Described are biomarkers and associated methods for determining a prognosis for a subject with leukemia and/or for detecting Leukemic Regenerating Cells (LRCs) or Hematopoietic Regenerating Cells. While chemotherapy may successfully deplete leukemic stem cells (LSCs), a molecularly distinct population of LRCs are observed following cytotoxic chemotherapy not seen in therapy naïve subjects with leukemia or healthy hematopoietic cell populations. Also described are methods for the treatment of leukemia that target LRCs in a subject in need thereof.

No: 16/562792 Application Filed: September 06, 2019 Claim: 1. A method of determining a prognosis for a subject who has completed a cytotoxic treatment for leukemia, the method comprising: determining a level of one or more biomarkers listed in Table 4a in a test sample obtained from the subject after completing the cytotoxic treatment for leukemia; and comparing the level of the one or more biomarkers in the test sample to one or more control levels, wherein a difference or similarity in the level of the one or more biomarkers in the test sample compared to the one or more control levels is indicative of whether the subject has an increased or decreased risk of relapsing leukemia. Claim: 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the one or more biomarkers comprise biomarkers selected from SLC2A2, DRD2, FASLG and FUT3. Claim: 3. The method of claim 1, comprising determining a level of SLC2A2 in the test sample wherein an increased level of SLC2A2 of in the test sample compared to the control level is indicative of an increased risk of relapsing leukemia. Claim: 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the test sample comprises leukemic cells, optionally CD45+ cells. Claim: 5. The method of claim 1, comprising generating a biomarker expression profile for the test sample based on the levels of a plurality of the biomarkers in the test sample, and comparing the biomarker expression profile for the test sample to a control biomarker expression profile, wherein the control biomarker expression profile is representative of Leukemic Regenerating Cells (LRCs) and a similarity in the biomarker expression profile of the test sample and the control biomarker expression profile is indicative of an increased risk of relapsing leukemia. Claim: 6. The method of claim 1, wherein the test sample is obtained from the subject between about 10 days and 40 days after completing the cytotoxic treatment. Claim: 7. The method of claim 1, the method comprising: generating a biomarker expression profile for the test sample from the subject based on the level of one or more biomarkers listed in Table 4a; and classifying, on a computer, whether the subject has a good prognosis and a low risk of relapsing leukemia or a poor prognosis and a high risk of relapsing leukemia, based on the biomarker expression profile for the test sample. Claim: 8. A method of treating a subject having leukemia, comprising determining a prognosis of the subject according to the method of claim 1, and providing a suitable treatment to the subject in need thereof according to the prognosis determined. Claim: 9. A method of detecting Leukemic Regenerating Cells (LRCs) in a test sample, the method comprising: detecting a level of one or more biomarkers listed in Table 4A in the test sample; and comparing the level of the one or more biomarkers in the test sample to one or more control levels. Claim: 10. The method of claim 9, wherein the one or more control levels are representative of the level of the one or more biomarkers in LRCs and similarity between the level of the one or more biomarkers in the test sample and the one or more control levels is indicative of the presence of LRCs in the test sample. Claim: 11. The method of claim 9, further comprising isolating the LRCs from the test sample. Claim: 12. An isolated population of LRCs produced according to the method of claim 11, wherein the cells express one or more of the biomarkers listed in Table 4a. Claim: 13. A cell culture comprising the population of LRCs of claim 12 and a culture media, wherein the culture media comprises serum from a subject previously exposed to a cytotoxic therapy, optionally cytarabine. Claim: 14. A method of screening a test agent for use in preventing or inhibiting relapsing leukemia, the method comprising: contacting the test agent with the LRCs of claim 12; and detecting a biological effect of the test agent on the LRCs. Claim: 15. The method of claim 14, wherein the biological effect comprises a reduction in the level of LRCs and the test agent is identified as a candidate for preventing or inhibiting relapsing leukemia. Claim: 16. A method of treating leukemia in a subject in need thereof, the method comprising administering to the subject an agent that targets Leukemic Regenerating Cells (LRCs), wherein the subject has completed a cytotoxic treatment for leukemia. Claim: 17. The method of claim 16, wherein the agent selectively targets LRCs relative to HRCs. Claim: 18. The method of claim 16, comprising administering the agent that targets LRCs to the subject between 10 days and 40 days after completing the cytotoxic treatment for leukemia. Claim: 19. The method of claim 16, wherein the agent that targets LRCs is an antagonist for a gene or protein selected from VIPR2, PAFAH1B3, LPAR3, FGFR2, CLPS, KCNA4, BAAT, HTR4, NALCN, CARTPT, HTR1B, DRD2, BDKRB1, KCNJ10, SLC36A2, GRM5, KCNA10, SLC2A2 and PLG. Claim: 20. The method of claim 16, wherein the agent that targets LRCs is a DRD2 antagonist, optionally thioridazine. Current International Class: 12; 61; 16
