Idasanutlin differential expression in MOLM13 and OCIAML3
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Targeting MDM2 is an attractive therapeutic approach for TP53 wild-type (WT) tumors, including the majority of de novo acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cases. However, patients with WT TP53 have shown variable responses to MDM2 inhibitors in clinical trials, highlighting the need to identify additional biomarkers to maximize the chances of clinical success. We performed CRISPR-Cas9 knockout screens to identify genes that confer resistance to an MDM2 inhibitor idasanutlin. We did not find recurrent sgRNA hits or mutations in p53 downstream targets, such as CDKN1A, BAX, PMIAP1, and BBC3, apart from TP53. This was consistent with the results of individual knockout validation experiments and exome sequencing data from idasanutlin resistant cell lines generated form long-term exposure to low doses of idasanutlin. RNA-seq differential expression analysis revealed that major p53 downstream targets were upregulated in both idasanutlin-sensitive MOLM13 and resistant OCIAML3 cell lines after idasanutlin treatment. These findings highlight the pleiotropic functions of TP53 and suggest that the loss of individual downstream targets of TP53 does not significantly contribute to MDM2 inhibitor resistance.
