Toward Pediatric T Lymphoblastic Lymphoma Stratification Based on Minimal Disseminated Disease and NOTCH1/FBXW7 Status.

ABSTRACT: While outcome for pediatric T lymphoblastic lymphoma (T-LL) has improved with acute leukemia-type therapy, survival after relapse remains rare. Few prognostic markers have been identified: NOTCH1 and/or FBXW7 (N/F) mutations identify good prognosis T-LL and high-level minimal disseminated disease (MDD) is reported to be of poor prognosis. We evaluated MDD and/or MRD status by 8-color flow cytometry and/or digital droplet PCR in 82 pediatric T-LL treated according to the EURO-LB02 prednisone reference arm. Both techniques gave identical results for values ≥0.1%, allowing compilation. Unlike historical studies, an MDD threshold of 1% had no prognostic significance. The 54% (42/78) of patients with MDD ≥0.1% had a relatively favorable outcome (5-y overall survival [OS] 97.6% versus 80.6%, P = 0.015, 5-y event-free-survival [EFS] 95.2% versus 80.6%, P = 0.049). MDD lower than 0.1% had no impact in N/F mutated T-LL, but identified the N/F germline patient with a high risk of relapse. Combining oncogenetic and MDD status identified 86% of patients (n = 49) with an excellent outcome and 14% of N/F germline/MDD <0.1% patients (n = 8) with poor prognosis (5y-OS 95.9% versus 37.5%, P < 0.001; 5y-EFS 93.9% versus 37.5%, P < 0.001). If confirmed by prospective studies, MDD and N/F mutational status would allow identification of a subset of patients who merit consideration for alternative front-line treatment.

Prognostic Role of Minimal Disseminated Disease and <i>NOTCH1/FBXW7</i> Mutational Status in Children with Lymphoblastic Lymphoma: The AIEOP Experience.

Project description:NOTCH1/FBXW7 (N/F) mutational status at diagnosis is employed for T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma (T-LBL) patients' stratification in the international protocol LBL 2018. Our aim was to validate the prognostic role of Minimal Disseminated Disease (MDD) alone and in combination with N/F mutational status in a large retrospective series of LBL pediatric patients. MDD was analyzed in 132 bone marrow and/or peripheral blood samples by flow cytometry. Mutations in N/F genes were analyzed on 58 T-LBL tumor biopsies. Using the previously established cut-off of 3%, the four-year progression-free survival (PFS) was 57% for stage I-III patients with MDD ≥ 3% versus 80% for patients with MDD inferior to cut-off (p = 0.068). We found a significant worsening in the four-year PFS for nonmutated (51 ± 12%) compared to mutated patients (100%, p = 0.0013). Combining MDD and N/F mutational status in a subgroup of available cases, we found a statistically significant difference in the four-year PFS for different risk groups (p = 0.0012). Overall, our results demonstrate that N/F mutational status has a more relevant prognostic value than MDD at diagnosis. However, the combination of N/F mutations with MDD analysis could identify patients with very aggressive disease, which might benefit from a more intensive treatment.

Minimal disseminated disease in childhood T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma: a report from the children's oncology group.

Project description:PURPOSE Disease dissemination to the bone marrow is detected at diagnosis in approximately 15% of children with T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma (T-LL). It is unclear whether the remaining patients have submicroscopic systemic disease and, if so, what is the clinical significance of this finding. PATIENTS AND METHODS Using a flow cytometric method that can detect one T-LL cell among 10,000 normal cells, we examined bone marrow and peripheral-blood samples collected from 99 children with T-LL at diagnosis, as well as blood samples collected from 42 patients during treatment. Results In 71 (71.7%) of the 99 marrow samples obtained at diagnosis, T-LL cells represented 0.01% to 31.6% (median, 0.22%) of mononuclear cells; 57 of the 71 T-LL-positive samples were from patients with stage II/III disease. Results of studies in bilateral marrow aspirates were highly concordant. Two-year event-free survival (EFS) was 68.1% +/- 11.1% (SE) for patients with > or = 1% T-LL cells in bone marrow versus 90.7% +/- 4.4% for those with lower levels of marrow involvement (P = .031); EFS for patients with > or = 5% lymphoblasts was 51.9% +/- 18.0% (P = .009). T-LL cells were as prevalent in blood as in marrow; monitoring residual T-LL cells in blood during remission induction therapy identified patients with slower disease clearance. CONCLUSION More than two thirds of children with T-LL have disseminated disease at diagnosis, a proportion much higher than previously demonstrated. Measurements of disease dissemination at diagnosis might provide useful prognostic information, which can be further refined by monitoring response to therapy through blood testing.

