Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is characterized by the rapid proliferation of mutagenic hematopoietic progenitors in the bone marrow. Conventional therapies include chemotherapy and bone marrow stem cell transplantation; however, they are often associated with poor prognosis. Notably, growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) receptor antagonist MIA-602 has been shown to impede the growth of various human cancer cell lines, including AML. This investigation examined the impact of MIA-602 as monotherapy and in combination with Doxorubicin on three Doxorubicin-resistant AML cell lines, KG-1A, U-937, and K-562. The results revealed a significant reduction in cell viability for all treated wild-type cells. Doxorubicin-resistant clones were similarly susceptible to MIA-602 as the wild-type counterpart. Our experiment of xenografted nude mice with Doxorubicin-resistant K-562 revealed a reduction in tumor volume with MIA-602 treatment compared to control. Our study demonstrates that these three AML cell lines, and their Doxorubicin-resistant clones, are susceptible to GHRH antagonist MIA-602.
急性髓细胞白血病(AML)的特征是骨髓中突变的造血祖细胞快速增殖。常规疗法包括化疗和骨髓干细胞移植,但它们通常与预后不良相关。值得注意的是,生长激素释放激素(GHRH)受体拮抗剂 MIA-602 已被证明可阻碍包括 AML 在内的多种人类癌细胞系的生长。本研究考察了 MIA-602 单药治疗和联合多柔比星对三种多柔比星耐药 AML 细胞系 KG-1A、U-937 和 K-562 的影响。结果表明,所有经处理的野生型细胞的细胞活力均显著降低。多柔比星耐药克隆与野生型细胞一样容易受到 MIA-602 的影响。我们用多柔比星耐药 K-562 进行的异种移植裸鼠实验表明,与对照组相比,MIA-602 治疗可减少肿瘤体积。我们的研究表明,这三种 AML 细胞系及其多柔比星耐药克隆对 GHRH 拮抗剂 MIA-602 敏感。
