    Abstract: Amyloid precursor protein (APP) has been reported to be highly expressed in AML1/ETO positive acute myeloid leukemia (AML1/ETO+ AML), and we found it express even higher in those with extramedullary infiltration in our previous study. But it’s still unknown what role APP plays and how it works in AML1/ETO+ AML. This study was designed to investigate the effect of APP gene on the prognosis and its molecular mechanism of extramedullary infiltration in the patients with AML1/ETO+ AML. 44 cases of AML1/ETO+ AML patients with median age of 29 years old, who were admitted to our hospital from February, 2006 to February, 2012 and made the diagnosis according to WHO2008 diagnosis standard, and had completed conventional induction, consolidation and intensive therapy, were investigated in this study. They were divided into high expression group (n=22) and low one (n=22) according to APP mRNA median expression level from bone marrow cells before the first chemotherapy by QRT-PCR. Some of bone marrow samples were checked by Western Blot, and 5 biopsy specimens from extramedullary infiltration were tested by APP antibody immunohistochemistry staining. Incidence of extramedullary leukemia (EML), complete response (CR), overall survival (OS), and recurrence free survival (RFS) was differentiated between the two groups. Differences of cell ultrastructure, migration, proliferation, apoptosis and expression of ERK, MMP-2, MMP-9 and CXCR4 were studied on Kasumi-1 cell line between wild, negative control (NC) and si-APP group in which the expression levels of APP gene were down regulated with application of siRNA technology.Çå The incidence of EML was significantly different (45.5% versus 9.1%) in the two groups (P=0.007) and it was positively correlative with the expression levels of APP mRNA (rp=0.435, P=0.004). Extramedullary infiltration site also showed high expression of APP by immunohistochemistry, while the control group was negative. Not only CR rate after two courses of chemotherapy, but also OS and RFS with median follow-up of 28(4-70) months, of high expression group was all significantly lower than that of low expression group (Table 1). Compared with the wild and NC group, cell apoptosis of si-APP group was significantly increased (12.33 ± 0.75 vs 19.80 ± 1.51, P=0.000); the number of microvilli on the surface of the cell membrane significantly reduced; the ability of the cell migration by Tanswell chamber migration assay significantly decreased (P=0.004); and expression of P-ERK, c-MYC, MMP-2 decreased significantly which was confirmed by ERK and c-MYC blocker treatment (Figure 1). In sum, incidence of EML is significantly higher and the prognosis is poor in the patients with AML1/ETO+ AML with high expression of APP gene. We first describe that APP gene may mediate AML1/ETO+ leukemia cells in the development of extramedullary infiltration by up-regulation of the ERK/MMP-2 pathway.

    Abstract: Amyloid precursor protein (APP) has been reported to be highly expressed in AML1-ETO-positive acute myeloid leukemia (AML1-ETO-positive AML), and we found it correlate with extramedullary infiltration regulated of by APP/ERK/MMP-2 signal pathway in our previous study. It is also known that C-KIT mutations highly expressed in AML1-ETO-positive AML and cooperates with full-length AML1-ETO to induce AML in mice. In this study we further described a close correlation of APP gene with C-KIT mutations, as well as APP related clinical and prognostic significance in 65 patients with AML1-ETO-positive AML. 65 cases of AML1-ETO-positive AML patients with median age of 30 years old, who were admitted to our hospital from February, 2006 to June, 2013 and made the diagnosis according to WHO2008 diagnosis standard, were enrolled into this study. APP expression in bone marrow cells before the first chemotherapy was assessed by quantitative reverse transcriptase (QRT)-PCR method. These cases were accordingly divided into APP-H group (n=33, with high level of APP by QRT-PCR) and APP-L group (n=32, with lower level of APP by QRT-PCR) according to median APP expression. Incidence of C-KIT mutations, clinical characteristics and prognosis including complete response (CR), overall survival (OS), and recurrence free survival (RFS) with median 35 (6-96) months followed-up was differentiated between the two groups. Furthermore, expression of APP and AML1/ETO fusion gene were simultaneously monitored at the time of 3, 6, 12 and 24 months or relapse after CR by QRT-PCR method. The incidence of C-KIT mutations was significantly increased in the APP-H group, as compared with the APP-L group (39.4% versus 12.5%) and it was positively correlative with APP expression (rp=0.435, P=0.004). Of the 17 patients harboring C-KIT mutations, 13 patients overexpressed APP gene (P=0.014) (Figure 1). Clinically, APP-H patients exhibited significantly elevated white blood cells count, increased extramedullary infiltration (P=0.039 and P=0.019, respectively). Moreover, APP overexpression was related to low rate of two-cycle CR, RFS and OS (P=0.020, P=0.001 and P=0.029, respectively) (Table 1). In addition, the change of APP expression was consistent with that of AML1-ETO fusion gene monitored by QRT-PCR method at different status of leukemia, though APP expressed differently in different patients with the same AML1-ETO expression. Taken together, these data suggest that APP gene is correlated with C-KIT mutations and indicates poor disease outcome and dynamic monitoring APP expression could be another choice of minimal residual disease monitoring in AML1-ETO-positive AML.

