Abstract
Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (PH + ALL) is the most common cytogenetic abnormality of B-ALL in adults and is associated with poor prognosis. Previously, the only curative treatment option in PH + ALL was allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (Allo-HSCT). Since 2000, targeted therapy combined with chemotherapy, represented by the tyrosine kinase inhibitor Imatinib, has become the first-line treatment for PH + ALL. Currently, the remission rate and survival rate of Imatinib are superior to those of simple chemotherapy, and it can also improve the efficacy of transplantation. More recently, some innovative immune-targeted therapy greatly improved the prognosis of PH + ALL, such as Blinatumomab and Inotuzumab Ozogamicin. For patients with ABL1 mutations and those who have relapsed or are refractory to other treatments, targeted oral small molecule drugs, monoclonal antibodies, Bispecific T cell Engagers (BiTE), and chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells immunotherapy are emerging as potential treatment options. These new therapeutic interventions are changing the treatment landscape for PH + ALL. In summary, this review discusses the current advancements in targeted therapeutic agents shift in the treatment strategy of PH + ALL towards using more tolerable chemotherapy-free induction and consolidation regimens confers better disease outcomes and might obviate the need for HSCT.

Association of Minimal Residual Disease by a Single-Tube 8-Color Flow Cytometric Analysis With Clinical Outcome in Adult B-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia: A Real-World Study Based on 486 Patients. Arch Pathol Lab Med 2023; 147:1186-1195.

Abstract
CONTEXT.— Minimal/measurable residual disease (MRD) measured by molecular and multiparametric flow cytometry (MFC) has been proven to be predictive of relapse and survival in patients with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL). A universally applicable antibody panel at a low cost but without compromising sensitivity and power of prognosis prediction in adult B-ALL remains unestablished. OBJECTIVE.— To report our experience of using a single-tube 8-color MFC panel to measure the MRD status as a prognostic indicator in adult B-ALL patients. DESIGN.— We retrospectively analyzed the characteristics, MRD status, and prognosis of adult B-ALL based on a large real-world cohort of 486 patients during a 10-year period. RESULTS.— MRD assessed by MFC and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays for BCR-ABL+ patients showed concordant results in 74.2% of cases. MRD- status by our MFC panel could clearly predict a favorable relapse-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) both at the end of induction and at the end of 1 consolidation course. Patients with continuous MRD- and with at least 1 MRD- result showed a favorable RFS and OS compared with those with at least 1 MRD+ result and continuous MRD+, respectively. CONCLUSIONS.— The single-tube 8-color MFC panel demonstrated a low cost, decent sensitivity, and comparability with polymerase chain reaction-MRD but an excellent performance in predicting RFS and OS, and thus could potentially be taken as a routine indicator in the evaluation of the treatment response for adult patients with B-ALL.

Abstract
Tremendous strides have been made in the molecular and cytogenetic classification of acute lymphoblastic leukemia based on gene expression profiling data, leading to an expansion of entities in the recent International Consensus Classification (ICC) of myeloid neoplasms and acute leukemias and 2022 WHO Classification of Tumours: Haematolymphoid Tumors, 5th edition. This increased diagnostic and therapeutic complexity can be overwhelming, and this review compares nomenclature differences between the ICC and WHO 5th edition publications, compiles key features of each entity, and provides a diagnostic algorithmic approach. In covering B-lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL), we divided the entities into established (those present in the revised 4th edition WHO) and novel (those added to either the ICC or WHO 5th edition) groups. The established B-ALL entities include B-ALL with BCR::ABL1 fusion, BCR::ABL1-like features, KMT2A rearrangement, ETV6::RUNX1 rearrangement, high hyperdiploidy, hypodiploidy (focusing on near haploid and low hypodiploid), IGH::IL3 rearrangement, TCF3::PBX1 rearrangement, and iAMP21. The novel B-ALL entities include B-ALL with MYC rearrangement; DUX4 rearrangement; MEF2D rearrangement; ZNF384 or ZNF362 rearrangement, NUTM1 rearrangement; HLF rearrangement; UBTF::ATXN7L3/PAN3,CDX2; mutated IKZF1 N159Y; mutated PAX5 P80R; ETV6::RUNX1-like features; PAX5 alteration; mutated ZEB2 (p.H1038R)/IGH::CEBPE; ZNF384 rearranged-like; KMT2A-rearranged-like; and CRLF2 rearrangement (non-Ph-like). Classification of T-ALL is complex with some variability in how the subtypes are defined in recent literature. It was classified as early T-precursor lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma and T-ALL, NOS in the WHO revised 4th edition and WHO 5th edition. The ICC added an entity into early T-cell precursor ALL, BCL11B-activated, and also added provisional entities subclassified based on transcription factor families that are aberrantly activated.

