    • BackgroundGenetic screening for pathogenic variants (PVs) in cancer predisposition genes can affect treatment strategies, risk prediction and preventive measures for patients and families. For decades, hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC) has been attributed to PVs in the genes BRCA1 and BRCA2, and more recently other rare alleles have been firmly established as associated with a high or moderate increased risk of developing breast and/or ovarian cancer. Here, we assess the genetic variation and tumor characteristics in a large cohort of women with suspected HBOC in a clinical oncogenetic setting.MethodsWomen with suspected HBOC referred from all oncogenetic clinics in Sweden over a six-year inclusion period were screened for PVs in 13 clinically relevant genes. The genetic outcome was compared with tumor characteristics and other clinical data collected from national cancer registries and hospital records.ResultsIn 4622 women with breast and/or ovarian cancer the overall diagnostic yield (the proportion of women carrying at least one PV) was 16.6%. BRCA1/2 PVs were found in 8.9% of women (BRCA1 5.95% and BRCA2 2.94%) and PVs in the other breast and ovarian cancer predisposition genes in 8.2%: ATM (1.58%), BARD1 (0.45%), BRIP1 (0.43%), CDH1 (0.11%), CHEK2 (3.46%), PALB2 (0.84%), PTEN (0.02%), RAD51C (0.54%), RAD51D (0.15%), STK11 (0) and TP53 (0.56%). Thus, inclusion of the 11 genes in addition to BRCA1/2 increased diagnostic yield by 7.7%. The yield was, as expected, significantly higher in certain subgroups such as younger patients, medullary breast cancer, higher Nottingham Histologic Grade, ER-negative breast cancer, triple-negative breast cancer and high grade serous ovarian cancer. Age and tumor subtype distributions differed substantially depending on genetic finding.ConclusionsThis study contributes to understanding the clinical and genetic landscape of breast and ovarian cancer susceptibility. Extending clinical genetic screening from BRCA1 and BRCA2 to 13 established cancer predisposition genes almost doubles the diagnostic yield, which has implications for genetic counseling and clinical guidelines. The very low yield in the syndrome genes CDH1, PTEN and STK11 questions the usefulness of including these genes on routine gene panels.

  • Telomerase antagonist imetelstat inhibits esophageal cancer cell growth and increases radiation-induced DNA breaks
  • 2012
  • Ingår i: Biochimica et Biophysica Acta. Molecular Cell Research. - : Elsevier BV. - 0167-4889 .- 1879-2596. ; 1823:12, s. 2130-2135

    • Telomerase is mainly active in human tumor cells, which provides an opportunity for a therapeutic window on telomerase targeting. We sought to evaluate the potential of the thio-phosphoramidate oligonucleotide inhibitor of telomerase, imetelstat, as a drug candidate for treatment of esophageal cancer. Our results showed that imetelstat inhibited telomerase activity in a dose-dependent manner in esophageal cancer cells. After only 1. week of imetelstat treatment, a reduction of colony formation ability of esophageal cancer cells was observed. Furthermore, long-term treatment with imetelstat decreased cell growth of esophageal cancer cells with different kinetics regarding telomere lengths. Short-term imetelstat treatment also increased γ-H2AX and 53BP1 foci staining in the esophageal cancer cell lines indicating a possible induction of DNA double strand breaks (DSBs). We also found that pre-treatment with imetelstat led to increased number and size of 53BP1 foci after ionizing radiation. The increase of 53BP1 foci number was especially pronounced during the first 1 h of repair whereas the increase of foci size was prominent later on. This study supports the potential of imetelstat as a therapeutic agent for the treatment of esophageal cancer.

