Abstract Introduction. Within the group of core binding factor (CBF) AML, the presence of the t(8;21)(q22;q22) confers a favorable prognosis based on high complete remission rates and high survival probabilities. However within this subgroup the presence of KIT mutations and in some studies specifically mutations at codon 816 in exon 17 have been associated with inferior event free survival, relapse free survival, cumulative incidence of relapse and overall survival. Dasatinib a dual SRC/ABL kinase inhibitor is an active agent already approved for the treatment of imatinib resistant or intolerant chronic myelogenous leukemia which has shown in vitro activity against KIT exon 17 mutations including the D816 imatinib resistant mutation. The aim of the present study was the investigation of the activity of dasatinib on cell proliferation and apoptosis of leukemic cell lines with or without KIT mutations. Materials and methods. The leukemic cell lines ME-1, NB4 and KASUMI were cultured in RPMI. Following RNA extraction RT-PCR was performed for the amplification of the extracellular (exon 8,9), transmembrane/juxtamembrane (exon 10,11) and tyrosine kinase 2 domains (exon 17,18) of c-Kit.Following sequencing only the KASUMI cell line derived from a t(8;21)(q22;q22) AML was found to bear the N822K KIT mutation at exon 17, also described in patients’samples. The KASUMI, the K562 cell line bearing the t(9;22) used as a positive control and the NB4 cell line without KIT mutations used as a negative control, were subsequently cultured under the presence of dasatinib at the concentrations of 1nM, 10nM, 100nM, 500 nM. Cell proliferation, was determined at 24, 48, 72 h using the Cell Proliferation Elisa, BrDU protocol and apoptosis was determined by the method of annexin using flow cytometry at the same time points. Results The BrDU value of K562 cells at 48h without the drug was 1.046 significantly higher compared to those of cells cultured under the presence of Dasatinib at 1nM, 10nM, 100nM, 500 nM (0.6485, 0,5647, 0,4770, 0.4755 respectively) (p<0.001). Similarly the BrDU value of K562 cells without the drug at 72h was 1.320 significantly higher to those under the presence of the drug at 10, 100, 500 nM (0.8137, 0.7292, 0.6637 respectively) (p<0.001). The level of apoptosis was significantly induced by the drug at all concentrations at 24h(p<0.001) and at the concentrations of 10nM, 100nM, 500 nM at 48h (p<0.001) but not at 72h.Ôhere was no effect of the drug on the proliferation and apoptosis of the NB4 cell line. In the KASUMI cells there was a significant reduction of the BrDU values by the presence of dasatinib at the concentrations of 10nM, 100nM, 500nM at 48h (0.9517 vs 0.6462, 0.5653, 0.3467, p=0.038, 0.011, 0.002 respectively). The same was true at the concentrations of 100nM and 500nM at 72h (0.9538 vs 0.2412, 0.1907, p=0.002, 0.004 respectively). Dasatinib significantly increased the level of apoptosis of the KASUMI cells at 24h at 1nM, 10nM, 100nM (2.45 vs 1.41, 1.71, 2.18, p<0.001, <0.001, 0.026 respectively) At 48h dasatinib significantly increased the level of apoptosis at the concentrations of 1nM, 10nM, 100nM (0.84vs 1.03, 1.49, 2.81, p=0.02, p<0.001, p<0.001 respectively). At 72h there was a significant induction of apoptosis by the drug at all concentrations (0.16 vs 1.11, 1.94, 2.93, 1.88 p<0.001) Conclusion. Dasatinib is an effective suppressor of proliferation and inducer of apoptosis of the KASUMI cell line with the t(8;21)(q22;q22) and the N822K KIT mutation. These encouraging results need to be confirmed on patients’ cells with the view to integrate the drug in conventional chemotherapy regimens in future clinical trials.

Abstract The factor-independent Dami/HEL and Meg-01 and factor-dependent Mo7e leukemic cell lines were used as models to investigate JAK/STAT signal transduction pathways in leukemic cell proliferation. Although Dami/HEL and Meg-01 cell proliferation in vitro was independent of and unresponsive to exogenous cytokines including granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), interleukin-3 (IL-3), IL-6, thrombopoietin (TPO), and tumor necrosis factor- (TNF-), the growth of Mo7e cells was dependent on hematopoietic growth factors. When these cell lines were cultured in medium without cytokines, a constitutively activated STAT-like DNA-binding factor was detected in nuclear extracts from both Dami/HEL and Meg-01 cells. However, the STAT-like factor was not detectable in untreated Mo7e cells, but was activated transiently in Mo7e cells in response to cytokine treatments. The constitutively activated and cytokine-induced STAT-like DNA-binding factor in these three cell lines was identified as STAT5 by oligonucleotide competition gel mobility assays and by specific anti-STAT antibody gel supershift assays. Constitutive activation of JAK2 also was detected in the factor-independent cell lines, but not in Mo7e cells without cytokine exposure. Meg-01 cells express a p185 BCR/ABL oncogene, which may be responsible for the constitutive activation of STAT5. Dami/HEL cells do not express the BCR/ABL oncogene, but increased constitutive phosphorylation of Raf-1 oncoprotein was detected. In cytokine bioassays using growth factor-dependent Mo7e and TF-1 cells as targets, conditioned media from Dami/HEL and Meg-01 cells did not show stimulatory effects on cell proliferation. Our results indicate that the constitutive activation of JAK2/STAT5 correlates with the factor-independent growth of Dami/HEL and Meg-01 cells. The constitutive activation of JAK2/STAT5 in Dami/HEL cells is triggered by a mechanism other than autocrine cytokines or the BCR/ABL oncoprotein.

