    Abstract Chromothripsis, the process of catastrophic shattering and haphazard repair of chromosomes, is a common event in cancer. Whether chromothripsis might constitute an actionable molecular event amenable to therapeutic targeting remains an open question. We describe recurrent chromothripsis of chromosome 21 in a subset of patients in blast phase of a myeloproliferative neoplasm (BP-MPN), which alongside other structural variants leads to amplification of a region of chromosome 21 in ∼25% of patients ('chr21amp'). We report that chr21amp BP-MPN has a particularly aggressive and treatment-resistant phenotype. The chr21amp event is highly clonal and present throughout the hematopoietic hierarchy.

    Abstract -7/del(7q) is prevalent across subtypes of myeloid neoplasms. CUX1, located on 7q22, encodes a homeodomain-containing transcription factor, and, like -7/del(7q), CUX1 inactivating mutations independently carry a poor prognosis. As with loss of 7q, CUX1 mutations often occur early in disease pathogenesis. We reported that CUX1 deficiency causes myelodysplastic syndrome in mice but was insufficient to drive acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Given the known association between -7/del(7q) and RAS pathway mutations, we mined cancer genome databases and explicitly linked CUX1 mutations with oncogenic RAS mutations. To determine if activated RAS and CUX1 deficiency promote leukemogenesis, we generated mice bearing Nras

    Abstract Leukemia is a malignancy of the bone marrow and blood originating from self-renewing cancerous immature blast cells or transformed leukocytes. Despite improvements in treatments, leukemia remains still a serious disease with poor prognosis because of disease heterogeneity, drug resistance and relapse. There is emerging evidence that differentially expression of co-signaling molecules play a critical role in tumor immune evasion. Galectin-9 (Gal-9) is one of the key proteins that leukemic cells express, secrete, and use to proliferate, self-renew, and survive. It also suppresses host immune responses controlled by T and NK cells, enabling leukemic cells to evade immune surveillance. The present review provides the molecular mechanisms of Gal-9-induced immune evasion in leukemia. Understanding the complex immune evasion machinery driven by Gal-9 expressing leukemic cells will enable the identification of novel therapeutic strategies for efficient immunotherapy in leukemic patients. Combined treatment approaches targeting T-cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain-3 (Tim-3)/Gal-9 and other immune checkpoint pathways can be considered, which may enhance the efficacy of host effector cells to attack leukemic cells.

    Abstract Introduction: There are few large-scale, population-based studies detailing the risks of thrombosis, hemorrhage, leukemic transformation in patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs), including essential thrombocythemia (ET), polycythemia vera (PV), and primary myelofibrosis (PMF).
    Methods: We performed a nationwide longitudinal cohort study using the Korean National Health Insurance System (NHIS) database. MPN patients (n = 11,991) and their 1:4 age- and sex-matched controls (n = 47,964) were enrolled. The risk of thrombosis, hemorrhage, leukemic transformation was estimated using a Cox proportional hazards regression, and stratified analyses were performed for related factors.
    Results: During a median of 7.8 years of follow-up, 30.1 % of MPN patients (3614/11,991) and 19.0 % of the matched controls (9141/47,964) developed arterial thrombosis, 11.6 % of MPN patients (1397/11,991) and 6.4 % of the matched controls (3099/47,964) developed venous thrombosis and 18.7 % of MPN patients (2251/11,991) and 12.1 % of the matched controls (5836/47,964) developed hemorrhage. 4.9 % of MPN patients (597/11,991) and 0.1 % of matched controls (50/47,964) developed leukemia. The overall risk of developing thrombosis, hemorrhage, leukemic transformation was higher in MPN patients (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] 1.695, 95 % confidence interval [CI]: 1.629-1.765 for arterial thrombosis, aHR 1.963, 95 % CI: 1.838-2.096 for venous thrombosis, and aHR 1.714, 95 % CI: 1.630-1.802 for hemorrhage) than in the controls. Patients with MPNs had a 10-year cumulative incidence of leukemic transformation of 6.2 %.
    Conclusion: The patients with MPNs have a higher risk of thrombosis, hemorrhage, and leukemic transformation than matched controls. Strategies are warranted to reduce the risk of thrombosis, hemorrhage, and leukemic transformation in MPN patients.

