Here, we address the impact of intact apoptosis signaling in 78 patients with pediatric precursor B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) by analysis of 2 key apoptogenic events: caspase-3 activation and cytochrome c release in leukemia cells cultured in vitro. Both events correlated only in the group of patients who had a good response and patients in continuous remission, suggesting that intact apoptosis signaling is a characteristic for favorable outcome. By combining both parameters, we identified a novel indicator, cytochrome c–related activation of caspase-3 (CRAC). CRAC directly connects the extent of caspase-3 activation to cytochrome c release in single cells in an individual patient sample. In CRAC-positive patients, indicating proficient apoptosis signaling, the number of persisting leukemia cells on day 15 was significantly lower than in the CRAC-negative patient group (n = 27, mean 6.0% versus n = 36, mean 22.6%; P = .003). At a median follow-up of 31 months, disease-free survival was 84 months (95% CI = 76 to 91 months) and 66 months (95% CI = 52 to 80 months) for patients with positive and negative CRAC, respectively (P = .019). CRAC may serve as a functionally defined risk factor for treatment stratification.</jats:p> Cytochrome c–related caspase-3 activation determines treatment response and relapse in childhood precursor B-cell ALL Blood
