Induction of IFIT1/IFIT3 and inhibition of Bcl-2 orchestrate the treatment of myeloma and leukemia via pyroptosis

Induction of pyroptosis is proposed as a promising strategy for the treatment of hematological malignancies, but little is known. In the present study, we find clioquinol (CLQ), an anti-parasitic drug, induces striking myeloma and leukemia cell pyroptosis on a drug screen. RNA sequencing reveals that the interferon-inducible genes IFIT1 and IFIT3 are markedly upregulated and are essential for CLQ-induced GSDME activation and cell pyroptosis. Specifically, IFIT1 and IFIT3 form a complex with BAX and N-GSDME therefore directing N-GSDME translocalization to mitochondria and increasing mitochondrial membrane permeabilization and triggering pyroptosis. Furthermore, venetoclax, an activator of BAX and an inhibitor of Bcl-2, displays strikingly synergistic effects with CLQ against leukemia and myeloma via pyroptosis. This study thus reveals a novel mechanism for mitochondrial GSDME in pyroptosis and it also illustrates that induction of IFIT1/T3 and inhibition of Bcl-2 orchestrate the treatment of leukemia and myeloma via pyroptosis.
