Variants in PRPS1
Functionally relevant gain- of- function mutations in another mediator of purine metabolism, PRPS1, were recently identified in almost 7% of relapsed BCP- ALL samples. PRPS1 encodes phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate synthetase 1, which is a key enzyme in the de novo purine synthesis (DNPS) pathway. In contrast to NT5C2 muta­tions, ultra- deep sequencing of serial bone marrow sam­ples revealed that PRPS1 mutations were not detectable at ALL diagnosis, but increased exponentially before clinical relapse, which occurred early on- treatment. Expression of gain- of- function variants in PRPS1 resulted in resistance to thiopurine induced apoptosis. Functional investiga­tions revealed, that the drug resistance PRPS1 variants showed defective feed- back inhibition to adenosine- and guanosine- diphosphates, which allowed for continuous activation of DNPS, which in turn results in an increase of intracellular hypoxanthine levels, that inhibit the activa­tion of the thiopurine prodrugs (MP and TG) into their active metabolites. These findings demonstrate that the rare acquired somatic PRPS1 variants in ALL relapse clones can drive thiopurine resistance via altering the feedback inhibition of nucleotide synthesis and competi­tive inhibition of bioactivation of the prodrugs MP and TG. One logical strategy to overcome this drug resistance mechanism would be the inhibition of the continuously activated DNPS pathway. Indeed, inhibition of GART (phosphoribosylglycinamide formyltransferase), another important enzyme of DNPS, via the small- molecule inhib­itor lometrexol, reversed thiopurine drug resistance in PRPS1- mutant cells invitro.
Clearly, much work is needed to further elucidate the genomic drivers for treatment failure in ALL. The examples of NT5C2, PRPS1, and TP53 R248Q however, provide evi- dence that in the near future the routine use of genomic interrogation techniques could help to early identify patients with emergent relapse. This knowledge may allow tailoring therapy accordingly, e.g. by drugging DNPS in clones that develop resistance to thiopurines via PRPS1mediated DNPS activation or by drugging highly active NT5C2 via the small­molecule inhibitor CRCD2.
ALL- initiating abnormalities, which comprise the leukemic clone and define subtype biology. These initiating lesions typically cooperate with somatic secondary abnormalities, which often involve B- cell development genes like IKAROS zinc finger 1 (IKZF1) or paired box 5 (PAX5 ), which are pre­sent only in ALL subclones.
Two ALL subtypes have chimeric fusion genes that involve transcription factor 3 (TCF3); namely, ALL with t(1;19)/TCF3- PBX1 (~5% of ALL patients) and ALL with t(17;19)/TCF3- HLF (~1% of ALL patients). Whereas chil­dren with TCF3- PBX1 ALLs have intermediate outcomes with contemporary major leukemia study groups therapies, almost all children with TCF3- HLF positive ALL have expe­rienced early disease relapse and died, and affected patients are considered eligible for addition of experimental thera­pies in first- line therapy. In an attempt to identify curative treatment options for children with TCF3- HLF ALL, an international collaborative study group set up a series of genomic and functional studies, including an integrated drug–response profiling approach. They first identified that the chimeric fusion protein TCF3- HLF promotes cellular transcriptional reprogramming toward a drug- resistant immature state. Subsequently, they found that TCF3- HLF xenografts are highly sensitive to the BCL2 (B- cell CLL/ lymphoma 2)- targeting drug venetoclax. Combination of venetoclax with conventional chemotherapy induced dura­ble remissions in patient- derived xenografts; and subse­quently a stratum allowing for combination of venetoclax with standard ALL therapy in the setting of a pediatric phase I/II study (NCT03236857) was implemented, and the results are pending.
Moreover, TCF3- HLF ALL has a strong homogeneous expression of CD19, and therefore these patients may benefit from CD19- directed therapies. Indeed, durable molecular remissions lasting 1317, 1292, 1245, and 342 days, have been reported in a small series of patients with TCF3- HLF after treatment that included the bispecific T- cell engager mole­cule blinatumomab and stem cell transplantation; and the value of CD­this highest risk patient sub- cohort.

