The in vitro effect of sintamil, as a modulator alone and in combination with hydroxyurea (HU), on cytotoxicity was studied in 16 cases of human chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). We investigated the cytotoxicity of the drugs as a function of the exposure dose (HU, 10−4 M; sintamil, 10 μg/ml) and the exposure time (1 h) to the agent. Cytotoxicity was evaluated as the inhibition of incorporation of [3H-methyl]thymidine in the nucleic acids of CML cells. Cytotoxicity of HU was greatly enhanced (P < 0.001) by 1 h exposure of the CML cells to sintamil. The present data indicate that sintamil potentiates the cytotoxic activity of HU in CML cells.

Abstract Abstract 110 [Background] Despite the excellent efficacy of imatinib for the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), trough imatinib plasma levels can vary widely among patients. This may be due, in part, to inter-individual variation in imatinib metabolism and drug transport efficacy. To investigate the role of genetic variation in the pharmacokinetics of imatinib, we analyzed common single nucleotide polymorphisms within important imatinib pathway genes including ABCG2 (BCRP), ABCB1 (MDR1), ABCC2 (MRP2), CYP3A5, and SLC22A1 (OCT1) in 67 CML patients treated with imatinib. In addition, trough imatinib plasma levels were determined using high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. [Results] Distinct imatinib pharmacokinetics were identified in association with ABCG2 c.421C&gt;A (p.Q141K; rs2231142) genotype. Specifically, the presence of the variant c.421A allele was significantly (p=0.024) associated with higher imatinib concentrations [median Cmin/Dose 2.70 (range: 1.50-8.30) ng/ml/mg; n=25] compared to patients with the wild-type ABCG2 (c.421C/C) genotype [median Cmin/Dose 2.27 (range: 0.37-5.30) ng/ml/mg; n=42]. ABCG2 is an efflux transporter for many xenobiotics, including imatinib, and is expressed at high levels in the human liver. Previous studies indicate that c.421A causes a 40% reduction in imatinib transport in vitro when compared to the wild-type genotype. Our data suggest that CML patients with ABCG2 c.421A allele may have deficient ABCG2 activity in vivo, resulting in reduced hepatic excretion of imatinib. Of note, although less common among Africans and individuals of European decent, the ABCG2 c.421C&gt;A allele occurs at a high frequency in the Japanese (0.311) and Han Chinese (0.289) populations. [Conclusion] The association of ABCG2 c.421C&gt;A with imatinib pharmacokinetics may explain why some Japanese CML patients administered less than 400 mg/day of imatinib have clinically sufficient trough imatinib plasma levels. Prospective studies are warranted to confirm the association between ABCG2 genotype and imatinib pharmacokinetics in large patient populations.

Abstract Abstract 3391 Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is caused by a defined genetic abnormality that generates BCR-ABL, a constitutively active tyrosine kinase. Although the development of imatinib, a small molecule inhibitor of ABL, represents a breakthrough in the treatment of CML, major part of patients treated in chronic phase CML are not off therapy due to resistance or intolerance. Recent studies have suggested that imatinib is a potent inhibitor against differentiated leukemia cells, but does not deplete leukemia-initiating cells (LICs) responsible for recurrence of CML. To date, therapeutics that can eradicate CML LICs, however, have remained under investigation. To overcome these clinical problems, here we studied the molecular mechanisms regulating maintenance of imatinib-resistant CML LICs by forkhead transcription factor Foxo3a. We first generated a mouse CML model by using retroviral induction of BCR-ABL-ires-GFP gene into mouse immature hematopoietic cells, and the cells were subsequently transplanted into irradiated recipient mice. These experiments showed that CML LICs were highly enriched in c-Kit+Lin−Sca-1+ (KLS+) population in BCR-ABL+ CML cells. Serial transplantation experiments for CML LICs originated from Foxo3a-deficient mice and littermate wild-type mice indicated that Foxo3a-deficiency reduced lethality of recipient mice at third transplantation. Although recipients that transplanted with wild-type LICs developed CML and acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) at third transplantation, we did not observe development of ALL or CML in recipients of Foxo3a deficient LICs after 45 days post-third transplantation, suggesting that the Foxo3a deficient LICs lose their potential to generate malignancies. In addition, a combination of Foxo3a deficiency and imatinib treatment led to efficient depletion of CML in vivo, indicating that Foxo3a plays an essential role for the maintenance of imatinib-resistant CML LICs (Naka et al., Nature 463, 676–680, 2010). Interestingly, when we examined sub-cellular localization of Foxo3a transcription factor in the CML LICs, we found two CML LIC populations; one population was the cells with nuclear localization of Foxo3a (Foxo3a transcription factor is active) and the other population was the cells with cytoplasmic localization of Foxo3a (Foxo3a is inactive). To understand the molecular mechanisms regulating Foxo3a in CML LICs, we next evaluated the activity of upstream BCR-ABL, PI3K, PDK1, and Akt signaling pathway by fluorescence immunohistochemistry. BCR-ABL activity that was determined by phosphorylation levels of CrkL, a down-stream target of BCR-ABL, was detected in almost all of the CML LICs. However, unexpectedly, phosphorylation levels of Akt in the CML LICs with nuclear localization of Foxo3a appeared to be lower than that in the CML LICs with cytoplasmic localization of Foxo3a, despite it is widely believed that BCR-ABL induces activation of Akt signal. Consistent with Akt phosphorylation status, we detected low levels phosphorylation of PDK1 and PI3K p85, upstream regulators for Akt, in the CML LICs with nuclear localization of Foxo3a. Interestingly, expression levels of the cell proliferation antigen Ki67 were lower in the CML LICs with nuclear Foxo3a than that in the CML LICs with cytoplasmic Foxo3a. These results suggest that Foxo3a responsible for maintenance of imatinib-resistant CML LICs may be regulated by molecular mechanisms that are involved in dormancy in CML LICs.

