Description
Highly homologous B-cell receptors, stereotyped BCR, are expressed in a recurrent fraction of patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). In this study, we investigated the biological and molecular features of leukemic cells from 16 patients utilizing stereotyped subset #4 BCR (IGHV4-34) in a prospective cohort of 462 Binet stage A CLL patients. All subset #4 patients were characterized by the IGHV mutated gene configuration and by the absence of unfavorable cytogenetic lesions, and NOTCH1 and SF3B1 mutations. Gene expression profiling demonstrated a significant downregulation of WDFY4, MF2A and upregulation of PDGFA, FGFR1 and TFEC genes in leukemic cells from subset #4 compared to those from the remaining IGHV-mutated patients. Similarly, in the cells from subset #4 cases there was a specific miRNA expression pattern involving the upregulation of miR-497 and miR-29c. Furthermore transfection of miR-497 mimic in primary leukemic CLL cells induced a downregulation of BCL2, known to be a validated target of this miRNA. Our data identify a distinct gene and miRNA expression profile of the cells from subset #4 patients, providing further evidence for the putative role of BCR in shaping the features of the leukemic cells.
