    Abstract: Background. The protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor PKC412 (N-benzylstaurosporine) is a derivate of the naturally occurring alkaloid staurosproine and has been shown to inhibit the conventional isoforms of PKC (alfa, beta1, beta2 and gamma). PKC412 has been shown to have an antitumor effect on non-small cell lung cancer and acute leukemia with FLT3 mutations, but little is known about its effect on multiple myeloma up to date. Methods. Since PKC is also an inhibitor of a tyrosin kinase which is associated with VEGF, and inhibits the release of Interleukin-6, TNF alfa, and that of growth factor dependent C-FOS, we postulated that PKC412 might have also strong anti-myeloma features. Here we evaluated the anti-myeloma effect of PKC412 in the multiple myeloma cell lines INA-6, OPM-2 and RPMI 8226 by measuring its effect on their proliferation rate, the apoptosis rate and the Interleukin-6 mRNA expression. Results. PKC412 showed strong anti-myeloma effects in all three celllines. 50nM of PKC412 was enough to drop the proliferation rate in all three cell lines under 10% compared to untreated cells(p & lt;0.01). The apoptosis rate increased in INA cell line up to 2,5 times and in RPMI cell line up to 3 times (p & lt;0.05), whereas only a moderate increase was observed in the OPM2 cell line with 500nM of PKC412. As expected, the IL-6 mRNA expression decreased after PKC412 treatment in all three cell lines more than 50%. The addition of Bevacizumab to PKC412 in RPMI and OPM-2 cell lines did not increased the apoptosis rate significantly, whereas the addition of short-interference RNA (RNAi) against VEGF increased the apoptosis rate in RPMI 8226 cells about 20% (p & lt;0.05) and in OPM-2 cells up to 30% (p & lt;0.01) compared to PKC412 alone, which was also associated concordantly with a further reduction of the proliferation rate in RPMI and OPM-2 cells up to 30%. Conclusions. PKC412 shows strong anti-myeloma effects and might be effective also in the treatment of patients with multiple myeloma. These in-vitro studies might encourage to initiate clinical trials with PKC412 in patients with multiple myeloma.

    Abstract: Abstract 3342 Poster Board III-230 Introduction: The widely expressed detoxification enzyme NAD(P)H:quinine oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) is involved in the cellular response to oxidative stress and irradiation and protects cells against the mutagenicity from free radicals and toxic oxygen metabolities. NQO1 is subject to a genetic polymorphism (C609T) leading to a change in its amino acid sequence. Heterozygous individuals C/T have intermediate activity and homozygotes T/T are NQO1 deficient. Never before the influence of genetic polymorphisms of NQO1 on patients who underwent allogeneic transplantation, was evaluated. Methods: Here we genotyped in a retrospective study 198 patients (and their donors) for NQO1 expression that underwent allogeneic transplantation for various diseases and analyzed their outcome. Genotyping of NQO1 was performed by real-time PCR using subsequent melting curve analysis. Results: 145 patients (73.2%) were genotyped as homozygous wild-type gene C/C, 48 patients (24.2%) were genotyped as heterozygous genotype C/T and five patients (2.5%) were genotype as homozygous gene mutation T/T. From the donors 147 donors (74.2%) were C/C, 50 donors (25.3%) were C/T, and one donor (0.5%) had a homozygous gene mutation T/T. Calculated genotype frequencies did not differ from that reported earlier by other studies for Caucasians. Five-year estimate for treatment-related mortality (TRM) was highest in genotype C/T- and T/T-patients with 39% ±11% compared to homozygous wild-type gene C/C-patients (21% ± 3.9% [p 〈 0.045]), whereas the five-year estimate for relapse or overall survival (OS) were not statistically different between the groups. No differences for five-year estimates for TRM, relapse rate, or OS were seen in recipients with either genotype C/C-, C/T- or T/T-donors. No statistic differences were found in the incidence of acute GVHD grade 2-4 within the study groups. NQO1 C/T, T/T genotypes were not associated with elevated bilirubin or creatinin levels regarding on recipient or the donor side, even after stratification based on HLA disparity. Conclusions: These results suggest that patients with genetic polymorphism of NQO1 do have an increased TRM after transplantation. Genotyping for NQO1 (C609T) might help to identify patients with higher risk for TRM. Disclosures: No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

