Prognostic role of ACTL10 in Cytogenetic Normal Acute Myeloid Leukemia.

ABSTRACT: ACTL10 is a member of the actin family; however, despite previous studies suggesting that certain proteins in this family may be related to the pathogenesis of leukemia, to the best of our knowledge, no studies to date have demonstrated any association between ACTAL10 and leukemia. Thus, the present study aimed to determine the association between ACTL10 expression levels, DNA methylation levels and the clinical prognosis in cytogenic normal acute myeloid leukemia (CN-AML). Data from seventy-five patients with CN-AML and patients with AML treated with chemotherapy or allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) dataset and were used to analyze the clinical prognosis of ACTL10 RNA expression levels and DNA methylation levels. In addition, the study also investigated the combined clinical prognosis of ACTL10 RNA expression levels and ACTL10 DNA methylation levels in 74 patients with CN-AML from the TCGA dataset. ACTL10 RNA expression levels were observed to be highly expressed in patients with CD34+/CD38+ AML (P<0.01). Both ACTL10 RNA expression levels and DNA methylation were found to be independent prognostic factors for patients with CN-AML; patients with CN-AML in the ACTL10 RNA-high expression group had an increased EFS (P=0.0016) and OS (P=0.014) and patients in ACTL10 DNA methylation-low group also demonstrated a long EFS (P<0.0001) and OS (P=0.004). Notably, integrating ACTL10 RNA expression levels and ACTL10 DNA methylation levels could more accurately predict the prognosis of patients with CN-AML (EFS and OS, P<0.0001). In conclusion, the findings of the present study suggested that the high RNA expression levels and low DNA methylation levels of ACTL10 may predict a good prognosis in patients with CN-AML.

Project description:Acute myeloid leukemia with normal karyotype (NK-AML) is a group of diseases with high heterogeneity and immunological processes are significantly associated with its initiation and development. The implication of the immunogenomic landscape in the prognosis of patients with NK-AML has remained largely elusive. In the present study, the expression profiles of immune-related genes (IRGs) were examined and their association with overall survival (OS) was determined in 60 patients with NK-AML from The Cancer Genome Atlas dataset and 104 patients from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) dataset no. GSE71014. Univariate Cox regression analysis was used to identify 42 and 203 IRGs in the two respective cohorts, which were significantly associated with OS in NK-AML. A risk model was constructed based on the regression coefficient and expression values of nine survival-associated IRGs shared between the two datasets [zinc finger CCCH-type containing, antiviral 1 like; transferrin receptor; suppressor of cytokine signaling 1; ELAV like RNA binding protein 1; roundabout guidance receptor 3; unc-93 homolog B1, Toll-like receptor signaling regulator; protein tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor type 6; interleukin 2 receptor subunit alpha (IL2RA) and IL3RA]. Using this risk model, patients with NK-AML may be divided into high- and low-risk groups in prognostic predictions. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for predicting OS was 0.793. The prognostic role of this risk model was successfully verified in another independent cohort (GEO dataset no. GSE71014). The prognostic risk score was positively associated with age and fms related receptor tyrosine kinase 3 mutation and correlated with infiltration by T regulatory cells. In conclusion, the results of the present study provided an IRG score model for prognostic stratification of adult patients with NK-AML, as well as further insight into the implication of IRGs in NK-AML that may lead to the development of novel immunotherapy approaches for this disease.

Project description:BackgroundChemotactic cytokines play a crucial role in the development of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Thus, investigating the mechanisms of chemotactic cytokine-related genes (CCRGs) in AML is of paramount importance.MethodsUsing the TCGA-AML, GSE114868, and GSE12417 datasets, differential expression analysis identified differentially expressed CCRGs (DE-CCRGs). These genes were screened by overlapping differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between AML and control groups with CCRGs. Subsequently, functional enrichment analysis and the construction of a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network were conducted to explore the functions of the DE-CCRGs. Univariate Cox regression, least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO), and multivariate Cox regression analyses identified relevant prognostic genes and developed a prognostic model. Survival analysis of the prognostic gene was performed, followed by functional similarity analysis, immune analysis, enrichment analysis, and drug prediction analysis.ResultsDifferential expression analysis revealed 6,743 DEGs, of which 29 DE-CCRGs were selected for this study. Functional enrichment analysis indicated that DE-CCRGs were primarily involved in chemotactic cytokine-related functions and pathways. Six prognostic genes (CXCR3, CXCR2, CXCR6, CCL20, CCL4, and CCR2) were identified and incorporated into the risk model. The model's performance was validated using the GSE12417 dataset. Survival analysis showed significant differences in AML overall survival (OS) between prognostic gene high and low expression groups, indicating that prognostic gene might be significantly associated with patient survival. Additionally, nine different immune cells were identified between the two risk groups. Correlation analysis revealed that CCR2 had the most significant positive correlation with monocytes and the most significant negative correlation with resting mast cells. The tumor immune dysfunction and exclusion score was lower in the high-risk group.ConclusionCXCR3, CXCR2, CXCR6, CCL20, CCL4, and CCR2 were identified as prognostic genes correlated to AML and the tumor immune microenvironment. These findings offerred novel insights into the prevention and treatment of AML.

Project description:BackgroundCytogenetic analysis continues to have an important role in the management of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) because it is essential for prognostication. It is also necessary to diagnose specific categories of AML and to determine the most effective form of treatment. Reports from South Asia are few because the availability of cytogenetic services is relatively limited.MethodsWe performed a retrospective analysis of the cytogenetic findings in adults with AML seen consecutively in a single centre in India. The results were categorised according to the 2022 World Health Organisation (WHO), International Consensus Classification (ICC) and European LeukemiaNet (ELN) classifications.ResultsThere were 1791 patients aged 18-85 years (median age 42, 1086 males). Normal karyotypes were seen in 646 (36%) patients. The 1145 (64%) abnormal karyotypes comprised 585 (32.7%) with recurrent genetic abnormalities (RGA), 403 (22.5%) with myelodysplasia-related cytogenetic abnormalities (MRC), and 157 (8.8%) with other abnormalities. There were 567 (31.7%) patients with solitary abnormalities and 299 (16.7%) with two abnormalities. Among the 279 (15.6%) patients with ≥ 3 abnormalities, 200 (11.2%) had complex karyotypes (CK) as per the WHO/ICC and 184 (10.3%), as per the ELN definition. There were 158 (8.8%) monosomal karyotypes (MK). Patients with normal karyotypes had a higher median age (45 years) than those with abnormal karyotypes (40 years, p < 0.001), and those with ≥ 3 abnormalities (43 years), than those with fewer abnormalities (39 years, p = 0.005). Patients with CK (WHO/ICC) and monosomal karyotypes had a median age of 48 years. Those with RGA had a lower median age (35 years, p < 0.001) than MRC (46 years) or other abnormalities (44 years). The t(15;17) was the most common abnormality (16.7%),followed by trisomy 8 (11.6%), monosomy 7/del 7q (9.3%), t(8;21) (7.2%), monosomy 5/del 5q (6.7%) and monosomy 17/del 17p (5.2%).ConclusionOur findings confirm the lower age profile of AML in India and show similarities and differences with respect to the frequencies of individual abnormalities compared to the literature. The frequencies of the t(15;17), trisomy 8 and the high-risk abnormalities monosomy 7 and monosomy 5/del 5q were higher, and that of the inv(16), lower than in most reports.