One typical feature of childhood ALL is the subtype- defining presence of chromosomal aberrations like translocations and gross aneuploidies. Translocations, such as t(12;21), t(9;22), t(1;19), or t(17;19) and the corresponding gene fusions ETV6- RUNX1, BCR- ABL1, TCF3- PBX1, or TCF3- HLF, which mainly involve genes that play an important role in hematopoietic development, are considered to be primary

Pharmacogenomics tooptimize oral antithrombotic therapy
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the most common cause of death, accounting for ~17.9 million deaths in 2019 (of these deaths, 85% were due to heart attack and stroke; https:// www.who.int/news- room/fact- sheets/detail/cardiovascular­diseases- (cvds)). Arterial or venous thrombotic events are major fatal complications of CVDs, and can be prevented via antithrombotic medications, like oral anticoagulants and antiplatelet therapies.

Coumarins and variants in CYP2C9 and VKORC1
Although treatment trials demonstrated a favorable efficacy and safety profile of direct (non- vitamin K antagonist) oral anticoagulants (DOACs), which either directly inhibit thrombin (e.g. dabigatran) or factor Xa (e.g. rivaroxaban, apixaban, and edoxaban), millions of patients still take coumarins to prevent thromboembolic events in chronic conditions such as atrial fibrillation, deep venous thrombosis, pulmonary emboli, acute myocardial infarction, stroke, and disease and/or replacement of heart valves. The oral antico­agulants of the coumarin type, warfarin (used in the UK and the USA), acenocoumarol, and phenprocoumon (preferentially used in continental Europe), have similar pharmacodynamic properties but differences in half- life, and act by inhibiting the activation of vitamin K–associated clotting factors. A very narrow therapeutic index, with risk of serious hemorrhage if overcoagulated and thrombosis if undercoagulated and interindividual variability in response to coumarins, neces­sitates individualization of treatment, which is based primar­ily on monitoring prothrombin time and calculation of the International Normalized Ratio (INR). Whereas INR is helpful in tailoring coumarin maintenance therapy, prospec­tive studies have identified coumarin induction therapy as the period when the INR is most likely to be out of range and when the rate of iatrogenic ADRs is greatest.
Many factors have been identified as affecting the degree of anticoagulation achieved by coumarins, including patient age (lower dose requirement in the elderly), gender, body size, ethnicity, diet (particularly vitamin K intake), cigarette smoking, disease (e.g. liver diseases), and coadministration of other drugs (particularly those which inhibit the activity of CYP2C9). Polymorphisms in genes that affect the phar­macokinetics (CYP2C9, and to a lesser extent other CYP enzymes) and pharmacodynamics (VKORC1) of coumarins, however, have been shown to act as major determinants of coumarin dosage requirements.
Coumarins are a racemic mixture of R-
and S- enantiomers that differ in their patterns of metabolism and in their potency of pharmacodynamic effect. For example, it has been suggested that S- warfarin accounts for up to 70% of the overall anticoagulation response of warfarin. After oral administration, warfarin is completely absorbed and bound to albumin (99%) in plasma. Free warfarin is taken up into liver cells, where it is biologically active and either inhibits VKORC1 or is catabolized by cytochrome P450 isoenzymes (Figure23.4).
Variants in CYP2C9
A number of CYP isoforms contribute to warfarin metabolism; however, hydroxylation by CYP2C9 is the most important inactivation pathway of the pharmacologically more relevant S- warfarin. CYP2C9 is the principal CYP2C isoenzyme in the human liver, and it is involved in the oxidative metabo­lism of several clinically important medications, including oral anticoagulants, phenytoin, and various non- steroidal anti- inflammatory drugs. Numerous polymorphic alleles (CYP2C9*1 to CYP2C9*71) have been identified for the known CYP2C9 gene, according to the Pharmacogene Variation Consortium (PharmVar) database (https://www. pharmvar.org/gene/CYP2C9), at least half of which are associ­ated with diminished enzyme activity. The two most common CYP2C9 variants are CYP2C9*2 and CYP2C9*3. As with most polymorphisms, there are differences in the frequency of poly­morphic CYP2C9 alleles among different ethnic groups. In Europeans, the overall allelic frequency of CYP2C9*2 is about 10–20%, and that of CYP2C9*3 is about 5–10%. The *2 and *3 variants are very rare in African Americans and Asians; 95% of these persons express the wild- type genotype *1/*1 (i.e. exten­sive metabolizers). Compared with the wild- type enzyme activity of CYP2C9*1, the enzyme activity of the CYP2C9*2 variant is reduced by about 30–50%, and the CYP2C9*3 vari­ant activity is reduced by 90% invitro.

