Activation of ERK and P38 by the Addition of Arsenic Trioxide in Flt3-ITD Cells

چکیده
Flt3-internal tandem duplications (Flt3-ITD) is a prevalent mutation in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). We recently reported arsenic trioxide (ATO) and Flt3 inhibition synergize to induce apoptosis in Flt3-ITD cells. However, the signaling effect of ATO in these cells has not been elucidated. Here, we demonstrate that the treatment of ATO potently induces the activation of extracellular regulated kinase (ERK)-mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK), and modestly activates p38-MAPK in BaF3-Flt3-ITD cells, among other major (PI3-kinase-Akt, c-jun N-terminal kinase [JNK]) signaling pathways examined. In contrast, in BaF3-Flt3-wild type (WT) cells, slight activation of p38, but none for others, was observed. As MAPK kinase (MEK), as well as p38 inhibition is reported to enhance ATO-induced apoptosis in AML and various hematological malignancies, our results suggest that Flt3 mutation status is important for the effect of these combinations.

Differences in growth promotion, drug response and intracellular protein trafficking of FLT3 mutants
Objective(s): Mutant forms FMS-like tyrosine kinase-3 (FLT3), are reported in 25% of childhood acute lymphoid leukemia (ALL) and 30% of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients. In this study, drug response, growth promoting, and protein trafficking of FLT3 wild-type was compared with two active mutants (Internal Tandem Duplication (ITD)) and D835Y. Materials and Methods:FLT3 was expressed on fact...

Background and Aims: Multiple myeloma is a malignant proliferation of plasma cells derived from a single clone. The tumor, its products and the host response lead to organ damages. Some factors that are responsible in its pathogenesis are recognized. As FMS like Tyrosine Kinase 3 receptor (FLT3) mutation has been proved as a determining factor in leukemic patients the goal of this study was to ...

FLT3 signals via the adapter protein Grb10 and overexpression of Grb10 leads to aberrant cell proliferation in acute myeloid leukemia.
The adaptor protein Grb10 plays important roles in mitogenic signaling. However, its roles in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) are predominantly unknown. Here we describe the role of Grb10 in FLT3-ITD-mediated AML. We observed that Grb10 physically associates with FLT3 in response to FLT3-ligand (FL) stimulation through FLT3 phospho-tyrosine 572 and 793 residues and constitutively associates with o...
