pubmed:abstractText
Blast cell survival in suspension culture is associated with chemoresistance in acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). Autonomous production of IL-1beta by AML blasts is linked with a proliferative response, although its role in survival and hence apoptosis-resistance has not been examined in this disease. Cells that secreted more than 19.7 pg/ml IL-1beta were significantly more resistant to spontaneous apoptosis in 48-h culture than those that produced less than 19.7 pg/ml IL-1beta (P=0.008). Exogenous rhIL-1beta significantly enhanced 48-h survival in 25/29 blast cell samples (P=0.0001). IL-1 receptor ligation is known to activate at least three survival pathways: those mediated by PI-3 kinase, IL-1 receptor-associated kinase (IRAK) and ceramidase. In apoptosis-sensitive AML blasts with a strong survival response to rhIL-1beta, inhibitors of all three pathways down-modulated an IL-1beta-mediated increase in blast survival, but only the inhibition of all three pathways totally eliminated viable blasts. In apoptosis-resistant and apoptosis-sensitive primary AML samples, the three inhibitors all increased apoptosis in vitro after 48 h. Exogenous rhIL-1beta induced the hyperphosphorylation of Bcl-2. It also increased the activation of NF-kappaB in 5/15 blast samples. IL-1beta-mediated survival pathways may be a factor in apoptosis-resistance in primary AML blasts, and may therefore contribute to chemoresistance.
