Leukemia Cell Lines: In Vitro Models for the Study of Chronic Neutrophilic Leukemia

Chronic neutrophilic leukemia (CNL) is a rare myeloproliferative neoplasm that is genetically characterized by the absence of both the Philadelphia chromosome and BCR-ABL1 fusion gene and the high prevalence of mutations in the colony-stimulating factor 3 receptor (CSF3R). Additional disease-modifyi...

description Chronic neutrophilic leukemia (CNL) is a rare myeloproliferative neoplasm that is genetically characterized by the absence of both the Philadelphia chromosome and BCR-ABL1 fusion gene and the high prevalence of mutations in the colony-stimulating factor 3 receptor (CSF3R). Additional disease-modifying mutations have been recognized in CNL samples, portraying a distinct mutational landscape. Despite the growing knowledge base on genomic aberrations, further progress could be gained from the availability of representative models of CNL. To address this gap, we screened a large panel of available leukemia cell lines, followed by a detailed mutational investigation with focus on the CNL-associated candidate driver genes. The sister cell lines CNLBC-1 and MOLM-20 were derived from a patient with CNL and carry CNL-typical molecular hallmarks, namely mutations in several genes, such as CSF3R, ASXL1, EZH2, NRAS, and SETBP1. The use of these validated and comprehensively characterized models will benefit the understanding of the pathobiology of CNL and help inform therapeutic strategies.
