Project description:Relapse is the most common cause of treatment failure in pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and is often difficult to predict. To explore the prognostic impact of recurrent DNA copy number abnormalities on relapse, we performed high-resolution genomic profiling of 34 paired diagnosis-relapse ALL samples. Recurrent lesions detected at diagnosis, including PAX5, CDKN2A, and EBF1, were frequently absent at relapse, indicating that they represent secondary events that may be absent in the relapse-prone therapy-resistant progenitor cell. In contrast, deletions and nonsense mutations in IKZF1 (IKAROS), were highly enriched and consistently preserved at the time of relapse. A targeted copy number screen in an unselected cohort of 131 precursor B-ALL cases, enrolled in the dexamethasone-based Dutch Childhood Oncology Group treatment protocol ALL9, revealed that IKZF1 deletions are significantly associated with poor relapse-free and overall survival rates. Separate analysis of ALL9-treatment subgroups revealed that non-high-risk patients with IKZF1 deletions exhibited a ~12-fold higher relative relapse rate than those without IKZF1 deletions. Consequently, IKZF1 deletion status allowed the prospective identification of 53% of the relapse-prone non-high-risk-classified patients within this subgroup and, therefore, serves as one of the strongest predictors of relapse at the time of diagnosis with high potential for future risk stratification. Affymetrix NspI 250k array data of 34 paired diagnosis and relapse samples of pediatric ALL. From 13 patients a complete remission sample was available. Four cases had 2 relapses.

Project description:Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is a subtype of myeloid leukemia characterized by differentiation block at the promyelocyte stage. Besides the presence of chromosomal rearrangement t(15;17) leading to formation of PML-RARA fusion, other genetic alterations have also been implicated in APL. Here, we performed comprehensive mutational analysis of primary and relapse APL to identify somatic alterations which cooperate with PML-RARA in the pathogenesis of APL. We explored the mutational landscape using whole-exome (n=12) and subsequent targeted sequencing of 398 genes in 153 primary and 69 relapse APL. Both primary and relapse APL harbored an average of eight non-silent somatic mutations per exome. We observed recurrent alterations of FLT3, WT1, NRAS and KRAS in the newly diagnosed APL, while mutations in other genes commonly mutated in myeloid leukemia were rarely detected. The molecular signature of APL relapse was characterized by emergence of frequent mutations in PML and RARA genes. Our sequencing data also demonstrates incidence of loss-of-function mutations in previously unidentified genes, ARID1B and ARID1A, both of which encode for key components of the SWI/SNF complex. We show that knockdown of ARID1B in APL cell line, NB4, results in large scale activation of gene expression and reduced in vitro differentiation potential.

Project description:To identify cooperating lesions in core-binding-factor acute myeloid leukemia (CBF-AML), we performed single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-array analysis on 300 diagnostic and 41 relapse adult and pediatric leukemia samples. We identified a mean of 1.28 copy number alterations (CNAs) per case at diagnosis in both patient populations. Recurrent minimally deleted regions (MDRs) were identified at 7q36.1 (7.7%), 9q21.13 (5%), 11p13 (2.3%), and 17q11.2 (2%). Recurrent focal gains were identified at 8q24.21 (4.7%) and 11q25 (1.7%), both containing a single non-coding RNA. Recurrent regions of copy-neutral loss-of-heterozygosity were identified at 1p (1%), 4q (0.7%), and 19p (0.7%), with known mutated cancer genes present in the minimally altered region. Analysis of relapse samples identified recurrent MDRs at 3q13 (12.2%), 5q (4.9%), and 17p (4.9%). SNP genotyping was performed on 300 adult and pediatric CBF-AMLs; t(8;21), n=157 (adult, n=114; pediatric, n=43); and inv(16), n=143 (adult, n=104; pediatric, n=39). Germline control DNA from remission bone marrow or peripheral blood was available for paired analysis in 175 patients. In addition, for 41 patients, matched relapse samples were analyzed. Data were processed using reference alignment, dChipSNP and circular binary segmentation.

Project description:There is a distinct signature of differentially expressed probes from diagnosis to relapse Gene expression profiles of pediatric patients with B-precursor ALL were compared to at 2 time points, diagnosis and relapse. The overall design was a comparison of gene expression at diagnosis and relapse within individual patients. A subset analysis (comparing diagnosis to relapse expression within individuals), was done for early relapse (less than 36 months) cases only and late relapse (greater than 36 months) cases only.