    Abstract: Abstract 4139 Background Herpesvirus infections of central nervous system (CNS) are associated with encephalitis/myelitis and other neurological syndromes as well as lymphoproliferative diseases in immunocompromised individuals. Diagnosis is mainly based on the detection of virus-DNA in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Recently, some studies demonstrate that herpesvirus-associated diseases have increased in recipients of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT), but these mainly focus on the systematic herpesvirus infections and lack of a large-sample prospective study of CNS herpesvirus infections. Methods The eligibility criteria are as following: (1)The patients after allo-HSCT; (2)The patients who were diagnosed as Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-associated diseases; (3)The patients with other herpesvirus-associated diseases other than EBV-associated diseases accompanying CNS manifestations; (4)The patients with unexplainable CNS manifestations. According to the criteria aforementioned, fifty-four of 250 patients undergoing allo-HSCT in our single institution between July 2008 and April 2012 were enrolled in this prospective study. Moreover, 18 patients with herpesvirus-DNA-emia who did not develop herpesvirus-associated diseases volunteered to have their CSF monitored (platelet 〉 50×109/L). Herpesvirus-DNA of CSF, blood and other body fluids was monitored by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Once herpesvirus-associated CNS diseases were considered, immunophenotypic analysis of CSF cells and magnetic resonance imaging scanning of CNS were performed. Results Twenty-four patients were diagnosed as herpesvirus-associated CNS diseases, including 8 EBV encephalitis, 7 EBV-associated CNS post-transplant lymphoproliferative diseases (PTLD), 5 herpes simplex virus type 1(HSV-1) encephalitis, 2 cytomegalovirus (CMV) encephalitis, 1 CMV myelitis and 1 varicella zoster virus(VZV) encephalitis, respectively. The EBV-DNA levels of CSF were significantly higher than that of blood (82457 ± 6126 copies/ml vs. 18517 ± 3906 copies/ml, P=0.030). The virus of CSF was consistent with the virus of blood in all patients except one patient with EBV-associated CNS-PTLD, who was EBV-DNA positive of CSF but CMV-DNA positive of blood. The median time of herpesvirus-associated CNS diseases onset was 79 days post-transplants and 70.8% cases occurred within 100 days post-transplants. The 3-year cumulative incidence of herpesvirus-associated CNS diseases and EBV-associated CNS diseases was 12.8±2.6% and 7.5±2.0%, respectively. With a median follow-up of 198 days after the diagnosis of herpesvirus-associated CNS diseases, 13 patients survived and 11 died. The causes of death were related with herpesvirus in 7 cases and not related with herpesvirus in 4 cases. Conclusions PCR detection of CSF virus-DNA is a sensitive and specific method for diagnosing herpesvirus-associated CNS diseases. EBV-associated CNS diseases are more common than other herpesvirus-associated CNS diseases in the early times of allo-HSCT. The EBV-DNA negative in blood could not exclude EBV-associated CNS diseases. Disclosures: No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

