IAP and HDAC inhibitors interact synergistically in myeloma cells through noncanonical NF-κB- and caspase-8-dependent mechanisms.

ABSTRACT: Interactions between the inhibitor of apoptosis protein antagonist LCL161 and the histone deacetylase inhibitor panobinostat (LBH589) were examined in human multiple myeloma (MM) cells. LCL161 and panobinostat interacted synergistically to induce apoptosis in diverse MM cell lines, including those resistant to bortezomib (PS-R). Similar interactions were observed with other histone deacetylase inhibitors (MS-275) or inhibitors of apoptosis protein antagonists (birinapant). These events were associated with downregulation of the noncanonical (but not the canonical) NF-κB pathway and activation of the extrinsic, caspase-8-related apoptotic cascade. Coexposure of MM cells to LCL161/LBH589 induced TRAF3 upregulation and led to TRAF2 and NIK downregulation, diminished expression of BCL-XL, and
