Abstract:
:We analyzed mRNA expression of the flt3 gene in 30 patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and 50 with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Using reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), expression of flt3 was observed in 61 patients; 22 (73%) with AML and 39 (78%) with ALL. Among these, five patients with AML (one M2, two M4, and two M5) showed unexpected longer transcripts with a primer combination which could amplify the transmembrane (TM) domain through the juxtamembrane (JM) domain. For those patients who expressed flt3 mRNA, the extracellular domain of the flt3 gene was also examined by RT-PCR, but no length abnormality was seen in this region. We further analyzed the TM domain through the second tyrosine kinase domain by genomic amplifications. The five patients who showed aberrant flt3 transcripts exhibited abnormal longer PCR products in addition to the germline products at a region corresponding to the JM through the first TK (TK1) domains. Sequence analyses of the abnormal RT-PCR products demonstrated that partial sequences were tandemly duplicated. Because all these altered transcripts were in-frame, deduced protein products could be expected. Sequence analyses of the genomic DNA revealed that three of the five patients showed a simple internal duplication within exon 11; one had an internal duplication (26 bp) with a 4-bp insertion; and in the fifth patient, a 136-bp sequence from the 3' part of exon 11 to intron 11 and the first 16-bp sequence of exon 12 were each duplicated with 1-bp insertion. In order to confirm the tumor specificity of these alterations, DNA samples obtained at complete remission were also analyzed in the three patients harboring an flt3 duplication, but no abnormal PCR product other than germline was detected in any of the samples. Our results suggest that an internal tandem duplication at the JM/TK1 domains of the flt3 gene is a somatic change detected preferentially in AML, possibly containing a monocytic component.