Commonly Assessed Markers in Childhood BCP-ALL Diagnostic Panels and Their Association with Genetic Aberrations and Outcome Prediction. Genes (Basel) 2022; 13:genes13081374.

Abstract
Immunophenotypic characterization of leukemic cells with the use of flow cytometry (FC) is a fundamental tool in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) diagnostics. A variety of genetic aberrations underlie specific B-cell precursor ALL (BCP-ALL) subtypes and their identification is of great importance for risk group stratification. These aberrations include: ETV6::RUNX1 fusion gene, Philadelphia chromosome (BCR::ABL1 fusion gene), rearrangements of the KMT2A, TCF3::PBX1 fusion gene and changes in chromosome number (hyperdiploidy and hypodiploidy). Diagnostic panels for BCP-ALL usually include B-cell lineage specific antigens: CD19, CD10, CD20, maturation stage markers: CD34, CD10, CD38, TdT, IgM and other markers useful for possible genetic subtype indication. Some genetic features of leukemic cells (blasts) are associated with expression of certain antigens. This review comprehensively summarizes all known research data on genotype-immunophenotype correlations in BCP-ALL. In some cases, single molecules are predictive of particular genetic subtypes, i.e., NG2 with KMT2A gene rearrangements or CD123 with hyperdiploidy. However, much more information on possible genotype or prognosis can be obtained with wider (≥8-color) panels. In several studies, a quantitative antigen expression scale and advanced statistical analyses were used to further increase the specificity and sensitivity of genotype/immunophenotype correlation detection. Fast detection of possible genotype/immunophenotype correlations makes multicolor flow cytometry an essential tool for initial leukemia diagnostics and stratification.

Systematic application of fluorescence in situ hybridization and immunophenotype profile for the identification of ZNF384 gene rearrangements in B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Int J Lab Hematol 2021; 43:658-663.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION ZNF384 gene fusions resulting from translocations with several partner genes have been described in B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) with a characteristic immunophenotype (aberrant CD13 and or CD33 with dim CD10). The prognosis of patients with this rearrangement appears to depend on the fusion partner. ZNF384 rearrangements have been identified by high through put technologies such as RNA sequencing in most of the studies published. We tested the feasibility of using the characteristic immunophenotype as a tool to screen for patients with ZNF384 translocations which can be subsequently confirmed by cytogenetic / molecular methodologies. METHODS ZNF384 rearrangements in B-ALL patients at diagnosis with CD10 <80% and were negative for the BCR-ABL1 fusion (n = 109) were identified by fluorescence in situ hybridization followed by confirmation by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction and Sanger sequencing. The end of induction measurable residual disease evaluated by flow cytometry for these patients was obtained from patient records. RESULTS ZNF384 translocations were identified in 14 patients and were cytogenetically cryptic in 13. EP300-ZNF384 was the most common fusion partner (n = 12), while TAF15-ZNF384 and TCF3-ZNF384 were identified in 1 patient each. End of induction MRD by flow cytometry was positive in 5 of 8 patients with the EP300-ZNF384 fusion treated at our center. CONCLUSION Our findings show a practical approach for the identification of ZNF384 gene rearrangements by widely available technologies and indicate that the response to therapy may be heterogeneous even in this subset, which has been reported as having a favorable prognosis.

