The complexities of GSK-3β function and interactions with PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling, cell cycling, and apoptotic pathways are poorly understood in the context of lymphomagenesis and cancer therapeutics. In this study, we explored the anti-tumor effects of the GSK-3β inhibitor, 9-ING-41, in lymphoma cell lines as a single agent and in combination with novel agents comprising BCL-2 inhibitor (Venetoclax), CDK-9 inhibitor (BAY-1143572) and p110δ-PI3K inhibitor (Idelalisib). Treatment of Daudi, SUDHL-4, Karpas 422, KPUM-UH1, and TMD8 lymphoma cell lines with 1 μM 9-ING-41 reduced cell viability by 40-70% (p<0.05) and halted proliferation. Luminex analysis of apoptotic pathways revealed a significant increase in active caspase 3 in all lymphoma cell lines (p<0.001) except TMD8 cells. Co-treating SUDHL-4 and KPUM-UH1 lymphoma cells with 0.5 μM 9-ING-41 showed 8-and 2-fold reduction in IC values of Venetoclax, respectively. No significant benefit for this combination was seen in other lymphoma cells tested. The combination of BAY-1143572 with 0.5 μM 9-ING-41 showed an 8-fold reduction in the IC value of the former in SUDHL-4 lymphoma cells alone. No significant changes in IC values of Idelalisib were measured across all cell lines for the combination of 9-ING-41 and Idelalisib. Further, signaling analysis via Western blot in the double-hit lymphoma cell line, KPUM-UH1, suggests that phospho-c-MYC is modified with 9-ING-41 treatment. Altogether, our data show that 9-ING-41 results in increased apoptosis and decreased proliferation in aggressive B-cell lymphoma cells and enhances the antitumor effects of BCL-2 and CDK-9 antagonists.
在淋巴瘤发生和癌症治疗的背景下,人们对GSK-3β功能以及与PI3K/AKT/mTOR信号传导、细胞周期和凋亡途径的相互作用的复杂性了解甚少。在本研究中,我们探究了GSK-3β抑制剂9-ING-41对淋巴瘤细胞系的抗肿瘤作用,它既作为单一药物,也与包括BCL-2抑制剂(维奈托克)、CDK-9抑制剂(BAY-1143572)和p110δ-PI3K抑制剂(idelalisib)在内的新型药物联合使用。用1 μM 9-ING-41处理Daudi、SUDHL-4、Karpas 422、KPUM-UH1和TMD8淋巴瘤细胞系可使细胞活力降低40-70%(p<0.05)并停止增殖。对凋亡途径的Luminex分析显示,除TMD8细胞外,所有淋巴瘤细胞系中活性半胱天冬酶3均显著增加(p<0.001)。用0.5 μM 9-ING-41共同处理SUDHL-4和KPUM-UH1淋巴瘤细胞时,维奈托克的IC值分别降低了8倍和2倍。在测试的其他淋巴瘤细胞中,未观察到这种联合用药有显著益处。仅在SUDHL-4淋巴瘤细胞中,BAY-1143572与0.5 μM 9-ING-41联合使用时,前者的IC值降低了8倍。对于9-ING-41和idelalisib的联合使用,在所有细胞系中均未检测到idelalisib的IC值有显著变化。此外,在双打击淋巴瘤细胞系KPUM-UH1中通过蛋白质印迹进行的信号分析表明,用9-ING-41处理后磷酸化c-MYC发生了改变。总之,我们的数据表明,9-ING-41可导致侵袭性B细胞淋巴瘤细胞凋亡增加、增殖减少,并增强BCL-2和CDK-9拮抗剂的抗肿瘤作用。
