DNAM-1/CD226 is functionally expressed on acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells and is associated with favorable prognosis.

ABSTRACT: DNAM-1 is reportedly expressed on cytotoxic T and NK cells and, upon interaction with its ligands CD112 and CD155, plays an important role in tumor immunosurveillance. It has also been reported to be functionally expressed by myeloid cells, but expression and function on malignant cells of the myeloid lineage have not been studied so far. Here we analyzed expression of DNAM-1 in leukemic cells of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients. We found substantial levels of DNAM-1 to be expressed on leukemic blasts in 48 of 62 (> 75%) patients. Interaction of DNAM-1 with its ligands CD112 and CD155 induced release of the immunomodulatory cytokines IL-6, IL-8 IL-10 and TNF-α by AML cells and DNAM-1 expression correlated with a more differentiated phenotype. Multivariate analysis did not show any association of DNAM-1 positivity with established risk factors, but expression was significantly associated with clinical disease course: patients with high DNAM-1 surface levels had significantly longer progression-free and overall survival compared to DNAM-1^low patients, independently whether patients had undergone allogenic stem cell transplantation or not. Together, our findings unravel a functional role of DNAM-1 in AML pathophysiology and identify DNAM-1 as a potential novel prognostic maker in AML.

Low expression of ACLY associates with favorable prognosis in acute myeloid leukemia.

Project description:BackgroundAberrant metabolism is a hallmark of cancer cells. Recently, ATP citrate-lyase (ACLY) expression was demonstrated as an independent predictor of clinical outcome in solid tumors. However, no systematic study was conducted to explore the prognostic impact of ACLY on acute myeloid leukemia (AML).MethodsTo assess the prognostic value of ACLY transcript, we conducted a study with a discovery and validation design. We measured ACLY transcript by real-time quantitative PCR in 274 AML patients, and validated the prognostic value in the two independent cohorts using published data. Meta-analysis of gene-expression profile and inhibition ACLY expression in leukemia cell lines were conducted to help us understand the biological insight of low ACLY expression.ResultsLow ACLY expression is less common amongst AMLs with DNMT3A mutations, but coexisted in double allele CEBPA mutations. Moreover, low ACLY expression is associated with favorable overall survival in AML patients and is involved in multiple pathways. These results are also validated in two independent cohorts of AML patients. Moreover, ACLY silencing induces proliferation arrest in THP-1 and MOLM-13 leukemia cell lines.ConclusionWe found low ACLY expression is associated with favorable overall survival in AML patients.

New agents in acute myeloid leukemia (AML).

Project description:Despite expanding knowledge in the molecular landscape of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and an increasing understanding of leukemogenic pathways, little has changed in the treatment of AML in the last 40 years. Since introduction in the 1970s, combination chemotherapy consisting of anthracycline and cytarabine has been the mainstay of treatment, with major therapeutic advances based on improving supportive care rather than the introduction of novel therapeutics. Over the last decades, there have been extensive efforts to identify specific target mutations or pathways with the aim of improving clinical outcomes. Finally, after a prolonged wait, we are witnessing the next wave of AML treatment, characterized by a more "precise" and "personalized" understanding of the unique molecular or genetic mapping of individual patients. This new trend has since been further facilitated, with four new FDA approvals granted in 2017 in AML therapeutics. Currently, a total of eight targeted agents have been approved since 2017 (as of Jan. 2020). In this review, we will briefly discuss these newer agents in the context of their indication and the basis of their approval.

SALL4, a novel oncogene, is constitutively expressed in human acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and induces AML in transgenic mice.

Project description:SALL4, a human homolog to Drosophila spalt, is a novel zinc finger transcriptional factor essential for development. We cloned SALL4 and its isoforms (SALL4A and SALL4B). Through immunohistochemistry and real-time reverse-transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), we demonstrated that SALL4 was constitutively expressed in human primary acute myeloid leukemia (AML, n = 81), and directly tested the leukemogenic potential of constitutive expression of SALL4 in a murine model. SALL4B transgenic mice developed myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS)-like features and subsequently AML that was transplantable. Increased apoptosis associated with dysmyelopoiesis was evident in transgenic mouse marrow and colony-formation (CFU) assays. Both isoforms could bind to beta-catenin and synergistically enhanced the Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway. Our data suggest that the constitutive expression of SALL4 causes MDS/AML, most likely through the Wnt/beta-catenin pathway. Our murine model provides a useful platform to study human MDS/AML transformation, as well as the Wnt/beta-catenin pathway's role in the pathogenesis of leukemia stem cells.

Treated secondary acute myeloid leukemia: a distinct high-risk subset of AML with adverse prognosis.

