Abstract

Cellular morphology of small cell osteosarcoma, an aggressive variant of osteosarcoma, is similar to Ewing sarcoma, but its molecular pathogenesis is largely unknown. We report the case of a 12‐year‐old girl with multifocal small cell osteosarcoma positive for the Ewing sarcoma breakpoint region 1 (EWSR1) gene rearrangement by interphase fluorescent in situ hybridization and negative for EWSR1‐FLI1, EWSR1‐ERG, and EWSR1‐WT1 fusion transcripts by reverse transcriptase PCR. Rapid amplification of cDNA ends revealed exon 6 of the cAMP‐responsive element binding protein 3‐like 1 gene (CREB3L1, also known as “OASIS,” NM_52854.2) fused in‐frame to the EWSR1 exon 11, consistent with the EWSR1‐CREB3L1 fusion transcript expressed in tumor tissue. The corresponding chimeric gene was confirmed by amplification and subsequent sequencing of the genomic breakpoint between introns 11 and 5 of EWSR1 and CREB3L1, respectively. An ∼70 kDa product in the tumor tissue lysate reacted with the CREB3L1 carboxyterminal antibody, consistent with a 656‐amino acid predicted chimeric protein. Immunohistochemistry with the same antibody showed signal translocation from the physiologic perinuclear compartment observed in glia and unrelated osteoblasts to nuclei of tumor cells, consistent with the likely function of EWSR1‐CREB3L1 as a transcriptional regulator predicted by its structure. This is the first report of a fusion transcript in osteogenic sarcoma; it demonstrates a relation between molecular mechanisms of small cell osteogenic and Ewing sarcomas. The 3′‐end partner and the inferred structure of EWSR1‐CREB3L1, however, are different from those of Ewing sarcoma, suggesting different targets of the new oncogene. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

## Abstract The clinical course of myxoid/round cell liposarcoma (MRCL) is characterized by frequent local recurrences and metastases at unusual sites. MRCLs carry specific translocations, t(12;16) or rarely t(12;22), linking the __FUS__ or the __EWSR1__ gene with the __DDIT3__ gene, respectively.

## Abstract Tenosynovial giant cell tumors (TGCTs) are benign lesions of the tendon sheaths that primarily affect the fingers, ankles, or feet. Cytogenetic data have shown that 1p13 is most frequently involved in structural aberrations and that 2q37 is its most common translocation partner. The gen

## Abstract Previously, we identified a family with renal cell cancer and a t(2;3)(q35;q21). Positional cloning of the chromosome 3 breakpoint led to the identification of a novel gene, __DIRC2__, that spans this breakpoint. Here we have characterized the chromosome 2 breakpoint in detail and found

In a series of mouse pvt-I cDNA clones prepared from an immortalized B-cell line that contains an amplified c-rnyclpvt-I region, we have identified a unique cDNA, AJ-I, which contains 57 bp of pvt-I sequence (pvt-la) spliced to a novel sequence of 2.1 kb. We report here that this 3 ' segment (termed
