    • The clustering of different types of B-cell malignancies in families raises the possibility of shared aetiology. To examine this, we performed cross-trait linkage disequilibrium (LD)-score regression of multiple myeloma (MM) and chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) genome-wide association study (GWAS) data sets, totalling 11,734 cases and 29,468 controls. A significant genetic correlation between these two B-cell malignancies was shown (Rg = 0.4, P = 0.0046). Furthermore, four of the 45 known CLL risk loci were shown to associate with MM risk and five of the 23 known MM risk loci associate with CLL risk. By integrating eQTL, Hi-C and ChIP-seq data, we show that these pleiotropic risk loci are enriched for B-cell regulatory elements and implicate B-cell developmental genes. These data identify shared biological pathways influencing the development of CLL and, MM and further our understanding of the aetiological basis of these B-cell malignancies.

  • Aminopeptidases in Cancer, Biology and Prospects for Pharmacological Intervention

    • Aminopeptidases, which catalyze the cleavage of amino acids from the amino terminus of proteins, are widely distributed in the natural world and play a crucial role in cellular processes and functions, including metabolism, signaling, angiogenesis, and immunology. They are also involved in the homeostasis of amino acids and proteins that are required for cellular proliferation. Tumor cells are highly dependent on the exogenous supply of amino acids for their survival, and overexpression of aminopeptidase facilitates rapid tumor cell proliferation. In addition, clinical studies have demonstrated that patients with cancers with high aminopeptidase expression often have poorer outcomes. Emerging evidence supports the rationale of inhibiting aminopeptidase activity as a targeted approach for novel treatment options, as limiting the availability of amino acids can be selectively lethal to tumor cells. While there are agents that directly target aminopeptidases that demonstrate potential as cancer therapies, such as bestatin and tosedostat, more selective and more targeted therapeutic approaches are needed. This article specifically looks at the biological role of aminopeptidases in both normal and cancer processes, and their potential as a biological target for future therapeutic strategies.When examining previous publications, most do not cover aminopeptidases and their role in cancer processes. Aminopeptidases play a vital role in cell processes and functions; however, their overexpression may lead to a rapid proliferation of tumor cells. Emerging evidence supports the rationale of leveraging aminopeptidase activity as a targeted approach for new oncological treatments. This article specifically looks at the biological role of aminopeptidases in both normal and cancer processes, and their potential as a biological target for future therapeutic strategies.

  • Genome-wide association study identifies multiple susceptibility loci for multiple myeloma
  • 2016
  • Ingår i: Nature Communications. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 2041-1723. ; 7
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Multiple myeloma (MM) is a plasma cell malignancy with a significant heritable basis. Genome-wide association studies have transformed our understanding of MM predisposition, but individual studies have had limited power to discover risk loci. Here we perform a meta-analysis of these GWAS, add a new GWAS and perform replication analyses resulting in 9,866 cases and 239,188 controls. We confirm all nine known risk loci and discover eight new loci at 6p22.3 (rs34229995, P = 1.31 x 10(-8)), 6q21 (rs9372120, P = 9.09 x 10(-15)), 7q36.1 (rs7781265, P = 9.71 x 10(-9)), 8q24.21 (rs1948915, P = 4.20 x 10(-11)), 9p21.3 (rs2811710, P = 1.72 x 10(-13)), 10p12.1 (rs2790457, P = 1.77 x 10(-8)), 16q23.1 (rs7193541, P = 5.00 x 10(-12)) and 20q13.13 (rs6066835, P = 1.36 x 10(-13)), which localize in or near to JARID2, ATG5, SMARCD3, CCAT1, CDKN2A, WAC, RFWD3 and PREX1. These findings provide additional support for a polygenic model of MM and insight into the biological basis of tumour development.