  • Telomerase activity is not a key determinant of sensitivity to standard cytotoxic drugs in human esophageal carcinoma cell lines
  • 2006
  • Ingår i: Anti-Cancer Drugs. - 0959-4973 .- 1473-5741. ; 17:5, s. 503-509
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • The aim of the present study was to investigate if basal telomerase activity levels may predict sensitivity to cytotoxic drugs in a panel of human esophageal carcinoma cell lines. The TRAPeze telomerase detection assay was used to investigate telomerase activity in the cell lines. Cytotoxic drug sensitivity for 20 standard cytotoxic agents was assessed using the fluorometric microculture cytotoxicity assay (FMCA). Telomerase activity was detected in all cell lines with a broad range of activity levels. Drug sensitivity also varied considerably between the cell lines. Except for a P value towards a correlation between mitoxantrone and telomerase activity (P=0.054), no statistically significant correlation was found between telomerase activity levels and sensitivity to investigated drugs, including key drugs such as cisplatin (P=0.9), 5-fluorouracil (P=0.8) and doxorubicin (P=0.54). We therefore conclude that basal telomerase activity level is not a key determinant of sensitivity to standard cytotoxic drugs in esophageal carcinoma cell lines.

  • Telomere length as prognostic parameter in chronic lymphocytic leukemia
  • 2011
  • Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
    • B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) is the most common leukemia among the adult population in western countries and accounts for 30-40% of all leukemias. With survival time ranging from months to decades, the clinical course of individual CLL patients is highly variable. This heterogeneity and in the end the need for means to identify the patients with less favorable disease has encouraged the search for biomarkers that can predict the prognosis. Telomeres are repetitive structures protecting the chromosomal endings and shorten at each cell division. Telomere length (TL) has been indicated as a prognostic factor both in hematological malignancies and solid tumors. In B-CLL, TL is associated with mutation status of the immunoglobulin heavy chain variable (IGHV) gene and with clinical course. In the present thesis the main aim was to evaluate TL as a biomarker in B-CLL using a quantitative PCR-based method for TL determination. In paper I, TL was shown to be a prognostic factor for stage A and stage B/C patients, whereas IGHV mutation status predicted outcome only in stage A patients. Moreover, IGHV mutated CLL cases were subdivided by TL into two groups with different prognosis, a subdivision not seen for unmutated cases. Interestingly, the IGHV-mutated group with short telomeres had en overall survival close to that of the unmutated cases. Thus, a combination of IGHV mutation status and telomere length gave an improved subclassification of CLL identifying previously unrecognized patient groups with different outcomes. TL correlates with cellular origin of B-cell malignancies in relation to the germinal center (GC). In paper II different B-cell lymphoma/leukemia subtypes were analyzed. Shortest telomeres were found in IGHV unmutated CLLs, differing significantly from IGHV mutated cases. Contrary to this, mantle cell lymphomas (MCL) demonstrated similar TL regardless of IGHV mutation status. TL differed significantly between GC-like and non-GC-like diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCL) and follicular lymphomas (FL) had shorter telomeres than GC-like DLBCL. Hairy cell leukemias, which display Ig gene intraclonal heterogeneity, had longer telomeres than FLs and non-GC-DLBCL, but shorter than GC-DLBCL. In conclusion, TL seemed not to simply correlate with GC origin. Paper III presents a B-CLL cohort assessed for TL, genomic aberrations, IGHV mutation status, CD38 and ZAP-70 expression. An inverse correlation existed between TL and IGHV homology, CD38 and ZAP-70 expression. The presence of genomic aberrations was similar among patients regardless of TL. In contrast, 13q deletion, a favorable biomarker, was more frequent in patients with long telomeres, while 11q and 17p deletions (markers of less favorable outcome) were more frequent in the subgroup with short telomeres. In paper IV a large group of mainly indolent CLL cases from a population based cohort was studied again showing an association between TL and prognosis, especially in “good” prognosis cases as defined by other biomarkers. Multivariate analysis indicated a strong connection between IGHV mutation status, lipoprotein lipase (LPL) expression and TL. A comparison of TL in diagnostic and follow up samples demonstrated a significant correlation, and also in the follow samples TL constituted a significant biomarker for survival.

