Article Abstract

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with a () mutation is a unique subtype of adult leukemia. Recent studies show that -mutated AML has high autophagy activity. However, the mechanism for upholding the high autophagic level is still not fully elucidated. In this study, we first identified that tumor protein p53 inducible nuclear protein 2 (TP53INP2) was highly expressed and cytoplasmically localized in -mutated AML cells. Subsequent data showed that the expression of TP53INP2 was upregulated by fat mass and obesity-associated protein (FTO)-mediated mA modification. Meanwhile, TP53INP2 was delocalized to the cytoplasm by interacting with NPM1 mutants. Functionally, cytoplasmic TP53INP2 enhanced autophagy activity by promoting the interaction of microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3) - autophagy-related 7 (ATG7) and further facilitated the survival of leukemia cells. Taken together, our study indicates that TP53INP2 plays an oncogenic role in maintaining the high autophagy activity of -mutated AML and provides further insight into autophagy-targeted therapy of this leukemia subtype.

Two types of plasmacytoid dendritic cell (pDC) proliferation disease are acknowledged so far by the 5th edition of the World Health Organization Classification of Haematolymphoid Tumors: Blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN) and mature pDC proliferation associated with myeloid neoplasms (MPDCP) in which pDC is part of the malignant clone. We aim to investigate pDC proliferation associated with non-myeloid acute leukemia (AL). A retrospective analysis of all cases admitted in our center with a diagnosis of non-myeloid AL from September 2020 to April 2023 was performed to select cases with pDCs greater than 2% of bone marrow by flow cytometry (FCM).

When a new phenomenon is reported, despite many previous reports on larger cohorts of patients, one naturally asks why the finding is novel. Is this a new phenomenon, or merely identified because one is looking carefully for it for the first time? This commentary explores possible reasons for the novel finding of essential thrombocytopenia emerging in a cohort of Nucleophosmin 1 (NPM1)-mutated acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) patients. Commentary on: Bertoli et al.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is an aggressive blood cancer in which disease initiation and relapse are driven by leukemic cells with stem-like properties, known as leukemic stem cells (LSCs). The LSC compartment is highly heterogenous and this contributes to differences in therapy response. This heterogeneity is determined by genetic and nongenetic factors including somatic mutations, the cell of origin, transcriptional and epigenetic states as well as phenotypic plasticity.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) represents a genetically heterogeneous malignancy, with mutations in the nucleophosmin-1 (NPM1) gene identified as the most prevalent and clinically significant molecular biomarkers. These mutations play a crucial pivotal role in the realms of diagnosis, prognosis, and therapeutic decision-making. Although an ideal measurable residual disease (MRD) test has yet to be developed, there is increasing acknowledgment of the significance of advanced molecular methodologies for monitoring MRD in NPM1-mutated (NPM1) AML.
