Comprehensive molecular understanding of pediatric acute myeloid leukemia

Norio Shiba

Summary: Pediatric acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a diverse disease with different genetic abnormalities. Fusion genes like RUNX1::RUNX1T1, CBFB::MYH11, and KMT2A::MLLT3 are commonly found in pediatric AML cases, while FLT3-internal tandem duplication, CEBPA-bZip, and NPM1 mutations are detected in a smaller percentage of cases. Unlike in adults, mutations in DNMT3A, TET2, and IDH are rare in pediatric AML. Accurate risk assessment and treatment intensity require genome analysis to be done quickly and inexpensively, and the results should be given to patients in real-time. The presence or absence of minimal residual disease, as well as considering genetic abnormalities, are important factors in predicting prognosis and forming treatment strategies for AML. Development and clinical application of new targeted therapies based on identified genetic abnormalities require further exploration to determine the most effective drug combinations and timing.

Pediatric acute myeloid leukemia: Insight into genetic landscape and novel targeted approaches

Natasa Tosic et al.

Summary: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a heterogeneous hematological malignancy that accounts for 20% of pediatric leukemia cases. While overall survival rates have improved, AML remains a leading cause of mortality in pediatric cancers. Targeted therapy approaches and advances in genomic techniques have identified novel therapeutic targets and provided potential for significant clinical benefits in pediatric AML.

Type-I Interferon Signaling in Fanconi Anemia

Karima Landelouci et al.

Summary: Fanconi Anemia (FA) is a genome instability syndrome caused by mutations in repair genes, leading to congenital abnormalities, premature aging, and bone marrow failure. There is a close relationship between genome instability, inflammation, and the production of type-I Interferon. Understanding the molecular mechanisms of type-I Interferon activation in FA may lead to the discovery of therapeutic targets for the associated inflammation and premature aging.

A new frontier in Fanconi anemia: From DNA repair to ribosome biogenesis

Anna Gueiderikh et al.

Summary: Described by Guido Fanconi almost 100 years ago, Fanconi anemia (FA) is a rare genetic disease characterized by developmental abnormalities, bone marrow failure (BMF) and cancer predisposition. The proteins encoded by FA-mutated genes and assembled in the FANC/BRCA pathway have key functions in DNA repair and replication safeguarding. Recent findings have revealed additional roles of FANC proteins in nucleolar homeostasis and ribosome biogenesis, impacting cellular proteostasis.

Fanconi Anemia Pathway in Colorectal Cancer: A Novel Opportunity for Diagnosis, Prognosis and Therapy

Fatemeh Ghorbani Parsa et al.

Summary: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most commonly diagnosed malignancy globally. This article explores the role of Fanconi anemia (FA) genes in CRC susceptibility, as mutations in these genes increase the risk of tumor development. The FA pathway is involved in DNA repair and genome stability, and has been associated with CRC progression and drug resistance. FANC genes have the potential to serve as promising prognostic and predictive biomarkers in CRC management and treatment, as well as targets for precision cancer medicine.

Molecular-Targeted Therapy of Pediatric Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Piotr Obszanski et al.

Summary: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) comprises 15-20% of childhood leukemia cases, with a survival rate of not exceeding 82% and 5-year event-free survival rates ranging from 46% to 69%. The disease is influenced by multiple mutations and epigenetic changes, affecting treatment susceptibility and relapse rate. Molecular-targeted therapies have been developed and studied in clinical trials to address these challenges, originally introduced in adult AML and now gradually changing the therapeutic approach to pediatric AML. Research involving larger pediatric populations is needed to further improve outcomes.

A novel 4-mRNA signature predicts the overall survival in acute myeloid leukemia

Zizhen Chen et al.

Summary: The study identified 336 differentially expressed genes between AML and control samples, as well as 206 genes representing intratumor heterogeneity of AML. By utilizing a LASSO Cox regression model, a 4-mRNA prognostic signature was established, showing significant association with shorter overall survival, complex karyotype, and adverse mutations. Validation in independent cohorts confirmed its predictive value independent of traditional prognostic factors.

How I treat pediatric acute myeloid leukemia

Jeffrey E. Rubnitz et al.

Summary: Treatment outcomes for pediatric patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) are behind those with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) due to disease heterogeneity, lack of targeted therapies, and slow development of immunotherapy. Further intensification of conventional chemotherapy is unlikely to reduce relapse rates, but comprehensive genomic analyses and understanding of leukemic stem cells may lead to more effective tailored therapies in the future. New therapies like venetoclax and CAR T-cell therapy offer hope for improved outcomes in pediatric AML treatment.

A Novel 85-Gene Expression Signature Predicts Unfavorable Prognosis in Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Yanli Lai et al.

Summary: The study aimed to develop a novel gene profile to classify AML patients into different survival probability subgroups, using data from 405 patients and validated in TCGA. The 85-gene score was found to be superior in predicting AML patient prognosis compared to 2 established gene signatures. It successfully stratified AML patients into 3 subgroups with different survival probabilities based on hierarchial clustering of gene expression levels.
