Abstract Background Plasma cell leukemia (PCL) is a rare malignant plasma cell disorder that usually carries an aggressive course with a rapidly fatal outcome. Cytogenetic studies performed on plasma cell disorder are scarce and difficult because of the low proliferation rate of plasma cells. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis is an attractive alternative for evaluation of numerical and structural chromosomal changes in PCL. Methods Interphase FISH (I-FISH) and two different specific probes for the regions containing 13q14.3 (D13S319) or 14q32 (IGHC/IGHV) were used to detect 13q14 deletion [del(13q14)] or IgH rearrangement in 22 PCL patients. For patients with IgH rearrangement, probes for IgH(JH) and 11q13 (CCND1) or 4p16 (FGFR3) were used to detect t(11;14)(q13;q32) or t(4;14)(p16;q32). Results Molecular cytogenetic aberrations were found in 19 of 22 (86.4%) PCL patients. Del(13q14) was detected in 13 cases (59.1%), and IgH rearrangement in 17 (77.3%) patients including 7 with t(11;14) and 3 with t(4;14). 14q32 rearrangement and 13q14 deletion were found concurrently in 11 cases (50%). Conclusions Chromosomal abnormalities are frequent in PCL. The most frequent aberrations among the cases was the 14q32 rearrangement and 13q14 deletion. I-FISH technique is useful to detect molecular cytogenetic aberrations and should be used in the routine evaluation of PCL.

Procedures for chromosome analysis and sorting using flow cytometry (flow cytogenetics) were developed for rye (Secale cereale L.). Suspensions of intact chromosomes were prepared by mechanical homogenization of synchronized root tips after mild fixation with formaldehyde. Histograms of relative fluorescence intensity obtained after the analysis of DAPI-stained chromosomes (flow karyotypes) were characterized and the chromosome content of the DNA peaks was determined. Chromosome 1R could be discriminated on a flow karyotype of S. cereale 'Imperial'. The remaining rye chromosomes (2R–7R) could be discriminated and sorted from individual wheat–rye addition lines. The analysis of lines with reconstructed karyotypes demonstrated a possibility of sorting translocation chromosomes. Supernumerary B chromosomes could be sorted from an experimental rye population and from S. cereale 'Adams'. Flow-sorted chromosomes were identified by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with probes for various DNA repeats. Large numbers of chromosomes of a single type sorted onto microscopic slides facilitated detection of rarely occurring chromosome variants by FISH with specific probes. PCR with chromosome-specific primers confirmed the identity of sorted fractions and indicated suitability of sorted chromosomes for physical mapping. The possibility to sort large numbers of chromosomes opens a way for the construction of large-insert chromosome-specific DNA libraries in rye.Key words: chromosome isolation, chromosome sorting, fluorescence in situ hybridization, repetitive DNA sequences, wheat-rye addition lines, B chromosomes, physical mapping.

Flow Cytometry Analysis

Background:The progression of Philadelphia chromosome positive chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is frequently accompanied by cytogenetic evolution, commonly unbalanced chromosomal changes. but balanced chromosomal translocations are very rare in CML, especially translocations involving the 11q23. The few reported cases with blast phase (BP) of CML carrying a 11q23 rearrangement results in insufficient responses to tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) and possess a poor prognosis. Methods:Cytogenetic analysis , fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), RNA sequencing (RNA-seq), targeted genomic sequencing and multi-parametric flow cytometry analysis were performed to identify the chromosome translocations and pathogenic gene alterations in a 36-year-old female with myeloid BP of CML. Results: In BP, the bone marrow (BM) aspiration showed 61% myeloid blasts; Multi-parametric flow cytometry analysis revealed the abnormal myeloid blasts expression of the following antigens: CD117, CD13, CD33, CD38, partially expressed CD15, CD64. Chromosome analysis revealed a t(11;22)(q23;q11) translocation in addition to the t(9;22)(q34;q11). Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) test confirmed that the t(11;22)(q23;q11) involved the mixed lineage leukemia(MLL) gene on 11q23 and RNA sequence revealed MLL-SEPT5 and BCR/ABL1(p210) fusion transcripts positive. Mutations on 339 commonly mutated genes in hematologic malignancies were analyzed by targeted next-generation sequencing showed ASXL1 p.G949Vfs*2 mutation. The patient failed to respond to both imatinib and dasatinib despite the absence of resistance-associated mutations in the BCR/ABL1 gene and she had a myeloid blast crisis at 19 months after initiation of first- and second-generation TKI treatment. After BP, she received ponatinb, a third-generation TKI with chemotherapy. Regretly she didn't achieve a complete remission(CR) and was in the process of salvage transplantation at present. Conclusions:The presence of 11q23 rearrangements in BC of CML is rare and most likely accounts for the adverse clinical outcome. We first report a patient who diagnosed CML with t(11;22)(q23;q11) and MLL-SEPT5 fusion gene positive in BP of CML. The clinical course was aggressive, and therapy was poorly tolerated.
