  1. Advances in Biology and Pathophysiology of Multiple Myeloma Amer G. Rassam, MD

  2. History of Multiple Myeloma • First case, a London grocer “Thomas Alexander McBean” • Jumped from a cave in 1844 • According to Drs. Thomas Watson and William MacIntyre, Mr. McBean had “Mollities et Fragilitas Ossium” • Mr. McBean died on New Year’s day in 1846

  3. History of Multiple Myeloma • Urine sample presented to “Henry Bence Jones” • Large amount of protein was found in the sample • The protein has became known as Bence Jones Protein

  4. History of Multiple Myeloma In 1890s, Paul Unna and Ramon Cajal identified the plasma cell as a cell type and the cause of Multiple Myeloma Paul Gerson Unna 1850-1929 Santiago Ramon Y. Cajal 1852-1934

  5. History of Multiple Myeloma • In 1873, Rustizky introduced the name Multiple Myeloma • In 1922, Bayne-Jones and Wilson identified 2 distinct groups of Bence Jones protein • In 1956, Korngold and Lipari identified the relationship between Bence Jones protein and serum proteins

  6. Epidemiology of Multiple Myeloma • Prevalence (at any one time) : 40000 • Incidence: 14000 diagnosed each year • Median age: 65 • Median survival: 33 months • M:F 53:47 • 1.1% of all cancer diagnosis • 2% of all cancer deaths

Pathogenesis of Multiple Myeloma Two pathways involved in the early pathogenesis of MGUS and MM 50% Hyperdiploid 50% non-hyperdiploid Infrequent IgH Translocations IgH Translocations 11q13 (cyclin D1) 4p16 FGFR3+ MMSET 6p21 (cyclin D3) Multiple trisomies of chromosomes 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 15, 19 and 21 16q23 (c-maf) 20q11 (mafB) Hideshima et al, Blood, August 2004, 607-618

  16. Prevalence of IgH Translocations 4p16 or 16q23 • Lower incidence with MGUS/SMM • de novo MM • Rapid progression of MGUS to MM • Extremely poor prognosis

  20. Dysregulation of cyclin D1, D2, D3 “a unifying oncogenic event in MM” • MGUS and MM appear closer to normal PCs than to normal PBs • >30% of cells can be in S phase • Expression level of cyclin D1, D2, D3 mRNA in MM and MGUS is distinctly higher than normal PCs • Expression level of cyclin D2 mRNA is comparable with that expressed in normal proliferating PBs

  21. Dysregulation of cyclin D1, D2, D3 “a unifying oncogenic event in MM” • Cyclin D1 is not expressed in normal hemopoitic cells • Cyclin D1 expressed in 40% of MM lacking a t(11;14) translocation • Ig translocations that dysregulate cyclin D1 or D3 occur in about 20% of MM tumors • Therefore, almost all MM tumors dysregulate at least one of the cyclin D genes

  28. The TC Molecular Classification Predicts Prognosis and Response to Therapies • The TC classification may be clinically useful way to classify patients into groups that have distinct subtypes of MM (and MGUS) tumors. • The TC classification identifies clinically important molecular subtypes of MM with different prognosis and with unique responses to different treatments.

  43. Mechanism of Action of Bortezomib • Phosphorylation of NFKB inhibitory partner protein IKB leads to degradation of IKB by the proteosome and release of NFKB • NFKB migrates into the nucleus to induce arrest of apoptosis and expression of adhesion molecule • Affinity of Bortezomib for the proteosome inhibits protein degradation, and prevents nuclear translocation of NFKB Bruno et al, The Lancet Oncology, July 2004, 430-442

  44. Mechanism of Action of Arsenic Trioxide • Mutated P53: Arsenic trioxide triggers the caspase cascade by activation of caspases 8 and 10 • Functional P53: The cascade is activated through the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway and the activation of caspase 9 Bruno et al, The Lancet Oncology, July 2004, 430-442
