Abstract

Objective: To investigate the expression of SET-NUP214 fusion gene in hematological malignancies and to analyze its related clinical biological characteristics. Methods: The clinical data of 24 patients with SET-NUP214 fusion gene-positive hematological malignancies were retrospectively analyzed, and the Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis. Results: Among the 24 patients with SET-NUP214 fusion gene, 15 cases of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) (13 cases of T-ALL and 2 cases of B-ALL) , 7 cases of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) , and 2 cases of T/myeloid mixed acute leukemia have been identified. The immunophenotype of 13 cases of T-ALL was mainly characterized by CD3(+)CD2(-), 73.3% of ALL was characterized by myeloid marker expression, and 85.7% of AML was characterized by CD7 expression. Complete remission (CR) was achieved in 22 patients (91.7%) after induction chemotherapy. All 24 patients received allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) . With a median follow-up of 24 months, the 3-year relapse free survival (RFS) of AML and ALL was 85.7% and 33.3%, respectively (P=0.128) . Comparing 13 cases of SET-NUP214-positive and 62 cases of SET-NUP214-negative T-ALL, the CR rates of induction chemotherapy were 92.3% and 93.5% (P=0.445) , and the 4-week CR rates of induction chemotherapy were 69.2% and 72.6%, respectively (P=0.187) ; the differences were not statistically significant. After HSCT, the 3-year RFS of SET-NUP214(+)T-ALL and SET-NUP214(-)T-ALL was 38.5% and 66.4%, respectively (P=0.028) , and the difference was statistically significant. Conclusion: The SET-NUP214 fusion gene is mainly detected in T cell-derived hematological malignancies, and the prognosis of SET-NUP214 positive T-ALL is relatively poor.

目的: 探讨SET-NUP214融合基因在血液恶性肿瘤中的表达,分析其相关的临床及生物学特征。 方法: 回顾性分析2012年1月至2018年12月北京大学人民医院诊断的24例SET-NUP214融合基因阳性血液恶性肿瘤患者的临床资料,并采用Kaplan-Meier法进行生存分析。 结果: 24例患者中,急性淋巴细胞白血病(ALL)15例(T-ALL 13例,B-ALL 2例)、急性髓系白血病(AML)7例,T/髓混合急性白血病2例。13例T-ALL患者免疫表型以CD3(+)CD2(-)为主要特征,73.3%的ALL患者伴有髓系标志表达,85.7%的AML患者表达CD7。24例患者诱导化疗完全缓解(CR)率91.7%。全部患者均接受异基因造血干细胞移植,中位随访24个月,AML和ALL的3年无复发生存(RFS)率分别为85.7%和33.3%,差异无统计学意义(P=0.128)。比较13例SET-NUP214阳性与62例SET-NUP214阴性T-ALL患者的疗效,诱导化疗CR率分别为92.3%和93.5%(P=0.445),诱导化疗4周CR率分别为69.2%和72.6%(P=0.187),差异均无统计学意义。接受造血干细胞移植后,SET-NUP214阳性T-ALL患者的3年RFS率(38.5%)明显低于SET-NUP214阴性T-ALL患者(66.4%)(P=0.028)。 结论: SET-NUP214融合基因主要见于T细胞源性血液肿瘤,伴SET-NUP214融合基因T-ALL预后较差。.
