Although CAEBV is a heterogeneous disease with diverse clinical courses, its pathogenesis remains poorly understood. In this study, we explored the molecular mechanisms underlying CAEBV by performing a comprehensive multi-omics analysis, including genome, transcriptome, epigenome, and single-cell transcriptome and surface proteome analyses, of 65 CAEBV patients. Methylation analysis identified two distinct subtypes of NK cell-type CAEBV based on the CpG island methylator phenotype (CIMP). In CIMP-positive CAEBV, regions associated with enhancer of zeste homolog 2 binding sites and histone H3 lysine 27 trimethylation exhibited increased DNA hypermethylation, resulting in downregulation of tumor suppressor and anti-herpes virus genes. CIMP-positive CAEBV had a particularly poor prognosis and displayed a \"neoplastic\" phenotype with a DNA methylation pattern similar to that of extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma, a higher tumor mutation burden, and frequent copy number alterations. In addition, both in vitro and in vivo functional assays demonstrated that 5-Azacytidine, a hypomethylating agent, was a potentially effective agent for high-risk CIMP-positive CAEBV. Finally, we established a method to effectively detect EBV-infected cells in single-cell analysis, suggesting that EBV-infected NK cells have tissue-resident properties and that innate and adaptive immunity to EBV is compromised in patients with CAEBV. The present findings provide insight into the complex molecular features of CAEBV and suggest potential molecular therapies.","PeriodicalId":9102,"journal":{"name":"Blood","volume":"55 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":20.3,"publicationDate":"2025-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144747881","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A benefit of remission induction prior to alloHCT, however, has never been proven in a prospective trial. Potent conditioning regimens exist which allow for successful alloHCT in patients with active AML. Therefore, the ASAP trial was conducted to test remission induction by salvage chemotherapy prior to alloHCT against immediate transplantation after intensified conditioning. In total 281 patients with AML with poor response after first induction or untreated first relapse were randomized 1:1 to remission induction (RIST) with high-dose cytarabine plus mitoxantrone versus immediate alloHCT with sequential conditioning after non-intensive disease control measures (DisC) preferentially watchful waiting only. Overall survival (OS) at 5 years from randomization analyzed according to ITT was 46.1% for DisC versus 47.5% for RIST (p=0.82). In multivariable Cox regression analysis, genetic AML risk according to ELN (p<0.0001), age (p=0.001) and comorbidities (p=0.046) predicted survival, but not treatment arm (HR 1.08 for DisC versus RIST, p=0.67). In conclusion, long-term follow-up of the ASAP trial showed no survival advantage for standard salvage chemotherapy prior to alloHCT as opposed to immediate alloHCT. The trial results question the general concept of remission induction with intensive standard salvage therapy prior to alloHCT for all patients, since immediate alloHCT may reduce time in hospital and health care expenses. Well tolerable novel bridging therapies and post-transplant maintenance with targeted drugs are urgently warranted, especially for adverse-risk AML, to improve outcome after alloHCT.

An enormous unmet need exists to develop novel therapeutic strategies and understand resistance mechanisms to suboptimal existing therapies for this disease. In two parallel phase 2 clinical trials that combined eprenetapopt with azacitidine in TP53 mutated MDS/AML, we observed complete remission rates of 40-50% and molecular remission rates of 38%. However, unless allogeneic stem cell transplantation was performed, relapse inevitably occurred. To understand the mechanisms of secondary resistance responsible for this, we genotyped sequential clinical trial samples, conducted a genome-wide CRISPR screen in TP53 mutated leukemia cells, and identified XPO1 as a therapeutically tractable mediator of resistance. We demonstrate that XPO1 is overexpressed in patient samples after eprenetapopt and azacitidine treatment, elucidate the mechanism by which this occurs, and determine that it is necessary and sufficient for resistance to combination therapy. Finally, we validate in a variety of model systems including a novel patient derived xenograft model of TP53 mutant MDS, that eprenetapopt in combination with XPO1 inhibitors can overcome this resistance, providing preclinical rationale that this novel combination strategy is a viable therapeutic approach in TP53 mutant MDS/AML patients.","PeriodicalId":9102,"journal":{"name":"Blood","volume":"718 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":20.3,"publicationDate":"2025-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144747889","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Emerging data show that TP53 mutational allele status is a key determinant of clinical outcomes, with multi-hit TP53 mutant myeloid neoplasms having a very poor prognosis. Significant differences exist among the methods used in clinical and research settings to assess TP53 mutational status, leading to variability in reported patient characteristics, response to therapy, and survival. Indeed, differences in the criteria used to define TP53 mutational states among professional societies and in landmark research studies have led to confusion, suboptimal clinical testing, and variability in therapy recommendations. We review the methods used to assess for TP53 mutational allele status and provide recommendations, based on clinically available testing, for the accurate evaluation of TP53 gene mutations in myeloid neoplasms. Hotspot mutations represent ~35% of all TP53 missense mutations in myeloid neoplasms. There is evidence that these hotspot mutations may have dominant-negative or gain-of function properties.
