Project description:The role of subclonal TP53 mutations, defined by a variant allele frequency of <20%, has not been addressed in acute myeloid leukemia yet. We, therefore, analyzed their prognostic value in a cohort of 1,537 patients with newly diagnosed disease, prospectively treated within three trials of the "German-Austrian Acute Myeloid Leukemia Study Group". Mutational analysis was performed by targeted deep sequencing and patients with TP53 mutations were categorized by their variant allele frequency into groups with frequencies >40%, 20%-40% and <20%. A total of 108 TP53 mutations were found in 98 patients (6.4%). Among these, 61 patients had variant allele frequencies >40%, 19 had variant allele frequencies between 20%-40% and 18 had frequencies <20%. Compared to specimens with clonal TP53 mutations, those with subclonal ones showed significantly fewer complex karyotypes and chromosomal losses. In either TP53-mutated group, patients experienced significantly fewer complete responses (P<0.001) and had worse overall and event-free survival rates (P<0.0001). In Cox regression analyses adjusting for age, white blood cell count, cytogenetic risk and type of acute myeloid leukemia, the adverse prognostic effect of TP53 mutations remained significant for all TP53-mutated subgroups. These data suggest that subclonal TP53 mutations are a novel prognostic parameter in acute myeloid leukemia and emphasize the usefulness of next-generation sequencing technologies for risk stratification in this disorder. The study was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov with number NCT00146120.

Project description:Mutations of the TP53 gene occur in a subset of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and confer an exceedingly adverse prognosis. However, whether different types of TP53 mutations exert a uniformly poor outcome has not been investigated yet. Here, we addressed this issue by analyzing data of 1537 patients intensively treated within protocols of the German-Austrian AML study group. We classified TP53 mutations depending on their impact on protein structure and according to the evolutionary action (EAp53) score and the relative fitness score (RFS). In 98/1537 (6.4%) patients, 108 TP53 mutations were detected. While the discrimination depending on the protein structure and the EAp53 score did not show a survival difference, patients with low-risk and high-risk AML-specific RFS showed a different overall survival (OS; median, 12.9 versus 5.5 months, p = 0.017) and event-free survival (EFS; median, 7.3 versus 5.2 months, p = 0.054). In multivariable analyses adjusting for age, gender, white blood cell count, cytogenetic risk, type of AML, and TP53 variant allele frequency, these differences were statistically significant for both OS (HR, 2.14; 95% CI, 1.15-4.0; p = 0.017) and EFS (HR, 1.97; 95% CI, 1.06-3.69; p = 0.033). We conclude that the AML-specific RFS is of prognostic value in patients with TP53-mutated AML and a useful tool for therapeutic decision-making.

Project description:BackgroundMutations in the tumor protein 53 (TP53) gene predict a poor prognosis in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML).MethodsPeripheral blood or bone marrow samples from 293 patients with newly diagnosed AML were analyzed with targeted, amplicon-based, next-generation sequencing-based mutation analysis.ResultsTP53 mutations were identified in 53 patients (18%; 45 were missense mutations). In 13 of the 53 patients, the most common pattern of amino acid substitution was a substitution of arginine to histidine on different codons. The clinical characteristics, pattern of mutations, response to different therapies, and outcomes of patients with AML-TP53-mutated (n = 53) versus wild-type TP53 (n = 240) were compared. TP53 mutations were significantly more likely in patients who had a complex karyotype; abnormalities of chromosome 5, 7, and 17; and therapy-related AML. Patients who had TP53-mutated AML had significantly lower incidence of mutations in Fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3), rat sarcoma (RAS), and nucleophosmin (NPM1) and higher incidence of coexisting MPL mutations compared with those who had wild type TP53. The distribution of TP53 mutations was equal for both age groups (ages <60 years vs ≥60 years). TP53-mutated AML was associated with a lower complete remission rate (41% vs 57%; P = .04), a significantly inferior complete remission duration (at 2 years: 30% vs 55%; P = .001), and overall survival (at 2 years: 9% vs 24%; P ≤ .0001) irrespective of age or the type of treatment received (high-intensity vs low-intensity chemotherapy).ConclusionsThe type of treatment received did not improve outcomes in younger or older patients with TP53-mutated AML. These data suggest that novel therapies are needed to improve the outcome of patients with AML who have TP53 mutations. Cancer 2016;122:3484-3491. © 2016 American Cancer Society.

