    Abstract: Purpose: Human endogenous retroviruses (HERV) encode 8% of the human genome. While HERVs may play a role in autoimmune and neoplastic disease, no mechanistic association has yet been established. We studied the expression and immunogenicity of a HERV-K GAG protein encoded on chromosome 22q11.23 in relation to the clinical course of prostate cancer. Experimental Design: In vitro expression of GAG-HERV-K was analyzed in panels of normal and malignant tissues, microarrays, and cell lines, and effects of demethylation and androgen stimulation were evaluated. Patient sera were analyzed for seroreactivity to GAG-HERV-K and other self-antigens by ELISA and seromics (protein array profiling). Results: GAG-HERV-K expression was most frequent in prostate tissues and regulated both by demethylation of the promoter region and by androgen stimulation. Serum screening revealed that antibodies to GAG-HERV-K are found in a subset of patients with prostate cancer (33 of 483, 6.8%) but rarely in male healthy donors (1 of 55, 1.8%). Autoantibodies to GAG-HERV-K occurred more frequently in patients with advanced prostate cancer (29 of 191 in stage III–IV, 21.0%) than in early prostate cancer (4 of 292 in stages I–II, 1.4%). Presence of GAG-HERV-K serum antibody was correlated with worse survival of patients with prostate cancer, with a trend for faster biochemical recurrence in patients with antibodies to GAG-HERV-K. Conclusions: Preferential expression of GAG-HERV-K ch22q11.23 in prostate cancer tissue and increased frequency of autoantibodies observed in patients with advanced prostate cancer make this protein one of the first bona fide retroviral cancer antigens in humans, with potential as a biomarker for progression and biochemical recurrence rate of prostate cancer.

    Abstract: Purpose: Epigenetic changes such as DNA methylation play a key role in the development and progression of multiple myeloma. Our aim in the present study was to use genomic screening to identify genes targeted for epigenetic inactivation in multiple myeloma and assess their role in the development of resistance to dexamethasone. Experimental Design: Gene expression was examined using microarray screening, reverse transcription-PCR, and real-time quantitative PCR. DNA methylation was examined using bisulfite PCR, bisulfite sequencing, and bisulfite pyrosequencing in 14 multiple myeloma cell lines, 87 multiple myeloma specimens, and 12 control bone marrow samples. WST-8 assays were used to assess cell viability after treatment with 5-aza-2′-deoxycytidine and/or dexamethasone. Results: Microarray analysis was done to screen for genes up-regulated by 5-aza-2′-deoxycytidine. In RPMI8226 cells, 128 genes were up-regulated, whereas 83 genes were up-regulated in KMS12PE cells. Methylation of 22 genes with CpG islands in their 5′ regions, including RASD1, was confirmed. Methylation of RASD1 was associated with its inactivation, which correlated with resistance to dexamethasone. Treating multiple myeloma cells with 5-aza-2′-deoxycytidine restored sensitivity to dexamethasone. Methylation of RASD1 was also detected in a subset of primary multiple myeloma specimens, and the levels of methylation were increased after repeated antitumor treatments. Gene signature analysis revealed various genes to be synergistically induced by treatment with a combination of 5-aza-2′-deoxycytidine plus dexamethasone. Conclusion: Our findings indicate that epigenetic inactivation of genes, including RASD1, plays a key role in the development of dexamethasone resistance in multiple myeloma. Moreover, they show the utility of demethylation therapy in cases of advanced multiple myeloma.

