Impact de la biologie sur la prise en charge des LAL de l’enfant et de l’adolescent : une vue du clinicien
Robert Debré, Février 2013
Acute leukemias • Malignant process involving a lymphoid or myeloid marrow precursor cell Heterogeneous collection of diseases
• Associated to deregulation of fundamental processes: – proliferation – differentiation – senescence – apoptosis
Acquired genetic abnormalities
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia • Malignant tranformation of a cell which is a precursor of a lymphocyte B-lineage ALL (85%) or T-Lineage ALL (15%)
• Acquired genetic/epigenetics abnormalities – drive a differentiation blockade – leading to phenotypic variation from very immature to more mature precursors

The patient, the disease, their interactions THE PATIENT
THE LEUKEMIC CELL
- known predisposed background : - e.g. Down syndrome - not known: - genetic polymorphisms e.g. drug metabolism variability
- morphology - immuno-phenotyping - classical and molecular cytogenetics - targeted molecular biology - global approaches: transcriptomics, CGH array, SNP, GW sequencing, epigenetics, protéomics
Interactions with stroma Neoangiogenesis Immune response
Contribution of cytomorphology and immuno-phenotyping • Cytology/ cytochemistry: – diagnosis – differentiate a rare form: L3 ALL: Burkitt’s leukemia • Immunophenotype (20-30 Mab): – diagnostic confirmation – discriminate BCP vs T-cell ALL – rare entities ex: pro-B ALL (CD10-) – can suggest a cytogenetic abnormality – can define tools for MRD detection
Cytogenetics and Molecular biology • Abnormalities (modal number, structure) (translocations+++) – Classical Karyotype (G/R banding) – FISH, chromosome painting
• RT(Q)-PCR detection of – Chimeric transcripts – Overexpression of a normal transcript
• Near future: CGH-array? SNPs? Exome seq? transcriptomics?

How to integrate a priori and a posteriori prognostic informations?
Integrated use of MRD classification and IKZF1 alt. accurately predicts 79% of relapses in pediatric ALL. • MRD and IKZF1 in 131 uniformly treated precursor-B-ALL patients
• Improvement of risk stratification by combining both? • Results • strong prognostic significance of MRD classification, independent of IKZF1 alterations • 8 / 11 relapsed cases in the large MRD-M group (n=81; 62%) :IKZF1 alteration+ • Integration of both MRD and IKZF1 status - resulted in a favorable outcome group (n=104; 5 relapses) and a poor outcome group (n=27; 19 relapses), - showed a stronger prognostic value than each of the 2 alone (hazard ratio (95%CI): 24.98 (8.29-75.31)). • MRD and IKZF1 status alone identified only 46 and 54% of the relapses, respectively.Their integrated use allowed prediction of 79% of all the relapses with 93% specificity.

GENE-ENVIRONNEMENT INTERACTION
Identification of fusion gene in neonatal blood spots of patients with TEL-AML1 leukemia.
The TEL-AML1 sequence is first determined by long range PCR, then oligonucleotide primers are designed for that unique sequence and for use in short range (conventional) PCR.
IN UTERO ORIGIN OF LEUKEMIA
Current knowledge and questions(1) 1. A potential oncogenic event has been demonstrated for : • Twins (MLL /R , TEL-AML1, T-ALL) • Non twins (R/MLL, TEL-AML1, RIgHBCP-ALL)
IN UTERO ORIGIN OF LEUKEMIA

5. Environmental agents?
Whole-exome sequencing of pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia. • Sequencing of the whole exome of two cases of pediatric ALL carrying the ETV6/RUNX1 (TEL/AML1) fusion gene • 14 somatic mutations identified, including 4 and 7 proteinaltering nucleotide substitutions in each ALL. • 12 mutations (86%) occurred in genes previously described to be mutated in other types of cancer • 0 found to be recurrent in an extended series of 29 ETV6/RUNX1-positive ALLs.

WHY? • No direct answer • Genome Wide Association Studies (GWAS) – IKZF1 – ARID5B (Hyperdiploidy ++) – CEBPE
• Clear associations, at a genome-wide threshold of 5 x10-7, between ALL and SNPs flanking the Ikaros family zinc finger 1 gene (IKZF1) in 7p12.2 (rs6964823, rs4132601, rs6944602 or rs11978267), and the AT-rich interactive domain 5b gene (ARID5B) in 10q21.2 (rs7073837, rs10740055, rs708942, or rs10821936, rs10994982). The association with ARID5B was more pronounced for hyperdiploid ALL than for other ALL in both GWAS. In the UK study, the SNP rs2239633 in the CCAAT/enhancerbinding protein epsilon gene (CEBPE) was also associated with ALL. Papaemmanuil et al, Nature Genet 2009 Trevino LR et al, Nature Genet 2009.
Why the relapse? • Clonal heterogeneity of ALL and origin of relapse – Same clone – Same clone with evolution – Different clone with common ancestor – Completely different ALL

Ikaros plays a key role in tumor suppression in pediatric B-cell ALL and in particular in high-risk B-cell ALL (1). 1. Deletion of a single Ikzf1 allele or mutation of a single copy of Ikzf1 detected in 15% of all cases of pediatric Bcell ALL. 2. Resulted in haploinsufficiency of the Ikzf1 gene, along with expression of a functionally inactive form of Ikaros which could potentially act as a dominant negative form. 3. Deletion or mutation of a single copy of the Ikzf1 allele detected in over 80% of BCR-ABL1 ALL, associated with a poor outcome. 4. Haploinsufficiency of Ikzf1 associated with a three-fold increase in relapse of ALL following treatment.
Ikaros plays a key role in tumor suppression in pediatric B-cell ALL and in particular in high-risk B-cell ALL (2). 5. Expression profiles of BCR-ABL1 negative cases with haploinsufficiency of Ikzf1 and poor prognosis noted to have similar expression profiles to BCRABL1 positive ALL: definition of the BCR-ABL1-like subtype of B-cell ALL with haplo-insufficiency of Ikzf1 or other transcriptional regulators. 6. Inherited genetic variations of Ikzf1 : associated with the risk of childhood ALL 7. CRLF2 overexpression: significantly associated with JAK mutations and with deletions or mutations of Ikzf1. 8. Functional, leukemogenic significance of Ikzf1 haploinsufficiency and/or expression of dominant-negative Ikaros isoforms confirmed by several animal models. These models demonstrated that the expression of the dominant negative Ikzf1 allele in CD34+ cells results in impaired lymphoid differentiation.These models also demonstrate that the haploinsufficiency of Ikzf1 accelerates the development of leukemia in both retrovirally transduced bone marrow transplants and in a transgenic model of BCR-ABL1 ALL
Conclusion about IKAROS • Ikaros acts as a highly clinically-relevant tumor suppressor in B-cell ALL and particularly in highrisk B-cell ALL •A modest decrease in Ikaros activity (e.g. haploinsufficiency) is sufficient to contribute to leukemogenesis
Phosphorylation regulates the tumor suppressor function of Ikaros CK2 kinase directly phosphorylates and functionally inactivates Ikaros PP1 phosphatase counteracts this process. Functional inactivation of Ikaros by CK2 kinase promotes leukemogenesis.
