Abstract
The survival of patients with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) carrying mutations in TP53 is dismal. We report the results of a detailed characterization of responses to treatment ex vivo with the MDM2 inhibitor MI219, a p53 protein stabilizer, in AML blasts from 165 patients focusing analyses on patients with WT TP53. In total 33% of AML were absolute resistant to MDM2 inhibitor–induced apoptosis, of which 45% carried TP53 mutation and 55% were TP53 WT. We conducted array-based expression profiling of 10 resistant and ten sensitive AML cases with WT TP53 status, respectively, at baseline and after 2 hours and 6 hours of MDM2 inhibitor treatment. While sensitive cases showed the induction of classical TP53 response genes, this was absent or attenuated in resistant cases. In addition, the sensitive and resistant AML samples at baseline profoundly differed in the expression of inflammation-related and mitochondrial genes. No patient with TP53 mutated AML survived. The 4-year survival of AML with defective MDM2 inhibitor–induced TP53-mediated apoptosis despite WT TP53 was dismal, at 19% when NPM1 was comutated and 6% when NPM1 was WT. In summary, we identified prevalent multicausal defects in TP53-mediated apoptosis in AML resulting in extremely poor patient survival.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.
Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
