In 50% of the cases, the neoplastic transformation begins with a chromosomal translocation that juxtaposes the IGH gene locus to an oncogene. Gene copy number changes are also frequent in MM but less characterized than in other neoplasias. We aimed to characterize genes that are amplified and overexpressed in human myeloma cell lines (HMCL) to provide putative molecular targets for MM therapy. DESIGN AND METHODS: Nine HMCL were characterized by fluorescent in situ hybridization, comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) and cDNA microarrays for gene expression profiling and copy number changes. RESULTS: After defining the IGH-translocations present in the cell lines, we conducted expression-profiling analysis. Supervised analysis identified 166 genes with significantly different expression among the cell lines harboring MMSET/FGFR3 (4p16), MAF (16q) and CCND1 (11q13) rearrangements. Array-CGH was then performed. Five chromosomes recurrently affected by gains/amplifications in primary samples and cell lines were analyzed in detail. Sixty amplified and overexpressed genes were found and 25 (42%) of them were only overexpressed when amplified; moreover, six showed a significant association between overexpression and gain/amplification. We also found co-amplification and overexpression for genes located within the same amplicons, such as MALT1 and BCL2. INTERPRETATION AND CONCLUSIONS: Parallel analysis of gene copy numbers and expression levels by cDNA microarray in MM allowed efficient identification of genes whose expression levels are elevated because of increased copy number. This is the first time that MALT1 and BCL2 have been shown to be overexpressed and amplified in MM.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Largo, Cristina Alvarez, Sara Saez, Borja Blesa, David Martin-Subero, Jose I Gonzalez-Garcia, Ines Brieva, Jose A Dopazo, Joaquin Siebert, Reiner Calasanz, Maria J Cigudosa, Juan C Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov’t Italy Haematologica Haematologica. 2006 Feb;91(2):184-91.</style></notes></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Alvarez, S.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Diaz-Uriarte, R.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Osorio, A.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Barroso, A.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Melchor, L.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Paz, M.

To identify a somatic genetic signature of tumor progression for each familial group, BRCA1, BRCA2, and non-BRCA1/BRCA2 (BRCAX) tumors, by high-resolution comparative genomic hybridization, we have analyzed 77 tumors previously characterized for BRCA1 and BRCA2 germ line mutations. Based on a combination of the somatic genetic changes observed at the six most different chromosomal regions and the status of the estrogen receptor, we developed using random forests a molecular classifier, which assigns to a given tumor a probability to belong either to the BRCA1 or to the BRCA2 class. Because 76.5% (26 of 34) of the BRCAX cases were classified with our predictor to the BRCA1 class with a probability of &gt;50%, we analyzed the BRCA1 promoter region for aberrant methylation in all the BRCAX cases. We found that 15 of the 34 BRCAX analyzed tumors had hypermethylation of the BRCA1 gene. When we considered the predictor, we observed that all the cases with this epigenetic event were assigned to the BRCA1 class with a probability of &gt;50%. Interestingly, 84.6% of the cases (11 of 13) assigned to the BRCA1 class with a probability &gt;80% had an aberrant methylation of the BRCA1 promoter. This fact suggests that somatic BRCA1 inactivation could modify the profile of tumor progression in most of the BRCAX cases.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Alvarez, Sara Diaz-Uriarte, Ramon Osorio, Ana Barroso, Alicia Melchor, Lorenzo Paz, Maria Fe Honrado, Emiliano Rodriguez, Raquel Urioste, Miguel Valle, Laura Diez, Orland Cigudosa, Juan Cruz Dopazo, Joaquin Esteller, Manel Benitez, Javier Comparative Study Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov’t United States Clinical cancer research : an official journal of the American Association for Cancer Research Clin Cancer Res. 2005 Feb 1;11(3):1146-53.</style></notes></record></records></xml>
