CB 02
Oncogenic progression related to insertional mutagenesis
Risk ~ 10-7 per insertion in human TF-1 leukemia cells
(Stocking et al., 1993)
Insertional mutagenesis promotes tumor formation in
numerous animal models, but single insertion never
sufficient to explain malignancy
No disease induction reported using replication-defective
vectors designed for gene therapy in numerous preclinical
and clinical trials, probably involving manipulation of >1012
hematopoietic or lymphoid cells
Side effects of transgene or active replication required for
pathogenesisCB 02

AML after Retroviral Gene Marking in Mice
Long latency: No overt disease in first cohort (7 mo)
10/10 secondary recipients developed dysplasia or AML M5 (5 mo)
Leukemia is transplantable to 3° cohort (lethal)
Monoclonal origin, heterogenous kinetics,
however identical entity with reproducible phenotype
Aberrant clone has single vector integration
Vector is intact and continues to express dLNGFR

Evi-1
Transcription factor, known oncogene
Endogenous expression in primitive stem cells
Ectopic expression blocks granulocytic and erythroid differentiation
promotes megakaryocytic hematopoiesis
Activation implicated in MDS and AML (usually immature phenotype)
Tg mice at increased risk for leukemia (dysplastic hematopoiesis)
Not sufficient to explain AML M5

CB 02
Trk receptors and human leukemia
TrkA was detected in some leukemic cell lines, such as UT-7(acute megakaryoblastic leukemia), K562 and TF1 (erythroleukemia), and myeloid cell lines HEL, HL60 and KG1, but not in myeloid cell lines U937 and THP-1 (Chevalier et al., 1994, Auffray et al.,1996, Kaebisch et al., 1996).
So far, there are only 3 reports on expression of p75NTR and Trk receptors in primary leukemia:
• 44% TrkA gene expression in patients with AML (Kaebisch et al., 1996).
• A translocation t(12;15) (p13;q25) was found in an AML patient, which resulted in a fusion RNA ETV6-TrkC (Eguchi et al., 1999).
• A deleted form of TrkA, TrkA, was identified in AML patients. 75-aa deletion in the extracellular domain resulted in constitutive tyrosine phosphorylation of the protein, which also transforms fibroblasts (Reuther et al., 2000).
These data suggest a possible role of Trk receptors and their mutant forms in leukemia development (however, so far no evidence for transformation of lymphatic cells).

AML after Retroviral Gene Transfer into Murine HSC
Integration site causal role likely, but not sufficient
Role of transgene causal contribution suggested
Role of vector architecture no splice acceptor
5-FU exposure of donor not a strong mutagen, common procedure
Forced expansion in serial BMT possibly promoting, but not cause
Difference rodent vs. human cells ?
Implications for other cell types ?
