The anti-leukemia agent forodesine causes cytotoxic overload of intracellular deoxyguanosine triphosphate (dGTP) but is efficacious only in a subset of patients. We report that SAMHD1, a phosphohydrolase degrading deoxyribonucleoside triphosphate (dNTP), protects cells against the effects of dNTP imbalances. SAMHD1-deficient cells induce intrinsic apoptosis upon provision of deoxyribonucleosides, particularly deoxyguanosine (dG). Moreover, dG and forodesine act synergistically to kill cells lacking SAMHD1. Using mass cytometry, we find that these compounds kill SAMHD1-deficient malignant cells in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Normal cells and CLL cells from patients without SAMHD1 mutation are unaffected. We therefore propose to use forodesine as a precision medicine for leukemia, stratifying patients by SAMHD1 genotype or expression.
抗白血病药物福达华会导致细胞内三磷酸脱氧鸟苷(dGTP)的细胞毒性过载,但仅对一部分患者有效。我们报告称,SAMHD1是一种降解三磷酸脱氧核糖核苷(dNTP)的磷酸水解酶,可保护细胞免受dNTP失衡的影响。缺乏SAMHD1的细胞在提供脱氧核苷,特别是脱氧鸟苷(dG)后会诱导内源性凋亡。此外,dG和福达华协同作用杀死缺乏SAMHD1的细胞。使用质谱流式细胞术,我们发现这些化合物可杀死慢性淋巴细胞白血病(CLL)患者中缺乏SAMHD1的恶性细胞。来自无SAMHD1突变患者的正常细胞和CLL细胞不受影响。因此,我们建议将福达华用作白血病的精准药物,根据SAMHD1基因型或表达对患者进行分层。
