Background Nucleophosmin (NPM), a nucleocytoplasmic shuttlingprotein with prominent nucleolar localization, regulates theARF-p53 tumor-suppressor pathway. Translocations involving theNPM gene cause cytoplasmic dislocation of the NPM protein.
Methods We used immunohistochemical methods to study the subcellularlocalization of NPM in bone marrowbiopsy specimens from591 patients with primary acute myelogenous leukemia (AML).We then correlated the presence of cytoplasmic NPM with clinicaland biologic features of the disease.
Results Cytoplasmic NPM was detected in 208 (35.2 percent) ofthe 591 specimens from patients with primary AML but not in135 secondary AML specimens or in 980 hematopoietic or extrahematopoieticneoplasms other than AML. It was associated with a wide spectrumof morphologic subtypes of the disease, a normal karyotype,and responsiveness to induction chemotherapy, but not with recurrentgenetic abnormalities. There was a high frequency of FLT3 internaltandem duplications and absence of CD34 and CD133 in AML specimenswith a normal karyotype and cytoplasmic dislocation of NPM,but not in those in which the protein was restricted to thenucleus. AML specimens with cytoplasmic NPM carried mutationsof the NPM gene that were predicted to alter the protein atits C-terminal; this mutant gene caused cytoplasmic localizationof NPM in transfected cells.
Conclusions Cytoplasmic NPM is a characteristic feature of alarge subgroup of patients with AML who have a normal karyotype,NPM gene mutations, and responsiveness to induction chemotherapy.
