Abstract Abstract 4915 The aim of the study was to evaluate the differences in cytotoxicity, apoptosis and autophagy levels in myeloid leukemia cell lines treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors compared to cell line resistant to imatinib and control group. Chronic myeloid leukemia model was created by using cell lines as K-562 cell line for Ph+ chronic myeloid leukemia model, HL-60 cell line for acute promyelocytic Ph- leukemia model. NCI-BL2171 normal cell line was used as a control group while K562/ima3 cell line was used as an imatinib resistant model. Imatinib (STI571), Dasatinib (BMS-354825), Ponatinib (AP24534) were used as tyrosine kinase inhibitors in this study. Cytotoxicity analysis was conducted by WST-1 analysis. Apoptotis was evaluated by AnnexinV-enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) and by Mitoprobe JC-1 for Mitochondrial Potential Detection. Autophagy was analyzed by The Premo Autophagy Tb/GFP TR-FRET LC3B assay which measures autophagy in cells expressing green fluorescent protein (GFP)-tagged LC3B using a Tb-based TR-FRET immunoassay approach. By using IC50 doses of tyrosine kinase inhibitors, autophagic effect of these drugs on cell lines were examined at 24th hours. Cells not treated with the active substance or chloroquine were considered as control groups. Chloroquine-treated cells were used as positive control for autophagy. LC3B-II increase is an indicator of autophagic suppression. Cells treated with chloroquine were compared with cells treated with active substances and concentrations of BacMam that displayed the highest LC3B-II increase were selected. Autophagic suppression ratio of the drugs was evaluated among the control group. Cytotoxicity, apoptosis and autophagy analysis results were provided in Table. Compared to control group, 30 μM chloroquine repressed autophagy 1. 93, 1. 48, 2. 74 and 1. 54 fold in K562, HL-60, K562/ima3 and NCI-BL 2171 cells, respectively. In HL-60 cells while Imatinib represented 0. 77 fold autophagy, it repressed autophagy 1. 77 and 3. 49 fold in K562 and K562/ima3 cells respectively. Dasatinib repressed autophagy 2. 11, 1. 95 and 4. 62 fold and Ponatinib repressed autophagy 2. 09, 1. 60 and 9. 15 fold in K562, HL-60, K562/ima3 cells respectively. Imatinib, Dasatinib and Ponatinib did not repressed autophagy in NCI-BL 2171 cells. In conclusion, apoptosis and autophagy paradox was illuminated in myeloid leukemia cells via tyrosine kinase inhibitors and autophagy may be a new strategy for targeted therapy in myeloid leukemia after clarifying responsible genes and proteins in signal transduction pathways.

Abstract Molecular profiling of Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (ALK)-positive versus negative cell lines and patients’ samples has unravelled critical roles for transcriptional factors (TF) (C/EBPbeta, Bcl-6) in Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphomas (ALCL), suggesting that targeting these TF with ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitors should yield better results (Lamant L et al., Blood 2008). In this latter work of our group, beta-catenin and its transcriptional partner T Cell Factor 4 (TCF4) were also found upregulated at a transcriptional level in ALK+ vs ALK− patients’ samples and cell lines. We sought to determine the relevance of such a finding. At the protein level, ALK+ cell lines (SU-DHL-1, Karpas299 and COST) and ALK− cell line (FEPD) express detectable beta-catenin. TCF-4 is also expressed at similar levels among cell lines, whatever ALK status. Since beta-catenin is mainly regulated through post-transcriptional mechanism, we assessed its phosphorylation status. ALK+ (SU-DHL-1 and Karpas299), but not ALK− cell lines displayed increased tyrosine phosphorylation at both Tyr142 and Tyr654 residues, as well as association between beta-catenin and ALK (in immuno-precipitation assays). Moreover, both total beta-catenin and phosphoTyr-beta-catenin were found associated with TCF4, and therefore transcriptionally active. Using the tetracycline system to allow conditional expression of NPM-ALK in MEF cell line (murine embryonic fibroblasts), we found that beta-catenin phosphorylation became barely detectable upon loss of NPM-ALK expression. Based on these findings, we investigated the functional consequences of the disruption of beta-catenin/TCF4 complexes using small molecules such as PKF115–584 and CGP049090 (a generous gift from Novartis). Interestingly, both compounds induced dissociation of beta-catenin/TCF4 complexes at 0.5μM for 24h, and also induced apoptosis in SU-DHL-1 cells. But, since compounds could not dissociate beta-catenin/ALK complexes, they should be combined to ALK inhibitors to fully exert their anti-lymphoma effects. Moreover, the pool of beta-catenin linked to Glycogene Synthase Kinase 3beta (regulated by external Wnt-dependant signals) is neither affected by small compounds, indicating a specific beta-catenin/TCF4 disruption with these drugs. To conclude, this study shows that, in ALCL, ALK activates a Wnt-independent pathway, which appears to be critical for cell survival. This study offers a rationale for investigating the potential of molecules designed to interfere with beta-catenin/TCF/LEF proteins and currently evaluated in colon carcinomas, alone or in combination with ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitors.

