Abstract
BACKGROUND Refining risk stratification of cytogenetically normal AML (CN-AML) cases is important for decision making and tailoring of therapy. In this context genetic and epigenetic mutations was considered. Among these epigenetic regulators are DNMT3A & TET2 genes. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of DNMT3A and TET2 genes mutations and their impact on the outcome of adult AML patients. SUBJECTS AND METHODS The present study is cross sectional study which was conducted on 39 adult CN-AML patients at diagnosis. For all included patients sanger sequencing was done for DNMT3A exon 23 and TET2 exon 3 genes. RESULTS DNMT3A mutations were detected in 8 of 39 patients (20.5%), and in 5 of 39 patients(12.8%) in TET gene. Two CN-AML patients had combined mutations in both genes. All of the mutations detected were missense and only one was frame shift. Mutated TET2 or DNMT3A genes were significantly associated with failure of complete remission (CR) (p <0.001), higher mortality rate, shorter OS (mean=16 versus 22.7 months) and shorter DFS (mean= 9.5 versus 21.4 months) when compared to non-mutated ones. CONCLUSION Mutated TET2 and DNMT3A detection define a subgroup of CN-AML patients with poor outcome.

The Application of Targeted RNA Sequencing for KMT2A-Partial Tandem Duplication Identification and Integrated Analysis of Molecular Characterization in Acute Myeloid Leukemia. J Mol Diagn 2021; 23:1478-1490. [PMID: 34384895 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmoldx.2021.07.019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2021] [Revised: 07/12/2021] [Accepted: 07/26/2021] [Indexed: 12/25/2022] Open
Abstract
The partial tandem duplication of histone-lysine N-methyltransferase 2A (KMT2A-PTD) is an important genetic alteration in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and is associated with poor clinical outcome. Accurate and rapid detection of KMT2A-PTD is important for outcome prediction and clinical management, but next-generation sequencing-based quantitative research is still lacking. In this study, we developed a targeted RNA-based next-generation sequencing panel, together with single primer enrichment and unique molecular identifiers, to identify KMT2A-PTD as well as AML-related gene fusions and other driver mutations. Our panel showed high sensitivity, accuracy, and reproducibility in detecting the fusion ratio of KMT2A-PTD. We characterized the mutation profile of KMT2A-PTD-positive patients with AML and found different distribution patterns of driver mutations according to KMT2A-PTD fusion ratio level. Survival analyses revealed that the fusion ratio of KMT2A-PTD did not affect clinical outcome, but a novel molecular combination, namely, KMT2A-PTD/DNMT3A/FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3-internal tandem duplication, was associated with poor prognosis. Finally, we proved that the dynamic changes in the KMT2A-PTD fusion ratio were consistent with the overall process of disease progression. In summary, we applied the unique molecular identifier-based RNA panel to quantitatively detect KMT2A-PTD and elucidate its clinical relevance, which complemented the integrative network of various genetic alterations in AML.

Abstract
The isocitrate dehydrogenase enzyme, catalyzing isocitrate conversion to α-ketoglutarate (αKG) in both the cell cytoplasm and mitochondria, contributes to the production of dihydronicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) as a reductive potential in various cellular processes. IDH1 gene mutations are revealed in up to 20% of the patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). A mutant IDH enzyme, existing in the cell cytoplasm and possessing neomorphic activity, converts αKG into oncometabolite R-2-hydroxyglutarate (R-2-HG) that accumulates in high amounts in the cell and inhibits αKG-dependent enzymes, including epigenetic regulators. The resultant alteration in gene expression and blockade of differentiation ultimately lead to leukemia development. Myeloid differentiation capacity can be restored by obstruction of the mutant enzyme, inducing substantial reduction in R-2-HG levels. Ivosidenib, a potent selective inhibitor of mutant IDH1, is a differentiating agent shown to be clinically effective in newly diagnosed AML (ND-AML) and relapsed/refractory (R/R) AML harboring this mutation. The drug is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a single-agent treatment for R/R AML. Significance of mutated IDH1 targeting and a potential role of ivosidenib in AML management, when used either as a single agent or as part of combination therapies, will be reviewed herein.

