Cyclosporine A Enhances the Efficacy of Venetoclax Against FLT3-ITD AML via the PI3K/AKT/mTOR Signaling Pathway

ABSTRACT: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with the Fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 internal tandem duplication (FLT3-ITD) mutation accounts for approximately 25-30% of cases and is associated with a poor prognosis, characterized by high relapse rates and significantly reduced overall survival. The use of single-agent venetoclax in FLT3-ITD AML has shown limited efficacy, with drug resistance frequently emerging. In this study, we demonstrate that cyclosporine A (CsA) sensitizes FLT3-ITD AML cells to venetoclax by inhibiting cell proliferation, promoting apoptosis, and disrupting mitochondrial function. Mechanistically, CsA enhances the anti-AML effects of venetoclax by inhibiting NFATC1 through the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway. These findings offer promising new therapeutic strategies for managing refractory and relapsed AML, providing a basis for future combination therapies targeting FLT3-ITD mutations.

Mitoxantrone-liposome sensitizes Flt3-ITD acute myeloid leukemia to gilteritinib treatment

Project description:FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) is the most frequently mutated gene in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), and is associated with a poor prognosis and high relapse rate. Gilteritinib, as a second-generation FLT3 inhibitor, is an important target drug in the treatment of FLT3-ITD AML patients, but it still faces the problems of drug resistance and reduced potency. In this study, we found that mitoxantrone-liposome can sensensitized gilteritinib and enhanced the therapeutic effect in vivo and in vitro. RNA-sequencing revealed that the combination treatment resulted in specific changes in gene expression, reduced drug resistance and the mechanism. Primary AML cells harvested from patients with FLT3-ITD AML showed a significant response to combination treatment in vitro. Our data suggest represents a novel and promising therapeutic strategy for FLT3-ITD AML patients and relapsed/refractory(R/R) AML.

Phosphoproteome Analysis Reveals Differential Mode of Action of Sorafenib in Wildtype and Mutated FLT3 AML Cells

Project description:Constitutively activating internal tandem duplication (ITD) alterations of the receptor tyrosine kinase FLT3 (Fms-like tyrosine kinase 3) are common in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and classifies FLT3 as an attractive therapeutic target. So far, application of FLT3 small molecule inhibitors such as Sorafenib has resulted only in partial and transient clinical responses in FLT3-ITD+ patients. Only recently, a prolonged event-free survival has been observed in AML patients who were treated with Sorafenib in addition to standard therapy. Here, we studied the Sorafenib effect on proliferation in a panel of 13 FLT3-ITD- and FLT3-ITD+ AML cell lines. Sorafenib IC50 values ranged from 0.001 to 5.6 µM, whereas FLT3-ITD+ cells (MOLM-13, MV4;11) were found more sensitive to Sorafenib than FLT3-ITD- cells. However, we identified two FLT3-ITD- cell lines (MONO-MAC-1 and OCI-AML-2) which were also Sorafenib sensitive. Phosphoproteome analyses revealed that the affected pathways differed in Sorafenib sensitive FLT3-ITD- and FLT3-ITD+ cells. In MV4;11 cells Sorafenib suppressed mTOR signalling by inhibiting direct inhibition of FLT3. In MONO-MAC-1 cells Sorafenib inhibited the MEK/ERK pathway by inhibition of the RET tyrosine kinase. These data suggest that the FLT3 status in AML patients might not be the only predictive factor for a response to Sorafenib.

FLT3 inhibition upregulates HDAC8 via FOXO to inactivate p53 and promote maintenance of FLT3-ITD+ acute myeloid leukemia

Project description:Internal tandem duplication (ITD) mutations within the FMS-like receptor tyrosine kinase-3 (FLT3) can be found in up to 25~30% of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients and confer a poor prognosis. Although FLT3 tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have shown clinical responses, the overall outcome of FLT3-ITD+ AML patients remains poor, and most of them would relapse very shortly. TKIs can not eliminate primitive FLT3-ITD+ AML cells, which are potential sources of relapse. Therefore, elucidating the mechanisms underlying FLT3-ITD+ AML maintenance and drug resistance is essential to develop novel, effective treatment strategies. Here, we demonstrate that FLT3 inhibition induces histone deacetylase 8 (HDAC8) upregulation through FOXO1 and FOXO3-mediated transactivation in FLT3-ITD+ AML cells. Upregulated HDAC8 deacetylates and inactivates p53, leading to leukemia maintenance and drug resistance upon TKIs treatment. Genetic or pharmacological inhibition of HDAC8 re-activates p53, abrogates leukemia maintenance and significantly enhances TKI-mediated elimination of FLT3-ITD+ AML cells. Importantly, in FLT3-ITD+ AML patient-derived xenograft models, the combination of FLT3 TKI (AC220) with a HDAC8 inhibitor (22d) significantly inhibits leukemia progression and effectively reduces primitive FLT3-ITD+ AML cells. Moreover, we extend these findings to an AML subtype harboring another tyrosine kinase activating mutation. In conclusion, our study demonstrates that HDAC8 upregulation as an important mechanism to resist TKIs and promote leukemia maintenance, and suggests that combining HDAC8 inhibition with TKI treatment could be a promising strategy to treat FLT3-ITD+ AML and other tyrosine kinase mutation-harboring leukemias.

