Abstract: Despite massive improvements in the treatment of B-ALL through CART-19 immunotherapy, a large number of patients suffer a relapse due to loss of the targeted epitope. Mutations in the CD19 locus and aberrant splicing events are known to account for the absence of surface antigen. However, early molecular determinants suggesting therapy resistance as well as the time point when first signs of epitope loss appear to be detectable are not enlightened so far. By deep sequencing of the CD19 locus, we identified a blast-specific 2-nucleotide deletion in intron 2 that exists in 35% of B-ALL samples at initial diagnosis. This deletion overlaps with the binding site of RNA binding proteins (RBPs) including PTBP1 and might thereby affect CD19 splicing. Moreover, we could identify a number of other RBPs that are predicted to bind to the CD19 locus being deregulated in leukemic blasts, including NONO. Their expression is highly heterogeneous across B-ALL molecular subtypes as shown by analyzing 706 B-ALL samples accessed via the St. Jude Cloud. Mechanistically, we show that downregulation of PTBP1, but not of NONO, in 697 cells reduces CD19 total protein by increasing intron 2 retention. Isoform analysis in patient samples revealed that blasts, at diagnosis, express increased amounts of CD19 intron 2 retention compared to normal B cells. Our data suggest that loss of RBP functionality by mutations altering their binding motifs or by deregulated expression might harbor the potential for the disease-associated accumulation of therapy-resistant CD19 isoforms.
