Article Synopsis
  • Myeloid/natural killer (NK) cell precursor acute leukemia (MNKPL) is proposed as a unique leukemia type but lacks international consensus due to its rarity and unclear molecular features.
  • Multi-omics analysis shows that MNKPL is different from other types of leukemia and reveals specific genetic markers, such as NOTCH1 and RUNX3 activation, along with BCL11B downregulation.
  • A case study indicates poor patient outcomes even after treatment, but MNKPL cells are sensitive to the drug L-asparaginase, potentially improving treatment options.

A 21-year-old man was diagnosed with myeloid/natural killer precursor leukemia (MNKPL) with bone marrow infiltration of blasts of cyCD3, CD7, CD33, CD34, CD56, HLA-DR, cyMPO, and TdT immunophenotypes. Although hyper-CVAD therapy was unsuccessful, induction treatment with idarubicin and cytarabine resulted in complete remission (CR). The patient subsequently underwent cord blood transplantation with a myeloablative conditioning regimen, which resulted in durable CR and complete donor chimerism.

Article Synopsis
  • * Multiomics analysis showed MNKPL is distinct from other leukemia types and suggested that both NK and myeloid cells may originate from shared progenitor cells.
  • * Current treatments for MNKPL are not very effective, but the study found that MNKPL is especially sensitive to the drug l-asparaginase, which aligns with clinical observations of its effectiveness in patients.

Effectiveness of venetoclax and azacytidine against myeloid/natural killer cell precursor acute leukemia.

Int J Hematol

Myeloid/natural killer (NK) cell precursor acute leukemia (MNKPL) is a rare leukemia subtype that possibly originates from precursor NK cells. The disease has a poor prognosis, and information on its treatment is lacking. We herein report the first case of a 46-year-old woman with MNKPL who was refractory to two lines of acute myeloid leukemia (AML)-type intensive chemotherapy but was successfully treated with venetoclax and azacytidine (VEN/AZA).

Humanized mice reconstituted with a functional human immune system (HIS) are instrumental in studying human immunity and immune disorders in vivo. The poor or lack of cross-reactivity between mouse cytokines and human cells limits the development and/or function of human immune cell subsets including human myeloid, natural killer and B cells. Here we explored the potential to achieve long-term production of human cytokines in immunodeficient mice using a transposon-plasmid-based hydrodynamic injection approach.
