| Study Title | Folate profiling of human CSF from pediatric ALL patients |
| Study Summary | To investigate the changes in CSF metabolites in human pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) patients, human CSF from 57 pediatric ALL patients was collected at 5 standardized time points as part of the DFCI 16-001 trial and subjected to non-polar and polar metabolomics. Analysis of folate species in these CSF samples revealed expected changes in 5-methyl tetrahydrofolate levels, consistent with the effects of methotrexate treatment. |

| Project Title: | In vivo CRISPR screen identifies copper metabolism as a vulnerability in acute lymphoblastic leukemia |
| Project Summary: | The nutrient-sparse cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) poses a significant challenge to spreading cancer cells. Despite this challenge, leukemia often spreads to the CSF and represents a significant clinical complication. To uncover nutritional dependencies of leukemia cells in the CSF that could be targeted therapeutically, we conducted an in vivo targeted CRISPR screen in a xenograft model of leukemia. We found that SLC31A1, the primary cell surface copper importer, is a genetic dependency of leukemia in both the central nervous system as well as in the hematopoietic organs. Perturbation of copper metabolism leads to complex IV deficiency, perturbed nucleotide metabolism and slowed leukemia cell proliferation. Furthermore, nutritional copper depletion reduced cancer progression in cell line based and patient-derived xenograft models of leukemia. Copper thus appears to be an actionable micronutrient in leukemia. |

Collection:
| Collection ID: | CO004583 |
| Collection Summary: | Excess human CSF during planned lumbar punctures was collected and kept on ice. Human CSF was aliquoted and stored at -80C. Samples were thawed once and re-aliquoted into 20uL aliquots and refrozen at -80C. |
| Sample Type: | Cerebrospinal fluid |
Treatment:
| Treatment ID: | TR004599 |
| Treatment Summary: | Human CSF samples were collected from patients enrolled in the DFCI 16-001 trial. Briefly, the lumbar puncture timepoints from which CSF was collected were as follows: F0 = lumbar puncture from the day of diagnosis (LP), F1 = day 18 of induction LP (induction is the phase in which intensive systemic and intrathecal chemotherapy is given to induce remission and kill most cancer cells. If successful, the patient proceeds to the first consolidation phase (Consolidation 1A) in which additional therapy is given to eradicate residual disease), F2 = central nervous system (CNS) phase LP 1 - (the 3-week CNS phase of therapy follows Consolidation 1A, and consists of therapy directed to the CNS through intrathecal administration. This helps to kill any cancer cells that are in the CNS, and to prevent subsequent spread of cancer into the CNS). This first LP is at the beginning of the CNS phase. F3 = CNS Phase LP 4 - this is the last LP during the CNS phase, F4 = 1st LP of Consolidation II - this phase follows the CNS phase and consists of additional therapy to ensure durable remission |
Sample Preparation:
| Sampleprep ID: | SP004596 |
| Sampleprep Summary: | Each sample contained 20uL of human CSF. 160uL of 100% LC-MS grade methanol supplemented with isotopically-labelled amino acid standards [Cambridge Isotope Laboratories, MSK-A2-1.2], aminopterin, and reduced glutathione standard [Cambridge Isotope Laboratories, CNLM-6245-10]). with repeated pipetting up and down and vortexing for 10 seconds. Then, 40uL of LCMS-grade water containing 125 mM Ammonium Acetate, 10 mM Na-Ascorbate, and 7.9 mg/mL 5,5-dithio-bis-(2-nitrobenzoic acid (Ellman's reagent) was added, and the sample vortexex for another 10 seconds. Samples were then centrifuged for 10 minutes at 18,000 g to pellet debris. The supernatant was transferred to a new tube and dried on ice using a liquid nitrogen dryer and stored at -80C. The dried metabolites were then resuspended in 15uL and 10uL was injected. |

| Chromatography Summary: | 5 μl was injected onto a Ascentis Express C18 HPLC column (2.7 μm × 15 cm × 2.1 mm; Sigma Aldrich). The column oven and autosampler tray were held at 30 °C and 4 °C, respectively. The following conditions were used to achieve chromatographic separation: buffer A was 0.1% formic acid in water; buffer B was acetonitrile with 0.1% formic acid. The chromatographic gradient was run at a flow rate of 0.250 ml min−1 as follows: 0–5 min: gradient was held at 5% B; 5–10 min: linear gradient of 5% to 36% B; 10.1–14.0 min: linear gradient from 36–95% B; 14.1–18.0 min: gradient was returned to 5% B. |
