A1 - Amador, Virginia T1 - Epigenetic Activation of SOX11 in Lymphoid Neoplasms by Histone Modifications JF - PLoS ONE N2 - Recent studies have shown aberrant expression of SOX11 in various types of aggressive B-cell neoplasms. To elucidate the molecular mechanisms leading to such deregulation, we performed a comprehensive SOX11 gene expression and epigenetic study in stem cells, normal hematopoietic cells and different lymphoid neoplasms. We observed that SOX11 expression is associated with unmethylated DNA and presence of activating histone marks (H3K9/14Ac and H3K4me3) in embryonic stem cells and some aggressive B-cell neoplasms. In contrast, adult stem cells, normal hematopoietic cells and other lymphoid neoplasms do not express SOX11. Such repression was associated with silencing histone marks H3K9me2 and H3K27me3. The SOX11 promoter of non-malignant cells was consistently unmethylated whereas lymphoid neoplasms with silenced SOX11 tended to acquire DNA hypermethylation. SOX11 silencing in cell lines was reversed by the histone deacetylase inhibitor SAHA but not by the DNA methyltransferase inhibitor AZA. These data indicate that, although DNA hypermethylation of SOX11 is frequent in lymphoid neoplasms, it seems to be functionally inert, as SOX11 is already silenced in the hematopoietic system. In contrast, the pathogenic role of SOX11 is associated with its de novo expression in some aggressive lymphoid malignancies, which is mediated by a shift from inactivating to activating histone modifications.

A1 - Klapper, Wolfram A1 - Siebert, Reiner T1 - Biological characterization of adult MYC-translocation-positive mature B-cell lymphomas other than molecular Burkitt lymphoma JF - Haematologica N2 - Chromosomal translocations affecting the MYC oncogene are the biological hallmark of Burkitt lymphomas but also occur in a subset of other mature B-cell lymphomas. If accompanied by a chromosomal break targeting the BCL2 and/or BCL6 oncogene these MYC translocation-positive (MYC+) lymphomas are called double-hit lymphomas, otherwise the term single-hit lymphomas is applied. In order to characterize the biological features of these MYC+ lymphomas other than Burkitt lymphoma we explored, after exclusion of molecular Burkitt lymphoma as defined by gene expression profiling, the molecular, pathological and clinical aspects of 80 MYC-translocation-positive lymphomas (31 single-hit, 46 double-hit and 3 MYC+-lymphomas with unknown BCL6 status). Comparison of single-hit and double-hit lymphomas revealed no difference in MYC partner (IG/non-IG), genomic complexity, MYC expression or gene expression profile. Double-hit lymphomas more frequently showed a germinal center B-cell-like gene expression profile and had higher IGH and MYC mutation frequencies. Gene expression profiling revealed 130 differentially expressed genes between BCL6(+)/MYC+ and BCL2(+)/MYC+ double-hit lymphomas. BCL2(+)/MYC+ double-hit lymphomas more frequently showed a germinal center B-like gene expression profile. Analysis of all lymphomas according to MYC partner (IG/non-IG) revealed no substantial differences. In this series of lymphomas, in which immunochemotherapy was administered in only a minority of cases, single-hit and double-hit lymphomas had a similar poor outcome in contrast to the outcome of molecular Burkitt lymphoma and lymphomas without the MYC break. Our data suggest that, after excluding molecular Burkitt lymphoma and pediatric cases, MYC+ lymphomas are biologically quite homogeneous with single-hit and double-hit lymphomas as well as IG-MYC and non-IG-MYC+ lymphomas sharing various molecular characteristics.

