Purpose To define the biology driving the aggressive nature of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in elderly patients. Patients and Methods Clinically annotated microarray data from 425 patients with newly diagnosed de novo AML from two publicly available data sets were analyzed after age-specific cohorts (young ≤ 45 years, n = 175; elderly ≥ 55 years; n = 144) were prospectively identified. Gene expression analysis was conducted utilizing gene set enrichment analysis, and by applying previously defined and tested signature profiles reflecting dysregulation of oncogenic signaling pathways and altered tumor environment. Results Elderly AML patients as expected had worse overall survival and event-free survival compared with younger patients. Analysis of oncogenic pathways revealed that older patients had higher probability of RAS, Src, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) pathway activation (all P < .0001). Hierarchical clustering revealed that younger patients with AML in cluster 2 had clinically worse survival, with high RAS, Src, and TNF pathway activation compared with patients in cluster 1. However, among elderly patients with AML, those in cluster 1 also demonstrated high RAS, Src, and TNF pathway activation but this did not translate into differences in survival. Conclusion AML in the elderly represents a distinct biologic entity characterized by unique patterns of deregulated signaling pathway variations that contributes to poor survival. These insights should enable development and adjustments of clinically meaningful treatment strategies in the older patient population.
