Ikaros and CK2 regulate expression of Bcl-xL and chemosensitivity in high-risk B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia


ABSTRACT: High-risk B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) is an aggressive disease, often characterized by resistance to chemotherapy. A frequent feature of high-risk B-ALL is loss of function of the Ikaros tumor suppressor. In leukemia, Ikaros’ function is impaired by oncogenic Casein Kinase II (CK2), which is overexpressed in B-ALL. Phosphorylation by CK2 reduces Ikaros binding to the promoter of its target gene, particularly Bcl-xL. This results in a loss of Ikaros-mediated repression of Bcl-xL and in increased expression of Bcl-xL. Increased expression of Bcl-xL and/or CK2, as well as reduced Ikaros expression, are associated with resistance to doxorubicin treatment. Molecular and pharmacological inhibition of CK2 with a specific inhibitor CX-4945, enhances Ikaros-mediated repression of Bcl-xL and increases sensitivity to doxorubicin. Combination treatment with CX-4945 and doxorubicin show synergistic therapeutic effects in vitro and in preclinical models of high-risk B-ALL. Results reveal a novel signaling network that regulates chemoresistance in leukemia and lays the groundwork for clinical testing of CK2 inhibitors in combination with doxorubicin for the treatment of hematopoietic malignancies.
