MS-based proteomic and phosphoproteomic characterization of the AML proteome
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a hematological cancer that affects mainly the elderly. Although complete remission (CR) is achieved for the majority of the patients after induction and consolidation therapies, nearly two-thirds relapse within a short interval. Therefore, understanding of the biological factors that determine relapse has become a major interest in clinical AML. In order to identify the proteins and their phosphorylated modifications involved in AML relapse, we performed a global proteome and phosphoproteome study by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) with primary cells from 41 AML patients at time of diagnosis that were defined as RELAPSE or REL_FREE according to their relapse status after a 5-year clinical follow-up post diagnosis. Our findings showed that the diagnostic sample of patients relapsing had increased levels of RNA processing and decreased expression of V-ATPases proteins along with CDKs and CSK2 activities. LC-MS/MS-based results were further validated with cell proliferation assays using V-ATPase inhibitor bafilomycin A1, CSK2 inhibitor CX-4945, CDK4/6 inhibitor abemaciclib and CDK2/7/9 inhibitor SNS-032. Our study presents molecules that could predict AML relapse and direct new therapeutic strategies that might circumvent more aggressive AML episodes.