    Abstract: Background: The Phase III POTENT trial demonstrated an improvement in invasive disease-free survival (IDFS) by the addition of S-1, an oral fluoropyrimidine, to adjuvant endocrine therapy in patients with ER-positive/HER2-negative early breast cancer. Because the trial was terminated at the interim analysis as the primary endpoint was met, the result of the overall survival (OS) remains immature. Methods: This multicenter observational study aimed to investigate the survival outcomes of patients who participated in the POTENT trial, in which patients with stage I to IIIB ER-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer without protocol-defined low-risk features received adjuvant endocrine therapy alone or with S-1 for 1 year. Of the full analysis set (FAS) of the POTENT trial (N=1930), patients who withdrew the consent or whose institutions terminated the contract were excluded from this study. The primary endpoint was OS. Secondary endpoints were IDFS and distant recurrence-free survival (DRFS). Results: A total of 337 patients (17%) in the POTENT study were excluded from this analysis (eight patients withdrew consent and 329 patients for institutions whose contract had been terminated). A total of 1593 patients were included in this study (803 in the endocrine therapy alone group and 790 in the endocrine therapy plus S-1 group). The median follow-up was 77.5 months (IQR: 68.8–86.0). The median duration of endocrine therapy was 71 and 69 months in the endocrine therapy alone and endocrine therapy plus S-1 groups, respectively. The patient characteristics were well balanced between the treatment groups, except for the number of lymph nodes involved. The endocrine therapy alone group included more patients with four or more positive nodes than the endocrine therapy plus S-1 group (12% vs. 9%, P=0.01). 58 (7%) patients in the endocrine therapy alone group and 51 (6%) in the endocrine therapy plus S-1 group died (HR 0.89, 95%CI: 0.61–1.30, P=0.54). The 5-year overall survival estimate was 94.7% (95%CI: 92.9–96.1%) in the endocrine therapy alone group and 95.6% (95%CI: 93.8–96.8%) in the endocrine therapy plus S-1 group. IDFS events were observed in 166 patients (21%) in the endocrine therapy alone group and in 135 patients (17%) in the endocrine therapy plus S-1 group (HR 0.80, 95%CI: 0.64–1.01). DRFS events occurred in 123 patients (15%) in the endocrine therapy alone group and in 91 patients (12%) in the endocrine therapy plus S-1 group (HR 0.74, 95%CI: 0.56–0.97). Conclusions: In this observational study, data from 337 patients (17%) were missing from the FAS of the POTENT trial. Both the endocrine therapy alone group and endocrine therapy plus S-1 groups showed favorable OS, and OS was similar between the treatment groups. The benefit of IDFS and DRFS by the addition of S-1 to endocrine therapy were maintained.

    Abstract: BACKGROUND: Although long-term prognostic outcomes of primary breast cancer (PBC) patients have been improved remarkably in recent years, the disease recurrence remains a serious problem. We have previously investigated a role for oral fluoropyrimidines in postoperative adjuvant treatments.In this study, we aimed to verify the usefulness of S-1 in combination with adjuvant endocrine therapy for PBC patients having luminal disease. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This open-label, randomized, phase 3 trial was carried out in 139 centers in Japan. StageI-IIIPBC patients, who had hormone receptor (HR)-positive and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negativestatus and intermediate or higher risk of recurrence were randomly assigned (1:1) to receive standard endocrine therapy alone (control arm) or endocrine therapy plus S-1 (S-1 arm). Recurrence risk assessment was performed using anatomical stage, pathological findings such as histologic grade, and centrally confirmed proliferative marker status. S-1 was administered postoperatively in combination with standard endocrine therapy. For patients who underwent multi-drug postoperative adjuvant or preoperative neoadjuvant chemotherapy, S-1 was administered following the multi-drug chemotherapy. Cases having no residual cancer in the breast and axillary node after the preoperative chemotherapy were excluded from this study. The S-1 dosage was chosen among 80 mg/day, 100 mg/day, and 120 mg/day according to the body surface area of each patient, and S-1 was administered for one year with a 2 weeks on/1 week off administration schedule. The primary endpoint was invasive disease-free survival (iDFS), defined as time from randomization to invasive disease recurrence, occurrence of second invasive cancer event, or death, and was analyzed on an intent-to-treat basis. Secondary endpoints included DFS, distant DFS, overall survival, and safety profile. RESULTS: From Feb 2012 to Feb 2016, 1959 patients were enrolled and 1932 patients were included in the full analysis set (control arm, 973; S-1 arm, 959). The results of the prespecified interim analysis met the primary end point, and this trial was terminated early. Median follow-up was 51.4 months. S-1 significantly reduced invasive events; 153 iDFS events were reported in the control arm and 99 iDFS events were reported in the S-1 arm [hazard ratio, 0.63 (95%CI, 0.49-0.81); p-value, 0.0003]. The 5-year iDFS estimate was 81.5% in the control arm and 86.9% in the S-1 arm. Distant recurrence as the first disease event was observed in 6.8% of patients in the S-1 arm and in 9.5% of those in the control arm. The safety data in patients treated with S-1 was consistent with the known profile of S-1. The S-1 treatment was well tolerated and manageable. CONCLUSIONS: It was concluded that the postoperative adjuvant use of an oralfluoropyrimidine S-1 significantly reduced iDFS events and improved 5-year iDFS estimate in PBC patients having HR-positive and HER2-negative disease, in the combination with standard endocrine therapy, with a feasible safety profile. Funding: This study was funded by the Comprehensive Support Project (CSP) of the Public Health Research Foundation. The research fund was provided to CSP by Taiho Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. This trial was conducted as a study of ‘Advanced Medical Care,’ the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, Japan.

