Genetic or pharmacological inactivation of CREBBP sensitizes B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia to Ferroptotic Cell Death upon BCL2 Inhibition
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: We performed a targeted drug screen in isogenic human cell lines, identifying a number of actionable small molecules that specifically target CREBBP-mutated B-ALL. The most potent was the BCL2 inhibitor Venetoclax, which acts through a non-canonical mechanism resulting in ferroptotic cell death. CREBBP-mutated cell lines showed differences in cell-cycle, metabolism and response to oxidative stress. Lastly, we demonstrate that small-molecule inhibition of CREBBP sensitizes B-ALL cells, regardless of genotype, to Venetoclax-induced ferroptosis in-vitro and in-vivo, providing a potential novel drug combination for broader clinical translation in B-ALL.
