Genomic alterations in patients with somatic loss of the Y chromosome as the sole cytogenetic finding in bone marrow cells. Haematologica 2021; 106:555-564. [PMID: 32193254 PMCID: PMC7849577 DOI: 10.3324/haematol.2019.240689] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/22/2019] [Accepted: 03/19/2020] [Indexed: 01/23/2023] Open
Abstract
Loss of the Y chromosome (LOY) is one of the most common somatic genomic alterations in hematopoietic cells in men. However, due to the high prevalence of LOY as the sole cytogenetic finding in the healthy older population, differentiating isolated LOY associated with clonal hematologic processes from aging-associated mosaicism can be difficult in the absence of definitive morphological features of disease. In the past, various investigators have proposed that a high percentage of metaphases with LOY is more likely to represent expansion of a clonal myeloid disease-associated population. It is unknown whether the proportion of metaphases with LOY is associated with the incidence of myeloid neoplasia-associated genomic alterations. To address this question, we identified bone marrow samples with LOY as an isolated cytogenetic finding and used targeted next generation sequencing-based molecular analysis to identify common myeloid neoplasia-associated somatic mutations. Among 73 patients with a median age of 75 years (range, 29-90), the percentage of metaphases with LOY was <25% in 23 patients, 25-49% in 10, 50-74% in 8 and ≥75% in 32. A threshold of ≥75% LOY was significantly associated with a morphological diagnosis of myeloid neoplasm (P=0.004). Furthermore, ≥75% LOY was associated with a higher lifetime incidence of a diagnosis of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) (P<0.0001), and in multivariate analysis ≥75% LOY was a statistically significant independent predictor of myeloid neoplasia (odds ratio 6.17; 95% confidence interval: 2.15-17.68; P=0.0007]. Higher LOY percentage (≥75%) was associated with greater likelihood of having somatic mutations (P=0.0009) and a higher number of these mutations (P=0.0002). Our findings indicate that ≥75% LOY in bone marrow cells is associated with an increased likelihood of molecular aberrations in genes commonly seen to be altered in myeloid neoplasia and with morphological features of MDS. These observations suggest that ≥75% LOY in bone marrow should be considered an MDS-associated cytogenetic aberration.

Abstract
Animal cancer models reduce genetic background heterogeneity and thus, may facilitate identification and analysis of specific genetic aberrations in tumor cells. Rat and human mammary glands have high similarity in physiology and show comparable hormone responsiveness. Thus, spontaneous and carcinogen (e.g., NMU and DMBA)-induced rat mammary models are valuable tools for genetic studies of breast cancer. In NMU-induced rat mammary tumors, activating mutations in Hras codon 12 have frequently been reported and are supposed to contribute to the mammary carcinogenic process. Involvement of Ras mutations in DMBA-induced tumors is less clear. In the present study we investigated the mutation status of the three Ras genes, Hras, Kras, and Nras, in DMBA-induced rat mammary tumors. We examined codons 12, 13, and 61 of all three genes for mutations in 71 tumors using direct sequencing method that in experimental conditions is sensitive enough to detect single nucleotide mutations even when present in only 25% of the test sample. No activating Ras gene mutation was found. Thus, in contrast to NMU-induced rat mammary tumor, tumorigenesis in DMBA-induced rat mammary tumors seems to be independent on activating mutations in the Ras genes. Our finding suggests that the genetic pathways selected in mammary tumor development are influenced by and perhaps dependent on the identity of the inducing agent, again emphasizing the importance of tumor etiology on the genetic changes in the tumor cells.

