    Abstract Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) disseminates with high prevalence to the central nervous system (CNS) in a process resembling aspects of the CNS surveillance of normal immune cells as well as aspects of brain metastasis from solid cancers. Importantly, inside the CNS, the ALL blasts are typically confined within the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)-filled cavities of the subarachnoid space, which they use as a sanctuary protected from both chemotherapy and immune cells. At present, high cumulative doses of intrathecal chemotherapy are administered to patients, but this is associated with neurotoxicity and CNS relapse still occurs. Thus, it is imperative to identify markers and novel therapy targets specific to CNS ALL. Integrins represent a family of adhesion molecules involved in cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions, implicated in the adhesion and migration of metastatic cancer cells, normal immune cells, and leukemic blasts. The ability of integrins to also facilitate cell-adhesion mediated drug resistance, combined with recent discoveries of integrin-dependent routes of leukemic cells into the CNS, have sparked a renewed interest in integrins as markers and therapeutic targets in CNS leukemia. Here, we review the roles of integrins in CNS surveillance by normal lymphocytes, dissemination to the CNS by ALL cells, and brain metastasis from solid cancers. Furthermore, we discuss whether ALL dissemination to the CNS abides by known hallmarks of metastasis, and the potential roles of integrins in this context.

    Abstract Despite the excellent prognosis for children and adolescents with acute lymphoblastic lymphoma (ALL), the involvement of the central nervous system (CNS) represents a major therapeutic challenge. Patients who develop CNS relapse have a very poor prognosis, and since current methods cannot reliably identify patients with CNS involvement or patients at high risk of CNS relapse, all children with ALL receive CNS-directed treatment. The current golden standard for detecting CNS involvement is the assessment of cytomorphology on cytospin slides of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). This technique is inadequate due to low sensitivity and reproducibility. Flow cytometric analysis of CSF represent a novel, highly specific and sensitive technique for the detection of leukemic cells in the CNS. In prospective studies, CSF flow cytometry demonstrated two to three times higher rates of CNS involvement at diagnosis of childhood ALL than conventional cytospin, and especially demonstrated superior sensitivity in detecting low-level CNS disease. CNS involvement determined via flow cytometry has been linked to a higher risk of CNS relapse and poor outcomes in several studies. In this review, we discuss the central analytical concepts of CSF flow cytometry and summarize the current evidence supporting the use of flow cytometric detection of malignant blasts as a biomarker of CNS involvement in childhood ALL.

    Abstract Next-generation sequencing (NGS) methods have been introduced for immunoglobulin (IG)/T-cell receptor (TR) gene rearrangement analysis in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and lymphoma (LBL). These methods likely constitute faster and more sensitive approaches to analyze heterogenous cases of ALL/LBL, yet it is not known whether gene rearrangements constituting low percentages of the total sequence reads represent minor subpopulations of malignant cells or background IG/TR gene rearrangements in normal B-and T-cells. In a comparison of eight cases of B-cell precursor ALL (BCP-ALL) using both the EuroClonality NGS method and the IdentiClone multiplex-PCR/gene-scanning method, the NGS method identified between 29% and 139% more markers than the gene-scanning method, depending on whether the NGS data analysis used a threshold of 5% or 1%, respectively. As an alternative to using low thresholds, we show that IG/TR gene rearrangements in subpopulations of cancer cells can be discriminated from background IG/TR gene rearrangements in normal B-and T-cells through a combination of flow cytometry cell sorting and multiple displacement amplification (MDA)-based whole genome amplification (WGA) prior to the NGS. Using this approach to investigate the clonal evolution in a BCP-ALL patient with double relapse, clonal TR rearrangements were found in sorted leukemic cells at the time of second relapse that could be identified at the time of diagnosis, below 1% of the total sequence reads. These data emphasize that caution should be exerted when interpreting rare sequences in NGS experiments and show the advantage of employing the flow sorting of malignant cell populations in NGS clonality assessments.

    Abstract Background: Excessive inflammation and recurrent airway infections characterize people with cystic fibrosis (pwCF), a disease with highly heterogeneous clinical outcomes. How the overall immune response is affected in pwCF, its relationships with the lung microbiome, and the source of clinical heterogeneity have not been fully elucidated.
    Methods: Peripheral blood and sputum samples were collected from 28 pwCF and an age-matched control group. Systemic immune cell subsets and surface markers were quantified using multiparameter flow cytometry. Lung microbiome composition was reconstructed using metatranscriptomics on sputum samples, and microbial taxa were correlated to circulating immune cells and surface markers expression.
    Results: In pwCF, we found a specific systemic immune profile characterized by widespread hyperactivation and altered frequencies of several subsets. These included substantial changes in B-cell subsets, enrichment of CD35
    Conclusion: The CF-specific immune signature, involving hyperactivation, immune dysregulation with alteration in Treg homeostasis, and impaired B-cell function, is a potential source of lung function heterogeneity. The activity of specific microbes contributes to disrupting the balance of the immune response. Our data provide a unique foundation for identifying novel markers and immunomodulatory targets to develop the future of cystic fibrosis treatment and management.

    Abstract Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) is the most common cancer in childhood. Despite a significantly improved prognosis over the last decade with a 5-years survival rate of ~90%, treatment-related morbidity remains substantial and relapse occurs in 10-15% of patients (1). The most common site of relapse is the bone marrow, but early colonization and subsequent reoccurrence of the disease in the central nervous system (CNS) also occurs. Integrins are a family of cell surface molecules with a longstanding history in cancer cell adherence, migration and metastasis. In chronic lymphoblastic leukemia (CLL), the VLA-4 integrin has been acknowledged as a prognostic marker and mounting evidence indicates that this and other integrins may also play a role in acute leukemia, including ALL. Importantly, integrins engage in anti-apoptotic signaling when binding extracellular molecules that are enriched in the bone marrow and CNS microenvironments. Here, we review the current evidence for a role of integrins in the adherence of ALL cells within the bone marrow and their colonization of the CNS, with particular emphasis on mechanisms adding to cancer cell survival and chemoresistance.