Variants in VKORC1
VKORC1 regenerates reduced vitamin K for another cycle of catalysis, essential for the γ- carboxylation of the vitamin K– dependent clotting factors II, VII, IX, and X (Figure23.4). The identification of common variants in VKORC1 has emerged as one of the most important genetic factors deter­mining coumarin dose requirements. Main VKORC1 haplo- types include the reference haplotype (wild- type) VKORC1*1, the low- dose coumarin haplotype VKORC1*2, and the high- dose coumarin haplotypes VKORC1*3 and VKORC1*4. The significantly higher average warfarin requirement in Africans is in line with the significantly lower occurrence of the low- dose coumarin VKORC1*2 haplotype in Africans. Overall, the hereditary pharmacodynamics factor VKORC1 may explain about 25% of the variance in coumarin dose require­ment, compared with 5–10% for the hereditary pharmacoki­netic factor CYP2C9 alone. CYP2C9 and VKORC1 genotypes have been incorporated into dosing algorithms in order to estimate the appropriate coumarin starting dose, and in 2010 the FDA updated the warfarin drug label and suggested that VKORC1 and CYP2C9 genotypes should be taken into con­sideration when the drug is prescribed. Dosing algorithms and more details are available at https://www.pharmgkb.org/ gene/PA133787052/prescribingInfo and www.warfarindos­ing.org. Randomized controlled clinical trials, such as the European Pharmacogenetics of Anticoagulant Therapy (EU­PACT) and the US Clarification of Optimal Anticoagulation through Genetics (COAG) trials, have investigated the potential benefit of genotype- based strategies for initiating coumarin therapy. Although the use of genotype- based algo­rithms has resulted in a greater percentage of time in thera­peutic range than standard- fixed dosing in the EU- PACT trial, no reductions of severe ADRs like stroke or bleeding were reported with the pharmacogenomic dosing. These tri­als, however, were not powered for the pharmacodynamics endpoints bleeding or thromboembolic events, and the Genetics Informatics Trial (GIFT) of Warfarin to Prevent Deep Venous Thrombosis investigated this topic. Patients undergoing elective hip or knee arthroplasty were treated with perioperative warfarin, and genotype-
guided warfarin dosing, compared with clinically guided dosing, reduced the combined risk of major bleeding, INR of 4 or greater, venous thromboembolism, or death. Of note is that results from the Effective Anticoagulation with Factor Xa Next Generation in Atrial Fibrillation–Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction 48 (ENGAGE AF- TIMI 48) trial (which enrolled more than 14 000 patients with atrial fibrillation) provided evidence that testing for VKORC1 and CYP2C9was able to identify patients who are more likely to bleed with warfarin therapy. This information could be used to optimize choice of oral anticoagulant therapy; that is, to use edoxaban in patients who are sensitive (typically 1–2 variant alleles) or highly
sensitive (typically 3–4 variant alleles) to warfarin. The feasi­bility of implementing genotype-
guided dosing was recently demonstrated in three- anticoagulation clinics in northern England. Using the EU- PACT trial algorithm, genotype­guided dosing resulted in greater time in the therapeutic range in the first 3 months of therapy than standard dosing.
Clopidogrel and variants in CYP2C19
Platelets play a crucial role in thrombosis and the develop­ment of acute coronary syndromes (ACS) because a platelet­rich thrombus forms at the site of the ruptured atherosclerotic plaque. Thus, inhibition of platelet function is an effective strategy in the treatment and prevention of thrombosis, especially after percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs). The main classes of antiplatelet agents include aspirin, the thienopyridines (clopidogrel and prasugrel), the nonthieno­pyridine P2Y purinergic receptor 12 (P2Y12) antagonists (ticagrelor), and intravenous GPIIb/IIIa antagonists. Dual platelet inhibition via aspirin and P2Y12 receptor antago­nists is the guideline- approved standard of care in patients with ACS and PCI with stenting. The newer P2Y12 receptor antagonists prasugrel and ticagrelor have superior efficacy compared with clopidogrel, but have a higher risk for bleed­ing and are more expensive.
