Is There a Role for Dose Modification of TKI Therapy in CML?

ABSTRACT: PURPOSE OF REVIEW:For patients with chronic phase chronic myeloid leukemia (CP-CML), there is an increasing focus on personalization of therapy with dose modifications of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) to reduce side effects and maintain efficacy. Dose reductions are also being considered in clinical trials prior to treatment-free remission (TFR) attempts. RECENT FINDINGS:Recent retrospective analyses of large clinical trials show that dose modification/reduction is safe. Efficacy is generally maintained and side effects are improved. Clinical trials such as DESTINY have demonstrated that dose reduction is safe for patients in deep molecular remission and may be considered prior to a TFR attempt. Dose modifications are widely used to prevent and manage the toxicities of TKIs. With adequate monitoring, dose optimization is safe, reduces side effects, and improves quality-of-life for patients. Clinical trials of dose optimization are currently recruiting across all approved TKIs and will lead to further personalization of therapy for CP-CML patients in the future.

Selective JAK2/ABL dual inhibition therapy effectively eliminates TKI-insensitive CML stem/progenitor cells.

Project description:Imatinib Mesylate (IM) and other tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapies have had a major impact on the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). However, TKI monotherapy is not curative, with relapse and persistence of leukemic stem cells (LSCs) remaining a challenge. We have recently identified an AHI-1-BCR-ABL-JAK2 protein complex that contributes to the transforming activity of BCR-ABL and IM-resistance in CML stem/progenitor cells. JAK2 thus emerges as an attractive target for improved therapies, but off-target effects of newly developed JAK2 inhibitors on normal hematopoietic cells remain a concern. We have examined the biological effects of a highly selective, orally bioavailable JAK2 inhibitor, BMS-911543, in combination with TKIs on CD34+ treatment-naïve IM-nonresponder cells. Combination therapy reduces JAK2/STAT5 and CRKL activities, induces apoptosis, inhibits proliferation and colony growth, and eliminates CML LSCs in vitro. Importantly, BMS-911543 selectively targets CML stem/progenitor cells while sparing healthy stem/progenitor cells. Oral BMS-911543 combined with the potent TKI dasatinib more effectively eliminates infiltrated leukemic cells in hematopoietic tissues than TKI monotherapy and enhances survival of leukemic mice. Dual targeting BCR-ABL and JAK2 activities in CML stem/progenitor cells may consequently lead to more effective disease eradication, especially in patients at high risk of TKI resistance and disease progression.

Combination of PKCδ Inhibition with Conventional TKI Treatment to Target CML Models.

Project description:Numerous combinations of signaling pathway blockades in association with tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) treatment have been proposed for eradicating leukemic stem cells (LSCs) in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), but none are currently clinically available. Because targeting protein kinase Cδ (PKCδ) was demonstrated to eliminate cancer stem cells (CSCs) in solid tumors, we evaluated the efficacy of PKCδ inhibition in combination with TKIs for CML cells. We observed that inhibition of PKCδ by a pharmacological inhibitor, by gene silencing, or by using K562 CML cells expressing dominant-negative (DN) or constitutively active (CA) PKCδ isoforms clearly points to PKCδ as a regulator of the expression of the stemness regulator BMI1. As a consequence, inhibition of PKCδ impaired clonogenicity and cell proliferation for leukemic cells. PKCδ targeting in K562 and LAMA-84 CML cell lines clearly enhanced the apoptotic response triggered by any TKI. A strong synergism was observed for apoptosis induction through an increase in caspase-9 and caspase-3 activation and significantly decreased expression of the Bcl-xL Bcl-2 family member. Inhibition of PKCδ did not modify BCR-ABL phosphorylation but acted downstream of the oncogene by downregulating BMI1 expression, decreasing clonogenicity. PKCδ inhibition interfered with the clonogenicity of primary CML CD34+ and BCR-ABL-transduced healthy CD34+ cells as efficiently as any TKI while it did not affect differentiation of healthy CD34+ cells. LTC-IC experiments pinpointed that PKCδ inhibition strongly decreased the progenitors/LSCs frequency. All together, these results demonstrate that targeting of PKCδ in combination with a conventional TKI could be a new therapeutic opportunity to affect for CML cells.

Early and late TKI response of CML stem cells

Project description:Chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) is a clonal haemopoietic stem cell (HSC) disorder associated with the BCR-ABL oncogene, which encodes a constitutively active tyrosine kinase. We have demonstrated the existence of CML HSC which are resistant to the tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI). We have hypothesised that CML stem cells are dependent on key survival pathways that are induced by TKI treatment. In order to elucidate these key survival pathways, we have investigated the transcriptional differences between CML stem/progenitor cells (CD34+38-) treated with TKIs (imatinib, dasatinib and nilotinib) at different time points (8 hours and 7 days, in the absence of growth factors) and by carrying out RNA profiling for the different populations. CD34+38- cells were isolated from chronic phase patient samples. >100ng of total RNA was amplified prior to analysis that was carried out with Affymetrix Human Gene 1.0 ST array.