DNA methylation adds prognostic value to minimal residual disease status in pediatric T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia

Project description:Background: Despite increased knowledge about genetic aberrations in pediatric T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL), no clinically feasible treatment-stratifying marker exists at diagnosis. Instead patients are enrolled in intensive induction therapies with substantial side effects. In modern protocols, therapy response is monitored by minimal residual disease (MRD) analysis, and used for post-induction risk group stratification. DNA methylation profiling is a candidate for subtype discrimination at diagnosis and we investigated its role as a prognostic marker in pediatric T-ALL. Procedure: Sixty-five diagnostic T-ALL samples from Nordic pediatric patients treated according to the NOPHO-ALL2008 protocol were analyzed by HumMeth450K genome wide DNA methylation arrays. Methylation status was analyzed in relation to clinical data and early T-cell precursor (ETP) phenotype. Results: Two distinct CpG Island Methylator Phenotype (CIMP) groups were identified. Patients with a CIMP negative profile had an inferior response to treatment compared to CIMP positive patients (3-year cumulative incidence of relapse (CIR3y) rate: 29% vs. 6%, p=0.01). Most importantly, CIMP classification at diagnosis allowed subgrouping of high risk T-ALL patients (MRD ≥0.1% at day 29) into two groups with significant differences in outcome (CIR3y rates: CIMP negative 50% vs CIMP positive 12%; p=0.02). These groups did not differ regarding ETP-phenotype, but the CIMP negative group was younger (p=0.02) and had higher white blood cell count at diagnosis (p=0.004) compared with the CIMP positive group. Conclusions: CIMP classification at diagnosis in combination with MRD during induction therapy is a strong candidate for further risk classification and could confer important information in treatment decision-making.

Meta-analysis of the clinical characteristics and prognostic relevance of NOTCH1 and FBXW7 mutation in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Project description:The NOTCH1 signaling pathway is crucial for T-cell development, and NOTCH1 and/or FBXW7 mutations are frequently detected in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL). We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of 18 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to assess the prognostic impact of mutations in the NOTCH1 pathway. After retrieving relevant articles from PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library, we investigated overall survival (OS) and event-free survival (EFS) with hazard ratios (HRs) using fixed-effects or random-effects models and conducted subgroup analyses based on population and mutation status. NOTCH1/FBXW7 mutations correlated significantly with better prognosis (5-year EFS: HR, 0.57; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.46 to 0.68; P < 0.001 and 5-year OS: HR, 0.61; 95% CI, 0.51 to 0.74; P < 0.001). The HR for 5-year EFS and OS with NOTCH1 mutations were 0.63 (95% CI, 0.53 to 0.75) and 0.76 (95% CI, 0.60 to 0.95), respectively; with FBXW7 mutations, they were 0.82 (95% CI, 0.60 to 1.11) and 0.79 (95% CI, 0.55 to 1.12), respectively. However, differences between children and adults showed no significance. We conclude that the presence of NOTCH1/FBXW7 mutations is an independent prognostic factor for 5-year EFS and 5-year OS.

Absolute lymphocyte counts refine minimal residual disease-based risk stratification in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Project description:Several studies have demonstrated the prognostic utility of absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) during therapy for a range of malignancies, with low ALC associated with adverse outcome. Here we investigated whether ALC retained independent prognostic significance with respect to minimal residual disease (MRD) status in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).We reviewed 171 cases of pediatric ALL treated on the Children's Oncology Group P9900 series of treatment trials. Variables analyzed included ALC at several time points during Induction, age at diagnosis, cytogenetics, initial white blood cell count, and MRD status at Day 29 of Induction (MRD-29).We found high ALC at Induction Day 29 (ALC-29) to be an independent, clinically significant predictor of improved relapse-free and overall survival (OS). Patients with ALC-29 >1,500 cells/µl had a superior 6-year relapse-free survival (80 ± 4% vs. 62 ± 8%, P = 0.018) and overall survival (96 ± 2% vs. 74 ± 8%, P = 0.001). Moreover, ALC-29 identified distinct prognostic subgroups within cases stratified by MRD-29. In subjects with >0.01% MRD, ALC-29 > or <1,500 cells/µl had a significant 51% difference in 6-year OS (92 ± 7% vs. 41 ± 16%, P = 0.0001).ALC, a readily obtainable test, constitutes a significant and independent prognostic factor in childhood ALL that may refine current MRD-based risk stratification algorithms and provide key prognostic information in settings where MRD determination is not feasible.

