At present, 20–30% of children with acute leukemia still relapse from current chemotherapy protocols, underscoring the unmet need for new treatment options, such as proteasome inhibition. Ixazomib (IXA) is an orally available proteasome inhibitor, with an improved safety profile compared to Bortezomib (BTZ). The mechanism of action (proteasome subunit inhibition, apoptosis induction) and growth inhibitory potential of IXA vs. BTZ were tested in vitro in human (BTZ-resistant) leukemia cell lines. Ex vivo activity of IXA vs. BTZ was analyzed in 15 acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and 9 acute myeloid leukemia (AML) primary pediatric patient samples. BTZ demonstrated more potent inhibitory effects on constitutive β5 and immunoproteasome β5i proteasome subunit activity; however, IXA more potently inhibited β1i subunit than BTZ (70% vs. 29% at 2.5 nM). In ALL/AML cell lines, IXA conveyed 50% growth inhibition at low nanomolar concentrations, but was ~10-fold less potent than BTZ. BTZ-resistant cells (150–160 fold) displayed similar (100-fold) cross-resistance to IXA. Finally, IXA and BTZ exhibited anti-leukemic effects for primary ex vivo ALL and AML cells; mean LC50 (nM) for IXA: 24 ± 11 and 30 ± 8, respectively, and mean LC50 for BTZ: 4.5 ± 1 and 11 ± 4, respectively. IXA has overlapping mechanisms of action with BTZ and showed anti-leukemic activity in primary leukemic cells, encouraging further pre-clinical in vivo evaluation.

Abstract Abstract 1513 Good response to glucocorticoids (GC) has favorable prognostic value for the survival of children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Hence, GC-resistant and relapsed ALL patients may benefit from GC-sensitization strategies. For this purpose, the reversible proteasome inhibitor (PI) Bortezomib (BTZ) is currently being evaluated in clinical trials in combination with Dexamethasone (DEX) and other drugs. Despite the encouraging results of BTZ in several hematological malignancies, emergence of resistance to BTZ may be a limiting factor to its efficacy. Therefore, the aim of our study was to examine the differential sensitivity of pediatric leukemia cells to BTZ and DEX, as compared to second generation PIs designed to overcome BTZ resistance. These include the epoxyketone-based irreversibly binding PIs Carfilzomib (CFZ), its orally bioavailable analog ONX 0912, and the immunoproteasome inhibitor ONX 0914. The drug concentration required for 50% cell death (LC50) was determined in pediatric patient samples (29 ALL and 12 AML) after 4 days drug exposure using the MTT cytotoxicity assay. Furthermore, the sensitivity to PIs was correlated with protein expression levels of the constitutive proteasome subunits beta5, beta1 and beta2, and the (immuno) proteasome subunits beta5i and beta1i. ALL cells were significantly more sensitive for BTZ than AML cells (median LC50: 6.0 nM vs 14.2 nM, respectively, p=0.002), and also markedly more sensitive to Dex (median LC50: 23.0 nM vs. >600 nM, p<0.001). Sensitivity profiles for the PIs CFZ, ONX 0912 and ONX 0914 are presented in Table 1. Collectively, ALL cells were significantly more sensitive than AML cells for all these 3 PIs with irreversible binding properties. LC50 concentrations for CFZ were comparable to those of BTZ. In descending order, ONX 0912 and ONX 0914 displayed lower potencies than BTZ/CFZ, but LC50 concentrations were still in the low nanomolar range.Table 1.Difference in in vitro sensitivity to proteasome inhibitors and proteasome subunit expression between pediatric ALL and AML patientsAcute Lymphoblastic LeukemiaAcute Myeloid LeukemiaANOVA p-valueNMedian LC50 (nM)RangeNMedian LC50 (nM)RangeDrugs    BTZ296.03.0–46.11114.210.1–61.00.002    CFZ274.10.08–8.71020.86.0–30.80.000    ONX 09122719.27.6–80.91093.755.7–3940.000    ONX 09142744.68.4–1171024889.2–6780.000    DEX2723.00.50–>60012600.0164–>6000.000Subunit expressionRatio*Ratio*    beta5280.760.00–30.0106.02.2–23.90.080    beta5i2762.58.5–3661055.010.6–3400.714    beta1282.40.00–28.11011.70.92–26.10.029    beta1i2835.15.42–1061017.77.2–49.50.032    beta2284.80.38–23.41020.47.4–39.10.000    beta2iN.D.N.D.N.D.N.D.N.D.N.D.N.D.N.D.: Not Determined. * Ratio proteasome subunit / β-actin based on loading of 15 ug total protein (Western blot analysis) For ALL, LC50 concentrations for CFZ and ONX 0912 were significantly correlated (r=0.449, p=0.019). Interestingly, for AML, a significant correlation was observed between BTZ and CFZ LC50 concentrations (r=0.900, p=0.001), suggestive for overlapping activities. Expression of constitutive proteasome subunits is higher in AML cells than ALL cells. Within ALL samples, constitutive proteasome subunit expression did not correlate with LC50 concentrations for each of the PIs. Within AML patients, however, beta 5 expression significantly correlated with BTZ LC50 (r=0.980, p<0.001). A trend towards a significant correlation was observed for BTZ LC50 and beta 1 (r=0.550, p=0.125) and beta 2 expression (r=0.500, p=0.17). Next, LC50 concentrations of CFZ correlated significantly with beta 5 (r=0.783, p=0.013) and beta 1 (r=0.817, p=0.007) expression. Finally, both in ALL and AML samples, no correlations were revealed for immunoproteasome subunits expression and LC50 concentrations for BTZ, CFZ, ONX 0912 and ONX 0914. In conclusion, ALL cells were more sensitive to PIs than AML, which may be due lower constitutive proteasome unit expression. Pediatric leukemia cells display marked sensitivity to BTZ and second generation PIs, but lack cross-resistance between BTZ and several second generation PIs. Together, for second generation PIs, these data may hold promise for circumvention of BTZ resistance and further exploration of efficacy assessments in combination with other drugs, in particular GCs.
