Summary |
This study revealed pathogenic role of pre-BCR-independent SYK activation in high-risk B-ALL. Intensified and central nervous system (CNS)-directed chemotherapy has significantly improved outcomes for pediatric B-acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL), but confers significant late-effect morbidities. Moreover, many patients suffer relapses, underscoring the need to develop novel, molecularly targeted B-ALL therapies. Using a mouse model, we showed that leukemic B-cells require pre-B-cell receptor (pre-BCR)-independent spleen tyrosine kinase (SYK) signaling in vivo. In diagnostic samples from human B-ALL patients, SYK and downstream targets were phosphorylated regardless of pre-BCR expression or genetic subtype. Two small molecule SYK inhibitors, fostamatinib and BAY61-3606, attenuated growth of 69 B-ALL samples, including high-risk (HR) subtypes. Orally administered fostamatinib significantly reduced high disease burden after xenotransplantation of HR B-ALL samples into immune-deficient mice, and decreased leukemia dissemination into spleen, liver, kidneys and the CNS of recipients. Thus, SYK activation sustains growth of multiple HR B-ALL subtypes, suggesting that SYK inhibitors may improve outcomes for HR and relapsed B-ALL.
