Human homolog of murine double minute 2 (HDM2) and HDM4 (or HDMX) are negative regulators of p53. HDM4 has not been assessed in precursor B (pre-B) lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). We examined bone marrow samples obtained at time of diagnosis from 55 adults with pre-B ALL. A tissue microarray composed of 2 cores per specimen was constructed and immunohistochemical techniques were used to assess HDM4, HDM2, p53, and p21. HDM4 was expressed in 39 of 49 (80%) cases. HDM2 was expressed in 14 of 54 (26%). All HDM2-positive cases were also positive for HDM4 (P < 0.05). We confirmed expression of HDM4 and HDM4 variants by Western blotting and sequencing of reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction products in a subset of ALL tumors. Results were correlated with the presence of the Philadelphia chromosome (Ph). p53 (P < 0.05) and p21 (P < 0.001) were expressed significantly more often in Ph+ pre-B ALL. HDM4 and HDM2 showed no correlation with Ph status. HDM4 expression in most cases of adult pre-B ALL suggests that HDM4 is a potential therapeutic target.