16504 The expression of Wilm‘s tumor gene-1 (wt1) and bcl-2 is considered to have a proliferating and survival supporting effect in leukemia blast cells. The downregulation of wt1 by means of antisense-oligonucleotides and ribozymes revealed an inhibition of cell proliferation and induction of cell death. Here we describe the effect of siRNA against wt1 and bcl-2 in leukemic cell lines. RT-PCR and western blot analyses were performed to examine wt1 and bcl-2 gene expression in transfected leukemia cell lines. Apoptosis was detected with FACS analysis. K562 and HL-60 cell lines transfected with wt1 siRNA showed decreasing levels of wt1 mRNA and protein expression after 24 and 48 hours. The cell proliferation was reduced between 45% and 76% 48 hours after transfection, and apoptosis increased from 6.6 % in control cells to 12.2 % 24 hours after transfection in transfected cells. 48 hours after transfection the amount of apoptotic cells increased up to 45 % in transfected cells. Bcl-2 siRNA only induced apoptosis in about 15% of the cells. The combination of wt1 and bcl-2 siRNA had no additive effect on the induction of apoptosis. The expression of wt1 seems to be more important for cell survival than expression of the anti-apoptotic gene bcl-2. We therefore consider siRNA targeting human wt1 as possible tool against leukemic cells overexpressing wt1. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

We have examined the effect of BCR/ABL junctional antisense phosphodiester oligodeoxyribonucleotides (ODNs) on BV173 and other chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) cell lines. Various control ODNs were used to understand the mechanism of the observed antiproliferative effect. Not only the antisense ODNs but also several control ODNs inhibit the proliferation of the leukemic cell lines. All the ODNs that inhibit the cell proliferation share a TAT consensus sequence at their 3′ end. A 1-base mismatch within this consensus sequence abolishes the antiproliferative effect. Mismatches of several bases at any other position within the sequence of the active ODNs do not suppress the observed effect. Similar experiments on normal or CML CD34+ cell fraction led to the same observations. We conclude that the antiproliferative effect of the phosphodiester BCR/ABL antisense ODNs cannot be attributed to an antisense mechanism but rather to a nonelucidated effect of a 3′ terminal TAT sequence. This effect is not CML specific.

Background: At present, ‘pharmaco-epigenomics’ constitutes the hope in cancer treatment owing to epigenetic deregulation- a reversible process and playing a role in malignancy. Objective: Chemotherapy has many limitations like host-tissue toxicity, drug resistance. Hence, it is imperative to unearth targets to better treat cancer. Here, we intend to repurpose a set of our previously synthesized difluorinated Propanediones (PR) as Histone lysine Methyltransferase inhibitors (HMTi). Methods: The cell lines of leukemic origin viz. histiocytic lymphoma (U937) and acute T-cell leukemia (JURKAT) were treated with PR-1 to 7 after docking studies with active pocket of HMT. The cell cycle analysis, in vitro methylation and cell proliferation assays were carried out to delineate their physiological role. Results: A small molecule PR-4, at 1 and 10µM, has shown to alter the methylation of histone H3 and H4 in both cell lines. Also, treatment shows an increase in G2/M population and a subsequent decrease in the G0/G1 population in U937. In JURKAT, an increase in both G2/M and S phase population was observed. The sub-G1 population showed a steady rise with increase in dose and prolonged time intervals in U937 and JURKAT cell lines. In SRB assay, the PR showed a cell growth of 42.6 and 53.4% comparable to adriamycin; 44.5 and 53.2% in U937 and JURKAT, respectively. The study suggests that PR-4 could emerge as a potential HMT inhibitor. Conclusion: The molecule PR-4 could be a lead in developing more histone lysine methyltransferases inhibitors with potential to be pro-apoptotic agents.

The structures of the compounds were determined by means of spectroscopic methods (1D and 2D NMR, UV, IR) and HRMS-ESI. The compounds were tested for cytotoxicity on three leukemic cell lines (BV-173, SKW-3, HL-60). In addition, the saponins showed moderate stimulatory effects on interleukin-2 production in PHA/PMA stimulated Jurkat E6.1 cells.

HDGF-related protein 2 (HRP-2) is a member of the Hepatoma-Derived Growth Factor-related protein family that harbors the structured PWWP and Integrase Binding Domain, known to associate with methylated histone tails or cellular and viral proteins, respectively. Interestingly, HRP-2 is a paralog of Lens Epithelium Derived Growth Factor p75 (LEDGF/p75), which is essential for MLL-rearranged (MLL-r) leukemia but dispensable for hematopoiesis. Sequel to these findings, we investigated the role of HRP-2 in hematopoiesis and MLL-r leukemia. Protein interactions were investigated by co-immunoprecipitation and validated using recombinant proteins in NMR. A systemic knockout mouse model was used to study normal hematopoiesis and MLL-ENL transformation upon the different HRP-2 genotypes. The role of HRP-2 in MLL-r and other leukemic, human cell lines was evaluated by lentiviral-mediated miRNA targeting HRP-2. We demonstrate that MLL and HRP-2 interact through a conserved interface, although this interaction proved less dependent on menin than the MLL-LEDGF/p75 interaction. The systemic HRP-2 knockout mice only revealed an increase in neutrophils in the peripheral blood, whereas the depletion of HRP-2 in leukemic cell lines and transformed primary murine cells resulted in reduced colony formation independently of MLL-rearrangements. In contrast, primary murine HRP-2 knockout cells were efficiently transformed by the MLL-ENL fusion, indicating that HRP-2, unlike LEDGF/p75, is dispensable for the transformation of MLL-ENL leukemogenesis but important for leukemic cell survival.
