Novel PIKfyve/Tubulin Dual-target Inhibitor as a Promising Therapeutic Strategy for B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

© 2024. Huazhong University of Science and Technology..

OBJECTIVE: In B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL), current intensive chemotherapies for adult patients fail to achieve durable responses in more than 50% of cases, underscoring the urgent need for new therapeutic regimens for this patient population. The present study aimed to determine whether HZX-02-059, a novel dual-target inhibitor targeting both phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate 5-kinase (PIKfyve) and tubulin, is lethal to B-ALL cells and is a potential therapeutic for B-ALL patients.

METHODS: Cell proliferation, vacuolization, apoptosis, cell cycle, and in-vivo tumor growth were evaluated. In addition, Genome-wide RNA-sequencing studies were conducted to elucidate the mechanisms of action underlying the anti-leukemia activity of HZX-02-059 in B-ALL.

RESULTS: HZX-02-059 was found to inhibit cell proliferation, induce vacuolization, promote apoptosis, block the cell cycle, and reduce in-vivo tumor growth. Downregulation of the p53 pathway and suppression of the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/AKT pathway and the downstream transcription factors c-Myc and NF-κB were responsible for these observations.

CONCLUSION: Overall, these findings suggest that HZX-02-059 is a promising agent for the treatment of B-ALL patients resistant to conventional therapies.
