Expression data from NB4 control shRNA cells and NB4 TRIB3 shRNA cells

ABSTRACT: To identify the top 20 up-regulated genes in NB4 TRIB3 shRNA cells in comparison with NB4 control shRNA cells, we examined the microarray gene expression profile of these groups above. Despite the fact that combined therapy of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) with arsenic trioxide (ATO) or chemotherapy dramatically improves the prognosis of patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), these regimens can cause systemic infections and secondary leukemias. Here we report that expression of the pseudokinase Tribble 3 (TRIB3) associates positively with APL progression and therapeutic resistance. The elevated TRIB3 expression promotes APL by interacting with PML-RARa and suppressing its sumoylation, ubiquitylation and degradation. This represses PML nuclear body assembly, p53-mediated senescence, cell differentiation, and supports cellular self-renewal. Genetically inhibiting Trib3 expression or disturbing the TRIB3/PML-RARa interaction produces potent therapeutic efficacy against APL and has synergic anti-APL effects when used in combination with ATRA or ATO by promoting PML-RARa degradation and PML expression. Our study provides new insight into APL pathogenesis and a new therapeutic option against APL.
