چکیده
PURPOSE Lysophosphatidic acid acyltransferase (LPAAT)-beta catalyzes the conversion of lysophosphatidic acid to phosphatidic acid, an essential component of several signaling pathways, including the Ras/mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway. Inhibition of LPAAT-beta induces growth arrest and apoptosis in cancer cell lines, implicating LPAAT-beta as a potential drug target in neoplasia. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN In this study, we investigated the effects of CT32228, a specific LPAAT-beta inhibitor, on BCR-ABL-transformed cell lines and primary cells from patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia. RESULTS CT32228 had antiproliferative activity against BCR-ABL-positive cell lines in the nanomolar dose range, evidenced by cell cycle arrest in G2-M and induction of apoptosis. Treatment of K562 cells with CT32228 led to inhibition of extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 phosphorylation, consistent with inhibition of mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling. Importantly, CT32228 was highly active in cell lines resistant to the Bcr-Abl kinase inhibitor imatinib. Combination of CT32228 with imatinib produced additive inhibition of proliferation in cell lines with residual sensitivity toward imatinib. In short-term cultures in the absence of growth factors, CT32228 preferentially inhibited the growth of granulocyte-macrophage colony-forming units from chronic myelogenous leukemia patients compared with healthy controls. CONCLUSION These data establish LPAAT-beta as a potential drug target for the treatment of BCR-ABL-positive leukemias.

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...

We evaluated the effect of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) protease inhibitor saquinavir on the imatinib-sensitive and imatinib-resistant chronic myelogenous leukemia cell lines. Saquinavir, which is also a proteasome blocker, showed dose- and time-related anti-proliferative activity, particularly on the imatinib-resistant lines and a pro-apoptotic effect. Association with imatinib cause...

Background: Chronic myeloid leukemia is a clonal myeloproliferative disease which is characterized by bcr/abl translocation. With the emergence of tyrosine kinase inhibitors such as imatinib mesylate, significant improvement has been made in treatment of this disease. However, drug resistance against this medicine is still an obstacle. SIRT1 is a gene with deacetylase activity which has been de...

Bcr-Abl-independent signaling pathways are known to be involved in imatinib resistance in some patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML). In this study, to find new targets for imatinib-resistant CML displaying loss of Bcr-Abl kinase target dependence, we isolated imatinib-resistant variants, K562/R1, K562/R2, and K562/R3, which showed profound declines of Bcr-Abl levels and its tyrosine...

Since the advent of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) such as imatinib, nilotinib, and dasatinib, chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) prognosis has improved greatly. However, ~30-40% of patients develop resistance to imatinib therapy. Although most resistance is caused by mutations in the BCR-ABL kinase domain, 50-85% of these patients develop resistance in the absence of new mutations. In these...
