BCR/ABL oncogenic tyrosine kinase activates STAT5, which plays an
important role in leukemogenesis. The downstream effectors of the
BCR/ABL STAT5 pathway remain poorly defined. We show here that
expression of the antiapoptotic protein A1, a member of the Bcl-2
family, and the serine/threonine kinase pim-1 are enhanced by BCR/ABL.
This up-regulation requires activation of STAT5 by the signaling from
SH3+SH2 domains of BCR/ABL. Enhanced expression of A1 and pim-1 played
a key role in the BCR/ABL-mediated cell protection from apoptosis. In
addition, pim-1 promoted proliferation of the BCR/ABL-transformed
cells. Both A1 and pim-1 were required to induce interleukin
3-independent cell growth, inhibit activation of caspase 3, and
stimulate cell cycle progression. Moreover, simultaneous up-regulation
of both A1 and pim-1 was essential for in vitro transformation and in
vivo leukemogenesis mediated by BCR/ABL. These data indicate that
induction of A1 and pim-1 expression may play a critical role in the
BCR/ABL-dependent transformation.
