A pyridinesulfonamide derivative FD268 suppresses cell proliferation and induces apoptosis via inhibiting PI3K pathway in acute myeloid leukemia.

ABSTRACT: Aberration of PI3K signaling pathway has been confirmed to be associated with several hematological malignancies including acute myeloid leukemia (AML). FD268, a pyridinesulfonamide derivative characterized by the conjugation of 7-azaindole group, is a newly identified PI3K inhibitor showing high potent enzyme activity at nanomole concentration. In this study, we demonstrated that FD268 dose-dependently inhibits survival of AML cells with the efficacy superior to that of PI-103 (pan-PI3K inhibitor) and CAL-101 (selective PI3Kδ inhibitor) in the tested HL-60, MOLM-16, Mv-4-11, EOL-1 and KG-1 cell lines. Further mechanistic studies focused on HL-60 revealed that FD268 significantly inhibits the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway, promotes the activation of pro-apoptotic protein Bad and downregulates the expression of anti-apoptotic protein Mcl-1, thus suppressing the cell proliferation and inducing caspase-3-dependent apoptosis. The bioinformatics analysis of the transcriptome sequencing data also indicated a potential involvement of the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway. These studies indicated that FD268 possesses high potent activity toward AML cells via inhibition of PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway, which sheds some light on the pyridinesulfonamide scaffold for further optimization and investigation.

Project description:As immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) continue to advance, more evidence has emerged that anti-PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapy is an effective treatment against cancers. Known as the programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1), this co-inhibitory ligand contributes to T cell exhaustion by interacting with programmed death-1 (PD-1) receptor. However, cancer-intrinsic signaling pathways of the PD-L1 molecule are not well elucidated. Therefore, the present study aimed to evaluate the regulatory network of PD-L1 and lay the basis of successful use of anti-PD-L1 immunotherapy in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Data for AML patients were extracted from TCGA and GTEx databases. The downstream signaling pathways of PD-L1 were identified via Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis. The key PD-L1 related genes were selected by weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA), MCC algorithm and Molecular Complex Detection (MCODE). The CCK-8 assay was used to assess cell proliferation. Flow cytometry was used to determine cell apoptosis and cell cycle. Western blotting was used to identify the expression of the PI3K-AKT signaling pathway. PD-L1 was shown to be elevated in AML patients when compared with the control group, and high PD-L1 expression was associated with poor overall survival rate. The ECM-receptor interaction, as well as the PI3K-AKT signaling pathway, were important PD-L1 downstream pathways. All three analyses found eight genes (ITGA2B, ITGB3, COL6A5, COL6A6, PF4, NMU, AGTR1, F2RL3) to be significantly associated with PD-L1. Knockdown of PD-L1 inhibited AML cell proliferation, induced cell apoptosis and G2/M cell cycle arrest. Importantly, PD-L1 knockdown reduced the expression of PI3K and p-AKT, but PD-L1 overexpression increased their expression. The current study elucidates the main regulatory network and downstream targets of PD-L1 in AML, assisting in the understanding of the underlying mechanism of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapy and paving the way for clinical application of ICIs in AML.
