Abstract
Therapeutic management and prognostication for patients with B-acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (B-ALL) require appropriate disease subclassification. BCR::ABL1-like B-ALL is unique in that it is defined by a gene expression profile similar to BCR::ABL1+ B-ALL rather than a unifying recurrent translocation. Current molecular/cytogenetic techniques to identify this subtype are expensive, not widely accessible, have long turnaround times and/or require an adequate liquid biopsy. We have studied a total of 118 B-ALL cases from three institutions in two laboratories to identify surrogates for BCR::ABL1+/like B-ALL. We report that immunoglobulin joining chain (IGJ) and spermatogenesis associated serine-rich 2-like (SPATS2L) immunohistochemistry (IHC) sensitively and specifically identify BCR::ABL1+/like B-ALL. IGJ IHC positivity has a sensitivity of 83%, a specificity of 95%, a positive predictive value (PPV) of 89% and a negative predictive value (NPV) of 90%. SPATS2L staining has similar sensitivity and NPV but lower specificity (85%) and PPV (70%). The presence of either IGJ or SPATS2L staining augments the sensitivity (93%) and NPV (95%). While these findings would need to be validated in larger studies, they suggest that IGJ and/or SPATS2L IHC may be utilized in identifying BCR::ABL1-like B-ALL or in selecting B-ALL cases for confirmatory molecular/genetic testing, particularly in resource-limited settings.

Abstract
The molecular basis of Down syndrome (DS) predisposition to leukemia is not fully understood but involves various factors such as chromosomal abnormalities, oncogenic mutations, epigenetic alterations, and changes in selection dynamics. Myeloid leukemia associated with DS (ML-DS) is preceded by a preleukemic phase called transient abnormal myelopoiesis driven by GATA1 gene mutations and progresses to ML-DS via additional mutations in cohesin genes, CTCF, RAS, or JAK/STAT pathway genes. DS-related ALL (ALL-DS) differs from non-DS ALL in terms of cytogenetic subgroups and genetic driver events, and the aberrant expression of CRLF2, JAK2 mutations, and RAS pathway-activating mutations are frequent in ALL-DS. Recent advancements in single-cell multi-omics technologies have provided unprecedented insights into the cellular and molecular heterogeneity of DS-associated hematologic neoplasms. Single-cell RNA sequencing and digital spatial profiling enable the identification of rare cell subpopulations, characterization of clonal evolution dynamics, and exploration of the tumor microenvironment's role. These approaches may help identify new druggable targets and tailor therapeutic interventions based on distinct molecular profiles, ultimately improving patient outcomes with the potential to guide personalized medicine approaches and the development of targeted therapies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND BCR::ABL1-like acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (BCR::ABL1-like ALL) is characterized by inferior outcomes. Current efforts concentrate on the identification of molecular targets to improve the therapy results. The accessibility to next generation sequencing, a recommended diagnostic method, is limited. We present our experience in the BCR::ABL1-like ALL diagnostics, using a simplified algorithm. RESULTS Out of 102 B-ALL adult patients admitted to our Department in the years 2008-2022, 71 patients with available genetic material were included. The diagnostic algorithm comprised flow cytometry, fluorescent in-situ hybridization, karyotype analysis and molecular testing with high resolution melt analysis and Sanger Sequencing. We recognized recurring cytogenetic abnormalities in 32 patients. The remaining 39 patients were screened for BCR::ABL1-like features. Among them, we identified 6 patients with BCR::ABL1-like features (15.4%). Notably, we documented CRLF2-rearranged (CRLF2-r) BCR::ABL1-like ALL occurrence in a patient with long-term remission of previously CRLF2-r negative ALL. CONCLUSIONS An algorithm implementing widely available techniques enables the identification of BCR::ABL1-like ALL cases in settings with limited resources.

Prognostic relevance of surface expression of cytokine receptor-like factor 2 in pediatric B-lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Am J Cancer Res 2023; 13:2452-2470.

