Key Points APRIL significantly accelerates CLL onset in TCL1-Tg mice. APRIL-mediated prosurvival effects in leukemic cells depend on TACI and not BCMA ligation.

The Eµ-TCL1 transgenic mouse model represents the most widely and extensively used animal model for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). In this report, we performed a meta-analysis of leukemia progression in over 300 individual Eµ-TCL1 transgenic mice and discovered a significantly accelerated disease progression in females compared to males. This difference is also reflected in an aggressive CLL mouse model with additional deletion of Tp53 besides the TCL1 transgene. Moreover, after serial adoptive transplantation of murine CLL cells, female recipients also succumbed to CLL earlier than male recipients. This sex-related disparity in the murine models is markedly contradictory to the human CLL condition. Thus, due to our observation we urge both careful consideration in the experimental design and accurate description of the Eµ-TCL1 transgenic cohorts in future studies.

Abstract The development and the propagation of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) has been linked to signaling via the B-cell receptor (BCR). Protein kinase C β (PKCβ) is an essential signaling element of the BCR and was recently shown to be overexpressed in human CLL. We used the TCL1 transgenic mouse model to directly target PKCβ in the development of murine CLL. TCL1 overexpression did restore the CD5+ B-cell population that is absent in PKCβ-deficient mice. However, PKCβ-deleted TCL1 transgenic mice did not develop a CLL disease, suggesting a role of PKCβ in the establishment of the malignant clone. Moreover, targeting of PKCβ with the specific inhibitor enzastaurin led to killing of human CLL samples in vitro. We thus propose that PKCβ may be a relevant target for the treatment of CLL.

Key Points Kinase-functional BTK is important in the development and expansion of CLL. Both targeted genetic inactivation of BTK and inhibition of BTK by ibrutinib inhibit the development of CLL in the TCL1 mouse model.