    Abstract: Since September 1998, we prospectively studied the feasibility of transplantation using purified peripheral blood CD34+ cells from HLA-identical sibling donors in first chronic phase chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). A total of 60 patients (pts) with a median pretransplant risk score of 2 (range 1–4) has been included in this study. One patient received an unmanipulated graft due to poor CD34+ donor cell mobilization, while three pts (5%) were successfully retransplanted with an unmanipulated graft from the primary donor after secondary graft failure (n=2) or from an unrelated donor after hematologic relapse (n=1). As part of the study protocol, all pts were closely monitored for BCR-ABL transcripts using real-time RT-PCR analysis of peripheral blood cells as well as BCR-ABL-interphase FISH and metaphase karyotyping of marrow cells. Of the 60 pts, 56 were eligible for the application of donor lymphocyte infusions (DLI), but 7 pts did not receive DLI due to sustained molecular remission and complete chimerism. Thirty-one pts (52%) received DLI because of increasing BCR-ABL transcript levels or hematologic relapse, and 18 pts (30%) as programmed T-cell add-back. The median starting dose was 0.33 (0.01 – 10) x 106 CD3+ cells per kg with a median maximum dose 3.3 (0.17 – 100) x 106 CD3+ cells per kg. DLI induced a lasting reduction of median BCR-ABL transcript levels (BCR-ABL/GAPDH ratio) of more than 3 log10 and the estimate of being in a complete molecular remission at 7 years is 83% ± 5%. Six pts. (10%) did not respond to DLI, but 4 of these pts. attained a cytogenetic and molecular response by imatinib and/or interferon treatment. The cumulative risk of grades II-IV acute GvHD is 15% ± 5% for all study pts, and the risk of chronic GvHD is 25% ± 6%, respectively. After a median follow-up period of 46 (range 6 – 86) months for all pts, the cumulative 7-year survival estimate is 91% ± 4% (survival rate 92%). Causes of death were disease progression, secondary malignancy, liver failure, septicemia, and systemic capillary leak syndrome in one patient each. In conclusion, the concept of highly purified peripheral blood CD34+ cell transplantation in conjunction with adoptive DLI is associated with a particularly low risk of non-relapse mortality and allows induction of lasting molecular disease control in the majority of first chronic phase CML patients.

    Abstract: Abstract 3047 Up to date, there are many conflicting reports existing in which different gene variants have been proposed to have influence on the outcome of allogeneic transplant. Hereby many of the published studies bare a distressing high weakness in the study set up as for example low number of study patients, large heterogeneity of donor types and/or GVHD prophlyaxis regimens and/or T cell depleting of grafts and/or type of conditioning regimens. In this study we aimed to evaluate in 285 patients and their HLA identical sibling donors the following in table 1 shown 48 different gene variants from which were reported to have influence on the outcome of transplants. Our study group consists of a homogenous group of patients who underwent all a non T cell-depleted transplantation after receiving a myeloablative conditioning regimen and a GVHD prophylaxis with MTX and CSA or CSA and MMF. Patients were transplanted from a HLA-identical sibling donor for various diseases like acute leukemia, CML, MDS, lymphoma and MM between January 2000 and June 2010 at our center We could confirm an influence of gene variants of NOD2 (80, 4% vs 61, 6%, p=0.0013), IL23R, MTHFR1298, and LCT 13910 on the occurrence of acute GVHD grade 1–4 on recipients side, whereas no influence was seen of any gene variant on the occurrence of grade 2–4 acute GVHD. But, NOD2 gene variants had a significant (p=0.041) influence on the occurrence of severe acute GVHD grade 3–4. The occurrence of acute GVHD grade 1–4 was significantly modified by the detection of following gene variants at donors side: CCL5 28 promotor (30, 8% vs 69, 2% p=0.033), GSTP 313 (74, 3% vs 62, 4%, p=0.043);IL23R (69, 9% vs 48%, p=0.049), MTHFR129 (86, 7 vs 37, 3% p=.0.06), MTHFR 677 (53, 8% vs 70%, p=0.05), NOD2 (65, 9% vs 84, 4%, p=0.01). Acute GVHD grade 2 –4 was significantly influenced only by GSTP (p 〈 0.015) and MTHFR129 (p 〈 0.025). Severe acute GVHD grade 3–4 was only influenced by GSTP gene variants (p 〈 0.04). The 5-year TRM was influenced by MTHFR677 (30, 4% vs 19, 2%, p=0.05) at recipient side, and at donor side by the genes IL18 Rap (38, 5% vs 19%, p=0.046) and CYP1B1 (28, 8% vs 15, 6%, p=0.07). IL10 gene variants at recipients side influenced the 5-year OS significantly, at donor side the 5-year OS was influenced by CTLA4 (69, 4 vs 52, 2%, p=0.06) IL23R (53, 6% vs 71, 6%, p=0.044) and MBL2CD55 48, 9% vs 65, 2% p=0.02). In this study we could confirm that the above described gene variants