PG - 6426-31 LID - 10.1158/1078-0432.CCR-08-0702 [doi] AB - PURPOSE: The well-known translocations identified in MALT lymphomas include t(11;18)/API2-MALT1, t(1;14)/IGH-BCL10, and t(14;18)/IGH-MALT1. Molecular investigations have suggested that these three disparate translocations affect a common pathway, resulting in the constitutive activation of nuclear factor-kappaB. However, the vast majority of MALT lymphomas are negative for any of the above-mentioned translocations and the underlying pathogenesis is unclear. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: Fresh tissue of 29 gastric and extragastric MALT lymphomas was studied for genetic aberrations by conventional karyotyping, long-distance inverse PCR (LDI-PCR), fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR), and real-time quantitative RT-PCR (QRT-PCR). RESULTS: Conventional cytogenetics, FISH, and RT-PCR identified aberrations in 26 of 29 MALT lymphoma. Balanced translocations were found in 21 cases. IGH was rearranged in the majority of cases with balanced translocations (n = 17/21); 3 cases had t(11;18)/API2-MALT1 and 1 case had novel t(6;7)(q25;q11), respectively. IGH partner genes involved MALT1, FOXP1, BCL6, and four new chromosomal regions on chromosome arms 1p, 1q, 5q, and 9p. LDI-PCR identified three novel partner genes on 1p (CNN3), 5q (ODZ2), and 9p (JMJD2C). FISH assays were established and confirmed LDI-PCR results. QRT-PCR showed deregulation of the novel genes in the translocation-positive cases. CONCLUSIONS: Our study expands the knowledge on the genetic heterogeneity of MALT lymphomas.
