DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Chromosomal translocation t(9;22) is responsible for appearance of an oncogene encoding BCR/ABL fusion tyrosine kinase, which induce chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) and a cohort of acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL). CML usually starts as a relatively benign chronic phase (CML-CP), which progresses to an aggressive disease - blast crisis (CML-BC). Malignant transformation of the disease is associated with accumulation of additional genetic errors. Imatinib mesylate (IM), a small molecule inhibitor of BCR/ABL kinase, revolutionized the treatment of CML-CP. Unfortunately patients may develop resistance to the drug caused by point mutations encoding amino acid substitutions in the BCR/ABL kinase domain. In conclusion, CML cells display genomic instability leading to resistance to IM and malignant progression of the disease. This proposal is focused on determination the mechanisms responsible for these phenomena and subsequently on prevention/inhibition of the development of IM resistance and CML-BC. BCR/ABL kinase stimulates numerous signaling pathways to induce and maintain transformation of hematopoietic cells. We, and others found that phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase (PI-3k) play an essential role in growth factor independent proliferation and protection from apoptosis in CML. Here we propose to study the role of PI-3k and its downstream effectors Akt and Rac in genomic instability in CML stem and progenitor cell populations. Using genetic approach (dominant-negative mutants, siRNA, antisense cDNA, knockout mice) and small molecule inhibitors (for example perifosine, NSC23766) we will determine how PI-3k and its downstream effectors generate the reactive oxygen species (ROS), which in turn may cause oxidative DNA damage and facilitate genomic instability. Long-term in vitro culture and mouse models of CML will be applied here. IM resistance will be detected in clonogenic assays and by sequencing BCR/ABL kinase domain, and chromosomal aberrations will be detected by SNPs and SKY. If successfully accomplished, these experiments will determine if PI-3k pathway inhibitors should be used to improve therapeutic effect of IM and prevent/delay CML progression toward lethal blast crisis. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Although tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) revolutionized the treatment of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), patients can develop resistance to the drug and progress toward fatal malignant blast crisis of the disease. Both phenomena are associated with genetic instability caused by oncogenic BCR/ABL kinase. We will investigate the mechanisms responsible for mutations in BCR/ABL kinase causing TKI-resistance and for chromosomal aberrations leading to blast crisis. Molecular mechanisms of BCR/ABL-dependent phosphatidylinositol (PI-3k)-mediated production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) causing oxidative DNA damage, mutations, and chromosomal aberrations will be determined.

描述（由申请人提供）：染色体易位T（9; 22）负责造成慢性粒细胞性白血病（CML）和急性淋巴细胞性白血病的癌细胞量编码BCR/ABL融合酪氨酸激酶的外观。 CML通常以相对良性的慢性相（CML-CP）开始，该期发展为侵略性疾病 - 爆炸危机（CML-BC）。该疾病的恶性转化与其他遗传错误的积累有关。 伊马替尼梅赛酸盐（IM）是BCR/ABL激酶的小分子抑制剂，彻底改变了CML-CP的处理。不幸的是，患者可能会因编码BCR/ABL激酶结构域中编码氨基酸取代的点突变引起的药物而产生抗药性。 总之，CML细胞表现出基因组不稳定性，导致对IM的抗性和疾病的恶性进展。该提案的重点是确定负责这些现象的机制，然后是预防/抑制IM耐药性和CML-BC的发展。 BCR/ABL激酶刺激众多信号通路诱导和维持造血细胞的转化。我们和其他人发现，磷脂酰肌醇-3激酶（PI-3K）在独立于生长因子无关的增殖中起着至关重要的作用，并免受CML凋亡的保护。 在这里，我们建议研究PI-3K及其下游效应子AKT和RAC在CML茎和祖细胞群体中基因组不稳定性中的作用。使用遗传方法（主要阴性突变体，siRNA，反义cDNA，基因敲除小鼠）和小分子抑制剂（例如perifosine，nsc23766），我们将确定PI-3K及其下游效应子如何产生反应性氧（ROS），从而导致氧化DNA损伤和氧化型基因性造成基因性损害。在这里将应用长期的体外培养和CML小鼠模型。在克隆性测定中将检测到IM抗性，并通过对BCR/ABL激酶结构域进行测序，并将通过SNP和SKY检测染色体畸变。 如果成功完成，这些实验将确定是否应使用PI-3K途径抑制剂来改善IM的治疗效应，并防止/延迟CML向致命的爆炸危机发展。 公共卫生相关性：尽管酪氨酸激酶抑制剂（TKIS）彻底改变了慢性骨髓性白血病（CML）的治疗，但患者可以发展对药物的抵抗力，并朝着该疾病的致命恶性爆炸危机方面发展。两种现象都与致癌BCR/ABL激酶引起的遗传不稳定性有关。我们将研究导致BCR/ABL激酶突变的机制，导致TKI抗性以及导致爆炸危机的染色体畸变。 BCR/ABL依赖性磷脂酰肌醇（PI-3K）介导的活性氧（ROS）产生的分子机制将确定氧化性DNA损伤，突变和染色体像差。
