الوصف: | The anti-apoptotic proteins Bcl-XL and Bcl-2 are abundantly expressed in hematopoietic stem cells and/or progenitor cells. Furthermore, leukemic cells expressing these proteins are enriched in minimal residual disease cell populations. This prompted us to test the BH3-mimetic compound ABT-737 for its ability to eradicate putative leukemic stem cells. ABT-737 demonstrated potent cytotoxic effects in all patient samples tested. The efficacy of ABT-737 against AML blasts and the primitive CD34+/CD38− population was equal and independent of sensitivity to cytarabine/daunorubicin. These results, together with previously reported synergistic effects of ABT-737 with chemotherapeutics make BH3-mimetics promising candidates for future AML treatment regimens. Highlights • ABT-737 potently kills AML blast cells. • ABT-737 has a cytotoxic effect against both bone marrow-derived AML blasts and putative Leukemic Stem cells (pLSCs). • ABT-737 has an equally high cytotoxic efficacy in disseminated AML putative Leukemic Stem cells (pLSCs). |
