Ki11502, a novel multitargeted receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor, induces growth arrest and apoptosis of human leukemia cells in vitro and in vivo.

ABSTRACT: Ki11502 is a novel multitargeted receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) inhibitor with selectivity against platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha/beta (PDGFRalpha/beta). Ki11502 (0.1-1 nM, 2 days) profoundly caused growth arrest, G(0)/G(1) cell-cycle arrest, and apoptosis associated with down-regulation of Bcl-2 family proteins in the eosinophilic leukemia EOL-1 cells having the activated FIP1-like 1/PDGFRalpha fusion gene. Ki11502 decreased levels of p-PDGFRalpha and its downstream signals, including p-Akt, p-ERK, and p-STAT5, in EOL-1 cells. Of note, Ki11502 was also active against imatinib-resistant PDGFRalphaT674I mutant. In addition, Ki11502 inhibited proliferation of biphenotipic leukemia MV4-11 and acute myelogenous leukemia MOLM13 and freshly isolated leukemia cells having activating mutations in FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3). This occurred in parallel with the drug inhibiting FLT3 and its downstream signal pathways, as measured by fluorescence-activated cell sorting using the phospho-specific antibodies. In addition, Ki11502 totally inhibited proliferation of EOL-1 cells growing as tumor xenografts in SCID mice without any noticeable adverse effects. Taken together, Ki11502 has profound antiproliferative effects on select subsets of leukemia including those possessing imatinib-resistant mutation.

Project description:BackgroundNeuroblastoma (NB) is an early childhood malignancy that arises from the developing sympathetic nervous system. Harmine is a tricyclic β-carboline alkaloid isolated from the harmal plant that exhibits both cytostatic and cytotoxic effects. Harmine is capable of blocking the activities of dual-specificity tyrosine phosphorylation-regulated kinase (DYRK) family proteins and mitogen-activated protein kinase. These kinases promote proliferation and inhibit apoptosis.MethodsFour human NB cell lines were used to study the effects of harmine treatment: SKNBE and KELLY (MYCN-amplified) as well as SKNAS and SKNFI (MYCN non-amplified). The anti-cancer properties of harmine were examined by RealTime-Glo MT cell viability assays, caspase activity assays, PARP cleavage using Western blot analysis, and flow cytometry-based Annexin V detection. A molecular interaction model of harmine bound to the DYRK2 family kinase was generated by computational docking using X-ray structures. NB tumors from human patients were profiled for DYRK mRNA expression patterns and clinical correlations using the R2 platform.ResultsThe IC50 values for harmine after 72 h treatment were 169.6, 170.8, and 791.7 μM for SKNBE, KELLY, and SKNFI, respectively. Exposure of these NB cell lines to 100 μM of harmine resulted in caspase-3/7 and caspase-9 activation as well as caspase-mediated PARP cleavage and Annexin V-positive stained cells, as early as 24 h after treatment, clearly suggesting apoptosis induction, especially in MYCN-amplified cell lines. Elevated DYRK2 mRNA levels correlated with poor prognosis in a large cohort of NB tumors.ConclusionHarmine is a known inhibitor of DYRK family kinases. It can induce apoptosis in NB cell lines, which led us to investigate the clinical correlations of DYRK family gene expression in NB tumors. The patient results support our hypothesis that DYRK inhibition by harmine and the subsequent triggering of caspase-mediated apoptosis might present a novel approach to NB therapy.
