Gene expression signatures define novel oncogenic pathways in T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia

Abstract: Human T cell leukemias can arise from oncogenes activated by specific chromosomal translocations involving the T cell receptor genes. Here we show that five different T cell oncogenes (HOX11, TAL1, LYL1, LMO1, and LMO2) are often aberrantly expressed in the absence of chromosomal abnormalities. Using oligonucleotide microarrays, we identified several gene expression signatures that were indicative of leukemic arrest at specific stages of normal thymocyte development: LYL1+ signature (pro-T), HOX11+ (early cort… Show more

“…10 The ALL studies reported signatures in terms of their correlation with cytogenetic and gene fusion events. 14,15 Given the variety of descriptors appearing in the literature, the need has clearly arisen for a concise naming convention that is based upon inherent, robust properties of expression signatures.…”

“…19,20 In support of this hypothesis, several reports have shown a striking correlation between LMO2, TAL1, and Olig2 based on gene expression analysis in human and murine T-cell leukemia. [21][22][23] In future studies, it will be interesting to explore whether LMO2 interacts with Olig2 to regulate GSCs and brain tumorigenesis. Presence of tumor-derived vascular components sheds light on the plasticity of cancer cells and the potential involvement of cancer stem cells in cancer-associated angiogenesis.…”

“…Although Tal1 induces leukemia in mice, it does so after a long latency revealing that additional genetic events are required (Condorelli et al, 1996;Kelliher et al, 1996). Analysis of the INK4A/ARF locus in human T-ALL patients has revealed frequent homozygous deletion of exon 2, the exon common to both p16 INK4A and p14 ARF genes (Hebert et al, 1994;Cayuela et al, 1995Cayuela et al, , 1996Drexler, 1998;Gardie et al, 1998;Ferrando et al, 2002). Other T-ALL patients also exhibit alterations in the INK4A/ ARF locus that affect either p16 INK4A or p14 ARF only.…”

“…Specifically, in some cases, T-ALL patients exhibit methylation of the p16 INK4A promoter, whereas others display specific loss of p14 ARF , as detected by loss of exon 1b (Batova et al, 1997;Drexler, 1998;Gardie et al, 1998). Of TAL1-expressing T-ALL patients, 92% (13/14) have been shown to delete the shared exon 2, suggesting that loss of both p16 INK4A and p14 ARF may be required to cooperate with ectopic TAL1 activation (Ferrando et al, 2002). Moreover, clinical studies have suggested that INK4A/ARF deletions are a poor prognostic indicator, highlighting the need for additional therapies to treat these T-ALL patients (Kees et al, 1997;Zhou et al, 1997;Harrison, 2001).…”
