タイトル The anti-apoptotic role of the unfolded protein response in Bcr-Abl-positive leukemia cells.
ジャーナル Leuk Res
Abstract To define the role of the unfolded protein response (UPR) in leukemogenesis, we investigated UPR activation in the cells expressing the representative oncogene Bcr-Abl (B-A). The expression of UPR-related proteins and mRNAs, namely, X-box-binding protein (XBP1) and glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78) was increased in B-A. UPR inhibition using inositol-requiring enzyme 1alpha (IRE1alpha) or activating transcription factor 6 (ATF6) dominant-negative mutants diminished the ability of Bcr-Abl to protect the cells from etoposide- and imatinib-induced apoptosis. We also noted that the expression of UPR-related genes in primary leukemia cells from Philadelphia chromosome (Ph)-positive cells was higher than that in the control by quantitative RT-PCR assay. Thus, our results suggested that UPR is a downstream target of Bcr-Abl and plays an anti-apoptotic role in Ph-positive leukemia cells.