    Abstract: Background Early T-cell precursor (ETP) lymphoblastic leukemia (ETP-ALL) is a neoplasm with an unique T-cell immunophenotype indicating limited early T differentiation. Ph-like ALL is a B-cell neoplasm which lack BCR-ABL1 translocation but similar expression-pattern of the BCR-ABL1-positive ALL. The optimal therapeutic approaches for ETP-ALL and Ph-like ALL are poorly characterized. Chidamide is a novel and orally active benzamide class of histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDACi) and approved for peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL). Methods Based on the pediatric-inspired, PEG-L-asparaginase-intensified and MRD-directed PDT-ALL-2016 protocol, we designed two open-label, one-arm, multi-site trials, PDT-ETP-ALL (NCT03553238) and PDT-Ph-Like (NCT03564470), to evaluate the safety and effect of HDACi chidamide for adult ETP-ALL and Ph-Like-ALL group, respectively. The protocols were approved by Institutional Review Broad (IRB). Chidamide at a dose of 10mg/day will be added to ETP-ALL group from induction therapy to consolidation therapy according to PDT-ETP-ALL protocol. Chidamide and dasatinib will be added to HDACi cohort and TKI cohort, respectively, based on cytogenetics and next-generation-sequencing classification, according to PDT-Ph-Like protocol. Primary study endpoint is event-free survival and secondary study endpoints are complete remission (CR) and MRD after induction, adverse event and overall survival. Result Between FEB 2016 to DEC 2017, 24 patients with ETP-ALL were enrolled into PDT-ETP-ALL trial, 4 female patients and 20 male patients, a median age 22 years old (range, 14-22 years old). A total of 33 patients with Ph-like ALL has been enrolled into PDT-Ph-Like trial, 16 female patients and 17 male patients, a median age of 23 years old (range, 14-55 years old) 11 patients in TKI arm and 22 patients in HDACi arm. Ph-like ALL with CRLF2 high-expression, CRLF2/EPO/JAK2 rearrangement, JAK/STAT/IL-7R/SH2B3 mutation, will be assigned to HDACi arm. Targeted next-generation sequencing revealed ETP-ALL patients harbor high rates of mutations in factors involved in cytokine and JAK/STAT signaling pathway (62%), epigenetic regulation (52%) and hematopoietic development (35%). At the same time, we also performed NGS assessment with the same panel of Ph-like ALL patients. Of note, ETP-ALL and Ph-like ALL share the mutations involved in JAK/STAT signaling pathway (JAK1, JAK2, IL-7R) and histone modification (SETD2, KMT2A, EZH2, KMT2C), which might indicate the underlying mechanism of sensitivity of ETP-ALL and Ph-like ALL to HDACi chidamide. Chidadmide was well-tolerated in ETP-ALL and Ph-like ALL patients. Fatigue, nausea, vomit, neutropenia and thrombocytopenia are common chidamide-associated adverse events (AE) with Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) grade I-II. Complete remission and Flow-MRD-negative rate after induction therapy for ETP-ALL and Ph-Like-ALL were 87% and 67%, 77% and 60%, respectively. Six patients with ETP-ALL (25%, 6/24) underwent allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT), and 11 patients with Ph-like ALL received allo-HSCT. With a median follow-up of 20 months (range, 7-31 months), estimated 2-year event-free-survival (EFS) of ETP-ALL and Ph-like ALL is 83%, 70%, respectively. Conclusion: Our preliminary data of PDT-ETP-ALL and PDT-Ph-like ALL trials suggest that a novel HDACi chidamide is effective and well-tolerated in adult ETP-ALL and Ph-like ALL, which deserve further extended clinical trial.

