Abstract Text | FLT3 mutations are prevalent in AML patients and confer poor prognosis. Crenolanib, a potent type I pan-FLT3 inhibitor, is effective against both internal tandem duplications and resistance-conferring tyrosine kinase domain mutations. While crenolanib monotherapy has demonstrated clinical benefit in heavily pretreated relapsed/refractory AML patients, responses are transient and relapse eventually occurs. Here, to investigate the mechanisms of crenolanib resistance, we perform whole exome sequencing of AML patient samples before and after crenolanib treatment. Unlike other FLT3 inhibitors, crenolanib does not induce FLT3 secondary mutations, and mutations of the FLT3 gatekeeper residue are infrequent. Instead, mutations of NRAS and IDH2 arise, mostly as FLT3-independent subclones, while TET2 and IDH1 predominantly co-occur with FLT3-mutant clones and are enriched in crenolanib poor-responders. The remaining patients exhibit post-crenolanib expansion of mutations associated with epigenetic regulators, transcription factors, and cohesion factors, suggesting diverse genetic/epigenetic mechanisms of crenolanib resistance. Drug combinations in experimental models restore crenolanib sensitivity. |

---|---|---|---|---|---|
FLT3 | D200N | missense | no effect - predicted | FLT3 D200N lies within the extracellular domain of the Flt3 protein (UniProt.org). D200N is not transforming in cell culture (PMID: 30651561), and therefore, is predicted to have no effect on Flt3 protein function. | |
FLT3 | D835Y | missense | gain of function | FLT3 D835Y lies within the protein kinase domain activation loop of the Flt3 protein (UniProt.org, PMID: 11290608). D835Y results in constitutive phosphorylation of Flt3 and activation of Stat5, Erk signaling, leading to transformation of cultured cells (PMID: 15256420, PMID: 30651561), and has been demonstrated to promote secondary drug resistance in the context of FLT3 internal tandem duplication (FLT3-ITD) mutations (PMID: 22504184, PMID: 29187377). | Y |
FLT3 | F691L | missense | no effect - predicted | FLT3 F691L lies within the protein kinase domain of the Flt3 protein (PMID: 23430109). F691L has been demonstrated to promote secondary drug resistance in the context of FLT3 internal tandem duplication (FLT3-ITD) mutations (PMID: 23430109, PMID: 19318574, PMID: 22504184, PMID: 29187377), but is not transforming in cell culture (PMID: 30651561), and therefore, is predicted to have no effect on Flt3 protein function. | Y |
FLT3 | K429E | missense | gain of function - predicted | FLT3 K429E lies within the extracellular domain of the Flt3 protein (UniProt.org). K429E is predicted to confer a gain of function to the Flt3 protein, as demonstrated by transformation of cells in culture (PMID: 30651561). | Y |
FLT3 | L601F | missense | no effect - predicted | FLT3 L601F lies within the cytoplasmic domain of the Flt3 protein (UniProt.org). L601F is not transforming in cell culture (PMID: 30651561), and therefore, is predicted to have no effect on Flt3 protein function. | |
FLT3 | Y572C | missense | gain of function | FLT3 Y572C lies within the cytoplasmic domain of the Flt3 protein (UniProt.org). Y572C results in constitutive phosphorylation of Flt3, activation of Erk, Akt and Stat signaling, and is transforming in cell culture (PMID: 18068628, PMID: 30651561). |
