NEOPLASIA

Activation of {alpha}-diacylglycerol kinase is critical for the mitogenic properties of anaplastic lymphoma kinase

Oncogenic rearrangements of the tyrosine kinase receptor anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK), most commonly represented by the nucleophosmin/ALK fusion protein (NPM/ALK), are involved in the pathogenesis of anaplastic large-cell lymphomas (ALCLs). In an effort to identify new intracellular transducers operative in ALK-positive malignancies, we have investigated the potential involvement of diacylglycerol kinase (DGK). Here we show that {alpha}DGK is constitutively activated in the NPM/ALK-positive ALCL-derived cell line Karpas 299 and in NPM/ALK-infected 32D hematopoietic cells. These results were further validated in fibroblastic NIH-3T3 cells expressing a previously described chimeric epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)/ALK molecule that allows dissection of ALK enzymatic function under conditions of controlled ligand-induced activation. In this cell system, we also show that ALK-mediated {alpha}DGK activation is dependent on p60src tyrosine kinase, with which {alpha}DGK forms a complex. The specific inhibition of {alpha}DGK, obtained by cell treatment with R59949, significantly reduced cellular growth in all cell lines. This result was further confirmed in Karpas 299 cells following specific down-regulation of {alpha}DGK by RNA interference. Overall, our data indicate that {alpha}DGK activation is involved in the control of ALK-mediated mitogenic properties. (Blood. 2005;106: 2175-2182)