Abstract
The Chapter summarizes peculiarities of karyotypic variability during establishment and long-term cultivation of permanent cell lines. A new concept on pathways of karyotypic evolution of cells in culture is put forward. A detailed description is presented of the author's original approach of cytogenetic analysis of cell lines provided for a principally new characteristic of the cell line: its generalized reconstructed karyotype (GRK). Its use as a criterion to evaluate authenticity, purity, and stability of cell lines is discussed. Based on analysis of the GRK, two stages of karyotype evolution of cell lines are revealed: establishment and stabilization, different in karyotypic variability of the cell population and in peculiarities of clone selection. Comparison of peculiarities of karyotypic variability of leukemic and tumor cells both in vitro and in vivo was made, and general regularities of their karyotypic evolution have been established, such as nonrandom changes in the number and structure of chromosomes and deletion of one of the sex chromosomes, as well as regularities characteristic only of cells in culture in most human and animal cell lines (at least 85%) of disomy on all autosomes. The rest of the cell lines, 15%, are characterized by either partial or total monosomies on certain autosomes during long-term cultivation. Three main compensatory mechanisms of maintaining viability of cell lines that have lost genetic material are discussed: polyploidization of the initial cell clone, amplification of oncogenes (predominantly of mys family), and extracopying of whole autosomes or of their fragments.

Abstract
It has been proven that multiple cycles of metastasis can improve the metastatic potential and homing specificity of a tumor cell population. In the present study, verification of genetic alterations during changes in metastatic behavior was done by analyzing the chromosome composition of a methylcholanthrene induced murine fibrosarcoma, 3AM during multiple cycles of subcutaneous (SC) and intravenous (IV) metastasis. After 10 cycles of SC metastasis, a cell type, 7B, with a small t(19;19)(A;A) metacentric marker chromosome was enriched from 4% in the original population to 90% in FIOR. However, when the tumor cells were injected IV rather than SC, no enrichment of the 7B cell type was observed. Instead, a cell type AX with a large t(14;19)(E5;A) acrocentric marker chromosome was enriched from 1% in the parental population to 76% in F1OIV after 10 cycles of IV metastasis. The polyploid dominant FIOIV was found to be extremely high in IV metastasis (411 foci/lung) but low in SC metastasis (48 foci/lung). The diploid dominant FIOR appears to be high in both SC (163 foci/lung) and IV (301 foci/lung) metastasis. The data obtained suggest that metastasis will lead to the selection of specific preexisting cell types, and the type of cell selected will depend on the route of metastasis. Furthermore, during metastasis, new cell types may also be produced de novo through chromosomal structural and numerical aberrations.

Abstract
After 20-50 transfers, a rat myofibroblast line, Hmf-n, 'spontaneously' transforms to an established (immortalized) line of smaller, rapidly cycling fibroblastoid cells (tHmf-f). From these 1 degree transformants, colonies of larger, slower growing anchorage-independent (tHmf-e) cells of epithelioid phenotype emerge. Both transformants grow in low serum and low calcium media, but the tHmf-f cells are highly tumorigenic in nude mice, have diminished substrate adhesivity, and limited anchorage independence, whereas tHmf-e are less tumorigenic, firmly substrate adherent, and markedly anchorage independent. Most tHmf-f are trisomic; most tHmf-e transformants are hypodiploid, a third are tetraploid, and all have chromosomal abnormalities, but no trisomy. Hmf-n cells have polar stress fiber arrays terminating in vinculin adhesion plaques, colinear extracellular fibronectin matrices, and linear non-coincident deposits of fodrin. Microtubules (mt) and vimentin-intermediate filaments (IF) parallel the actin cables. Stress fibers of the tHmf-f are moderately reduced, their vinculin adhesion plaques and fibronectin matrices intact; fodrin is diffuse. Mts and IFs are normal and axial. Most epithelioid tHmf-e have no stress fibers, adhesion plaques, or extracellular fibronectin; instead, dense actin microfilament meshworks are attached to plasma membrane, as is fodrin. Mt and IF are radial. Both transformed phenotypes are stable over greater than 300 continuous passages. The differentiation-inducing agents DMSO, cyclic AMP, 5-azacytidine, and mezerein, were ineffective in normalizing shape or cytoskeleton of transformed Hmf, and butyrate was selectively toxic to 50% of tHmf-e. But hydrocortisone induced striking polarization, and increase in number, and alignment of stress fibers of both tHmf-f and tHmf-e. Growth, anchorage, cytoskeletal arrangements, and tumorigenic potential are not closely correlated in these stable, spontaneously transformed lines of distinct pheno- and karyotype originating from the same normal parental cell, suggesting independent acquisition of properties associated with transformation.