  • A retrospective two centre study of Birt-Hogg-Dube syndrome reveals a pathogenic founder mutation in FLCN in the Swedish population
  • 2022
  • Ingår i: PLOS ONE. - : Public Library of Science (PLoS). - 1932-6203. ; 17:2
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Birt-Hogg-Dube syndrome (BHDS) (MIM: 135150) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder with variable penetrance, caused by pathogenic variants in the FLCN gene. Only a few hundreds of families have so far been described in the literature. Patients with BHDS present with three distinct symptoms: fibrofolliculomas, pneumothorax due to lung cyst formation, and increased lifetime risk of kidney tumours. The aim of the current study was to estimate the incidence of BHDS in the Swedish population and further describe the clinical manifestations and their frequency. Splice variant c.779+1G>T was the most common pathogenic variant, found in 57% of the families, suggesting this may be a founder mutation in the Swedish population. This was further investigated using haplotype analysis in 50 families that shared a common haplotype. Moreover, according to gnomAD the carrier frequency of the c.779+1G>T variant has been estimated to be 1/3265 in the Swedish population, however our data suggest that the carrier frequency in the Swedish population may be significantly higher. These findings should raise awareness among physicians of different specialties to patients presenting with fibrofolliculomas, pneumothorax and/or kidney tumours. We also stress the importance of consensus recommendations regarding diagnosis and clinical management of this, not that uncommon, syndrome.

  • Activity and Regulation of Telomerase in Malignant Cells
  • 2006
  • Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
    • An important step in tumorgenesis is the acquisition of cellular immortality. Tumor cells accomplish this by activating the enzyme telomerase, and thereby avoiding replicative senescence. The aim of this thesis was to study the activity and regulation of telomerase in a panel of malignant cell types.We found that TGF-β1 (transforming growth factor-β1) mediated differential effects on telomerase activity in five ATC (anaplastic thyroid carcinoma) cell lines. Cells that harbored a p53 mutation responded by up-regulation of telomerase activity after TGF-β1 treatment, whereas cell lines displaying wt p53 responded by down-regulation of telomerase activity. Thus, these results indicate a possible connection between p53 genotype and telomerase response to TGF-β1 treatment. Furthermore, the decreased telomerase activity appeared to be due to transcriptional repression of the hTERT promoter and the increased activity possibly involved hTERT activation via phosphorylation. We have previously shown that IFNs (interferons) sensitize MM (multiple myeloma) cells to Fas-mediated apoptosis. In the present investigation both IFN-α and IFN-γ down regulated telomerase activity in the MM cell line U-266-1970. The mechanism underlying the reduction of telomerase activity by IFN was shown to be transcriptional repression of the hTERT gene. We suggest that one potential mechanism whereby IFN sensitize MM cells to Fas-mediated apoptosis is by repressing hTERT activity at the transcriptional level. In the next study we demonstrated that basal telomerase activity is not a key determinant of sensitivity to cytotoxic drugs in ESCC (esophageal squamous cell carcinoma) cell lines. Furthermore, we observed no correlation between c-Myc amplification, p53 mutations and high telomerase activity levels in these cell lines. Finally, neuroblastoma cell lines were shown to up-regulate telomerase activity in response to hypoxic exposure and the main regulatory mechanism was not mediated by increased hTERT mRNA expression. This finding might constitute an adaptive stress response of tumor cells exposed to hypoxia.

  • Differential effects of TGF-beta1 on telomerase activity in thyroid carcinoma cells
  • 2005
  • Ingår i: Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications - BBRC. - : Elsevier BV. - 0006-291X .- 1090-2104. ; 338:3, s. 1625-1633
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) on telomerase activity in a panel of human anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC) cell lines. Addition of TGF-beta1 decreased the telomerase activity in HTh 74 and KTC-1 cells, while in C 643 and HTh 7 an increased activity was observed. The decreased telomerase activity appeared to be due to transcriptional repression of the hTERT promoter. Addition of a PI-3 kinase inhibitor (LY294002) abrogated the stimulatory effect of TGF-beta1 on the telomerase activity, indicating the possible involvement of hTERT activation via phosphorylation. Furthermore, the MEK-inhibitor U0126 had similar effects suggesting dual regulatory mechanisms. Interestingly, the cell lines differed genetically in that ATC cell lines responding with increased telomerase activity harbored a p53 mutation. In conclusion, TGF-beta1 exerts opposing effects on telomerase activity in ATC cell lines, possibly reflecting deregulation of TGF-beta1 signaling in a more malignant genotype.
