Abstract

Background

Childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is curable with chemotherapy in approximately 80 percent of patients. However, the cause of treatment failure in the remaining 20 percent of patients is largely unknown.

Methods

We tested leukemia cells from 173 children for sensitivity in vitro to prednisolone, vincristine, asparaginase, and daunorubicin. The cells were then subjected to an assessment of gene expression with the use of 14,500 probe sets to identify differentially expressed genes in drug-sensitive and drug-resistant ALL. Gene-expression patterns that differed according to sensitivity or resistance to the four drugs were compared with treatment outcome in the original 173 patients and an independent cohort of 98 children treated with the same drugs at another institution.

Results

We identified sets of differentially expressed genes in B-lineage ALL that were sensitive or resistant to prednisolone (33 genes), vincristine (40 genes), asparaginase (35 genes), or daunorubicin (20 genes). A combined gene-expression score of resistance to the four drugs, as compared with sensitivity to the four, was significantly and independently related to treatment outcome in a multivariate analysis (hazard ratio for relapse, 3.0; P=0.027). Results were confirmed in an independent population of patients treated with the same medications (hazard ratio for relapse, 11.85; P=0.019). Of the 124 genes identified, 121 have not previously been associated with resistance to the four drugs we tested.

Conclusions

Differential expression of a relatively small number of genes is associated with drug resistance and treatment outcome in childhood ALL.

Article

Improvements in the treatment of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) over the past four decades have resulted in rates of long-term disease-free survival of approximately 80 percent.1,2 We have shown that children whose ALL cells exhibit in vitro resistance to antileukemic agents have a substantially worse prognosis than children whose ALL cells are drug-sensitive.3-5 However, little is known about the genetic basis of resistance to chemotherapy. Multidrug-resistance genes6 and genes involved in cell-cycle progression,7,8 DNA repair,9 drug metabolism,9-11 and apoptosis12 have been associated with the prognosis of ALL, but their role in determining the sensitivity of ALL cells to individual antileukemic agents is not known. Gene products arising from rearrangements of the TEL-AML1, 13 BCR-ABL, 14 and MLL 15 genes are also associated with prognosis and drug resistance, but for unknown reasons, many patients with a favorable genetic subtype (e.g., TEL-AML1) are not cured, whereas many with an unfavorable subtype (e.g., certain MLL rearrangements) are cured. Although it is likely that multiple pathways and genes contribute to the sensitivity of ALL cells to specific agents,16-18 all studies to date have focused on a small number of candidate genes instead of taking advantage of the genomic survey that is possible with the use of gene-expression profiling. Such profiles have been used successfully to investigate drug resistance in cancer cell lines19,20 and human tumor xenografts,21 but not in primary cancer cells (see GlossaryGlossary.).

Gene-expression profiles can differentiate lineage (T cell or B cell) and molecular subtypes of ALL22-25 and identify treatment-specific changes in gene expression in ALL cells.23 However, it is not known whether gene-expression profiles of leukemia cells are associated with resistance to individual drugs. The present study was undertaken to identify genes that are differentially expressed in primary ALL cells exhibiting resistance or sensitivity to prednisolone, vincristine, asparaginase, or daunorubicin and to determine whether the expression of such genes influences the response to treatment.

Methods

Patients

The study population consisted of 271 children with newly diagnosed ALL: 173 were enrolled as part of the 9th ALL Dutch Childhood Oncology Group protocol at Erasmus Medical Center, Sophia Children's Hospital, in Rotterdam or treatment protocols 92 and 97 of the German Cooperative Study Group for Childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in Hamburg, and 98 were enrolled as part of the Total Therapy protocols XIIIA and XIIIB of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee.26,27 Patients were enrolled in the German protocol from 1992 to 2003, in the Dutch protocol from 1997 to 2004, and in the St. Jude protocols from 1991 to 1998. The original gene-profiling population consisted of the 173 children in the Dutch and German protocols, and the independent-validation population consisted of the 98 patients in the St. Jude protocols. The parents or guardians of the patients provided written informed consent, and the patients provided assent.

