Aberrant HIF1- α and SIX-1 Expression is Associated with Poor Prognosis in Acute Myeloid Leukemia Patients with Isocitrate Dehydrogenase 1 Mutations.

ABSTRACT:

Background

IDH1 mutations are common in many cancers, however, their role in promoting the Warburg effect remains elusive. This study elucidates the putative involvement of mutant-IDH1 in regulating hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF1-α) and Sine-Oculis Homeobox-1 (SIX-1) expression.

Methodology

Genetic screening was performed using the ARMS-PCR in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), brain, and breast cancer (BC) cohorts, while transcript expression was determined using qPCR. Further, a meta-analysis of risk factors associated with the R132 mutation was performed.

Results

Approximately 32% of AML and ∼60% of glioma cases were mutants, while no mutation was found in the BC cohort. 'AA' and TT' were associated with higher disease risk (OR = 12.18 & 4.68) in AML and had significantly upregulated IDH1 expression. Moreover, downregulated HIF1-α and upregulated SIX-1 expression was also observed in these patients, suggesting that mutant-IDH1 may alter glucose metabolism. Perturbed IDH1 and HIF-α levels exhibited poor prognosis in univariate and multivariate analysis, while age and gender were found to be contributory factors as well. Based on the ROC model, these had a good potential to be used as prognostic markers. A significant variation in frequencies of R132 mutations in AML among different populations was observed. Cytogenesis (R² = 12.2%), NMP1 mutation status (R² = 18.5%), and ethnic contributions (R² = 73.21%) were critical moderators underlying these mutations. Women had a higher risk of R132 mutation (HR = 1.3, P < 0.04). The pooled prevalence was calculated to be 0.29 (95% CI 0.26-0.33, P < 0.01), indicating that IDH1 mutations are a significant prognostic factor in AML.

Conclusion

IDH1 and HIF1-α profiles are linked to poor survival and prognosis, while high SIX-1 expression in IDH1 mutants suggests a role in leukemic transformation and therapy response in AML.

Project description:Alterations to genes involved in cellular metabolism and epigenetic regulation are implicated in the pathogenesis of myeloid malignancies. Recurring mutations in isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) genes are detected in approximately 20% of adult patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and 5% of adults with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). IDH proteins are homodimeric enzymes involved in diverse cellular processes, including adaptation to hypoxia, histone demethylation and DNA modification. The IDH2 protein is localized in the mitochondria and is a critical component of the tricarboxylic acid (also called the 'citric acid' or Krebs) cycle. Both IDH2 and IDH1 (localized in the cytoplasm) proteins catalyze the oxidative decarboxylation of isocitrate to α-ketoglutarate (α-KG). Mutant IDH enzymes have neomorphic activity and catalyze reduction of α-KG to the (R) enantiomer of 2-hydroxyglutarate, which is associated with DNA and histone hypermethylation, altered gene expression and blocked differentiation of hematopoietic progenitor cells. The prognostic significance of mutant IDH (mIDH) is controversial but appears to be influenced by co-mutational status and the specific location of the mutation (IDH1-R132, IDH2-R140, IDH2-R172). Treatments specifically or indirectly targeted to mIDH are currently under clinical investigation; these therapies have been generally well tolerated and, when used as single agents, have shown promise for inducing responses in some mIDH patients when used as first-line treatment or in relapsed or refractory AML or MDS. Use of mIDH inhibitors in combination with drugs with non-overlapping mechanisms of action is especially promising, as such regimens may address the clonal heterogeneity and the multifactorial pathogenic processes involved in mIDH myeloid malignancies. Advances in mutational analysis have made testing more rapid and convenient, and less expensive; such testing should become part of routine diagnostic workup and repeated at relapse to identify patients who may benefit from treatments that target mIDH.
