[Title] Acute mixed lineage leukemia in children: the experience of St Jude Children's Research Hospital.

To characterize the biology and optimal therapy of acute mixed-lineage leukemia in children, we reviewed the pathologic and clinical features, including response to therapy, of 35 patients with mixed-lineage leukemia.

The majority of cases (91%) had blasts cells that simultaneously expressed either T-lineage plus myeloid markers (T/myeloid, n = 20) or B-lineage plus myeloid markers (B/myeloid, n = 12).

Overall survival rates for the B/myeloid and T/myeloid subgroups were not significantly different from each other or from the rate for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) but were inferior to the outcome in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).

Analysis of gene-expression patterns identified a subset of biphenotypic leukemias that did not cluster with T-cell ALL, B-progenitor ALL, or AML.

We propose that treatment for biphenotypic leukemia begin with one course of AML-type induction therapy, with a provision for a switch to lymphoid-type induction therapy with a glucocorticoid, vincristine, and L-asparaginase if the patient responds poorly.

We also suggest that hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is often not required for cure of these patients.

[Title] Expression of IAP-family proteins in adult acute mixed lineage leukemia (AMLL).

To determine the apoptosis-resistant mechanism in adult acute mixed lineage leukemia (AMLL) with biphenotypic blasts responsible for resistance against chemotherapy, the expression levels of IAP-family proteins in AMLL bone marrow cells were analyzed by quantitative RT-PCR.

These findings suggest that higher expression of various IAPs is associated with the chemotherapy-resistant nature of this specific type of leukemia.

[Title] Dic (17;20) (p11;q11) preceded MLL gene amplification in a patient with de novo mixed-lineage leukemia.

We report a case of acute mixed-lineage leukemia, as seen in a 65 year-old female with MLL gene amplification and biallelic loss of wild type p53 gene.

The diagnosis was based on the findings that her bone marrow (BM) blasts expressed cytoplasmic CD3 (cyCD3), B-lineage antigens and myeloid antigens accompanied by clonal rearrangements of IgH gene.

Add (11q23) abnormality was found in sideline karyotypes as well as the stemline abnormality of dic(17;20) (p11;q11).

[Title] Acute mixed lineage leukemia and a t(6;14)(q25;q32) in two adults.

Acute mixed lineage leukemia (AMLL) is a rare form of leukemia in which both myeloid and lymphoid markers are present.

Few chromosome abnormalities have been identified associated with this form of leukemia.

A translocation involving the long arms of chromosomes 6 and 14 was previously described in four young individuals with acute leukemia and in three of these cases the diagnosis was mixed lineage.

[Title] [Major molecular response to imatinib in a patient with acute mixed lineage leukemia expressing a novel BCR/ABL transcript].

OBJECTIVE: To identify the novel BCR/ABL transcript in a patient with acute mixed lineage leukemia (AMLL), and to evaluate the imatinib treatment response by quantitatively monitoring the aberrant BCR/ABL.

Morphological analysis of the bone marrow showed the myeloid blast cells accounted for 66%, and immunophenotyping analysis showed 2 groups of aberrant blast cells: myeloid and B lineage.

Chemical therapy and bone marrow transplantation failed to control the disease, and a novel BCR/ABL transcript (GenBank: EF423615) was found by using several detection protocols.

[Title] Detection of FLT3 gene and FLT3/ITD mutation by polymerase chain reaction-single-strand conformation polymorphism in patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze Fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) gene and FLT3 internal tandem duplication (ITD) mutation in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) patients of different immunological subtypes.

The positivity rate of FLT3 gene in pre-pre B-lineage ALL, pre-B-ALL, B-lineage ALL and T-lineage ALL cases were 93.3% (14/15), 77.8% (14/18), 41.7% (5/12) and 28.6% (4/14), respectively.

Two cases (3.2%) were found to have FLT3/ITD mutation, which were also positive for myeloid antigen expression and diagnosed as acute mixed-lineage leukemia, showing leukocytosis and high percentage of bone marrow blast cells with poor prognosis.

CONCLUSIONS: FLT3 gene can be detected in both B-and T-lineage ALL patients, but more frequently in the former.

In B-lineage ALL patients, FLT3 gene is more frequent in cases with undifferentiated than those with differentiated blast cells.

FLT3/ITD is rarely detected in ALL patients and FLT3/ITD mutation detection might be helpful to identify the genotypes and evaluate the prognosis of acute leukemia.

