Characteristics of genetic alterations of peripheral T-cell lymphoma in childhood including identification of novel fusion genes: the Japan Children's Cancer Group (JCCG).

Abstract
Peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) is a group of heterogeneous non-Hodgkin lymphomas showing a mature T-cell or natural killer cell phenotype, but its molecular abnormalities in paediatric patients remain unclear. By employing next-generation sequencing and multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification of tumour samples from 26 patients, we identified somatic alterations in paediatric PTCL including Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-negative (EBV- ) and EBV-positive (EBV+ ) patients. As recurrent mutational targets for PTCL, we identified several previously unreported genes, including TNS1, ZFHX3, LRP2, NCOA2 and HOXA1, as well as genes previously reported in adult patients, e.g. TET2, CDKN2A, STAT3 and TP53. However, for other reported mutations, VAV1-related abnormalities were absent and mutations of NRAS, GATA3 and JAK3 showed a low frequency in our cohort. Concerning the association of EBV infection, two novel fusion genes: STAG2-AFF2 and ITPR2-FSTL4, and deletion and alteration of CDKN2A/2B, LMO1 and HOXA1 were identified in EBV- PTCL, but not in EBV+ PTCL. Conversely, alterations of PCDHGA4, ADAR, CUL9 and TP53 were identified only in EBV+ PTCL. Our observations suggest a clear difference in the molecular mechanism of onset between paediatric and adult PTCL and a difference in the characteristics of genetic alterations between EBV- and EBV+ paediatric PTCL.

Fang Z, Li C, Li S. MicroRNA-193b acts as a tumor suppressor in colon cancer progression via targeting RAB22A. Exp Ther Med 2019; 17:3921-3928. [PMID: 31007734 PMCID: PMC6468329 DOI: 10.3892/etm.2019.7435] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/13/2016] [Accepted: 02/04/2019] [Indexed: 01/08/2023] Open
Abstract
To explore microRNA (miR)-193b expression and its potential role in colon cancer, reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction was performed to detect the miR-193b expression levels in 62 colon cancer tissues and normal adjacent tissues. The miR-193b-overexpressed cell line SW620 was used to study the role of miR-193b in colon cancer. Subsequently, a Transwell assay and cell cycle assay were performed to observe the functional cell changes in the in vitro expression levels of miR-193b. Results indicated that miR-193b expression levels were significantly decreased in colon cancer tissues compared with adjacent normal tissue (P<0.001) and the expression of miR-193b was significantly correlated with TNM staging (P=0.03) and lymph node invasion (P=0.007). Furthermore, overexpression of miR-193b significantly decreased colon cancer cell cycle progression and its migration ability. In addition, the present findings suggested that the increased expression of miR-193b by RAB22A, inhibited downstream proteins involved in the Ras signaling pathway, including the Ras and extracellular signal-related kinase which may inhibit cancer proliferation and migration. In conclusion, the aim was to clarify the association of miR-193b expression with colon cancer, and to explore the mechanism of miR-193b in colon cancer proliferation and cell migration. The preliminary findings revealed that miR-193b may have an important role in the process in colon cancer cell cycle and migration by the RAB22A-Ras signaling pathway, thus providing a theoretical basis for miR-193b as a potential molecular target for colon cancer treatment.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) represent a class of small non-coding single-stranded RNA molecules acting as master regulators of gene expression post transcriptionally by inhibiting the translation or inducing the degradation of target messenger RNAs (mRNAs). In particular, the miR-17-92 cluster is widely expressed in many different cell types and is essential for many developmental and pathogenic processes. As a strong oncogene, miR-17-92 can regulate multiple cellular processes that favor malignant transformation, promoting cell survival, rapid cell proliferation, and increased angiogenesis. The miR-17-92 cluster has been reported to be involved in hematopoietic malignancies including diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, mantle cell lymphoma, Burkitt's lymphoma, and chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Given the multiple and potent effects on cellular proliferation and apoptosis exerted by the miR-17-92 cluster, miRNAs belonging to the cluster surely represent attractive targets for cancer therapy also in the context of lymphoproliferative disorders. In the present review, we focus on the role of the miR-17-92 cluster in lymphoproliferative disorders, including diagnostic/prognostic implications, and on the potential applications of anti-miRNAs based therapies targeting miRNAs belonging to the cluster.
