Moreover, the MDM2 small molecule inhibitor Nutlin-3 significantly increased the levels of SOCS1 mRNA in both primary p53(wild-type) B-CLL cells as well as in p53(wild-type) B leukemic cell lines, but not in p53(mutated) B leukemic cell lines nor in primary PBMC. Of note, a significant inverse correlation was observed between SOCS1 mRNA and miR-155 levels in Nutlin-3-treated primary B-CLL cells and PBMC, suggesting that the miRNA-155/SOCS1 axis represents a potentially important therapeutic target of Nutlin-3 in B-CLL.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22238073?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zauli, Giorgio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Celeghini, Claudio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Melloni, Elisabetta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Voltan, Rebecca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ongari, Manuele</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tiribelli, Mario</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">di Iasio, Maria Grazia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lanza, Francesco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Secchiero, Paola</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The sorafenib plus nutlin-3 combination promotes synergistic cytotoxicity in acute myeloid leukemic cells irrespectively of FLT3 and p53 status.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Haematologica</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Haematologica</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Antineoplastic Agents</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Drug Synergism</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">fms-Like Tyrosine Kinase 3</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">HL-60 Cells</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Imidazoles</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Leukemia, Myeloid, Acute</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Male</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Niacinamide</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Phenylurea Compounds</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Piperazines</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tumor Suppressor Protein p53</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2012</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2012 Nov</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">97</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1722-30</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;BACKGROUND: &lt;/b&gt;Both the multi-kinase inhibitor sorafenib and the small molecule inhibitor of the MDM2/p53 interaction, nutlin-3, used alone, have shown promising anti-leukemic activity in acute myeloid leukemia cells. Thus, in this study we investigated the effect of the combination of sorafenib plus nutlin-3 in acute myeloid leukemia.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;DESIGN AND METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;Primary acute myeloid leukemia blasts (n=13) and FLT3(wild-type)/p53(wild-type) (OCI-AML3), FLT3(mutated)/p53(wild-type) (MOLM), FLT3(mutated)/p53(mutated) (MV4-11), FLT3(wild-type)/p53(deleted) (HL60) or FLT3(wild-type)/p53(mutated) (NB4) acute myeloid cell lines were exposed to sorafenib, used alone or in association with nutlin-3 at a 1:1 ratio, in a range of clinically achievable concentrations (1-10 μM). Induction of apoptosis and autophagy was evaluated by transmission electron microscopy and by specific flow cytometry analyses. The levels of Mcl-1, p53 and Bak proteins were analyzed by western blotting. Knock-down of Bax and Bak gene expression was performed in transfection experiments with specific short interfering RNA.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;The sorafenib+nutlin-3 drug combination exhibits synergistic cytotoxicity in primary acute myeloid leukemia blasts and in acute myeloid leukemia cell lines with maximal cytotoxicity in FLT3(mutated) MV4-11 and MOLM, followed by the FLT3(wild-type) OCI-AML3, HL60 and NB4 cell lines. The cytotoxic activity of sorafenib+nutlin-3 was characterized by an increase of both apoptosis and autophagy. Moreover, Bax and Bak showed prominent roles in mediating the decrease of cell viability in response to the drug combination in p53(wild-type) OCI-AML3 and p53(deleted) HL-60 cells, respectively, as demonstrated in transfection experiments performed with specific short interfering RNA.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Our data demonstrate that acute myeloid leukemia cells show a variable but overall good susceptibility to the innovative therapeutic combination of sorafenib+nutlin-3, which differentially involves the pro-apoptotic Bcl-2 family members Bax and Bak in p53(wild-type) and p53(deleted) cells.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">11</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22689683?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record></records></xml>
