摘要
EVI1 and MEL1 are homolog genes whose transcriptional activations by chromosomal translocations are known in small subsets of leukemia. From gene expression profiling data of 130 Japanese pediatric acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients, we found that EVI1 and MEL1 were overexpressed in similar to 30% of patients without obvious translocations of these gene loci, and that their high expression was significantly associated with inferior survival. High EVI1 expression was detected mainly in myelomonocytic-lineage (designated as e-M4/M5 subtype) leukemia with MLL rearrangements and in megakaryocytic-lineage (designated as e-M7 subtype) leukemia, and its prognostic association was observed in the e-M4/M5 subtype but not in the e-M7 subtype. On the other hand, high MEL1 expression was detected in myelocytic-lineage (designated as e-M0/M1/M2 subtype) and e-M4/M5 subtype leukemia without MLL rearrangements, and its prognostic association was independent from the subtypes. Because of their subtype-dependent and mutually exclusive expression, a combined evaluation of their high expression enabled a clear distinction of patients with inferior survival (P < 0.00001 in event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS)). This association was confirmed by quantitative reverse transcription PCR analysis of an independent cohort of 81 patients (P = 0.00017 in EFS, P = 0.00028 in OS). We propose that the combined estimation of EVI1 and MEL1 expression will be an effective method to predict the prognosis of pediatric AML.
