    Zinc finger protein 384 (ZNF384) impact on childhood mixed phenotype acute leukemia and B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia

    B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCP-ALL) is a heterogeneous malignancy and consists of several genetic abnormalities. Some of these abnormalities are used in clinics for risk calculation and treatment decisions. Patients with ZNF384 rearrangements had a distinct expression profile regardless of their diagnosis, BCP-ALL or mixed phenotype acute leukemia (MPAL) and defined as a new subtype of ALL. In this study, we screened 42 MPAL and 91 BCP-ALL patients for the most common ZNF384 fusions

    Aberrant Hypermethylation of APC Tumor Supressor Gene in Acute Leukemia Patients

    Wingless Type (WNT) signaling pathway is an evolutionarily conserved pathway that is crucial for the cell fate determination, survival and expansion of lymphocyte progenitors. It has been demonstrated that deregulated WNT signaling is one of the participating mechanism underlying lymphoid leukemogenesis. Inactivating mutations and methylation in Adenomatous Polyposis Coli (APC) gene, a negative regulator of WNT pathway, can cause ligand independent WNT pathway simulation. In this study, promoter methylation and expression of the APC gene is evaluated in childhood lymphoid and myeloid acute leukemia patients (n=118) and representative cell lines by using methylation specific PCR (MS-PCR) and real time quantitative PCR (QRT-PCR). APC gene promoter found hypermethylated in the 56\% of childhood acute leukemia patients {[}49.2\% of B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL), 62.5\% of T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) and 64.1\% of Acute myeloid leukemia (AML)]. To evaluate the reflection of promoter methylation, APC mRNA levels were examined and found that all acute lymphoblastic leukemia subgroups have statistically lower APC expression levels compared to controls. Although there was no association with clinical parameters, promoter hypermethylation of APC gene seems to be a common epigenetic event in acute leukemia and leading to differential expression levels among different acute leukemia phenotypes.
