Copy number alteration signature defines undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcomas and leiomyosarcomas with poor prognosis

چکیده
Results LMS presented lower frequency of genomic alterations in comparison with UPS. None of the variables were identified as independent prognostic factors, but gains at 1q21.3 were significantly associated with poor survival and showed almost significance as an independent prognostic factor (relative risk 13.8, P = 0.019). In addition, copy number profile of UPS and LMS was indistinguishable by unsupervised hierarchical clustering analysis, one out of three clusters presented cases associated with poor prognosis (P = 0.022). Relative copy number analysis for ARNT, SLC27A3, PBXIP1 and CCND1 genes was performed by quantitative real time PCR in 11 LMS and 16 UPS confirming the array CGH findings. Gains on 1q21-q22 involving ARNT, PXIP1 and SCL27A3 were observed exclusively in a subset of UPS.

MET Gene Copy Number Alterations and Expression of MET and Hepatocyte Growth Factor Are Potential Biomarkers in Angiosarcomas and Undifferentiated Pleomorphic Sarcomas
Soft tissue sarcomas are a heterogeneous group of tumors with many different subtypes. In 2014 an estimated 12,020 newly diagnosed cases and 4,740 soft tissue sarcoma related deaths can be expected in the United States. Many soft tissue sarcomas are associated with poor prognosis and therapeutic options are often limited. The evolution of precision medicine has not yet fully reached the clinica...
متن کاملGenomic Signatures Predict Poor Outcome in Undifferentiated Pleomorphic Sarcomas and Leiomyosarcomas
Undifferentiated high-grade pleomorphic sarcomas (UPSs) display aggressive clinical behavior and frequently develop local recurrence and distant metastasis. Because these sarcomas often share similar morphological patterns with other tumors, particularly leiomyosarcomas (LMSs), classification by exclusion is frequently used. In this study, array-based comparative genomic hybridization (array CG...
متن کاملDNA Copy Number Changes in Human Malignant Fibrous Histiocytomas by Array Comparative Genomic Hybridisation
BACKGROUND Malignant fibrous histiocytomas (MFHs), or undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcomas, are in general high-grade tumours with extensive chromosomal aberrations. In order to identify recurrent chromosomal regions of gain and loss, as well as novel gene targets of potential importance for MFH development and/or progression, we have analysed DNA copy number changes in 33 MFHs using microarra...

Introduction: Sarcomas account for 1% of all tumors originated in the head and neck regions in adults. They constitute a heterogeneous group of tumors of mesenchymal origin with multiple histological variants. The undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS) subtype is the most frequent variant with an incidence range of 2.7-38%. Materials and Methods: This retrospective...

UNLABELLED Soft tissue sarcomas (STS) are malignant tumors of mesenchymal origin. A substantial portion of these tumors exhibits complex karyotypes and lack characterized chromosomal aberrations. Owing to such properties, both histopathologic and molecular classification of these tumors has been a significant challenge. This study examines the protein expression of a large number of human STS, ...