By TEM, 5 out 15 cases of HAL were consistent with immunophenotyping (3 cases of biphenotypic type, and 2 cases of biclonal type with granulocytes and lymphocytes); 2 cases were suspected as HAL.

Most of the blast cells of biphenotypic HAL showed lymphoid features, except some cases containing MPO positive granules in blasts, while a few cases exhibited monocytic or nonspecific features.

TEM offers advantages in the diagnosis of biclonal type HAL and biphenotypic HAL positive for MPO.

However, it is difficult to differentiate MPO-negative cases of biphenotypic HAL from ALL and a few cases may be misinterpreted as M5 by TEM.

[Title] [Report of a case of hybrid acute leukemia with t (12; 22) and literature review].

OBJECTIVE: To report a hybrid acute leukemia (HAL) patient with t (12;.

Leukemia surface markers were detected by anti-biotin-biotin complex and monoclonal antibodies.

RESULTS: The clinical and hematological findings were compatible with the diagnosis of HAL.

Lymphoid and myeloid markers were positive on the leukemia cells.

22) translocation is a rare chromosome abnormality in leukemia.

This translocation as a cytogenetic marker for poor-prognosis in leukemia needs to be further studied.

[Title] [Clinical characteristics and immunophenotypes of mixed-lineage acute leukemia].

The aim of study was to analyze the clinical, biological features, treatment outcome and prognosis of mixed-lineage acute leukemia (MAL).

48 MAL patients diagnosed according to European Group of International Leukemia (EGIL) scoring system were retrospectively analyzed and the analysis results were compared with that from 68 cases of AML and 61 cases of ALL.

The results showed that the incidence of MAL in acute leukemia was 9.6%.

The median of white blood cell count in MAL was significantly higher than that of non-mixed-lineage cases (AML and ALL) observed during the same period (P < 0.05).

Coexpression of myeloid and B lymphoid antigens in MAL patients was predominant, its rate was 70.9%.

The coexpression rate of T lymphoid and myeloid antigens was 20.8%, coexpression of B, T lymphoid and myeloid antigens was 8.3%.

In MAL Ph chromosome abnormality incidence was 25% and was significantly higher than that in AML group (0%) (P < 0.01), but was not statistical defference with that in ALL group (16.7%) (P > 0.05).

It is concluded that MAL is supposed to be originated from stem cells, coexpression of lymphoid/myeloid antigens is the major feature of MAL which accompanies many poor prognosis factors and lower CR rate.

[Title] Diagnosis of biphenotypic acute leukemia: a paradigmatic approach.

Biphenotypic acute leukemia (BAL), or acute leukemia with a single population of blasts coexpressing markers of two different lineages, is a rare clinical entity.

To define BAL, a scoring system was proposed by the European Group of Immunological Markers for Leukemias (EGIL) in 1995.

However, increasing evidence suggests that this system has limitations, as acknowledged by the 2008 World Health Organization (WHO) Classification of Tumors of Hematopoietic and Lymphoid Tissues.

We propose a new paradigmatic approach to defining BAL based on recent clinical studies of BAL and advances in immunologic marker definition and cytogenetics, and applied our new approach to 8 cases of "BAL" among a cohort of 742 new acute leukemias in our Cancer Center.

By our new criteria, 6 cases were reclassified as acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), while only 2 were still classified as BAL.

[Title] Comparison between CD19 and CD20 expression patterns on acute leukemic cells.

In order to provide the evidences for CD19 as a better antibody targeting molecule for B lineage acute leukemias than CD20 through the multi-parameter flow-cytometry analysis of leukemia cells, the samples from 321 patients with acute leukemia (AL) were immunophenotyped by multi-color flow cytometry and CD45/SSC gating strategy followed by the analysis of CD19 and CD20 expression.

The results showed that the positive rate of CD19 (115/116, 99.1%) in 116 cases with B lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B lineage ALL) was significantly higher than that of CD20 (33/116, 28.4%) (P < 0.01); in 17 patients with B lineage/Myeloid (B/My) acute mixed lineage leukemia (AMLL), the former positive rate (17/17, 100%) was also higher than the latter (5/17, 29.4%) (P < 0.01).

Both of the two antigens were negative in 29 patients with acute T lymphoblastic leukemia and 7 patients with T/My AMLL.

The positive rates of CD19 and CD20 in 152 patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) were 7.2% and 2.0%, respectively.

