RESUMO

Concurrent deletion at 1p/19q is a common signature of oligodendrogliomas, and it may be identified in low-grade tumours (grade II) suggesting it represents an early event in the development of these brain neoplasms. Additional non-random changes primarily involve CDKN2A, PTEN and EGFR. Identification of all of these genetic changes has become an additional parameter in the evaluation of the clinical patients' prognosis, including good response to conventional chemotherapy. Multiple ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) analysis is a new methodology that allows an easy identification of the oligodendrogliomas' abnormalities in a single step. No need of the respective constitutional DNA from each patient is another advantage of this method. We used MLPA kits P088 and P105 to determine the molecular characteristics of a series of 40 oligodendrogliomas. Deletions at l p and 19q were identified in 45% and 65% of cases, respectively. Alterations of EGFR, CDKN2A, ERBB2, PTEN and TP53 were also identified in variable frequencies among 7% to 35% of tumours. These findings demonstrate that MLPA is a reliable technique to the detection of molecular genetic changes in oligodendrogliomas.

RESUMO

La alteración genética más frecuente en oligodendrogliomases la pérdida conjunta de lp/19q. Este eventoya acontece en etapas primarias del desarrollo deestos tumores. Es de gran valor clínico conocersi dichos tumores poseen esta deleción ya que seha correlacionado con un mejor pronóstico de lospacientes. Además de esta alteración. también se haobservado la deleción de CDKN2A y PTEN y la amplificaciónde EGFR; estos cambios parecen asociarse auna mayor agresividad tumoral. Mediante la técnicade MLPA en una misma reacción podemos determinarsi existe pérdida de lp/19q y deleciones/amplificacionesde los genes anteriormente mencionados en el ADNprocedente de muestras tumorales. En este trabajohemos analizado 40 oligodendrogliomas y el kit MLPAP088 para determinar el estado alélico de lp/19q, asícomo el kit MLPA P105 para observar la amplificación/deleción de los genes CDKN2A, PTEN, ERBB2, TP53 yEGFR. Mostraron pérdida de 1p el 45% de los tumores(18/40) y el 65% (26/40) de los oligodendrogliomaspresentaron deleción de las sondas que hibridan en lasregiones de 19q. Para el kit MLPA P105, mostraronduplicación/deleción de EGFR en el 7,5% (3/41) y 35%(14/40) de las muestras, respectivamente. El 60% de loscasos (24/40) mostraron deleción de CDKN2 y ningunamuestra presentó duplicación de las sondas para estegen. El gen ERBB2 se presentó duplicado en el 12,5%de los tumores (5/40) y un único tumor mostró pérdidasde dicho gen. El 30% (12/40) de las muestras presentódeleción para PTEN y el 12,5% (5/40) mostró duplicaciónde dicho gen y, por último, 12,5% de los casos(5/40) presentaron duplicaciones de TP53. Estos resultadosindican que la técnica de MLPA es idónea para laidentificación de las alteraciones moleculares característicasde oligodendrogliomas. Estas alteraciones estaríancontribuyendo a la formación del tumor, siendola anomalía más significativa en oligodendrogliomas la (...) (AU)

RESUMO

PURPOSE: Gene expression array analysis is providing key data on the potential candidate genes and biological pathways involved in schwannoma origin and development. In this way we performed expression array studies on tumor-related genes in schwannomas. METHODS: The GE Array Q Series HS-006 (SuperArray, Bethesda, MD, USA) was used to determine the expression levels of 96 genes corresponding to 6 primary biological regulatory pathways in a series of 23 schwannomas. RESULTS: We identified 15 genes down-regulated, primarily corresponding to signal transduction functions, and 26 genes up-regulated, most frequently involving cell adhesion functions. CONCLUSIONS: In addition to the NF2 inactivation (considered as an early step), variations of other biological regulatory pathways might play a key role in schwannoma (AU)
