2 FROM « LEUCOCYTHEMIA » TO TARGETED THERAPIES
1996 Imatinib (IM) IRIS Complete Remissions Resistances Mutations BCR-ABL Novel TKI Dasatinib Nilotinib 1845 Bennett, Virchow 1974 t (9;22) J. Rowley 1960 Ph Chromosome Nowell & Hungerford 1984 BCR-ABL

3 HEMATOPOIETIC STEM CELLS (HSC)
Quiescence (G0) ASYMMETRICAL DIVISION Self-renewal Differentiation OU ProgenitorsP HSC Mature Cells: Red blood cells, Platelets, Granulocytes

4 HSC: MAJOR PROLIFERATIVE ACTIVITY
Granulocytes Red blood cells Platelets # of RBC produced / day (Adult 70kg)= ~ 10 Billion cells / hour

5 CML: A STEM CELL DISEASE WITH CLONAL EVOLUTION
Ph+ Quiescent Acquisition Of BCR-ABL Ph+ Ph+ Clonal Evolution Ph+/ACA Normal HSC Differentiation Arrest Blast Crisis Differentiation to terminal Progeny (Granulocytes, Erythro-Mega, B cells) Tough et al, Lancet 1963 Whange et al, Blood 1963 Fialkow et al PNAS 1967

6 NORMAL OR CML HSC CAN BE ASSAYED ONLY USING INDIRECT METHODS
Long-term Culture 6 Weeks culture: LTC-IC assay Human CD34+ cells 2-3 months: NOG-IC assay Bone marrow Spleen of mice Method 2: Engraftment In immunodeficient mouse Detection Of Human cells

DO BCR-ABL EXPRESSING STEM CELLS PERSIST IN PATIENTS IN CMR ON IM vs TKI2 ? IMATINIB Vs DASATINIB / NILOTINIB « PERSISTEM » STUDY

14 PERSISTEM STUDY: (Jan 2012)
CMR > 1-2 YEARS INDUCED BY IM : 17 patients INDUCED BY DASATINIB 2 patients Goal: DETECTION & QUANTIFICATION OF BCR-ABL EXPRESSING LSC WHAT IS THE FREQENCY OF LSC MRI POST- IM VS TKI2 ? POST NILOTINIB VS DASATINIB ?

15 MECHANISMS OF SURVIVAL OF Ph1+ STEM CELLS IN THE PRESENCE OF TKI?
« Oncogene- Independence » ABL-K mutations Inefficent drug delivery (transport) Alternate mechanisms of survival Survival signals Quiescence signals « LEUKEMIC NICHE »

16 PRIMITIVE HSC IN CML SURVIVE DESPITE INHIBITION OF ACTIVITY OF BCR-ABL
CELL DEATH « Oncogene Addiction » + TKI BCR-ABL + HSC + TKI GROWTH FACTORS SURVIVAL CELLS DO NOT NEED BCR-ABL TO SURVIVE: « Oncogene Independence » HOW ? Corbin et al, JCI 2010

1- CML STEM CELLS: LONG-TERM PERSISTENCE AND QUIESCENCE -Low BCR-ABL in persistent cells: Potential Protective Factor from genetic instability and progression -Elucidation of the mechanisms of « dormancy »: -Novel strategies of targeting residual cells are in development

25 QUESTIONS (2) 2-WHAT ARE THE EFFECTS OF TKI2 AS A FIRST LINE THERAPY ON LSC ? 3- WHAT IS THE DYNAMICS OF Ph+ LSC: -On TKI therapy ? -Off TKI therapy? Stem cell monitoring is required as a decisional tool in TKI discontinuation trials
