Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) comprise a diverse class of non-protein coding transcripts that regulate critical cellular processes associated with cancer. Advances in RNA-sequencing (RNA-Seq) have led to the characterization of non-coding RNA expression across different types of human cancers. Through comprehensive RNA-Seq profiling, a growing number of studies demonstrate that ncRNAs, including long non-coding RNA (lncRNAs) and microRNAs (miRNA), play central roles in progenitor B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) pathogenesis. Furthermore, due to their central roles in cellular homeostasis and their potential as biomarkers, the study of ncRNAs continues to provide new insight into the molecular mechanisms of B-ALL. This article reviews the ncRNA signatures reported for all B-ALL subtypes, focusing on technological developments in transcriptome profiling and recently discovered examples of ncRNAs with biologic and therapeutic relevance in B-ALL.

T-acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) is an aggressive hematological malignancy associated with poor outcome. To unravel gene-expression profile of immunophenotypic subtypes of T-ALL, we did transcriptome analysis in 35 cases. We also analyzed the prognostic relevance of 23 targets: protein-coding genes, histone modifiers and long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) expression profile, identified on RNA sequencing, on an independent cohort of 99 T-ALL cases. We found high expression of MEF2C to be associated with prednisolone resistance (p=0.048) and CD34 expression (p=0.012). BAALC expression was associated with expression of CD34 (p=0.032) and myeloid markers (p=0.021). XIST and KDM6a expression levels were higher in females (p=0.047 and 0.011, respectively). Post-induction minimal residual disease (MRD) positivity was associated with high lncRNA PCAT18 (p=0.04), HHEX (p=0.027) and MEF2C (p=0.007). Early thymic precursor (ETP-ALL) immunophenotype was associated with high expression of MEF2C (p=0.003), BAALC (p=0.003), LYL1 (p=0.01), LYN (p=0.01), XIST (p=0.02) and low levels of ST20 (p=0.007) and EML4 (p=0.03). On survival analysis, MEF2C high expression emerged as significant predictor of 3-year event free survival (EFS) (low 71.78+6.58% vs high 36.57+10.74%, HR 3.5, p=0.0003) and overall survival (OS) (low 94.77+2.96% vs high 78.75+8.45%, HR 4.88, p=0.016) in our patients. LncRNA MALAT1 low expression also emerged as predictor inferior OS (low 76.02+10.48 vs high 94.11+3.31, HR 0.22, p=0.027). Keywords: RNA-Sequencing, T-cell acute lymphoblastic Leukemia, Early thymic precursor, LncRNA, Gene expression profile.

Advances in RNA-sequencing (RNA-Seq) have led to the characterization of non-coding RNA expression across different types of human cancers. Through comprehensive RNA-Seq profiling, a growing number of studies demonstrate that ncRNAs, including long non-coding RNA (lncRNAs) and microRNAs (miRNA), play central roles in progenitor B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (B-ALL) pathogenesis. Furthermore, due to their central roles in cellular homeostasis and their potential as biomarkers, the study of ncRNAs continues to provide new insight into the molecular mechanisms of B-ALL. This article reviews the ncRNA signatures reported for all B-ALL subtypes, focusing on technological developments in transcriptome profiling and recently discovered examples of ncRNAs with biologic and therapeutic relevance in B-ALL.
