Retinoic acid and arsenic trioxide trigger degradation of mutated NPM1, resulting in apoptosis of AML cells.

چکیده
Nucleophosmin-1 (NPM1) is the most frequently mutated gene in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Addition of retinoic acid (RA) to chemotherapy was proposed to improve survival of some of these patients. Here, we found that RA or arsenic trioxide synergistically induce proteasomal degradation of mutant NPM1 in AML cell lines or primary samples, leading to differentiation and apoptosis. NPM1 mutation not only delocalizes NPM1 from the nucleolus, but it also disorganizes promyelocytic leukemia (PML) nuclear bodies. Combined RA/arsenic treatment significantly reduced bone marrow blasts in 3 patients and restored the subnuclear localization of both NPM1 and PML. These findings could explain the proposed benefit of adding RA to chemotherapy in NPM1 mutant AMLs, and warrant a broader clinical evaluation of regimen comprising a RA/arsenic combination.

Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is a sub-type of acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) which occurs in about 10-15% of patients with AML. Approximately 20-30% of these patients, who are treated with the current standard All trans retinoic Acid(ATRA) and anthracyclines-based chemotherapy regimen, suffer relapse in less than a year. Arsenic trioxide (ATO), as a single agent, can induce ...
متن کاملCombined arsenic and retinoic acid treatment enhances differentiation and apoptosis in arsenic-resistant NB4 cells.
In the acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) cell line NB4, as well as in APL patients' cells, arsenic trioxide (As2O3) leads to incomplete cell maturation, induction of apoptosis, as well as to the degradation of the oncogenic PML/RARalpha fusion protein. We have isolated an arsenic-resistant NB4 subline (NB4-AsR), which fails to undergo apoptosis, but maintains the partial differentiation respon...

Translation initiation and activity of eukaryotic initiation factor-alpha (eIF2α), the rate-limiting step of translation initiation, is often overactivated in malignant cells. Here, we investigated the regulation and role of eIF2α in acute promyelocytic (APL) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells in response to all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) and arsenic trioxide (ATO), the front-line therapies...

Human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I)–associated adult T-cell leukemia/ lymphoma (ATL) is a malignancy of mature activated T cells resistant to conventional chemotherapy. The viral transactivator protein Tax plays a critical role in HTLV-I– induced transformation and apoptosis resistance by inducing IkB-a degradation, resulting in the activation of the NF-kBpathway. In these HTLV-I–tr...
متن کاملMethylated metabolites of arsenic trioxide are more potent than arsenic trioxide as apoptotic but not differentiation inducers in leukemia and lymphoma cells.
Treatment with arsenic trioxide (As(2)O(3)) by inducing apoptosis and partial differentiation of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) cells results in clinical remission in APL patients resistant to chemotherapy and all-trans-retinoic acid. As(2)O(3) (iAs(III)) is methylated in the liver to mono- and dimethylated metabolites, including methylarsonic acid, methylarsonous acid, dimethylarsinic acid...
