Cytotoxic Therapy-Induced Effects on Both Hematopoietic and Marrow Stromal Cells Promotes Therapy-Related Myeloid Neoplasms.

ABSTRACT: Therapy-related myeloid neoplasms (t-MNs) following treatment with alkylating agents are characterized by a del(5q), complex karyotypes, alterations of TP53, and a dismal prognosis. To decipher the molecular pathway(s) leading to the pathogenesis of del(5q) t-MN and the effect(s) of cytotoxic therapy on the marrow microenvironment, we developed a mouse model with loss of two key del(5q) genes, EGR1 and APC, in hematopoietic cells. We used the well-characterized drug, N-ethyl-N-nitrosurea (ENU) to demonstrate that alkylating agent exposure of stromal cells in the microenvironment increases the incidence of myeloid disease. In addition, loss of Trp53 with Egr1 and Apc was required to drive the development of a transplantable leukemia, and accompanied by the acquisition of somatic mutations in DNA damage response genes. ENU treatment of mesenchymal stromal cells induced cellular senescence, and led to the acquisition of a senescence-associated secretory phenotype, which may be a critical microenvironmental alteration in the pathogenesis of myeloid neoplasms.

Project description:Lymphoma patients treated with autologous transplantation (ASCT) live an increasingly long life with the recent advancement in therapeutic modalities. This has resulted in an increase in the incidence of therapy-related myeloid neoplasms (t-MN), which is one of the leading causes of non-relapse mortality. Several observational studies have linked the development of t-MN after ASCT with the intensity and frequency of chemotherapy, particularly alkylating agents, use of total body irradiation (TBI), and peripheral blood progenitor cells. In addition, role of genetic factors is increasingly being identified. It is postulated that the use of chemotherapy prior to ASCT results in DNA damage of progenitor cells, mitochondrial dysfunction, and altered gene expression related to DNA repair, metabolism as well as hematopoietic regulation. Cytogenetic studies have shown the presence of abnormalities in the peripheral blood progenitor cells prior to ASCT. It is, therefore, likely that the reinfusion of peripheral blood progenitor cells, proliferative stress on infused progenitor cells during hematopoietic regeneration and associated telomere shortening ultimately result in clonal hematopoiesis and blastic transformation. Cytopenias, myelodysplasia, or cytogenetic abnormalities are common and can be transient after ASCT; therefore, only when present together, they do confirm the diagnosis of t-MN. Attempts to reduce the occurrence of t-MN should be directed toward minimizing the exposure to the identified risk factors. Although the median survival is few months to less than a year, studies have shown the promising role of allogeneic transplantation in select young t-MN patients without high-risk cytogenetics. In this review we will explain the recent findings in the field of t-MN in lymphoma patients that have implications for identifying the molecular and genetic mechanisms of leukemogenesis and discuss potential strategies to reduce the risk of t-MN in this patient population.
