Project description:Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) in infants (<1 year) is characterized by a poor prognosis and a high incidence of MLL translocations. Several studies demonstrated the unique gene expression profile associated with MLL-rearranged ALL, but generally small cohorts were analyzed as uniform patient groups regardless of the type of MLL translocation, while the analysis of translocation-negative infant ALL remained unacknowledged. We generated and analyzed primary infant ALL expression profiles (n=73) typified by translocations t(4;11), t(11;19) and t(9;11), or the absence of MLL translocations, in order to study translocation-specific gene expression between the different genetic subtypes of infant ALL.

Project description:Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) in infants (<1 year of age) is characterized by a high incidence of MLL translocations which is associated with a poor prognosis. Contributing to this poor prognosis is cellular drug resistance, especially to glucocorticoids like prednisolone. Although in vitro prednisolone resistance mechanisms have been proposed in pediatric ALL, it has never been studied in MLL-rearranged infant ALL, which are highly resistant to glucocorticoids in vitro and in vivo. We analyzed primary MLL-rearranged infant ALL expression profiles, which were either in vitro prednisolone-resistant or prednisolone-sensitive, in order to study in vitro prednisolone resistance.

Project description:The aggressive MLL-rearranged leukemias are well-known for their unique gene-expression profiles. The goal of this study was to characterize the MLL-specific DNA methylation profiles in infant acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Genome-wide DNA methylation profiling was performed on primary infant ALL samples. The majority of infant ALL samples demonstrated severe DNA hypermethylation compared with normal pediatric bone marrows, which implies that targeting of DNA methylation may be an interesting option for future therapeutic strategies in MLL-rearranged infant ALL. Using ALL cell lines carrying the MLL translocation t(4;11) (SEMK2 and RS4;11) as a model for the patient cells, we demonstrated that the hypermethylated genes are sensitive to demethylation.

Project description:Extensive molecular and prognostic characterization of wild-type MLL infant ALL. Background: Approximately 20% of all infant ALL cases carry wild-type (or germline) MLL genes. To date, wild-type MLL infant ALL patients are generally regarded as young pediatric precursor B-ALL patients, but extensive characterization of this specific patient group largely remains unacknowledged. Methods: We here studied a relatively large cohort of 78 wild-type MLL infant ALL samples, using clinical parameters, array-comparative genomic hybridization analysis, gene expression profiling, multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification, and conventional sequencing. Findings: Wild-type MLL infant ALL patients are generally characterized by a lower incidence of favourable prognostic factors than pediatric (non-infant) B-ALL patients, and patients at high risk of therapy failure typically display an immature pro-B immunophenotype or respond poorly to prednisone. Using gene expression profiling, we found MEIS1 expression to additionally be highly predictive for clinical outcome in wild-type MLL infant ALL with a favourable prognosis in the wild-type MLL infants with low MEIS1 expression (DFS 88%% versus 50%, p=0•01). Overall the incidence of DNA copy number variations and genetic abnormalities in genes involved in B-cell differentiation is lower in wild-type MLL infant ALL patients as compared with pediatric precursor B-ALL patients. Interpretation: Wild-type MLL infant ALL represents a highly heterogeneous patient group, which cannot be unified by one or a few known recurrent genomic aberrations. High-level MEIS1 expression and an immature pro-B immunophenotype in high-risk wild-type MLL infant ALL patients shows parallel with the unfavourable prognosis of MLL-rearranged infant ALL patients. In contrast, wild-type MLL infant ALL patients expressing lower levels of MEIS1 and displaying more differentiated (pre-B or common) phenotypes may well be more related to pediatric precursor B-ALL patients older than 1 year of age. We advocate that a treatment strategy in wild-type MLL infant ALL based on MEIS1 expression could be beneficial for improving survival. Gene expression profiling of wild-type MLL infant ALL.

Project description:Infant and adult MLL-rearranged (MLLr) leukemia represents a disease with few treatment options and a dismal prognosis. Here, we present an in-depth proteomic characterization of in utero-initiated and adult-onset MLLr leukemia in a mouse model of MLL-ENL-mediated leukemogenesis. We characterize early proteomic events of MLL-ENL-mediated transformation in fetal and adult progenitors.

Project description:Genome editing provides a potential approach to model de novo leukemogenesis in primary human hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) through induction of chromosomal translocations by targeted DNA double-strand breaks. However, very low efficiency of translocations and lack of markers for translocated cells serve as barriers to their characterization and model development. Here we utilized TALENs to generate t(9;11) chromosomal translocations encoding MLL-AF9 and reciprocal AF9-MLL fusion products in CD34+ human cord blood cells. Selected cytokine combinations enabled monoclonal outgrowth and immortalization of initially rare translocated cells, which were distinguished by elevated MLL target gene expression, high surface CD9 expression, and increased colony forming ability. Subsequent transplantation into immune-compromised mice induced myeloid leukemias within 48 weeks, whose pathologic and molecular features extensively overlap with de novo patient MLL-rearranged leukemias. No evidence of secondary pathogenic mutations was revealed by targeted exome sequencing and whole genome RNA-seq analyses, suggesting the genetic sufficiency of t(9;11) translocation for leukemia development from human HSPCs. Thus, genome editing enables modeling of human acute MLL-rearranged leukemia in vivo reflecting the genetic simplicity of this disease and provides an experimental platform for biological and disease modeling applications.

Project description:Infant T-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia (iT-ALL) is a very rare and poorly defined entity with a poor prognosis. We assembled a unique series of thirteen cases of infants with T-ALL which allowed us to identify genotypic abnormalities and to investigate prenatal origins. Matched samples (diagnosis/remission) were analysed by SNP-array to identify genomic losses and gains. In three cases, we identified a recurrent somatic chromosome 3 deletion. These losses, confirmed by FISH, result in the complete deletion of MLF1, not previously described in T-ALL. We observed two cases with an 11p13 deletion (LMO2-related), one of which also harboured a deletion of RB1. Another case presented a large 11q14.1-11q23.2 deletion that included ATM and only five patients (38%) showed deletions of CDKN2A/B. Four cases showed NOTCH1 mutations, in one case FBXW7 was the sole mutation and three cases showed alterations in PTEN. MLL rearrangements (MLL-r) were detected in three out of thirteen cases. For three patients, mutations and CNAs could be backtracked to birth using neonatal blood spot DNA, demonstrating an in utero origin. Overall, our data indicates iT-ALL has a diverse but distinctive profile of genotypic abnormalities when compared to T-ALL in older children and adults. Affymetrix SNP6.0 arrays were performed according to the manufacturer's directions on DNA extracted from diagnostic bone marrow or peripheral blood samples. Copy number analyses of Affymetrix SNP6.0 arrays were performed for 13 infant T-ALL samples.