might influence moderately the transplant outcome and may therefore be qualified for screening in patients and their respective donors prior to transplant.CCL5 28 promotor G/Crs1800825MBL2 Codon220rs7096206CCR5 2086 A/Grs1800023MBL2 Codon4rs7095891CCR5 2554 G/Trs2734648MBL2 Codon550rs11003125CP2C19*2rs4244285MBL2[G54D]rs1800450CP2C19*3rs4986893MBL2[G57E] rs1800451CTLA4 A/G pos.49rs231775MBL2[R55C]rs5030737CYP1B1 432rs1056836MCP1 1543 C/Trs13900CYP2C9*2rs1799853mdr1 C3435Trs1045642CYP2C9*3rs1057910MTHFR1298rs1801131CYP2D6*3rs4986774MTHFR677rs1801133CYP2D6*4,rs1800716NFKBIL1rs2857605CYP2D6*6rs5030655NOD2 G908Rrs2066847CYP3A4*1BNOD2 L1007F insCrs2066847CYP3A5*3NOD2 R702Wrs2066844FAS 670 G/Ars4934436TLR2 R753Qrs5743708GSTA1 A567T, 69C 52Grs3957356TLR3rs3775291GSTP1 313A/Grs1695TLR4 [D299G] rs4986790IL10 -1082rs1800896TLR4 [T399I]rs4987233IL 10 592 C/Ars1800872TLR5rs764535IL23RTLR6 745C 〉 Trs5743810IL18 137 G/Crs187238TLR9 C-1237Trs5743836IL18 RAPrs917997TLR9 T-1486Crs187084IL6 G174Crs1800795TNF alpha 238 A/Grs361525LTArs2844484VEGF 405G/Crs833061 Disclosures: No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

    Abstract: Abstract 1635 Background: We have previously showed that a CMV- reactivation after allogeneic HSCT is associated with a reduced risk for leukemic relapse and improved overall survival in patients with AML (Elmaagacli et al Blood 2011). Further, experimental data in a lymphoma mice model reported from Erlach et al. showed that coinfection with murine CMV revealed a strong anti-lymphoma effect by induction of apoptosis in lymphoma cells and improving rate of overall survival in mice after transplant. Methods: This prompted us to investigate the influence of early replicative CMV infection in 94 (median age [years]: 45, 18 – 70) patients with lymphoma, who received transplants from unrelated (n=67) or related (n=27) donors. Patients were transplanted from HLA-identical (n=74), HLA-mismatched (n=20). 13 patients were transplanted for indolent lymphoma (FL n=11, CLL n=2), 67 patients for aggressive lymphoma (B-lineage n=35, T-lineage n=27, transformed n=5), 11 patients for MCL and 3 patients for HD. The disease stages of patients at HSCT were CR in 20 patients, PR in 40 patients, refractory in 30 patients and untested in 2 patients. 55 patients (59%) received previous autograft and 82 patients (87%) were treated prior to transplant with at least 3 chemotherapy lines. The hematopoietic cell transplantation specific comorbidity index (HCT-CI) were 0–2 in 76 patients (81%) and 3+ in 18 patients (19%). Myeloablative preparative regimen was applied in 60 patients (64%) while 34 patients (36%) received a RIC. Sixty-eight % of patients (n=48) were at risk for CMV reactivation based on either patient or donor pretransplant CMV serostatus. CMV replication as detected by pp65 antigenemia assay occurred in 34 patients (36%). Results: Taking all competing risks into account, the cumulative incidence of progressive free survival (PFS) at 5 years after alloSCT was 38 % (95 % confidence limit [95 % CL]: 31 – 45) in patients without as compared to 20 % (95 % CL: 9 – 31) in patients with early pp65 antigenemia (p 〈 0.018). In multivariate analysis including parameters as grades II-IV acute graft-versus-host disease (GvHD), chronic GvHD, disease stage, chemorefractory, previous chemotherapy lines and pp65 antigenemia, CMV replicative status was confirmed as a strong independent predictor of PFS (hazard ratio [HR]: 0.29, 95 % CL: 0.08 – 1.00, p 〈 0.049) together with chronic GvHD (HR: 0.32, 95 % CL: 0.13 – 0.80, p 〈 0.016), and chemorefractory HR: 3.3, 95 % CL: 1.28 – 8.4, p 〈 0.013). The anti-lymphoma effect was detectable across all lymphoma subsets and was most pronounced in patients with chemotherapy refractory lymphoma or refractory disease of lymphoma. However, Overall survival rate did not differ in both groups (51.9% for patients with CMV-replication versus 50.7% without n.s.) Conclusions: This is the first report which demonstrates a strong and independent effect of early CMV replication on the PFS in patients with lymphoma. This effect deserves further and more comprehensive studies with regard to its clinical relevance and the underlying anti-lymphoma mechanisms. Cumulative incidence of progression-free survival (PFS) stratified by posttransplant HCMV pp65-antigenemia and cell type of aggressive lymphoma. Disclosures: No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