Isolation of Leukemia Cells

Bone marrow and peripheral blood were obtained before treatment, and mononuclear cells were isolated by means of sucrose density-gradient centrifugation (density, 1.077 g per milliliter; Lymphoprep, Nycomed Pharma) within 24 hours. Cells were resuspended in RPMI 1640 medium (GIBCO BRL) supplemented with 20 percent fetal-calf serum (Integro), 2 mM L-glutamine, 200 μg of gentamicin per milliliter (GIBCO BRL), 100 IU of penicillin per milliliter, 100 μg of streptomycin per milliliter, 0.125 μg of fungizone per milliliter (GIBCO BRL), 5 μg of insulin per milliliter, 5 μg of transferrin per milliliter, and 5 ng of sodium selenite per milliliter (ITS media supplement, Sigma-Aldrich Chemie). If necessary, ALL samples were further enriched to achieve more than 90 percent blasts by removing nonmalignant cells with the use of immunomagnetic beads (DynaBeads).

Drug-Resistance Assay

The sensitivity of leukemia cells to prednisolone (Bufa Pharmaceutical Products), vincristine (TEVA Pharma), asparaginase (Paronal, Christiaens), and daunorubicin (Cerubidine, Rhône-Poulenc Rorer) was determined with the use of the four-day in vitro 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-tetrazoliumbromide (MTT) drug-resistance assay.3 The following concentrations of each drug were tested: 0.008 to 250 μg of prednisolone per milliliter, 0.05 to 50 μg of vincristine per milliliter, 0.003 to 10 IU of asparaginase per milliliter, and 0.002 to 2.0 μg of daunorubicin per milliliter. The drug concentration lethal to 50 percent of the leukemia cells (the LC50 value) was used as the measure of drug resistance. The LC50 values used to define cells as sensitive or resistant to each agent were those previously associated with a good or bad treatment outcome in patients with ALL (see Table 1 in the Supplementary Appendix, available with the full text of this article at www.nejm.org).3-5

Purification, Labeling, and Hybridization of RNA

Total cellular RNA was extracted from a minimum of 5×106 leukemia cells with the use of Trizol reagent (GIBCO BRL), RNA was additionally purified with phenol–chloroform–isoamylalcohol (25:24:1), and RNA integrity was assessed as previously described.23,24 RNA processing and hybridization to the U133A GeneChip oligonucleotide microarray (Affymetrix) were performed according to the manufacturer's protocol.

Statistical Analysis

Gene-expression values were calculated with the use of Affymetrix Microarray Suite version 5.0.23,24 Expression signals were scaled to the target intensity of 2500 and log-transformed. Arrays were omitted if the scaling factor exceeded 3 SD of the mean or if the ratio of 3' to 5' messenger RNA for β-actin or glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase was greater than 3. From the total of 22,283 probe sets, those expressed in fewer than five patients were omitted, leaving 14,550 probe sets for subsequent analyses.

For each antileukemic agent, we identified genes that were most discriminative for resistance and sensitivity using the Wilcoxon rank-sum test and t-test for each probe set and estimated the false discovery rate using the q value according to Storey and Tibshirani.28 At the selected P value (alpha) for ranked discriminating genes (e.g., P<0.001), the overall significance of the estimated false discovery rate was computed as the probability of observing equal or lower false discovery rates on the basis of 1000 random permutations.

To assess the predictive accuracy using the top 30, 50, and 100 discriminating genes for drug sensitivity as compared with drug resistance, for each drug, we randomly divided the patients with drug-sensitive leukemic cells and the patients with drug-resistant leukemic cells into two groups, using two thirds to build the model and one third to assess the accuracy of the model. This process was repeated 1000 times; in each case we reselected a fixed number of probe sets to build a prediction model using support vector machines. Predictive accuracies of the various gene-expression profiles with respect to the sensitivity of each antileukemic agent and their confidence intervals were computed with the use of data from the 173 Dutch and German patients.

