Aim: To determine the role of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in noncoding RNAs in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) subtypes. Materials & methods: We screened all SNPs in 130 pre-miRNA genes to assess their role in the susceptibility of the most common subtypes of ALL: hyperdiploid and ETV6-RUNX1. Results: In two independent cohorts, we found a significant association between rs10406069 in miR-5196 and the risk of developing hyperdiploid ALL. This observation could be explained by the impact of the SNP on miR-5196 expression and in turn, in its target genes. Indeed, rs10406069 was associated with expression changes in SMC1A, a gene involved in sister chromatin cohesion. Conclusion: rs10406069 in miR-5196 may have a relevant role in hyperdiploid ALL risk.

Regulation of oncogenic gene expression by transcription factors that function as tumor suppressors is one of the major mechanisms that regulate leukemogenesis. Understanding this complex process is essential for explaining the pathogenesis of leukemia as well as developing targeted therapies. Here, we provide an overview of the role of Ikaros tumor suppressor and its role in regulation of gene transcription in acute leukemia. Ikaros (IKZF1) is a DNA-binding protein that functions as a master regulator of hematopoiesis and the immune system, as well as a tumor suppressor in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Genetic alteration or functional inactivation of Ikaros results in the development of high-risk leukemia. Ikaros binds to the specific consensus binding motif at upstream regulatory elements of its target genes, recruits chromatin-remodeling complexes and activates or represses transcription via chromatin remodeling. Over the last twenty years, a large number of Ikaros target genes have been identified, and the role of Ikaros in the regulation of their expression provided insight into the mechanisms of Ikaros tumor suppressor function in leukemia. Here we summarize the role of Ikaros in the regulation of the expression of the genes whose function is critical for cellular proliferation, development, and progression of acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