Project description:Secondary acute myeloid leukemia (s-AML) includes therapy-related AML and AML evolving from antecedent hematological disorder (AHD). s-AML arising after treating AHD likely represents a prognostically distinct, high-risk disease category. In this study, treated s-AML (ts-AML) was defined by: (1) prior diagnosis of myelodysplasia, myeloproliferative neoplasm, or aplastic anemia and (2) at least 1 therapy for that diagnosis. ts-AML was categorized by age (< or ≥60 years), and each cohort assessed for response rates and overall survival (OS) on various treatment regimens. Survival outcomes were compared against other high-risk prognostic subsets. Results showed that complete response and 8-week mortality rates were 32% and 27% in the younger, and 24% and 19% in the older age groups, respectively. There was a significant OS difference within s-AML based on prior treatment of AHD (ie, ts-AML vs s-AML with untreated AHD, 4.2 vs 9.2 months; P < .001). Survival in ts-AML was poor across both cohorts (younger and older, 5 and 4.7 months, respectively). In younger AML, survival was significantly inferior in ts-AML when compared with deletion 5/7, TP53, 3q abnormality, and therapy-related AML groups (median, 5 vs 7.9, 7.8, 7.9, and 11.2 months, respectively; P < .01). Additional adverse karyotype within ts-AML was associated with even worse outcomes (OS range, 1.6-2.8 months). ts-AML represents a very high-risk category, even in younger AML patients. s-AML should be further classified to describe ts-AML, an entity less responsive to currently applied treatment approaches. Future AML trial designs should accommodate ts-AML as a distinct subgroup.

Management of Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) in Older Patients.

Project description:Purpose of reviewThe acute myeloid leukemia (AML) treatment landscape has rapidly evolved over the past few years. These changes have several implications for the care of older adults (≥ 60 years), who have inferior clinical outcomes. We review decision-making in older adults, focusing on patient- and disease-related factors. We then summarize current treatment options, including multiple recently approved therapies, based on hypothetical clinical scenarios.Recent findingsIn lieu of using chronological age to determine fitness, we highlight the importance of standardized fitness assessments using geriatric assessments. Next, we review intensive and lower-intensity treatment options in the upfront setting. We focus on multiple newly approved medications, including venetoclax, midostaurin, CPX-351, gemtuzumab, glasdegib, enasidenib, and ivosidenib, and their specific indications. Lastly, we briefly discuss supportive care of older adults with AML. Outcomes of older adults with AML remain poor; fortunately, there are many new promising treatment options. Personalized treatment plans based on patient- and disease-specific factors are essential to the care of older adults with AML.

Disparities in pediatric acute myeloid leukemia (AML) clinical trial enrollment.

Project description:Equal access to clinical trial enrollment is important to ensure that findings are generalizable to the broader population. This study aimed to evaluate disparities in enrollment on pediatric oncology clinical trials. We assessed the relationship between patient characteristics and enrollment on COG trial AAML1031 in a cohort of pediatric patients with AML in the Pediatric Health Information System. The associations of enrollment with outcomes were evaluated. Non-Hispanic Black patients, infants, and patients from zip codes with a lower proportion of poverty were less likely to enroll (30% vs. 61%, p = .004; 34% vs. 58%, p = .003; 46% vs. 58%, p = .02). On-therapy mortality was similar among enrolled and nonenrolled patients (7.3% vs. 8.9%, p = .47). Differences in early mortality were more pronounced among nonenrolled patients compared to enrolled patients (3.0% vs. 0.5%, p = .03). Understanding the etiology of these disparities will inform strategies to ensure balanced access to clinical trials across patient populations.

TET2 mutations contribute to adverse prognosis in acute myeloid leukemia (AML): results from a comprehensive analysis of 502 AML cases and the Beat AML public database.

Project description:Despite the high incidence of tet methylcytosine dioxygenase 2 (TET2) mutations in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), the prognostic implications of these mutations in three AML risk groups based on the 2022 ELN AML risk classification are still unclear. A total of 502 consecutive de novo AML patients who had next-generation sequencing data available between March 2011 and July 2021 at the Peking University Institute of Hematology were enrolled in this study. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were performed to explore the prognostic impact of TET2 mutations in the above cohort and the Beat AML cohort. Of the 502 total AML patients, 76 (15.1%) carried TET2 mutations. Multivariate analysis revealed TET2 mutations as independent risk factor for overall survival (OS) in both the total AML cohort (OR = 1.649, p = 0.009) and in the 2022 ELN intermediate-risk cohort (HR = 1.967, p = 0.05). Analysis of RNA-seq data from the Beat AML study revealed 1042 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between the TET2-mutant and TET2 wild-type groups. The results of enrichment analysis indicated the DEGs to be notably enriched in categories related to the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway. Collectively, our findings indicate that mutations in TET2 are prognostically disadvantageous in AML patients. Assessment of TET2 mutational status contributes to the stratification of intermediate-risk AML patients. Multiple genes and pathways of potential therapeutic relevance may be differentially modulated by TET2 mutations in AML.