    Abstract Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a potential cure for patients with hematological malignancies but substantial risks of recurrence of the malignant disease remain. TCR γδ and NK cells are perceived as potent innate effector cells in HSCT and have been associated with post-transplant protection from relapse in clinical studies. Immunocompetent cells from the donor are crucial for patient outcomes and peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) are being increasingly applied as graft source. G-CSF is the preferential mobilizing agent in healthy donors for PBSC grafts, yet effects of G-CSF on TCR γδ and NK cells are scarcely uncovered and could influence the graft composition and potency of these cells. Therefore, we analyzed T and NK cell subsets and activation markers in peripheral blood samples of 49 donors before and after G-CSF mobilization and-for a subset of donors-also in the corresponding graft samples using multicolor flowcytometry with staining for CD3, CD4, CD8, TCRαβ, TCRγδ, Vδ1, Vδ2, HLA-DR, CD45RA, CD197, CD45RO, HLA-DR, CD16, CD56, and CD314. We found that TCR γδ cells were mobilized and harvested with an efficiency corresponding that of TCR αβ cells. For TCR γδ as well as for TCR αβ cells, G-CSF preferentially mobilized naïve and terminally differentiated effector (TEMRA) cells over memory cells. In the TCR γδ cell compartment, G-CSF preferentially mobilized cells of the nonVδ2 types and increased the fraction of HLA-DR positive TCR γδ cells. For NK cells, mobilization by G-CSF was increased compared to that of T cells, yet NK cells appeared to be less efficiently harvested than T cells. In the NK cell compartment, G-CSF-stimulation preserved the proportion of CD56dim NK effector cells which have been associated with relapse protection. The expression of the activating receptor NKG2D implied in anti-leukemic responses, was significantly increased in both CD56dim and CD56bright NK cells after G-CSF stimulation. These results indicate differentiated mobilization and altering properties of G-CSF which could improve the effects of donor TCR γδ and NK cells in the processes of graft-versus-leukemia for relapse prevention after HSCT.

    Abstract Purpose: Patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) have increased risk of severe infections. Although adaptive immune dysfunction is well described, clinical tools for identifying patients at risk are lacking, warranting investigation of additional immune components. In contrast to chemotherapy, targeted agents could spare or even improve innate immune function. Therefore, we investigated innate immune phenotypes and function in patients with CLL before and during targeted treatment.
    Experimental design: Baseline and consecutive blood samples were collected from patients with CLL treated with acalabrutinib (n = 17) or ibrutinib+venetoclax (n = 18) in clinical trials. Innate immune function was assessed by TruCulture, a whole-blood ligand-stimulation assay quantifying cytokine release in response to standardized stimuli. Innate immune phenotypes were characterized by flow cytometry. As a proxy for infections, we mapped antimicrobial use before and during treatment.
    Results: At baseline, patients with CLL displayed impaired stimulated cytokine responses to the endotoxin lipopolysaccharide (LPS) along with deactivated monocytes, enrichment of myeloid-derived suppressor cells and metamyelocytes, and elevated (unstimulated) proinflammatory cytokines. Two/three cycles of acalabrutinib or ibrutinib normalized LPS-stimulated responses, in parallel with decreased duration of infections. Innate immune profiles and elevated proinflammatory cytokines further normalized during longer-term acalabrutinib or ibrutinib+venetoclax, paralleled by decreased infection frequency.
    Conclusions: Innate immune impairment and infection susceptibility in patients with CLL were restored in parallel during targeted therapy. Thus, targeted treatment may reduce the risk of infections in CLL, as currently under investigation in the PreVent-ACaLL phase 2 trial of acalabrutinib+venetoclax for high-risk CLL (NCT03868722).

    Abstract Minimal residual disease (MRD) monitoring has a strong prognostic value in childhood lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and is currently utilized in all major pediatric ALL protocols. MRD monitoring is done by multiparameter flow cytometry, IG/TCR quantitative PCR or reverse transcriptase quantitative PCR of leukemic fusion transcripts providing a reliable measurement of treatment response. However, occasionally bone marrow (BM) aspirates may not yield representative material or be misinterpreted due to treatment-induced changes in MRD marker profile, undetected subclones at diagnosis, contamination with peripheral blood or cell adhesion and stroma cell interactions posing a risk for underestimating MRD levels and misclassifying resistant disease that may be detected by traditional BM morphology methods, immunohistochemistry, karyotyping and FISH. We present four cases with high MRD levels where MRD monitoring failed to provide the correct stratification information. Through these cases, we discuss the continued need to consider all available information including BM smears, touch imprints and trephine biopsy preparations not only at diagnosis but throughout remission monitoring in pediatric ALL.

    Abstract Central nervous system (CNS) involvement in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) implicates enhanced intrathecal chemotherapy, which is related to CNS toxicity. Whether CNS involvement alone contributes to CNS toxicity remains unclear. We studied the occurrence of all CNS toxicities, seizures, and posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) in children with ALL without enhanced intrathecal chemotherapy with CNS involvement (n = 64) or without CNS involvement (n = 256) by flow cytometry. CNS involvement increased the risk for all CNS toxicities, seizures, and PRES in univariate analysis and, after adjusting for induction therapy, for seizures (hazard ratio [HR] = 3.33; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.26-8.82; p = 0.016) and PRES (HR = 4.85; 95% CI: 1.71-13.75; p = 0.003).