    Abstract: Introduction: ETV6-ABL1 fusion represents a rare subgroup of pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) with unfavorable outcomes. ETV6-ABL1-positive ALL is recently identified in Philadelphia chromosome (Ph)-like ALL and exhibits a gene expression profile similar to BCR-ABL1-positive ALL. Analogous to BCR-ABL1 fusion, ETV6-ABL1 fusion results in the formation of constitutively active non-receptor tyrosine kinases that can also be targeted by selective ATP-competitive tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). Since TKIs are currently incorporated into the standard treatment of BCR-ABL1-positive ALL, they will be a promising option also for the treatment ETV6-ABL1-positive ALL. However, TKI resistance becomes a common problem in TKI-treated patients, where it is frequently caused by BCR-ABL1-dependent alterations including mutations, genomic amplification, and enhanced expression of BCR-ABL1-fusion kinase. In addition, BCR-ABL1-independent alterations have also been reported to cause TKI resistance. It includes a variety of activating and/or inactivating alterations in RAS, NF-kB, PI3K-AKT, and JAK-STAT signaling pathways that mediate the oncogenic activity of BCR-ABL1 fusion kinase. In contrast, the molecular mechanisms of TKI resistance have been poorly described in ETV6-ABL1-positive ALL, except for T315I mutation of ETV6-ABL1 fusion gene in a single patient and K89M mutation of GNB1 gene in a cell line model. Patient and Results: A previously healthy 14-year-old girl was admitted to our hospital because of persistent fever. Laboratory data showed white blood cell count of 417,800 /µL and increased LDH level and uric acid level. Bone marrow examination showed nuclear cell count of 855,000 /µL with 90.0% blastic cells of lymphoid morphology. Bone marrow blasts at initial diagnosis were positive for CD10, CD19, CD20, CD34, cyCD79a, cyTdT, HLA-DR, and CD66c; had a karyotype of 45, XX, -7; and were sensitive to TKIs (imatinib and dasatinib) in vitro. A split signal analyzed by ABL1 FISH probe was positive (92.7%), while major and minor BCR-ABL1 fusion transcripts were not detected by RT-qPCR. She was treated with the high-risk protocol based on BFM 95 protocol because of prednisolone poor response. After induction chemotherapy, she achieved complete remission (CR) without ABL1 split signal and IgH gene rearrangement. However, she relapsed 19 months after initial diagnosis, and failed to achieve second CR by alternating administration of dasatinib and antileukemic drugs. Bone marrow blasts at initial diagnosis and after relapse were subjected to whole-transcriptome sequencing. ETV6-ABL1 fusion transcripts were identified in both initial diagnostic and relapsed samples, and their level of expression was not significantly changed. No known alteration in ETV6-ABL1 fusion and GNB1 genes was detected. These results suggested a novel mechanism of TKI resistance in ETV6-ABL1-positive ALL. Conclusion: To our knowledge, this is a first case of ETV6-ABL1-positive ALL who acquired ETV6-ABL1-independent TKI resistance. It will provide a foundation for the treatment of TKI-resistant ETV6-ABL1-positive ALL.

