Abstract
BACKGROUND Real-world data on outcomes of upfront allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HCT) for adult T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma (T-ALL) patients in first complete remission (CR1) is still lacking. METHODS A single center retrospective study was conducted from 94 consecutive patients received their first allo-HCT between 2010 and 2021, which include 76 patients received upfront allo-HCT and 18 patients received allo-HCT in non-upfront settings. RESULTS There were no significant differences in most variables. In the upfront allo-HCT group, 52 (68%) patients achieved CR1 with one cycle of induction regimen. 24 (32%) patients achieved CR1 with more than one cycle. In the non-upfront group, there were 14 patients with active disease and 4 patients in second CR before transplant. The majority of patients received antithymocyte globulin-based graft-versus-host disease prophylaxis. Median follow-up time was 51 months for both groups. 5-year overall survival (OS) was 54% in the upfront allo-HCT group. While, in the non-upfront group, 5-year OS were 19% (P = 0.013). 5-year progression free survival in the upfront group was higher than that in the non-upfront group (50% versus 20%, P = 0.02). 5-year cumulative incidence relapse rate was significantly higher in non-upfront group (64% vs. 32%, P = 0.006). While, there was no difference in the 5-year non-relapse mortality (NRM) rate (19% versus 16%, P = 0.56). The most common cause of death was disease progression. In multivariable analysis, non-upfront allo-HCT (hazard ratios (HR) 2.14, P = 0.03) and HCT-CI (≥ 2) (HR 6.07, P = 0.002) were identified to be associated with worse OS. Non-upfront allo-HCT and HCT-CI (≥ 2) were also found to be independent risk factors for higher relapse rate. While, haploidentical-HCT was found to be associated with increased NRM. CONCLUSIONS Our study indicated that allo-HCT remains an important curative treatment for adult patients with T-ALL, especially when it was performed in the upfront setting.

Abstract
Early T-cell precursor (ETP) acute lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma (ALL) is generally considered to be a high-risk subtype. We retrospectively analyzed the clinical outcomes of adult patients diagnosed with ETP-ALL or other T-cell ALL (non-ETP T-ALL). The subjects were 82 patients (ETP-ALL: n = 18, non-ETP T-ALL: n = 64) for whom relevant immunophenotype data needed for classification were available. ETP-ALL patients were older (median age, 50.5 vs. 33.5 years, P = 0.042) and had less mediastinal involvement (27.8 vs. 73.4%, P < 0.001). The rate of complete remission (CR) with the first induction therapy was significantly lower in the ETP group (33.3 vs. 64.0%, P = 0.03), but the CR rate within 2 cycles of chemotherapy did not differ significantly (61.1 vs. 76.6%, P = 0.232). The 3-year overall survival (OS) rate was also similar in both groups (43.2 vs. 45.8%, P = 0.992). The ETP phenotype had no impact on survival in the transplant group or the non-transplant group. A multivariate analysis identified the male sex as a poor prognostic factor (HR: 4.43, P < 0.01), but not the immunophenotype of ETP. The prognosis for adult patients with ETP-ALL was comparable to that of non-ETP T-ALL patients. However, further studies aimed at improving the remission rate for ETP-ALL are needed.

Abstract
Nelarabine is an effective treatment for T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma. Myelopathy is a rare but serious adverse event associated with this drug. Three patients who received nelarabine at the National Cancer Center Hospital from December 2014 to March 2021 developed myelopathy 20 days before, 12 days after, and 29 days after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT), respectively. Magnetic resonance imaging showed that two of the patients had lesions in the dorsal column or medulla oblongata, and one had no abnormalities in the head or spine. Despite treatment with intravenous immunoglobulin and methylprednisolone, all patients became unable to walk. One patient died on day 101 after allo-HCT due to progressive neurotoxicity. The other two patients showed spontaneous improvement in neurological symptoms, but one died of mucormycosis on day 476. Autopsy revealed spongiosis in the posterior funiculus in both patients who died, and also in the medulla oblongata in one patient. In the surviving patient, positron emission tomography on day 84 showed abnormal accumulation, suggesting continued inflammation. These cases demonstrated pathophysiological features of nelarabine-induced myelopathy and indicate that allo-HCT may worsen the condition. It is necessary to elucidate the underlying mechanism and establish diagnostic methods and therapies.

Abstract
Background Adult T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) is a heterogeneous malignant tumor with poor prognosis. However, accurate prognostic stratification factors are still unclear. Methods Data from 90 adult T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma (T-ALL/LBL) patients were collected. The association of gene mutations detected by next-generation sequencing and clinical characteristics with the outcomes of T-ALL/LBL patients were retrospectively analyzed to build three novel risk stratification models through Cox proportional hazards model. Results Forty-seven mutated genes were identified. Here, 73.3% of patients had at least one mutation, and 36.7% had ≥3 mutations. The genes with higher mutation frequency were NOTCH1, FBXW7, and DNMT3A. The most frequently altered signaling pathways were NOTCH pathway, transcriptional regulation pathway, and DNA methylation pathway. Age (45 years old), platelet (PLT) (50 G/L), actate dehydrogenase (LDH) (600 U/L), response in D19-BMR detection, TP53 and cell cycle signaling pathway alterations, and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) were integrated into a risk stratification model of event-free survival (EFS). Age (45 years old), white blood cell (WBC) count (30 G/L), response in D19-BMR detection, TP53 and cell cycle signaling pathway alterations, and HSCT were integrated into a risk stratification model of overall survival (OS). According to our risk stratification models, the 1-year EFS and OS rates in the low-risk group were significantly higher than those in the high-risk group. Conclusions Our risk stratification models exhibited good prognostic roles in adult T-ALL/LBL patients and might guide individualized treatment and ultimately improve their outcomes.

Abstract
T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma (T-ALL/LBL) is an aggressive hematological disorder that is sensitive to chemotherapy; however, it exhibits frequent relapse rates. Platinum-containing therapeutics are the first-line salvage regimens used in the treatment of relapsed or refractory T-ALL/LBL. The selenium-platinum compound EG-Se/Pt is obtained from the combination of selenium-containing molecules (EG-Se) with cisplatin (CDDP); however, its anticancer properties have been poorly investigated. In the present study, the Cell Counting Kit-8 assay was used to evaluate the inhibitory effect of treatment with EG-Se/Pt on cell viability. Cell cycle distribution, apoptosis, reactive oxygen species (ROS) content and the mitochondrial membrane potential were analyzed using flow cytometry. Intracellular platinum content was detected using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Caspase activity was determined using a colorimetric assay. The expression of several proteins associated with apoptosis was analyzed using western blotting. The results of the present study demonstrated that treatment with EG-Se/Pt increased the inhibition of Jurkat and Molt-4 T-ALL/LBL cell viability compared with CDDP, and induced apoptosis and cell cycle arrest. The intracellular platinum content of T-ALL/LBL cells treated with EG-Se/Pt was increased compared with that of T-ALL/LBL cells treated with CDDP. EG-Se/Pt-induced apoptosis was mediated by caspase and ROS levels through the activation of the mitochondrial signaling pathway. The results of the present study suggest that EG-Se/Pt is a potential therapeutic candidate for the treatment of T-ALL/LBL.