In the outcome analysis, we computed drug-resistance gene-expression scores for the 173 Dutch and German patients in the original population and the 98 St. Jude patients25 in the validation population on the basis of the 172 gene-probe sets that discriminated between leukemic cells that were sensitive and those that were resistant to each of the four drugs. The scores were computed with the use of bagging algorithms.29 For each of the four drugs, we assigned each patient a score of 1 if the cells were predicted to be sensitive and 2 if the cells were predicted to be resistant. After 1000 iterations, the average scores for each of the four drugs for each patient were combined as the final drug-resistance gene-expression score and used in the outcome analysis. For the analysis of disease-free survival, any type of leukemia relapse was considered. The duration of disease-free survival was defined as the time from diagnosis until the date of treatment failure. Data were censored at the time of the last follow-up visit in the absence of treatment failure. Cox proportional-hazards regression analysis was used to assess the association between the combined gene-expression score and treatment outcome. Leukemia-free survival was analyzed with the use of Fine and Gray's estimator accounting for competing events.30

We used Fisher's exact test to determine the degree of overrepresentation or underrepresentation of discriminating genes in specific functional groups as compared with the genes on the U133A GeneChip, using the Gene Ontology database (http://www.geneontology.org/). Probe sets with the same gene symbol were counted as one. Primary data are available through the GeneExpression Omnibus of the National Center for Biotechnology Information at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/ (Platform, GPL91; Sample, GSM9653 to 9934; Series, GSE635 to 660).

Results

Gene expression was determined in ALL cells from 173 patients with newly diagnosed disease whose leukemia cells were either sensitive or resistant to prednisolone, vincristine, asparaginase, or daunorubicin, as assessed by the in vitro MTT assay. The distribution of LC50 values (the drug concentration lethal to half the cultured lymphoblasts) in our study population did not differ significantly from that of the entire population of approximately 700 patients for whom we had previously determined the sensitivity status to each of these antileukemic agents (Figure 1Figure 1Distribution of the Drug Concentrations Lethal to 50 Percent of Primary Leukemia Cells (LC50) in the Study Group and in the Larger Population of Children with ALL.). Likewise, the proportion of patients classified as having sensitive or resistant leukemia cells, according to previously defined LC50 values (Table 1 in the Supplementary Appendix)3-5 did not differ significantly between the study group and the entire population (Figure 1). The leukocyte counts, age at diagnosis, proportions of girls and boys, and immunophenotypes in the drug-sensitive and drug-resistant groups for each antileukemic agent are summarized in Table 2 in the Supplementary Appendix.

Prediction of Sensitivity and Resistance with the Use of Differentially Expressed Genes

Unsupervised hierarchical clustering, which groups patients according to the predominant similarities in gene expression, did not cluster patients according to their resistance to any of the four antileukemic agents. Rather, patients were clustered predominantly according to immunophenotype or ALL genetic subtype (Figure 1 in the Supplementary Appendix).24 Because cases of T-cell ALL have a strong gene-expression signature, subsequent analyses were performed with the use of all samples or only the samples of B-lineage ALL (Table 2 in the Supplementary Appendix). At 28, the number of cases of T-cell ALL was too small for a separate analysis.

Supervised methods (i.e., the Wilcoxon rank-sum test or t-test) were used to identify genes associated with resistance or sensitivity to each drug (Figure 2Figure 2Results of Supervised Hierarchical-Clustering and Principal-Component Analyses with the Use of Genes That Discriminate between Drug-Resistant and Drug-Sensitive B-Lineage ALL with Respect to Prednisolone, Vincristine, Asparaginase, and Daunorubicin.). The Wilcoxon rank-sum test and t-test yielded similar results. The results of permutation analyses of gene-probe sets associated with resistance to prednisolone, vincristine, and asparaginase were significant overall (all P<0.05) (Table 3 in the Supplementary Appendix) in the total population and within the B-lineage ALL group, whereas those of analyses of gene-probe sets associated with resistance to daunorubicin were significant in the B-lineage ALL group, but not at the level of P<0.05 in the group as a whole. The false discovery rate was higher for daunorubicin than for the other three drugs. For all drugs, the false discovery rates were lower in the B-lineage ALL group than in the total group and highest for daunorubicin (Table 3 in the Supplementary Appendix). Using the top 30, 50, and 100 discriminating genes for each drug yielded predictive accuracies of 67 to 73 percent. For B-lineage ALL, the estimated predictive accuracies were higher, ranging from 71 to 76 percent (Table 5 in the Supplementary Appendix).

