    Notes: Abstract The pulmonary deposition and pharmacokinetics of insulin, administered via an endotracheal tube as an aerosol and instillate, in formulations containing either 113mIn-DTPA or 99mTc-DTPA (for gamma scintigraphic imaging) have been studied in four male New Zealand White rabbits. Using a randomized crossover design, the pharmacokinetics of intravenous insulin were also characterized. Recovery of immunoreactive insulin after nebulization was greater than 90%, indicating that the aerosolisation procedure did not cause appreciable insulin degradation. Gamma scintigraphy demonstrated that the penetration index (peripheral:central deposition) for the aerosolized formulation (1.52) was much greater than that for the instillate (0.32). Gamma scintigraphy also allowed exact quantification of the dose deposited after aerosol administration and thus permitted accurate determination of bioavailabilities. The bioavailable fraction for aerosolized insulin was 10-fold greater than for instilled insulin (57.2 vs 5.6%). Mucociliary clearance was likely to be greater for the instillate since it showed a preferential central deposition; this may account for the lower bioavailability. Insulin pharmacokinetics from both pulmonary formulations were absorption rate limited, resulting in postpeak half-lives which were approximately 20-fold greater than the intravenous elimination half-life (3 min). The apparent absorption rate constants resulting from instillation and aerosolisation were statistically equivalent (0.015 and 0.011 min−1, respectively). Mucociliary clearance of insulin would result in an overestimation of the true absorption rate constant; hence if mucociliary transport were greater for the instillate, then the true airways to blood transfer rate constant will be higher for the aerosolized formulation.

    Notes: More than 30 enantiomeric alcohols have been analyzed, without prior derivatization, by gas chromatography using a fused silica capillary column coated with octakis(3-O-trifluoro-acetyl-2,6-di-O-n-pentyl)-γ-cyclodextrin. Most were analyzed over a range of isothermal temperatures from 35 to 70°C. Enantiomeric separations were observed for most of the analytes, even at temperatures as low as 35°C.The stereoselectivity of the stationary phase was found to depend on the length of the longest carbon chain attached to the stereogenic centre in 2- and 3-hydroxy alkanes, the relative positions of the methyl and hydroxyl substituents in methylsubstituted alcohols, and the effects of multiple bonds in the analyte molecule. Thermodynamic data calculated from the results suggest that the enantiomers of all the analytes are resolved by a similar process. Retention and thermodynamic data are presented and possible mechanisms discussed.

    Description: The nonobese diabetic/severe combined immunodeficient (NOD/SCID) assay is the current model for assessment of human normal and leukemic stem cells. We explored why 51% of 59 acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients were unable to initiate leukemia in NOD/SCID mice. Increasing the cell dose, using more permissive recipients, and alternative tissue sources did not cause AML engraftment in most previously nonengrafting AML samples. Homing of AML cells to the marrow was the same between engrafters and nonengrafters. FLT3 internal tandem duplication (ITD) and nucleophosmin mutations occurred at a similar frequency in engrafters and nonengrafters. The only variable that was related to engraftment ability was the karyotypically defined risk stratification of individual AML cases. Of interest, follow-up of younger patients with intermediate-risk AML revealed a significant difference in overall survival between NOD/SCID engrafting and nonengrafting AMLs. Hence, the ability of AML to engraft in the NOD/SCID assay seems to be an inherent property of AML cells, independent of homing, conditioning, or cell frequency/source, which is directly related to prognosis. Our results suggest an important difference between leukemic initiating cells between engrafting and nonengrafting AML cases that correlates with treatment response.

    Description: Mutation studies in Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML) are complicated by the existence of distinct morphological and cytogenetic subtypes; consequently although mutations in any one gene may occur in only 5% of AML, the frequency of mutation may differ both between the different FAB-types and cytogenetic risk groups studied. It is important therefore not only to validate the screening methodology used but also the suitability of the patient panel tested. A screening panel was developed allowing detection of novel recurring gene mutations within samples derived from patients with AML. Mutation analysis of 6 previously described genes (RUNX1, FLT3, KIT, CEBPA, PTPN11, NRAS) and 2 candidate genes (CCND3, FES) were carried out in a cohort of 175 AML samples representing all FAB types (except M3) and cytogenetic risk groups using a combination of SSCP, DHPLC and sequence analysis. One hundred and fifteen mutations were identified in 97 (55%) patients comprising 81 patients (46%) with one mutation, 14 patients (8%) with 2 mutations, and 2 patients (1%) with 3 mutations. Fifty-five out of 88 (63%) patients with normal karyotype AML had at least one mutation. There was was a weak negative association between FLT3 ITD and loop mutation (p = 0.095), a positive association between KIT mutation and favourable risk cytogenetics (p = 0.001), CEBPA mutation and intermediate risk/normal cytogenetics (p = 0.045) and PTPN11 mutation and poor risk disease (p = 0.001). The frequency of individual gene mutation was in accordance with previously published studies. Three novel mutations of FLT3 (Y589D, D839G, Y842H) were detected in 4 patients that would have been overlooked by conventional gel electrophoresis techniques. A single in frame 51bp deletion of nucleotide 939 – 990, resulting in a deletion of 17 amino acids at the carboxyl-terminus of the cyclin D3 protein was identified in a single patient. Overall, both the pattern and mutation frequencies reported in this cohort are similar to those in the literature supporting its further use as an investigational tool in the evaluation of candidate genes in the genesis of myeloid malignancy.

