Abstract
T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) is an aggressive hematological disease in which multiple genetic abnormalities cooperate in the malignant transformation of T-lymphoid progenitors. Although in pediatric T-ALL, CDKN1B deletions occur in about 12% of the cases and represent one of the most frequent copy number alterations, neither their association with other genetic alterations nor the clinical characteristics of these patients have been determined yet. In this study, we show that loss of CDKN1B increased the prevalence of cell cycle regulator defects in immature T-ALL, usually only ascribed to CDKN2A/B deletions, and that CDKN1B deletions frequently coincide with expression of MEF2C, considered as one of the driving oncogenes in immature early T-cell precursor (ETP) ALL. However, MEF2C-dysregulation was only partially associated with the immunophenotypic characteristics used to define ETP-ALL. Furthermore, MEF2C expression levels were significantly associated with or may even be predictive of the response to glucocorticoid treatment.
