A new way to identify tumor-specific genes is to compare gene
expression profiles between malignant cells and their autologous normal
counterparts. In patients with multiple myeloma, a major plasma cell
disorder, normal plasma cells are not easily attainable in vivo. We
report here that in vitro differentiation of peripheral blood B
lymphocytes, purified from healthy donors and from patients with
multiple myeloma, makes it possible to obtain a homogeneous population
of normal plasmablastic cells. These cells were identified by their
morphology, phenotype, production of polyclonal immunoglobulins, and
expression of major transcription factors involved in B-cell differentiation. Oligonucleotide microarray analysis shows that these
polyclonal plasmablastic cells have a gene expression pattern close to
that of normal bone marrow-derived plasma cells. Detailed analysis of
genes statistically differentially expressed between normal and tumor
plasma cells allows the identification of myeloma-specific genes,
including oncogenes and genes coding for tumor antigens. These data
should help to disclose the molecular mechanisms of myeloma
pathogenesis and to define new therapeutic targets in this still fatal
malignancy. In addition, the comparison of gene expression between
plasmablastic cells and B cells provides a new and powerful tool to
identify genes specifically involved in normal plasma cell differentiation.