Microenvironmental CXCL12 Deletion Enhances Flt3-ITD Acute Myeloid Leukemia Stem Cell Response to Therapy by Reducing p38 MAPK Signaling

Project description:Fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 (Flt3) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (Flt3-TKI) have improved outcomes for patients with Flt3-mutated acute myeloid leukemia (AML) but are limited by resistance and relapse, suggesting persistence of leukemia stem cells (LSC). Here we utilized a Flt3-internal tandem duplication (Flt3-ITD) and Tet2-deleted AML genetic mouse model to characterize Flt3-ITD AML LSC and their resistance to Flt3-TKI. We show that LSC were enriched within the primitive ST-HSC population. CXCl12-expressing osteoprogenitors were increased in the Flt3-ITD AML marrow and FLT3-ITD LSC showed increased expression of the CXCL12 receptor CXCR4. CXCL12 deletion from the microenvironment enhanced AML targeting by combined Flt3-TKI and chemotherapy treatment with enhanced LSC targeting. We found that both treatment and CXCL12 deletion partially reduced p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38) signaling with increased, but not complete, reduction seen with combined treatment and CXCL12 deletion. Our studies suggest that p38 contributes to CXCL12-mediated maintenance of AML LSC following Flt3-TKI and chemotherapy treatment, but that p38 inhibition enhances AML LSC response to treatment to a greater extent than CXCL12 deletion alone. This study supports a role for p38 signaling in CXCL12-mediated protection of AML LSC from treatment and provide a rationale for targeting p38 signaling to enhance Flt3-ITD AML targeting.

FLT3-ITD mutation expands dendritic cells and alters CD4+ T cells in acute myeloid leukemia

Project description:Fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) is a critical receptor for functional dendritic cell (DC) development. Mutations associated with FLT3 are commonly observed in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients. Internal tandem duplication (FLT3-ITD) results in ligand-independent constitutive signaling and promotes tumor survival. Basic characterization of dendritic cells in the context of AML is lacking, therefore we investigated how FLT3-ITD impacts DC homeostasis and what downstream affects on the immune system may be. During AML we found that patient bone marrow DC homesostasis is disrupted and in a mouse model of AML we found that T-bet- cDC2s are increased in vivo and both Treg and Th17 cells are increased. In vitro co-cultures of AML DCs and naive OT-II cells results in more Th17 phenotype by IL-17A secretion. We propose that in FLT3-ITD+ AML DC homeostasis is dysregulated and Th17 cells are increased as a result.

CircMYBL2 Regulates FLT3-ITD FLT3AML Translation in AML

Project description:CircMYBL2 is more highly expressed in AML patients with FLT3-ITD mutations than in those without the FLT3-ITD mutation. We found that circMYBL2 knockdown specifically inhibits proliferation and promotes the differentiation of FLT3-ITD AML cells in vitro and in vivo. We used the ribosome profiling and RNA-seq libraries sequenced with Illumina HiSeq 2500 to identify the mRNA that circMYBL2 targeted. Interestingly, we found that circMYBL2 significantly influences the protein level of mutant FLT3 kinase, which contributes to the activation of FLT3-ITD-dependent signaling pathways. Mechanistically, circMYBL2 enhanced the translational efficiency of FLT3 kinase by increasing the binding of PTBP1 to FLT3 mRNA. Moreover, circMYBL2 knockdown impaired the cytoactivity of inhibitor-resistant FLT3-ITD-positive cells, with a significant decrease in FLT3 kinase expression, followed by the inactivation of its downstream pathways. In summary, we are the first to reveal a circRNA that specifically influences FLT3-ITD AML and regulates FLT3 kinase levels through translational regulation, suggesting that circMYBL2 may be a potential therapeutic target for FLT3-ITD AML.

