Abstract Abstract 2187 Poster Board II-164 Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) progression is characterized by occurrence of new cytogenetic and molecular abnormalities. In the previous study, we have shown the important role of GATA-2 L359V mutation in CML progression. To further ascertain the truth of transcription factor GATA-2 in hematological malignancies, we expanded our study to GATA-2 full length by directly sequencing and applied MassARRAY assay into GATA-2 L359V mutation analysis. Finally, no GATA-2 L359V mutation was found in 270 acute myeloid leukemia, 30 myelodysplastic syndrome, 50 acute lymphoblastic leukemia, 12 chronic lymphocytic leukemia, 40 CML chronic phase and 286 BCR/ABL negative myeloproliferative disorders except CML blast crisis. A new variation of GATA-2 resulted in P250A change was identified, which was not found to have statistical difference between patients with hematological malignancies and healthy control. Hence, we concluded GATA-2 L359V is exclusively associated with CML progression but not other hematological malignancies and P250A is a new single nucleotide polymorphism.

Abstract Abstract 4712 The ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) plays a major role in cell homeostasis in normal and neoplastic states. Expression and function of the UPS system vary with the specific characteristics of individual cell types, suggesting that determination of UPS “signatures” could be useful in identifying various cell populations. Since direct analysis of cancer cells is often problematic, even in hematologic diseases, we explored the potential of using UPS signatures in plasma to differentiate between various leukemias. We first analyzed plasma UPS profiles of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML; n=111), acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL; n=29), advanced myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS; n=20), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL; n=118), or chronic myeloid leukemia (CML; n=128; 46 in accelerated/blast crisis [ACC/BL], 82 in chronic phase), and 85 healthy control subjects. Plasma levels of proteasome, ubiquitin (poly-ubiquitin), and the 3 proteasome enzymatic activities (chymotrypsin-like [Ch-L], caspase-like [Cas-L], trypsin-like [Tr-L]) were measured. Specific activities were calculated by normalizing each of the 3 enzyme activities to the levels of proteasome protein in plasma (Ch-L/p, Cas-L/p, and Tr-L/p). These 8 variables were used in multivariate logistic regression models to differentiate between leukemic processes. UPS signatures provided clear differentiation between patients with a leukemic process and normal controls (AUC=0.991), using 6 different variables (Tr-L/P, Ch-L, Ch-L/p, Cas-L, Cas-L/P, ubiquitin). Distinguishing between acute (AML, ALL, MDS) and chronic (CML, CLL) processes was less efficient (AUC=0.853 using Tr-L, Tr-L/P, Cas-L/P, Ch-L/P, proteasome, Ch-L), likely due to the high proportion (36%) of CML patients in ACC/BL phase. However, UPS signatures generally yielded powerful differentiation between individual leukemias (Table). MDS was not well differentiated from AML (AUC=0.791), reflecting the significant biological overlap of these diseases. These data support the potential usefulness of the UPS profile to aid in the differential diagnosis of various leukemias. Disclosures: No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

Abstract Abstract 3387 Background: The current study investigated the diagnostic and clinical role of genome-wide, single nucleotide polymorphism arrays (SNP-A) which can detect microscopic copy number changes in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Methods and Materials: Genome-Wide Human SNP 6.0 Array (Affymetrix, CA, USA) was used for SNP-A karyotyping analysis in 132 CML patients. All patients were treated with imatinib and treatment outcomes were compared according to the presence of clonal aberrations (CAs) detected by SNP-A or additional cytogenetic abnormalities (ACAs) detected by metaphase cytogenetics (MCs). Result: Forty four clonal aberrations were identified in addition to t(9;22) (40 losses, 2 gains, 2 loss of heterozygosity [LOH]) that were not detected by MCs. The 9q34 deletions were found in 11% of cases, while 22q11.2 deletions were observed in 14% of cases. Nine cases harbored both 5'-ABL and 3'-BCR deletions adjacent to the t(9;22) breakpoint (7%). Copy number gains were identified at 8p and 9p, and losses at 2q, 7q, 8q, 11q, 13q, and 16p. Two cases with variant translocation showed additional deletions on the 3rd chromosome with involvement in variant translocations, which were missed by MC. We defined 3 commonly deleted regions (CDRs) on 9q34 and 22q11.2: CDR1 on 9q34 spanned approximately 162 kb between 9q34.11 and 9q34.12; CDR2 on 22q11.23 spanned 138 kb; CDR3 on 22q11.23 encompassed 102 kb. When we compared treatment outcomes according to the combination of the presence of CAs by SNP-A and/or ACAs, the patients having both CAs and ACAs showed a higher risk of failure following imatinib therapy than those with either CAs/ACAs or none (p=0.015). Conclusion: The present study suggests that SNP-A analysis is a useful tool for detection of clonal aberrations in the CML genome, and could improve the prediction of prognosis in CML patients. In addition, our data suggest that SNP-A analysis is a useful tool to detect cryptic aberrations in CML genome, could improve the prediction of prognosis in CML patients and enables us to delineate CDRs on 9q34 and 22q11.2 which might be associated with CML leukemogenesis.

