Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) revolutionized the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia in the chronic phase (CML-CP). However, it is unlikely that they can completely “cure” the disease. This might be because some subpopulations of CML-CP cells such as stem and progenitor cells are resistant to chemotherapy, even to the new generation of TKIs. Therefore, it is important to look for new methods of treatment to improve therapeutic outcomes. Previously, we have shown that class I p21-activated serine/threonine kinases (PAKs) remained active in TKI-naive and TKI-treated CML-CP leukemia stem and early progenitor cells. In this study, we aimed to determine if simultaneous inhibition of BCR-ABL1 oncogenic tyrosine kinase and PAK1/2 serine/threonine kinase exert better anti-CML effect than that of individual treatments. PAK1 was inhibited by small-molecule inhibitor IPA-3 (p21-activated kinase inhibitor III), PAK2 was downregulated by specific short hairpin RNA (shRNA), and BCR-ABL1 tyrosine kinase was inhibited by imatinib (IM). The studies were conducted by using (i) primary CML-CP stem/early progenitor cells and normal hematopoietic counterparts isolated from the bone marrow of newly diagnosed patients with CML-CP and from healthy donors, respectively, (ii) CML-blast phase cell lines (K562 and KCL-22), and (iii) from BCR-ABL1-transformed 32Dcl3 cell line. Herein, we show that inhibition of the activity of PAK1 and/or PAK2 enhanced the effect of IM against CML cells without affecting the normal cells. We observed that the combined use of IM with IPA-3 increased the inhibition of growth and apoptosis of leukemia cells. To evaluate the type of interaction between the two drugs, we performed median effect analysis. According to our results, the type and strength of drug interaction depend on the concentration of the drugs tested. Generally, combination of IM with IPA-3 at the 50% of the cell kill level (EC50) generated synergistic effect. Based on our results, we hypothesize that IM, a BCR-ABL1 tyrosine kinase inhibitor, combined with a PAK1/2 inhibitor facilitates eradication of CML-CP cells.

AbstractChronic myeloid leukemia (CML) with T315I mutation has been reported to have poor prognosis. We analyzed 27 patients with T315I, including 20 who developed T315I after imatinib failure (representing 11% of 186 patients with imatinib failure), and 7 of 23 who developed new mutations after second tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI). Median follow-up from mutation detection was 18 months. At the time of T315I detection, 10 were in chronic phase (CP), 9 in accelerated phase, and 8 in blast phase. Except for the lack of response to second TKIs (P = .002), there was no difference in patient characteristics and outcome between patients with T315I and those with other or no mutations. Patients in CP had a 2-year survival rate of 87%. Although the T315I mutation is resistant to currently available TKIs, survival of patients with T315I remains mostly dependent on the stage of the disease, with many CP patients having an indolent course.

We present the case of a patient with multiple tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI)-refractory chronic phase chronic myeloid leukemia (CP-CML) with a T315I mutation of abl1. Dasatinib, a second-generation TKI, was administered as the initial treatment but achieved neither a cytogenetic nor molecular response. A mutational analysis of abl1 revealed that the patient had a T315I mutation. The patient was then administered ponatinib, a third-generation TKI, which is thought to be effective against T315I; however, the complete blood counts became within normal limits, and neither a cytogenetic nor molecular response was achieved. However, the patient has maintained a healthy chronic phase (with no blast crises) for more than 5½ years since the diagnosis of CP-CML. T-cell receptor (TCR) repertoire analyses using peripheral blood revealed a remarkable clonal expansion of effector cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) that contained TCR V beta 13.6. We observed the clonal expansion of naïve CTLs with TCR V beta 13.6; however, no clonality was observed in the memory CTLs. The naïve and effector CTLs persisted at very high percentages since the seventh month after starting dasatinib. The CTLs could not have led to the molecular response; therefore, there might be plenty of CML stem cells remaining in the bone marrow. Therefore, although the CTLs might have prevented the disease from developing blast crises over more than 5 years, the CTLs might not have been able to become memory CTLs.