Abstract
Overexpression of cytokine receptor-like factor 2 (CRLF2) resulting from its genomic rearrangement is the most frequent genetic alteration found in Philadelphia chromosome-like (Ph-like) B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL), a high-risk leukemia. Detection of CRLF2 expression by multiparameter flow cytometry has been proposed as a screening tool for the identification of Ph-like B-ALL. However, the prognostic relevance of flow cytometric expression of CRLF2 in pediatric B-ALL is not very clear. Additionally, its association with common copy number alterations (CNA) has not been studied in detail. Hence, in this study, we prospectively evaluated the flow cytometric expression of CRLF2 in 256 pediatric B-ALL patients and determined its association with molecular features such as common CNAs detected using Multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification and mutations in CRLF2, JAK2 and IL7RA genes. Further, its association with clinicopathological features including patient outcome was assessed. We found that 8.59% (22/256) pediatric B-ALL patients were CRLF2-positive at diagnosis. Among CNAs, CRLF2 positivity was associated with presence of PAX5 alteration (P=0.041). JAK2 and IL-7R mutations were found in 9% and 13.6% CRLF2-positive patients, respectively. IGH::CRLF2 or P2RY8::CRLF2 fusions were each found in 1/22 individuals. CRLF2-positive patients were found to have inferior overall (hazard ratio (HR) =4.39, P=0.006) and event free survival (HR=2.62, P=0.045), independent to other clinical features. Furthermore, concomitant CNA of IKZF1 in CRLF2 positive patients was associated with a greater hazard for poor overall and event free survival, compared to patients without these alterations or presence of any one of them. Our findings demonstrate that the surface CRLF2 expression in association with IKZF1 copy number alteration can be used to risk stratify pediatric B-ALL patients.

Abstract
The prognostic significance of cytokine receptor like factor 2 (CRLF2) expression at diagnosis in adult B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCP-ALL) needs to be clarified. A total of 357 bone marrow samples collected from consecutive adult cases with Ph-negative BCP-ALL at diagnosis retrospectively detected CRLF2 transcript levels by real-time quantitative PCR. Twenty percent was selected as the cutoff value for CRLF2 to divide patients into CRLF2_H and CRLF2_L groups. CRLF2_H was associated with higher WBC count, P2RY8-CRLF2 fusion and IKZF1 deletions (IKZF1del). In both the whole cohort and B-other patients, CRLF2_H independently predicted lower CR rates after induction. Furthermore, CRLF2_H/IKZF1del(+) patients had significantly lower CR, RFS, and OS rates and tended to have lower RFS and OS rates than others in the whole cohort and B-other patients, respectively. Therefore, coexistence of CRLF2_H and IKZF1del at diagnosis predicts poor response and outcome in adult Ph-negative BCP-ALL.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES CRLF2 alterations are associated with B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCP-ALL). This study aimed to explore the clinical, biological, and outcome features of pediatric BCP-ALL with CRLF2 abnormalities. METHODS This study enrolled 630 childhood BCP-ALLs treated on CCLG-ALL 2008 or 2018 protocol. P2RY8-CRLF2 was determined by Sanger sequencing and CRLF2 expression was evaluated by qRT-PCR. The correlation between clinical, biological features and outcomes with P2RY8-CRLF2 or CRLF2 over-expression were analyzed. RESULTS P2RY8-CRLF2 and CRLF2 over-expression were found in 3.33% and 5.71% respectively. P2RY8-CRLF2 was associated with male, higher frequency of CD7 expression, high WBC and MRD before consolidation. CRLF2 over-expression showed ETV6-RUNX1- , higher frequency of CD22, CD34, CD66c, CD86 expression, hyperdiploidy and high MRD at early treatment. The lower overall survival (OS) was found in patients with P2RY8-CRLF2 and confined only in IR group. Furthermore, adverse event-free survival and OS of P2RY8-CRLF2 were discovered comparing to those without known fusions or treated on CCLG-ALL 2008 protocol. However, P2RY8-CRLF2 was not confirmed as independent prognostic factors and no prognostic impact of CRLF2 over-expression was found. CONCLUSIONS These findings indicate P2RY8-CRLF2 identifies a subset of patients with specific features and adverse outcomes that could be improved by risk-directed treatment.

Abstract
The new aspect of our work is to reveal that Ph-like alterations are common among patients with Ph-ALL experiencing relapse after hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT), despite acquisition of MRD-negative complete responses prior to transplant. This is also the central finding of our work. Therefore, the anticipated benefits of HCT appear diminished among this patient subset; such patients may be better served with efforts to further increase MRD depth prior to HCT, or alternative therapies.

