 (+8) in 40 cases of abnormal karyotype. The expression rates of CD+3 CD-19 cells, CD+3 CD-4 CD+8 cells and CD+3 HLA-DR+ cells in MDS were significantly increased, and CD-3 (CD16CD56)+ cells were significantly lower than that in control group. The expression rates of CD+3 (CD16CD56)+ cells in MDS with abnormal karyotype were significantly higher than that in control group. The expression rates of CD+3 CD+4 CD-8 cells in +8 MDS were significantly lower than that in MDS patients with normal karyotype and with other abnormal karyotype. The ratio of CD4/CD8 in +8 MDS were significantly lower than that in control group. Conclusion The abnormalities of T cell subsets and functions in patients with MDS were observed and the proliferation of malignant clone was prevalent which indicated a poor prognosis in MDS with abnormal karyotype. Dysfunction of immunosurveillance was more aggravated in +8 MDS, which led to excess proliferation of malignant clone and over inhibition of remaining haematogenesis.

Objective To investigate the survival of oral arsenic-containing Qinghuang Powder (QHP) and low intensive chemotherapy (LIC) in the treatment of elderly patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML).Methods Forty-two AML patients older than 60 years in Xiyuan Hospital from January 2015 to December 2017 were retrospectively analyzed.Of them,20 cases were treated with QHP (QHP group),22 cases were treated with LIC (LIC group).The survivals of the two groups were compared.Results There was no significant difference of median survival time (13 months vs.13.5 months,x2 =0.096,P =0.757),1-year survival rates (59.1％ vs.70.0 ％,x2 =0.543,P =0.461),2-year survival rates (13.6 ％ vs.15.0 ％,x2 =0.016,P ＞ 0.05),and 3-year survival rates (4.6 ％ vs.5.0 ％,x2 =0.005,P ＞ 0.05) between LIC and QHP groups.There was no significant difference of median survival time in age ≥75 year (12 months vs.12.5 months,x2 =1.317,P =0.251),performance status scores ＞ 2 (12 months vs.12 months,x2 =0.834,P =0.361),hematopoietic stem cell transplantation with combined disease index ＞ 2 (12 months vs.13 months,x2 =1.726,P =0.189),secondary AML (10 months vs.14 months,x2 =1.552,P =0.213),and poor cytogenetics (12 months vs.8 months,x2 =0.479,P =0.489) between LIC and QHP group.Conclusion The survival of elderly AML patients is considerable in patients treated with oral QHP and LIC,which suggests that oral QHP may be an equivalent alternative treatment since elderly AML (especially more than 75 years) patients refused to LIC therapy.

Objective: To analyze the gene mutations in the patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). Methods: Forty-seven patients with MDS newly diagnosed in Xiyuan Hospital, China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences from January 2016 to July 2017 were enrolled. NGS 127-gene panel was used to detect the gene mutations, and the relationship between the gene mutations and the clinicopathological features was also analyzed. Results: Thirty-one (66.0 %) cases had gene mutations in 47 patients with MDS, and 23 gene mutations were detected with clinical significances. There were 7 mutant genes with a mutation frequency over 5 % in the population, including U2AF1 (23.4 %), SF3B1 (12.8 %), ASXL1 (10.6 %), TET2 (8.5 %), BCOR (8.5 %), TP53 (8.5 %) and DNMT3A (6.4 %) in turn. Among 31 patients with gene mutations, 16 (51.6 %) patients had ≥ 2 synergistic mutations, and 12 cases had synergistic mutations in different genetic functional groups, which was higher than that in same genetic functional groups (4 cases). There was a tendency of coexistence in IDH2-KRAS, IDH2-SRSF2, IDH2-STAG2, KRAS-SRSF2, KRAS-STAG2, RUNX1-PHF6, EZH2-ASXL1, EZH2-ZRSR2, and NPM1-NRAS (all P < 0.05). The variant allele frequency (VAF) of signaling pathway related genes including JAK2, KRAS, NRAS, SH2B3 was low in general and in a sub-clone status. JAK2 gene mutation was observed in 1 case with MDS-U. SH2B3 gene mutation was observed in a patient with very poor prognosis of karyotype. SETPB1 and EZH1 gene mutations were observed in two patients with high-risk revised international prognostic scoring system (IPSS-R). Conclusions The common mutated genes include U2AF1, SF3B1, ASXL1 and TET2. The genes in different genetic functional groups tend to synergistic mutations. Gene mutations can be used to predict the prognosis of diseases and become the target in the treatment of MDS.
