  • Deregulation of the platelet-derived growth factor B-chain gene via fusion with collagen gene COL1A1 in dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans and giant-cell fibroblastoma.
  • 1997
  • Ingår i: Nature Genetics. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 1061-4036 .- 1546-1718. ; 15:1, s. 95-8

    • Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DP), an infiltrative skin tumour of intermediate malignancy, presents specific features such as reciprocal translocations t(17;22)(q22;q13) and supernumerary ring chromosomes derived from the t(17;22). In this report, the breakpoints from translocations and rings in DP and its juvenile form, giant cell fibroblastoma (GCF), were characterised on the genomic and RNA level. These rearrangements fuse the platelet-derived growth factor B-chain (PDGFB, c-sis proto-oncogene) and the collagen type I alpha 1 (COL1A1) genes. PDGFB has transforming activity and is a potent mitogen for a number of cell types, but its role in oncogenic processes is not fully understood. COL1A1 is a major constituent of the connective tissue matrix. Neither PDGFB nor COL1A1 have so far been implicated in any tumour translocations. These gene fusions delete exon 1 of PDGFB, and release this growth factor from its normal regulation.

  • Clonal chromosome aberrations are present in vivo in synovia and osteophytes from patients with osteoarthritis
  • 1997
  • Ingår i: Human Genetics. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 0340-6717 .- 1432-1203. ; 101:3, s. 8-295
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • We have previously reported recurrent clonal chromosomal aberrations in synovia, osteophytes and articular cartilage from patients with osteoarthritis (OA). In particular, gain of chromosomes 5 and 7 was found to be strongly associated with OA. In order to exclude the possibility of in vitro artefacts, we studied three to four parallel, independent cultures from ten samples of synovia and three samples of osteophytes from ten women with primary OA. In all, 40 cultures were cytogenetically analysed, 39 of which had clonal chromosomal aberrations. The most common aberrations were +7 and +5 which were found in 38 and 12 cultures, respectively. There were striking karyotype similarities among the parallel cultures from each case. Out of a total of 83 clones, only 11 were unique for one culture, 7 from synovia and 4 from osteophytes. The genetic homogeneity among different cultures from the same patients excludes the possibility of in vitro artefacts and indicates a widespread distribution of the cytogenetically aberrant clones in vivo.

  • Rearrangement of the neoplasia-associated gene HMGIC in synovia from patients with osteoarthritis
  • 1999
  • Ingår i: Genes, Chromosomes and Cancer. - 1045-2257. ; 24:3, s. 82-278
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • The occurrence of clonal chromosome aberrations in short-term cultures from synovia, osteophytes, and cartilage from patients with osteoarthritis (OA) was recently reported. Among these aberrations, a recurrent involvement of chromosome bands 12q13-15 in structural rearrangements was detected in both synovia and osteophytes. Chromosomal abnormalities of 12q13-15 are frequent among malignant and benign mesenchymal tumors, and it was recently demonstrated that the molecular target in these neoplasms is the HMGIC gene. In this study, we show by fluorescence in situ hybridization that HMGIC was disrupted by rearrangements of 12q15 in synovia from two patients with OA. The finding of HMGIC rearrangement in a lesion that is not traditionally regarded as neoplastic not only widens the spectrum of disorders that may be associated with altered function of this gene, but also provides further support for the notion that genetically rearranged cell populations are part of the OA process.

  • 110 subfascial lipomatous tumors. MR and CT findings versus histopathological diagnosis and cytogenetic analysis
  • 1999
  • Ingår i: Acta radiologica (Stockholm, Sweden : 1987). - : SAGE Publications. - 0284-1851 .- 1600-0455. ; 40:6, s. 603-609

    • Purpose: To evaluate whether liposarcoma, atypical lipomatous tumors and lipoma can be differentiated radiologically. Material and Methods: We have retrospectively analyzed CT and/or MR images of 110 subfascial lipomatous lesions. the amount of fat within the tumors was visually graded from the images as: none, 1–75%, 75–95% or 95–100%. the structure of non-fatty tumor components was compared. the images were compared to histopathology and in 37 cases to cytogenetic findings. Results: Only 4 of 20 liposarcomas contained fat. All 4 lesions, histopathologically diagnosed as atypical lipomatous tumors, contained fat but less than 75% of tumor volume. All lesions with more fat than 75% of tumor volume were histologically diagnosed as lipomas. However, one-third of the karyotyped lipomas had ring chromosomes which are considered typical for atypical lipomatous tumors. Conclusion: When a tumor is composed more or less solely of fat, the diagnosis of a lipoma or atypical lipomatous tumor with a phenotype simulating a lipoma can be assumed. When the fat content is less than 75% of the tumor volume or non-fatty nodules are found, biopsies from different tumor components have to be performed to exclude malignancy. When no fat is found, imaging does not help in differentiating lipoma or liposarcoma from other soft tissue tumors.

  • A case of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans with a ring chromosome 5 and a rearranged chromosome 22 containing amplified COL1A1 and PDGFB sequences
  • 1998
  • Ingår i: Cancer Letters. - 0304-3835 .- 1872-7980. ; 133:2, s. 34-129
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a cutaneous tumour of borderline malignancy, the cytogenetic features of which include the translocation t(17;22)(q22;q13) or, more commonly, supernumerary ring chromosomes containing material from 17q22 and 22q13. These rearrangements result in the COL1A1/PDGFB fusion gene. Here, we describe a case of DFSP displaying a ring chromosome 5 together with a large marker chromosome composed of chromosome 22 alphoid DNA, material from distal 12q and amplified COL1A1 and PDGFB sequences. This is the first case of DFSP with multiple copies of COL1A1 and PDGFB not confined to ring chromosomes, showing that DFSP is similar to other borderline malignant mesenchymal tumours, where rings and giant markers are alternative vehicles for amplified material.

