PG - 889-894 LID - 10.1097/JCMA.0000000000000211 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: Parosteal osteosarcoma (POS) is a unique low grade osteosarcoma. Two separate oncogenes, MDM2 and CDK4, are specifically amplified in POS. Its clinical behavior is usually indolent. In some occasions, it may progress to high grade and become fatal. Malignant transformation with high grade differentiation is the most reliable indicator to predict its aggressiveness and metastatic potential. This study is to discover the relationship between gene amplification and grading. METHODS: Retrospective analysis of MDM2/CDK4 expression/amplification using immunostaining, multiplex quantitative polymerase chain reaction (MQPCR) and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) were studied on 14 patients with recurrent POS. RESULTS: Forty tumor specimens in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded blocks from 14 patients of POS were included in this study. Twenty-seven tumors are low-grade, 13 are high-grade. All POS showed increased expression of both MDM2 and CDK4 proteins, but not those from conventional osteosarcoma. Except some tumors were non-informative (poor DNA quality), the rest of POS had a marked increase of MDM2 and CDK4 genes copies by MQPCR, and confirmed by MDM2 FISH. Moreover, the folds of amplification increase as tumors progress. And, the amplification folds in high-grade POS are consistently higher than those of conventional ones. CONCLUSION: FISH and MQPCR are both useful assays for estimating oncogene amplification status in bone tumors. Amplification levels of MDM2 and CDK4 are related to tumor grading and progression. Molecular determination of gene amplification status can be a reliable alternative for predicting clinical behavior of POS at small biopsies.
