タイトル miR-217 sensitizes chronic myelogenous leukemia cells to tyrosine kinase inhibitors by targeting pro-oncogenic anterior gradient 2.
ジャーナル Exp Hematol
Abstract BCR-ABL1-independent mechanisms had been thought to mediate drug resistance to tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML). The pro-oncogenic anterior gradient 2 (AGR2) mediates drug resistance of cancer cells. In this study, we observed an increased level of AGR2 in TKI-resistant CML cells. Silence of AGR2 in dasatinib-resistant K562 (K562DR) cells led to restored sensitivity to dasatinib both in vitro and in vivo. Exposure to dasatinib induced upregulation of AGR2 in K562 cells, which indicated a probable treatment-related drug resistance. We further investigated the potential interaction between microRNA (miRNA) and AGR2 in K562DR cells and found that downregulation of miR-217 was associated with overexpression of AGR2 in K562DR cells. Luciferase reporter assay identified that miR-217 negatively regulated expression of AGR2 through binding the 3'-untranslated region of AGR2. Hypermethylation of the CpG island on the promoter region of the MIR217 gene is a probable reason for the downregulation of miR-217 in dasatinib-treated K562 cells. Forced expression of miR-217 led to decreased expression of AGR2 as well as compromised TKI-resistant potential of K562DR cells. Similarly, overexpression of miR-217 resensitized K562DR cells to dasatinib treatment in a murine xenograft transplantation model. TKI treatment-induced drug resistance is correlated with a decrease of miR-217 and upregulation of AGR2. The miR-217/AGR2 interaction might be a potential therapeutic target in treating CML patients with TKI resistance.
