10.5114/aoms.2015.53289 | Systematic review/Meta-analysis The role of gender in patients with diffuse large B cell lymphoma treated with rituximab-containing regimens: a meta-analysis | Diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Although gender has not been included in prognostic systems, male gender has been found as a bad prognostic indicator in Hodgkin lymphoma, follicular lymphoma and chronic lymphocytic leukemia. The relationship between gender and prognosis is not clear in patients with DLBCL treated with rituximab-containing regimens. The aim of this meta-analysis is to determine the prognostic/predictive role of gender in patients with DLBCL treated with rituximab-containing regimens.We systematically searched for studies investigating the relationships between gender and prognosis in DLBCL treated with rituximab-containing regimens. After careful review, survival data were extracted from eligible studies. A meta-analysis was performed to generate combined hazard ratios for overall survival, disease-free survival (DFS) and event-free survival (EFS).A total of 5635 patients from 20 studies were included in the analysis. Our results showed that male gender was associated with poor prognosis in terms of overall survival (OS) (hazard ratio (HR) = 1.155; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.037-1.286; p < 0.009). The pooled hazard ratio for DFS and EFS showed that male gender was not statistically significant (HR = 1.219; 95% CI: 0.782-1.899; p = 0.382, HR = 0.809; 95% CI: 0.577-1.133; p = 0.217).The present meta-analysis indicated male gender to be associated with a poor prognosis in patients with DLBCL treated with rituximab-containing regimens. | [

10.31557/apjcp.2022.23.9.3229 | Interleukin-10-1082A>G (rs1800896) Single Nucleotide Polymorphism is Not a Risk Factor of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia in Sudanese Population | Objectif : La présente étude a été menée pour examiner l'association entre le polymorphismeIL-10-1082A >G (rs 1800896) et le risque de leucémie lymphoïde chronique et pour évaluer la corrélation entre ce polymorphisme et les caractères clinicopathologiques. Méthodes : Une étude cas-témoins a été menée dans l'État de Khartoum, au Soudan, entre avril 2017 et avril 2018, auprès de 110 patients atteints de LLC et de 80 volontaires sains en tant que groupe témoin. Un examen physique, une numération formule sanguine complète et un immunophénotype ont été effectués chez tous les patients pour confirmer le diagnostic. La stadification clinique telle que Rai et Binet a été étudiée. CD38 et ZAP70 ont été réalisés par cytométrie de flux. Des échantillons de sang ont été prélevés chez tous les participants ; l'ADN a été extrait à l'aide du kit d'extraction d'ADN sanguin ANALYTIKJENA et analysé le polymorphisme IL-10-1082A >G à l'aide de la réaction en chaîne de la polymérase spécifique de l'allèle. L'analyse statistique a été réalisée à l'aide d'un progiciel statistique pour la version 23.0 du logiciel des sciences sociales. Résultats : La fréquence des génotypes AA, AG et GG était de 32,7 %, 55,5 % et 11,8 % pour le groupe de patients et de 31,25 %, 51,25 % et 17,5 % dans le groupe témoin, respectivement. Le génotype de l'IL-10 (-1082A>G) n'était pas associé à la sensibilité de la LLC dans notre population. L'étude a montré que l'allèle G du gène IL-10 (-1082A >G) est associé au sexe masculin. Cependant, aucune association significative n'a été trouvée entre le génotype -1082A >G et les caractères clinicopathologiques. Conclusion : Nos résultats ne supportent pas l'implication du polymorphisme du gène promoteur IL-10 − 1082A >G dans la susceptibilité accrue à la LLC. L'allèle IL-10-1082G (IL-10-1082AG ou IL-10-1082GG) a été trouvé plus fréquemment chez les hommes. De plus, aucune association n'a été observée entre le polymorphisme IL-10-1082A >G et les systèmes de stades cliniques ainsi que les marqueurs de mauvais pronostic établis. Enfin, au sein du groupe de patients atteints de LLC, il n'y avait pas de différence entre l'âge au diagnostic et les paramètres hématologiques en fonction des distributions génotypiques. | [

10.3892/ijo.2012.1528 | Epimutation and cancer: A new carcinogenic mechanism of Lynch syndrome | Epimutation is defined as abnormal transcriptional repression of active genes and/or abnormal activation of usually repressed genes caused by errors in epigenetic gene repression. Epimutation arises in somatic cells and the germline, and constitutional epimutation may also occur. Epimutation is the first step of tumorigenesis and can be a direct cause of carcinogenesis. Cancers associated with epimutation include Lynch syndrome (hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer, HNPCC), chronic lymphocytic leukemia, breast cancer and ovarian cancer. Epimutation has been shown for many tumor suppressor genes, including RB, VHL, hMLH1, APC and BRCA1, in sporadic cancers. Methylation has recently been shown in DNA from normal tissues and peripheral blood in cases of sporadic colorectal cancer and many studies show constitutive epimutation in cancers. Epimutation of DNA mismatch repair (MMR) genes (BRCA1, hMLH1 and hMSH2) involved in development familial cancers has also been found. These results have led to a focus on epimutation as a novel oncogenic mechanism. | [