    Abstract Abstract: Elevated MAPK and the JAK-STAT signaling play pivotal roles in the pathogenesis of chronic neutrophilic leukemia and atypical chronic myeloid leukemia. Although inhibitors targeting these pathways effectively suppress the diseases, they fall short in providing enduring remission, largely attributed to the cytostatic nature of these drugs. Even combinations of these drugs are ineffective in achieving sustained remission. Enhanced MAPK signaling besides promoting proliferation and survival triggers a proapoptotic response. Consequently, malignancies reliant on elevated MAPK signaling use MAPK feedback regulators to intricately modulate the signaling output, prioritizing proliferation and survival while dampening the apoptotic stimuli. Herein, we demonstrate that enhanced MAPK signaling in granulocyte colony-stimulating factor 3 receptor (CSF3R)-driven leukemia upregulates the expression of dual specificity phosphatase 1 (DUSP1) to suppress the apoptotic stimuli crucial for leukemogenesis. Consequently, genetic deletion of Dusp1 in mice conferred synthetic lethality to CSF3R-induced leukemia. Mechanistically, DUSP1 depletion in leukemic context causes activation of JNK1/2 that results in induced expression of BIM and P53 while suppressing the expression of BCL2 that selectively triggers apoptotic response in leukemic cells. Pharmacological inhibition of DUSP1 by BCI (a DUSP1 inhibitor) alone lacked antileukemic activity due to ERK1/2 rebound caused by off-target inhibition of DUSP6. Consequently, a combination of BCI with a MEK inhibitor successfully cured CSF3R-induced leukemia in a preclinical mouse model. Our findings underscore the pivotal role of DUSP1 in leukemic transformation driven by enhanced MAPK signaling and advocate for the development of a selective DUSP1 inhibitor for curative treatment outcomes.

    Abstract The role of splicing dysregulation in cancer is underscored by splicing factor mutations; however, its impact in the absence of such rare mutations is poorly understood. To reveal complex patient subtypes and putative regulators of pathogenic splicing in Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), we developed a new approach called OncoSplice.

    Abstract: ... associated with aberrant transcriptional activity and transformation of hematopoietic stem and ...

    Abstract NUP98 fusion oncoproteins (FO) are drivers in pediatric leukemias and many transform hematopoietic cells. Most NUP98 FOs harbor an intrinsically disordered region from NUP98 that is prone to liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) in vitro. A predominant class of NUP98 FOs, including NUP98-HOXA9 (NHA9), retains a DNA-binding homeodomain, whereas others harbor other types of DNA- or chromatin-binding domains. NUP98 FOs have long been known to form puncta, but long-standing questions are how nuclear puncta form and how they drive leukemogenesis. Here we studied NHA9 condensates and show that homotypic interactions and different types of heterotypic interactions are required to form nuclear puncta, which are associated with aberrant transcriptional activity and transformation of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells. We also show that three additional leukemia-associated NUP98 FOs (NUP98-PRRX1, NUP98-KDM5A, and NUP98-LNP1) form nuclear puncta and transform hematopoietic cells. These findings indicate that LLPS is critical for leukemogenesis by NUP98 FOs.
    Significance: We show that homotypic and heterotypic mechanisms of LLPS control NUP98-HOXA9 puncta formation, modulating transcriptional activity and transforming hematopoietic cells. Importantly, these mechanisms are generalizable to other NUP98 FOs that share similar domain structures. These findings address long-standing questions on how nuclear puncta form and their link to leukemogenesis. This article is highlighted in the In This Issue feature, p. 873.
