Abstract
Hematological cancers, such as lymphomas and leukemias, pose significant challenges in oncology, necessitating a deeper understanding of their molecular landscape to enhance therapeutic strategies. This article critically examines and discusses recent research on the roles of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) in myeloma, lymphomas, and leukemias with a particular focus on pediatric acute lymphoblastic (lymphocytic) leukemia (ALL). By utilizing RNA sequencing (RNA-seq), we analyzed GPCR expression patterns in pediatric ALL samples (aged 3-12 years old), with a further focus on Class A orphan GPCRs. Our analysis revealed distinct GPCR expression profiles in pediatric ALL, identifying several candidates with aberrant upregulated expression compared with healthy counterparts. Among these GPCRs, GPR85, GPR65, and GPR183 have varying numbers of studies in the field of hematological cancers and pediatric ALL. Furthermore, we explored missense mutations of pediatric ALL in relation to the RNA gene expression findings, providing insights into the genetic underpinnings of this disease. By integrating both RNA-seq and missense mutation data, this article aims to provide an insightful and broader perspective on the potential correlations between specific GPCR and their roles in pediatric ALL.
