Cardiovascular complications are increasingly reported with the use of certain tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) to treat chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). We studied neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation in CML and evaluated the effect of TKIs on NET formation. Neutrophils isolated from treatment-naïve patients with CML showed a significant increase in NET formation compared to matched controls at baseline and after stimulation with ionomycin (IO) and phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA). Expression of citrullinated histone H3 (H3cit), peptidyl arginine deiminase 4 (PAD4) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) was significantly higher in CML samples compared to controls. Pre-treatment of neutrophils with TKIs was associated with a differential effect on NET formation, and ponatinib significantly augmented NET-associated elastase and ROS levels as compared to controls and other TKIs. BCR-ABL1 retroviral transduced HoxB8-immortalized mouse hematopoietic progenitors, which differentiate into neutrophils in-vitro, demonstrated increased H3cit & myeloperoxidase (MPO) expression consistent with excess NET formation. This was inhibited by Cl-amidine, a PAD4 inhibitor, but not by the NADPH inhibitor diphenyleneiodonium (DPI). Ponatinib pre-exposure significantly increased H3cit expression in HoxB8-BCR-ABL1 cells after stimulation with IO. In summary, CML is associated with increased NET formation, which is augmented by ponatinib, suggesting a possible role for NETs in promoting vascular toxicity in CML.

Abstract Background and Objectives: In clinical, conventional Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors (TKIs) including imatinib, dasatinib, and nilotinib are remarkably effective forms of therapy for certain types of solid cancers as well as Ph+ leukemias. In addition to the BCR-ABL target oncoprotein, they also inhibit certain off-target kinases (Eph, c-KIT, TEC, SRC). Some TKIs affect immune reconstitution as well as the proliferation, function, and activation of T cells. Certain TKIs have been known to have an especially strong effect on CD4+CD25+ T cells, also known as regulatory T Cells (Tregs). There is currently a gap in the clinical data available about on this area of study. Patients and methods: In this study, we collected 108 Peripheral Blood (PB) samples from patients in the Chronic Phase (CP) of Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) at the time of diagnosis (n=31) and also the TKIs treatment. Groups consisted of individuals treated with TKIs like imatinib (n=12), dasatinib (n=11) and nilotinib (n=8), as well as healthy controls (n=15). We evaluated the quantity and function of Tregs from patients in the CML-CP at the time of diagnosis and during treatment with TKIs. Results: It was found that at diagnosis, patients with CML had a similar proportion and absolute number of lymphocytes compared to healthy donors. After TKIs treatment, proportions and absolute numbers of total T cellsACD4+ T cells and Tregs decreased at different degree. Moreover, thedecrease would be more and more significant as time goes on.Our results indicated that although these three TKIs show similar inhibitory effects in the proportion and number of Tregs in vivo, they have differential effects on the functions of Tregs in vitro. The proliferation, suppression, and expression of suppressive cytokines (IL-4,IL-10 and TGF-β) as well as suppression-associated molecules (FoxP3, GITR, and CTLA-4) of Tregs decreased in groups treated with imatinib and dasatinib. The decrease was not significant in the nilotinib-treated group. Conclusions: The results showed that imatinib and dasatinib have stronger inhibitory roles than nilotinib when it comes to regulating the number and functions of Tregs. These findings can be used to argue in favor of calls for personalized treatment and follow-up of CML patients during TKIs treatment, particularly for those patients who received combination therapy with allo-transplantation and post-transplant TKIs.

AbstractDasatinib and nilotinib are potent tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) with activity against many imatinib-resistant chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) clones with BCR-ABL kinase domain (KD) mutations, except T315I. We assessed for changes in the BCR-ABL KD mutation status in 112 patients with persistent CML who received a second-generation TKI after imatinib failure. Sixty-seven different KD mutations were detected before the start of therapy with a second TKI, with T315I seen in 15%. Equal numbers of patients received nilotinib or dasatinib following imatinib, and 18 received 3 TKIs. Response rates were similar for patients with and without mutations, regardless of mutation site except for T315I. Overall, 29 patients (26%) developed new KD mutations after therapy with a second (n = 24) or third (n = 5) TKI, but only 4 (4%) developed T315I. In 73% of cases, the KD mutations that persisted or developed following switch to new TKI were at sites also found in prior in vitro TKI mutagenesis assays. Although there is only a mild increase in mutation frequency with sequential TKI treatment, novel mutations do occur and mutation regression/acquisition/persistence generally reflects the in vitro differential sensitivity predicted for each TKI. In this study, there was no marked increase in development of T315I.

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.

Xanthine Oxidoreductase

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.

Gastrointestinal Adverse Events

Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are the frontline therapy for BCR-ABL (Ph+) chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). A systematic meta-analysis of 43 peer-reviewed studies with 10,769 CML patients compared the incidence of gastrointestinal adverse events (GI AEs) in a large heterogeneous CML population as a function of TKI type. Incidence and severity of nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea were assessed for imatinib, dasatinib, bosutinib, and nilotinib. Examination of combined TKI average GI AE incidence found diarrhea most prevalent (22.5%), followed by nausea (20.6%), and vomiting (12.9%). Other TKI GI AEs included constipation (9.2%), abdominal pain (7.6%), gastrointestinal hemorrhage (3.5%), and pancreatitis (2.2%). Mean GI AE incidence was significantly different between TKIs (p < 0.001): bosutinib (52.9%), imatinib (24.2%), dasatinib (20.4%), and nilotinib (9.1%). Diarrhea was the most prevalent GI AE with bosutinib (79.2%) and dasatinib (28.1%), whereas nausea was most prevalent with imatinib (33.0%) and nilotinib (13.2%). Incidence of grade 3 or 4 severe GI AEs was ≤3% except severe diarrhea with bosutinib (9.5%). Unsupervised clustering revealed treatment efficacy measured by the complete cytogenetic response, major molecular response, and overall survival is driven most by disease severity, not TKI type. For patients with chronic phase CML without resistance, optimal TKI selection should consider TKI AE profile, comorbidities, and lifestyle.
