Alteration of Introns in a Hyaluronan Synthase 1 (HAS1) Minigene Convert Pre-Mrna Splicing to the Aberrant Pattern in Multiple Myeloma (MM): MM Patients Harbor Similar Changes
Aberrant pre-mRNA splice variants of hyaluronan synthase 1 (HAS1) have been identified in malignant cells from cancer patients. Bioinformatic analysis suggests that intronic sequence changes can underlie aberrant splicing. Deletions and mutations were introduced into HAS1 minigene constructs to identify regions that can influence aberrant intronic splicing, comparing the splicing pattern in tra...
متن کاملInherited Polymorphisms in Hyaluronan Synthase 1 Predict Risk of Systemic B-Cell Malignancies but Not of Breast Cancer
Genetic variations in the hyaluronan synthase 1 gene (HAS1) influence HAS1 aberrant splicing. HAS1 is aberrantly spliced in malignant cells from multiple myeloma (MM) and Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia (WM), but not in their counterparts from healthy donors. The presence of aberrant HAS1 splice variants predicts for poor survival in multiple myeloma (MM). We evaluated the influence of inherited ...
متن کاملAberrant Splicing of Hyaluronan Synthase 1 in Waldenström’s Macroglobulinemia
Inherited polymorphisms appear to be predisposing biomarkers that predict risk of developing cancer. Somatic mutations which influence gene splicing can be transforming or effect disease progression. Genetic analysis can either identify associations by large scale screening followed by functional validation, or can focus on a single gene already known to be clinically important. Recently, whole...
متن کاملHyaluronan Synthase 1: A Mysterious Enzyme with Unexpected Functions
Hyaluronan synthase 1 (HAS1) is one of three isoenzymes responsible for cellular hyaluronan synthesis. Interest in HAS1 has been limited because its role in hyaluronan production seems to be insignificant compared to the two other isoenzymes, HAS2 and HAS3, which have higher enzymatic activity. Furthermore, in most cell types studied so far, the expression of its gene is low and the enzyme requ...
متن کاملHyaluronan Synthases and RHAMM as Synergistic Mediators of Malignancy in B Lineage Cancers
Hyaluronan synthases (HASs), enzymes that synthesize hyaluronan (HA), are overexpressed, and in the case of HAS1, undergo aberrant splicing in some B lineage malignancies, including multiple myeloma (MM) and Waldenstrom’s macroglobulinemia (WM). RHAMM, the receptor for HA-mediated motility, is overexpressed in malignant B lineage cells from WM, in nonHodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL), B cell chronic lym...
