The transcriptomic landscape of elderly acute myeloid lekiemia identifies B7H3 and BANP as a new favorable signature in high-risk patients

ABSTRACT: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in the elderly remains a clinical challenge, with a five-year overall survival less than 10%. The current ELN 2017 genetic risk classification considers cytogenetic and mutational characteristics to stratify fit AML patients into different prognostic groups. However, this classification is not validated for elderly patients treated with a non-intensive approach, and its performance seems to be suboptimal in this context. Indeed, the transcriptomic landscape of AML in the elderly has been less explored and it might help stratify this group of patients. In the current study, we analyzed the transcriptome of 224 AML patients > 65 years-old at diagnosis treated in the Spanish PETHEMA-FLUGAZA clinical trial and tried to define new prognostic groups in this population. We identified a specific transcriptomic signature for high-risk patients with mutated p53 or complex karyotype, revealing that low expression of B7H3 gene with high expression of BANP gene distinguish a subset of AML patients surviving more than 12 months. This specific signature highlights the potential of transcriptomics to identify biomarkers of good prognosis in elderly AML and recognizes these two genes as possible therapeutic targets in this malignancy.

Project description:Full Title: Multilineage Dysplasia (MLD) in AML correlates with MDS-related cytogenetic abnormalities and a prior history of MDS or MDS/MPN but has no independent prognostic relevance: A comparison of 408 cases classified as “AML not otherwise specified” or “AML with myelodysplasia-related changes” The WHO classification of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is hierarchically structured and integrates genetic information, data on patients’ history, and multilineage dysplasia (MLD). The category “AML with MDS-related changes” (AML-MRC) is separated from AML not otherwise specified (AML-NOS) by the presence of either MLD, MDS-related cytogenetics or MDS history. To clarify whether MLD alone is clinically relevant, we analyzed 408 adult patients categorized as AML-MRC or AML-NOS. EFS (Median 13.8 months vs. 16.0 months) and 3-year-OS (45.8% vs. 53.9%) did not differ significantly between patients with MLD and without. However, MLD correlated with pre-existing MDS (p<0.001) and MDS-related cytogenetics (p=0.035). Patients with MLD as sole AML-MRC criterion (AML-MLD-sole; n=90) had less frequently FLT3-ITD (p=0.032), and a lower median age than AML-NOS (n=232), but EFS, OS, and WBC did not differ significantly. Contrarily, patients with AML-NOS plus AML-MLD-sole (n=323) versus patients with MDS history or MDS-related cytogenetics (n=85) had better EFS (16.9 vs. 10.7 months; p=0.005) and 3-year-OS (55.8% vs. 32.5%; p=0.001). Gene expression profiles were measured for a subset of 96 patients. Analysis of the expression data showed distinct clusters for AML-MLD-sole and AML-NOS versus AML with MDS-related cytogenetics or MDS history. Thus, MLD demonstrated no independent clinical impact, while cytogenetics and MDS history were of prognostic relevance. This data suggest modifications in a revised WHO proposal. All 96 bone marrow samples were obtained from untreated patients at the time of diagnosis. Cells used for microarray analysis were collected from the purified fraction of mononuclear cells after Ficoll density centrifugation.