NOTCH1 pathway activating mutations and clonal evolution in pediatric T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Project description:Molecular mechanisms involved in the relapse of T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) are not fully understood, although activating NOTCH1 signaling due to NOTCH1/FBXW7 alterations is a major oncogenic driver. To unravel the relevance of NOTCH1/FBXW7 mutations associated with relapse, we performed whole-exome sequencing in 30 pediatric T-ALL cases, among which 11 diagnosis-relapse paired cases were further investigated to track the clonal evolution of relapse using amplicon-based deep sequencing. NOTCH1/FBXW7 alterations were detected in 73.3% (diagnosis) and 72.7% (relapse) of cases. Single nucleotide variations in the heterodimerization domain were the most frequent (40.0%) at diagnosis, whereas proline, glutamic acid, serine, threonine-rich (PEST) domain alterations were the most frequent at relapse (54.5%). Comparison between non-relapsed and relapsed cases at diagnosis showed a predominance of PEST alterations in relapsed cases (P = .045), although we failed to validate this in the TARGET cohort. Based on the clonal analysis of diagnosis-relapse samples, we identified NOTCH1 "switching" characterized by different NOTCH1 mutations in a major clone between diagnosis and relapse samples in 2 out of 11 diagnosis-relapse paired cases analyzed. We found another NOTCH1 "switching" case in a previously reported Berlin-Frankfurt-Münster cohort (n = 13), indicating NOTCH1 importance in both the development and progression of T-ALL. Despite the limitations of having a small sample size and a non-minimal residual disease-based protocol, our results suggest that the presence of NOTCH1 mutations might contribute to the disease relapse of T-ALL.

LncRNA NALT interaction with NOTCH1 promoted cell proliferation in pediatric T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Project description:Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) was referred to be participating in various malignant tumors. Location based analysis of the mechanism in lncRNA and genes have been highly focused. In this study, we reported that lncRNA named NALT which was located near NOTCH1 within 100?bp away. We confirmed that up-regulation of NALT associating with NOTCH1 in human samples. Increased expression of NALT dramatically promoted cell proliferation in cell lines via CCK8 assay and EDU stain. Further xenograft tumor also indicated the growth inducing affection of NALT while could be partial reversed by GSI. Besides, through sorting the side-population cells in T ALL cells treated with NALT shRNA could decrease percentage of SP cell which companied by the down-regulation of NOTCH1. Gal4-?N/BoxB reporter system revealed that the nuclear located NALT could function as a transcription activator which caused an activation of NOTCH signal pathway as confirmed by western blot. Taken together, we found a neighbor of NOTCH1, Lnc-RP11-611D20.2 (named NALT) which could regulate the NOTCH1 signal pathway through cis-regulation. This founding may trigger a comparable development of diagnosis or novel molecularly-directed therapies.

c-Myc is an important direct target of Notch1 in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma.

Project description:Human acute T-cell lymphoblastic leukemias and lymphomas (T-ALL) are commonly associated with gain-of-function mutations in Notch1 that contribute to T-ALL induction and maintenance. Starting from an expression-profiling screen, we identified c-myc as a direct target of Notch1 in Notch-dependent T-ALL cell lines, in which Notch accounts for the majority of c-myc expression. In functional assays, inhibitors of c-myc interfere with the progrowth effects of activated Notch1, and enforced expression of c-myc rescues multiple Notch1-dependent T-ALL cell lines from Notch withdrawal. The existence of a Notch1-c-myc signaling axis was bolstered further by experiments using c-myc-dependent murine T-ALL cells, which are rescued from withdrawal of c-myc by retroviral transduction of activated Notch1. This Notch1-mediated rescue is associated with the up-regulation of endogenous murine c-myc and its downstream transcriptional targets, and the acquisition of sensitivity to Notch pathway inhibitors. Additionally, we show that primary murine thymocytes at the DN3 stage of development depend on ligand-induced Notch signaling to maintain c-myc expression. Together, these data implicate c-myc as a developmentally regulated direct downstream target of Notch1 that contributes to the growth of T-ALL cells.
