Minimal residual disease detection in acute myeloid leukemia by mutant nucleophosmin (NPM1): Comparison with WT1 gene expression
چکیده انگلیسی

BackgroundMolecular analysis of minimal residual disease is only applicable in acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML) patients with genetic markers (20–30%). This study analyzes the feasibility of the real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RQ-PCR) assay to detect mutant nucleophosmin (NPM1) during follow-up in AML patients. Moreover, we compare the NPM1 results with those of WT1 expression to MRD assessment.MethodsThe study includes 97 samples from 24 AML patients with type A NPM1 mutation at diagnosis. MRD was evaluated simultaneous by RQ-PCR assay to detect NPM1-mutated and WT1 expression.ResultsThe expression levels of WT1 and NPM1 in 93 paired samples showed a strong positive correlation (r = 0.81; p < 0.0001). However, the kinetics of disappearance were different, WT1 decreased rapidly after induction but maintained these residual levels after treatment in patients in complete remission, whereas NPM1 experienced a mild reduction after induction but was undetectable in long survivor patients.ConclusionsThis study shows the feasibility of the RQ-PCR assay to monitor MRD in AML patients carrying NPM1 mutations and its advantage over RQ-PCR assay for WT1. Owing to NPM1-mutated is specific of leukemic cells and shows higher levels at presentation.
