Acute lymphoblastic leukemia clonal distribution between bone marrow and peripheral blood.

ABSTRACT: Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is often composed of numerous subclones. Here we test whether the clonal composition of the blood is representative of the bone marrow at leukemia onset. Using ultra-deep IGH sequencing, we detected 28 clones across 16 patients; 5/28 were only in the marrow. In four patients, the most abundant clones differed between sites, including three in which the dominant medullary clones were minimally detectable in the blood. These findings demonstrate that the peripheral blood often underrepresents the genetic heterogeneity in a B-ALL and highlight the potential impact of tissue site selection on the detection of minor subclones.

Project description:Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are heterogeneous, phospholipid membrane enclosed particles that are secreted by healthy and cancerous cells. EVs are present in diverse biological fluids and have been associated with the severity of diseases, which indicates their potential as biomarkers for diagnosis, prognosis and as therapeutic targets. This study investigated the phenotypic characteristics of EVs derived from peripheral blood (PB) and bone marrow (BM) in pediatric patients with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) during different treatment stages. PB and BM plasma were collected from 20 B-ALL patients at three time points during induction therapy, referred to as: diagnosis baseline (D0), day 15 of induction therapy (D15) and the end of the induction therapy (D35). In addition, PB samples were collected from 10 healthy children at a single time point. The EVs were measured using CytoFLEX S flow cytometer. Calibration beads were employed to ensure accurate size analysis. The following, fluorescent-labeled specific cellular markers were used to label the EVs: Annexin V (phosphatidylserine), CD235a (erythrocyte), CD41a (platelet), CD51 (endothelial cell), CD45 (leukocyte), CD66b (neutrophil), CD14 (monocyte), CD3 (T lymphocyte), CD19, CD34 and CD10 (B lymphoblast/leukemic blast). Our results demonstrate that B-ALL patients had a marked production of EV-CD51/61+, EV-CD10+, EV-CD19+ and EV-CD10+CD19+ (double-positive) with a decrease in EV-CD41a+ on D0. However, the kinetics and signature of production during induction therapy revealed a clear decline in EV-CD10+ and EV-CD19+, with an increase of EV-CD41a+ on D35. Furthermore, B-ALL patients showed a complex biological network, exhibiting distinct profiles on D0 and D35. Interestingly, fold change and ROC curve analysis demonstrated that EV-CD10+CD19+ were associated with B-ALL patients, exhibited excellent clinical performance and standing out as a potential diagnostic biomarker. In conclusion, our data indicate that EVs represent a promising field of investigation in B-ALL, offering the possibility of identifying potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets.