Project description:Transcriptome Sequence Analysis of Pediatric Acute Megakaryoblastic Leukemia Identifies An Inv(16)(p13.3;q24.3)-Encoded CBFA2T3-GLIS2 Fusion Protein As a Recurrent Lesion in 39% of Non-Infant Cases: A Report From the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital – Washington University Pediatric Cancer Genome Project. Acute Megakaryoblastic Leukemia (AMKL) accounts for ~10% of childhood acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Although AMKL patients with down syndrome (DS-AMKL) have an excellent 5 year event-free survival (EFS), non-DS-AMKL patients have an extremely poor outcome with a 3 year EFS of less than 40%. With the exception of the t(1;22) translocation seen in infant non-DS-AMKL, little is known about the molecular genetic lesions that underlie this leukemia subtype. To define the landscape of mutations that occur in non-DS-AMKL, we performed transcriptome sequencing on diagnostic blasts from 14 cases (discovery cohort) using the illumina platform. Our results identified chromosomal rearrangements resulting in the expression of novel fusion transcripts in 12/14 cases. Remarkably, in 7/14 cases we detected an inversion on chromosome 16 [inv(16)(p13.3;q24.3)] that resulted in the juxtaposition of the CBFA2T3, a member of the ETO family of transcription factors, next to GLIS2 resulting in a CBFA2T3-GLIS2 chimeric gene encoding an in frame fusion protein. 6 cases in the discovery cohort fused exon 10 of CBFA2T3 to exon 3 of GLIS2, while 1 case carried a larger product that fused exon 11 of CBFA2T3 to exon 1 of GLIS2. Both products retain the 3 CBFA2T3 N-terminal nervy homology regions that mediate protein interactions, and the 5 GLIS2 C-terminal zinc finger domains that bind the Glis DNA consensus sequence, along with one of its N-terminal transcriptional regulatory domains. GLIS2 is a member of the GLI super family of transcription factors and has been demonstrated to play a role in regulating expression of GLI target genes as well as inhibiting WNT signaling through the binding of beta catenin. Although GLIS2 is not normally expressed in hematopoietic cells, the translocation results in high level expression of the CBFA2T3-GLIS2 fusion protein. In addition to CBFA2T3-GLIS2, chimeric transcripts were detected in 6/7 cases that lacked evidence of the inv(16)(p13.3;q24.3). Specifically, we detected GATA2-HOXA9, MN1-FLI1, NIPBL-HOXB9, NUP98-KDM5A, GRB10-SDK1 and C8orf76-HOXA11AS, each in an individual case. Importantly, several of the genes involved in these translocations either play a direct role in normal megakaryocytic differentiation (GATA2 and FLI1), or have been previously shown to be involved in leukemogenesis (HOXA9, MN1, HOXB9). Evaluation of a recurrency cohort of 42 samples including 14 additional pediatric cases and 28 adult cases by RT-PCR revealed 4 additional pediatric samples carrying CBFA2T3-GLIS2 for an overall frequency of 39% in pediatric AMKL. In addition to these somatic structural variations, we also identified mutations in genes previously shown to play a role in megakaryoblastic leukemia including activating mutations in JAK2 and MPL (36%). To gain insight into the mechanism whereby CBFA2T3-GLIS2 promotes leukemogenesis, we introduced the fusion into murine hematopoietic cells and assessed its effect on in vitro colony replating as a surrogate measure of self-renewal. Hematopoietic cells transduced with a mCherry expressing retroviral vector failed to form colonies after the second replating. By contrast, expression of either wild-type GLIS2 or the CBFA2T3-GLIS2 fusion resulted in a marked increase in the self-renewal capacity, with colony formation persisting through eight replatings. Immunophenotypic analysis of the CBFA2T3-GLIS2 expressing colonies revealed evidence of megakaryocytic differentiation. Importantly, the CBFA2T3-GLIS2 cells remained growth factor dependent suggesting that cooperating mutations in growth factor signaling pathways are required for full leukemic transformation. Taken together these data identify a novel cryptic inv(16)-encoded CBFA2T3-GLIS2 fusion protein as a recurrent driver mutation in approximately 40% of non-infant pediatric non-DS-AMKLs. Moreover, the majority of pediatric cases that lacked this lesion were shown by transcriptome sequence analysis to contain other chromosomal rearrangements that encoded fusion proteins that directly alter megakaryocytic differentiation and/or myeloid cell growth. The alteration of a key transcriptional regulator within the hedgehog signaling pathways in a substantial percentage of pediatric AMKL raises the possibility that inhibition of this pathway may have a therapeutic benefit in this aggressive form of AML. Gene expression profiling was performed on 14 single diagnosis tumor samples

Project description:Genomic profiling of relapsed pediatric AML demonstrated an increase in KMT2A and NUP98 rearrangements when compared to de novo pediatric AML, as well as an increase in WT1 mutations. Notably, we identified recurrent (9% of relapse cohort) exon 13 duplications in UBTF in pediatric AML cases that previously lacked known driver alterations. These UBTF-tandem duplication (TD) pediatric AMLs occur in approximately 4% of all pediatric AMLs and are less common in adult AMLs, are associated with normal karyotype or trisomy 8 cytogenetic abnormalities, co-occur with WT1 and FLT3-ITD, have an expression profile similar to NUP98-NSD1 and NPM1 mutant AMLs and are independently associated with poor outcome.