Abstract Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) is a hematopoietic stem cell disease with distinct biology and clinical features. According to clinical and biology process, CML can be divided as two different phase: the initial chronic phase (CP) and progression phase including accelerated phase (AP) followed by blast crisis (BC). In a previous study, we have identified the transcription factor GATA-2 L359V mutation in CML BC patients but not CP and its pivotal role in CML progression (PNAS 2008 105:2076–2081). Here, we continued to explore the occurrence of GATA-2 L359V mutation in other hematological malignancies using Mass-ARRAY assay and sequence analysis. A total of 652 patient samples were included in our study. These patients were referred to 270 Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) including M1–M7, 30 Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS), 50 Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL), 12 Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL), 40 CML CP and 250 BCR/ABL negative Myeloproliferative Disorder (MPD) patients. 5 ml bone marrow sample before therapy was collected with informed consent and genomic DNA was isolated. The diagnosis of AML, ALL, CML, CLL, MDS and MPD was established according to the 2001 WHO diagnostic criteria. In addition, 8 samples of CML BC harboring GATA-2 L359V were supplied into our study as positive control and 100 peripheral blood samples of healthy adult as normal control. As a result, no L359V mutation was detected in AML, ALL, MDS, CLL, BCR/ABL negative MPD and CML CP. Our data strongly suggested that GATA-2 L359V is solely associated with CML progression but not other hematological malignancies. Therefore, we favored this idea, i.e., BCR/ABL underlies the pathogenic basis of CML CP; However, subsequent genomic instabilities contribute to mutation of key transcription factor such as GATA-2 which ultimately trigger the blastic transformation of CML.

Background: Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a myeloproliferative neoplasm. The pathogenesis of CML is based on the oncoprotein termed BCR‐ABL1. TET2 initiates DNA demethylation and is frequently mutated in hematological malignancies including CML.(1) The relation between TET2 acquisition and CML transformation and/or imitinab resistance is needed to be investigated. (2) Aim: To evaluate Ten Eleven Translocation 2 gene (TET2) single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) (rs2454206, rs34402524, rs61744960) in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in relation to the disease prognostic criteria. Materials & Method: The study included 84 subjects; 54 CML in chronic phase and 30 healthy subjects as control group matched for age and sex. Routine investigations including CBC, bone marrow aspiration, biochemical investigations and molecular study were performed in CML patients to identify the disease stage. DNA extraction and SNP assay for TET2 gene polymorphism was done using (Thermo-Fisher predesigned SNP, USA) PCR prism 7500. Results: The mean age was 45.98±15.7 yrs in CML patients and   39.3±6.587 yrs in control group (p>0.05). TET2 SNP rs 34402524 was either heterozygous and homozygous in CML (48%,and 46.2%) but was mainly homozygous among control (80%) group (p=0.012). TET2 SNP rs 2454206 cases within CML (65.4%) and control (63.3%) group had wild patterns (p=0.046). TET2 SNP rs 61744960 showed a homozygous pattern among all groups (CML and control) showing no statistical significance (p=0.528). TET2 SNP in CML cases did not alter the prognostic criteria as no statistical significance was noted (p>0.05) yet, it was significantly related to spleen size in rs 34402524 where homozygous group had huger sizes and higher BCR-ABL1 levels 6 months after starting TKIs (p<0.05). Conclusions/Recommendation: TET2 SNP is a common in Egyptian chronic myeloid leukemia. TET2 SNP rs 3442524 was associated with huger spleen size and higher BCR-ABL1 levels after 6 months of starting TKIs suggesting disease progression.