10.7554/elife.98747.3 | The Jag2/Notch1 signaling axis promotes sebaceous gland differentiation and controls progenitor proliferation | <jats:p>The sebaceous gland (SG) is a vital appendage of the epidermis, and its normal homeostasis and function is crucial for effective maintenance of the skin barrier. Notch signaling is a well-known regulator of epidermal differentiation, and has also been shown to be involved in postnatal maintenance of SGs. However, the precise role of Notch signaling in regulating SG differentiation in the adult homeostatic skin remains unclear. While there is evidence to suggest that Notch1 is the primary Notch receptor involved in regulating the differentiation process, the ligand remains unknown. Using monoclonal therapeutic antibodies designed to specifically inhibit of each of the Notch ligands or receptors, we have identified the Jag2/Notch1 signaling axis as the primary regulator of sebocyte differentiation in homeostatic skin. Mature sebocytes are lost upon specific inhibition of the Jag2 ligand or Notch1 receptor, resulting in the accumulation of proliferative stem/progenitor cells in the SG. Strikingly, this phenotype is reversible, as these stem/progenitor cells re-enter differentiation when the inhibition of Notch activity is lifted. Thus, Notch activity promotes correct sebocyte differentiation, and is required to restrict progenitor proliferation.</jats:p> | [

10.1186/s13000-017-0634-3 | Detection of 22 common leukemic fusion genes using a single-step multiplex qRT-PCR-based assay | Fusion genes generated from chromosomal translocation play an important role in hematological malignancies. Detection of fusion genes currently employ use of either conventional RT-PCR methods or fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH), where both methods involve tedious methodologies and require prior characterization of chromosomal translocation events as determined by cytogenetic analysis. In this study, we describe a real-time quantitative reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR)-based multi-fusion gene screening method with the capacity to detect 22 fusion genes commonly found in leukemia. This method does not require pre-characterization of gene translocation events, thereby facilitating immediate diagnosis and therapeutic management.We performed fluorescent qRT-PCR (F-qRT-PCR) using a commercially-available multi-fusion gene detection kit on a patient cohort of 345 individuals comprising 108 cases diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) for initial evaluation; remaining patients within the cohort were assayed for confirmatory diagnosis. Results obtained by F-qRT-PCR were compared alongside patient analysis by cytogenetic characterization.Gene translocations detected by F-qRT-PCR in AML cases were diagnosed in 69.4% of the patient cohort, which was comparatively similar to 68.5% as diagnosed by cytogenetic analysis, thereby demonstrating 99.1% concordance. Overall gene fusion was detected in 53.7% of the overall patient population by F-qRT-PCR, 52.9% by cytogenetic prediction in leukemia, and 9.1% in non-leukemia patients by both methods. The overall concordance rate was calculated to be 99.0%. Fusion genes were detected by F-qRT-PCR in 97.3% of patients with CML, followed by 69.4% with AML, 33.3% with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), 9.1% with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), and 0% with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).We describe the use of a F-qRT-PCR-based multi-fusion gene screening method as an efficient one-step diagnostic procedure as an effective alternative to lengthy conventional diagnostic procedures requiring both cytogenetic analysis followed by targeted quantitative reverse transcription (qRT-PCR) methods, thus allowing timely patient management. | [

10.1038/s41467-024-46547-7 | Accelerated DNA replication fork speed due to loss of R-loops in myelodysplastic syndromes with SF3B1 mutation | <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) with mutated <jats:italic>SF3B1</jats:italic> gene present features including a favourable outcome distinct from MDS with mutations in other splicing factor genes <jats:italic>SRSF2</jats:italic> or <jats:italic>U2AF1</jats:italic>. Molecular bases of these divergences are poorly understood. Here we find that <jats:italic>SF3B1</jats:italic>-mutated MDS show reduced R-loop formation predominating in gene bodies associated with intron retention reduction, not found in <jats:italic>U2AF1</jats:italic>- or <jats:italic>SRSF2</jats:italic>-mutated MDS. Compared to erythroblasts from <jats:italic>SRSF2-</jats:italic> or <jats:italic>U2AF1</jats:italic>-mutated patients, <jats:italic>SF3B1</jats:italic>-mutated erythroblasts exhibit augmented DNA synthesis, accelerated replication forks, and single-stranded DNA exposure upon differentiation. Importantly, histone deacetylase inhibition using vorinostat restores R-loop formation, slows down DNA replication forks and improves <jats:italic>SF3B1</jats:italic>-mutated erythroblast differentiation. In conclusion, loss of R-loops with associated DNA replication stress represents a hallmark of <jats:italic>SF3B1</jats:italic>-mutated MDS ineffective erythropoiesis, which could be used as a therapeutic target.</jats:p> | [