The difference of the fluorescence intensity between the two antigens on the cells from each patient with B lineage ALL or B/My AMLL was statistically significant (t = 20.68, P < 0.001).

The specificity of CD19 and CD20 in B lymphocytic lineage was 92.3% (132/143) and 92.7% (38/41), respectively, while the sensitivity was 99.2% (132/133) and 28.6% (38/133), respectively, the former sensitivity was significantly higher than the latter (chi(2) = 144.018, P = 0.001).

It is concluded that CD19 continuously and steadily express on almost all subtypes of B lineage leukemic cells with homogeneous pattern while only a small number of leukemias express CD20.

These indicate that CD19 may be a better antibody targeting molecule than CD20 for patients with B-lineage acute leukemia.

[Title] B-Lymphoid and myeloid lineages biphenotypic acute leukemia with t(8;21)(q22;q22).

By analyzing the characteristics of morphology, immune phenotype, chromosome karyotype and clinical manifestations of six cases of B-lymphoid and myeloid lineages biphenotypic acute leukemia (BAL) with t(8;21)(q22;q22), a new subgroup of BAL was reported.

Immunophenotype revealed B-lymphoid and myeloid lineages positive, together with frequent and high expression of CD34 and CD33, and weak expression of HLA-DR.

Chemotherapy for myeloid and lymphoid leukemia simultaneously produced good response in the patients.

q22) might be a new subgroup of BAL, and it was suggested that the leukemia clone with t(8;21)(q22;q22) might have originated from an early phase of hematopoiesis, and AML1/ETO fusion gene might be related to differentiation of B lymphocyte.

[Title] [Skin lesions and myelodysplastic syndrome as initial manifestations of biphenotypic acute leukemia].

The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical, pathological and biological features of biphenotypic acute leukemia.

The results showed that extramedullary skin lesions and myelodysplasia occurred before the onset of overt disease.

At the time of diagnosis, this case had more than 30% blasts in bone marrow with meningeal involvement.

Flow cytometry revealed the co-expression of myeloid antigens (cMPO, CD33 and CD117) and T-lymphoid antigens (cCD3, CD5, CD7, dual expression of CD4 and CD8).

All above-mentioned results led to the diagnosis of biphenotypic acute leukemia.

It is concluded that the biphenotypic acute leukemia is an uncommon type of leukemia which may be preceded by myelodysplastic syndrome and has aggressive clinical and biological behavior.

Immunophenotype, cytogenetics and molecular analysis can contribute to early diagnosis of BAL and evaluation of prognosis.

To study the FLT3 gene expression and its internal tandem duplication in hematologic malignancies and its clinical significance, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and DNA sequencing were used to detect the FLT3/ITD mutation in blast cells of bone marrow from 86 patients with hematologic malignancies, including 32 cases of acute myeoloid leukemia (AML), 18 cases of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), 2 cases of acute hybrid leukemia (AHL), 12 cases of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), 10 cases of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), 3 cases of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) and 9 cases of multiple myeloma (MM).

FLT3/ITD was associated with a higher peripheral blood white cell count (p < 0.01), higher percentage of bone marrow blast cells (p < 0.01) and lower complete mission rate.

FLT3/ITD mutation is associated with higher peripheral blood white cell count, higher percentage of bone marrow blast cells and lower complete remission rate, FIT3/IID gene mutation may be used to predict prognosis of patients with AML.

Abnormalities of cytokine and growth factor signaling pathways are characteristic of all forms of leukemia: lymphoid and myeloid, acute and chronic.

In this review, our current knowledge of leukemic cell cytokine signaling will be summarized, and some speculations on the significance and implications of these insights will be advanced.

A better understanding of aberrant cytokine signaling in leukemia should provide additional targets for the rational therapy of these diseases.

MLL, involved in many chromosomal translocations associated with acute myeloid and lymphoid leukemia, has >50 known partner genes with which it is able to form in-frame fusions.

Characterizing important downstream target genes of MLL and of MLL fusion proteins may provide rational therapeutic strategies for the treatment of MLL-associated leukemia.

To this end, we developed inducible MLL-AF4 fusion cell lines in different backgrounds.

Overexpression of MLL-AF4 does not lead to increased proliferation in either cell line, but rather, cell growth was slowed compared with similar cell lines inducibly expressing truncated MLL.

We found that in the MLL-AF4-induced cell lines, the expression of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor gene CDKN1B was dramatically changed at both the RNA and protein (p27kip1) levels.

