Rearrangements of HMGA2 and PPAP2B were detected by metaphase FISH mapping using the Keywords dual-color break-apart FISH probes set RP11-30I11 lipoma; translocation; HMGA2; PPAP2B.

CXCR7 (2q37), EBF1 (5q33), LHFP (13q12) and Chromosomal rearrangements involving HMGA2 NFIB (9p22) (Petit et al., 1996; Petit et al., 1999; have been described in various benign tumors mostly Broberg et al., 2002; Nilsson et al., 2005; Nilsson et of mesenchymal origin including lipomas (Ashar et al., 2006; Hatano et al., 2008; Italiano et al., 2008). al., 1995; Schoenmakers et al., 1995). Description PLPP3 The translocation preserves the full coding region of Location HMGA2 so the HMGA2-PPAP2B fusion transcript is predicted to encode a full length HMGA2 protein. 1p32.2 Oncogenesis DNA / RNA The 3' UTR of HMGA2 contains multiple binding PPAP2B is a member of the sites for the let-7 family. Targeted mutations of phosphatase (PAP) gene family. The PPAP2B gene these binding sites or functional inactivation of let-7 contains 6 exons and spans more than 84 kb. result in upregulation of HMGA2 (Lee and Dutta, Protein 2007; Mayr et al., 2007). We have observed that the The protein (311 amino acids and 35 kDa) encoded t(1;12)(p32;q14) translocation results in a strong by the PPAP2B gene is LPP3 a member of the lipid HMGA2 overexpression both at the mRNA and phosphate phosphatase (LPP) family. protein levels. Our results therefore confirm the LPPs are that catalyze the hypothesis that HMGA2 overexpression can be of lipid phosphates including induced by removal of the let-7 binding sites in phosphatidate and lysophosphatidic acid. LPP3 is a HMGA2 3' UTR.