Clopidogrel is an orally administered prodrug and the response to it is heterogeneous (up to 20% of treated patients do not respond to clopidogrel and are at risk for stent throm­bosis, which usually results in sudden death or heart attack, and a few patients have strong responses with bleeding). Once absorbed, 85% of clopidogrel is inactivated via ester­ases, and only about 15% of the prodrug remains available for a multistep activation via hepatic CYP enzymes. The active drug selectively and irreversibly binds to the ADP dependent P2Y12 receptor on thrombocytes and thereby inhibits platelet activation and aggregation for the platelets’ lifespan, which is about 10 days. Candidate gene investiga­tions identified loss-
of- function variants in the activating enzyme CYP2C19 to significantly affect drug response. As of June 2023, 39 variant CYP2C19 alleles (https://www. pharmvar.org/gene/CYP2C19) have been identified; the most important poor metabolizer (PM) alleles are *2 (~15% in Europeans and Africans, ~30% in Asians) and the less fre­quent *3 (2–9% in Asians, less than 1% in Europeans and Africans). The *17 gain- of- function allele results in enhanced CYP2C19 enzyme activity, and can place these ultra­metabolizing individuals at a higher risk for bleeding because of increased drug activation.
Based on the results of clinical investigations, the FDA has issued a “black box” warning for clopidogrel in regard to reduced effectiveness in PM individuals (i.e. two loss- of­function CYP2C19 alleles), and genotyping for the impor­tant variants is widely available. The CPIC Dosing Guideline

for clopidogrel recommends an alternative antiplatelet therapy (e.g. ticagrelor) for CYP2C19 poor (two loss- of- function alleles) or intermediate (one loss- of- function allele) metabo­lizers if there is no contraindication (https://cpicpgx.org/ guidelines/guideline- for- clopidogrel- and- cyp2c19/). In a draft guidance of May 2023, the UK National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) stated, that “patients who have had an ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack should take a genetic test to see whether they can be treated with clopidogrel to reduce their risk of recurrence” (https:// www.nice.org.uk/guidance/indevelopment/gid- dg10054). Genotyping for pathogenic CYP2C19 variant testing was estimated to be around £139 a test; and if not available, Genomadix Cube point- of- care test, which costs about £197 per test, was recommended.
Summary andchallenges forthe future
As there are numerous non- genetic factors that influence drug effects (e.g. compliance, nutritional factors, concurrent medications), it is clear that pharmacogenomics will never explain all interindividual variability in drug effects. However, it was reported that over one year, ~58% of patients in the UK received at least one drug, which is affected by actionable variants in pharmacogenes, and the proportion of people who carry at least one actionable pharmacogenomic variant ranged from 91.4% (6 genes evaluated, USA) to
99.8% (11 genes evaluated, Estonia). There is also clear evidence that pharmacogenomic models can help to improve drug treatment in hematology by facilitating appropriate dose individualization and optimal treatment selection. For example, clinically actionable variants have been identified in the TPMT, NUDT15, CYP2C9, CYP2C19 and VCORC1 genes, and the TPMT/NUDT15 and CYP2C9/VCORC1 as well as the CYP2C19 models can be used to individualize thiopurine and antithrombotic therapy a priori, thereby reducing the risk of severe ADRs.
As of June 2023, the FDA lists >120 pharmacogenomic associations (gene­medical- devices/precision- medicine/table- pharmacogenetic­associations); and the table of pharmacogenomic biomarkers in drug labeling contains >540 entries (https://www.fda.gov/ drugs/science- and- research- drugs/table- pharmacogenomic­biomarkers- drug- labeling). However, some barriers (e.g. lack of studies that prove the cost benefit, lack of financial reimbursement, etc.) still prevent the widespread use of pre- emptive genetic testing (ideally by the use of multigene panels) to guide drug therapy. Initiatives like the European Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium (EU- PIC; https://eu- pic.net/) and the Implementing Genomics in Practice (IGNITE; https://gmkb.org/ignite-gdp/) networks
drug interactions, https://www.fda.gov/
are developing and testing pharmacogenomics implementa­tion strategies. Moreover, the CPIC (https://cpicpgx.org/) provides evidence­ble guidelines that aim to support physicians to bring per­sonalized medicine into clinical practice, by using an individual’s genetic information to prescribe medications. Electronic clinical decision support systems (CDSSs) can make it feasible to utilize genetic information to prescribing drugs; and CDSSs continuously improve and become more widespread available.
One example for the successful implementation of a CDSS evidence- based pharmacogenomics precision medicine approach in routine clinical hematology was recently reported from the SJCRH. Before the administration of codeine, which is given to treat pain crisis in sickle cell dis­ease (SCD), more than 600 patients with SCD were geno­typed for CYP2D6 variants (CYP2D6 activates the prodrug codeine to the active morphine). Interruptive alerts recom­mended against codeine for patients with high- risk CYP2D6 status (i.e. 7.1% ultra- rapid metabolizers who are at risk for life- threatening ADRs; 1.4% poor metabolizers who are at risk for insufficient pain control), and this example shows how safety concerns can be reduced via preemptive genotyping.
