- Abstract:
- It is likely that leukemia results, at least in part, from mutations that lead to a block in the normal process of differentiation. A defined region of the cytoplasmic domain of the granulocyte colony-stimulating factor receptor (G-CSF-R) transmits signals for maturation or differentiation of myeloid progenitor cells. Mutations in this region have been found in some patients with severe congenital neutropenia (SCN) who subsequently evolved to acute myeloid leukemia (AML). To determine if mutations of the G-CSF-R are more widespread in hematological malignancies, we have investigated a total of 47 patients, including 29 patients with blast crisis of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML-BC) and 18 patients with de novo acute leukemia as well as 19 normal controls, by RT-PCR and SSCP analysis. Two point mutations were found in a single individual with secondary AML (FAB type M1). The first was heterozygous and is predicted to replace the normal glutamine at position 718 with a stop codon, leading to a truncated protein. An identical mutation has been described previously and shown to act in a dominant negative manner. The second mutation was homozygous and would substitute a lysine for the normal glutamic acid at position 785. No mutations were found in any other patient or control samples. We conclude that mutations in the cytoplasmic domain of the G-CSF-R are infrequent in CML-BC or acute leukemia but may contribute to malignant transformation in some cases.
