PIM3 Promotes the Proliferation and Migration of Acute Myeloid Leukemia Cells.

ABSTRACT: Purpose:Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is associated with a poor overall prognosis. PIM family genes, including PIM1, PIM2, and PIM3, are proto-oncogenes that are aberrantly overexpressed in different types of human cancers. In this study, we aimed to explore and clarify the function of PIM3 in AML. Patients and Methods:The expression of the three PIM genes in AML was detected using the Gene Expression Omnibus. The expression of PIM3 and PIM3 in patient samples and AML cell lines was measured using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction or Western blot analyses. The cellular behaviors of PIM3-overexpressing AML cell lines were detected using a CCK-8 assay, flow cytometry, Western blotting, immunofluorescence staining, and a cell migration assay. The interactions between PIM3 and phosphorylated CXCR4 (pCXCR4) were explored via immunoprecipitation. Results:Higher PIM3 expression was detected in primary AML cells than in healthy donor cells. Second, PIM3 overexpression promoted AML cell proliferation and protected against spontaneous apoptosis by phosphorylating BAD (pBAD) at Ser112. Furthermore, PIM3 overexpression might promote the migration of AML cells via CXCR4. PIM3-overexpressing AML cell lines exhibited increased CXCR4 phosphorylation at Ser339, and pCXCR4 interacted with PIM3. Conclusion:Our findings suggest that PIM3 regulates the proliferation, survival, and chemotaxis of AML cell lines. Moreover, pCXCR4 might mediate the regulation of PIM3-induced chemotaxis. Therefore, the inhibition of PIM3 expression may be a promising therapeutic target in AML.

Project description:Autotaxin (ATX) has been reported to act as a motility and growth factor in a variety of cancer cells. The ATX protein acts as a secreted lysophospholipase D (lysoPLD) by converting lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) to lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), which signals via G-protein coupled receptors and has important functions in cell migration and proliferation. The current study demonstrates that ATX expression is upregulated and functionally active in FLT3-ITD+ human blasts. ATX expression was also found in normal human CD34+ progenitor cells and selected myeloid and lymphoid subpopulations. Stable transduction of mutant FLT3-ITD increased ATX mRNA in selected cell lines, whereas inhibition of FLT3-ITD signaling by sublethal doses of PKC412 led to a significant down-regulation of ATX. Moreover, results indicate that the Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) is an important mediator between FLT3 signaling and ATX. In the presence of LPC, ATX expression led to a significant increase of proliferation. LPA caused proliferation of all tested cell lines, regardless of ATX expression and induced chemotaxis in human leukemic cell lines and human CD34+ progenitors. LPC increased chemotaxis, in cells with high expression of endogenous and exogenous ATX, by at least 80% demonstrating the autocrine effect of ATX expression. Inhibition of ATX using a small molecule inhibitor induced selective killing of ATX-expressing cell lines and reduced the motile phenotype observed in this cells. Our data suggest that the production of bioactive LPA through ATX is involved in controlling proliferation and migration during hematopoiesis and that deregulation contributes to the pathogenesis of AML. AML Classes: Molecular/cytogenetic group of acute myeloid leukemia, either internal tandem duplication (FLT3) or FLT3 point mutation (D835) or normal karyotype (NK) or t(8;21) transclocation (t821) or monosomy 7 (mono7) or inversion on chromosome 16 (inv16) or high leukocyte count normal karyotype (HL). FAB (French-American-British) Classification system for acute myeloid leukemia is provided for each sample.