Subcellular proteomics of FLT3-ITD cells

Project description:In acute myeloid leukemia (AML), the insertion site of internal tandem duplications (ITDs) within the FLT3 gene critically determines the sensitivity to tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). Despite recent advances, patients harboring ITDs in the tyrosine kinase domain (TKD) still lack effective therapeutic options. To elucidate the molecular basis underlying the differential TKI sensitivity of FLT3-ITD cells, we integrated high-resolution mass spectrometry–based (phospho)proteomics with subcellular fractionation. Our analysis revealed that midostaurin induces the subcellular redistribution of approximately 2500 proteins involved in crucial biological processes, including cell cycle control, autophagy, and metabolism. Functional analyses further demonstrated that the ITD insertion site determines the autophagy response to midostaurin and modulates mitochondrial metabolism, influencing organelle architecture and ATP production, even at steady state. Importantly, by integrating subcellular proteomic dataset with functional metabolic assays, we uncovered a lipid-dependent vulnerability of FLT3-ITD cells: lipid restriction enhances FLT3 trafficking to the plasma membrane, and markedly reduces cell viability, restoring midostaurin sensitivity of resistant FLT3-ITD cells. Together, our findings reveal that the FLT3-ITD insertion site orchestrates a coordinated remodeling of subcellular protein organization, autophagy, and metabolism, and identify lipid-mediated control of FLT3 compartmentalization as a therapeutically actionable mechanism to overcome TKI resistance in FLT3-ITD AML.

GRP94 rewires and buffers the FLT3-ITD signaling network and promotes survival of acute myeloid leukemic stem cells

Project description:Internal tandem duplications in the tyrosine kinase receptor FLT3 (FLT3-ITD) are among the most common lesions in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and there exists a need for new forms of treatment. Using ex vivo drug sensitivity screening, we found that FLT3-ITD+ patient cells are particularly sensitive to HSP90 inhibitors. While it is well known that HSP90 is important for FLT3-ITD stability, we found that HSP90 family members play a much more complex role in FLT3-ITD signaling than previously appreciated. First, we found that FLT3-ITD activates the unfolded protein response (UPR), leading to increased expression of GRP94/HSP90B1. GRP94 rewires FLT3-ITD signaling by binding and retaining FLT3-ITD in the ER, where it aberrantly activates downstream signaling pathways. Second, HSP90 family proteins protect FLT3-ITD+ AML cells against apoptosis by alleviating proteotoxic stress, and treatment with HSP90 inhibitors results in proteotoxic overload that triggers UPR-induced apoptosis. Importantly, leukemic stem cells are strongly dependent upon HSP90 for their survival, and the HSP90 inhibitor ganetespib causes leukemic stem cell exhaustion in mouse PDX models. Taken together, our study reveals a molecular basis for HSP90 addiction of FLT3-ITD+ AML cells and provides a rationale for including HSP90 inhibitors in the treatment regime for FLT3-ITD+ AML.

PRMT1-mediated FLT3 arginine methylation is required for maintenance of FLT3-ITD+ Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Project description:The presence of FLT3-ITD mutations in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is associated with poor clinical outcome. FLT3 tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), although effective in kinase ablation, do not eliminate FLT3-ITD+ leukemia stem cells (LSCs) which are potential sources of disease relapse, prompting us to ask whether FLT3-ITD protein regulates the AML LSCs survival through a kinase-independent mechanism. Here, we show that expression of PRMT1, the primary type I arginine methyltransferase, significantly increases in LSC-enriched CD34+CD38- populations relative to normal counterparts. Genetic PRMT1 depletion blocked AML CD34+ cell survival, and had more potent effects in AML cells from patients harboring FLT3-ITD. Our genome wide analysis of gene expression and PRMT1 conditional KO mouse study confirmed that PRMT1 preferentially cooperates with FLT3-ITD contributing to AML cell maintenance. Mechanistically, PRMT1 catalyzed FLT3-ITD protein methylation at arginines 972/973, and PRMT1 promoted leukemia cell growth in a FLT3 methylation-dependent manner. Moreover, effects of FLT3-ITD methylation in AML cells were in part due to crosstalk with FLT3-ITD phosphorylation at tyrosine 969 (Y969). Importantly, FLT3 methylation persisted in FLT3-ITD+ AML cells following TKI (AC220) treatment, indicating that methylation occurs independently of kinase activity. Finally, in both patient-derived xenograft (PDX) and murine AML models, combined administration of AC220 with a type I PRMT inhibitor (MS023) enhanced elimination of FLT3-ITD+ AML relative to AC220 treatment alone. Our study demonstrates that PRMT1-mediated FLT3 methylation promotes LSC activity and suggests that combining PRMT1 inhibition with FLT3 TKI treatment could be a promising approach to selectively target FLT3-ITD+ LSCs.
