N2 - Mixed lineage leukemia (MLL) rearrangements represent about 20% of pediatric acute myeloid leukemia(AML) cases. Survival rates have increased over the past decades due to intensified chemotherapyprotocols and improved supportive care. Still, approximately 30-40% will relapse during or after therapy.The role of microRNAs (miRNAs) in leukemogenesis of MLL-rearranged AML, especially towards thedevelopment of relapse is unknown. To determine whether specific miRNAs are involved in relapsedevelopment, we performed miRNA profiling, using TaqMan Low Density Array (TLDA) in pediatric AMLwith a special focus on MLL-rearranged cases. First, we compared miRNA profiles of de novo pediatricAML patients that relapsed with those that did not relapse. Secondly, we did the same comparison, onlyfocussing on the MLL-rearranged subset. Third, we investigated the role of miRNAs in clonal evolution byinvestigating the differential expression of 6 paired initial diagnosis-relapses MLL-rearranged AML cases.An independent set of 6 paired initial diagnosis-relapse cases with MLL-rearrangements was used to confirm the identified miRNAs using single stemloop RT-qPCR. [...]Together, our data indicate that miR-106b-25 cluster may play an important role in relapse pediatric AML with MLL-rearrangements. Further research is warranted to identify the role of this cluster for clinical resistance and as treatment target.