Further, we confirmed CDKN1B promoter binding by ChIP in MLL-AF4 as well as in MLL-AF9 leukemia cell lines.

Our results suggest that CDKN1B is a downstream target of MLL and of MLL-AF4, and that, depending on the background cell type, MLL-AF4 inhibits or activates CDKN1B expression.

This finding may have implications in terms of leukemia stem cell resistance to chemotherapy in MLL-AF4 leukemias.

[Title] Transforming human blood stem and progenitor cells: a new way forward in leukemia modeling.

MLL-AF9 (MA9) is a leukemia fusion gene formed upon translocation of the AF9 gene on chromosome 9 and the MLL gene on chromosome 11.

MA9 is commonly found in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and occasionally in acute lymphoid leukemia and is associated with intermediate to poor outcome.

We have recently described a model system whereby we expressed the MA9 fusion gene in human CD34(+) Umbilical Cord Blood (UCB) cells and showed that these cells transformed to acute myeloid or lymphoid leukemia when injected into immunodeficient mice.

The Mixed Lineage Leukemia (MLL) oncogenes are unique in this model system in that they promote full transformation of primary human blood cells, while all other leukemia-associated oncogenes tested thus far have induced only partial phenotypes.

Here we provide an update on the use of this system for modeling human leukemia and its potential application for therapeutic testing of novel compounds to treat the disease.

[Title] Clinicopathologic analysis of acute myeloid leukemia in a single institution: biphenotypic acute myeloid leukemia may not be an aggressive subtype.

BACKGROUND: Most acute leukemias are classified as lymphoid or myeloid lineages by standard microscopic morphology, cytochemistry and a panel of immunologic markers.

The World Health Organization classification of acute leukemia incorporates morphologic, cytogenetic, immunologic and clinical features to define the entities that are biologically homogeneous and that have clinical relevance.

The purpose of this study was to determine the clinicopathologic characteristics of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in Taiwan.

The median age at onset of disease was 49 years (range, 2-78 years), which was younger in biphenotypic AML (23.5 years) and older in multilineage dysplasia-related AML (61 years).

There were 9 cases (13%) with recurrent cytogenetic abnormality, 7 (10%) multilineage dysplasia-related, 7 (10%) therapy-related, 39 (56%) not other categorized and 8 (11%) of ambiguous lineage.

The median survivals of therapyrelated, multilineage dysplasia-related and biphenotypic AML were 2 months, 9 months and 30.5 months, respectively.

Biphenotypic AML may not be an aggressive subtype.

[Title] [Biologic features of 688 cases of childhood acute leukemia-a single centre retrospective study].

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the biologic features of childhood acute leukemia in the northern region of China through a small cohort study in a single center.

METHODS: The medical records of 688 children with acute leukemia (age< or =15 years) who were initially diagnosed at Blood Disease Hospital of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from October 2003 to June 2006 were retrospectively studied.

RESULTS: Four hundred children were diagnosed as acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), with a peak incidence at ages of 1-4 years.

Two hundred and eighteen children were classified into B-cell ALL, and 34 into T-cell ALL.

E2A-PBX1 fusion gene was expressed in 3.9% of children with B-cell ALL.

Two hundred and twenty-two children were diagnosed as acute myeloid leukemia (AML), with a peak incidence at ages of 10-15 years.

Acute hybrid leukemia (AHL) was confirmed in 24 children (4.2%), with a median age of 9 years.

Seventy-four percent of the children with (AHL) had mainly CD13 and CD33 expression in myeloid antigen integral.

CONCLUSIONS: There are differences in the biologic features of childhood acute leukemia between the northern region of China and other regions and races, which suggests that there might be differences in the pathogenesis of childhood acute leukemia in different environmental exposures.

[Title] Low turnover bone disease in Egyptian children with acute leukemia.

The aim of this work was to study bone turnover markers, calcium homeostasis and bone mineral density (BMD) in children with acute leukemia at diagnosis, after induction chemotherapy, and during maintenance therapy to delineate abnormalities present.

After evaluation of L2-L4 BMD using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry in patients with acute myeloid and lymphoid leukemia at presentation and after treatment, the results were compared to 352 healthy age- and sex-matched Egyptian controls.

Osteopenia was observed at diagnosis and during treatment in patients with acute leukemia.

