The enzymatic activities of CD38 enhance CLL growth and trafficking: implications for therapeutic targeting


ABSTRACT: The ecto-enzyme CD38 is a marker of unfavorable prognosis for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) patients and an indicator of activation and proliferation of leukemic cells. Here we show that CD38 is enzymatically active in primary CLL cells and that its forced expression increases disease aggressiveness in a xenograft model. The effect is completely lost when using an enzyme deficient version of CD38 with a single amino-acid mutation. Through the enzymatic conversion of NAD, CD38 increases cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentrations, positively influencing proliferation, chemotaxis, adhesion and matrix digestion. Inhibition of the enzymatic activities of CD38 using the flavonoid kuromanin blocks CLL homing. In a short-term xenograft model using primary cells, kuromanin treatment traps CLL cells in the blood, increasing responses to chemotherapy.