    Abstract: Aggressive natural killer leukemia (ANKL), previously being classified as large granular lymphocyte (LGL) leukemia or malignant histiocytosis, is a rare subset neoplasm with high aggressive clinical course. Until now, apart from clinical feature, the frequent chromosome aberrations, somatic genes mutations, signal pathway and the optimal treatment regimen are still poor understood. Patient and Methods A retrospective analysis was performed upon review of clinical database, including additional immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining and integrated mutation analysis on reserved samples. Twelve samples of extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma-nasal type (ENKL-NT) were used in IHC analysis for control. Results A total of 26 cases were collected during 2001 to 2013, including 17 males and 9 females, median age of 28 years old (range 4-76 years old). Most patients presented with acute-onset high swinging fever (n=26), deteriorating jaundice (n=19) and pancytopenia (n=22) at diagnosis. The organ most frequently involved organs were bone marrow (n=25), liver (n=23), spleen (n=22) and gastrointestinal (n=6). Disseminated intravascular coagulopathy (DIC) was present in 15 out of 26 patients, significantly associated with liver involvement and jaundice (p 〈 0.01). Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) viremia was present in 7 of 8 tested cases (5.12x10*,2-5.41x10*,6 copies/mL). The characteristic morphological appearance of ANKL in bone marrow smears were deep purple-red staining granules in cytoplasm and prominent vacuoles located in cytoplasm and/or nucleus. FACS demonstrated ANKL cells were CD2+cCD3+CD7+CD11b+/-CD11c+/-CD29+CD38+/-CD45+CD56+CD86+BCL-2+, CD3-TCR-cCD79a-cMPO-CD5-CD10-CD19-CD25-CD33-CD83-CD123-. Surprisingly, ANKL cells were negative for CD21, an established EBV receptor. Additional IHC on 14 reserved bone marrow samples revealed ANKL cells were strongly positive for LMP2A (n=14), LMP1 (n=11) and EBER (n=10). In ENKL-NT, LMP2A and LMP1 were moderately positive in 5 and 4 out of 12 cases, respectively. EBERs were detected in all ENKT-NT cases. Moreover, IHC analysis showed ANKL cells were strongly stained by CDK6 (n=13), MDM2 (n=14), CD44 (n=13), IFN-γ (n=14), slightly stained by CDK4 (n=2), negative for SH2 domain-containing inositol 5’-phosphatase-1 (SHIP-1), which is responsible for 2B4-mediated inhibition in NK cells. In ENKL-NT samples, CDK6 (n=11), MDM2 (n=9) and CD44 (n=8) were positive; furthermore, SHIP-1 was slightly positive in 4 samples. Chromosome aberrations were present in 7 patients, including dup1(q22q25), inv(3)(p21p25), del(3)(p13), t(3;11)(q21;q23), i(7)(q10), del(7)(q32), del(14)(q24), der(15)t(7;15)(q10;q10), -8, -12,+13,-18,+19,-22. Multiple somatic mutations were detected in 7 cases, including TET2 (D1938E, S69R, V292L, E1207D, G1391C, T1393K, Y1998X), FBXW7 (S427L,Q428K, D431E, R505C, Q508K, G517V, D775Y), CEBPA (E57D, N292K, S85I), FLT3 (M837I, E604X), KRAS (G77R, Q22H, G13D), PAX5 (P93T, A111S), PHF6 (R15S, S155X, V5F), DNMT3A (P602H, H613D), EGFR (E736X, S155X), IDH2 (K166M),SH2B3 (E190X), c-Kit (G812C), JAK1 (D775Y), NOTCH1 (A1701S). Only 1 out of 10 patients obtained partial remission after anthracycline-based or platinum-based regimens (CHOP, CHOP-Bleomycin, CDOP, EPOCH, HyperCVAD and ESHAP). Notably, two cases rapidly achieved durable complete remission after L-asparaginase-containing regimen (CHOP/PEG-L-asp and VDLP). Two patients received allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, one maintained durable remission and another died of invasive pulmonary infection before engraftment. The median overall survival of 26 cases was only 7.5 days (range 2-330 days). Conclusions ANKL is Trojan story about EBV and NK cells, being presented with strong evidence of EBV infection/transformation, highly aggressive clinical course and prominent chromosome/genomic instability, which deserves more research efforts to dissect the role of EBV, molecular cytogenetics make-up, signaling pathway of LMP1/LMP2A-PI3K/AKT-CDK6-MDM2 and optimal regimen such as L-asp-contained protocol for this rare leukemia subset.