Abstract
Certain laboratory hybrid Xiphophorus fish develop heritable neoplasia. Neoplasia can also be induced in some hybrids by treatment with carcinogens. In either case the neoplasms are mediated by a "'tumor gene," that is normally controlled by linked or nonlinked "regulating genes" or both. Light and electron microscopic studies on these two types of tumors reveal important differences. The heritable tumor is a compact mass of tissue formed of densely packed melanized melanocytes often with nuclear pockets and projections. A large number of cells undergoing a process of nuclear fragmentation has been observed. The induced tumors, on the other hand, contain fewer melanized melanocytes and show a comparative increase in the amount of connective tissue. The nuclear pockets and projections commonly found in the melanocytes of the heritable tumors are not present in the melanocytes of the induced melanoma. The most important difference observed was the presence of different types of structural chromosome aberrations in the induced tumor and a total absence in the heritable ones. These anomalies seem to be epiphenomenal, and the real genetic change is subchromosomal.

Abstract
Cytogenetic studies in a 33-year-old male patient with chronic myelogenous leukemia of 7 years duration revealed a so-called i(17q) chromosome marker and other cytogenetic abnormalities during the early phase of blastic crisis which were not present at diagnosis. Careful morphologic examination of this marker using G- and C-banding techniques revealed it to be a dicentric chromosome with a very short intercentromeric area. The fact that the dicentric nature of this marker was not apparent with the conventional Giemsa stain emphasizes the usefulness of the C-banding technique in defining the origin of this important cytogenetic marker.

Abstract
Publications involving patients with any abnormality of chromosome 8 have been reviewed in detail. For the time period involved, a total of 277 cases were found, including 74 instances of congenital aneuploidy, 130 instances of acquired aneuploidy, 38 instances of congenital rearrangements, and 35 instances of acquired rearrangements. A total of 170 cases of neoplastic and hematologic disorders were included; three were associated with congenital aneuploidy, two with congenital rearrangements, and the remaining 165 with acquired aberrations. The specific disorders ranged from sideroblastic anemia through chronic and acute leukemia to solid tumors. There appears to be a definite, though non-specific correlation between congenital or acquired chromosome 8 abnormalities and the development of certain types of neoplastic growth.

Abstract
A chromosome that controls malignancy in Chinese hamster cells has been identified by analysis of the Giemsa banding pattern of a malignant cell line transformed by simian virus 40 (SV40), non-malignant revertants from this line, segregants from the revertants that were again malignant and a cell line transformed by methylcholanthrene. The malignant cell line transformed by SV40 was near diploid and had gained additional material of chromosome 3. Revertants with a suppression of malignancy and malignant revertants from which they were derived. Malignancy of these cells was associated with the ability to form colonies in agar. Cells of a line transformed by methylcholanthrene were malignant, formed almost no colonies in agar and the only chromosome change from the normal diploid chromosome banding complement was the addition of a long arm of chromosome 3. The results indicate that chromosome 3 carriers gene(s) that control malignancy in Chinese hamster cells in cell lines transformed by a viral or a chemical carcinogen and that malignancy was induced in both cell types by an increase of these genes.

Abstract
Chromatid gaps, breaks and aberrations involved in interchanges induced by N-methyl-N-nitrosourea (MNU) were found non-randomly distributed on individual chromosomes and chromosome segments (G bands) both in human diploid fibroblasts with trisomy 21 cultured in vitro. Aberration events were located exclusively in pale G bands. Considering cells in the first post-treatment mitosis, the pattern of aberration distribution, as revealed by the position of hot spots, varied with recovery time and was different in diploid and Down's cells. In comparison with diploid cells, the X chromosomes of Down's cells were not involved in aberrations. Despite the higher aberration frequencies of Down's cells, the number of hot spots and the proportion of aberrations located in hot spots were not increased in this cell type. Therefore, the increased chromosomal sensitivity to MNU of Down's cells does not reflect an increased sensitivity of special chromosomes or chromosome sites.

