RAR-independent RXR signaling induces t(15;17) leukemia cell maturation.

چکیده
Although retinoic acid receptor alpha (RARalpha) agonists induce the maturation of t(15;17) acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) cells, drug treatment also selects leukemic blasts expressing PML-RARalpha fusion proteins with mutated ligand-binding domains that no longer respond to all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA). Here we report a novel RARalpha-independent signaling pathway that induces maturation of both ATRA-sensitive and ATRA-resistant APL NB4 cells, and does not invoke the ligand-induced alteration of PML-RARalpha signaling, stability or compartmentalization. This response involves a cross-talk between RXR agonists and protein kinase A signaling. Our results indicate the existence of a separate RXR-dependent maturation pathway that can be activated in the absence of known ligands for RXR heterodimerization partners.

A retinoid-resistant acute promyelocytic leukemia subclone expresses a dominant negative PML-RAR alpha mutation.
The unique t(15;17) of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) fuses the PML gene with the retinoic acid receptor alpha (RAR alpha) gene. Although retinoic acid (RA) inhibits cell growth and induces differentiation in human APL cells, resistance to RA develops both in vitro and in patients. We have developed RA-resistant subclones of the human APL cell line, NB4, whose nuclear extracts display alter...
متن کاملAutonomous rexinoid death signaling is suppressed by converging signaling pathways in immature leukemia cells.
On their own, retinoid X receptor (RXR)-selective ligands (rexinoids) are silent in retinoic acid receptor (RAR)-RXR heterodimers, and no selective rexinoid program has been described as yet in cellular systems. We report here on the rexinoid signaling capacity that triggers apoptosis of immature promyelocytic NB4 cells as a default pathway in the absence of survival factors. Rexinoid-induced a...
متن کاملAM580, a stable benzoic derivative of retinoic acid, has powerful and selective cyto-differentiating effects on acute promyelocytic leukemia cells.
All-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) is successfully used in the cyto-differentiating treatment of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). Paradoxically, APL cells express PML-RAR, an aberrant form of the retinoic acid receptor type alpha (RAR alpha) derived from the leukemia-specific t(15;17) chromosomal translocation. We show here that AM580, a stable retinobenzoic derivative originally synthesized as ...
متن کاملAcute promyelocytic leukemia: relieving repression induces remission.
RETINOIDS AND IN particular retinoic acid are naturally occurring compounds that regulate the growth and differentiation of a variety of different cell types. The observation that retinoic acid induces the terminal differentiation of human acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) cells both in vitro1 and in vivo2-4 has had a significant impact in clinical hematology and has altered our approach to th...
متن کاملInsulin-like growth factor binding protein-3 antagonizes the effects of retinoids in myeloid leukemia cells.
Insulin-like growth factor binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) can cause growth suppressive and proapoptotic effects on retinoids in many types of cancer cells. However, the expression and effects of IGFBP-3 in myeloid leukemia cells have not been elucidated. In this study, we found no IGFBP-3 expression in the human myeloid leukemia cell lines either at baseline or after stimulation with all-trans ret...