Abstract
In the last decade, large-scale genomic studies in patients with hematologic malignancies identified recurrent somatic alterations in epigenetic modifier genes. Among these, the de novo DNA methyltransferase DNMT3A has emerged as one of the most frequently mutated genes in adult myeloid as well as lymphoid malignancies and in clonal hematopoiesis. In this review, we discuss recent advances in our understanding of the biochemical and structural consequences of DNMT3A mutations on DNA methylation catalysis and binding interactions and summarize their effects on epigenetic patterns and gene expression changes implicated in the pathogenesis of hematologic malignancies. We then review the role played by mutant DNMT3A in clonal hematopoiesis, accompanied by its effect on immune cell function and inflammatory responses. Finally, we discuss how this knowledge informs therapeutic approaches for hematologic malignancies with mutant DNMT3A.

Abstract
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is an extremely heterogeneous disease defined by the clonal growth of myeloblasts/promyelocytes not only in the bone marrow but also in peripheral blood and/or tissues. Gene mutations and chromosomal abnormalities are usually associated with aberrant proliferation and/or block in the normal differentiation of hematopoietic cells. So far, the combination of cytogenetic profiling and molecular and gene mutation analyses remains an essential tool for the classification, diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment for AML. This review gives an overview on how the development of novel innovative technologies has allowed us not only to detect the genetic alterations as early as possible but also to understand the molecular pathogenesis of AML to develop novel targeted therapies. We also discuss the remarkable advances made during the last decade to understand the AML genome both at primary and relapse diseases and how genetic alterations might influence the distinct biological groups as well as the clonal evolution of disease during the diagnosis and relapse. Also, the review focuses on how the persistence of epigenetic gene mutations during morphological remission is associated with relapse. It is suggested that along with the prognostic and therapeutic mutations, the novel molecular targeted therapies either approved by FDA or those under clinical trials including CART-cell therapy would be of immense importance in the effective management of AML.

DNMT3A mutants provide proliferating advantage with augmentation of self-renewal activity in the pathogenesis of AML in KMT2A-PTD-positive leukemic cells. Oncogenesis 2020; 9:7.

Abstract
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with partial tandem duplication of histone-lysine N-methyltransferase 2A (KMT2A-PTD) is a subtype of AML and is associated with adverse survival, yet the molecular pathogenesis of KMT2A-PTD is not fully understood. DNA methyltransferase 3A (DNMT3A) is mutated in various myeloid neoplasms including AML, especially at the Arg882. Recently, it has been found that DNMT3A mutations frequently coexisted with KMT2A-PTD and are associated with inferior outcomes. We aimed to understand the biological role of DNMT3A mutation in KMT2A-PTD-positive cells. Herein, we found that overexpression of DNMT3A mutants (MT) in KMT2A-PTD-positive EOL-1 cells augmented cell proliferation and clonogenicity. Serial colony replating assays indicated that DNMT3A-MT increased the self-renewal ability of Kmt2a-PTD-expressing mouse bone marrow cells with immature morphology. At 10 months post bone marrow transplantation, mice with the combined Kmt2a-PTD and DNMT3A-MT showed hepatosplenomegaly and leukocytosis with a shorter latency compared to control and DNMT3A-wild-type. Gene expression microarray analyses of bone marrow samples from human AML with KMT2A-PTD/DNMT3A-MT showed a stem cell signature and myeloid hematopoietic lineage with dysregulation of HOXB gene expression. In addition, human bone marrow AML cells carrying KMT2A-PTD/DNMT3A-MT showed abnormal growth and augmented self-renewal activity in primary cell culture. The present study provides information underlying the pathogenic role of DNMT3A-MT with KMT2A-PTD in proliferating advantage with augmentation of self-renewal activity in human leukemia, which may help to better understand the disease and to design better therapy for AML patients with these mutations.

