RNA-sequencing data from 195 B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemias and mate pair whole genome sequencing data from 15 B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemias

ABSTRACT: Fusion genes are potent driver mutations in cancer. In this study, we delineate the fusion gene landscape in a consecutive series of 195 pediatric B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCP ALL). Using RNA-sequencing, we find in-frame fusion genes in 127 (65%) cases, including 27 novel fusions. We describe a new subtype characterized by recurrent IGH-DUX4 or ERG-DUX4 fusions, representing 4% of cases, leading to overexpression of DUX4 and frequently co-occurring with intragenic ERG deletions. Furthermore, we identify a subtype characterized by an ETV6-RUNX1-like gene expression profile and coexisting ETV6 and IKZF1 alterations. Taken together, this study provides a detailed overview of fusion genes in pediatric BCP ALL and adds new pathogenetic insights, which may improve risk stratification and provide novel therapeutic options in this disease.

Specific expression of microRNAs and snoRNAs characterize ERG-related B cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia [microRNA]

Project description:ERG-related B cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCP ALL) is a recently described childhood ALL subtype characterized by aberrant ERG protein expression and highly recurrent ERG intragenic deletions. Several studies reported a remarkably favourable outcome for ERG-related BCP-ALL despite a high incidence of apparently inauspicious IKZF1 aberrations. In this study we investigated by integrative genomic analysis the main features of the ERG-related group in a cohort of B-others BCP ALL patients enrolled in the AIEOP ALL 2000 therapeutic protocol. We report a specific microRNA and snoRNA signature that characterizes ERG-related patients with up-regulation of the miR-125b-2 cluster on chromosome 21 and several snoRNAs in the Prader-Willi locus at 15q11.2, including the orphan SNORD116 cluster. Given the current lack of parameters for a comprehensive classification we suggest toexploit the noncoding RNAs signature for differential diagnosis of ERG-related patients.

Expression data from B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia

Project description:B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCP-ALL) is a heterogeneous disease that can be subdivided according to primary recurrent genetic abnormalities that are strongly associated with characteristic biological and clinical features. The detection of these abnormalities can facilitate diagnosis, risk stratification, and targeted therapy. We identified an unexpectedly high incidence of fusion genes involving ZNF384 genes, including TCF3-ZNF384, EP300-ZNF384, and CREBBP-ZNF384, in BCP-ALL of our cohort. We therefore used microarrays to evaluate the gene-expression characteristics of BCP-ALL harboring ZNF384-related fusion genes and compared with those of BCP-ALL with other types of conventional genetic abnormality.

Lnc-RNA expression pattern in ETV6/RUNX1-driven b-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCP-ALL)

Project description:Overwhelming evidence indicates that long non-coding RNAs have essential roles in tumorigenesis. Nevertheless, their expression and role in pediatric B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia has not been extensively explored. Here, we conducted a comprehensive analysis of the long non-coding RNA transcriptome in ETV6/RUNX1 positive BCP-ALL, one of the most frequent subtypes of pediatric leukemia. An ETV6/RUNX1 expression signature was established, consisting of 596 lncRNAs (434 up and 162 down) using expression analysis of a series of primary patient samples. Subsequently, RNA sequencing from BCP-ALL cell lines and shRNA-mediated silencing of ETV6/RUNX1, illustrated that lnc-NKX2-3-1, lnc-TIMM21-5, lnc-ASTN1-1 and lnc-RTN4R-1 are bona fide ETV6/RUNX1 targets and could serve as novel biomarkers of this prevalent subtype of human leukemia.

Epigenomic mapping in B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia identifies transcriptional regulators and noncoding variants promoting distinct chromatin architectures [Hi-C]

Project description:Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common malignancy in pediatric patients and represents about a quarter of all pediatric malignancies. Past work has characterized B-cell lineage ALL (B-ALL) into molecular subtypes spanning a range of aberrant chromosomal rearrangements and oncogene chimeric fusions driving malignancy. While transcriptional and DNA methylome profiling of these subtypes has been extensively examined, the accompanying chromatin landscape and corresponding gene regulatory repertoire are not well characterized for many B-ALL subtypes. To better profile the B-ALL epigenome and gene regulatory networks we examined chromatin accessibility of 10 distinct molecular subtypes (BCR-ABL1, DUX4/ERG, ETV6-RUNX1, Hyperdiploid, Low hypodiploid, KMT2A-rearranged, Ph-like, PAX5-altered, TCF3-PBX1, ZNF384-rearranged and B-other) using 156 primary patient samples from across the United States with assay for transposase-accessible chromatin and high-throughput sequencing (ATAC-seq). In complement to ATAC-seq a subset of cell line and patient samples were profiled using promoter capture Hi-C to better define gene regulatory network connections.

RNA seq of pediartic patients in oneset of early T-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia

Project description:Early T-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ETP-ALL) develops from very early cells with the potential for both T-cell and myeloid differentiation. The ambiguous nature of leukemic blasts in ETP-ALL may lead to immunophenotypic alterations at relapse. Here, we address immunophenotypic alterations and related classification issues, as well as genetic features of relapsed pediatric ETP-ALL. RNAseq was performed with the primary goal of crypric gene fusions search within subcohorts of relapsed and non-relapsed patients with sufficient material available. Overall, 3 relapsed and 8 non-relapsed patients were tested. As a relsult, 1 relasped and 3 non-relapsed patients were found to carry leukemia-specific fusions, of those 3 were confurmed by FISH (2 cases of ETV6 rearrangements and one PICALM::MLLT10-positive case) while only one cryptic rearrangement was caught in a non-relapsed patient (BCL11B cryptic rearrangement negative by FISH). Other 7 patients were not found to carry any leukemia-specisic fusions.

