    Abstract: Genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphism analysis has revealed large-scale cryptic regions of acquired homozygosity in the form of segmental uniparental disomy in ∼20% of acute myeloid leukemias. We have investigated whether such regions, which are the consequence of mitotic recombination, contain homozygous mutations in genes known to be mutational targets in leukemia. In 7 of 13 cases with uniparental disomy, we identified concurrent homozygous mutations at four distinct loci (WT1, FLT3, CEBPA, and RUNX1). This implies that mutation precedes mitotic recombination which acts as a “second hit” responsible for removal of the remaining wild-type allele, as has recently been shown for the JAK2 gene in myeloproliferative disorders.

    Abstract: Genome-wide analysis of single nucleotide polymorphisms in 64 acute myeloid leukemias has revealed that ∼20% exhibited large regions of homozygosity that could not be accounted for by visible chromosomal abnormalities in the karyotype. Further analysis confirmed that these patterns were due to partial uniparental disomy (UPD). Remission bone marrow was available from five patients showing UPD in their leukemias, and in all cases the homozygosity was found to be restricted to the leukemic clone. Two examples of UPD11p were shown to be of different parental origin as indicated by the methylation pattern of the H19 gene. Furthermore, a previously identified homozygous mutation in the CEBPA gene coincided with a large-scale UPD on chromosome 19. These cryptic chromosomal abnormalities, which seem to be nonrandom, have the characteristics of somatic recombination events and may define an important new subclass of leukemia.

    Abstract: A variety of genetic lesions, including chromosomal translocations, internal tandem duplications, and mutations, have been described in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Expression profiling has shown that chromosomal translocations, in particular, are associated with distinctive patterns of gene expression. AML exhibiting the translocation t(8;21), which fuses the AML1 and ETO genes, has such a characteristic expression profile. One gene whose expression is highly correlated with the presence of the AML1/ETO fusion is POU4F1, which encodes the POU homeodomain transcription factor BRN3A. Here we show using specific siRNA in t(8;21) cells and overexpression studies in progenitor cells that AML1/ETO promotes expression of POU4F1/BRN3A. This effect requires DNA-binding function of AML1/ETO, and accordingly, AML1/ETO is bound to the POU4F1 locus in t(8;21) cells. Functionally, whereas overexpression of Brn3a in murine hematopoietic progenitor cells induces terminal myeloid differentiation, coexpression of AML1/ETO or AML1/ETO9a blocks this effect. Furthermore, Brn3a reduction by shRNA impairs AML1/ETO-induced immortalization of murine progenitors. In summary, we identify POU4F1/BRN3A as a novel potential upregulated AML1/ETO target gene whose dramatically high expression may cooperate with AML1/ETO in t(8;21) cells.

    Abstract: Purpose: There is a need for new treatments for Hodgkin and T-cell lymphoma due to the development of drug resistance in a proportion of patients. This phase I study of radioimmunotherapy used CHT-25, a chimeric antibody to the α-chain of the interleukin-2 receptor, CD25, conjugated to iodine-131 (131I) in patients with refractory CD25-positive lymphomas. Experimental Design: Fifteen patients were treated (Hodgkin lymphoma, 12; angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma, 1; adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma, 2). Tumor was monitored by computed tomography and in all but two patients by 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography. Results: There were no grade 3 or 4 infusion reactions. At the maximum tolerated dose of 1,200 MBq/m2, the major side effect was delayed myelotoxicity with the nadir for platelets at 38 days and for neutrophils at 53 days. One patient treated with 2,960 MBq/m2 developed prolonged grade 4 neutropenia and thrombocytopenia and died of Pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia. Nonhematologic toxicity was mild. Single photon emission computer tomography imaging showed tumor-specific uptake and retention of 131I and no excessive retention in normal organs. Of nine patients receiving ≥1,200 MBq/m2, six responded (three complete response and three partial response); one of six patients with administered radioactivity of ≤740 MBq/m2 had a complete response. Conclusions: CHT-25 is well tolerated with 1,200 MBq/m2 administered radioactivity and shows clinical activity in patients who are refractory to conventional therapies. Phase II studies are justified to determine efficacy and toxicity in a broader range of clinical scenarios. (Clin Cancer Res 2009;15(24):7701–10)

