---Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia (APL) with PML-RARA

Based on the early French-American-British (FAB) classification, Acute Promyelocytic Leukaemia (APL) is one of the subtypes (M3) of Acute Myeloid Leukemia AML [1]. The PML-RARA fusion is reportedly found in 5-15% of AML and occurs at any age but predominantly in adults in mid-life [1,2]. RARA fusion proteins behave as potent transcriptional repressors of retinoic acid signaling, inducing a differentiation blockage at the promyelocyte stage which can be overcome with therapeutic doses of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) or arsenic trioxide [1-5]. ATO (arsenic trioxide) also induces differentiation of the malignant myeloid clone by dissociating the PML/RAR-alpha-RXR complex from the target genes and was found to have a synergistic action with ATRA [5].

Gene Overview

The PML gene encodes a protein which functions via its association with nuclear bodies (NBs) in a wide range of important cellular processes including tumor suppression, transcriptional regulation, apoptosis, senescence, DNA damage response, and viral defense mechanisms. The protein acts as the scaffold for NBs, allowing other proteins to shuttle in and out. Some of the Pml proteins diverse actions include: activating RB1, inhibiting AKT1, negatively affecings the PI3K pathway by inhibiting MTOR and activating PTEN, and positively regulates p53/TP53.

Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia (APL) is a subtype of Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) that is almost entirely caused by the t(15;17)q22;q11) resulting in the PML-RARA fusion gene. Unlike the normal retinoic acid receptor, the Pml-Rara protein does not respond to the ligand signal to induce transcription of genes, so the genes remain repressed, ultimately resulting in the inhibition of gene expression for hematopoietic differentiation and the maturation arrest of hematopoietic progenitors at the promyelocyte stage. In addition, while the normal PML protein blocks proliferation and induces apoptosis in combination with other proteins, the Pml-Rara protein acts as a dominant repressor of the normal PML protein [4].

Common Alteration Types

The translocation involving PML and RARA is found in more than 90% of APL cases.
