Recurrent mutations in tumor-suppressor genes (TP53, BIRC3, ATM), and common signaling pathways, such as the B-cell receptor (CD79A, CD79B, CARD11, TCF3, ID3), Toll- like receptor (MYD88), NOTCH (NOTCH1/2), nuclear factor-κB, and mitogen activated kinase signaling, have been identified in B-cell neoplasms. Chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, follicular lymphoma, mantle cell lymphoma, Burkitt lymphoma, Waldenström macroglobulinemia, hairy cell leukemia, and marginal zone lymphomas of splenic, nodal, and extranodal types represent examples of B-cell neoplasms in which novel molecular biomarkers have been discovered in recent years. In addition, ongoing retrospective correlative and prospective outcome studies have resulted in an enhanced understanding of the clinical utility of novel biomarkers. This progress is reflected in the 2016 update of the World Health Organization classification of lymphoid neoplasms, which lists as many as 41 mature B-cell neoplasms (including provisional categories). Consequently, molecular genetic studies are increasingly being applied for the clinical workup of many of these neoplasms. In this review, we focus on the diagnostic, prognostic, and/or therapeutic utility of molecular biomarkers in mature B-cell neoplasms.

ABSTRACT K-Ras is the most frequently mutated protein in human tumors. Activating K-Ras mutations drive cancer initiation, progression and drug resistance, directly leading to nearly a million deaths per year. To understand the mechanisms by which mutations alter K-Ras function, we need to understand their effects on protein dynamics. However, despite decades of research, how oncogenic mutations in K-Ras alter its conformation and dynamics remain to be understood. Here, we present how the most recurrent K-Ras oncogenic mutation, G12D, leads to structural, conformational and dynamical changes that lead to constitutively active K- Ras. We have developed a new integrated MD simulation data analysis approach to quantify such changes in a protein and applied it to K-Ras. Our results show that G12D mutation induces strong negative correlations between the fluctuations of SII and those of the P-loop, Switch I (SI) and α3 regions in K-RasG12D.

ABSTRACT Ras is frequently mutated in cancer; however, there is a lack of consensus in the literature regarding the cancer mutation frequency of Ras, with quoted values varying from 10-30%. This variability is at least in part due to the selective aggregation of data from different databases and the dominant influence of particular cancer types and particular Ras isoforms within these datasets.

  • Identification of Novel GNAS Mutations in Intramuscular Myxoma Using Next- Generation Sequencing with Single-Molecule Tagged Molecular Inversion Probes Elise M
    Bekers et al. Diagnostic Pathology (2019) 14:15 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13000-019-0787-3 RESEARCH Open Access Identification of novel GNAS mutations in intramuscular myxoma using next- generation sequencing with single-molecule tagged molecular inversion probes Elise M. Bekers1,2* , Astrid Eijkelenboom1, Paul Rombout1, Peter van Zwam3, Suzanne Mol4, Emiel Ruijter5, Blanca Scheijen1 and Uta Flucke1 Abstract Background: Intramuscular myxoma (IM) is a hypocellular benign soft tissue neoplasm characterized by abundant myxoid stroma and occasional hypercellular areas. These tumors can, especially on biopsy material, be difficult to distinguish from low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma or low-grade myxofibrosarcoma. GNAS mutations are frequently involved in IM, in contrast to these other malignant tumors. Therefore, sensitive molecular techniques for detection of GNAS aberrations in IM, which frequently yield low amounts of DNA due to poor cellularity, will be beneficial for differential diagnosis. Methods: In our study, a total of 34 IM samples from 33 patients were analyzed for the presence of GNAS mutations, of which 29 samples were analyzed using a gene-specific TaqMan genotyping assay for the detection of GNAS hotspot mutations c.601C > T and c602G > A in IM, and 32 samples using a novel next generation sequencing (NGS)-based approach employing single-molecule tagged molecular inversion probes (smMIP) to identify mutations in exon 8 and 9 of GNAS. Results between the two assays were compared for their ability to detect GNAS mutations with high confidence. Results: In total, 23 of 34 samples were successfully analyzed with both techniques showing GNAS mutations in 12 out of 23 (52%) samples.

  • Colorectal Cancer Invasion and Atrophy of the Enteric Nervous System: Potential Feedback and Impact on Cancer Progression
    International Journal of Molecular Sciences Review Colorectal Cancer Invasion and Atrophy of the Enteric Nervous System: Potential Feedback and Impact on Cancer Progression Janusz Godlewski 1,* and Zbigniew Kmiec 2 1 Department of Human Histology and Embryology, Collegium Medicum, School of Medicine, University of Warmia and Mazury, 10-082 Olsztyn, Poland 2 Department of Histology, Medical University of Gdansk, 80-210 Gdansk, Poland; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +48-89-5245302 Received: 31 March 2020; Accepted: 8 May 2020; Published: 11 May 2020 Abstract: Colorectal cancer (CRC) invasion within the large intestine wall results in the replacement of normal tissue architecture by tumour mass. Cancer cells digest the extracellular matrix (ECM) by the release of proteolytic enzymes. The disintegration of matrix ground substance activates several deposited growth factors which stimulate cell proliferation. Stromal (mainly fibroblasts), immune and cancer cells dominate in this area and become involved in a network of multimodal interactions which significantly induce proliferation of colon cancer cells, inhibit their apoptosis and promote their spreading within the local tumour microenvironment. Cancer invasion destroys nerve fibres and neurons of the local enteric nervous system (ENS) and induces subsequent atrophy of the submucosal and myenteric plexuses in areas adjacent to the cancer boundary. Interestingly, the reduction of plexuses’ size is accompanied by the increased number of galanin-immunoreactive neurons and increased galanin content in parts of the colon located close to the tumour. Galanin, a neuroprotective peptide, may inhibit the extrinsic pathway of apoptosis and in this way promote cancer cell survival. The possible role of acetylcholine and some ENS neuropeptides was also discussed.