Moreover, the European Ubiquitous Pharmacogenomics consortium has recently published the results of the prospec­tive Preemptive Pharmacogenomic Testing for Preventing Adverse Drug Reactions (PREPARE) study. In this study, the effect of a genotype- guided drug prescribing strategy, using a preemptive 12- pharmacogene panel (44 actionable variants) approach in seven European centers with almost 7000 patients randomly allocated to either standard care or genotype­guided care, was investigated. ADRs were significantly reduced (30%) in the genotype- guided group, providing the first randomized evidence of the utility of pharmacogenomic panel- based testing.
Pharmacogenomics has evolved also as an important component of precision medicine, especially in the context of precision oncology. Besides the assessments of targetable oncogenic drivers, growing interest has evolved in augment­ing genomic testing with direct drug sensitivity testing (pharmacotyping) in primary tumor samples. In the pro­spective Extended Analysis for Leukemia and Lymphoma Treatment (EXALT) trial (NCT03096821) in Austria, an image-
based single- cell functional precision medicine (scFPM) approach was successfully used to guide therapy choices for patients with aggressive hematologic cancers who exceeded all standard therapy lines. High- content micros­copy and automated image analysis was used to evaluate the effects of 139 drugs on samples from heavily pretreated 143 patients with hematologic malignancies, without standard­of- care options remaining. Pharmacotyping informed thera­pies were selected in a precision oncology panel and 54% of

such treated patients had at least 1.3 times longer progres­sion free survival (PSF) than for previous therapies, and 21% had exceptional response, defined, as a PFS triple the expected median response.
In a recent study from SJCRH, exvivo drug testing (18 drugs) was performed in 805 children with newly diagnosed ALL, and was integrated with invivo MRD load during therapy and molecular subtype of blast cells. Six prognostic patients clusters based on pharmacotypes including a subset of Tcell ALL with poor prognosis were identified. The T cell subset was sensitive to targeted therapies, highlighting opportunities for further treatment individualization in childhood ALL.

The cancer stem cell concept
It was more than a century ago when the term stem cell (Stammzelle) was coined by Haeckel to refer to the unicellu­lar ancestor of multicellular organisms that stands at the bot­tom of a genealogical tree. Pappenheim later adopted the term and applied it in its current meaning to describe the precursor cell, which he postulated could give rise to all blood cells. However, it was decades later that experimental proof for the existence of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) was provided. While studying the effects of radiation on bone marrow function, Till and McCulloch made the semi­nal observation of hematopoietic colonies resembling nod­ules in the spleens of lethally irradiated mice that were transplanted with limiting numbers of murine bone marrow cells. Even more striking at the time was the observation that upon retransplantation of these colonies into secondary recipients, some were able to generate new multilineage col­onies, indicating the ability of these cells to self- renew.
Akin to HSCs, the cancer stem cell (CSC) hypothesis pos­its that tumors assume a hierarchical organization in which a subpopulation of cells with stem- like properties reside at the apex, and have the capacity to self- renew and regenerate tumors that recapitulate the parental tumor from which they originate. The hierarchical model in cancer was first exem­plified by the pioneering work of Professor J.E. Dick’s team, which led to the identification of leukemic stem cells (LSCs) in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Leukemia- initiating cells (LICs), functionally defined by their ability to repopulate non- obese diabetic/severe combined immunodeficient (NOD/SCID) mice, were found to represent only a small proportion of leukemic cells (0.2–100/106 leukemic blasts) and to reside in the same compartment as normal HSCs (lin­eage negative, CD34+CD38− subset), leading to the conclu­sion that AML likely arises from neoplastic transformation occurring in primitive stem cells rather than their commit­ted progeny. These findings sparked interest in exploring

CSCs in various malignancies, and CSCs have since been reported in solid tumors as well, providing further credence to the CSC concept and extending its applicability beyond hematological malignancies.
