Expression of miR-497/195 in BCP-ALL xenograft and diagnostic samples. (A) Expression of miR-497/195 in an extended cohort of 55 pdx samples with TTLshort and TTLlong phenotypes assessed by qRT-PCR. Expression relative to healthy donor peripheral blood mononuclear cells compared between subgroups as indicated (Mann-Whitney U test, horizontal lines). (B) Expression of miR-497/195 in 55 pdx samples from patients who had early relapse, late relapse, or no relapse. (C) Time to leukemia onset (weeks) of NOD/SCID mice transplanted with patient cells, with high (upper quartile) or low (lower quartile) expression of miR-497/195 detected in the respective pdx samples. Expression of miR-497/195 is measured as log10 miR-497 + log10 miR-195 (log-rank test). (D) Expression of miR-497 and miR-195 in an independent cohort of 70 pediatric BCP-ALL diagnostic samples from patients with early, late, or no event (relapse or death in complete remission) assessed by TaqMan arrays.14 Expression relative to the mean of all the samples compared between subgroups as indicated (Mann-Whitney U test, horizontal lines). (E) Event-free survival of an independent cohort of patients with high (n = 17, upper quartile) or low (n = 17, lower quartile) expression of miR-497/195. Relapse and death in complete remission were included as “event” (log-rank test). (F) Relapse-free survival of 52 patients in an additional patient cohort, with high and low expression of miR-497/195 (above or below median). Expression of miR-497/195 is measured as log10 miR-497 + log10 miR-195 (log-rank test). Data are presented as mean ± standard error of the mean (SEM), in survival curves mean survival (%) ± SEM is indicated.