Abstract Abstract 4429 DNA hypermethylation has important implications in the tumorigenesis and prognosis in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). To identify relevant methylated genes in AML, we have compared several expression and methylation profilings. With expression analysis, we identified that TRPC6, DBC1, DCC and SOX9 have decreased expression levels in the most analyzed AML cell lines. Among these candidates, DBC1 (deleted bladder cancer 1), a putative tumor suppressor, drew our attention because it is frequently methylated not only in hematological malignancies, including diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, follicular lymphoma, mantle cell lymphoma, and acute lymphoblastic leukemia, but also in epithelial cancers. DBC1 may play an important role in the regulation of cell growth and programmed cell death. But the mechanisms of transcriptional control and function role in the hematological malignancies, especially on acute myeloid leukemia, are not well known. In this study, we analyzed the DBC1 expression pattern in 9 AML cell lines with RT-PCR analysis. DBC1 mRNA expression was observed in normal bone-marrow but diminished expression in all of 9 AML cell lines. DBC1 methylation was frequently observed in AML cells (9 of 9, 100%) and inversely correlated with DBC1 mRNA expression in a COBRA analysis (Combined Bisulfite Restriction Analysis). We also detected a frequent methylation of DBC1 in primary AML patient samples (9 of 9, 100%). These findings indicate that DBC1 is frequently silenced by hypermethylation in AML. We are in the process of investigation the functional role of DBC1 in the pathogenesis. In addition, diagnostic and prognostic values of DBC1 in AML are being pursued.* Chen Zhao and Aili Dai contributed equally to the presented work.

Abstract Abstract 2717 Introduction: LR11 (also called SorLA or SORL1) is a type I membrane protein, from which a large extracellular part, soluble LR11 (sLR11), is released by proteolytic shedding. LR11 plays a key role in the migration of undifferentiated vascular smooth muscle cells, and circulating sLR11 is known to be a biomarker of carotid intima-media thickness. Along with the fact that circulating sLR11 levels represent the accumulation of vascular immature cells, human CD34+CD38− immature hematopoietic precursors have been reported to express high levels of LR11 mRNA. We have recently found that LR11 is specifically and highly expressed on cell surface of acute leukemia cells in addition to normal leukocytes (unpublished data). These facts prompted us to evaluate the serum sLR11 level in patients with acute leukemia and other hematological malignancies to validate sLR11 as a novel circulating marker for treatment outcome and prognosis. Patients and Methods: Serum sLR11 levels were measured by ELISA method in 139 patients with acute leukemia and other hematological malignancies treated at a single institution from 1999 to 2010. Patients' laboratory data and treatment outcome were collected retrospectively in 43 acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and 23 acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) patients. Results: sLR11 levels of acute leukemia patients were significantly increased [ALL, 73.5±93.5 ng mld−1 (range, 5.7–407.0), P<0.0001; AML, 26.8±29.1 ng ml−1 (range, 5.0–157.5), P<0.0001] in comparison to the control subjects (9.2±3.3 ng ml−1), while sLR11 levels in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (17.9±11.1 ng ml−1), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (12.7±11.6 ng ml−1), multiple myeloma (10.5±4.8 ng ml−1), and POEMS syndrome (9.0±2.7 ng ml−1) were not significantly different from controls. sLR11 levels were significantly higher in ALL than those in other leukemias. Paired sample analysis of patients with AML and ALL at complete remission (CR) after chemotherapy showed significantly decreased sLR11 levels compared to the time of diagnosis (AML: 30.9±37.5 ng ml−1 vs. 10.4±4.3 ng ml−1, P=0.015, ALL: 39.1±126.0 ng ml−1 vs. 11.2±5.0 ng ml−1, P=0.0029). The multiple stepwise liner regression analysis showed that the peripheral blast proportion in both ALL and AML patients were independently associated with sLR11 at diagnosis (AML: r2= 0.21, P=0.0026, ALL: r2= 0.34, P=0.0043). Among 42 AML patients, sLR11 levels of subjects in the highest tertile of peripheral blast proportion (>67.5% of WBC) were 2.44- and 3.05-fold higher than those in the middle (23.0-64.0% of WBC) and lowest tertiles (<20.0% of WBC), respectively. Twenty out of 21 AML patients with <20 ng ml−1 sLR11 at diagnosis achieved CR after induction chemotherapy, and the CR rate was significantly higher in patients with <20 ng ml−1 sLR11 than in patients with ≥20 ng ml−1 (95.2% vs 65.5%, P=0.02). The probability of overall 5-year survival was significantly lower in AML patients with ≥20 ng ml−1 sLR11 at diagnosis than in those with <20 ng ml−1 [Figure1, 36.8% vs 63.7%, P = 0.04; hazard ratio (HR): 2.74; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.04–8.01]. Conclusions: Serum sLR11 levels in patients with acute leukemia were significantly elevated and were associated with the peripheral blast population but not in other chronic proliferative hematological malignancies. These findings suggest that the serum sLR11 levels are predictive for pathogenic properties of immature blasts, including their migration and attachment activities, rather than simply associating with proliferating cell numbers. Especially in AML patients, serum sLR11 levels at diagnosis significantly affect CR rate and OS. Although larger scale studies including karyotype or FAB classification would be required for its patho-clinical significance, serum sLR11 is a promising novel biomarker for acute leukemia and it could play an important role as prognostic factor.
