摘要: We determined the sequence of ATRX and DAXX in 447 cancers from various sites. We found mutations most commonly in pediatric glioblastoma multiformae (GBM) (11.1%), adult GBM (6.5%), oligodendrogliomas (7.7%) and medulloblastomas (1.5%); and showed that Alternative Lengthening of Telomeres (ALT), a telomerase-independent telomere maintenance mechanism found in cancers that have not activated telomerase, perfectly correlated with somatic mutations of either gene. In contrast, neuroblastomas, and adenocarcinomas of the ovary, breast, and pancreas were negative for mutations in ATRX and DAXX. Alterations in ATRX or DAXX define a specific molecular pathway that is closely associated with an alternative telomere maintenance function in human cancers.

摘要: Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors (PanNETs) are a rare but clinically important form of pancreatic neoplasia. To explore the genetic basis of PanNETs, we determined the exomic sequences of ten non-familial PanNETs and then screened the most commonly mutated genes in 58 additional PanNETs. Remarkably, the most frequently mutated genes specify proteins implicated in chromatin remodeling: 44% of the tumors had somatic inactivating mutations in MEN-1, which encodes menin, a component of a histone methyltransferase complex; and 43% had mutations in genes encoding either of the two subunits of a transcription/chromatin remodeling complex consisting of DAXX (death-domain associated protein) and ATRX (alpha thalassemia/mental retardation syndrome X-linked). Clinically, mutations in the MEN1 and DAXX/ATRX genes were associated with better prognosis. We also found mutations in genes in the mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin) pathway in 14% of the tumors, a finding that could potentially be used to stratify patients for treatment with mTOR inhibitors.

摘要翻译: 胰腺神经内分泌肿瘤(Pannets)是一种罕见但临床上重要的胰腺肿瘤形式。 为了探索PanNETs的遗传基础,我们确定了十个非家族PanNETs的外显子序列,然后筛选了58个额外的PanNET中最常见的突变基因。 值得注意的是,最常突变的基因指定涉及染色质重塑的蛋白质:44%的肿瘤在MEN-1中具有体细胞失活突变,其编码menin,组蛋白甲基转移酶复合物的组分; 43%在编码由DAXX(死亡相关蛋白)和ATRX(α地中海贫血/智力迟钝综合征X连锁)组成的转录/染色质重塑复合物的两个亚基之一的基因中具有突变。 在临床上,MEN1和DAXX / ATRX基因的突变与更好的预后相关。 我们还发现在14%的肿瘤中mTOR(雷帕霉素的哺乳动物靶标)途径的基因突变,这种发现可能用于分层患者用mTOR抑制剂治疗。
