Cytogenetic Abnormalities

The aim of the study was to improve cytogenetic diagnostics and monitoring of myelofibrosis and to reveal the spectrum of cytogenetic abnormalities in patients from Ukraine. Materials and Methods: A total of 42 patients (23 females and 19 males) with myelofibrosis was studied using different cytogenetic methods. Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) was added by the new method during cultivation of peripheral blood (PB) cells from 31 patients for specific stimulation of mitotic divisions. Two patients underwent examination by fluorescent in situ hybridization method. Results: In cell cultures of PB stimulated in vitro with G-CSF and in non-stimulated bone marrow chromosome abnormalities were found in 19 (45.2%) of all the patients. The spectrum of cytogenetic abnormalities of bone marrow and PB was the same in all of the patients. Aspiration of bone marrow was unsuccessful due to significant fibrosis in 10 (29.4%) of 34 patients. The study by fluorescent in situ hybridization method confirmed cytogenetic abnormalities revealed by G-method and discovered additional possibly normal subclone. Conclusions: Cytogenetic study of PB using in vitro G-CSF as a specific stimulant of mitosis instead of phytohemagglutinin revealed significant variety of chromosomal abnormalities in Ukrainian patients with myelofibrosis. This method could be a less invasive alternative to cytogenetic examination of bone marrow in the subgroup of patients with considerable fibrosis and consecutive changes. The usage of fluorescent in situ hybridization method supplemented karyotyping by G-banding method.

Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a human food-borne pathogen with the ability to enter the food chain. It is able to acquire a viable, non-cultivable state (VBNC), which is not detected by traditional methods. The combination of the direct viable count method and a fluorescent in situ hybridization technique (DVC-FISH) makes it possible to detect microorganisms that can present VBNC forms in complex samples The optimization of the in vitro DVC-FISH technique for V. parahaemolyticus was carried out. The selected antibiotic was ciprofloxacin at a concentration of 0.75 μg/mL with an incubation time in DVC broth of 5 h. The DVC-FISH technique and the traditional plate culture were applied to detect and quantify the viable cells of the affected pathogen in artificially contaminated food matrices at different temperatures. The results obtained showed that low temperatures produced an important logarithmic decrease of V. parahaemolyticus, while at 22 °C, it proliferated rapidly. The DVC-FISH technique proved to be a useful tool for the detection and quantification of V. parahaemolyticus in the two seafood matrices of oysters and mussels. This is the first study in which this technique has been developed to detect viable cells for this microorganism.

Abstract The most frequent chromosomal abnormalities in B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (B-CLL) are deletions on 13q14 and 17p13, trisomy 12 and 14q32 rearrangement. Conventional metaphase cytogenetic analysis underestimates the frequency of specific chromosome aberrations in B-CLL due to the low rate of spontaneous mitoses and poor response to mitogen stimulation. The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence of chromosomal changes in bone marrow or peripheral blood cells (or both) of B-CLL patients using a molecular cytogenetic method, interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization (I-FISH). Probes for 13q14 (D13S319), 17p13 (P53 gene), the centromere of chromosome 12 (D12Z3) and 14q32 (Ig10 and Y6) were applied to detect chromosomal aberrations on bone marrow and peripheral blood smears from 83 B-CLL patients (60 male, 23 female,). Molecular cytogenetic aberrations were found in 60 (72.3%) cases, and 8 (9.6%) patients showed two kinds of abnormalities. The most frequent abnormalities detected in our patients was deletions of 13q14 in 34 cases (41.0%), followed by trisomy of chromosome 12 in 16 patients (19.3%), deletions of 17p13 in 10 patients (12%) and 14q32 rearrangement in 8 patients (9.6%). Statistical analyses were performed to correlate the molecular cytogenetic findings with Binet stages. No apparent differences in distribution were noted for anomalies del(13q14), del(17p13), +12 or 14q32 rearrangement among patients with various Binet stages. FISH was found to be a more rapid, exact and sensitive technique for the analysis of chromosome aberrations in CLL. FISH could provide accurate information of molecular cytogenetics for CLL.

Abstract Abstract 4902 Introduction Cytogenetics and fluorescent-in situ hybridization (FISH) are important outcome predictors in multiple myeloma (MM). There were only few small studies that investigated prognostic implication of FISH and/or conventional karyotyping in Korean MM patients. We investigated the incidences and prognostic significances of chromosomal abnormalities detected by FISH and/or conventional karyotyping among Korean MM patients. Patients and Methods We collected data of patients from Korean Myeloma Registry and performed retrospective analysis. We compared the survival of patients with chromosomal abnormalities and other clinical findings. Results From 2000 to 2009, total of 801 newly diagnosed myeloma patients were enrolled in this study. Median age of patients was 62 years. Median overall survival was 82 months, and median follow up of time was 92 months. Among the patients who had conventional karyotype analysis, 17.1% were complex karyotype, followed by del13q (7.4%), hyperdiploidy (7.6%), hypodiploidy (3.0%), and t(11;14) (3.9%). Among the patients who had FISH analysis, 22.8% were del 13q, followed by t(11;14) (18.2%), t(4;14) (13.7%), del17p (11.8%) and t(14;16) (5.9%). Univariate analyses revealed that complex karyotype (p<0.01), hypodiploidy (p=0.01), del13q (p<0.01) by conventional karyotyping, and t(4;14) (p=0.04) by FISH negatively impacted the overall survival. Other genomic aberrations did not affect the overall survival. Clinical parameters that impact on overall survival were percentage of plasma cells in bone marrow, serum beta2-microglobulin, creatinine, low hemoglobin, and low albumin levels. On multivariate analysis, percentage of plasma cells in bone marrow (p<0.01) and low serum albumin level (p<0.01) were independent risk factors for overall survival. Conclusions Our results showed that complex karyotype, hypodiploidy, t(4;14), and del13q by FISH and/or conventional karyotyping were negative prognostic factors for overall survival in univariate analyses. On multivariate analysis, low serum albumin level and percentage of plasma cells in bone marrow were independent risk factors for overall survival. In future, prospective trial with laboratory standardization is warranted for more reliable results from FISH and/or conventional karyotyping in MM patients.