Abstract
Germinal center (GC) reaction greatly contributes to the humoral immune response, which begins in lymph nodes or other secondary lymphoid organs after follicular B cells are activated by T-dependent antigens. The GCs then serve as a platform for follicular B cells to complete clonal expansion and somatic hypermutation and then interact with follicular dendritic cells (FDC) and follicular helper T cells (Tfh). Through the interaction between the immune cells, significant processes of the humoral immune response are accomplished, such as antibody affinity maturation, class switching, and production of memory B cells and plasma cells. Cell positioning during the GC reaction is mainly mediated by the chemokine receptors and lipid receptors, which both belong to G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) family. There are some orphan GPCRs whose endogenous ligands are unclear yet contribute to the regulation of GC reaction as well. This review will give an introduction on the ligands and functions of two types of GC-relating GPCRs-chemokine receptors like CXCR4 and CXCR5, as well as emerging de-orphanized GPCRs like GPR183, GPR174, and P2RY8. The roles these GPCRs play in several antibody-mediated autoimmune skin diseases will be also discussed, including systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), pemphigus, scleroderma, and dermatomyositis. Besides, GPCRs are excellent drug targets due to the unique structure and vital functions. Therefore, this review is aimed at providing readers with a focused knowledge about the role that GPCRs play in GC reaction, as well as in provoking the development of GPCR-targeting agents for immune-mediated diseases besides autoimmune diseases.

Abstract
Drug resistance and treatment failure in pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) are in part driven by tumor heterogeneity and clonal evolution. Although bulk tumor genomic analyses have provided some insight into these processes, single-cell sequencing has emerged as a powerful technique to profile individual cells in unprecedented detail. Since the introduction of single-cell RNA sequencing, we now have the capability to capture not only transcriptomic, but also genomic, epigenetic, and proteomic variation between single cells separately and in combination. This rapidly evolving field has the potential to transform our understanding of the fundamental biology of pediatric ALL and guide the management of ALL patients to improve their clinical outcome. Here, we discuss the impact single-cell sequencing has had on our understanding of tumor heterogeneity and clonal evolution in ALL and provide examples of how single-cell technology can be integrated into the clinic to inform treatment decisions for children with high-risk disease.

Philadelphia chromosome-like B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph-like ALL) accounts for 15% to 30% of B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia in older children, adolescents, and adults and is associated with high rates of conventional treatment failure and relapse. Current clinical trials are assessing the efficacy of the addition of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) to chemotherapy for children and adults with Ph-like ALL harboring ABL class translocations or CRLF2 rearrangements and other JAK pathway alterations. However, real-time diagnosis of patients can be quite challenging given the genetic heterogeneity of this disease and the often cytogenetically cryptic nature of Ph-like ALL-associated alterations. In this review, we discuss the complex biologic and clinical features of Ph-like ALL across the age spectrum, available diagnostic testing modalities, and current clinical treatment strategies for these high-risk patients. We further propose a practical and step-wise approach to Ph-like ALL genetic testing to facilitate the identification and allocation of patients to appropriate clinical trials of TKI-based therapies or commercially available drugs. Although the majority of patients with Ph-like ALL can be successfully identified via current clinical assays by the end of induction chemotherapy, increasing diagnostic efficiency and sensitivity and decreasing time to test resulting will facilitate earlier therapeutic intervention and may improve clinical outcomes for these high-risk patients.

Abstract
Children show a higher incidence of leukaemia compared with young adolescents, yet their cells are less damaged because of their young age. Children with Down syndrome (DS) have an even higher risk of developing leukaemia during the first years of life. The presence of a constitutive trisomy of chromosome 21 (T21) in DS acts as a genetic driver for leukaemia development, however, additional oncogenic mutations are required. Therefore, T21 provides the opportunity to better understand leukaemogenesis in children. Here, we describe the increased risk of leukaemia in DS during childhood from a somatic evolutionary view. According to this idea, cancer is caused by a variation in inheritable phenotypes within cell populations that are subjected to selective forces within the tissue context. We propose a model in which the increased risk of leukaemia in DS children derives from higher rates of mutation accumulation, already present during fetal development, which is further enhanced by changes in selection dynamics within the fetal liver niche. This model could possibly be used to understand the rate-limiting steps of leukaemogenesis early in life.