At diagnosis osteopenia was observed in 27 patients (62.8%): 10 (23.3%) had non severe osteopenia and 17 (39.5%) had severe osteopenia.

Parathyroid hormone (PTH) (pg/ml) levels demonstrated non significant differences between children with acute leukemia at different stages of therapy and controls, while, 25 (OH) D3 (ng/ml) was significantly lower in acute leukemia patients at different stages of therapy compared to controls (p<0.001).

Osteocalcin (ng/ml) is significantly lower in patients at different stages of the disease compared to controls (p<0.001) but there was no significant difference between patients at different stages of therapy.

Deoxy-pyridoline cross links showed non-significant difference between the different types of acute leukemia and with controls.

Osteopenia is a significant problem in children with acute leukemia at presentation and after chemotherapy.

Osteopenia in acute leukemia appears to be of the low turnover type (decreased osteoblastic activity and decreased bone mineralization).

We previously showed that S-adenosylmethionine (SAMe) and its metabolite methylthioadenosine (MTA) blocked lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha) expression in RAW (murine macrophage cell line) and Kupffer cells at the transcriptional level without affecting nuclear factor kappa B nuclear binding.

LPS increased the binding of histone methyltransferases Set1 and myeloid/lymphoid leukemia to these promoters, which was unaffected by SAMe or MTA.

Exogenous SAMe is unstable and converts spontaneously to MTA, which is stable and cell-permeant.

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) which is one of the endemic viral infections in Egypt is not only hepatotropic, but also a lymphotropic virus and has many extrahepatic manifestations as mixed cryoglobulinemia and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

We studied gene expression profile of 20 B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma with HCV infection and 20 B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma without HCV infection as a control group by c-DNA microarray.

Also, HCV was associated with overexpression of the genes related to myeloid/lymphoid leukemia and B lymphoma as MLLT3, BAL, influences the overexpression of transcription regulator genes as TATA box binding protein (TBP) and may influence the overexpression of some immunoglobulin genes as immunoglobulin superfamily containing leucine gene in B cells resulting in overproduction of immunoglobulins in B-lymphocyte disorders.

The chromosomal translocation t(4;11)(q21;q23) is the most frequent genetic aberration of the human MLL gene, resulting in high-risk acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).

Recipients of AF4.MLL- or double-transduced LSPCs developed pro-B ALL, B/T biphenotypic acute leukemia, or mixed lineage leukemia.

Transplantation of MLL.AF4- or mock-transduced LSPCs did not result in disease development during an observation period of 13 months.

These findings indicate that the expression of the AF4.MLL fusion protein is capable of inducing acute lymphoblastic leukemia even in the absence of the MLL.AF4 fusion protein.

In view of recent findings, these results may imply that t(4;11) leukemia is based on 2 oncoproteins, providing an explanation for the very early onset of disease in humans.

[Title] Successful voriconazole treatment of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis in a patient with acute biphenotypic leukemia.

A 23-year old woman with acute biphenotypic leukemia (ABL) complained of chest pain with cough, high fever and hemoptysis during induction chemotherapy, although she had been treated with anti-biotics and micafungin.

We made a clinical diagnosis of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) based on a consolidation in the right upper lung field on a chest radiograph as well as a high level of serum beta-D-glucan (with no evidence of tuberculosis and candidiasis).

Later, we discovered an air-crescent sign by CT scan that supported the diagnosis of IPA.

Serological tests and CT findings can aid in early diagnosis of IPA, which, along with treatment for IPA, will improve clinical outcomes.

[Title] [Biphenotypic acute leukaemia with Burkitt-like cytology].

[Transliterated title] Leucémie aiguë biphénotypique avec aspect cytologique de type Burkitt.

Biphenotypic acute leukaemia (BAL) represents about 5% of adult acute leukaemia.

Based on a previously described scoring system, the European Group for Immunologic Classification of Leukaemia (EGIL) proposed a set of diagnostic criteria for BAL.

This scoring system is based on the number and degree of the specificity of several markers for myeloid or T/B lymphoid blasts.

Here, we report the case of a BAL with Burkitt-like cytology, corresponding to "the acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, Burkitt type" L3 for the FAB classification.

By flow cytometry, the blasts showed a positivity for B lymphoid cytoplasmic (CD79a and mu) and membrane (CD19, CD22, CD24, IgM) markers AND a positivity for the myeloid (CD13, CD33, CD65, CD15) markers.

The BCR-ABL1 fusion gene defines the subgroup of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) with the worst clinical prognosis.