    Abstract: It is known that SCF/c-kit signaling pathway is one of the most important pathways in regulating of cell proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis, which can be continuously activated by C-KIT mutation and then lead to cell proliferation increase or apoptosis decrease. Furthermore, we have proven in our previous study that amyloid precursor protein (APP) gene, which is reported to increase cell proliferation in some solid cancer, is correlated with C-KIT mutation and adversely affects the disease outcome in AML1-ETO-positive acute myeloid leukemia (AML1-ETO-positive AML). In this study we focus on the regulation of cell proliferation and apoptosis in AML1-ETO-positive leukemia by APP gene and its mechanism. APP and C-KIT expression in bone marrow cells before the first chemotherapy from the 65 patients with AML1-ETO-positive AML (Blood. 2014,124:942) was simultaneously assessed by quantitative reverse transcriptase (QRT)-PCR method, meanwhile, the correlation of APP expression with peripheral WBC count, and the rate of bone marrow cellularity and blasts were observed. Furthermore, kasumi-1 cell line was chosen as cell model, and APP gene was knocked down using siRNA technology. The correlation of cell proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis with APP expression, as well as the regulation of SCF/c-kit signaling pathway by APP gene was analyzed on the cell line. WBC count and bone marrow cellularity, but not bone marrow blasts, was correlated with APP expression, in that a higher WBC count (29.2±3.9·109/L) was observed in APP-H patients when compared with 17.9±2.9·109/L in APP-L patients (P=0.008), and a higher percentage of bone marrow cellularity in APP-H patients (86.7%±1.7%) versus 80.3%±2.3% in APP-L cases (P=0.031). Moreover, the level of C-KIT mRNA expression was positively correlated with APP expression (r=0.349, P=0.011). In kasumi-1 cell line, compared with wild type and negative control cells, cell apoptosis, both early and late, increased significantly when APP gene was knocked down (Figure 1)., however, not apparently change was observed in cell proliferation and differentiation. What's more, C-KIT expression at both transcription (as evidenced by RTQ¨CPCR analysis) and translation (as confirmed by CD117 assay) levels, as well as BCL-2, C-KIT, p-ERK, p-AKT, P53 and NF-κB (as evidenced by western blot analysis, Figure 2), decreased significantly when APP was knocked down. In conclusion, APP gene involves in the regulation of cell apoptosis but not proliferation in AML1-ETO-positive leukemia via SCF/c-kit signaling pathway. Figure 1. Flow cytometry analysis of cell apoptosis in kasumi-1 cells with different APP expression. Both the rate of early (Q4-2) and late apoptosis (Q2-2) in si-APP kasumi-1 cell increased significantly when compared with the rate in wild type and NC kasumi-1 cell (Early apoptosis rate: si-APP: 29.00%±0.98%, wild type: 21.43%±0.86%, NC: 21.67%±0.78%, F=71.927, P 〈 0.001; Late apoptosis rate: si-APP: 19.80%±1.51%, wild type: 12.33%±0.75%, NC: 12.90%±1.25%, F=35.239, P 〈 0.001). Figure 1. Flow cytometry analysis of cell apoptosis in kasumi-1 cells with different APP expression.

    Abstract: Following the introduction of the tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) imatinib in treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients, the allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) scene in CML has changed dramatically. This retrospective cohort study was designed to compare medical outcomes of Imatinib mesylate and allo-HSCT for patients with CML in chronic phase. Patients and Methods From February 2002 to February 2012, 198 patients treated consecutively at the Nanfang Hospital,Southern Medical University were assigned to two groups according to treatment with imatinib or allo-HSCT. One hundred fifteen cases of imatinib group were given imatinib at an initial dose of 400mg daily and the dose was then adjusted according to the patient´s blood and therapy response. All the patients were evaluated for hematologic, cytogenetic and molecular response every 1-3months. Eighty-three cases of allo-HSCT group received myeloablative preconditioning regimen, and methotrexate (MTX) and cyclosporine A (CsA) were used for graft-versus-host disease(GVHD), parts combined with mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) and antihuman thymocyte globulin(ATG). The primary end points of the study were complete cytogenetic response (CCyR), relapse rate, overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) after therapy. Results In total, 59 (68.9%) patients treated over 12 months achieved a CCyR after 12 months in imatinib group, while 67 (95.7%) patients in allo-HSCT group. The relapse rates were 14.8% (n=17) in imatinib group and 10.8% (n=9) in allo-HSCT group (P=0.456). Ten-year cumulative OS rates were 93.9% in imatinib group and 77.1% in allo-HSCT group(P=0.015) and ten- year cumulative PFS rates of two groups were 86.1% vs.88.0%(P=0.508). For Sokal rating stratified analysis, the ten-year OS rates of two groups were 96.4% vs.68.0% (P = 0.049) for high-risk patients,92.6% vs. 57.1% (P = 0.019) for intermediate-risk patients , while the ten-year PFS rates of two groups were 89.3% vs. 88.0% for high-risk patients (P = 0.942), 70.4% vs. 85.7% for intermediate-risk patients (P = 0.405).The ten-year OS rates and PFS rates were not significant difference for low-risk patients. The cumulative OS rates of two groups were 94.7% vs. 73.5%(P=0.019)for the patients who were not less than 30 years old,and the cumulative PFS rates of two groups were 84.2% vs. 94.1% respectively (P=0.147). Conclusion Imatinib mesylate treatment is superior to allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for patients with chronic myeloid leukemia in chronic phase.