[PMID: 33893073 DOI: 10.21873/cgp.20251] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/26/2021] [Revised: 03/15/2021] [Accepted: 03/16/2021] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
A fusion gene is the physical juxtaposition of two different genes resulting in a structure consisting of the head of one gene and the tail of the other. Gene fusion is often a primary neoplasia-inducing event in leukemias, lymphomas, solid malignancies as well as benign tumors. Knowledge about fusion genes is crucial not only for our understanding of tumorigenesis, but also for the diagnosis, prognostication, and treatment of cancer. Balanced chromosomal rearrangements, in particular translocations and inversions, are the most frequent genetic events leading to the generation of fusion genes. In the present review, we summarize the existing knowledge on chromosome deletions as a mechanism for fusion gene formation. Such deletions are mostly submicroscopic and, hence, not detected by cytogenetic analyses but by array comparative genome hybridization (aCGH) and/or high throughput sequencing (HTS). They are found across the genome in a variety of neoplasias. As tumors are increasingly analyzed using aCGH and HTS, it is likely that more interstitial deletions giving rise to fusion genes will be found, significantly impacting our understanding and treatment of cancer.

Abstract
B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCP-ALL) is characterized by genetic alterations with high heterogeneity. Precise subtypes with distinct genomic and/or gene expression patterns have been recently revealed using high-throughput sequencing technology. Most of these profiles are associated with recurrent non-overlapping rearrangements or hotspot point mutations that are analogous to the established subtypes, such as DUX4 rearrangements, MEF2D rearrangements, ZNF384/ZNF362 rearrangements, NUTM1 rearrangements, BCL2/MYC and/or BCL6 rearrangements, ETV6-RUNX1-like gene expression, PAX5alt (diverse PAX5 alterations, including rearrangements, intragenic amplifications, or mutations), and hotspot mutations PAX5 (p.Pro80Arg) with biallelic PAX5 alterations, IKZF1 (p.Asn159Tyr), and ZEB2 (p.His1038Arg). These molecular subtypes could be classified by gene expression patterns with RNA-seq technology. Refined molecular classification greatly improved the treatment strategy. Multiagent therapy regimens, including target inhibitors (e.g., imatinib), immunomodulators, monoclonal antibodies, and chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy, are transforming the clinical practice from chemotherapy drugs to personalized medicine in the field of risk-directed disease management. We provide an update on our knowledge of emerging molecular subtypes and therapeutic targets in BCP-ALL.

RAS-protein activation but not mutation status is an outcome predictor and unifying therapeutic target for high-risk acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Oncogene 2020; 40:746-762. [PMID: 33247204 PMCID: PMC7843419 DOI: 10.1038/s41388-020-01567-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/09/2020] [Revised: 10/30/2020] [Accepted: 11/11/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
Leukemias are routinely sub-typed for risk/outcome prediction and therapy choice using acquired mutations and chromosomal rearrangements. Down syndrome acute lymphoblastic leukemia (DS-ALL) is characterized by high frequency of CRLF2-rearrangements, JAK2-mutations, or RAS-pathway mutations. Intriguingly, JAK2 and RAS-mutations are mutually exclusive in leukemic sub-clones, causing dichotomy in therapeutic target choices. We prove in a cell model that elevated CRLF2 in combination with constitutionally active JAK2 is sufficient to activate wtRAS. On primary clinical DS-ALL samples, we show that wtRAS-activation is an obligatory consequence of mutated/hyperphosphorylated JAK2. We further prove that CRLF2-ligand TSLP boosts the direct binding of active PTPN11 to wtRAS, providing the molecular mechanism for the wtRAS activation. Pre-inhibition of RAS or PTPN11, but not of PI3K or JAK-signaling, prevented TSLP-induced RAS-GTP boost. Cytotoxicity assays on primary clinical DS-ALL samples demonstrated that, regardless of mutation status, high-risk leukemic cells could only be killed using RAS-inhibitor or PTPN11-inhibitor, but not PI3K/JAK-inhibitors, suggesting a unified treatment target for up to 80% of DS-ALL. Importantly, protein activities-based principal-component-analysis multivariate clusters analyzed for independent outcome prediction using Cox proportional-hazards model showed that protein-activity (but not mutation-status) was independently predictive of outcome, demanding a paradigm-shift in patient-stratification strategy for precision therapy in high-risk ALL.

