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.
