摘要
Background: Mutations of the BCR-ABL1 fusion gene represent a well established cause of resistance to tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Among the different mutations identified T315I is of particular concern since it is not effectively targeted by the majority of Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors so far available. We developed a novel assay based on peptide nucleic acid (PNA) technology coupled to immunofluorescence microscopy (PNA-FISH) for the specific detection at a single cell level of BCR-ABL T315I mutation thus improving both, diagnostic resolution and the study of clonal prevalence. Furthermore we developed an additional method based on PNA directed PCR-clamping for the fast and easy detection of the mutation. Results: The PNA directed PCR clamping allows to detect an amount of mutated template as low as 0.5 %. This method is highly sensitive, specific and cheap and could be applied even in laboratory not equipped for more sophisticated analysis. Furthermore, the PNA FISH method allows to identify a small amount of progenitor cells still present after therapy with specific inhibitors. Conclusions: We present here two different methods based on PNA for the detection of T315I useful for different purposes. PNA-FISH can be used to study clonal evolution. In addition, this method could help in the study of compound mutations being able to identify two different mutations in a single cell. PNA directed PCR clamping although not superior to sequencing can be applied worldwide even in laboratory not equipped to search for mutations. © 2015 Rosso et al.
