Bcr-Abl expressing primary or cultured leukemia cells display high levels of the antiapoptotic heat shock protein (hsp) 70, and are resistant to cytarbine (Ara-C), etoposide or Apo-2L/TRAIL-induced apoptosis. Conversely, a stable expression of the cDNA of hsp70 in the reverse orientation attenuated not only hsp70 but also STAT5 and Bcl-xL levels. This increased apoptosis induced by cytarabine, etoposide or Apo-2L/TRAIL. Ectopic expression of hsp70 in HL-60 cells (HL-60/hsp70) inhibited Ara-C and etoposide-induced Bax conformation change and translocation to the mitochondria, attenuated the accumulation of cytochrome c, Smac and Omi/HtrA2 in the cytosol, as well as inhibited the processing and activity of caspase-9 and caspase-3. Hsp70 was bound to death receptors 4 and 5 (DR4 and DR5), and inhibited Apo-2L/TRAIL-induced assembly and activity of the death inducing signaling complex (DISC). HL-60/hsp70 cells exhibited increased levels and DNA binding activity of STAT5, which was associated with high levels of Pim-2 and Bcl-xL, and resistance to apoptosis. Expression of the dominant negative (DN) STAT5 re-sensitized HL-60/hsp70 cells to cytarbine, etoposide and Apo-2L/TRAIL induced apoptosis. Collectively, these findings suggest that hsp70 inhibits apoptosis upstream and downstream of the mitochondria, and is a promising therapeutic target for reversing drug-resistance in CML-BC and AML cells.