Abstract
To define the biological differences in acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) with KMT2A gene involvements and their prognostic impact, we compared 190 de novo AML patients at diagnosis, 95 harbouring KMT2A-rearrangement (KMT2Ar) and 95 KMT2A-PTD by performing cytogenetic and molecular genetic analyses. Both AML subtypes had an unfavourable outcome, particularly in patients > 60 years. Patients with KMT2Ar were younger compared to patients with KMT2A-PTD (mean 52 vs 65 years, p < 0.001) and had a higher rate of additional cytogenetic abnormalities (ACA) (46% vs 25% of cases). In both groups, occurrence of ACA did not influence the overall survival (OS). Regarding molecular genetics, 66% of patients with KMT2Ar and 99% of patients with KMT2A-PTD had additional gene mutations. In multivariate analysis, KRAS mutations and 10p12 rearrangement resulted as adverse prognostic factors in KMT2Ar subgroup. In the KMT2A-PTD group, apart from age, only the occurrence of DNMT3A non-R882 mutations correlated with shorter OS.

Abstract
A total of 133 patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) were enrolled in the current study and were subdivided into 4 groups: 34 harboring DNA methyltransferase 3 α (DNMT3A) + fms related tyrosine kinase 3-internal tandem duplication (FLT3-ITD) mutations, 37 harboring only FLT3-ITD mutation, 32 harboring only DNMT3A mutation and 30 harboring no mutations in DNMT3A and FLT3-ITD (control). Patients in all groups were administered daunorubicin and cytarabine chemotherapy regimens. The rates of complete remission (CR), 1-year relapse (RR) and 3-year overall survival (OS) were compared. Patients in the DNMT3A + FLT3-ITD mutation group exhibited higher proportions of peripheral white blood cells (WBCs) and myeloid progenitor cells compared with those in DNMT3A mutation only, FLT3-ITD mutation only and control groups (P<0.05). The rates of CD15+ and HLA-DR+ in the DNMT3A + FLT3-ITD mutation and DNMT3A mutation only groups were significantly higher than those in the FLT3-ITD mutation only and control groups (P<0.05); in addition, the rate of CD38+ in the DNMT3A + FLT3-ITD mutation and FLT3-ITD mutation only groups was significantly higher compared with that in the DNMT3A mutation only and control groups (P<0.05). The overall chemotherapy effectiveness rate, CR, 1-year RR and the 3-year OS rates of patients in the DNMT3A + FLT3-ITD mutation group were significantly worse compared with FLT3-ITD mutation only, DNMT3A mutation only and control groups (P<0.05). The results of this study indicated that increased mutation rates in DNMT3A and FLT3-ITD may be associated with increased WBC and myeloid progenitor cell counts, an inferior chemotherapy efficacy and prognosis, a lower CR rate, and higher 1-year RR and mortality rate.

Abstract
Background The impact of Tet oncogene family member 2 (TET2) mutations on the prognosis of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is still controversial. A meta analysis is needed in order to assess the prognostic significance of TET2 mutation in AML. Methods Five databases including PubMed, Cochrane, EMBase, China National Knowledge Internet (CNKI) and Wanfang database were retrieved to search studies that investigated the correlation between TET2 mutations and outcomes of AML patients. Pooled hazard ratios (HRs) and odds ratios (ORs) were used to assess the effects of TET2 mutations. Results Sixteen studies were included. TET2 mutation was an unfavorable prognostic factor for overall survival (OS: HR = 1.386; P < 0.001) and event-free survival (EFS: HR = 1.594; P = 0.002) in patients with AML. For patients under 65 years of age, TET2 mutation predicted an inferior OS (HR = 1.310, P = 0.051) and EFS (HR = 1.429, P = 0.027). For patients with intermediate-risk cytogenetics (IR-AML), mutant TET2 had a significant association with adverse OS (HR = 0.474; P < 0.001). For patients with normal cytogenetics (CN-AML), mutant TET2 also conferred adverse OS (HR = 1.425; P < 0.001) and EFS (HR = 1.450, P < 0.001). Further, among patients with CN-AML, mutant TET2 was associated with inferior OS (HR = 2.034, P < 0.001) and EFS (HR = 2.140, P < 0.001) in the ELN favorable-risk subgroup and an inferior EFS (HR = 1.487; P < 0.001) in the ELN intermediate-Isubgroup. With respect to treatment outcome, TET2 mutation predicted a significantly lower rate of complete remission (CR) in cases with ELN favorable-risk cytogenetics (OR = 0.460, P = 0.011). Conclusions TET2 mutation had adverse impacts on survival and treatment response in AML patients and will contribute to risk-stratification, prognosis prediction and therapy guidance.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to examine the associations between 112 acute myeloid leukaemia (AML)-associated genes and the prognosis and clinical features of AML using bioinformatics analysis in 62 patients with AML. A total of 61 gene mutations were identified, and ≥1 mutations were detected in 96.77% of the patients. A total of 11 frequent mutations were identified, including nucleophosmin 1 (NPM1), Fms related tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3), DNA methyltransferase 3α (DNMT3A) and Notch 2 (NOTCH2), with a mutation rate of ≥10%. The FLT3 mutation was significantly associated with the white blood cell count at the time of diagnosis, and DNMT3A was significantly associated with the French-American-British subtype and cytogenetics of patients with AML. The FLT3, NPM1 and DNMT3A mutations were significantly associated with a poor overall survival (OS) in patients with AML. In addition, the co-mutation of DNMT3A-CCAAT enhancer binding protein α (CEBPA) was observed to be significantly associated with a poor OS in patients with AML. Furthermore, the functional enrichment analysis revealed that the co-mutations of FLT3-NOTCH2, SETBP1-CREBBP and DNMT3A-CEBPA were significantly enriched in processes of ‘negative regulation of cell differentiation’ and ‘immune system development’, indicating that these mutations may serve crucial roles in the diagnosis and treatment of AML.

