Determining the relationship of p16 INK4a and additional molecular markers of aging with clinical frailty in hematologic malignancy.
Journal of Cancer Survivorship : Research and Practice 2024 April 29
PURPOSE: Older adults with hematologic malignancies (HM) have unique challenges due to age and fitness. The primary aim of this pilot study was to benchmark the ability of multiple biomarkers of aging (p16, epigenetic clocks, T cell gene expression profiles, and T cell receptor excision circles (TREC) to identify frailty as measured by a clinical impairment index (I2 ) in patients with HM.
METHODS: 70 patients newly diagnosed with HM had peripheral blood T lymphocytes (PBTL) analyzed for p16INK4a expression using the OSU_Senescence Nanostring CodeSet. PBTL epigenetic age was measured using 7 epigenetic clocks, and TREC were quantified by qRT-PCR. A composite clinical impairment index (I2 ) was generated by combining values from 11 geriatric metrics (Independent Activities of Daily Living (iADL), physical health score, Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB), Body Mass Index (BMI), Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status, self-reported KPS, Blessed Orientation Memory Concentration (BOMC), polypharmacy, Mental Health Inventory (MHI)-17, Medical Outcomes Study (MOS) subscales). Clinical frailty was defined as a score of 7 or greater on the I2 .
RESULTS: Age-adjusted p16INK4a was similar in newly diagnosed patients and healthy controls (p > 0.1). PBTL p16INK4a levels correlated positively with the Hannum [r = 0.35, 95% CI (0.09-0.75); p adj. = 0.04] and PhenoAge [r = 0.37, 95% CI (0.11-0.59); p adj. = 0.04] epigenetic clocks. The discrimination ability of the I2 model was calculated using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). After adjusting for chronologic age and disease group, baseline p16INK4a [AUC = 0.76, 95% CI (0.56-0.98); p = 0.01], Hannum [AUC = 0.70, 95% CI (0.54-0.85); p = 0.01], PhenoAge [AUC = 0.71, 95% CI (0.55-0.86); p = 0.01], and DunedinPACE [AUC = 0.73, 95% CI (0.57-0.88); p = < 0.01] measures showed the greatest potential to identify clinical frailty using the I2 .
CONCLUSIONS: Our pilot data suggest that multiple blood-based aging biomarkers have potential to identify frailty in older adults with HM.
IMPLICATIONS FOR CANCER SURVIVORS: We developed the I2 index to quantify impairments across geriatric domains and discovered that PBTL p16, Hannum, PhenoAge, and DunedinPACE are promising indicators of frailty in HM.
