History 54 y.o. woman with h/o breast carcinoma Adriamycin (Topo II inhibitor), Ara C, Taxol, Arimidex, and involved field radiation 1 year later, developed t(8;21)(q22;q22) AML Induction: Daunorubicin, Ara C CR Consolidation: 3 cycles of high dose Ara C
History Bone marrow study following cycle #3: Recurrent AML and numerous mast cells. Review of the pre-induction marrow and CD25 and CD117 immunostaining showed no evidence of increased mast cells. Reinduction: : Mitoxantrone, Etoposide, and Ara C was unsuccessful and she died 8 months after diagnosis of AML.

Effect of Prior Therapy De novo t(8;21) one of the most frequent AML translocations. Topo II inhibitor-associated AMLs exhibit balanced translocations RUNX1 and MLL translocations common De novo and therapy-associated associated t(8;21) AMLs exhibit RUNX1 and ETO breakpoint cluster regions corresponding to topoisomerase II DNA cleavage sites and DNase I hypersensitivity sites.

Relationship of KIT Mutations to t(8;21) AML 20-50% of t(8;21) AMLs have KIT mutations. Most in the Tryosine Kinase-2 2 domain D816 N822 Unlikely that chemotherapy affects KIT mutation status since most t(8;21) AMLs are not therapy-associated. associated. Wang YY PNAS 2005;102:1104-9

Relationship of KIT Mutations to t(8;21) AML Most leukemic blasts exhibit both KIT mutations and t(8;21) at diagnosis KIT mutations are likely subsequent events t(8;21) but not KIT found after therapy Induced RUNX1/ETO expression in U937 cells up-regulates KIT mrna and protein levels.

Relationship of KIT Mutations to t(8;21) AML Activating KIT mutations are associated with poor prognosis in adults and children with t(8;21) AML. Higher WBC, increased incidences of extramedullary disease and relapse. Shorter overall, and disease-free survivals. Cairoli R et al. Blood 2006;107:3463-68. 68. Shimada A et al.

Relationship of KIT Mutations to t(8;21) AML-SM t(8;21) AMLs with KIT mutations are a common form of AML in SM-AHNMD Mutation targets pluripotent stem cell Relative frequency of t(8;21) AML with KIT mutations and lack of SM in most cases suggests multi-step oncogenesis for SM. *Garcia-Montero AC et al. Blood 2006;108:2366-72.
Summary t(8;21) is well described in AMLs following Topo II inhibitor therapy. KIT mutations in t(8;21) AML confer a poor prognosis. Screening for mutations should be considered in CBF AMLs. t(8;21) AML appears to be the most common acute leukemia in SM-AHNMD
Summary Only a small subset of t(8;21) AMLs with KIT mutations progresses to SM and oncogenesis is unclear. Additional mutations probable: Promote mast cell proliferation Block mast cell proliferation
