To better define the molecular basis of multiple myeloma
(MM) we performed unsupervised hierarchical clustering of
mRNA expression profiles from CD138-selected plasma cell
samples from 414 newly diagnosed patients who went on to
receive high dose therapy and tandem stem cell
transplants. Seven disease subtypes were validated that
were strongly influenced by known genetic lesions, such as
c-MAF- & MAFB-, CCND1- & CCND3- and
MMSET-activating translocations and hyperdiploidy.
Indicative of the deregulation of common pathways by gene
orthologs, common gene signatures were observed in cases
with c-MAF- and MAFB-activation and
CCND1- and CCND3-activation; the latter
consisting of two subgroups, one characterized by
expression of the early B-cell markers CD20 and
PAX5. A low incidence of focal bone disease
distinguished one and increased expression of
proliferation-associated genes another novel subgroup.
Comprising varying fractions of each of the other six
subgroups, the proliferation subgroup dominated at
relapse, suggesting that this signature is linked to
disease progression. Proliferation and MMSET-spike
groups were characterized by significant over-expression
of genes mapping to chromosome 1q and both exhibited a
poor prognosis relative to the other groups. A subset of
cases with a predominating myeloid gene expression
signature, excluded from the profiling analyses, had more
favorable baseline characteristics and superior prognosis
to those lacking this signature.