Supplemental Pioglitazone to Patients of CML with Suboptimal TKI Response: A Pragmatic Pilot Study.

Project description:Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have improved outcomes of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). However, 20-30% of patients require second-line TKIs following suboptimal response. The cost and adverse events limit their use in resource-constraint settings. We conducted a pilot study to ascertain the benefit of adding pioglitazone to TKIs with suboptimal response in real-world resource-constraint settings. In this pragmatic pilot study from 01 Jan 2017 to 31 July 2021, CML patients from a tertiary care center in North India with sub-optimal response to TKIs were additionally given pioglitazone after ruling out imatinib resistance mutation (n - 31). Pioglitazone was stopped if there was disease progression on follow-up, and second-line TKI was started. The data were analyzed with the intention-to-treat principle using JMP Ver.15.1.1. The median age of the study population was 54y (27-82), who were followed up for a median duration of 1023.5d (59-1117). Pioglitazone showed the benefit of one-log reduction in BCR-ABL in 89.7% of the study participants. 1y, 2y and 3y-PFS were 92.57%, 76.5%, and 68.3% respectively. During follow-up period, the disease progressed in 38.7%, of which two succumbed. No adverse events to Pioglitazone were documented. This study proved that adding Pioglitazone to the existing TKI regime in CML with sub-optimal response can benefit. The addition of Pioglitazone was well tolerated.Graphical abstractSupplementary informationThe online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s12288-022-01561-x.

Knockout of LASP1 in CXCR4 expressing CML cells promotes cell persistence, proliferation and TKI resistance.

Project description:Chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) is a clonal myeloproliferative stem cell disorder characterized by the constitutively active BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase. The LIM and SH3 domain protein 1 (LASP1) has recently been identified as a novel BCR-ABL substrate and is associated with proliferation, migration, tumorigenesis and chemoresistance in several cancers. Furthermore, LASP1 was shown to bind to the chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4), thought to be involved in mechanisms of relapse. In order to identify potential LASP1-mediated pathways and related factors that may help to further eradicate minimal residual disease (MRD), the effect of LASP1 on processes involved in progression and maintenance of CML was investigated. The present data indicate that not only overexpression of CXCR4, but also knockout of LASP1 contributes to proliferation, reduced apoptosis and migration as well as increased adhesive potential of K562 CML cells. Furthermore, LASP1 depletion in K562 CML cells leads to decreased cytokine release and reduced NK cell-mediated cytotoxicity towards CML cells. Taken together, these results indicate that in CML, reduced levels of LASP1 alone and in combination with high CXCR4 expression may contribute to TKI resistance.

BCAT1 contributes to the developmentproliferation and leukemogenesis of TKI-resistant CML

Project description:In this report, we revealed that branched chain amino acid transaminase 1 (BCAT1) is highly enriched in both mouse and human TKI-resistant CML cells. Leukemia was almost completely abrogated upon BCAT1 knockdown during transplantation in a BCR-ABLT315I-induced murine TKI-resistant CML model . Moreover, knockdown of BCAT1 led to a dramatic decrease in the proliferation of TKI-resistant human leukemia cell lines. BCAA/BCAT1 signaling enhanced the phosphorylation of CREB, which is required for maintenance of TKI-resistant CML cells. Importantly, blockade of BCAA/BCAT1 signaling efficiently inhibited leukemogenesis both in vivo and in vitro.

Novel approaches to therapy in CML.

Project description:Treatment with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) results in remission and prolongation of survival in most chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients but fails to eliminate the leukemia stem cells (LSCs) responsible for disease development and propagation. This accounts for the clinical observation that TKI discontinuation leads to rapid leukemia relapse. Most patients require continued treatment to prevent relapse, with associated risk of relapse, toxicity, teratogenic effects, financial burden, and noncompliance. Understanding LSC resistance to TKI and development of strategies to increase the proportion of CML patients achieving treatment-free remissions is a critical area of investigation in CML. In addition, LSCs are the source of TKI resistance, relapse, or disease progression, which is another major area of need in CML treatment. It is now understood that BCR-ABL kinase-independent mechanisms are responsible for retention of LSC subpopulations. It is likely that both cell-intrinsic and microenvironmental mechanisms contribute to LSC maintenance. Here, we review the current understanding of mechanisms underlying persistence of CML LSCs during TKI treatment, recently described approaches to target these cells and emerging clinical trials, and the challenges impeding more rapid progress in achieving cures for a greater number of CML patients.

