ABSTRACT

DDX41 germline mutations (DDX41MutGL) are the most common genetic predisposition to myelodysplastic syndrome and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Recent reports suggest that DDX41MutGL myeloid malignancies could be considered as a distinct entity, even if their specific presentation and outcome remain to be defined. We describe here the clinical and biological features of 191 patients with DDX41MutGL AML. Baseline characteristics and outcome of 86 of these patients, treated with intensive chemotherapy in 5 prospective Acute Leukemia French Association/French Innovative Leukemia Organization trials, were compared with those of 1604 patients with DDX41 wild-type (DDX41WT) AML, representing a prevalence of 5%. Patients with DDX41MutGL AML were mostly male (75%), in their seventh decade, and with low leukocyte count (median, 2 × 109/L), low bone marrow blast infiltration (median, 33%), normal cytogenetics (75%), and few additional somatic mutations (median, 2). A second somatic DDX41 mutation (DDX41MutSom) was found in 82% of patients, and clonal architecture inference suggested that it could be the main driver for AML progression. DDX41MutGL patients displayed higher complete remission rates (94% vs 69%; P < .0001) and longer restricted mean overall survival censored at hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) than 2017 European LeukemiaNet intermediate/adverse (Int/Adv) DDX41WT patients (5-year difference in restricted mean survival times, 13.6 months; P < .001). Relapse rates censored at HSCT were lower at 1 year in DDX41MutGL patients (15% vs 44%) but later increased to be similar to Int/Adv DDX41WT patients at 3 years (82% vs 75%). HSCT in first complete remission was associated with prolonged relapse-free survival (hazard ratio, 0.43; 95% confidence interval, 0.21-0.88; P = .02) but not with longer overall survival (hazard ratio, 0.77; 95% confidence interval, 0.35-1.68; P = .5).

ABSTRACT

RATIONALE: There is an unmet need to improve the description of the state of T-cell exhaustion in patients with sepsis, its reproducibility and correlation with the outcomes before including immunotherapy (like recombinant interleukin-7 or immune checkpoint inhibitors) in the therapeutic armamentarium against sepsis. DESIGN: Observational prospective study. SETTING: Two ICUs in a teaching hospital (France). PATIENTS: Eighty patients with sepsis admitted to the ICU. INTERVENTIONS: Quantification of CD4+ and CD8+ T-cell exhaustion at days 1 and 3. Quantification of the exhaustion markers (programmed death [PD]-1, 2B4, and cluster of differentiation [CD] 160) on T cells, the number of CD4+ regulatory T cells (CD3+ CD4+ CD25hi CD127Lo cells), and the phorbol myristate acetate/ionomycin/ionomycin-induced cytokines production (tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-2, and interferon-γ). MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Using unsupervised clustering analysis, patients could be split in three clusters according to their dominant pattern expression of exhaustion markers on CD8+ T cells (i.e., 2B4lowPD-1lowCD160low, 2B4hiPD-1hiCD160low, and 2B4hiPD-1lowCD160hi) regardless of their underlying morbidities. Only 2B4hiPD-1hiCD160low CD8+ T cells had cytokine production defect, whereas 2B4hi PD-1lowCD160hi pattern correlated with cytokine overproduction. Patients with a predominant "highly activated" 2B4hiPD-1lowCD160hi pattern did not develop secondary bacterial infections. By multivariate analysis, Simplified Acute Physiology Score 2 gravity score at day 1 (p = 0.003) and patterns of exhaustion markers on CD8+ T cells (p = 0.03) were associated with the risk of death. Neither the level of CD4+ regulatory T cells nor the CD4+ exhaustion patterns were associated with the outcomes. CONCLUSIONS: Easy-to-use multicolor flow cytometry assessing 2B4, PD-1, and CD160 expression on CD8+ T cells at day 1 identifies septic patients with poor outcome and discriminates patient subsets in who immunomodulatory drugs should be tested.
