Unusual Activation of Pro-survival Pathway (UAPP)

Disease Class: Chronic myeloid leukemia [ICD-11: 2A20.0] [1]

• Resistant Disease: Chronic myeloid leukemia [ICD-11: 2A20.0]
• Resistant Drug: Dasatinib
• Molecule Alteration: Expression; Up-regulation
• Experimental Note: Revealed Based on the Cell Line Data
• In Vitro Model: K562/DR cells; Bone marrow; Homo sapiens (Human); N.A.
• Experiment for Molecule Alteration: Western blot assay; qRT-PCR
• Experiment for Drug Resistance: Trypan blue dye staining assay
• Mechanism Description: We found that dasatinib-resistant K562/DR and KU812/DR cells did not harbour a BCR::ABL1 mutation but had elevated expression and/or activation of MOS, TPL2 and ERK1/2. In addition, MOS siRNA, TPL2 siRNA and trametinib resensitized dasatinib-resistant cells to dasatinib. Moreover, expression levels of MOS in dasatinib non-responder patients with CML were higher than those in dasatinib responders, and the expression of TPL2 tended to increase in dasatinib non-responder patients compared with that in responder patients. Our results indicate that activation of ERK1/2 by elevated MOS and TPL2 expression is involved in dasatinib resistance, and inhibition of these proteins overcomes dasatinib resistance. Therefore, MOS, TPL2 and ERK1/2 inhibitors may be therapeutically useful for treating BCR::ABL1-independent dasatinib-resistant CML.
