The bioengineered HALOA complex induces anoikis in chronic myeloid leukemia cells by targeting the BCR-ABL/Notch/Ikaros/Redox/Inflammation axis.

ABSTRACT: Blast crisis (BC) is an outcome that arises during the treatment process of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), which is possibly attained by the dysregulation of the Notch and Ikaros signaling pathways, BCR-ABL translocation, redox, and inflammatory factors. This study demonstrated that biotherapeutic agents target aberrant molecular axis in CML-BC cells. The HALOA complex was synthesized by simple mixing of apo α-lactalbumin with oleic acid, which manages to inhibit BCR-ABL (b3a2 in K562 cells) translocation. It elevates the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), reactive nitrogen species (RNS), and protein carbonyl, which induces DNA fragmentation in K562 cells but not in NIH cells. The complex manages to reduce the toxicity surrounding apoptotic cells by enhancing the production of s
