The t(4;14) translocation occurs in 25% of multiple myeloma (MM)
and results in both the ectopic expression of fibroblast growth factor
receptor 3 (FGFR3) from der4 and immunoglobulin heavy chain-MMSET
hybrid messenger RNA transcripts from der14. The subsequent selection
of activating mutations of the translocated FGFR3 by MM cells
indicates an important role for this signaling pathway in tumor
development and progression. To investigate the mechanism by which
FGFR3 overexpression promotes MM development, interleukin-6
(IL-6)-dependent murine B9 cells were transduced with retroviruses
expressing functional wild-type or constitutively activated mutant
FGFR3. Overexpression of mutant FGFR3 resulted in IL-6 independence,
decreased apoptosis, and an enhanced proliferative response to IL-6. In
the presence of ligand, wild-type FGFR3-expressing cells also exhibited
enhanced proliferation and survival in comparison to
controls. B9 clones expressing either wild-type FGFR3 at high levels or
mutant FGFR3 displayed increased phosphorylation of STAT3 and higher
levels of bcl-xL expression than did parental B9 cells
after cytokine withdrawal. The mechanism of the enhanced cell
responsiveness to IL-6 is unknown at this time, but does not
appear to be mediated by the mitogen-activated protein kinases SAPK,
p38, or ERK. These findings provide a rational explanation for the
mechanism by which FGFR3 contributes to both the viability and
propagation of the myeloma clone and provide a basis for the development of therapies targeting this pathway.
