| Research Abstract |
The incidence of secondary, therapy-related leukemias has been increasing with the development of high-dose chemo-radiotherapy ; however, its molecular genetic mechanisms still remained unclear. We recently encountered a patient with 14-years-history of primary macroglobulinemia, who finally developed secondary, therapy-related monocytic leukemia. The G-banded and SKY analysis found that leukemic cells carried t (8 ; 22) (p11 ; q13) translocation. FISH and Southern blot analysis showed p300 and MOZ genes were involved in this translocation. RT-PCR analysis demonstrated fusion transcripts of these two genes, and the sequential analysis of the fusion product indicated that the product had two acetyl transferase domains. These results suggest aberrant expression of acetyl transferase might play an important role in the development of secondary leukemia.