Integrated analysis of relapsed B-cell precursor Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia identifies subtype-specific cytokine and metabolic signatures

Project description:Recent efforts reclassified B-Cell Precursor Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (BCP-ALL) into more refined subtypes. Nevertheless, outcomes of relapsed BCP-ALL remain unsatisfactory, particularly in adult patients where the molecular basis of relapse is still poorly understood. To elucidate the evolution of relapse in BCP-ALL, we established a comprehensive multi-omics dataset including DNA-sequencing, RNA-sequencing, DNA methylation array and proteome MASS-spec data from matched diagnosis and relapse samples of BCP-ALL patients (n = 50) including the subtypes DUX4, Ph-like and two aneuploid subtypes. Relapse-specific alterations were enriched for chromatin modifiers, nucleotide and steroid metabolism including the novel candidates FPGS, AGBL and ZNF483. The proteome expression analysis unraveled deregulation of metabolic pathways at relapse including the key proteins G6PD, TKT, GPI and PGD. Moreover, we identified a novel relapse-specific gene signature specific for DUX4 BCP-ALL patients highlighting chemotaxis and cytokine environment as a possible driver event at relapse. This study presents novel insights at distinct molecular levels of relapsed BCP-ALL based on a comprehensive multi-omics integrated data set including a valuable proteomics data set. The relapse specific aberrations reveal metabolic signatures on genomic and proteomic levels in BCP-ALL relapse. Furthermore, the chemokine expression signature in DUX4 relapse underscores the distinct status of DUX4-fusion BCP-ALL.

Whole-transcriptome analysis in acute lymphoblastic leukemia: a report from the DFCI ALL Consortium Protocol 16-001

Project description:The molecular hallmark of ALL is characterized by recurrent, prognostic genetic alterations, many of which are cryptic by conventional cytogenetics. RNA-seq is a powerful next-generation sequencing technology with the ability to simultaneously identify cryptic gene rearrangements, sequence mutations and gene expression profiles in a single assay. We examined the feasibility and utility of incorporating RNA-seq into a prospective multi-center phase 3 clinical trial for children with newly-diagnosed ALL. Patients enrolled on the DFCI ALL Consortium Protocol 16-001 who consented to optional studies and had available material underwent RNA-seq. RNA-seq was performed in 173 patients with ALL. RNA-seq identified at least one alteration in 157 (91%) patients and fusion detection was 100% concordant with results obtained from conventional cytogenetic analyses. An additional 56 gene fusions were identified by RNA-seq, many of which confer prognostic or therapeutic significance. Gene expression profiling and fusion detection enabled further molecular classification into the following B-ALL subgroups: ETV6-RUNX1/ETV6-RUNX1-like (n=31), high hyperdiploid (n=34), TCF3-PBX1 (n=7), KMT2A-rearranged (n=5), Philadelphia (Ph) chromosome-positive/Ph-like (n=19), DUX4-rearranged (n=11), PAX5-altered (n=7), ZNF384-rearranged (n=4), MEF2D-rearranged (n=1) and NUTM1-rearranged (n=1). RNA-seq identified 141 nonsynonymous mutations in 93 (54%) patients; the most frequent were RAS-MAPK pathway mutations. Among 79 patients with both low-density array and RNA-seq data for the Ph-like gene signature prediction, results were concordant in 74 (94%) patients. In conclusion, RNA-seq is feasible in the context of a multicenter prospective clinical trial. We identified several clinically-relevant genetic alterations not detected by conventional methods, supporting the integration of this technology in frontline pediatric ALL trials.

Novel PAX5 fusion genes in childhood B-Cell Precursors Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

Project description:PAX5, a transcription factor essential for B-cell development, has been found as a frequent target of abnormalities in B-Cell Precursor Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (BCP-ALL) cases, showing point mutations, deletions, as well as translocations with several partner genes. We identified four novel PAX5 fusion partner genes by performing a screening on BCP-ALL cases with 9p rearrangements. Copy Number Variation analysis of translocated samples showed that few significant cooperative genetic lesions are present in addition to the translocation event, suggesting that it might have a primary role in leukemogenesis.

Deregulation of DUX4 and ERG in acute lymphoblastic leukemia

Project description:Chromosomal rearrangements deregulating hematopoietic transcription factors are common leukemia-initiating lesions in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Here, we show that deregulation of the homeobox transcription factor gene DUX4 and the ETS transcription factor gene ERG are hallmarks of a subtype of B-progenitor ALL with a distinct gene expression profile that comprises up to 7% of B-ALL. DUX4 rearrangement and overexpression is present in all cases, and is accompanied by profound transcriptional deregulation of ERG, frequent ERG deletion and expression of a truncated ERG isoform, ERGalt. ERGalt utilizes a non-canonical first exon that is bound by DUX4 and induces its expression....