The IKZF1 deletion also was identified in the progression of chronic myeloid leukemia to lymphoid blast crisis (66%) but never in myeloid blast crisis or chronic-phase chronic myeloid leukemia or in patients with acute myeloid leukemia.

NF1 inactivation occurs in specific human cancers, including juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia, an aggressive myeloproliferative disorder of childhood.

However, evidence suggests that Nf1 loss alone does not cause leukemia.

We therefore hypothesized that inactivation of the Nf1 tumor suppressor gene requires cooperating mutations to cause acute leukemia.

One of these genes, Bcl11a, confers a growth advantage in cultured Nf1 mutant hematopoietic cells and causes early onset of leukemia of either myeloid or lymphoid lineage in mice when expressed in Nf1-deficient bone marrow.

Importantly, Bcl11a is expressed in human chronic myelomonocytic leukemia and juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia samples.

These findings suggest that deregulated Bcl11a cooperates with Nf1 in leukemogenesis, and a therapeutic strategy targeting the BCL11A pathway may prove beneficial in the treatment of leukemia.

[Title] Role of cyclic AMP response element binding protein in human leukemias.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in adults has a 20% 5-year disease-free survival despite treatment with aggressive cytotoxic chemotherapy.

Previous work from our laboratory demonstrated that the majority of patients with acute lymphoid and myeloid leukemia overexpress CREB in the bone marrow.

CREB overexpression is associated with poor initial outcome of clinical disease in AML patients.

CREB is a transcription factor that functions in glucose homeostasis, growth-factor-dependent cell survival, and memory.

To study its role in hematopoiesis, we overexpressed CREB in leukemia cell lines and in mice.

CREB overexpression resulted in increased survival and proliferation of myeloid cells and blast-transformation of bone marrow progenitor cells from transgenic mice expressing CREB in the myeloid lineage.

CREB transgenic mice also develop myeloproliferative disease after 1 year.

Thus, CREB acts as a protooncogene to regulate hematopoiesis and contributes to the leukemia phenotype.

Our results suggest that CREB-dependent pathways may serve as targets for directed therapies in leukemia in the future.

[Title] Risk of leukemia and multiple myeloma associated with exposure to benzene and other organic solvents: evidence from the Italian Multicenter Case-control study.

BACKGROUND: While there is a general consensus about the ability of benzene to induce acute myeloid leukemia (AML), its effects on chronic lymphoid leukemia and multiple myeloma (MM) are still under debate.

We conducted a population-based case-control study to evaluate the association between exposure to organic solvents and risk of myeloid and lymphoid leukemia and MM.

METHODS: Five hundred eighty-six cases of leukemia (and 1,278 population controls), 263 cases of MM (and 1,100 population controls) were collected.

There were elevated point estimates for the associations between medium/high benzene exposure and chronic lymphatic leukemia (OR = 1.8, 95% CI = 0.9-3.9) and MM (OR = 1.9, 95% CI = 0.9-3.9).

Risks of chronic lymphatic leukemia were somewhat elevated, albeit with wide confidence intervals, from medium/high exposure to xylene and toluene as well.

Our results support the association between benzene, xylene, and toluene and chronic lymphatic leukemia and between benzene and MM with longer latencies than have been observed for AML in other studies.

[Title] [Biphenotypic and bilineal acute leukemias].

Human acute leukemias (AL) are classified as myeloid or lymphoid according to cytomorphology and the expression of leukocyte differentiation antigens/CD-markers.

However, in the minority of cases leukemic cells express markers of more than one lineage, which has led to the introduction of a new subgroup of acute leukemias termed mixed or biphenotypic acute leukemias (BAL).

In an effort to distinguish between BAL and those AL with aberrant expression of markers of other lineage, the European Group for the Immunological Characterization of Acute Leukemias (EGIL) has proposed a scoring system in which CD-markers are assigned a score of 0.5, 1.0 or 2.0, depending on the specificity of a particular antigen for myeloid, B- and/or T-lymphoid lineage, respectively.

The new WHO classification of hematologic tumors has adopted the EGIL criteria for BAL and introduced a new group of AL termed 'AL of ambiguous lineage'.

In addition to BAL in which a single cell population expresses both myeloid and lymphoid differentiation markers, this new group of leukemias also comprises cases that present with two separate blast populations (acute bilineal leukemia, aBLL).

