Description
Therapy-related myelodysplasia or acute myeloid leukemia (t-MDS/AML) is a lethal complication of cancer treatment. Although t-MDS/AML development is associated with known genotoxic exposures, its pathogenesis is not well understood and methods to predict risk of development of t-MDS/AML in individual cancer survivors are not available. We performed microarray analysis of gene expression in samples from patients who developed t-MDS/AML after autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation (aHCT) for Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) or non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) and controls that did not develop t-MDS/AML after aHCT. CD34+ progenitor cells from peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) samples obtained pre-aHCT from t-MDS/AML cases and matched controls, and bone marrow (BM) samples obtained at time of development of t-MDS/AML, were studied. Significant differences in gene expression were seen in PBSC obtained pre-aHCT from patients who subsequently developed t-MDS/AML compared to controls. Genetic alterations in pre-aHCT samples were related to mitochondrial function, protein synthesis, metabolic regulation and hematopoietic regulation. Progression to overt t-MDS/AML was associated with additional alterations in DNA repair and DNA-damage checkpoint genes. Altered gene expression in PBSC samples were validated in an independent group of patients. An optimal 63-gene PBSC classifier derived from the training set accurately distinguished patients who did or did not develop t-MDS/AML in the independent test set. These results indicate that genetic programs associated with t-MDS/AML are perturbed long before disease onset, and can accurately identify those at risk of developing this complication.