Supervised Clustering and Principal-Component Analysis

The number of genes used to build drug-resistance models for each antileukemic agent was based on the false discovery rate and predictive accuracy (Tables 3, 4, and 5 in the Supplementary Appendix). This determination resulted in 172 probe sets corresponding to 124 unique genes and 28 complementary DNA clones (some genes are represented on the array by multiple probe sets) that were differentially expressed in sensitive and resistant B-lineage ALL. This included 42 gene-probe sets for prednisolone, 59 for vincristine, 54 for asparaginase, and 22 for daunorubicin. Hierarchical clustering with the use of these probe sets correctly assigned the drug-sensitivity status (as sensitive or resistant) of 66 of 74 cases with respect to prednisolone, 84 of 104 with respect to vincristine, 83 of 106 with respect to asparaginase, and 86 of 105 with respect to daunorubicin (Figure 2) (Table 4 in the Supplementary Appendix). Similarly, principal-component analyses correctly grouped samples from most patients into the resistant or sensitive cluster for each of the four antileukemic agents (Figure 2). Hierarchical clustering and principal-component analyses involving all 173 patients gave similar results (Figures 3 and 4 in the Supplementary Appendix). The probe-set identification, gene names, annotations, and the gene-expression ratio in resistant as compared with sensitive leukemia cells for discriminating genes are shown for each drug in Figures 5, 6, 7, and 8 (B-lineage ALL) and 9, 10, 11, and 12 (B-lineage and T-cell ALL combined) in the Supplementary Appendix.

Resistance Genes, Combined Gene-Expression Scores, and Treatment Outcome

For the 173 patients treated according to the Dutch and German protocols, the median follow-up was 4.2 years; 132 patients remained in continuous complete remission, 40 patients relapsed, and 1 patient had a second cancer, at which time data on this patient were censored. A high combined gene-expression score indicative of resistance to the four drugs was associated with a significantly increased risk of relapse (P=0.001) (Figure 3AFigure 3Kaplan–Meier Estimates of Disease-free Survival among 173 Patients in the Original Study Group (Panel A) and 98 Patients in the Validation Cohort (Panel B), According to Whether the Pattern of Gene Expression Indicated Cellular Resistance or Sensitivity to the Four Antileukemic Agents.). The combined drug-resistance gene-expression score also predicted the outcome of treatment in a multivariate analysis that included the patient's age, ALL genetic subtype, ALL lineage, and leukocyte count at diagnosis (hazard ratio for relapse with a high score as compared with a low score, 3.0; P=0.027) (Table 1Table 1Multivariate Proportional-Hazards Analysis of the Risk of Relapse.).

The combined gene-expression score was tested in an independent cohort of 98 U.S. patients who had been treated with these four drugs, but according to a different protocol. The median follow-up of these patients was 7.0 years; 17 patients relapsed, 9 had competing events (7 had second cancers, and remission failed in 2), and 72 remained in continuous complete remission. As in the training set, a high combined drug-resistance gene-expression score was associated with a significantly increased risk of relapse (P=0.003) (Figure 3B). When the patient's age, genetic subtype of ALL, ALL lineage, and leukocyte count at diagnosis were included in a multivariate analysis, a high combined drug-resistance gene-expression score was independently associated with a higher probability of relapse than was a low score (hazard ratio, 11.85; P=0.019) (Table 1).

