PRAME induced inhibition of retinoic acid receptor signaling-mediated differentiation - a possible target for ATRA response in AML without t(15;17)

ABSTRACT: Purpose: In acute myeloid leukemia (AML) without retinoic acid receptor (RAR) rearrangement the effect of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) is still poorly understood despite an association of NPM1 mutation and ATRA response. Recently, PRAME (preferentially expressed antigen in melanoma) has been shown to be a dominant repressor of RAR-signaling. Experimental design: Thus, we further investigated ATRA response mechanisms, especially the impact of PRAME expression on ATRA-responsiveness by profiling gene expression in K562 cell lines. Results: Our data revealed a PRAME-expression associated gene pattern to be significantly enriched for genes involved in the retinoic acid metabolic process. In leukemia cell line models we could demonstrate that retinoic acid-regulated cell proliferation and
