Molecular mechanisms in the evolution of chronic myelocytic leukemia.

Chronic myelocytic or Ph1-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemias have been analyzed for alterations in a variety of proto-oncogenes and anti-oncogenes implicated in the progression of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) from its chronic phase to blast crisis. The most frequent genetic change found in disease evolution is an alteration of the p53 gene involving a point mutation, a rearrangement or a deletion. These gene changes are common in myeloid and undifferentiated variants of blast crisis but are usually undetectable in lymphoid leukemic transformants. Other molecular changes also occur in the clonal evolution of CML. The retinoblastoma-susceptibility (Rb) gene is an anti-oncogene. Structural abnormalities of Rb are frequent in all types of human acute leukemia, but are particularly common in Ph1-positive leukemia of lymphoid phenotype including both Ph1-positive ALL and lymphoid blast crisis of CML. Changes in Rb occur early in the transition to blast crisis with loss of Rb protein being the common factor. Mutations in the N-RAS gene also occur, but are rare in typical blast crisis. They are sometimes seen in Ph1-negative myeloid blast crisis. Since changes in the p53 gene are generally associated with progression of disease of a myeloid phenotype and changes in the Rb gene occur more often with a lymphoid phenotype, a particular molecular alteration may influence the character of disease evolution in CML.
