Impact of NFE2 mutations on AML transformation and overall survival in patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms

Abstract: Marcault et al report the impact of NFE2 mutations on the prognosis of patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) in a study of over 700 patients for whom sequential next-generation sequencing was available. NFE2 mutations were reported in 9.1% of patients and predicted for increased transformation and decreased survival. Since histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors decrease NFE2 levels, patients with NFE2 mutations may benefit from HDAC inhibitors.

“…Conversely, in a larger recent study, multivariate analysis of the data from 707 patients with MPNs (113 PMF, 233 PV, 332 ET) and available NGS data demonstrated that NF-E2 mutations (VAF ≥ 5%) carried a hazard ratio (HR) of 10.29 for transformation to AML (independently from age and co-occurring HMR mutations) and an HR of 8.24 for OS [ 117 ]. The HR of NF-E2 mutations was about fivefold higher for leukemogenesis and fourfold higher for OS compared to HMR mutations, respectively, thereby associating NF-E2 gene mutations with an aggressive disease course [ 117 ]. Notably, the NF-E2 VAF decreased at the time of leukemic transformation compared to the chronic phase, indicating that NF-E2 -mutated cells may be outcompeted by another new dominant clone.…”

“…Patients harboring NF-E2 mutations had a higher median hematocrit than non-mutated patients in line with its association with the myeloproliferative phenotype and higher incidence in PV (7.3%) vs. PMF (5.3%) and ET (3.6%) [ 117 ]. As previously noted, NF-E2 mutations were acquired later in the disease course [ 25 ], induced significantly lower rates of hematological responses leading to the necessity for more lines of treatment, and were detected in 40% of the patients who lost response to treatment [ 117 ]. On the basis of these findings, analysis of NF-E2 mutations can be performed at diagnosis and in follow-up or upon loss of response to treatment.…”

“…Notably, NFE2 was mutated in 3 unrelated patients, including two nonsense mutations and one missense mutation in the important BRLZ domain (Figure 4A). NFE2 encodes a transcription factor involved in megakaryocyte development and platelet production 25,26 , which is mutated in more than 1% of MDS and around 0.7% of leukemia patients 27,28 (Figure 4B). However, NFE2 has not been reported as a gene associated with clonal hematopoiesis.…”

“…In a retrospective analysis of post-MPN AML patients, using the Mantel-Byar test to control for immortality bias, allo-SCT failed to significantly improve OS [ 58 ]. There is also discussion about the timing of transplant and whether or not it should be considered in high-risk patients prior to LT. Interestingly, Marcault et al found that somatic mutations of nuclear factor erythroid 2 (NFE2 ) were detected at different time points during the MPN disease course and were associated with loss of treatment response [ 59 ]. Taken together, further work to identify signals to prompt transplant, such as NFE2 mutations, before MPN patients transform to leukemia may be a promising area of future research.…”