    Abstract: In multiple myeloma (MM), there are two distinct genetic subtypes based on copy number alterations and translocations. About half of all MM cases are a hyperdiploid type, which is characterized by multiple trisomies of chromosomes 3, 5, 7, 9 11, 15, 19 and 21 and a lower prevalence of primary translocations involving the immunoglobulin heavy chain (IgH) locus at 14q32. The remaining cases are the non-hyperdiploid type, and chromosomes 8, 13, 14, and 16 are frequently lost. Non-hyperdiploid myeloma is strongly association with translocations of IgH alleles with various partner chromosomes, such as t(11;14)(q13;q32), t(4;14)(p16.3; q32), t(14;16)(q32;q23), t(6;14)(p21;q32) or t(14;20) (q32;q11). The copy number alterations in other chromosome regions such as 1q, 6q, 8p, and 16q occur in both subtypes. Overall, non-hyperdiploid MM is associated with worse survival than hyperdiploid MM. In this study, we sequenced all exons of 409 cancer-related genes in matched tumor and normal DNA from 5 non-hyperdiploid MM patients using a next-generation semiconductor sequencing protocol. DNA was extracted from magnetic bead-enriched bone marrow CD138 positive tumor cells from the patients and CD138 negative cells were used as matched normal cells. We detected both point mutations and copy number variations (CNVs). One individual with refractory MM (IgG λ type, ISS stage II) displayed 8 non-synonymous somatic mutations in addition to numbers of CNVs including CCND1 and RB1. We observed 2 point mutations and 3 CNVs, affecting NF-kB pathway genes: IKBKB, CYLD, IKBKE, CD79B and SYK. Although the basis of NF-kB pathway activation is only partially understood, our findings greatly expand the mechanisms by which NF-kB may be activated in this patient. We also detected several gene alterations, which may be associated with poor prognosis and poor response to chemotherapy in patients with refractory MM. Although its value should be further confirmed in larger samples, the targeted next generation sequencing is a valuable tool for high-throughput genetic testing in clinical research.

    Abstract: Pleuropulmonary blastoma (PPB) is an extremely rare and aggressive pediatric pulmonary malignancy. Recently, DICER1 mutations were reported to be heterozygous frameshift or nonsense mutations of germline origin, suggesting an important role of haploinsufficiency of DICER1. On the other hand, Dicer1 heterozygous deficient mice did not develop PPB, suggesting that DICER1 haploinsufficiency alone may not be sufficient for tumor development. Thus, to identify genetic alterations underlying the pathogenesis of PPB, we performed an integrated molecular study of PPB analyzed by whole-exome, RNA and micro RNA sequencing in conjunction with SNP array analyses. Whole-exome sequencing of 7 cases with sporadic PPB and targeted deep sequencing of DICER1 was performed in additional 5 cases. DICER1 mutations were found in 11/12 cases by whole-exome or deep sequencing, in which 6 cases carried compound heterozygous mutations. Two cases carried homozygous mutations, which were caused by UPD involving the 14q harboring the DICER1 locus. In total, biallelic DICER1 mutations were found in 8/11 cases with DICER1 mutations. Four cases were confirmed that compound heterozygotes of a germline nonsense/frameshift and a somatic missense mutation, two were homozygous for somatic, missense mutations. Conspicuously, all the 9 missense mutations were located within the RNase IIIb domain with a mutational hotspot at G1809, for which somatic origin was confirmed in 7 mutations. To assess the impact of the DICER1 hotspot mutation on RNAase IIIb activity, we performed miRNA sequencing in 3 cases with G1809R mutations. miRNA of fetal lung was used as a control. Comparing the ratio of miRNA or miRNA* read count to pre-miRNA read count, the tumor with G1809R mutant showed significantly low levels of the miRNA product, but the effects were less clear in the levels of the miRNA*, suggesting that G1809R mutants result in reduced RNase IIIb activity but retention of RNase IIIa activity. We also performed RNA sequencing in 5 cases, but apparent breakpoint cluster region was not detected. Since 17p LOH was found in 8/11 cases, we checked the TP53 mutation status in 12 cases by deep sequencing. We detected TP53 mutations in 5/12 cases, in which all 5 cases were accompanied by 17p LOH and leading to biallelic TP53 inactivation. In conclusion, biallelic DICER1 mutations were quite common in PPB, invariably accompanied by a somatic RNase IIIb domain mutation. A majority of cases had mutated DICER1 alleles in germline with or without an additional RNase IIIb domain mutation in the remaining allele. Given that the novel hotspot mutation, G1809R, revealed reduced RNase IIIb activity, alternative RNase IIIb activity could be involved in the tumorigenesis of PPB. Recurrent mutations were rare in PPB, except for frequent TP53 deletions/mutations. Our results provide a novel insight into the critical role of DICER1 mutations and importance of TP53 inactivation in the pathogenesis of PPB.

