ICD-Topo | C420,C421,C424 BLOOD, BONE MARROW, & HEMATOPOIETIC SYS |
ICD-Morpho | 9811/3 B lymphoblastic leukaemia/lymphoma, NOS |
Atlas_Id | 2143 |
Clinics and Pathology |
Disease | B cell progenitor acute lymphoid leukemia (B-ALL) |
Epidemiology | Only one case to date, a 22-year-old male patient (Hidalgo-Curtis et al., 2008). |
Prognosis | Complete remission was obtained, a relapse occured. The patient was in complete remission 6 years after diagnosis. |
Cytogenetics |
Cytogenetics Morphological | The translocation was found solely in the main clone, and a subclone also showed a +21. |
Genes involved and Proteins |
Gene Name | SFPQ (PTB-associated splicing factor) |
Location | 1p34.3 |
Protein | DNA- and RNA binding protein; pre-mRNA splicing factor; binds specifically to intronic polypyrimidine tracts. Role in transcription and RNA splicing: SFPQ, often called PSF, is a coactivator of Fox proteins, which bind the RNA element UGCAUG and regulate alternative pre-mRNA splicing. SFPQ and NONO are part of a large complex with all the snRNPs. SFPQ is phosphorylated by GSK3, which prevents SFPQ from binding PTPRC (CD45 antigen) pre-mRNA. The association of HNRNPL and SFPQ drives the change in PTPRC (CD45) splicing (CD45 undergoes alternative splicing in response to T-cell activation). DNA damage: DNA double-strand breaks are repaired via nonhomologous DNA end joining and homologous recombination. The SFPQ/NONO heterodimer enhances DNA strand break rejoining. SFPQ has homologous recombination and non-homologous end joining activities. SFPQ is associated with the RAD51 protein complex. Role in transcriptional regulation: SFPQ and PTK6 (protein tyrosine kinase 6, also called BRK) play a role downstream of the EGF receptor (EGFR). SFPQ and NONO form complexes with the androgen receptor (AR) and modulate its transcriptional activity (Huret, 2011). |
Gene Name | ABL1 (v-abl Abelson murine leukemia viral oncogene homolog 1) |
Location | 9q34.12 |
Protein | ABL1, when localized in the nucleus, induces apoptosis after DNA damage. Cytoplasmic ABL1 has a possible function in adhesion signalling (Turhan, 2008). |
Result of the chromosomal anomaly |
Description | Break in the 3' of SFPQ exon 10 and reunion with ABL1 intron 3; a further mRNA splicing gives rise to a chimeric SFPQ exons 1 to 9 (nucleotide 2072) fused to ABL1 exon 4 to end. |
Description | 1609 amino acids fusion protein of 174 kDa; retains most of SFPQ, including the RNA recognition motifs and the coiled-coil domain (dimerization domain), fused to the SH2 domain of ABL1; the fusion protein also includes the SH1 domain (tyrosine kinase activity), the nuclear localization domain, and the actin binding domain of ABL1. |
Oncogenesis | Constitutive tyrosine kinase activation is likely, through dimerization of the fusion protein. |