In general, BAL accounts for less than 5% of all AL cases, whereas aBLL is a rare disease constituting 1%-2% of AL cases that contains B- or T-lymphoid along with myeloid blasts.

Chromosome abnormalities are frequent in both entities with a relatively high incidence of Philadelphia chromosome and rearrangements involving 11q23, especially in cases with B- and myeloid involvement.

Unfortunately, optimal therapy is not known, although regimens designed for acute lymphoblastic leukemia may result in a better response rate.

[Title] Clinico-hematological profile in biphenotypic acute leukemia.

BACKGROUND: We present a clinico-hematological profile and treatment outcome of Biphenotypic Acute Leukemia (BAL).

MATERIAL AND METHODS: Diagnosis was based on WHO classification, including clinical details, morphology, cytochemistry, immunophenotyping, and molecular genetics.

We included those cases, which fulfilled the European Group for the Immunological Characterization of Acute Leukemia's (EGIL's) scoring system criteria for the diagnosis of BAL, as per recommendation of the WHO classification.

B-Myeloid (14 cases) followed by T-Myeloid BAL (13 cases) were the commonest subtypes.

Polymorphous population of blasts (16 cases) was commonly associated with T-Myeloid BAL (10 cases).

BCR ABL fusion positivity was a common cytogenetic abnormality (seven cases).

CONCLUSIONS: Pediatric BAL and T-B lymphoid BAL have a better prognosis.

BCR-ABL expression is an important prognostic factor, as these cases will be labeled as Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in blast crisis with biphenotypic expression and treated accordingly.

Increased erythrocyte mean corpuscular volume (MCV) is frequently found among DS infants and remains elevated throughout life in two-thirds of patients, making interpretation of red cell indices for diagnosis of nutritional anemias or bone marrow failure disorders more challenging.

Transient myeloproliferative disorder (TMD) associated with pancytopenia, hepatosplenomegaly, and circulating immature WBCs, is found almost exclusively in DS infants with an incidence of approximately 10%.

Despite the high rate of spontaneous regression, TMD can be a preleukemic disorder in 20-30% of children with DS.

There is an increased risk of leukemia with an equal incidence of lymphoid and myeloid leukemia.

Acute megakaryocytic leukemia (AMKL) subtype is the most common form of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in this setting, and is uncommon in children without DS.

Children with DS and leukemia are more sensitive to some chemotherapeutic agents such as methotrexate than other children which requires careful monitoring for toxicity.

Although the risk for leukemia is higher in individuals with DS, these patients have a lower risk of developing solid tumors, with the exception of germ cell tumors, and perhaps retinoblastoma and lymphoma.

Deregulated HOX expression, by chromosomal translocations and myeloid-lymphoid leukemia (MLL) rearrangements, is causal in some types of leukemia.

Using real-time reverse transcription-PCR, we examined the expression of 43 clustered HOX, polycomb, MLL and FLT3 genes in 119 newly diagnosed adult acute myeloid leukemias (AMLs) selected from all major cytogenetic groups.

We also observed that HOXA9 levels were significantly inversely correlated with survival and that BMI-1 was overexpressed in cases with 11q23 rearrangements, suggesting that p19(ARF) suppression may be involved in MLL-associated leukemia.

These results underscore the close relationship between HOX expression patterns and certain forms of AML and emphasize the need to determine whether these differences play a role in the disease process.

[Title] CD79a expression in acute myeloid leukemia t(8;21) and the importance of cytogenetics in the diagnosis of leukemias with immunophenotypic ambiguity.

Acute leukemias that express antigens associated with more than one lineage have been classified as acute lymphocytic leukemia with myeloid markers, acute myeloid leukemia with lymphoid markers, or biphenotypic acute leukemia (BAL).

CD79a functions in and has a high degree of specificity for B-cell differentiation.

It has only recently begun to be reported in biphenotypic acute leukemias.

Cases of acute leukemia submitted to the flow cytometry laboratory were retrospectively reviewed beginning from the time analysis for cytoplasmic CD79a was added to leukemia and lymphoma panels.

The immunophenotyping met proposed scoring criteria for a diagnosis of BAL.

Nevertheless, the cytogenetic and FISH findings indicate that CD79a, despite its specificity for B-cell differentiation, represented the aberrant presence of a B-cell antigen in leukemias of distinct myeloid linage.

It is doubtful that, in this setting, CD79a expression should be considered a manifestation of lineage ambiguity.