Abstract
Targeting WT MLL for the treatment of MLL-r leukemia, which is highly aggressive and resistant to chemotherapy, has been shown to be a promising strategy. However, drug treatments targeting WT MLL are lacking. We used an in vitro histone methyltransferase assay to screen a library consists of 592 FDA-approved drugs for MLL1 inhibitors by measuring alterations in HTRF signal and found that Piribedil represented a potent activity. Piribedil specifically inhibited the proliferation of MLL-r cells by inducing cell-cycle arrest, apoptosis and myeloid differentiation with little toxicity to the non-MLL cells. Mechanism study showed Piribedil blocked the MLL1-WDR5 interaction and thus selectively reduced MLL1-dependent H3K4 methylation. Importantly, MLL1 depletion induced gene expression that was similar to that induced by Piribedil and rendered the MLL-r cells resistant to Piribedil-induced toxicity, revealing Piribedil exerted anti-leukemia effects by targeting MLL1. Furthermore, both the Piribedil treatment and MLL1 depletion sensitized the MLL-r cells to doxorubicin-induced apoptosis. Our study support the hypothesis that Piribedil could serve as a new drug for the treatment of MLL-r AML and provide new insight for further optimization of targeting MLL1 HMT activity.

Abstract
The classification and risk stratification of myeloid neoplasms, including acute myeloid leukemia, myelodysplastic syndromes, myelodysplastic syndromes/myeloproliferative neoplasms, and myeloproliferative neoplasms, have increasingly been guided by molecular genetic abnormalities. Gene expression analysis and next-generation sequencing have led to the ever increasing discovery of somatic gene mutations in myeloid neoplasms. Mutations have been identified in genes involved in epigenetic modification, RNA splicing, transcription factors, DNA repair, and the cohesin complex. These new somatic/acquired gene mutations have refined the classification of myeloid neoplasms and have been incorporated into the 2016 update of the World Health Organization (WHO) classification and the National Comprehensive Cancer Network guidelines. They have also been helpful in the development of new targeted therapeutic agents. In the present review, we describe the clinical utility of recently identified, clinically important gene mutations in myeloid neoplasms, including those incorporated in the 2016 update of the WHO classification.

Abstract
It is believed that there are key differences in the genomic profile between adult and childhood acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Relapse is the significant contributor of mortality in patients with AML and remains as the leading cause of cancer death among children, posing great challenges in the treatment of AML. The knowledge about the genomic lesions in childhood AML is still premature as most genomic events defined in children were derived from adult cohorts. However, the emerging technologies of next generation sequencing have narrowed the gap of knowledge in the biology of AML by the detection of gene mutations for each sub-type which have led to the improvement in terms of prognostication as well as the use of targeted therapies. In this review, we describe the recent understanding of the genomic landscape including the prevalence of mutation, prognostic impact, and targeted therapies that will provide an insight into the pathogenesis of AML relapse in both adult and childhood cases.