    Abstract: Introduction: Cytogenetic changes occur in 50% of patients (pts) with Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS). Complex aberrations (cA, = 3 or more) are associated with a very poor outcome. In about 50% of the cases with cA aberrations of the TP53 locus are detectable. Those pts show an even worse outcome with a significantly shortened median overall survival (OS) compared to pts with wildtype TP53 (wtTP53). One of the most common cytogenetic aberrations in MDS is an interstitial deletion of the long arm of chromosome 5 (5q). As an isolated aberration, it is associated with a rather favorable prognosis. As part of a cA, 5q deletions however are assumed to even worsen the prognosis further. We wanted to find out in which prevalence 5q deletions and TP53 changes appear together and how those two factors in combination or not influence the OS of pts with MDS and cA. Methods: 218 pts with MDS or sAML and cA were identified and extensively characterized. 126 of them were diagnosed with MDS, 89 with sAML and 3 with CMML. Cytogenetic analysis by chromosome banding (CBA) and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) of the TP53 locus on 17p as well as sequencing of TP53 either by Sanger or by Next Generation Sequencing was available for all pts. Multicolour FISH (mFISH) was available for 146 pts, SNP array analysis for 42 pts. The median number of cytogenetic aberrations was 8 (range 3-50). At the time of first diagnosis with cA the median age was 72 (range: 29-95). Median OS of the entire cohort was 10.7 months (95% CI: 8.0-16.4). Results: In 146 of 218 pts we found alterations of TP53: a single hit mutation in 32 pts, a single deletion in 22 pts, a combined mutation and deletion in 67 pts and more than 1 mutation in 25 pts. The OS of those 146 pts was 6.6 months compared to 22 months of the pts with wtTP53 (p-value & lt;0.0001). In 161 of 218 pts we found deletions of 5q (del(5q)). The median OS of those pts was significantly shorter than those of pts without del(5q) (8.4 vs. 20 months, p-value 0.001). 130 of 218 pts both had a del(5q) and an alteration of TP53, 31 pts only had a del(5q) and wtTP53 and 16 pts showed different types of TP53 alterations without del(5q). The median OS of pts with TP53 multi hit status as defined by Bernard (Bernard et al., Nature Medicine 2020) was 6.6 months, 5.3 months in pts with single hit TP53 mutations and a del(5q) and 21.6 months in pts, with wtTP53 and del(5q) (p-value = 0.0025, figure 1). Conclusion: Mutations and/or deletions of TP53 show a strong association with del(5q). Both were frequent in our cohort of 218 pts with MDS and cA. There also was a large intersection of 130 pts with both del(5q) and TP53 alteration. The combination of both changes seems to further worsen the already poor prognosis of pts with MDS and cA. Our observation that those two factors appear together frequently supports the hypothesis that the presence of del(5q) may promote the acquisition of cA. This is in accordance with Hsu´s hypothesis that in small clones with a mono-allelic TP53 mutation a del(5q) may favor the loss of heterozygosity of TP53 which could in a next step lead to a higher complexity of cytogenetic aberrations (Hsu et al, 2019). It is remarkable that the presence of del(5q) in combination with a single hit status of TP53 confers the same bad prognosis compared to multi hit TP53 status (figure 1).We will continue analyzing pts with MDS and cA to examine the influence of different TP53 and 5q alterations on the prognosis, the disease progression and median OS of those pts with cA.

    Abstract: Angiogenesis plays an important role in the pathogenesis and progression in multiple myeloma (MM), and MM cells secrete vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), which further promotes proliferation of the tumor cells. Therefore, we evaluated the anti-myeloma effect of VEGF small interfering RNA (siRNA) silencing in MM cells and whether it can be augmented by the additional application of bortezomib directed against the 26S proteasome. After transfection with VEGF siRNA, we observed a reduction of VEGF expression in all studied cell lines: OPM-2, RPMI-8226, INA-6, Jurkat, Raji, and Karpas-299, as well as in cells of MM and lymphoma patients. VEGF siRNA significantly induced apoptosis and inhibited proliferation in OPM-2 cells (P & lt;0.0001), RPMI-8226 (P & lt;0.0001), and INA-6 (P & lt;0.01) versus controls. Cotreatment with VEGF siRNA and bortezomib in MM cells resulted in an exaggerated inhibition of proliferation and induction of apoptosis compared with VEGF siRNA or bortezomib alone (P & lt;0.001). In addition, the combination of VEGF siRNA and bortezomib significantly (P & lt;0.01) reversed multidrug resistance gene 1-dependent resistance of MM cells. Our data suggest that small-molecule inhibition of proteasome and silencing by VEGF-specific siRNA may be associated with an additive antitumor activity and might be a suitable target for new, therapeutic strategies using RNA interference in MM.