Der Einfluss umweltspezifischer Störgeräusche auf die zwischenmenschliche Kommunikation manifestiert sich häufig in der Klage von Patienten in lärmerfüllter Umgebung nicht mehr ausreichend diskriminieren zu können. Es ist somit offensichtlich, dass eine Sprachaudiometrie ohne Berücksichtigung von Störlärm keine ausreichende Information über die tatsächliche Kommunikationsfähigkeit eines Patienten liefern kann. Unter Berücksichtigung dieser Tatsachen war es Ziel dieser Arbeit, herauszufinden, wie sich das Diskriminationsverhalten für Sprache ändert, wenn das Ohr noch extremeren Bedingungen ausgesetzt wird. So wurde unser Test nicht nur bei einem Störlärm von 60 und 80dB im freien Schallfeld durchgeführt, vielmehr wurde die Sprache zusätzlich bei einer Frequenz von 50ms zerhackt und alternierend aus dem rechten bzw. dem linken Lautsprecher dargeboten. Bocca und Calearo entwickelten diese Art von Test, um herauszufinden inwieweit zentrale Störungen Einfluss auf das Sprachverstehen haben. Ihre Untersuchungsergebnisse zeigten, dass nicht nur pathologische Veränderungen im Gehirn zu einer Verminderung der Sprachdiskrimination führten, sondern dass auch ein höheres Alter der Patienten die zentrale Verarbeitung des Hörereignisses negativ beeinflusste. Sie führten das auf eine Verlangsamung der Synapsentätigkeit im Alter zurück. Als Sprachmaterial verwendeten wir den HSM-Satztest (Hochmair, Schulz, Moser), als Hintergrundgeräusch das sprachmodulierte Rauschen nach CCITT Rec. G 227. Unser Probandenkollektiv bestand aus 60 Personen zwischen 40 und 58 Jahren, die sich selbst als normalhörend einstuften. Dieses Kollektiv wurde in eine schlechter und eine besser hörende Hälfte geteilt, wobei in dieser Dissertation nur die Ergebnisse der Letzteren genauer betrachtet wurden. Es ist zu erkennen, dass die Sprachverständlichkeitsschwelle mit dem HSM-Test nach Bocca-Calearo wesentlich höher lag, als mit dem HSM-Standardtest. Dies passt zu den Erkenntnissen, dass die Sprachdiskrimination unter erschwerten Bedingungen nachlässt. Im Gegensatz zu den Ergebnissen von Otto erreichten die Probanden bei unserem Versuch eine tendenziell bessere Verständnisquote bei 80dB Störlärm im Vergleich zu 60dB. Andere Untersuchungen kamen auch zu diesem Ergebnis. Bezüglich des Alters liegen unsere Werte für den HSM-Standardtest im Normbereich für diese Altersgruppe. Für den Test nach Bocca-Calearo gibt es bislang nur sehr wenige Vergleichsmöglichkeiten. Die durchschnittliche Sprachverständlichkeit war bei den Untersuchungen von Otto besser als bei unseren. Da sie Patienten im Alter von 20 bis 25 Jahren und somit ein jüngeres Probandengut testete, passen auch diese Ergebnisse durchaus zu dem bislang erhaltenen Erkenntnisstand. N2 - The meaning of noise in speech reception is well known. The influence of environment specific noise on interpersonal communication turns out to be a great problem. The most often complaint of patients is, that especially in a noisy surrounding their speech reception is fairly poor. For this reason a speech audiometrie without regarding the noise parameter, does not give us enough information about the real communication capability of a patient. Taking these facts into account the objective of this paper was to find out how the speech reception changes by exposing the ear even more extreme conditions. Therefore our tests were not only executed with a background noise of 60dB and 80dB in open soundfield, in fact in addition the speech was fractioned in a frequency of 50ms and alternatively presented from the right respectively the left speaker. Bocca and Calearo invented this type of test to find out to what extend central lesions have influence on the speech reception. Their studies showed, that not only central lesions led to deficiencies in discrimination, but also the age had influence on the test results. Subjects of a higher age came off with worse results than younger people. They ascribed these results to a slowdown of the synaptic activity in age. As test materials we used the HSM-sentence test and as a background noise the speech modulated noise CCITT. Our subjects consisted of 60 people at an age between 40-58 years, who claimed themselves as normal hearing. The collective was split in a better and a worse hearing half, whereas in this paper only the first group was of interest. Our results show that the speech reception threshold achieved with the HSM test modulated in the mode of Bocca – Calearo was way higher than the srt with the HSM standard test. This corresponds to the conclusion that the deficiency in speech discrimination rises under aggravated conditions. In contrary to the results of Otto our subjects reached a better speech reception threshold at 80db noise in comparison to 60db noise. Other researches where concordant with our results. In terms of age, our data for the HSM standard test shows the normal speech reception for this age-group. For the test accomplished in the mode of Bocca-Calearo, there are not many possibilities of comparison. Otto`s results show in average a better speech reception than ours do. As the patients in her studies were all at an age between 20 to 25 years, which is much younger than our subjects have been, it relates pretty good to previously found conclusions.