    Abstract: Bortezomib is a proteasome inhibitor with proven efficacy in multiple myeloma and non–Hodgkin's lymphoma. This study reports the effects of bortezomib in B-cell lymphoma cell lines with differing sensitivity to bortezomib to investigate factors that influence sensitivity. Bortezomib induced a time- and concentration-dependent reduction in cell viability in five lymphoma cell lines, with EC50 values ranging from 6 nmol/L (DHL-7 cells) to 25 nmol/L (DHL-4 cells) after 72 h. Bortezomib cytotoxicity was independent of p53 function, as all cell lines exhibited mutations by sequence analysis. The difference in sensitivity was not explained by proteasome or nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) inhibition as these were similar in the most and least sensitive cells. NF-κB inhibition was less marked than that of a specific NF-κB inhibitor, Bay 11-7082. Cell cycle analysis showed a marked G2-arrested population in the least sensitive DHL-4 line only, an effect that was not present with Bay 11-7082 treatment. Conversely, in DHL-7 cells, bortezomib treatment resulted in cells moving into an aberrant mitosis, indicative of mitotic catastrophe that may contribute to increased sensitivity to bortezomib. These studies show that although bortezomib treatment had similar effects on apoptotic and NF-κB signaling pathways in these cell lines, different cell cycle effects were observed and induction of a further mechanism of cell death, mitotic catastrophe, was observed in the more sensitive cell line, which may provide some pointers to the difference in sensitivity between cell lines. An improved understanding of how DHL-7 cells abrogate the G2-M cell cycle checkpoint may help identify targets to increase the efficacy of bortezomib. [Cancer Res 2007;67(6):2783–90]

    Abstract: Although recent reports suggest that selenium can modulate the activity of cytotoxic drugs, the mechanism underlying this activity remains unclear. This has been investigated using a panel of human B-cell lymphoma cell lines. The cytotoxic effects of chemotherapeutic agents (e.g., doxorubicin, etoposide, 4-hydroperoxycyclophosphamide, melphalan, and 1-β-d-arabinofuranosylcytosine) were increased by up to 2.5-fold when combined with minimally toxic concentrations (EC5-10) of the organic selenium compound, methylseleninic acid (MSA). DNA strand breaks were identified using comet assays, but the measured genotoxic activity of the combinations did not explain the observed synergistic effects in cell death. However, minimally toxic (EC10) concentrations of MSA induced a 50% decrease in nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) activity after an exposure of 5 h, similar to that obtained with the specific NF-κB inhibitor, BAY 11-7082. Combinations of BAY 11-7082 with these cytotoxic drugs also resulted in synergism, suggesting that the chemosensitizing activity of MSA is mediated, at least in part, by its effects on NF-κB. Basal intracellular selenium concentration was higher in a MSA-sensitive cell line. After exposure to MSA, methylselenocysteine and selenomethionine were identified as the main intracellular species generated. Volatile selenium species, trapped using solid-phase microextraction fibers, were identified as dimethylselenide and dimethyldiselenide. These volatile species are thought to be the most biologically active forms of selenium. Taken together, these results show that the NF-κB pathway is one target for MSA underlying the interaction between MSA and chemotherapy. These data encourage the further clinical development of selenium as a potential modulator of cytotoxic drug activity in B-cell lymphomas. [Cancer Res 2007;67(22):10984–92]

    Abstract: Aurora kinases play a critical role in regulating mitosis and cell division, and their overexpression has been implicated in the survival and proliferation of human cancer. In this study, we report the in vitro and in vivo activities of AZD1152, a compound that has selectivity for aurora B kinase, in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cell lines, primary AML samples, and cord blood cells. AZD1152 exerted antiproliferative or cytotoxic effects in all cell lines studied, inhibited the phosphorylation of histone H3 (pHis H3) on Ser10 in a dose-dependent manner, and resulted in cells with & gt;4N DNA content. THP-1 cells treated with AZD1152 accumulated in a state of polyploidy and showed a senescent response to the drug, in contrast to the apoptotic response seen in other cell lines. Accordingly, AZD1152 profoundly affected the growth of AML cell lines and primary AML in an in vivo xenotransplantation model. However, concentration-dependent effects on cell growth, apoptosis, and cell cycle progression were also observed when human cord blood and primary lineage–negative stem and progenitor cells were analyzed in vitro and in vivo. These data suggest that the inhibition of aurora B kinase may be a useful therapeutic strategy in the treatment of AML and that further exploration of dosing and treatment schedules is warranted in clinical trials.
