Ki11502, a novel multitargeted receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor, induces growth arrest and apoptosis of human leukemia cells in vitro and in vivo
Ki11502 is a novel multitargeted receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) inhibitor with selectivity against platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha/beta (PDGFRα/β). Ki11502 (0.1-1 nM, 2 days) profoundly caused growth arrest, G0/G1 cell-cycle arrest, and apoptosis associated with down-regulation of Bcl-2 family proteins in the eosinophilic leukemia EOL-1 cells having the activated FIP1-like 1/PDGFRα fusion gene. Ki11502 decreased levels of p-PDGFRα and its downstream signals, including p-Akt, p-ERK, and p-STAT5, in EOL-1 cells. Of note, Ki11502 was also active against imatinib-resistant PDGFRαT674I mutant. In addition, Ki11502 inhibited proliferation of biphenotipic leukemia MV4-11 and acute myelogenous leukemia MOLM13 and freshly isolated leukemia cells having activating mutations in FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3). This occurred in parallel with the drug inhibiting FLT3 and its downstream signal pathways, as measured by fluorescence-activated cell sorting using the phospho-specific antibodies. In addition, Ki11502 totally inhibited proliferation of EOL-1 cells growing as tumor xenografts in SCID mice without any noticeable adverse effects. Taken together, Ki11502 has profound antiproliferative effects on select subsets of leukemia including those possessing imatinib-resistant mutation
