Key Points In pediatric T-ALL, MLLT10 emerged as a promiscuous gene, maintaining the critical leukemogenic OM-LZ domain in all fusions. MLLT10 gene fusions were associated with a specific expression profile within the HOXA subgroup of pediatric T-ALL.

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia is the most common type of childhood cancer worldwide. Mexico City has one of the highest incidences and mortality rates of this cancer. It has previously been recognized that chromosomal translocations are important in cancer etiology. Specific fusion genes have been considered as important treatment targets in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). The present research aimed at the identification and characterization of novel fusion genes with potential clinical implications in Mexican children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The RNA-sequencing approach was used. Four fusion genes not previously reported were identified: CREBBP-SRGAP2B, DNAH14-IKZF1, ETV6-SNUPN, ETV6-NUFIP1. Although a fusion gene is not sufficient to cause leukemia, it could be involved in the pathogenesis of the disease. Notably, these new translocations were found in genes encoding for hematopoietic transcription factors which are known to play an important role in leukemogenesis and disease prognosis such as IKZF1, CREBBP, and ETV6. In addition, they may have an impact on the prognosis of Mexican pediatric patients with ALL, with the potential to be included in the current risk stratification schemes or used as therapeutic targets.

AbstractRecent studies implicated that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) may play a role in the progression and development of acute lymphoblastic leukemia, however, this role is not yet clear. In order to unravel the role of lncRNAs associated with B-cell precursor Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (BCP-ALL) subtypes, we performed transcriptome sequencing and DNA methylation array across 82 BCP-ALL samples from three molecular subtypes (DUX4, Ph-like, and Near Haploid or High Hyperdiploidy). Unsupervised clustering of BCP-ALL samples on the basis of their lncRNAs on transcriptome and DNA methylation profiles revealed robust clusters separating three molecular subtypes. Using extensive computational analysis, we developed a comprehensive catalog of 1235 aberrantly dysregulated BCP-ALL subtype-specific lncRNAs with altered expression and methylation patterns from three subtypes of BCP-ALL. By analyzing the co-expression of subtype-specific lncRNAs and protein-coding genes, we inferred key molecular processes in BCP-ALL subtypes. A strong correlation was identified between the DUX4 specific lncRNAs and activation of TGF-β and Hippo signaling pathways. Similarly, Ph-like specific lncRNAs were correlated with genes involved in activation of PI3K-AKT, mTOR, and JAK-STAT signaling pathways. Interestingly, the relapse-specific differentially expressed lncRNAs correlated with the activation of metabolic and signaling pathways. Finally, we showed a set of epigenetically altered lncRNAs facilitating the expression of tumor genes located at theircislocation. Overall, our study provides a comprehensive set of novel subtype and relapse-specific lncRNAs in BCP-ALL. Our findings suggest a wide range of molecular pathways are associated with lncRNAs in BCP-ALL subtypes and provide a foundation for functional investigations that could lead to new therapeutic approaches.Author SummaryAcute lymphoblastic leukemia is a heterogeneous blood cancer, with multiple molecular subtypes, and with high relapse rate. We are far from the complete understanding of the rationale behind these subtypes and high relapse rate. Long non-coding (lncRNAs) has emerged as a novel class of RNA due to its diverse mechanism in cancer development and progression. LncRNAs does not code for proteins and represent around 70% of human transcripts. Recently, there are a number of studies used lncRNAs expression profile in the classification of various cancers subtypes and displayed their correlation with genomic, epigenetic, pathological and clinical features in diverse cancers. Therefore, lncRNAs can account for heterogeneity and has independent prognostic value in various cancer subtypes. However, lncRNAs defining the molecular subtypes of BCP-ALL are not portrayed yet. Here, we describe a set of relapse and subtype-specific lncRNAs from three major BCP-ALL subtypes and define their potential functions and epigenetic regulation. Our data uncover the diverse mechanism of action of lncRNAs in BCP-ALL subtypes defining how lncRNAs are involved in the pathogenesis of disease and the relevance in the stratification of BCP-ALL subtypes.