Project description:TP53 aberrations are found in approximately 10% of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and are considered early driver events affecting leukemia stem cells. In this study, we compared features of a total of 84 patients with these disorders seen at a tertiary cancer center. Clinical and cytogenetic characteristics as well as immunophenotypes of immature blast cells were similar between AML and MDS patients. Median overall survival (OS) was 226 days (95% confidence interval [CI], 131-300) for the entire cohort with an estimated 3-year OS rate of 11% (95% CI, 6-22). OS showed a significant difference between MDS (median, 345 days; 95% CI, 235-590) and AML patients (median, 91 days; 95% CI, 64-226) which is likely due to a different co-mutational pattern as revealed by next-generation sequencing. Transformation of TP53 aberrant MDS occurred in 60.5% of cases and substantially reduced their survival probability. Cox regression analysis revealed treatment class and TP53 variant allele frequency as prognostically relevant parameters but not the TP53-specific prognostic scores EAp53 and RFS. These data emphasize similarities between TP53 aberrant AML and MDS and support previous notions that they should be classified and treated as a distinct disorder.

Project description:PurposeThe fifth World Health Organization (WHO) classification (2022 WHO) and International Consensus Classification (ICC) of myeloid neoplasms have recently been published. In this study, patients were reclassified according to the revised classification and their prognoses were analyzed to confirm the clinical utility of the new classifications.MethodsWe included 101 adult patients, 77 with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and 24 with myelodysplastic neoplasms (MDS), who underwent bone marrow aspiration and next-generation sequencing (NGS) between August 2019 and July 2023. We reclassified the patients according to the revised criteria, examined the differences, and analyzed the prognosis using survival analysis.ResultsAccording to the 2022 WHO and ICC, 23 (29.9%) patients and 32 (41.6%) patients were reclassified into different groups, respectively, due to the addition of myelodysplasia-related (MR) gene mutations to the diagnostic criteria or the addition of new entities associated with TP53 mutations. The median overall survival (OS) of patients with AML and MR gene mutations was shorter than that of patients in other AML groups; however, the difference was not significant. Patients with AML and TP53 mutation had a significantly shorter OS than the other AML group (p = 0.0014, median OS 2.3 vs 10.3 months). They also had significantly shorter OS than the AML and MR mutation group (p = 0.002, median OS 2.3 vs 9.6 months).ConclusionThe revised classifications allow for a more detailed categorization based on genetic abnormalities, which may be helpful in predicting prognosis. AML with TP53 mutations is a new ICC category that has shown a high prognostic significance in a small number of cases.

Project description:Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a highly heterogeneous myeloid malignancy which can be classified by genetic aberrations. To evaluate the impact of the dynamin 2 mutation in AML, we systematically assessed the characteristics and prognostic of DNM2 mutated patients in AML. In 912 AML patients, 20 somatic mutations in the DNM2 gene were identified among the 18 DNM2 mutated AML patients (2%). Of the mutation events, 60% (12/20) were in the dynamin central region of DNM2. DNM2mutations were preferentially occurred in AML with CEBPA mutation (11/18, 61.1%), or RUNX1::RUNX1T1 fusion gene (6/18, 33.3%). DNM2 mutations were associated with better overall survival (P = 0.028), event-free survival (P = 0.0093) and trends towards better relapse-free survival (P = 0.08), which seems potentially attribute to its coexisting with CEBPA mutation and RUNX1::RUNX1T1 fusion gene. Our study demonstrated the clinical characteristics and the role of DNM2 mutations in AML, which might facilitate understanding the pathogenesis of AML.

Project description:TP53 is a key tumor suppressor gene with protean functions associated with preservation of genomic balance, including regulation of cellular senescence, apoptotic pathways, metabolism functions, and DNA repair. The vast majority of de novo acute myeloid leukemia (AML) present unaltered TP53 alleles. However, TP53 mutations are frequently detected in AML related to an increased genomic instability, such as therapy-related (t-AML) or AML with myelodysplasia-related changes. Of note, TP53 mutations are associated with complex cytogenetic abnormalities, advanced age, chemoresistance, and poor outcomes. Recent breakthroughs in AML research and the development of targeted drugs directed at specific mutations have led to an explosion of novel treatments with different mechanisms. However, optimal treatment strategy for patients harboring TP53 mutations remains a critical area of unmet need. In this review, we focus on the incidence and clinical significance of TP53 mutations in de novo and t-AML. The influence of these alterations on response and clinical outcomes as well as the current and future therapeutic perspectives for this hardly treatable setting are discussed.