Abstract
Background Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is an aggressive hematopoietic malignancy that is most commonly observed in children. Alantolactone (ALT) has been reported to exhibit anti-tumor activity in different types of cancer. The aim of the present study was to investigate the anti-tumor activity and molecular mechanism of ALT in ALL. Methods ALL cell lines were treated with 1, 5 and 10 μM ALT, and cell viability was assessed using an MTT assay and RNA sequencing. Flow cytometry, JC-1 staining and immunofluorescence staining assays were used to measure cell apoptosis and autophagy. Additionally, western blot analysis was used to detect expression of apoptosis and autophagy related proteins. Finally, the effects of ALT on tumor growth were assessed in a BV173 xenograft nude mouse model. Results ALT inhibited the proliferation of ALL cells in a dose-dependent manner. Additionally, it was demonstrated that ALT inhibited cell proliferation, colony formation, autophagy, induced apoptosis and reduced tumor growth in vivo through upregulating the expression of adaptor related protein complex 2 subunit mu 1 (AP2M1). Moreover, the autophagy activator rapamycin, attenuated the pro-apoptotic effects of ALT on BV173 and NALM6 cell lines. Overexpression of AP2M1 decreased the expression of Beclin1 and the LC3-II/LC3-1 ratio, and increased p62 expression. Knockdown of Beclin1 increased the levels of bax, cleaved caspase 3 and cytochrome C, and decreased bcl-2 expression. Conclusions The present study demonstrated that ALT exerts anti-tumor activity through inducing apoptosis and inhibiting autophagy by upregulating AP2M1 in ALL, highlighting a potential therapeutic strategy for treatment of ALL.

Oncol Rep 2020; 44:2045-2055.

Abstract
Accumulating evidence has shown that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play significant roles in the development and progression of many types of cancer including colorectal cancer. RP11-400N13.3 is a novel lncRNA discovered recently and its biological function and underlying mechanism in colorectal cancer remain elusive. This study aimed to reveal the relationship between RP11-400N13.3 and colorectal cancer. Our results demonstrated that the expression of RP11-400N13.3 was significantly upregulated in both colorectal cancer tissues and cell lines as compared to normal adjacent tissues and normal colonic epithelial cells by RT-qPCR, respectively. Upregulation of RP11-400N13.3 was found to be correlated with a poor overall survival rate. Functional studies revealed that RP11-400N13.3 facilitated the proliferation, migration, invasion and tumor growth of colorectal cancer cells while inhibiting the apoptosis of cancer cells in vitro and in vivo. We also observed that RP11-400N13.3 serves as a sponge for miR-4722-3p, and that P2Y receptor family member 8 (P2RY8) was predicted to be a target of miR-4722-3p by bioinformatics analysis. Western blot assay indicated that the expression of P2RY8 was negatively or positively regulated by miR-4722-3p or RP11-400N13.3. In addition, rescue experiments revealed that RP11-400N13.3 promoted proliferation, migration and invasion by directly regulating the expression of miR-4722-3p and P2RY8. In conclusion, our results revealed that RP11-400N13.3 promoted colorectal cancer progression via modulating the miR-4722-3p/P2RY8 axis, thus suggesting RP11-400N13.3 as a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of colorectal cancer.

Abstract
One of the two X chromosomes in females is epigenetically inactivated, thereby compensating for the dosage difference in X-linked genes between XX females and XY males. Not all X-linked genes are completely inactivated, however, with 12% of genes escaping X chromosome inactivation and another 15% of genes varying in their X chromosome inactivation status across individuals, tissues or cells. Expression of these genes from the second and otherwise inactive X chromosome may underlie sex differences between males and females, and feature in many of the symptoms of XXY Klinefelter males, who have both an inactive X and a Y chromosome. We review the approaches used to identify genes that escape from X-chromosome inactivation and discuss the nature of their sex-biased expression. These genes are enriched on the short arm of the X chromosome, and, in addition to genes in the pseudoautosomal regions, include genes with and without Y-chromosomal counterparts. We highlight candidate escape genes for some of the features of Klinefelter syndrome and discuss our current understanding of the mechanisms underlying silencing and escape on the X chromosome as well as additional differences between the X in males and females that may contribute to Klinefelter syndrome.
