Cell Death Discov 2023; 9:266. [PMID: 37500645 PMCID: PMC10374529 DOI: 10.1038/s41420-023-01558-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/07/2023] [Revised: 06/20/2023] [Accepted: 07/14/2023] [Indexed: 07/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Arsenic trioxide is a first-line treatment drug for acute promyelocytic leukemia, which is also effective for other kinds of leukemia. Its side effects, however, limit its clinical application, especially for patients with complex leukemia symptoms. Combination therapy can effectively alleviate these problems. This review summarizes the research progress on the combination of arsenic trioxide with anticancer drugs, vitamin and vitamin analogs, plant products, and other kinds of drugs in the treatment of leukemia. Additionally, the new progress in arsenic trioxide-induced cardiotoxicity was summarized. This review aims to provide new insights for the rational clinical application of arsenic trioxide.

Iyer SG, Elias L, Stanchina M, Watts J. The treatment of acute promyelocytic leukemia in 2023: Paradigm, advances, and future directions. Front Oncol 2023; 12:1062524. [PMID: 36741714 PMCID: PMC9889825 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2022.1062524] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/06/2022] [Accepted: 12/28/2022] [Indexed: 01/19/2023] Open
Abstract
The transformation of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) from an often fatal to highly curable cancer with long-term survival exceeding 90% is one of the greatest and most inspiring successes in oncology. A deeper understanding of the pathogenesis of APL heralded the introduction of highly effective therapies targeting the mutant protein that drives the disease, leading to the chemotherapy-free approach to cure almost all patients. In this review, we discuss the paradigm of treatment of APL in 2023, reinforce the high risk of early death without prompt initiation of treatment at first clinical suspicion, and dedicate a special focus to novel agents and future directions to improve cure rates and quality of life in patients affected by APL.

DDX5-targeting fully human monoclonal autoantibody inhibits proliferation and promotes differentiation of acute promyelocytic leukemia cells by increasing ROS production. Cell Death Dis 2020; 11:552. [PMID: 32690860 PMCID: PMC7371707 DOI: 10.1038/s41419-020-02759-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/13/2019] [Revised: 07/07/2020] [Accepted: 07/09/2020] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) therapy involves the compounds cytotoxic to both malignant tumor and normal cells. Relapsed APL is resistant to subsequent chemotherapy. Novel agents are in need to kill APL cells selectively with minimal toxicity. DDX5 has been recognized to be a novel target to suppress acute myeloid leukemia (AML). However, the role of DDX5 remains elusive in APL. Here a DDX5-targeting fully human monoclonal autoantibody named after 2F5 was prepared. It is demonstrated that 2F5 selectively inhibited APL cell proliferation without toxicity to normal neutrophil and tissues. Moreover, 2F5 was confirmed to induce G0/G1 phase arrest in APL cells, and promote APL cell differentiation combined with decreased DDX5 expression and increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. Knockdown of DDX5 by siRNA also inhibited proliferation, promoted cell differentiation and enhanced ROS production in APL cells. However, the ROS inhibitor reversed the effects of 2F5 on DDX5 and ROS in APL cells. Thus, we conclude that DDX5-targeting 2F5 inhibits APL cell proliferation, and promotes cell differentiation via induction of ROS. 2F5 showed the therapeutic value of fully human monoclonal autoantibody in APL, which provides a novel and valid approach for treatment of relapse/refractory APL.
