NEOPLASIA

Involvement of protein kinase C and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase pathways in the survival of B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells

From Unitat de Bioquímica, Departament de Ciències Fisiol&ggrave;iques II, Universitat de Barcelona, and Unitat d'Hematopatologia, Servei d'Hematologia, Institut d'Investigacions Biomèdiques August Pi i Sunyer, Hospital Clínic, Barcelona, Spain.

B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) is characterized by the accumulation of long-lived CD5+ B lymphocytes. TPA (12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13- acetate) and interleukin-4 (IL-4) inhibit apoptosis of B-CLL lymphocytes ex vivo. We used specific inhibitors of protein kinase C (PKC), extracellular-regulated kinase (ERK), and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3-kinase) to study their involvement in TPA- and IL-4-induced survival of B-CLL lymphocytes. BisI, a specific inhibitor of PKC, induced apoptosis and inhibited the antiapoptotic activity of TPA and IL-4. B-CLL cells have a basal PKC activity that was increased by TPA but not by IL-4. TPA, but not IL-4, induced ERK activation. However, the inhibition of ERK activation did not affect the viability of B-CLL lymphocytes, demonstrating that this pathway is not involved in their survival. Inhibition of PI3-kinase by LY294002 induced apoptosis of B-CLL cells and inhibited the survival effect of IL-4 and TPA. In addition, Akt, a downstream effector of PI3-kinase activity, was phosphorylated by TPA and IL-4 in B-CLL cells, though PI3-kinase had no effect on PKC-dependent phosphorylation of Akt. Furthermore, the inhibition of PKC or PI3-kinase increased dexamethasone- and fludarabine-induced apoptosis ex vivo in the presence of survival factors. These results demonstrate that PKC and PI3-kinase are involved in the survival of B-CLL cells and suggest that inhibitors of these pathways could be combined with the drugs used in the treatment of B-CLL.
