Selective strong synergism of Ruxolitinib and second generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors to overcome bone marrow stroma related drug resistance in chronic myelogenous leukemia.

چکیده
The IC50 of TKIs is significantly increased when BCR-ABL+ K562 cell line is cultured in stroma conditioned media produced by BM mesenchymal cells. In particular, while the Imatinib IC50 in the stromal co-cultures was well above the in vivo through levels of the drug, the IC50s of second generation TKIs were still below their through levels. Moreover, we provide a formal comparison of the synergy between first and second generation TKIs with the JAK inhibitor Ruxolitinib to overcome BM stroma related TKI resistance. Taken together, our data provide a rationale for the therapeutic combination of TKIs and Ruxolitinib with the aim to eradicate primary BCR-ABL+ cells homed in BM niches.

Galectin-3 (Gal-3) induced by leukemia microenvironment promotes drug resistance and bone marrow lodgment in chronic myelogenous leukemia.
Bone marrow (BM) microenvironment (BMME) constitutes the sanctuary for leukemic cells. In this study, we investigated the molecular mechanisms for BMME-mediated drug resistance and BM lodgment in chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML). Gene-expression profile as well as signal pathway and protein analyses revealed that galectin-3 (Gal-3), a member of the β-gal-binding galectin family of proteins, w...
متن کاملSecondary mutations as mediators of resistance to targeted therapy in leukemia.
The advent of small molecule-based targeted therapy has improved the treatment of both acute and chronic leukemias. Resistance to small molecule inhibitors has emerged as a common theme. The most frequent mode of acquired resistance is the acquisition of point mutations in the kinase domain. FLT3 inhibitors have improved response rates in FLT3-mutated acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The occurrenc...
متن کاملPregnancy Outcome of Two Patients with Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia Treated with Imatinib
Although chronic myelogenous leukemia in pregnancy is rare, its management and treatment is more difficult and complicated.Treatment of patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia includes bone marrow transplantation, however in less than 30% of patients the donor’s organ would be accepted. To this end, cytotoxic therapy is considered as an alternative therapeutic option. This option provides sa...
متن کاملStat3 contributes to resistance toward BCR-ABL inhibitors in a bone marrow microenvironment model of drug resistance.
Imatinib mesylate is a potent, molecularly targeted therapy against the oncogenic tyrosine kinase BCR-ABL. Although imatinib mesylate has considerable efficacy against chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), advanced-stage CML patients frequently become refractory to this agent. The bone marrow is the predominant microenvironment of CML and is a rich source of both soluble factors and extracellular mat...
متن کاملUpdate on the management of Philadelphia chromosome positive chronic myelogenous leukemia: role of nilotinib
Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) is a pluripotent stem cell disease characterized by the presence of the Philadelphia chromosome and the bcr-abl gene. The discovery of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) revolutionized therapy for CML, such that durable response, increased overall survival, and increased progression-free survival of patients in chronic phase CML is now possible. Due to resistan...