Ontology Classification of Discriminating Genes

Genes that could be used to identify B-lineage ALL that was resistant to each antileukemic agent were grouped into functional categories according to the Gene Ontology database (Figure 4Figure 4Gene Ontology (GO) Functional Classification of Genes That Discriminated between Drug-Sensitive and Drug-Resistant B-Lineage ALL.). As compared with the entire array, the 42 gene-probe sets related to prednisolone sensitivity had a higher percentage of genes involved in carbohydrate metabolism (25 percent vs. 11 percent, P=0.039). As compared with the entire array, the gene-probe sets related to vincristine sensitivity had a higher percentage of genes involved in nucleic acid metabolism (39 percent vs. 23 percent, P=0.021), and the gene-probe sets related to asparaginase sensitivity had a higher percentage of protein metabolism genes (53 percent vs. 20 percent, P<0.001).

Genes Previously Linked with Drug Resistance or Prognosis in ALL

Of the 124 differentially expressed genes, to our knowledge 121 have not previously been linked to resistance to the four agents investigated. Only three genes for which results were significant in our analyses (RPL6, ARHA, and SLC2A14) have previously been associated with resistance to doxorubicin (RPL6 31 and ARHA 32) or vincristine (SLC2A14 33). Other genes previously associated with drug resistance or prognosis were not associated with sufficient statistical significance (i.e., P<0.001) for inclusion in our models (Tables 4 and 7 in the Supplementary Appendix).

Discussion

We have identified genes that are differentially expressed in ALL cells with resistance to four antileukemic drugs and have shown that the pattern of expression of these genes is related to the outcome of treatment. The expression of 172 gene-probe sets (representing 124 unique known genes and 28 complementary DNA clones) in primary B-lineage leukemia cells was associated with resistance to prednisolone (42 probe sets), vincristine (59 probe sets), asparaginase (54 probe sets), and daunorubicin (22 probe sets). Of these 124 genes, to our knowledge 121 have not previously been associated with resistance to the four agents. Twelve other genes that have previously been associated with drug resistance or prognosis in ALL were differentially expressed in sensitive and resistant ALL but not at the level required for inclusion in our models (P<0.001). No universal cross-resistance gene was identified, since no single gene was associated with resistance to all four drugs. Discriminating genes belong to numerous functional groups, and specific functional categories were significantly overrepresented for some antileukemic agents (Figure 4). These findings document that resistance to mechanistically distinct antileukemic agents is associated with the expression of different functional groups of genes and support the use of combination chemotherapy for cancer treatment.

Our findings point to previously unrecognized potential targets for new agents to augment the efficacy of current chemotherapy for ALL. For example, in prednisolone-resistant ALL there was overexpression of the antiapoptosis gene MCL1 and underexpression of several transcription-associated genes (e.g., SMARCB1, PRPF18, and CTCF), in asparaginase-resistant ALL there was overexpression of several ribosomal protein genes (e.g., RPL3, RPL4, RPL5, RPL6, and RPL11), and in vincristine-resistant ALL there was altered expression of cytoskeleton and extracellular-matrix genes (e.g., TMSB10, PDLIM1, and DSC3). It will be important to determine whether modulation of the proteins encoded by these genes will enhance treatment efficacy in patients with drug-resistant ALL.

It is noteworthy that the gene-expression signatures associated with resistance to individual antileukemic agents were also related to the response to treatment. The robustness of these signatures was validated in an independent population of patients who were treated with these same drugs, but in a different country and according to a different protocol. In a multivariate analysis that included the patient's age, ALL genetic subtype, ALL lineage, and leukocyte count, the combined gene-expression score remained significantly related to the risk of relapse in both the training and validation populations (Table 1). This indicates that the expression of genes associated with drug resistance has an independent influence on the outcome of treatment in ALL. Because genes associated with sensitivity or resistance differ for each antileukemic agent, our findings point to strategies whereby one could modulate specific components of therapy to which an individual patient is resistant.
