Clinically Relevant Oxygraphic Assay to Assess Mitochondrial Energy Metabolism in Acute Myeloid Leukemia Patients.

ABSTRACT: Resistant acute myeloid leukemia (AML) exhibits mitochondrial energy metabolism changes compared to newly diagnosed AML. This phenotype is often observed by evaluating the mitochondrial oxygen consumption of blasts, but most of the oximetry protocols were established from leukemia cell lines without validation on primary leukemia cells. Moreover, the cultures and storage conditions of blasts freshly extracted from patient blood or bone marrow cause stress, which must be evaluated before determining oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS). Herein, we evaluated different conditions to measure the oxygen consumption of blasts using extracellular flow analyzers. We first determined the minimum number of blasts required to measure OXPHOS. Next, we compared the OXPHOS of blasts cultured for 3 h and 18 h after collection and found that to maintain metabolic organization for 18 h, cytokine supplementation is necessary. Cytokines are also needed when measuring OXPHOS in cryopreserved, thawed and recultured blasts. Next, the concentrations of respiratory chain inhibitors and uncoupler FCCP were established. We found that the FCCP concentration required to reach the maximal respiration of blasts varied depending on the patient sample analyzed. These protocols provided can be used in future clinical studies to evaluate OXPHOS as a biomarker and assess the efficacy of treatments targeting mitochondria.

Project description:BackgroundAcute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a common hematologic malignancy characterized by poor prognoses and high recurrence rates. Mitochondrial metabolism has been increasingly recognized to be crucial in tumor progression and treatment resistance. The purpose of this study was to examined the role of mitochondrial metabolism in the immune regulation and prognosis of AML.MethodsIn this study, mutation status of 31 mitochondrial metabolism-related genes (MMRGs) in AML were analyzed. Based on the expression of 31 MMRGs, mitochondrial metabolism scores (MMs) were calculated by single sample gene set enrichment analysis. Differential analysis and weighted co-expression network analysis were performed to identify module MMRGs. Next, univariate Cox regression and the least absolute and selection operator regression were used to select prognosis-associated MMRGs. A prognosis model was then constructed using multivariate Cox regression to calculate risk score. We validated the expression of key MMRGs in clinical specimens using immunohistochemistry (IHC). Then differential analysis was performed to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between high- and low-risk groups. Functional enrichment, interaction networks, drug sensitivity, immune microenvironment, and immunotherapy analyses were also performed to explore the characteristic of DEGs.ResultsGiven the association of MMs with prognosis of AML patients, a prognosis model was constructed based on 5 MMRGs, which could accurately distinguish high-risk patients from low-risk patients in both training and validation datasets. IHC results showed that MMRGs were highly expressed in AML samples compared to normal samples. Additionally, the 38 DEGs were mainly related to mitochondrial metabolism, immune signaling, and multiple drug resistance pathways. In addition, high-risk patients with more immune-cell infiltration had higher Tumor Immune Dysfunction and Exclusion scores, indicating poor immunotherapy response. mRNA-drug interactions and drug sensitivity analyses were performed to explore potential druggable hub genes. Furthermore, we combined risk score with age and gender to construct a prognosis model, which could predict the prognosis of AML patients.ConclusionOur study provided a prognostic predictor for AML patients and revealed that mitochondrial metabolism is associated with immune regulation and drug resistant in AML, providing vital clues for immunotherapies.
