ABSTRACT
Nucleophosmin 1 (NPM1) mutation is one of the most prevalent genetic mutations in adult acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and is particularly predominant in AML with a normal karyotype. NPM1 is a chaperone protein that plays various roles in several cellular processes. Wild-type NPM1 is normally localized to the nucleus, whereas mutant NPM1 proteins exhibit altered cytoplasmic localization. Clinically, AML with mutated NPM1 without FLT3-ITD is associated with a higher complete remission rate and improved overall survival. AML with mutated NPM1 is categorized as a distinct genetic entity in the World Health Organization classification of hematopoietic malignancies due to its unique clinical and biological features. However, the precise roles of NPM1 in normal hematopoiesis and in AML development remain unclear. Recent studies have revealed various clinical applications of NPM1 mutations in AML treatment, particularly in measurable residual disease analyses that target mutant NPM1 transcripts and in potential therapeutic applications of menin inhibitors and XPO-1 inhibitors for AML with mutated NPM1. Thus, NPM1 mutation is highly significant in AML classification, prognosis, response assessment, and molecular targeted therapies. Here, we review recent progress in clinical and biological aspects of AML with mutated NPM1 including molecular targeted therapy.
