A Curious Novel Combination of Nucleophosmin (NPM1) Gene Mutations Leading to Aberrant Cytoplasmic Dislocation of NPM1 in Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML)
Nucleophosmin (NPM1) mutations occurring in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) (about 50 so far identified) cluster almost exclusively in exon 12 and lead to common changes at the NPM1 mutants C-terminus, i.e., loss of tryptophans 288 and 290 (or 290 alone) and creation of a new nuclear export signal (NES...

description | Nucleophosmin (NPM1) mutations occurring in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) (about 50 so far identified) cluster almost exclusively in exon 12 and lead to common changes at the NPM1 mutants C-terminus, i.e., loss of tryptophans 288 and 290 (or 290 alone) and creation of a new nuclear export signal (NES), at the bases of exportin-1(XPO1)-mediated aberrant cytoplasmic NPM1. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) detects cytoplasmic NPM1 and is predictive of the molecular alteration. Besides IHC and molecular sequencing, Western blotting (WB) with anti-NPM1 mutant specific antibodies is another approach to identify NPM1-mutated AML. Here, we show that among 382 AML cases with NPM1 exon 12 mutations, one was not recognized by WB, and describe the discovery of a novel combination of two mutations involving exon 12. This appeared as a conventional mutation A with the known TCTG nucleotides insertion/duplication accompanied by a second event (i.e., an 8-nucleotide deletion occurring 15 nucleotides downstream of the TCTG insertion), resulting in a new C-terminal protein sequence. Strikingly, the sequence included a functional NES ensuring cytoplasmic relocation of the new mutant supporting the role of cytoplasmic NPM1 as critical in AML leukemogenesis. |