Abstract
The effect of N-methyl-N-nitrosourea (MNU) on the cell cycle, DNA synthesis and chromosomal sensitivity of cultivated diploid fibroblasts and fibroblasts with trisomy 21 was investigated in vitro. With the exception of the inhibition of G2, Down's cells proved to be more sensitive than diploid cells with respect to the decrease of the mitotic and labelling index, the inhibition of the progression of cells through the early and middle S and the frequency of induced chromosomal aberrations. The chromosomal sensitivity was dependent on the position of cells in the cell cycle during treatment with MNU. If treated during late S no differences concerning the S block and aberration frequencies were found between diploid and Down's cells. However, if MNU treatment took place in the middle and early S, Down's cells were more sensitive. The higher aberration frequencies in Down's cells resulted from elevated levels of chromatid breaks, multiple fragmentations and chromatid translocations. Possible reasons for the increased sensitivity of Down's cells are discussed.

Abstract
Karyotypes of 30 malignant lymphomas were studied with the aid of G-banding. Frequent occurrence of rearranged chromosomes 14 and 11 was noted. In several tumors, identical acrocentric markers, appearing after translocation of the long arm of chromosome 11 on the long arm of chromosome 14, were revealed. Other common karyotype abnormalities in lymphomas were trisomy 3 and trisomy 18. The chromosomes preferentially involved in karyotype abnormalities of the malignant lymphomas are mostly not altered in other hemoblastoses.

Abstract
Karyotyping and marker analysis of G- and C-banded metaphases from a metastatic bronchial carcinoma revealed a dominant stemline with five markers and four sidelines with additional markers. One to three minute bodies were noted in the majority of cells and these were classified as markers. On the basis of this analysis it was possible to postulate an evolutionary pathway within the tumour whereby the stemline was derived from existing sidelines.

The karyotypes of cells from 10 Burkitt lymphoma (BL) biopsies, eight cell lines established from BL and nine cell lines from non-BL sources were studied by chromosome banding techniques. With the exception of the BL-derived cell lines BJAB, GC-BJAB, Maku and U-8691 all biopsies and lines of Burkitt origin contained an extra band at the distal region of the long arm of one chromosome 14. An extra band on chromosome 14 was also found in cells of one non-BL biopsy, in cells from a lymphosarcoma-derived cell line and in a long-established cell line derived from the pleural exudate of a patient with Hodgkin's disease. A distal region at the long arm of one chromosome 8 was missing in all metaphase figures of good technical quality in the same material. The size, morphology and stain-ability of the missing region corresponded fairly well to the extra region at chromosome 14. We therefore suggest that the chromosome 14 marker represents a translocation between chromosomes 8 and 14,t (8q-; 14q+). The translocation was present neither in lymphocytes of the peripheral blood of five Burkitt patients nor in five lymphoblastoid cell lines of non-BL origin. Trisomy 7 was found in two of the 10 BL biopsies, in two BL-derived cell lines, in one non-BL biopsy, in two lymphosarcoma-derived cell lines and in one cell line derived from a patient with Hodgkin's disease.

Abstract
Among 13 Ph-positive cases of chronic granulocytic leukemia (CGL), banding studies revealed two with complex rearrangements involving translocation of the long arm of number 22 to another autosome and a segment of that chromosome translocated to the long arm of number 9. In a patient with both CGL and sickle cell anemia, the 3-way rearrangement involved chromosomes 5, 9, and 22; and he also had a second Philadelphia chromosome and two constitutional variants: pericentric inversion of the other number 9 chromosome and satellite polymorphism in the G group. The karyotype of the leukemic cells was interpreted as: 47,XY,inv(9) (p11q13),t(5;9;22)(q13;q34;q11)+del(22)(q11). In the second patient, the complex translocation in the Ph-positive cells involved chromosomes 3, 9, and 22, resulting in a karyotype interpreted as: 46,XX,t(3;9;22)(p21;q34;q11). Several reports indicate that an abnormality of chromosome 9 is not essential for the development of Ph-positive CGL, but the very high frequency of its involvement (including these unusual translocations) suggests that some type of non-random somatic association may exist between 9q and 22q which makes simultaneous breakage likely. Attempts to correlate specific types of pH chromosome rearrangements with the clinical course of CGL must await the identification of more cases and longer follow-up.
