Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Evaluate diagnostic and prognostic value of CD26 positive stem cell Stem Cells in classic myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs).

To study CD26 expression on different phases of CML (chronic phase, accelerated phase, blastic phase).

To investigate whether CD26 positive stem cell are expressed only in Philadelphia chromosome positive MPN (CML) and/or in Philadelphia chromosome negative MPN (PV, ET, PMF).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Classic Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) are a heterogeneous group of diseases including Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), polycythemia vera (PV), essential thrombocythemia (ET), and primary myelofibrosis (PMF) (Levine et al., 2007).

According to WHO 2016 classification which also included chronic neutrophilic leukemia (CNL), chronic eosinophilic leukemia (CEL), and MPN, unclassifiable, Out of the four classic types of MPNs, CML is positive for BCR-ABL1gene , while PV, ET, and PMF are negative for BCR-ABL1 gene (Thapa and Rogers, 2019).

CML is characterized by a balanced genetic translocation, t(9;22)(q34;q11.2), involving a fusion of the Abelson gene (ABL1) from chromosome 9q34 with the breakpoint cluster region (BCR) gene on chromosome 22q11.2. This rearrangement is known as the Philadelphia chromosome, The molecular consequence of this translocation is the generation of a BCR-ABL1 fusion oncogene, which in turn translates into a BCR-ABL oncoprotein (Jabbour and Kantarjian, 2016).

The frontline therapy for patients with CML in chronic phase is tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) which directed against tyrosine kinase protein of BCR-ABL1 gene. It showed remarkable efficacy and high rates of cytogenetic response in the treatment of chronic phase CML (Yurttaş and Eşkazan, 2020).

However, drug resistance towards tyrosine kinase inhibitors soon emerged and hence limited the complete eradication of CML in patients receiving TKIs. This is primarily due to the mutations within the ABL kinase domain, and to a lesser degree, due to residual disease after treatment (Patel et al., 2018).

Dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPPIV/CD26) is a transmembrane glycoprotein which has been proposed as an important tumor biomarker in different types of cancer, like melanoma, lung cancer, prostate cancer, gastric and colorectal cancer (Liang et al., 2017) .

CD26 expression in hematological malignancies has been widely studied. It was described as a marker of aggressiveness in T cell malignancies, such as T-acute lymphoblastic leukemias (T-ALL),and associated with poor prognosis and survival ,also found variable expression of CD26 in B cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) (Enz et al., 2019).

Identification and characterization of leukemic stem cells (LSCs) in CML are one of the recently used investigations. These cells reside within the CD34 positive /CD38 negative and score positive for CD26 which is a marker, expressed in both bone marrow (BM) and peripheral blood (PB) samples, that discriminates CML cells from normal hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) or from LSCs of other myeloid neoplasms (Raspadori et al., 2017).

the percentage of CD26 LSCs is significantly reduced to low or undetectable levels in CML patients who respond to TKI therapy; however, the percentage of CD26 LSCs remains at high levels in TKI-non responder patients and in patients who have relapsed after TKI therapy, indicating that CD26 could be a useful predictive biomarker for monitoring TKI treatment in CML patients (Raspadori et al., 2019).
