Abstract In this study, the anti-acute myeloid leukemia (AML) effects of Ziziphora clinopodioides Lam leaf aqueous extract conjugated cadmium nanoparticles (CdNPs) were compared with daunorubicin as a common chemotherapeutic drug. To synthesize CdNPs, Z. clinopodioides aqueous extract was combined with Cd(NO 3 ) 2 .4H 2 O. For analyzing CdNPs, SEM, UV-Vis. spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffraction and Energy dispersing X-ray spectroscopy, Fourier Transform Infrared techniques were used. In FE-SEM images of CdNPs, the diameter of particle dimension was on means of 26.78 nm. To survey the cytotoxicity and anti-AML effects of Cd(NO 3 ) 2 , Z. clinopodioides, Daunorubicin, CdNPs and MTT assay was used on the human AML cell lines. The IC50 of the cadmium nanoparticles was 168, 205 and 210 µg/mL against Murine C1498, 32D/FLT3-ITD and Human HL-60/vcr cell lines, respectively. In vivo study, CdNPs like daunorubicin ameliorated importantly (P≤0.01) the biochemical, WBC, RBC, inflammatory, platelet, stereological, histopathological and cellular-molecular parameters compared to the other groups. As mentioned, the cadmium nanoparticles had significant anti-AML effects. After approving the above eventuate in the clinical trial studies, these cadmium nanoparticles could be used in humans as a chemotherapeutic medicament for the treatment of AML. Additionally, the novel nanoparticles (Cd(NO 3 ) 2 and CdNPs) were good inhibitors of the α-glycosidase, and cholinesterase enzymes.

IntroductionThe present study investigated the anti-acute myeloid leukemia effects of Ziziphora clinopodides Lam leaf aqueous extract conjugated cadmium nanoparticles.Material and methodsTo synthesize CdNPs, Z. clinopodides aqueous extract was mixed with Cd(NO3)2 .4H2O. The characterization of the biosynthesized cadmium nanoparticles was carried out using many various techniques such as UV-Vis. and FT-IR spectroscopy, XRD, FE-SEM, and EDS.ResultsThe uniform spherical morphology of NPs was proved by FE-SEM images with NPs the average size of 26.78cnm. For investigating the antioxidant properties of Cd(NO3)2, Z. clinopodides, CdNPs, and Daunorubicin, the DPPH test was used. The cadmium nanoparticles inhibited half of the DPPH molecules in a concentration of 196 µg/mL. To survey the cytotoxicity and anti-acute myeloid leukemia effects of Cd(NO3)2, Z. clinopodides, CdNPs, and Daunorubicin, MTT assay was used on the human acute myeloid leukemia cell lines i.e., Murine C1498, 32D-FLT3-ITD, and Human HL-60/vcr. The IC50 of the cadmium nanoparticles was 168, 205, and 210 µg/mL against Murine C1498, 32D-FLT3-ITD, and Human HL-60/vcr cell lines, respectively. In the part of in vivo study, DMBA was used for inducing acute myeloid leukemia in mice. CdNPs similar to daunorubicin ameliorated significantly (p≤0.01) the biochemical, inflammatory, RBC, WBC, platelet, stereological, histopathological, and cellular-molecular parameters compared to the other groups.ConclusionsAs mentioned, the cadmium nanoparticles had significant anti-acute myeloid leukemia effects. After approving the above results in the clinical trial studies, these cadmium nanoparticles can be used as a chemotherapeutic drug to treat acute myeloid leukemia in humans.

Background: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) represents the largest number of annual deaths from hematologic malignancy. In the United States, it was estimated that 21.380 individuals would be diagnosed with AML and 49.5% of patients would die in 2017. Therefore, the search for novel compounds capable of increasing the overall survival rate to the treatment of AML cells is urgent. Objectives: To investigate the cytotoxicity effect of the natural compound pomolic acid (PA) and to explore the mechanism of action of PA in AML cell lines with different phenotypes. Methods: Three different AML cell lines, HL60, U937 and Kasumi-1 cells with different mechanisms of resistance were used to analyze the effect of PA on the cell cycle progression, on DNA intercalation and on human DNA topoisomerases (hTopo I and IIα) in vitro studies. Theoretical experiments of the inhibition of hTopo I and IIα were done to explore the binding modes of PA. Results: PA reduced cell viability, induced cell death, increased sub-G0/G1 accumulation and activated caspases pathway in all cell lines, altered the cell cycle distribution and inhibited the catalytic activity of both human DNA topoisomerases. Conclusion: Finally, this study showed that PA has powerful antitumor activity against AML cells, suggesting that this natural compound might be a potent antineoplastic agent to improve the treatment scheme of this neoplasm.

Survivin is a 16.5 kDa protein highly expressed in centrosomes, where it controls proper sister chromatid separation. In addition to its function in mitosis, survivin is also involved in apoptosis. Overexpression of survivin in many cancer types makes it a suitable target for cancer therapy. Western blotting and confocal microscopy were used to characterize the effect of chemotherapy on acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells. We found enhanced survivin expression in a panel of AML cell lines treated with cytarabine (Ara-C), which is part of a first-line induction regimen for AML therapy. Simultaneously, Ara-C caused growth arrest and depletion of the mitotic cell fraction. Subsequently, the effect of a second component of standard therapy protocol, idarubicin, and of a known survivin inhibitor, YM-155, on cell viability and survivin expression and localization in AML cells was investigated. Idarubicin reversed Ara-C-induced survivin upregulation in the majority of AML cell lines. YM-155 caused survivin deregulation together with a viability decrease in cells resistant to idarubicin treatment, suggesting that YM-155 might be efficient in a specific subset of AML patients. Expression levels of other apoptosis-related proteins, in particular X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis (XIAP), Mcl-1, and p53, and of the cell-cycle inhibitor p21 considerably changed in almost all cases, confirming the off-target effects of YM-155.

AbstractLineage-defining transcription factors (TFs) are compelling targets for leukemia therapy, yet they are among the most challenging proteins to modulate directly with small molecules. We previously used CRISPR screening to identify a Salt-Inducible Kinase 3 (SIK3) requirement for the growth of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cell lines that overexpress the lineage TF MEF2C. In this context, SIK3 maintains MEF2C function by directly phosphorylating histone deacetylase 4 (HDAC4), a repressive cofactor of MEF2C. Here, we evaluated whether inhibition of SIK3 with the tool compound YKL-05-099 can suppress MEF2C function and attenuate disease progression in animal models of AML. Genetic targeting of SIK3 or MEF2C selectively suppressed the growth of transformed hematopoietic cells underin vitroandin vivoconditions. Similar phenotypes were obtained when exposing cells to YKL-05-099, which caused cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in MEF2C-expressing AML cell lines. An epigenomic analysis revealed that YKL-05-099 rapidly suppressed MEF2C function by altering the phosphorylation state and nuclear localization of HDAC4. Using a gatekeeper allele ofSIK3, we found that the anti-proliferative effects of YKL-05-099 occurred through on-target inhibition of SIK3 kinase activity. Based on these findings, we treated two different mouse models of MLL-AF9 AML with YKL-05-099, which attenuated disease progressionin vivoand extended animal survival at well-tolerated doses. These findings validate SIK3 as a therapeutic target in MEF2C-positive AML and provide a rationale for developing drug-like inhibitors of SIK3 for definitive pre-clinical investigation and for studies in human patients with leukemia.Key PointsAML cells are uniquely sensitive to genetic or chemical inhibition of Salt-Inducible Kinase 3in vitroandin vivo.A SIK inhibitor YKL-05-099 suppresses MEF2C function and AMLin vivo.
