Distinct clinical and biological characteristics of acute myeloid leukemia with higher expression of long noncoding RNA KIAA0125.

ABSTRACT: Expression of long non-coding RNA KIAA0125 has been incorporated in various gene expression signatures for prognostic prediction in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients, yet its functions and clinical significance remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate the clinical and biological characteristics of AML bearing different levels of KIAA0125. We profiled KIAA0125 expression levels in bone marrow cells from 347 de novo AML patients and found higher KIAA0125 expression was closely associated with RUNX1 mutation, but inversely correlated with t(8;21) and t(15;17) karyotypes. Among the 227 patients who received standard chemotherapy, those with higher KIAA0125 expression had a lower complete remission rate, shorter overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) than those with lower expression. The prognostic significance was validated in both TCGA and GSE12417 cohorts. Subgroup analyses showed that higher KIAA0125 expression also predicted shorter DFS and OS in patients with normal karyotype or non-M3 AML. In multivariable analysis, higher KIAA0125 expression remained an adverse risk factor independent of age, WBC counts, karyotypes, and mutation patterns. Bioinformatics analyses revealed that higher KIAA0125 expression was associated with hematopoietic and leukemic stem cell signatures and ATP-binding cassette transporters, two predisposing factors for chemoresistance.

Project description:PurposeOptimized strategies for risk classification are essential to tailor therapy for patients with biologically distinctive disease. Risk classification in pediatric acute myeloid leukemia (pAML) relies on detection of translocations and gene mutations. Long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) transcripts have been shown to associate with and mediate malignant phenotypes in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) but have not been comprehensively evaluated in pAML.MethodsTo identify lncRNA transcripts associated with outcomes, we evaluated the annotated lncRNA landscape by transcript sequencing of 1,298 pediatric and 96 adult AML specimens. Upregulated lncRNAs identified in the pAML training set were used to establish a regularized Cox regression model of event-free survival (EFS), yielding a 37 lncRNA signature (lncScore). Discretized lncScores were correlated with initial and postinduction treatment outcomes using Cox proportional hazards models in validation sets. Predictive model performance was compared with standard stratification methods by concordance analysis.ResultsTraining set cases with positive lncScores had 5-year EFS and overall survival rates of 26.7% and 42.7%, respectively, compared with 56.9% and 76.3% with negative lncScores (hazard ratio, 2.48 and 3.16; P < .001). Pediatric validation cohorts and an adult AML group yielded comparable results in magnitude and significance. lncScore remained independently prognostic in multivariable models, including key factors used in preinduction and postinduction risk stratification. Subgroup analysis suggested that lncScores provide additional outcome information in heterogeneous subgroups currently classified as indeterminate risk. Concordance analysis showed that lncScore adds to overall classification accuracy with at least comparable predictive performance to current stratification methods that rely on multiple assays.ConclusionInclusion of the lncScore enhances predictive power of traditional cytogenetic and mutation-defined stratification in pAML with potential, as a single assay, to replace these complex stratification schemes with comparable predictive accuracy.
