Objective:
To investigate the overexpression frequencies of BRE and EVI1, the correlation between BRE and EVI1 expressions and their possible clinical implications in 11q23/MLL rearrangement acute leukemia.
Methods:
Cytogenetic examination of bone marrow cells was performed by short-term culture method. R-banding technique was used for karyotype analysis. 47 patients were detected by interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with dual-color break apart MLL probe. The expressions of EVI1 and BRE genes were detected by real time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RQ-PCR) . The correlation and prognostic significance were statistically tested.
Results:
11q23/MLL rearrangements were confirmed by karyotyping and FISH, respectively in 47 patients. According to immunophenotypic analyses of 37 patients, 5 patients showed positive for CD19, CD79a or CD10, 1 for CD7; the others for CD33, CD13, CD14 and CD15, and 16 of them for CD34. Of the 47 patients, 18 patients showed EVI1 overexpression and most of them presented with t (6;11) and M4/M5. The EVI1 expression was high in t (6;11) or t (9;11) subgroup comparable with levels observed in normal subgroup (

OBJECTIVETo report clinical and laboratory features of 4 cases of myeloid neoplasm with t (5;12) (q33;p13).
METHODSCytogenetic examination of bone marrow cells obtained from patients was performed by 24 h culture method. R banding technical was used for karyotype analysis. PDGFRβ gene rearrangement was detected by FISH using dual color break apart PDGFRβ probe. ETV6-PDGFRβ fusion genes were detected by multiple-reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Direct sequencing analysis was performed on the PCR products in case 1. Immunophenotype analysis was carried out by flow cytometry. Four cases were treated with imatinib (IM) and followed up.
RESULTSThe diagnoses included 3 MPN and 1 AML-M2. The t (5;12) (q33;p13) was a primary abnormality in 3 cases of MPN and a secondary abnormality in 1 case of AML-M2. PDGFRβ gene rearrangement and ETV6-PDGFRβ fusion genes were detected by FISH and multiple-RT-PCR in 4 cases, respectively. The immunophenotypical analysis of leukemia cells showed positive for CD13, CD33 and CD34. Two cases obtained MMR after the treatment of IM, one case complete hematologic and complete cytogenetic response. ETV6-PDGFRβ was negative detected by multiple-RT-PCR after the treatment of IM, but relapsed and died soon in case 4.
CONCLUSIONSThe t (5;12) myeloid neoplasm was a subtype with unique features. The t (5;12) maybe a primary chromosome abnormality in MPN and a secondary in AML. MPN with t (5;12) could benefit from IM, but not for AML. Dual-FISH was a reliable tool for detecting PDGFRβ rearrangement.
