چکیده

Patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) may present with either nodal or leukemic disease. The molecular determinants underlying this different biologic behavior are not known. This study compared the pattern of genetic abnormalities in patients with nodal and leukemic phases of MCL using comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) for specific gene loci. Although both leukemic and nodal MCL showed similar genomic patterns of losses (involving 6q, 11q22-q23, 13q14, and 17p13) and gains (affecting 3q and 8q), genomic loss of chromosome 8p occurred more frequently in patients with leukemic disease (79% versus 11%, P <.001). Subsequent CGH analysis confirmed the genomic loss of 8p21-p23 in 6 of 8 MCL cell lines. Interestingly, MYC gene amplification was restricted to cases with 8p deletion. These data indicate the presence of a novel tumor suppressor gene locus on 8p, whose deletion may be associated with leukemic dissemination and poor prognosis in patients with MCL.

Sporadic Burkitt Lymphoma: A Case Report

Introduction: Burkitt lymphoma is an aggressive subtype of Hodgkin lymphoma with a doubling time of 25 hours. It is characterized by a MYC gene coding alteration which results from a translocation of chromosome 8 on the MYC gene locus and immunoglobulin heavy-chain locus (IGH) on chromosome 14. Even though HIV infection is associated to an increased risk of Burkitt lymphoma, th...

Homozygous and frequent deletion of proximal 8p sequences in human prostate cancers: identification of a potential tumor suppressor gene site.

By using tissue microdissection and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) techniques, we examined 85 prostate tumors that were paired with normal tissues from the same patients for allelic loss at 26 highly polymorphic microsatellite sequences, 21 spanning 8p and 5 localized to 8q. Sixty-four tumors (75%) demonstrated loss of at least one 8p locus. Separate distal and proximal regions of deletion wer...

Homozygous deletion and frequent allelic loss of chromosome 8p22 loci in human prostate cancer.

Allelic loss studies have been instrumental in identifying tumor suppressor gene loci in a variety of cancers. In this study we analyzed prostate cancer specimens from 52 patients for allelic loss using 8 polymorphic probes for the short arm of chromosome 8. Overall, 32 of 51 (63%) informative tumors showed loss of at least one locus on chromosome 8p. The most frequently deleted region is obser...

Loss of heterozygosity of chromosome 8 microsatellite loci implicates a candidate tumor suppressor gene between the loci D8S87 and D8S133 in human prostate cancer.

To search for specific chromosome 8 aberrations in human prostate cancer, DNA was isolated from 44 human prostate tumor samples. Twenty six tumor samples were obtained from locally progressive tumors by transurethral resection, 12 were from radical prostatectomy specimens, and 6 were from lymph node metastases. Tumor DNAs were screened for allelic losses using 16 highly polymorphic microsatelli...
