DEFINITIONS

Myeloproliferative Neoplasms (MPNs): are a group of clonal myeloid neoplasms

in which a genetic alteration occurs in a hematopoietic progenitor cell leading to its proliferation resulting in an increase in the peripheral blood white blood cells (WBCs), red blood cells (RBCs), platelets, or a combination of these cells.

MORE DEFINITIONS
The type of disorder is often based on the predominant

cell line that is affected, but because blood counts are often abnormal in more than one cell line, diagnoses based upon blood counts and morphology alone may be inaccurate.
Four Main MPNs: Additional MPNs:
1. Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML) 1. Systemic Mastocytosis
2. Polycythemia Vera (PV) 2. Hypereosinophilic Syndrome
3. Essential Thrombocytosis (ET) 3. Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia
4. Primary Myelofibrosis (PMF) 4. Chronic Neutrophilic Leukemia
5. Chronic Eosinophilic Leukemia

CML DEFINITION

A pluripotent stem cell disease characterized by anemia, extreme blood granulocytosis

and granulocytic immaturity, basophilia, often thrombocytosis and splenomegaly
The clonal hematopoietic cells contain a reciprocal translocations between chromosomes 9 and 22 in more than 95% of the patients, which leads to an overtly foreshortened long arm of chromosome 22 referred as the Philadelphia chromosome.
Natural history - Phasic disease: chronic, accelerated and blast crisis

EPIDEMIOLOGY OF CML

Approximately 5,050 cases in the U.S. in 2009 (11%

of all leukemias) with an incidence that increases significantly with age (median age ~ 55)
Risk Factors include:
▪ prior high dose radiation exposure (WW II / Chernobyl / etc…)
▪ exposure to certain organic solvents (benzene)
▪ age
▪ gender (male > female)

ETIOLOGY OF CML

The risk of getting CML does not seem to

be affected by smoking, diet, or infections
CML does not run in families since inherited mutations do not cause CML
Instead, DNA changes related to CML occur
during the patient’s life time

CML – PATHOPHYSIOLOGY – THE PHILADELPHIA CHROMOSOME

The gene that breaks off

from chromosome 9 is called ABL (after Abelson the scientist who first identified the gene), while the gene that splits from chromosome 22 is called BCR, short for breakpoint cluster region

WHAT IS PHILADELPHIA CHROMOSOME POSITIVE CML?
The combination of BCR and ABL

leads to the formation of an abnormal fusion gene responsible for the pathogenesis of CML
In the words of Brian Druker the BCR-ABL gene in CML acts “like the gas pedal in a car stuck in the ‘on’ position fuelling the excess growth of white blood cells”

CML – PERIPHERAL BLOOD AND BM FINDINGS

Peripheral smear can only give

a presumptive
diagnosis of CML [you need to confirm the t(9;22)]:
1) leukocytosis with a ‘left shift’
2) normocytic anemia
3) thrombocytosis in 50% of pts
4) absolute eosinophilia with a normal % of Eos.
5) absolute and relative increase in basophils
6) LAP score is low (not frequently employed)

DIAGNOSTIC CONSIDERATIONS IN CHRONIC MYELOID LEUKEMIA

Karyotyping in CML
1) Allows for

the diagnosis of CML
2) Requires a bone marrow aspirate for optimal metaphases
3) Allows for evaluation of clonal evolution as well as additional chromosomal abnormalities - Isochromosome 17; Double Philadelphia chromosome; Trisomia 8; Trisomia 19; Loss of Y chromosome
4) Occasional cryptic and complex karyotypes can result in the missed identification of the t(9;22)

Demonstrating the presence of the t(9;22) or its gene product is
absolutely essential in diagnosing a patient with CML

Allows for the diagnosis of CML
2) Does not require a bone marrow aspirate for optimal results
3) Can quantify the amount of disease
4) Allows for the identification of cryptic
translocations involving Bcr-Abl
5) Many primers sets only detect the p190 and/or the p210 translocation and may miss the p230 or alternative translocations

MECHANISMS OF IMATINIB RESISTANCE
Resistance Mechanisms
1) Bcr-Abl Kinase mutations
▪ > 50

known mutations within Abl sequence which inhibits Imatinib from binding
▪ mutations identified in 30-80% of individuals with resistant disease
2) Bcr-Abl duplication
duplication of the Bcr-Abl sequence has been identified in cell lines with Im resistance
3) Pgp over-expression
export pump of many chemotherapeuticsleading to lower intracellular Im concentration
4) hOct-1 under-expression
import pump for Im which may lead to lower intracellular levels of IM
5) Src-Family kinase (SFK) expression
activation may circumnavigate the Bcr-Abl
‘addiction’ of the transformed cell

Primary resistance
▪failure to achieve preset hematologic and/or
cytogenetic milestones
▪IRIS data indicates a rate of ~ 15%
by failing to a achieve a PCyR at 12 months
and 24% by failing to achieve a CCyr
by 18 months of therapy.
▪rates higher in accelerated and blast phase
disease
Secondary resistance
▪loss of a previously achieved hematologic
or cytogenetic milestone
▪rates may be 10-15% on Imatinib, but
become rarer as time on therapy progresses
▪rates higher in accelerated and blast phase

BONE MARROW TRANSPLANTATION

Allogeneic bone marrow transplantation remains the only known curative

option in CML with Graft vs. Leukemia effect, in molecular relapse can achieve remission by Donor Lymphocyte Infusion
Associated with an increased morbidity and mortality (TRM -10%-30%)
Therefore, not typically applied for upfront therapy for CML
▪ considered only in cases of matched-related donor for extremely young pts (pediatrics)
However, often considered in those with relapsed/refractory disease to TKI based therapies
▪ efficacy of the transplant dependent upon the phase of the disease at the time of the
transplant: CP>AP>BP