  • Amplification of 12q13 and 12q15 sequences in a sclerosing epithelioid fibrosarcoma
  • 1998
  • Ingår i: Cancer Genetics and Cytogenetics. - 0165-4608. ; 107:2, s. 102-106
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Sclerosing epithelioid fibrosarcoma (SEF) is a recently described entity. It is a low-grade sarcoma that occurs primarily in the deep soft tissues of the extremities of adults. It may histologically simulate benign lesions such as fibroma and myxoma or malignancies such as sclerosing carcinoma and lymphoma, extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma, clear cell sarcoma of tendons and aponeuroses, and synovial sarcoma, depending on the lesion's cellularity, degree of fibrosis, and amount of myxoid matrix. There are no previously published cytogenetic studies of this tumor. We found the karyotype 40-45,XY,add(9)(p13),add(10)(p11),-12,-13,-18,add(18)(q11),add(20)(q11) in a SEF of a 14-year-old boy, by using chromosome banding. Fluorescence in situ hybridization showed that both the add(10) and the add(18) contained amplified sequences from 12q13 and 12q15, including the HMGIC gene. Chromosome 18 material was present in the add(9) and terminally in the add(10). The karyotype of this case indicates that SEF is unrelated to extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma, clear cell sarcoma, and synovial sarcoma. When compared with the findings in other soft tissue tumors such as well-differentiated liposarcoma and low-grade malignant fibrous histiocytoma, the chromosome banding and in situ hybridization data add support to the notion that SEF is a relatively low grade variant of fibrosarcoma.

  • Chromosomal organization of amplified chromosome 12 sequences in mesenchymal tumors detected by fluorescence in situ hybridization
  • 1998
  • Ingår i: Genes, Chromosomes and Cancer. - 1045-2257. ; 23:3, s. 203-212
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • The chromosomal organization of amplified chromosome 12 sequences was studied with fluorescence in situ hybridization in six mesenchymal tumors: two osteosarcomas, one lipoma, two liposarcomas, and one fibrosarcoma. All except the fibrosarcoma contained ring and/or giant marker chromosomes. Amplification of chromosome 12 sequences, demonstrated with whole-chromosome paint in all cases, was confined to ring and giant marker chromosomes in four tumors. In one of the osteosarcomas and in the fibrosarcoma, amplified sequences were added to chromosome 12 and to chromosomes 10, 12, 18, and the Y chromosome, respectively. Hybridizations with single-copy probes demonstrated considerable inter- and intracellular variation in the arrangement of chromosome 12 sequences in ring and marker chromosomes. Amplification of 12q13-15 sequences, predominantly from the HMGIC-MDM2 region, was detected in all cases, but the two osteosarcomas also contained amplification of 12p material. This finding, combined with results from previous studies, indicates that 12p amplification is a feature distinguishing osteosarcomas from adipose tissue tumors. A novel finding was the presence of positive signals for chromosome 12 alpha-satellite sequences in ring and marker chromosomes in four cases. Rod chromosomes carrying amplified material, in particular those that were relatively stable, frequently exhibited chromosome 12 negative terminal segments; two of these, present in two separate cases, were shown by C-banding to contain constitutive heterochromatin. The significant intercellular heterogeneity in the number and structure of rings and giant markers in a subset of mesenchymal tumors could be explained by continuous recombination through breakage-fusion-bridge cycles. If so, this process will continue until broken ends become stabilized, for example by acquisition of telomeric segments from other chromosomes.

  • Amplification and overexpression of the hepatocyte growth factor receptor (HGFR/MET) in rat DMBA sarcomas
  • 1999
  • Ingår i: Oncogene. - : Nature Publishing Group. - 0950-9232 .- 1476-5594. ; 18:21, s. 3226-3234
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • In the present study subcutaneous fibrosarcomas were induced by the carcinogen 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA) in rats from F1 generation cross breedings of two different inbred strains. Comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) analysis, which allows detection of DNA sequence copy changes, was applied to one of the tumors and it was found that there were increased copy numbers of sequences at chromosome 4q12-q21 in this tumor. We have previously determined that the loci for the hepatocyte growth factor (Hgf) and hepatocyte growth factor receptor (Hgfr/Met), a protooncogene, are situated in this particular chromosome region. Using probes for the two genes in FISH (fluorescence in situ hybridization) and in Southern blots we found that the Hgfr/Met gene was amplified in five of the 19 sarcomas studied, and that the Hgf gene was coamplified in two of them. Northern and Western blots and tyrosine phosphorylation analysis showed that the HGF receptor was overexpressed and functional in all five tumors, as well as in two additional tumors. In summary, both amplification and overexpression of the Hgfr/Met gene was found in about 25% of DMBA-induced experimental rat sarcomas, and HGF receptor overexpression alone was seen in two additional tumors. Possibly this reflects an involvement in paracrine or autocrine stimulation of growth and invasiveness by HGF. Our finding could provide a rodent model system to increased knowledge about causality and therapy, which may be applicable to the sizeable fraction of human musculoskeletal tumors displaying MET overexpression.