Although the CSC paradigm appears to hold true for dif­ferent cancers, it certainly is not universal. One major caveat that became apparent with the emergence of more permis­sive xenotransplantation models is the underestimated fre­quency of tumor­studies that employed mouse strains that still had significant residual immune function. A typical example illustrating this limitation is melanoma, which was thought, based on earlier findings, to follow the CSC model. However, this was called into question when it was subsequently reported that the fre­quency of cells with tumorigenic potential in melanoma could be as high as 25%, arguing against there being a hierar­chical organization. One possible explanation for this obser­vation is provided by the stochastic model, which proposes that all cells are biologically equivalent with equal clonogenic potential to facilitate tumor initiation and growth, provided they receive the appropriate cues, which may either be intrin­sic or extrinsic. It must be noted, however, that the high fre­quency of TIC does not, in itself, indicate a stochastic pattern of tumor development. What distinguishes the CSC para­digm from the stochastic model is that according to the for­mer framework, only a unique subset of cells is endowed with long­on their intrinsic properties, be separated from non- TIC cells. However, this is not possible in cancers that follow a stochastic model, as all cells are equally permissive to trans­formation, and therefore TICs can be potentially found in any cell fraction.
Nevertheless, the two models are by no means mutually exclusive, and can operate simultaneously within a tumor. Furthermore, several lines of evidence, based on findings in normal and malignant tissues, point toward stemness being a dynamic trait whereby cells can transition between a stem

cell and a differentiated cell state and vice versa. This notion, known as bidirectional interconversion, provides an alterna­tive explanation that can reconcile these two models.
The cell oforigin
Although often used interchangeably, the CSC is not neces­sarily the same as the cell of origin. The cell of origin refers to the cell that sustains the first hit required for tumor initia­tion, but does not necessarily have stem cell properties to allow it to sustain malignant growth. Equally important to note is that CSCs need not be derived from their normal stem cell counterparts, but are rather defined as cells with stem cell properties and tumor- propagating capacity, regard­less of whether they originated from a bona fide stem cell or not. Indeed, there is significant evidence indicating that CSCs can arise from downstream progenitor cells as they undergo oncogenic transformation. In a study by Taussig etal., sorted leukemic cells from patients with AML with the progenitor phenotype CD34+CD38+ were able to induce leu­kemia in various immunodeficient mouse strains, indicating that LSC activity is not restricted to the CD34+CD38− com­partment as previously hypothesized. Furthermore, lentivi­rally transduced myeloid progenitors expressing the mixed- lineage leukemia (MLL) fusion genes MLL- AF9 and MLL- ENL have been shown to be able to initiate leukemia. The results of global gene expression profiling of LSC popu­lations in AML have also challenged the prevailing notion that LSCs in AML largely arise from stem cells, and suggest instead that LSCs in AML resemble lymphoid- myeloid multipotent progenitors (LMPPs) and granulocyte­macrophage progenitors (GMP) more closely than HSCs.
Although CSCs can originate from a differentiated progeni­tor, the cell of origin may still be a stem cell. For example, while it is widely accepted that chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) results from neoplastic transformation of an HSC by the BCR­ABL fusion gene, progression to blast crisis has been shown to be driven by progenitor cells that have acquired stem- like properties as a result of a catalog of events, including BCR­ABL amplification and B- catenin activation. Similarly, in AML bearing the translocation t(8;21), resulting in the AML1/ETO fusion gene, although the translocation is found in HSC, it is not sufficient to induce leukemia, and the disease is instead driven by cells with a progenitor phenotype.
Collectively, these data have led to a revised model that unifies the CSC and stochastic models of tumor heteroge­neity. According to this hypothesis, CSCs in the early stages of tumor development are likely to follow the CSC model, where CSCs account for a small proportion of the tumor population, with the bulk comprising non- TIC. However, as the disease progresses, these CSCs acquire advantageous mutations which enhance their self- renewal ability, leading
to further expansion of the CSC pool, while impairing their differentiation capacity. Consequently, as the disease advances, the hierarchy becomes flatter and the tumor becomes more homogenous, which would explain the high frequency of CSCs reported in malignancies such as melanoma.
Pre- leukemic stem cells
The earliest evidence supporting the concept of a preleukemic state came from clonality studies utilizing X- chromosome inactivation patterns in AML patients heterozygous for glucose- 6- phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency. In each of these patients, the leukemic blasts expressed the same G6PD type, indicating that they arose from a single cell, and in approximately 25% of the patients, the abnormal clone at diagnosis persisted even after the attainment of com­plete morphological remission. Similar findings were reported in AML patients harboring the translocation t(8;21), who were found to have detectable levels of the fusion transcript in peripheral blood, despite being in long­term remission. In recent years, corroborative evidence from sequencing data has been provided by a number of groups. Work from the Majeti lab demonstrated that in newly diag­nosed patients with AML, mutations in epigenetic regulators such as DNMT3a and ASXL1were frequently found in the purified HSC population, whereas mutations in genes involved in activated signaling and proliferation such as FLT3 and KRAS/NRAS were not detectable, indicating that the latter mutations were late events. Similarly, Shlush etal. performed targeted sequencing of normal hematopoietic stem, progenitor, and mature cell fractions in AML patients at diagnosis, and found that, in contrast to genetic aberra­tions such as NPM1mutation, which was only detected in the leukemic blasts, mutations in DNMT3a were found in both the leukemic and non- leukemic compartments, indi­cating the presence of a pre­dominant AML clone.
