Rise and fall of subclones from diagnosis to relapse in pediatric B-acute lymphoblastic leukaemia.

ABSTRACT: There is incomplete understanding of genetic heterogeneity and clonal evolution during cancer progression. Here we use deep whole-exome sequencing to describe the clonal architecture and evolution of 20 pediatric B-acute lymphoblastic leukaemias from diagnosis to relapse. We show that clonal diversity is comparable at diagnosis and relapse and clonal survival from diagnosis to relapse is not associated with mutation burden. Six pathways were frequently mutated, with NT5C2, CREBBP, WHSC1, TP53, USH2A, NRAS and IKZF1 mutations enriched at relapse. Half of the leukaemias had multiple subclonal mutations in a pathway or gene at diagnosis, but mostly with only one, usually minor clone, surviving therapy to acquire additional mutations and become the relapse founder clone. Relapse-specific mutations in NT5C2 were found in nine cases, with mutations in four cases being in descendants of the relapse founder clone. These results provide important insights into the genetic basis of treatment failure in ALL and have implications for the early detection of mutations driving relapse.

Expression data from ALL diagnosis and relapse pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia cases

Project description:There is a distinct signature of differentially expressed probes from diagnosis to relapse Gene expression profiles of pediatric patients with B-precursor ALL were compared to at 2 time points, diagnosis and relapse. The overall design was a comparison of gene expression at diagnosis and relapse within individual patients. A subset analysis (comparing diagnosis to relapse expression within individuals), was done for early relapse (less than 36 months) cases only and late relapse (greater than 36 months) cases only.

Mutational patterns and clonal evolution from diagnosis to relapse in pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Project description:The mechanisms driving clonal heterogeneity and evolution in relapsed pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) are not fully understood. We performed whole genome sequencing of samples collected at diagnosis, relapse(s) and remission from 29 Nordic patients. Somatic point mutations and large-scale structural variants were called using individually matched remission samples as controls, and allelic expression of the mutations was assessed in ALL cells using RNA-sequencing. We observed an increased burden of somatic mutations at relapse, compared to diagnosis, and at second relapse compared to first relapse. In addition to 29 known ALL driver genes, of which nine genes carried recurrent protein-coding mutations in our sample set, we identified putative non-protein coding mutations in regulatory regions of seven additional genes that have not previously been described in ALL. Cluster analysis of hundreds of somatic mutations per sample revealed three distinct evolutionary trajectories during ALL progression from diagnosis to relapse. The evolutionary trajectories provide insight into the mutational mechanisms leading relapse in ALL and could offer biomarkers for improved risk prediction in individual patients.

Mutational patterns and clonal evolution from diagnosis to relapse in pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia

Project description:Despite high survival rates in pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), relapse remains a leading cause of cancer-related death in children. Many patients suffer from adverse drug effects during treatment and other complications later in life, and would benefit from improved relapse prediction at diagnosis. We performed whole genome sequencing of samples collected at diagnosis, relapse(s) and remission from 29 Nordic patients with pediatric ALL. Somatic mutations were called using individually matched remission samples as controls, and allelic expression of the mutations in the ALL cells was assessed using RNA-sequencing. These analyses identified 29 previously known ALL driver genes, of which nine genes carried recurrent protein-coding mutations in our sample set, and 20 mutated driver genes occurred in individual samples. We detected putative non-coding mutations in regulatory regions of seven additional genes that have not been described previously in ALL. We observed an increased burden of somatic mutations at relapse. Cluster analysis of hundreds of somatic mutations per sample revealed three distinct evolutionary trajectories during ALL progression. In an “ancestral clone trajectory”, the major cell clone at relapse originated from a founder clone that was not detectable at diagnosis. In a “rising diagnostic clone trajectory”, a minor cell clone at diagnosis expanded to form the major cell clone at relapse. In a “persistent diagnostic clone trajectory”, the major cell clone at diagnosis persisted during treatment until relapse. The evolutionary trajectories provide insight into the mutational mechanisms leading relapse in ALL and could offer biomarkers for improved risk prediction in individual patients.

Isolated Intraocular Relapse of Pediatric B-cell Precursor Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia Following Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-lymphocyte Therapy.

Project description:Chimeric antigen receptor T-lymphocytes (CAR T) targeting the CD19 surface antigen have achieved a breakthrough in the treatment of multiply relapsed and refractory bone marrow (BM) disease in childhood B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (B-ALL). The ability of CAR T therapy to treat extramedullary (EM) disease is less proven. However, early reports suggest trafficking of CART-cells to the central nervous system (CNS) as well as other EM sites. We describe a case of isolated intraocular relapse of pediatric B-ALL following CAR T-cell therapy, which had successfully controlled multiply relapsed BM and CNS disease. CAR T-cells may not be able to traffic into the eye, making it a "sanctuary" site during therapy.

Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia.

Project description:Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia occurs in both children and adults but its incidence peaks between 2 and 5 years of age. Causation is multifactorial and exogenous or endogenous exposures, genetic susceptibility, and chance have roles. Survival in paediatric acute lymphoblastic leukaemia has improved to roughly 90% in trials with risk stratification by biological features of leukaemic cells and response to treatment, treatment modification based on patients' pharmacodynamics and pharmacogenomics, and improved supportive care. However, innovative approaches are needed to further improve survival while reducing adverse effects. Prognosis remains poor in infants and adults. Genome-wide profiling of germline and leukaemic cell DNA has identified novel submicroscopic structural genetic changes and sequence mutations that contribute to leukaemogenesis, define new disease subtypes, affect responsiveness to treatment, and might provide novel prognostic markers and therapeutic targets for personalised medicine.

Isolated myocardial relapse of Philadelphia-positive acute lymphoblastic leukaemia causing myocarditis: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundRelapse of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) causes significant morbidity. Extramedullary relapse is seldom isolated to one site and almost always coexists with extensive marrow disease. Leukaemic infiltration of the myocardium is a well described entity, evident in up to 44% of patients at post-mortem examination; however, ante-mortem diagnosis remains difficult and rare. As a result, myocardial involvement in the absence of any other foci of relapse has only seldom been reported.Case summaryHere, we present an unusual case of isolated gross intracardiac relapse of ALL in a patient presenting with chest pain and fevers. Both cardiac magnetic resonance imaging and endomyocardial biopsy were utilized in the diagnosis and identified leukaemic infiltrate in the absence of peripheral lymphoblasts.DiscussionDespite evidence supporting a positive correlation between peripheral lymphocyte count and myocardial infiltration, our case highlights the rare and hypothesis-driving occurrence of myocardial infiltration with a complete absence of a peripheral lymphoblastosis. The report highlights the utility of modern histopathological and imaging modalities in the diagnosis of isolated myocardial relapse of ALL and provides insight into the aetiologies driving this process.

Mutations in epigenetic regulators including SETD2 are gained during relapse in paediatric acute lymphoblastic leukaemia.

Project description:Relapsed paediatric acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) has high rates of treatment failure. Epigenetic regulators have been proposed as modulators of chemoresistance, here, we sequence genes encoding epigenetic regulators in matched diagnosis-remission-relapse ALL samples. We find significant enrichment of mutations in epigenetic regulators at relapse with recurrent somatic mutations in SETD2, CREBBP, MSH6, KDM6A and MLL2, mutations in signalling factors are not enriched. Somatic alterations in SETD2, including frameshift and nonsense mutations, are present at 12% in a large de novo ALL patient cohort. We conclude that the enrichment of mutations in epigenetic regulators at relapse is consistent with a role in mediating therapy resistance.