The function of protein kinases is to transfer a γ-phosphate group from ATP to serine, threonine, or tyrosine residues. Many of these kinases are linked to the initiation and development of human cancer. The recent development of small molecule kinase inhibitors for the treatment of different types of cancer in clinical therapy has proven successful. Significantly, after the G-protein-coupled receptors, protein kinases are the second most active category of drug targets. Imatinib mesylate was the first tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), approved for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) treatment. Imatinib induces appropriate responses in ~60% of patients; with ~20% discontinuing therapy due to sensitivity, and ~20% developing drug resistance. The introduction of newer TKIs such as, nilotinib, dasatinib, bosutinib, and ponatinib has provided patients with multiple options. Such agents are more active, have specific profiles of side effects and are more likely to reach the necessary milestones. First-line treatment decisions must be focused on CML risk, patient preferences and comorbidities. Given the excellent result, half of the patients eventually fail to seek first-line treatment (due to discomfort or resistance), with many of them needing a third or even further therapy lines. In the present review, we will address the role of tyrosine kinase inhibitors in therapy for chronic myeloid leukemia.

Dasatinib is the second-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor used in the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia. Proteinuria has been reported with this agent. We describe two kidney biopsy–proven cases of dasatinib-induced thrombotic microangiopathy that responded to stoppage of dasatinib and using an alternate tyrosine kinase inhibitor. Certain specific tyrosine kinase inhibitors lead to endothelial injury and renal-limited thrombotic microangiopathy. Hematologists and nephrologists need to be familiar with this off-target effect of dasatinib.

Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is characterized by the expression of the oncogenic kinase BCR-ABL. Although tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) against BCR-ABL represent the standard therapeutic option for CML, resistances to TKIs can be a serious problem. Thus, the search for novel therapeutic approaches is still needed. CML cells show an increased ROS production, which is required for maintaining the BCR-ABL signaling cascade active. In line with that, reducing ROS levels could be an interesting therapeutic strategy for the clinical management of resistant CML. To analyze the therapeutic potential of xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR) in CML, we tested the effect of XOR inhibitor allopurinol. Here, we show for the first time the therapeutic potential of allopurinol against BCR-ABL-positive CML cells. Allopurinol reduces the proliferation and clonogenic ability of the CML model cell lines K562 and KCL22. More importantly, the combination of allopurinol with imatinib or nilotinib reduced cell proliferation in a synergistic manner. Moreover, the co-treatment arms hampered cell clonogenic capacity and induced cell death more strongly than each single-agent arm. The reduction of intracellular ROS levels and the attenuation of the BCR-ABL signaling cascade may explain these effects. Finally, the self-renewal potential of primary bone marrow cells from CML patients was also severely reduced especially by the combination of allopurinol with TKIs. In summary, here we show that XOR inhibition is an interesting therapeutic option for CML, which can enhance the effectiveness of the TKIs currently used in clinics.

Simian hemorrhagic fever virus (SHFV) causes acute, lethal disease in macaques. We developed a single-plasmid cDNA-launch infectious clone of SHFV (rSHFV) and modified the clone to rescue an enhanced green fluorescent protein-expressing rSHFV-eGFP that can be used for rapid and quantitative detection of infection. SHFV has a narrow cell tropism in vitro, with only the grivet MA-104 cell line and a few other grivet cell lines being susceptible to virion entry and permissive to infection. Using rSHFV-eGFP, we demonstrate that one cricetid rodent cell line and three ape cell lines also fully support SHFV replication, whereas 55 human cell lines, 11 bat cell lines, and three rodent cells do not. Interestingly, some human and other mammalian cell lines apparently resistant to SHFV infection are permissive after transfection with the rSHFV-eGFP cDNA-launch plasmid. To further demonstrate the investigative potential of the infectious clone system, we introduced stop codons into eight viral open reading frames (ORFs). This approach suggested that at least one ORF, ORF 2b’, is dispensable for SHFV in vitro replication. Our proof-of-principle experiments indicated that rSHFV-eGFP is a useful tool for illuminating the understudied molecular biology of SHFV.
