Abstract

Aims: Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is the most common adult leukemia with a very heterogeneous course. Progress in molecular genetic characterization of CLL has confirmed the prognostic role of unbalanced chromosomal abnormalities currently defined by molecular cytogenetic methods: conventional karyotyping and FISH. However, a significant percentage of genomic abnormalities escapes routine investigation due to the limitations of these methods. It is presently clear that some of these aberrations have impact on prognosis and disease progression., Methods: We examined copy number changes in the tumor genomes of 50 CLL patients using bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) and/or oligonucleotide array platforms. We compared the results of arrayCGH with those obtained by FISH and conventional cytogenetics and evaluated their clinical importance., Results: A total of 111 copy number changes were detected in 43 patients (86%) with clonal abnormalities present in at least 23% of the cells. Moreover, 14 patients (28%) were found to have 39 genomic changes that had not been detected by standard cytogenetic and/or FISH analyses. These included possibly prognostically important recurrent 2p and 8q24 gains. The most frequent unbalanced changes involved chromosomes 18, 7, 3, 9 and 17. We also determined the minimal deleted region on chromosome 6q in 7 cases by chromosome 6/7 specific array., Conclusions: The results showed that a subset of potentially significant genomic aberrations in CLL is being missed by the current routine techniques. Further, we clearly demonstrated the robustness, high sensitivity and specificity of the arrayCGH analysis as well as its potential for use in routine screening of CLL.

Abstract

Three parental neuroblastoma cell lines and nine derived lines resistant to Vincristin, Doxorubicin and Cisplatin, respectively, using CGH were studied. CGH profiles of all three parental cell lines were obtained using DNA from a healthy volunteer as reference DNA. Labeled DNA from each of the drug resistant daughter cell lines and labeled DNA from their parental sensitive cell lines were hybridized to obtain a comparison of gains and losses that accompanied the development of resistance for that particular drug. All three parental cell lines were characterized by typical findings for high risk neuroblastoma: N-myc amplification, gain of 17q, and loss of 1p36.2-36.3. Acquired drug resistance in the neuroblastoma cell lines appeared to be accompanied by a large array of DNA sequence copy number changes. The regions frequently affected in chemo-resistant cell lines included gains of 13q14.1-32, and 7q11.2-31.3, 4 q. Amplifications were seen at 7q 21.1 consistent with MDR1 amplification in UKF-NB-2 VCR, UKF-NB-3 DOXO, UKF-NB-4 VCR, and UKF-NB-4 DOXO, but not in any Cisplatin resistant line. All Cisplatin and Doxorubicin and two Vincristin resistant line (UKF-NB-2 VCR and UKF-NB-4 VCR) had a deletion of part of 19q or the whole 19 chromosome. All lines resistant to Vincristin or Doxorubicin and two Cisplatin resistant lines (UKF-NB-2 CDDP and UKF-NB-4 CDDP) had a deletion of at least part of 17q, UKF-NB-4 DOXO had deletion of the whole chromosome 17. The loss of 17q may cause chemoresistance by deletion of topoisomerase IIalpha gene. Deletion of 19 q in all but one chemo-resistant lines may influence of cytochromes P450 genes which are located on 19q13.2. Also gains of 15q 22, which were detected in UKF-NB-4 VCR, UKF-NB-2 DOXO and UKF-NB-4 DO X O, may affect other cytochromes P450 genes.
