Concanavalin A staining: a potential biomarker to predict cytarabine sensitivity in acute myeloid leukemia
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a cancer of the myeloid lineage of blood cells, with an overall 5-year survival rate of 25%, mainly due to therapy-resistant relapses in > 50% of patients. The standard treatment for AML comprises cytarabine (AraC) with anthracyclines. Biomarkers to determine AraC sensitivity are currently lacking, thus hampering the rational choice of optimal treatment protocols, which would be especially warranted in the case of primary refractory disease. In the current study, we hypothesized that AraC-resistant AML cells harbor a different “sugar decoration”, i.e., glycosylation profile, compared with sensitive cells, which could be used as biomarker for AraC sensitivity. Therefore, we analyzed the expression of glycosylation-related genes in publicly available AML datasets, whereby the high expression of mannosylation-related genes (6 out of 13) was significantly associated with a worse survival in patients treated with AraC-based intensive chemotherapy protocols. In line with these data, the AraC-resistant AML cells expressed higher levels of high mannose N-glycans, as detected by mass spectrometry-based glycomics. Concanavalin A (ConA), a lectin that specifically recognizes α-mannoses in N-glycans, bound more strongly to AraC-resistant cells, and the extent of the ConA binding was correlated with AraC sensitivity in a panel of AML cell lines. Furthermore, the ConA staining could discriminate AraC sensitivity in vitro between two patient-derived AML samples taken at diagnosis. Therefore, the ConA staining may be a potential novel biomarker to predict AraC sensitivity in AML..