Project description:Hypomethylating agents are a classical frontline low-intensity therapy for older patients with acute myeloid leukemia. Recently, TP53 gene mutations have been described as a potential predictive biomarker of better outcome in patients treated with a ten-day decitabine regimen., However, functional characteristics of TP53 mutant are heterogeneous, as reflected in multiple functional TP53 classifications and their impact in patients treated with azacitidine is less clear. We analyzed the therapeutic course and outcome of 279 patients treated with azacitidine between 2007 and 2016, prospectively enrolled in our regional healthcare network. By screening 224 of them, we detected TP53 mutations in 55 patients (24.6%), including 53 patients (96.4%) harboring high-risk cytogenetics. The identification of any TP53 mutation was associated with worse overall survival but not with response to azacitidine in the whole cohort and in the subgroup of patients with adverse karyotype. Stratification of patients according to three recent validated functional classifications did not allow the identification of TP53 mutated patients who could benefit from azacitidine. Systematic TP53 mutant classification will deserve further exploration in the setting of patients treated with conventional therapy and in the emerging field of therapies targeting TP53 pathway.

Project description:Prognostic factors associated with chemotherapy outcomes in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) are extensively reported, and one gene whose mutation is recognized as conferring resistance to several newer targeted therapies is protein tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor type 11 (PTPN11). The broader clinical implications of PTPN11 mutations in AML are still not well understood. The objective of this study was to determine which cytogenetic abnormalities and gene mutations co-occur with PTPN11 mutations and how PTPN11 mutations affect outcomes of patients treated with intensive chemotherapy. We studied 1725 patients newly diagnosed with AML (excluding acute promyelocytic leukemia) enrolled onto the Cancer and Leukemia Group B/Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology trials. In 140 PTPN11-mutated patient samples, PTPN11 most commonly co-occurred with mutations in NPM1, DNMT3A, and TET2. PTPN11 mutations were relatively common in patients with an inv(3)(q21q26)/t(3;3)(q21;q26) and a normal karyotype but were very rare in patients with typical complex karyotype and core-binding factor AML. Mutations in the N-terminal SH2 domain of PTPN11 were associated with a higher early death rate than those in the phosphatase domain. PTPN11 mutations did not affect outcomes of NPM1-mutated patients, but these patients were less likely to have co-occurring kinase mutations (ie, FLT3-ITD), suggesting activation of overlapping signaling pathways. However, in AML patients with wild-type NPM1, PTPN11 mutations were associated with adverse patient outcomes, providing a rationale to study the biology and treatment approaches in this molecular group. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT00048958 (CALGB 8461), #NCT00899223 (CALGB 9665), and #NCT00900224 (CALGB 20202).

Project description:Mutation of the tumor suppressor gene, TP53, is associated with abysmal survival outcomes in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Although it is the most commonly mutated gene in cancer, its occurrence is observed in only 5-10% of de novo AML, and in 30% of therapy related AML (t-AML). TP53 mutation serves as a prognostic marker of poor response to standard-of-care chemotherapy, particularly in t-AML and AML with complex cytogenetics. In light of a poor response to traditional chemotherapy and only a modest improvement in outcome with hypomethylation-based interventions, allogenic stem cell transplant is routinely recommended in these cases, albeit with a response that is often short lived. Despite being frequently mutated across the cancer spectrum, progress and enthusiasm for the development of p53 targeted therapeutic interventions is lacking and to date there is no approved drug that mitigates the effects of TP53 mutation. There is a mounting body of evidence indicating that p53 mutants differ in functionality and form from typical AML cases and subsequently display inconsistent responses to therapy at the cellular level. Understanding this pathobiological activity is imperative to the development of effective therapeutic strategies. This review aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the effects of TP53 on the hematopoietic system, to describe its varying degree of functionality in tumor suppression, and to illustrate the need for the adoption of personalized therapeutic strategies to target distinct classes of the p53 mutation in AML management.
