Preclinical evaluation of the ETS inhibitor TK216 against relapsed and refractory childhood leukemia.

Résumé
10033 Background: Although survival rates have improved in the recent past, relapse and refractory disease remain a significant cause of death in children with leukemia. This calls for an urgent need for the development of novel therapies that could effectively treat leukemias in children. The E26 transformation specific (ETS) family of transcription factors regulate various normal cellular functions but are abnormally expressed in various cancers, including leukemia. TK216 is an ETS inhibitor, that has shown pre-clinical activity and clinical efficacy in solid tumors. In this study, we explore the feasibility of using TK216 as a therapeutic agent for the treatment of high risk refractory pediatric leukemia. Methods: A panel of pediatric leukemia derived cell lines and primary blast cells representing a spectrum of molecular abnormalities seen in pediatric leukemia were treated in vitro with TK216 to determine cytotoxicity. Normal lymphocytes were used as controls and cell viability was determined 72 hours post-treatment by Alamar blue assay. The induction of tumor cell apoptosis and target modulation were detected by Western blotting. Alterations in the cell cycle were assessed by FACS analysis with PI staining. Drug combination studies were carried out with established anti-leukemic agents to identify synergy for greater therapeutic efficiency. Results: TK216 decreased cell viability in leukemia cells compared to normal lymphocyte controls in a dose-dependent manner with variations in sensitivity noted with inherent molecular abnormalities. The IC50 values observed ranged from 0.22 µM for the most sensitive cell line, MV4-11 to 0.95 µM for least sensitive cell line, SUP-B15. Apoptosis induction upon TK216 treatment was confirmed by PARP cleavage and caspase 3 activation. Cell cycle analysis demonstrated increased sub-G1 population of cells after TK216 treatment. A strong correlation between sub-G1 population and sensitivity of the cell line towards TK216 (47% in MV4-11 vs 3.72% in SUP-B15) was observed. Screening of a panel of 200 FDA approved anti-cancer agents in drug combination studies identified potential agents for drug synergy. Significant drug synergy was noted with TK216 in combination with the epigenetic modifier 5-azacytidine and the Bcl-2 inhibitor, Venetoclax. [Combination Index for Venetoclax and TK216, mean = 0.65 for MV4-11 and 0.33 for SUP-B15]. Conclusions: Data from our study demonstrate that the ETS inhibitor TK216 induces apoptosis and cell cycle arrest in pediatric leukemia cells at physiologically relevant concentrations. Our combination studies identified distinct anti-cancer agents that could be used for developing effective drug combination regimens with TK216. Overall, our findings provide essential preclinical data for the consideration of TK216 in early phase clinical trials for the treatment of selected high-risk and refractory childhood leukemia.

Imitation des enseignantsNi prévalence calibrée, ni vérité terrain. Validation humaine à venir. Le volet Gemma est une étiquette directe du modèle pour chaque travail de la base, lue sur la notice réduite au titre. Le volet Codex est un classifieur appris des 10 348 étiquettes directes de Codex et calibré sur les taux pondérés de l'échantillon; les champs sans appui suffisant ne portent aucun appel Codex. Le mode candidate est l'union des deux volets; le consensus est leur intersection. Ces sorties portent le statut machine_predicted_unvalidated et ne sont pas des étiquettes humaines.
