Inhibition of proteolytic and ATPase activities of the proteasome by the BTK inhibitor CGI-1746.

ABSTRACT: Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor, ibrutinib, has been shown to synergize in vitro with proteasome inhibitors (PIs) in reducing the viability of cells derived from B cell malignancies, but the mechanism is not known. We report here that an off-target effect of ibrutinib causes synergy because not all BTK inhibitors exhibited the synergistic effect, and those that synergized did so even in cells that do not express BTK. The allosteric BTK inhibitor CGI-1746 showed the strongest synergy. Co-treatment of cells with CGI-1746 increased PI-induced accumulation of ubiquitin conjugates and expression of heat shock proteins and NOXA and decreased a ratio of reduced to oxidized glutathione. CGI-1746, but not other BTK inhibitors, inhibited ATPase activity and all three peptidase activi
