ABSTRACT
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a heterogeneous disease, the prognosis of which varies according to the cytogenetic group. We characterized a rare chromosomal abnormality (del(8p), deletion of the short arm of chromosome 8) in the context of CLL. By comparing the largest cohort of del(8p) CLL to date (n = 57) with a non-del(8p) cohort (n = 155), del(8p) was significantly associated with a poor prognosis, a shorter time to first treatment, worse overall survival (OS), and a higher risk of Richter transformation. For patients treated with fludarabine-based regimens, the next-treatment-free survival and the OS were shorter in del(8p) cases (including those with mutated IGHV). One copy of the TNFRSF10B gene (coding a pro-apoptotic receptor activated by TRAIL) was lost in 91% of del(8p) CLL. TNFRSF10B was haploinsufficient in del(8p) CLL, and was involved in the modulation of fludarabine-induced cell death - as confirmed by our experiments in primary cells and in CRISPR-edited TNFRSF10B knock-out CLL cell lines. Lastly, del(8p) abrogated the synergy between fludarabine and TRAIL-induced apoptosis. Our results highlight del(8p)'s value as a prognostic marker and suggest that fit CLL patients (i.e. with mutated IGHV and no TP53 disruption) should be screened for del(8p) before the initiation of fludarabine-based treatment.
