However, how resveratrol exerts its anti-leukemic actions by modulating anti-apoptotic ceramide catabolism enzymes, mainly sphingosine kinase (SK-1) and glucosylceramide synthase (GCS), in FLT3-ITD AML remains unclear. Resveratrol, SKI II (SK inhibitor) and PDMP (GCS inhibitor) were evaluated alone or in combinations for their effect on cell proliferation (MTT assay), apoptosis (annexin V-FITC/PI staining by flow cytometry) and cell cycle progression (PI staining by flow cytometry) in MOLM-13 and MV4-11 cells. The combination indexes (CIs) were calculated based on cell proliferation data using CompuSyn software. Caspase-3 and PARP activation, changes in SK-1 and GCS levels by resveratrol alone or PARP cleavage in co-treatments were determined by western blot. Resveratrol and inhibitors alone inhibited cell proliferation in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Resveratrol downregulated SK-1 and GCS expression in both cell lines. It induced apoptosis by phosphatidylserine (PS) exposure together with caspase-3 and PARP cleavage and arrested the cell cycle slightly at the S phase. Co-administrations intensified resveratrol's effect by inhibiting cell proliferation synergistically (A CI of < 1) or additively (A CI 1.0-1.1) and inducing apoptosis via PS relocalization and PARP cleavage. Resveratrol plus SKI II did not affect cell cycle progression significantly, however, resveratrol plus PDMP blocked cycle progression at G0/G1 and S phases for MOLM-13 cells and MV4-11 cells, respectively. Overall, resveratrol may inhibit FLT3-ITD AML cell proliferation by inhibiting ceramide catabolism and be evaluated as a chemopreventive after detailed analysis of the crosstalk between resveratrol and ceramide catabolism pathway.Article Citation - WoS: 9Citation - Scopus: 11Inhibition of PI3K-AKT-mTOR Pathway and Modulation of Histone Deacetylase Enzymes Reduce the Growth of Acute Myeloid Leukemia Cells(Humana Press inc, 2023-12-26) Sansacar, Merve; Sagir, Helin; Akcok, Emel Basak Gencer; Gencer Akçok, Emel BaşakOne of the most widespread forms of blood cancer is known as acute myeloid leukemia (AML) which has an incidence of 80% with poor prognosis. Although there are different treatment methods for AML in clinic, the heterogeneity and complexity of the disease show that new treatments are needed. The aim of this study is to investigate the anticancer effects of inhibition of PI3K and HDAC enzymes on CMK and MOLM-13 AML cells lines. We demonstrated that the combination of LY294002 with SAHA and Tubastatin A significantly decreased the cell viability of both cell lines. In contrast, the LY294002 and PCI-34051 combination did not show a significant difference compared to the single LY294002 administration. The combination treatment of LY294002 and HDAC inhibitors did not induce apoptosis significantly. However, LY294002 + SAHA and LY294002 + PCI-34051 resulted in G0/G1 and G2/M cell cycle arrest in CMK cells, respectively. On the other hand, compared to control cells, LY294002 + SAHA and LY294002 + PCI-34051 led to G0/G1 phase arrest in MOLM-13. Furthermore, the LY294002 + PCI-34051 combination elevated the expression rate of LC3BII/I, an autophagy marker, in CMK cells by 2.5-fold. Our study revealed that the combinations of PI3K inhibitor and HDAC inhibitors showed a synergistic effect and caused a reduction in cell viability and increased cell cycle arrest on MOLM-13 and CMK cell lines. In addition, the expression of LC3BII was elevated in the CMK cell line. In conclusion, although more mechanistic studies are required, a combinational inhibition of PI3K and HDAC could be a promising approach for AML.