Enhanced targeting of CML stem and progenitor cells by inhibition of porcupine acyltransferase in combination with TKI.

Project description:Tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) has limited efficacy against leukemia stem cells (LSC) responsible for disease propagation, and most CML patients require continued TKI treatment to maintain remission. LSC maintenance is related, at least in part, to signals from the bone marrow microenvironment (BMM). Our previous studies have shown that Wnt signaling from the BMM contributes to preservation of CML LSC following TKI treatment. Secretion of Wnt ligands requires their modification by the O-acyl transferase Porcupine (PORCN). Here we investigated the activity of a potent and selective PORCN inhibitor, WNT974, against CML stem and progenitor cells. WNT974 efficiently antagonized Wnt signaling in human CML CD34+ cells, and in combination with the TKI nilotinib (NIL) significantly enhanced inhibition of proliferation and colony-forming potential of CML stem and progenitor cells and reduced their growth in immunodeficient mice in vivo, in comparison with NIL alone. Treatment of transgenic CML mice in vivo with NIL in combination with WNT974 significantly reduced leukemic stem and progenitor cell numbers, reduced regeneration of leukemic long-term hematopoietic stem cells in secondary transplant recipients, and enhanced survival of mice after discontinuation of treatment, in comparison with NIL alone. CML progenitors demonstrated enhanced sensitivity to Wnt stimulation, associated with increased expression of the FZD4 receptor. FZD4 knockdown inhibited CML progenitor growth. These results support further investigation of PORCN targeting to inhibit Wnt secretion and signaling and enhance targeting of CML stem cells while sparing their normal counterparts.

Evaluation of CML TKI Induced Cardiovascular Toxicity and Development of Potential Rescue Strategies in a Zebrafish Model.

Project description:Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) to BCR-ABL1 have been successfully used to treat chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), however, multiple TKI-associated adverse events have been reported and become an emerging problem in patients. The mechanisms of TKI-induced toxicity are not fully understood and it remains challenging to predict potential cardiovascular toxicity of a compound. In this study, we established a zebrafish model to evaluate potential in vivo cardiovascular toxicity of TKIs. We treated the endothelium labeled Tg(kdrl:EGFP) transgenic zebrafish embryos with TKIs then performed confocal imaging to evaluate their vascular structure and function. We found that among FDA approved CML TKIs, ponatinib (the only approved TKI that is efficacious to T315I mutation) is the most toxic one. We then evaluated safety profiles of several clinical stage kinase inhibitors that can target T315I and found that HQP1351 treatment leads to vasculopathies similar to those induced by ponatinib while the allosteric ABL inhibitor asciminib does not induce noticeable cardiovascular defects, indicating it could be a promising therapeutic reagent for patients with T315I mutation. We then performed proof-of-principle study to rescue those TKI-induced cardiovascular toxicities and found that, among commonly used anti-hypertensive drugs, angiotensin receptor blockers such as azilsartan and valsartan are able to reduce ponatinib or HQP1351 induced cardiovascular toxicities. Together, this study establishes a zebrafish model that can be useful to evaluate cardiovascular toxicity of TKIs as well as to develop strategies to minimize TKI-induced adverse events.

Exome, transcriptome and miRNA analysis don't reveal any molecular markers of TKI efficacy in primary CML patients.

Project description:BackgroundApproximately 5-20% of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients demonstrate primary resistance or intolerance to imatinib. None of the existing predictive scores gives a good prognosis of TKI efficacy. Gene polymorphisms, expression and microRNAs are known to be involved in the pathogenesis of TKI resistance in CML. The aim of our study is to find new molecular markers of TKI therapy efficacy in CML patients.MethodsNewly diagnosed patients with Ph+ CML in chronic phase were included in this study. Optimal and non-optimal responses to TKI were estimated according to ELN 2013 recommendation. We performed genotyping of selected polymorphisms in 62 blood samples of CML patients, expression profiling of 33 RNA samples extracted from blood and miRNA profiling of 800 miRNA in 12 blood samples of CML patients.ResultsThe frequencies of genotypes at the studied loci did not differ between groups of patients with an optimal and non-optimal response to TKI therapy. Analysis of the expression of 34,681 genes revealed 26 differently expressed genes (p < 0.05) in groups of patients with different TKI responses, but differences were very small and were not confirmed by qPCR. Finally, we did not find difference in miRNA expression between the groups.ConclusionsUsing modern high-throughput methods such as whole-exome sequencing, transcriptome and miRNA analysis, we could not find reliable molecular markers for early prediction of TKI efficiency in Ph+ CML patients.