Abstract
Computational methods were employed to determine progression inference of genomic alterations in commonly occurring cancers. Using cross-sectional TCGA data, we computed evolutionary trajectories involving selectivity relationships among pairs of gene-specific genomic alterations such as somatic mutations, deletions, amplifications, downregulation, and upregulation among the top 20 driver genes associated with each cancer. Results indicate that the majority of hierarchies involved TP53, PIK3CA, ERBB2, APC, KRAS, EGFR, IDH1, VHL, etc. Research into the order and accumulation of genomic alterations among cancer driver genes will ever-increase as the costs of nextgen sequencing subside, and personalized/precision medicine incorporates whole-genome scans into the diagnosis and treatment of cancer.

Abstract
Zusammenfassung
Epigenetische Regulationsmechanismen sind essenziell für den koordinierten Ablauf zahlreicher zellulärer Prozesse wie die Differenzierung und Entwicklung oder auch die Anpassung der Genaktivität an die herrschenden Umweltbedingungen. Insbesondere Tumorerkrankungen gehen mit oftmals umfangreichen Alterationen im Epigenom einher. Diese Veränderungen sind dabei vielfach charakteristisch entweder für die Tumorentität, das Stadium der Erkrankung oder aber das klinische Ansprechen des Tumors auf eine Therapie und damit die individuelle Prognose des Patienten. Nach einer kurzen Darstellung epigenetischer Marker und ihrer Bedeutung bei malignen Erkrankungen werden in diesem Artikel Alterationen im Tumorepigenom und ihre Nutzbarkeit im Rahmen einer individualisierten Medizin exemplarisch vorgestellt.

Abstract
Sweet's syndrome (SS) is a rare condition characterized by the abrupt appearance of painful skin lesions due to neutrophilic dermal infiltration. Hematologic neoplasms, particularly acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndromes (MDSs), have been commonly reported in association with SS. Clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) is an emerging entity that is a precursor state to myeloid neoplasms. CHIP has not been previously associated with SS. We report the case of a 71-year-old man who presented with recurrent, painful edematous and erythematous papules and nodules for 18 months despite treatment with corticosteroids. He had normal blood counts, but a macrocytosis was noted (110 fl). Alternative causes of macrocytosis were ruled out. A skin biopsy confirmed a diagnosis of SS. Bone marrow biopsy specimen yielded a normal karyotype except for loss of the Y chromosome and equivocal morphologic findings. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) of selected genes from the peripheral blood demonstrated a mixed lineage leukemia (MLL) partial tandem duplication (PTD) and sequence variant in CCAAT/enhancer binding protein alpha (CEBPA). These findings were consistent with a diagnosis of CHIP. The patient was treated with 5-azacitidine and achieved a complete remission of his skin lesions and was able to discontinue corticosteroids. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a patient with recurrent SS associated with CHIP. In addition to other myeloid neoplasms like AML and MDS, CHIP should be considered as a potential etiology in cases of recurrent SS. Treatment with a hypomethylating agents such as azacitidine could also serve as an alternative to systemic corticosteroid therapy.

Abstract
DNMT3A mutation is known as a recurrent event in acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) patients. However, association between DNMT3A genetic polymorphisms and AML patients' outcomes is unknown. DNMT3A 11 SNPs (rs11695471, rs2289195, rs734693, rs2276598, rs1465825, rs7590760, rs13401241, rs7581217, rs749131, rs41284843 and rs7560488) were genotyped in 344 diagnostic non-FAB-M3 AML patients from southern China. Patients underwent combined chemotherapy with cytarabine and anthracyclines. DNMT3A mRNA expression was analyzed in PBMCs from randomly selected AML patients. Multivariate analysis and combined genotype analysis showed that rs2276598 was associated with increased while rs11695471 and rs734693 were associated with decreased chemosensitivity (P<0.05), while rs11695471 (worse for OS), rs2289195 (favorable for OS and DFS) and rs2276598 (favorable for DFS) were significantly associated with disease prognosis (P<0.05). In conclusion, DNMT3A polymorphisms may be potential predictive markers for AML patients' outcomes, which might improve prognostic stratification of AML.
