Expression of NrasQ61R and MYC transgene in germinal center B cells induces a highly malignant multiple myeloma in mice

Zhi Wen, Adhithi Rajagopalan, Evan D. Flietner, Grant Yun, Marta Chesi, Quinlan Furumo, Robert T. Burns, Athanasios Papadas, Erik A. Ranheim, Adam C. Pagenkopf, Zachary T. Morrow, Remington Finn, Yun Zhou, Shuyi Li, Xiaona You, Jeffrey Jensen, Mei Yu, Alexander Cicala, James Menting, Constantine S. Mitsiades, Natalie S. Callander, P. Leif Bergsagel, Demin Wang, Fotis Asimakopoulos, Jing Zhang

Summary: NRAS Q61 mutations are prevalent in advanced/relapsed multiple myeloma, with poor patient outcomes. A novel MM model was generated in mice, exhibiting characteristics similar to human advanced/high-risk MM. MEK inhibition-based therapies significantly prolonged survival in advanced-stage MM mice, suggesting potential for future clinical application.

Acetyl-CoA Synthetase 2: A Critical Linkage in Obesity-Induced Tumorigenesis in Myeloma

Zongwei Li, Huan Liu, Jin He, Zhiqiang Wang, Zheng Yin, Gichun You, Zhiming Wang, Richard E. Davis, Pei Lin, Leif Bergsagel, Elisabet E. Manasanch, Stephen T. C. Wong, Nestor F. Esnaola, Jenny C. Chang, Robert Z. Orlowski, Qing Yi, Jing Yang

Summary: The study indicates that acetyl-CoA synthetase 2 (ACSS2) plays an important role in obesity-related myeloma progression, interacting with oncoprotein interferon regulatory factor 4 (IRF4) to enhance tumor growth. Overexpression of ACSS2 contributes to IRF4 stability and gene transcription, reducing myeloma growth in an obese mouse model.

Inflation of tumor mutation burden by tumor-only sequencing in under-represented groups

Yan W. Asmann, Kaushal Parikh, P. Leif Bergsagel, Haidong Dong, Alex A. Adjei, Mitesh J. Borad, Aaron S. Mansfield

Summary: The recent FDA approval of TMB-H status as a biomarker for PD-1 inhibitor treatment highlights the importance of accurate assessment of patient-specific TMB. Research shows that using public databases for TMB estimation without patient-paired germline sequencing may introduce racial bias, with TMB being more inflated in Black patients compared to White patients.

Fonder, Miriam A. Hobbs, S. Vincent Rajkumar, Vivek Roy, Taimur Sher

Summary: AL amyloidosis is a clonal plasma cell disorder that can lead to organ failure. Early recognition, anti-plasma cell therapy, and supportive care are important for improving patient survival.

Summary: This study presents a standardized approach to describe the prevalence and predictors of financial hardship (FH) in cancer patients and examines its association with survival. It highlights the need for further research to develop care pathways for patients at high risk of poor financial and clinical outcomes.

Impact of Disease Progression, Line of Therapy, and Response on Health-Related Quality of Life in Multiple Myeloma: A Systematic Literature Review

Rafael Fonseca, Diana Tran, Alyshia Laidlaw, Emily Rosta, Manvir Rai, Joana Duran, Eric M. Ammann

Summary: This systematic literature review aimed to understand the impact of disease progression, line of therapy, and clinical response on health-related quality of life in multiple myeloma patients. Through multiple rounds of screening, 41 studies were included, indicating that disease progression and increasing lines of therapy were associated with worsened patient HRQoL, while increasing depth of response was associated with improved patient HRQoL.

Tumor Burden Limits Bispecific Antibody Efficacy through T-cell Exhaustion Averted by Concurrent Cytotoxic Therapy

Summary: A study on BCMA/CD3-targeting bispecific antibodies (BsAb) in mouse models of multiple myeloma revealed that the BsAb was safe and effective in some cases but not in those with high tumor burden, with combination with pomalidomide showing improved efficacy but limited survival due to toxicity and T-cell exhaustion. However, combining with cyclophosphamide was safe and prevented T-cell exhaustion, promoting long-term disease control.

Chromosome 1q21 abnormalities in multiple myeloma

Timothy M. Schmidt, Rafael Fonseca, Saad Z. Usmani

Summary: +1q chromosome gain is common in multiple myeloma, often seen as a poor prognostic marker but not uniformly adopted as high-risk. Controversy exists regarding its importance, with many genes at the 1q21 locus proposed to cause resistance to therapy.
