Background. Overexpression of CXC chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4+) is a poor prognostic factor in adult acute myeloid leukemia (AML); however, its prognostic significance in pediatric AML is unclear. Procedure. This retrospective study examined the prognostic significance of CXCR4+ in pediatric AML patients enrolled in the Japanese Pediatric Leukemia/Lymphoma Study Group AML-05 study. Results. In the total cohort (n = 248), no significant differences were observed between CXCR4+ patients (n = 81) and CXCR4-patients (n = 167) in terms of 3-year overall survival (OS) (69.4% vs. 75.2%, P = 0.44). However, there was a significant difference in 3-year OS between CXCR4+ and CXCR4-patients in the low-risk (LR) group (n = 93; 79.2% vs. 98.3%, P = 0.007). CXCR4+ patients in the t(8; 21) AML without KIT mutation group had a significantly worse 3-year OS than CXCR4-patients (n = 44; 76.1% vs. 100.0%, P = 0.01). Multivariate Cox regression analysis identified CXCR4+ as a poor prognostic factor for OS in LR AML patients (hazard ratio, 11.47; P = 0.01). Consistent with the data for survival analysis, CXCR4+ patients in the t(8; 21) AML group had a higher incidence of splenomegaly than CXCR4-patients (25.9% vs. 5.9%, P = 0.03). Conclusions. These results suggest that CXCR4+ is a poor prognostic factor for LR patients, particularly t(8; 21) patients without KIT mutation. The poor outcome was only applicable to OS, not relapse-free survival (RFS); thus, CXCR4+ may be associated with a poor prognosis after recurrence. Intensive therapy, including administration of CXCR4 antagonists, may be promising for pediatric AML patients with LR. (C) 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
