CRLF2 CRLF2- a new player in ALL Ithamar Ganmore, Libi Hertzberg Shai Izraeli’s lab Cancer Research Center, Sheba Medical Center, Tel-Aviv University Israel Society of Hematology and Blood Transfusions annual conference- 16.2.2010
Down syndrome & Leukemia Chromosome 21 and Leukemia DS-ALL (2-3%) Constitutional tirsomy 21 HHD (10-25%) (High Hyperdiploid) Most cases with 4 copies of chr. 21 TEL-AML1 (25%) AML is on Chr. 21 • (Less solid tumors) • X600 AMKL • X20 ALL • cT21 is leukemogenic
DS-ALL: JAK2 mutation in 20% • All involve R683 and different from V617F/ other MPNs mutations.
JAK2 Pseudokinase Domain (Model) Arg683 (B-ALL) Val617 (MPNs) Gilad Wainreb, Nir Ben-Tal
DS-ALL: JAK2 mutation in 20% • All involve R683 and different from V617F/ other MPNs mutations. • The mutations are acquired, expressed, activate JAK2 • Sensitive to JAK inhibitors
Wild type JAK2 R683 JAK2 transform Baf3 cells Only with EPOR or TPOR Hypothesis – constitutional trisomy 21 associated with B linage expression of a type I cytokine receptorcooperating with R683 mutated JAK2
DS-ALLs gene expression profile • CRLF2 (cytokine receptor like factor 2)= • TSLPR (Thymic stroma-derived lymphopoietin receptor) • Located at the pseudoautosomal region of the sex chromosomes.

Mechanism of abberant CRLF2 expression FISH analysis Interphase Interphase Metaphase Metaphase IGH@ translocation (14q32) Deletion Xp22.3/ Yp11.3 RT-PCR analysis
IL7RA CRLF2 Does IL7RA also over-expressed? FACS analysis CRLF2 Maike Schmitz
Do JAK2 mutations and CRLF2 over-expression related?
Functional cooperation CRFL2 and JAK2 No requirement for IL7RA
What happen in high CRLF2 without JAK2 mutations? Mutational screen of CRLF2