    Abstract: Pleuropulmonary blastoma (PPB) is a rare pediatric malignancy whose pathogens are poorly understood. Recent reports suggest that germline mutations in the microRNA-processing enzyme DICER1 may contribute to PPB development. To investigate the genetic basis of this cancer, we performed whole-exome sequencing or targeted deep sequencing of multiple cases of PPB. We found biallelic DICER1 mutations to be very common, more common than TP53 mutations also found in many tumors. Somatic ribonuclease III (RNase IIIb) domain mutations were identified in all evaluable cases, either in the presence or absence of nonsense/frameshift mutations. Most cases had mutated DICER1 alleles in the germline with or without an additional somatic mutation in the remaining allele, whereas other cases displayed somatic mutations exclusively where the RNase IIIb domain was invariably affected. Our results highlight the role of RNase IIIb domain mutations in DICER1 along with TP53 inactivation in PPB pathogenesis. Cancer Res; 74(10); 2742–9. ©2014 AACR.

    Abstract: Multiple myeloma (MM) is an incurable haematological malignancy characterized by the clonal proliferation of malignant plasma cells within the bone marrow. The current data on MM disease progression indicate that bone marrow microenvironment plays crucial role in pathogenesis of MM. Myeloma cells contacts with bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs), which secrete factors/cytokines, promoting tumor cell growth and survival. Paracrine secretion of cytokines, such as IL-6, insulin-like growth factor-1, inflammatory protein-1a in BMSCs promotes MM cell proliferation and protects against drug-induced cytotoxicity. MM lytic bone disease is caused by osteoclast activation and osteoblast inhibition. Disease-related bone complications result in significant morbidity due to pain, pathologic fractures and spinal cord compression. The bone microenvironment creates a supportive niche for MM progression. Osteoclasts and BMSCs, along with extracellular matrix and cytokines stimulate myeloma cell proliferation and confer chemoresistance. Therefore, the reciprocal interactions among tumor cells, osteoclasts, osteoblasts, and bone marrow stromal cells impact both the establishment and progression of MM. In current study, monocyte can directly promote osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells through cell contact interactions and production of osteogenic factors. This mechanism is mediated by the activation of STAT3 signaling pathway in the mesechymal stem cells that leads to the upregulation of osteoblasts-associated genes such as Runx2 and alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and the downregulation of osteoblast inhibitors such as DKK1 to drive the differentiation of mesechymal stem cells into osteoblasts. In this study, we examined the role of monocyte, a component of bone marrow microenvironment, in the MM progression. We investigated the proliferation of MM cell lines cultured alone or co-cultured with BMSCs and/or monocytes of MM patients. Consistently, we observed increased proliferation of MM cell lines in the presence of either BMSCs or monocytes compared to cell line-only control. Furthermore, the co-culture of BMSCs plus monocytes induced the greatest degree of proliferation of myeloma cells. In addition to increased proliferation, BMSCs and monocytes decreased the rate of apoptosis of myeloma cells. Our results therefore suggest that highlights the role of monocyte as an important component of the bone marrow microenvironment.