    Description: Our group has previously shown an association between acquired uniparental disomy 11p and homozygous gene mutation of Wilm’s tumour 1 (WT1) in a patient with normal karyotype acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Based on this observation the incidence of WT1 mutation was investigated in a cohort of normal karyotype AMLs. Mutation screening was performed on 70 patients (median age 55 years, range 19–78 years) by a PCR-direct sequencing approach using intronic primers flanking exons 2–10 of WT1. Mutation status was inferred from the resultant traces and confirmed by use of TOPO TA cloning and sequence analysis of the corresponding mutated clones. Mutations were detected in 7/70 (10%) patients; these typically resulted in insertion of 1–16 bp that led to the disruption of the DNA binding domain of the protein. The mutation profile of FLT3-ITD, NPM and CEBPA was also examined in this cohort of patients to compare the additional mutational events present in WT1 mutated and non-mutated cases. A significant positive association was observed between WT1 and FLT3-ITD mutation with 6/7 WT1 mutated cases having a FLT3-ITD compared to 20/63 non mutated cases (p=0.01). There was no association between mutations in WT1 and either of the good prognostic mutational markers, CEBPA and NPM. All 6 patients with both WT1 and FLT3 mutations were refractory to intensive induction chemotherapy with WT1 mutation showing a trend towards a worse overall survival when compared with the non-mutated group (p=0.07). We can conclude therefore that WT1 is mutated in 10% of normal karyotype AML, is positively associated with FLT3-ITD status and identifies a putative subgroup of normal karyotype AML who fail to achieve remission with conventional cytotoxic therapy and have a poor overall survival. Validation of this data in larger series would support the inclusion of WT1 in the current molecular risk stratification of normal karyotype AML based on CEBPA, NPM and FLT3-ITD status.

    Description: Abstract 1578 While self renewal is an essential feature for the maintenance of both normal hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and leukemic stem cells (LSCs), very little is known about the underlying molecular pathways. Here we report a critical functional interplay between Bmi1 and Hox in establishment of HSCs and LSCs. Using Bmi1-/- bone marrow cells, we observe that leukemia-associated fusion proteins have distinctive Bmi1 requirements. AML1-ETO (AE) and PLZF-RARα (PR) fail to transform Bmi1-/- primary hematopoietic cells, and induce expression of p16/Arf leading to oncogene-induced senescence (OIS). In contrast, MLL-AF9 driving expression of multiple Hox genes can bypass oncogene-induced senescence and exhibits modest Bmi1-dependence for establishment of LSCs, which can induce leukemia upon serial transplants. Since members of Hox genes with proclaimed self-renewal property are specifically up-regulated by MLL fusions in patient samples and our murine models, we asked the question if these Hox genes may partly compensate the functions associated with the loss of Bmi1. To this end, we generated compound Bmi1-/-Hoxa9-/- mice, which have even more compromised hematopoietic stem cell/progenitor compartments than those of Bmi1-/- or Hoxa9-/- mice. Bmi1-/-Hoxa9-/- mice have a greater than eight-fold reduction in the absolute number of Lin-Sca+kit+ (LSK) in the bone marrow as compared to Bmi1-/- mice and a very significant forty-fold reduction for long term hematopoietic stem cells (LT-HSC). More importantly, while MAF9 is able to transform wild type, Bmi1-/- and Hoxa9-/-, it fails to transform Bmi1-/-Hoxa9-/- cells for establishment of LSCs, which can however be resurrected by re-expression of either Bmi1 or Hoxa9, indicating a critical functional interplay between these protein in development of MLL LSCs. Consistent with the known function of Bmi1 in suppressing cellular senescence and the expression of p16/Arf loci, we showed that Hoxa9 alone can also inhibit replicative senescence and Ras-induced senescence in primary human fibroblast. Forced expression of Hoxa9 can suppress p16/Arf expression, as well as cellular senescence induced by AE and PR in Bmi1-/- cells. Together, these results reveal a previously unrecognized functional interplay between Hox and Bmi1 in regulating cell senescence and development of LSCs induced by fusion proteins, which also suggests that synergistic targeting of both molecules may be required for certain LSCs.
