B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) is characterized by the accumulation of long-lived CD5+ B lymphocytes. Several drugs currently used in the therapy of B-CLL act, at least partially, through activation of the p53 pathway. Recently, non-genotoxic small-molecule activators of p53, the nutlins, have been developed that inhibit p53-MDM2 binding. We have investigated the antitumor potential of nutlin-3 in B-CLL and find that it can activate the p53 pathway and effectively induce apoptosis in cells with wild-type p53, including cells with dysfunctional ATM, but not mutant p53. Nutlin-3 stabilized p53 and induced p53 target genes including MDM2, p21, PUMA, Bax, PIG3 and WIG1. Nutlin-3 synergized with the genotoxic drugs doxorubicin, chlorambucil, and fludarabine but not with acadesine, which induces p53-independent apoptosis. Normal human T cells showed lower sensitivity to nutlin-3 than B-CLL cells and no synergism with the genotoxic drugs. These results suggest that MDM2 antagonists alone or in combination with chemotherapeutic drugs may offer a new treatment option for B-CLL.