Dual-modal label-free genosensor based on hemoglobin@gold nanocluster stabilized graphene nanosheets for the electrochemical detection of BCR/ABL fusion gene. Talanta 2020; 217:121093. [PMID: 32498906 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2020.121093] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2020] [Revised: 04/23/2020] [Accepted: 04/25/2020] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
For the first time, we have successfully synthesized stable graphene nanosheets from graphite powder through sonication in the hemoglobin-capped gold nanoclusters (Hb@AuNCs) solution for biosensing application. This approach, as a simple method for the exfoliation and fragmentation of graphite in a nanocluster solution, enabled us to produce stable aqueous graphene dispersions at low cost and without the need for hazardous chemicals or tedious experimental procedures. In this method, Hb@AuNCs were used not only as stabilizing agent of graphene through non-covalent bonding, but also as dispersing agent of few-layer graphene nanosheets. The Hb@AuNCs stabilized graphene (Hb@AuNCs-G) was characterized by high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), zeta-sizer and Raman spectroscopy. Then, the graphene nanosheets were applied as a novel versatile electrochemical platform for ultrasensitive biosensing of short DNA species of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) based on the "signal off" and "signal on" strategies. For this purpose, a single strand DNA (ssDNA) was immobilized on the Hb@AuNCs-G/AuNPs modified electrode surface and acted as the biorecognition element. Methylene blue (MB), as the signaling probe, was then intercalated into the ssDNA. The intercalated MB was liberated upon interaction with the synthetic complementary DNA (cDNA, target), thereby resulting in the apparent reduction of MB redox signal. This designed "signal off" sensing system enabled the voltammetric determination of the target cDNA over a dynamic linear range (DLR) of 0.1 fM to 10 pM with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.037 fM. In the "signal on" strategy, the response to the cDNA was detected by monitoring the change in the electron transfer resistance (Rct) using the ferro/ferricyanide system as a redox probe. The charge transfer resistance of the probe was found to increase linearly with increasing concentration of target cDNA in the range of 0.1 fM-10 pM with a limit of detection of 0.030 fM. Finally, the selectivity and feasibility of genosensor was evaluated by the analysis of derived nucleotides from mismatched sequences and the clinical samples of patients with leukemia as real samples, respectively.

Abstract
Introduction: Multiparametric flow cytometry immunophenotype (MFCI) plays a crucial role in the diagnosis of acute leukemia (AL). Through the comprehensive assessment of surface and intracellular antigens expressed by blasts, MFCI permits to distinguish myeloid or B/T lymphoid AL, or AL of ambiguous lineages. By means of MFCI, the blasts can be characterized in bone marrow, peripheral blood, and body fluids, such as cerebrospinal fluid.Area covered: This review discusses how MFCI is currently applied in the diagnostic evaluation of AL; it also focuses on 'peculiar' issues such as the role of MFCI for the diagnosis of central nervous system leukemic involvement.Expert commentary: Despite the improved knowledge about the biology of AL, MFCI remains a fundamental tool to make a prompt and accurate diagnosis. MFCI also provides prognostic information for some antigens are associated with specific cytogenetic/genetic abnormalities and, recently, it became a powerful tool to evaluate the quality and depth of response (the so called 'measurable residual disease'). Its role as an efficient detector of residual disease paved the way to the investigation of tissues other than bone marrow and peripheral blood, demonstrating that even small amounts of AL appear to have a prognostic impact and may require personalized intervention.

Abstract
BACKGROUND For diagnosis, sub-categorization and follow up of Acute Leukemia (AL), phenotypic analysis using flow cytometry is mandatory. MATERIAL AND METHODS We retrospectively analyzed immunophenotypic data along with cytogenetics/molecular genetics data (wherever available) from 631 consecutive cases of AL diagnosed at our flow cytometry laboratory from January 2014 to August 2017. RESULTS Of the total 631 cases, 52.9% (n=334) were acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), 43.9% (n=277) acute myeloid leukemia (AML), 2.2% (n=14) mixed phenotypic acute leukemia (MPAL), 0.5% (n=3) acute undifferentiated leukemia (AUL) and 0.5% (n=3) chronic myeloid leukemia in blast crisis (CML-BC). ALL cases comprised of 81.7% (n=273/334) B-cell ALLs (95.2%, n=260/273 common B-ALLs and 4.8%, n=13/273 Pro B-ALLs). CD13 was the commonest cross lineage antigen, expressed in B-ALL (25.6%, n=70/273), followed by CD33 (17.9%, n=49) and combined CD13/CD33 (11.3%, n=31/273) expression. T-ALLs constituted 18.3% (n=61/334) of total ALLs and included 27.9% (n=17/61) cortical T- ALLs. CD13 was commonest (32.7%, n=20/61) aberrantly expressed antigen in T-ALLs, followed by CD117 (19.1%, n=9/47). AML cases included 32.1% (n=89/277) AML with recurrent genetic abnormalities, 9.0% (n=25/277) with FLT3/NPM1c mutation and 58.9% (n=163/277) AML NOS including 14.7% (n=24/163) AML M4/M5, 1.8% (n=3/163) AML M6 and 3.7% (n=6/163) AML M7. In AMLs, CD19 aberrancy was the most common (20.2%, n=56/277) followed by CD56 (15.8%, n=42/265). CONCLUSIONS In this study, we document the spectrum, correlate the immunophenotype with genetic data of all leukemias, especially concerning T-ALL where the data from India is scarce.
