Presentation Transcript

  1. Flow Cytometric Detection of Bone Marrow CD99+CD45- Cells in Ewing Sarcoma Steven DuBois, MD

  2. PCR Detection of EWS Cells • Ewing sarcoma cells detectable in blood and bone marrow by PCR for EWS fusion transcripts • ~30% of patients with non-metastatic Ewing sarcoma have detectable EWS fusion transcripts in bone marrow • Presence of EWS fusion transcript in bone marrow may be prognostic

  3. Disadvantages of PCR • Need to know type of EWS fusion transcript • Stability of mRNA • Can not further characterize the cells

  6. Objective • To quantify the percentage of bone marrow CD99+CD45- cells in patients with newly diagnosed Ewing sarcoma without clinically evident bone marrow metastatic disease

  7. Methods • Mononuclear cells isolated from fresh marrow • Patients with new Ewing sarcoma • Controls with other malignancies undergoing bone marrow aspiration • Standard preparation for flow cytometry • Stained with commercially available flow cytometry antibodies for CD99 and CD45 • Collect 2-9 million events per sample • CD99+CD45- gate based on positive control from A673 cell line

  8. Patient Characteristics (n = 17)

  9. CD99+CD45- Cells Detected in Bone Marrow from EWS Patients CD99 CD45 p = 0.0005

  10. CD99+CD45- Cells Detected in Marrow from EWS Patients

  11. CD99+CD45- Cells Detected in Marrow from EWS Patients

  12. CD99+CD45- Cells Detected in Marrow from EWS Patients with Metastatic Disease CD99 CD45 2 Patients with Isolated Lung Metastases Patient with Bone Marrow Metastasis

  13. Conclusions • Patients with newly diagnosed Ewing sarcoma appear to have increased numbers of marrow CD99+CD45- cells • Available evidence suggests that these CD99+CD45- cells are Ewing sarcoma cells

  14. Next Steps • Comparison with RT-PCR ongoing • Evaluation of controls without malignancy ongoing • Cell sorting and evaluation by FISH for EWSR1 translocations ongoing • Evaluation of prognostic impact planned
