Abstract Nucleophosmin (NPM) is a nucleolar protein with multi-functions including centromere duplication, nuclear-cytoplasmic shuttling, ribosomal biogenesis, p53 stability. NPM1 mutations were found in a large number of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) especially with normal karyotype. The mutations lead to the aberrant subcellular localization of NPM protein. However, their impacts on clinical outcome remain controversial. We screened the mutations of NPM1 in 257 AML patients and analyzed the clinical significance. NPM1 mutations were found in 64 of 257 patients (24.9%). Seven types of mutations, including four novel mutations, were identified. NPM1 mutations were associated with normal karyotype, FLT3 mutations (both FLT3-ITD and D835 mutation) but not with other gene alterations such as N-RAS, p53 mutations and partial tandem duplication of the MLL gene. In 190 patients except the M3 subgroup, who were treated according to the protocol of Japan Adult Leukemia Study Group, the multivariate analysis revealed that NPM1 mutation was a favorable factor for achieving complete remission, but significantly associated with relapse. A sequential analysis, using paired samples obtained at diagnosis and relapse in 39 patients, revealed that NPM1 mutations were lost at relapse in 2 of the seventeen patients who had NPM1 mutations at diagnosis and none of the patients, who did not have NPM1 mutations at diagnosis, gained NPM1 mutations at relapse. Our results suggest that NPM-mutated AML should be a distinct subgroup with specific clinical characteristics and outcome. Loss of NPM mutations at relapse implies that NPM mutation is not necessarily a primary genetic alteration and that these leukemic clones could be sensitive to chemotherapy.

Abstract Chronic myeloproliferative diseases (CMPD) are clonal disorders of pluripotent hematopoietic stem cells. Acquired JAK2 V617F point mutation has recently been identified as disease causing activating genetic abnormality in classic BCR-ABL negative CMPD (80% of polycythemia vera, 35% of essential thrombocythemia and 50% of chronic idiopathic myelofibrosis cases). JAK2 V617F is rare in other myeloid stem cell disorders like acute myeloid leukemia, chronic myelomonocyter leukemia or myelodysplasia with reported frequency of 3–8%. Between January 2001 and December 2005 155 consecutive adult patients [87 females and 68 males, median age of onset was 49±14 (range 18–83) years] were diagnosed with AML in our institute. Peripheral blood or bone marrow samples drawn at the time point of diagnosis were analyzed for the presence of JAK2 V617F by allele-specific PCR. JAK2 V617F mutation was present in 5 patients (3 males and 2 females; 3.2%). 3 of the 5 patients had prior history of CMPD, while 2 patients were diagnosed with de novo AML. The clinical characteristics and laboratory features of JAK2 V617F positive patients are shown in Table 1. FLT3 internal tandem duplication, FLT3 tyrosine kinase domain mutations, AML1-ETO, CBFB-MYH, PML-RARA rearrangements or nucleophosmin mutations were not present at the time point of AML diagnosis. In the case of patient 1, thrombocytosis was present prior the diagnosis of AML, and bone marrow biopsy revealed grade 3 fibrosis at diagnosis of AML, suggesting the presence of an atypical CMPD with the coexistence of del(5q) MDS. Patient 2 had no remarkable disease in his previous medical history. Induction therapy resulted in complete hematological and cytogenetic remission with persistent JAK2 V617F positivity. 10 month later clinical features of CMPD (elevated white blood cell count, left shifted peripheral blood smear, hepatosplenomegaly) appeared. In conclusion, these two cases suggest that acute myeloid leukemia with JAK-2 V617F mutation in fact corresponds to the blastic transformation of a clinically atipical chronic myeloproliferative disorders.
