Abstract Text

Fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) inhibition has elicited encouraging responses in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) therapy. Unfortunately, unless combined with a bone marrow transplant, disease relapse is frequent. In addition to the acquired point mutations in the FLT3 kinase domain that contribute to FLT3 inhibitor resistance, MEK/ERK signaling is persistently activated in AML cells even when FLT3 phosphorylation is continually suppressed. Thus, concomitant targeting of FLT3 and MAPK may potentially exert synergistic activity to counteract the resistance of AML cells to FLT3-targeted therapy. In this study, we investigated the antileukemia activity of a MEK1 and FLT3 dual inhibitor, E6201, in AML cells resistant to FLT3 inhibition. We found that E6201 exerted profound apoptogenic effects on AML cells harboring resistance-conferring FLT3 mutations. This activity appeared to be p53 dependent, and E6201-induced cytotoxicity was retained under hypoxic culture conditions and during coculture with mesenchymal stem cells that mimic the AML microenvironment. Furthermore, E6201 markedly reduced leukemia burden and improved the survival of mice in a human FLT3-mutated AML model. Collectively, our data provide a preclinical basis for the clinical evaluation of E6201 in AML patients harboring FLT3 mutations, including those who relapse following FLT3-targeted monotherapy.

Filtering

Case insensitive filtering will display rows if any text in any cell matches the filter term
Use simple literal full or partial string matches
Separate multiple filter terms with a space. Any order may be used (i. e. a b c and c b a are equivalent )
Filtering will only apply to rows that are already loaded on the page. Filtering has no impact on query parameters.
Use quotes to match on a longer phrase with spaces (i.e. "mtor c1483f")

Sorting

Generally, the default sort order for tables is set to be first column ascending; however, specific tables may set a different default sort order.
Click on any column header arrows to sort by that column
Hold down the Shift key and click multiple columns to sort by more than one column. Be sure to set ascending or descending order for a given column before moving on to the next column.