Abstract Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a hematopoietic stem cell disorder that occurs because of t(9;22)(q34;q11) translocations. The prognosis in CML improved markedly after introduction of abl tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI), still a lot of CML patients die due to abl mutation related drug resistance and the blast crisis, moreover, de novo or secondary TKI-resistance is a significant problem in CML. The aim of the study is to down-regulate the PPP2R5C gene expression in imatinib-sensitive or imatinib-resistant chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) cell lines: K562, K562R (imatinib resistance without abl gene mutation), 32D-Bcr-Abl WT (imatinib sensitive, murine CML cell lines with wild type abl gene) and 32D-Bcr-Abl T315I (imatinib resistance, with abl gene T315I mutation) and primary cells from CML patients by RNA interference, thereby inhibit the CML cells proliferation and induce apoptosis. PPP2R5C-siRNAs numbered 799 or 991 were obtained by chemosynthesis. Non-silencing siRNA control (SC)-treated, mock-transfected, untreated cells were used as controls. PPP2R5C expression in mRNA levels from CML cells were analyzed after siRNAs delivered by nucleofection using the real-time quantitative PCR. The PPP2R5C protein levels were analyzed by Western blotting. Cell proliferation in vitro was assayed by the cell count kit-8 method after treatment. The morphology and the percentage of apoptosis were revealed by Hoechst 33258 stain and flow cytometry (FCM). Bone marrow mononuclear cells (BM-MNCs) from healthy individuals were transferred by PPP2R5C-siRNA-991. BFU-E, CFU-Meg and CFU-GM were performed from PPP2R5C-siRNA-991 treated BM-MNCs by methyl cellulose semi-solid culturing method, to estimate the role of differentiation and proliferation in BM-MNCs after PPP2R5C-siRNA transfection. The results showed that both PPP2R5C-siRNA-799 and PPP2R5C-siRNA-991 took best silencing results after nucleofection in all of four cells and primary cells from CML patients. The reduction about 2 to 7 folds in PPP2R5C mRNA level was observed in PPP2R5C-siRNA799 or PPP2R5C-siRNA991 treated cells. And PPP2R5C protein expression inhibition rate reached 38.08%-55.26% at 48 or 72 h after treatment. The proliferation rates of PPP2R5C-siRNA-799 or 991 treated CML cells were significantly decreased at 72 h (P < 0.05). PPP2R5C-siRNA-799 or 991 treated CML cells lines showed a significantly increase in AnnexinV/PI-positive cells (apoptosis) (P < 0.05), similar results in the morphological changes of apoptosis were found by Hoechst 33258 staining test. PPP2R5C gene mRNA expression levels in BM-MNCs from healthy individuals were significantly lower than that in K562 cells (P < 0.05), and the expression level was not significant changed after PPP2R5C-siRNA-991 transfection. The formation of BFU-E, CFU-Meg and CFU-GM from BM-MNCs showed no significant difference between PPP2R5C-siRNA-991 treatment and MOCK control group (P > 0.05). In conclusions, suppression of PPP2R5C by RNA interference could inhibit the proliferation and induce the apoptosis effectively in CML cells either in imatinib sensitive or imatinib resistance cell lines, while no significant effect of PPP2R5C-siRNA on the proliferation and differentiation of BM-MNCs in vitro, suggesting that PPP2R5C-siRNA might specially target on the CML cells. Down-regulating the PPP2R5C gene expression might be considered as a new target therapeutic strategy in CML, especially in imatinib-resistant CML.
