Because abnormal erythroid differentiation is the most common
manifestation of the myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), it was hypothesized that erythroid gene expression may be used to illustrate myelodysplastic transcription patterns. Ten normal bone marrow aspirates (NBM) were first analyzed using an erythroid-focused cDNA
array to define steady-state transcription levels. Proliferation and
differentiation gene subsets were identified by statistically significant differences between NBM and erythroleukemia gene
expression. Next, cDNAs from 5 separate MDS aspirates were studied:
refractory anemia, refractory anemia with ringed sideroblasts,
refractory anemia with excess blasts, refractory anemia with excess
blasts in transformation (RAEB-T), and RAEB-T/secondary MDS. A
distinct pattern of significantly increased proliferation-associated
and reduced differentiation-associated gene activity was established for MDS.
