Abstract The fusion of ABL1 with BCR results in the hybrid BCR-ABL1 oncogene that encodes the constitutively active Bcr-Abl tyrosine kinase encountered in the majority of patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and in approximately 30% of pts with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL). Recently, the episomal amplification of ABL1 has been described in 6% of pts with T-ALL (Nat Genet2004;36:1084–9). Molecular analysis demonstrated the oncogenic fusion of ABL1 with the nuclear pore complex protein NUP214 (NUP214-ABL1). We screened 29 pts with T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma (T-LBL) and T-ALL for the presence of the NUP214-ABL1 fusion transcript by RT-PCR using specific primers for the 5 different transcripts thus far described. Three (10%) pts were found to express this fusion transcript, including 2 with T lymphoblastic lymphoma (NUP214 exon 31) and 1 with T-ALL (NUP214 exon 29). This was confirmed by direct sequencing in all cases. All pts received therapy with hyperCVAD and achieved a complete remission (CR). However, 2 of them died 6 and 9 months into therapy, respectively. One other pt remains in CR (19+ months) by morphologic and flow cytometry criteria. However, NUP214-ABL1 is still detectable in peripheral blood by nested PCR, thus suggesting minimal residual disease (MRD). We then studied the activity of the tyrosine kinase inhibitors imatinib and nilotinib in the NUP214-ABL1-expressing cell lines PEER and BE-13. Although PEER and BE-13 cell viability was reduced with both agents, the IC50 was almost 10-fold higher for imatinib (643 nM) than for nilotinib (68 nM) (F test, p<0.001), which parallels the 10− to 30− fold higher Abl kinase inhibitory activity of nilotinib compared to imatinib in BCR-ABL-expressing cells. Nilotinib also potently inhibited the cell proliferation of BE-13 cells (IC50 131 nM). In contrast, Jurkat cells, a T-ALL cell line which does not carry NUP214-ABL1, were remarkably resistant to both imatinib and nilotinib with an IC50 values greater than 5 μM indicating that the cytotoxicity mediated by both TKIs is not related to a general toxic effect on T-ALL cell lines. The inhibition of cellular proliferation by imatinib and nilotinib was associated with a dose- and time-dependent induction of apoptosis in both PEER and BE-13 cells. In Western blotting, higher inhibition of phospho-Abl and phospho-CRKL (a surrogate of Bcr-Abl kinase status) was observed in PEER cells upon exposure to nilotinib as compared with imatinib at their respective IC50 concentrations for cell growth inhibition. We conclude that NUP214-ABL1 can be detected in 10% of pts with T-cell malignancies and its detection can be used as a sensitive marker of MRD. Imatinib and nilotinib potently inhibits the growth of NUP214-ABL1-expressing cells. Given the higher Abl kinase inhibitory activity of nilotinib with respect to imatinib, this agent must be further investigated in clinical studies targeting patients with T-ALL and T-LBL expressing the NUP214-ABL1 fusion kinase.

Abstract Introduction: T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) is an aggressive hematologic malignancy accounting for 15% of pediatric and 25% of adult acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) cases. With current chemotherapies and transplantation therapy, there are still 25-50% T-ALL patients that suffer from relapse and have a poor outcome. MicroRNAs (miRNAs or miRs) are endogenous small non-coding RNAs (containing about 22 nucleotides in length). miRs function at posttranscriptional level as negative regulators of gene expression and exert their regulatory function through binding to target mRNAs and silencing gene expression. To better understand the pathogenesis and develop the new therapeutic targets of T-ALL, we have developed a Pten tumor suppressor knockout T-ALL mouse model and profiled miRs from the mouse Pten deficient T-ALL. miR-26b was one of the miRs that were found down-regulated in the mouse Pten deficient T-ALL. Recent studies showed that the aberrant expression of miR-26b is implicated in several types of cancer. The expression level of miR-26b and its role of in T-ALL, however, are unknown. We investigated if the expression level of miR-26b is aberrant in T-ALL and the effect of potentially altered expression on the growth of human T-ALL cells. Methods: We conducted miR array profiling to identify differentially expressed miRs in the mouse Pten deficient T-ALLs compared with preneoplastic thymocyte controls. We validated expression levels of several miRs, including miR-26b, that are differentially expressed in mouse and human T-ALL cells using quantitative RT-PCR. We also overexpressed miR-26b using a lentivirus based vector in human T-ALL cell lines to assess its effect on cell growth and apoptosis. Results: Employing miR array profiling, we identified a subset of miRs that exhibited marked altered expression in the mouse Pten deficient T-ALL cells. Quantitative RT-PCR validated that the expression level of miR-26b in the mouse Pten deficient T-ALL cells was markedly lower in comparison to that of preneoplastic thymocytes. To determine if miR-26b expression level is also altered in human T-ALL, we performed quantitative RT-PCR on a panel of human T-ALL cell lines. Indeed, the expression level of miR-26b is significantly lower in the human T-ALL cell lines when compared with that of normal thymocytes. To functionally assess if miR-26b plays a role in the cell growth of human T-ALL cells, we expressed exogenous miR-26b in a panel of human T-ALL cell lines. We demonstrated that the expression of exogenous miR-26b significantly reduced the proliferation and promoted apoptosis of several human T-ALL cell lines. Conclusions: Our results demonstrated that miR-26b is down-regulated in T-ALL and the expression of exogenous miR-26b elicits deceased cell proliferation and increased apoptosis of human T-ALL. These results suggest that miR-26b may function as a tumor suppressor in the development of T-ALL and further characterization of the target and regulation of miR-26b may have therapeutic implications.

T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) is an aggressive form of leukemia with inferior treatment outcomes. The T-cell receptor (TCR) exists in two major forms: the 𝛂βTCR or the γδTCR, and 20-35% of T-ALL cases express either the 𝛂βTCR or the γδTCR (T-ALL𝛂β or T-ALLγδ). Using a published dataset from a cohort of 14 TCR+ T-ALL patients, I found a series of genes that are differentially expressed among patients T-ALL𝛂β or T-ALLγδ. Any number of these differentially expressed genes may be a scientifically and/or clinically actionable target in TCR+ T-ALL.
