    Phenotypically Plastic Drug-Resistant Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia Cell Line Displays Enhanced Cellular Dynamics in a Zebrafish Xenograft Model
    (Wiley, 2024) Baykal, Seda; Yuce, Zeynep; Ozhan, Gunes
    Understanding the mechanisms by which cancer cells switch between different adaptive states and evade therapeutic interventions is essential for clinical management. In this study, the in vivo cellular dynamics of a new chronic myeloid leukaemia cell line displaying altered phenotype and resistance to tyrosine kinase inhibitors were investigated in correlation with their parental cells for invasiveness/metastasis, angiogenic potential and population kinetics. We showed that the cells exhibiting drug resistance and plastic phenotype possess an increased capacity for invasion compared to their parental cells, that exposure to imatinib mesylate has the potential to enhance cellular motility and that in a leukaemic cell population, even a minority of plastic cells exhibit improved migratory ability. Furthermore, we show that these plastic cells have angiogenic and extravasation potential. The present study provides significant insights into the cellular dynamics displayed by a TKI-resistant, phenotypically plastic CML cell line, using a zebrafish (Danio rerio) xenograft model.

    Suppression of STAT5A and STAT5B Chronic Myeloid Leukemia Cells Via SiRNA and Antisense-Oligonucleotide Applications With the Induction of Apoptosis

    Signal transducers and activators of transcription ( STAT) proteins function in the JAK/STAT signaling pathway and are activated by phosphorylation. As a result of this signaling event, they affect many cellular processes including cell growth, proliferation, differentiation, and survival. Increases in the expressions of STAT5A and STAT5B play a remarkable role in the development of leukemia in which leukemic cells gain uncontrolled proliferation and angiogenesis ability. At the same time, these cells acquire ability to escape from apoptosis and host immune system. In this study, we aimed to suppress STAT-5A and -5B genes in K562 CML cells by siRNA transfection and antisense oligonucleotides (ODN) targeting and then to evaluate apoptosis rate. Finally, we compared the transfection efficiencies of these approaches. Quantitative RT-PCR and Western blot results indicated that STAT expressions were downregulated at both mRNA and protein levels following siRNA transfection. However, electroporation mediated ODN transfection could only provide limited suppression rates at mRNA and protein levels. Moreover, it was displayed that apoptosis were significantly induced in siRNA treated leukemic cells as compared to ODN treated cells. As a conclusion, siRNA applications were found to be more effective in terms of gene silencing when compared to ODN treatment based on the higher apoptosis and mRNA suppression rates. siRNA application could be a new and alternative curative method as a supporting therapy in CML patients.