Indeed, genomic studies of large cohorts of individuals with no history of hematological malignancy and normal blood counts have revealed that somatically acquired muta­tions in hematopoietic cells are a frequent event in the aged population, occurring in at least 10% of individuals above the age of 70. Intriguingly, most of the mutations implicated in this phenomenon, termed clonal hematopoiesis of inde­terminate potential (CHIP), occur in epigenetic modifying genes that are frequently mutated in myeloid malignancies such as DNMT3a, TET2, and ASXL1. In addition to an increased propensity for developing leukemia, individuals with CHIP have an increased overall mortality.
As demonstrated in several studies, pre- leukemic clones can evade chemotherapeutic interventions and persist or

even expand in remission, and it has been shown that this is more likely to occur among older patients, providing an additional explanation for the poor outcome observed in this group of patients. Additionally, persistence of pre- leukemic mutations in remission in those who did not receive alloge­neic transplant was found to be associated with an increased risk for relapse. In a study by Ding and colleagues, whole­genome sequencing of paired samples from diagnosis and relapse in patients with AML revealed two main patterns of clonal evolution: in some patients, the relapse clone descended from the dominant clone, which acquired addi­tional mutations, whereas in others the dominant clone was eradicated by treatment, but relapse arose from a subclone that was present at diagnosis. Furthermore, in the study by Shlush et al., analysis of early and late remission samples from a patient who was still in remission at 3 years revealed a progressive increase of DNMT3a allele frequency in most of the progenitor and mature cells fractions over time. A small proportion of the myeloid cells in the late remission sample was also found to harbor both DNMT3a and NPM1mutations, which could be explained by reexpansion of the diagnostic clone or, alternatively, the NPM1mutation could have been acquired independently within a pre­leukemic clone. Although there has so far been no solid proof of relapse emerging from a pre- LSC, this route to relapse remains plausible. From a clinical perspective, the persistence of pre- LSCs in remission raises the question of whether testing for minimal residual disease should include
monitoring for pre- leukemic mutations and not only the “driver” mutations present in leukemic blasts and LSCs, and whether progressive increase in pre- leukemic burden during remission would warrant early treatment prior to the emer­gence of frank leukemia (see Figure24.1).
CSC- targeted therapies
Targeting cell surface antigens
Since HSCs and LSCs share the cell surface phenotype CD34+/CD38−, several groups have attempted to identify markers that can accurately distinguish LSCs from HSCs, in order to enable preferential targeting of LSCs while sparing normal HSCs. Among the earliest identified LSC antigenic candidates is interleukin- 3 alpha receptor (CD123), which is strongly expressed in CD34+38− cells of patients with AML, but virtually absent in the normal HSC counterpart. The LSC functional capacity of this population has been verified invivo, where they were able to engraft and induce leukemia in NOD/SCID mice. Other putative LSC markers include CD33, CLL- 1, Tim- 3, and CD47, which are currently being pursued in clinical trials.
Various therapeutic approaches aimed at targeting surface markers on LSCs have been explored, and one strategy has been the use of antibody- drug conjugates (ADCs), consisting of a monoclonal antibody linked to a therapeutic moiety, which allows selective delivery of cytotoxic drugs to neoplastic cells

bearing the targeted antigen, with minimal impact on normal tissues. A promising example of this class of drugs and the first ADC to gain approval for clinical use in cancer is Gemtuzumab ozogamicin (GO), comprising a humanized anti- CD33 anti­body conjugated to the antitumor antibiotic calicheamicin. After being initially withdrawn due to lack of clinical benefit and safety concerns, GO was reapproved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) when subsequent clinical trials using a lower dosing schedule showed that the addition of GO to standard chemotherapy for treatment of patients with newly diagnosed AML resulted in improved outcomes in terms of an event- free survival which was nearly twice as long (median event- free survival: 17.3 months versus 9.5 months). Improvement in obtaining complete remission was also observed when used in the relapse setting as well as a small, but significant, increase in overall survival when used as a sin­gle agent in older patients who are ineligible for intensive chemotherapy. It should be noted, however, that CD33 is not an exclusive marker of LSC, but is also expressed in leukemic blasts and myeloid progenitors, and thus far, it has not been shown whether the improved outcome observed with GO relates specifically to its effect on the LSC compartment or merely the disease bulk.