[Title] [Biphenotypic acute leukaemia: case reports of two paediatric patients].

INTRODUCTION: Biphenotypic acute leukaemia is an uncommon type of leukaemia whose blasts co-express myeloid and B-or T-lymphoid antigens.

CASE REPORT: We describe two cases of paediatric patients with biphenotypic acute leukaemia.

A four-year-old female patient was found to have myeloid and B-lymphoid associated antigens in the same blast cells.

She was treated with combined acute myeloid leukaemia/acute lymphoblastic leukaemia induction therapy followed by autologous stem cell transplantation.

The patient died due to the complications of stem cell transplantation procedure.

Another patient was a 20-month-old girl with myeloid and T-lymphoid associated antigens in the blast cells and with normal karyotype.

She received acute myeloid leukaemia induction therapy.

DISCUSSION: Immunophenotype is essential to establish the diagnosis of biphenotypic acute leukaemia according to the scoring system adopted by the European Group of Immunological Classification of Leukaemia.

There is no agreement about uniformity in treatment for the patients with this type of leukaemia.

Biphenotypic acute leukaemia is a high risk leukaemia which requires a more intensive treatment.

CONCLUSION: Therapy for every patient with biphenotypic acute leukaemia should depend on their immunophenotype and gene rearrangement profiles.

[Title] Graft-versus-leukemia effect on infant lymphoblastic leukemia relapsed after sibling hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

INTRODUCTION: Infant acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is considered a high-risk entity.

By morphology, infant ALL is classified as a lymphoid lineage leukemia; however, its physiologic behavior has brought many to consider it a pathologic hybrid between lymphoid leukemia and myeloid leukemias.

As such, standard of care currently employs the use of chemotherapeutic agents used commonly in ALL protocols and agents typically reserved for the treatment of myelogenous lineage leukemias.

The role of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and graft-versus-leukemia effect in these patients has not been well studied.

CASE PRESENTATION: An earlier healthy 9-week-old Hispanic male diagnosed with precursor B-cell lymphoblastic leukemia was treated with protocol P9407 and matched sibling hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

The sole antigraft-versus-host disease (GVHD) agent, cyclosporine, was discontinued.

He remains disease free more than 2 years posttransplant.

CONCLUSION: Traditionally, graft-versus-leukemia effect was thought to contribute therapeutically little to the treatment of ALL by hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT).

The effects of graft-versus-leukemia immunologic phenomenon in our patient with infant acute lymphoblastic leukemia underscore the potential that infant ALL may not be entirely the same biologic entity as standard pediatric ALL and may be more responsive than understood earlier.

Therapeutic response and appearance of GVHD after the withdrawal of immunosuppression in this patient provides evidence that graft-versus-leukemia effect may play a role in disease control in infant ALL after HSCT.

This suggests that other immunotherapeutic interventions in the context of relapse may offer potential clinical benefit in this disease.

We have analyzed gene expression data from three different kinds of samples: normal human tissues, human cancer cell lines, and leukemic cells from lymphoid and myeloid leukemia pediatric patients.

Analysis of the expression levels of these two groups of genes in the human cancer cell lines and leukemias identified genes that were highly expressed in cancer cells but not in their normal counterparts and, thus, were overexpressed in the cancers.

The different cancer cell lines and leukemias varied in the number and identity of these overexpressed genes.

[Title] Clofarabine for the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

A marked improvement in the outcome of patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia has been achieved with chemotherapeutic agents developed between the 1950s and 1970s.

As the limits of optimizing the use of old drugs are reached, most adults with acute lymphoblastic leukemia still succumb to their disease and leukemia remains the leading cause of nonaccidental death in children.

Clofarabine, a next-generation deoxyadenosine analog, has demonstrated significant activity in children and adults with refractory lymphoid and myeloid leukemia in early clinical trials and was granted approval for use in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in second or higher relapse.

[Title] Acute biphenotypic leukemia arising in a patient with essential thrombocythemia.

Acute leukemia is an uncommon complication of patients with essential thrombocythemia (ET).

We describe a patient with ET, who transformed to acute biphenotypic leukemia 4 and 1/2 years after initial ET diagnosis.

Acute biphenotypic leukemia was confirmed on bone marrow studies and immunophenotyping.

Complete remission (CR) was achieved with induction chemotherapy for acute leukemia.

To our knowledge, this is a rare event of acute biphenotypic leukemic transformation of a patient with ET.
