Abstract
The molecular heterogeneity of T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) makes this disease complex. Early T-cell precursor ALL (ETP-ALL) is a recognized subtype of T-ALL associated with a high probability of induction failure with conventional therapy. Higher expression of myocyte enhancer factor 2C (MEF2C) and the absence of a biallelic deletion (ABD) are the designated markers for the ETP-ALL. Co-deletion of the contiguous genes cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2A/2B (CDKN2A/2B) and the methylthioadenosine phosphorylase (MTAP) cluster, located at 9p21.3, is another common alteration in T-ALL and confers poor response to treatment. We used real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis to assess MEF2CmRNA expression and ABD status. Copy number alterations (CNAs) in key genes previously reported to be altered in T-ALL were assessed using multiple ligation probe amplification (MLPA). We observed that CNAs in this co-deletion cluster of CDKN2A/B and MTAP genes exhibited low MEF2C expression while ABD was associated with CNA in the Abelson murine leukemia 1 (ABL1) gene. Assessment of MEF2C expression based on immunophenotype revealed that its association with CDKN2A/2B alteration is present in non-immature immunophenotype. Additionally, ABD was associated with copy number alterations of T-cell acute lymphocytic leukemia protein 1 (TAL1), myeloblastosis (MYB), and LIM domain only 2 (LMO2) genes in immature immunophenotypes. Further, STIL::TAL1 fusion was associated with low expression of MEF2C. These associations may help explain the difficulties in assessing disease heterogeneity and the prognostic importance of 9p21.3 alterations in T-ALL.

  • Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
  • We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
  • We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
  • The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
  • Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance

要点】:研究揭示了T细胞急性淋巴细胞白血病中CDKN2A/2B和MTAP基因的拷贝数改变与低MEF2C表达的相关性,为理解疾病异质性和9p21.3区域改变在预后中的重要性提供了新视角。

方法】:通过实时PCR分析评估MEF2C mRNA表达和biallelic deletion (ABD)状态,利用MLPA技术评估已知在T-ALL中改变的基因的拷贝数变异。

实验】:实验采用实时PCR和MLPA技术,数据集未明确提及,但根据实验方法推测使用了T-ALL患者的样本,发现CDKN2A/2B和MTAP基因的拷贝数改变与低MEF2C表达显著相关,且与ABD状态和特定基因的拷贝数改变存在联系。