Other approaches employing the immunophenotypic properties of LSCs include bispecific antibodies, which link the target pathogenic cell to a cytotoxic effector cell, such as a T cell or natural killer cell, by simultaneously engaging a tumor- specific antigen and a receptor expressed on the cyto- toxic effector cell, thereby inducing cell death. Adoptive cell therapy using chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)- engineered T cells has also been pursued as an LSC- targeting avenue.
Albeit promising, targeting LSCs by utilizing their aber­rant immunophenotype has potential limitations, which may hinder its clinical utility. One major concern relates to the specificity of LSC marker, as it is crucial that an antigen used to identify LSC is not expressed on normal HSC in order to minimize toxicity. For instance, while CD33has been thought not to be expressed in normal HSC, Taussig eta l. reported CD33 expression in normal Lin
CD34+CD38− fractions isolated from cord blood and healthy adult bone marrow, which were able to repopulate NOD/SCID mice and had self- renewal ability, as determined in serial trans­plantation assays. Indeed, CD33has been recently reported to identify a subset of cells with serial repopulating capacity within the most primitive HSC fraction. Furthermore, it is well recognized that LSCs can be phenotypically heteroge­neous and therefore an LSC- targeted therapy aimed at a single antigen is unlikely to be able to eliminate all LSC clones. The fact that LSCs undergo clonal evolution as the disease progresses, and in response to selective pressure exerted by treatment, adds yet another layer of complexity to the picture.
Targeting CSC self- renewal
Aberrant activation of the Hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway has been reported in CSCs of various cancers, including hematological malignancies. In a mouse model of CML, con­stitutive activation of Smoothend, a key component of the Hh pathway, resulted in an increase in CML LSC frequency leading to disease acceleration, while inhibition of Hh sign­aling by cyclopamine caused reduction in CML stem cells, and this effect was maintained even in imatinib- resistant CML- LSC.
The Wnt pathway effector β- catenin has also been impli­cated in the regulation of LSC. In murine AML models driven by MLL- ENL or co- expression of the oncogenes HOXA9 and MEIS1, β- catenin was required for transforma­tion to AML. Furthermore, functional dependence of LSC on the canonical Wnt signaling has been demonstrated in T- cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T- ALL). In B- ALL, suppression of CBP/catenin using a small molecule inhibitor abrogated self- renewal of pre- B ALL cells, and promoted their differentiation, thereby sensitizing them to chemother­apy. Similarly, LSCs in MLL- driven AML that have acquired resistance to GSK3inhibitors could be resensitized by inhib­iting β- catenin. Of note is that both Hh and β- catenin appear dispensable for adult HSC function, rendering them attrac­tive candidates for selective inhibition of LSCs.
The canonical Notch signaling pathway is another pivotal player in maintaining self- renewal of LSC. There has been a particular interest in targeting Notch in T- ALL due to the high prevalence of Notch1mutations, which are estimated to occur in more than 50% of patients. Treatment with a gamma secretase inhibitor, which blocks Notch, has been shown to abolish the leukemic- initiating stem cell activity in T- ALL in vivo, regardless of mutational status. Other strategies to target Notch include the use of monoclonal antibodies and stapled peptides.
Targeting CSC survival
One of the earliest pieces of evidence implicating the nuclear factor- kB (NF- kB) in CSC came from AML, where NF- kB was found to be constitutively activated in the CD34+ frac­tion of AML cells but not in normal CD34+ HSCs, indicating that reliance on NF- kB is an exclusive feature of LSCs. Activation of NF- kB can occur through multiple routes, including chromosomal/molecular aberrations, cytokine signaling, or increased proteasomal activity. Inhibition of NF- kB by a proteasome inhibitor was shown to induce apop­tosis in AML cells in both the bulk and CD34+ fraction.
Additionally, inhibitors against the PI3/AKT/mtor path­way have been employed in AML. Constitutive activation of phosphoinositide 3- kinase (PI3K) is necessary for the sur­vival of AML, and reduction in AML LSC has been reported in murine models treated with PI3K inhibitors. Intriguingly,
