Abstract

Anti-apoptotic pathways play a central role in the survival of multiple myeloma cells. The contribution of PI3-kinase and Akt kinase in mediating myeloma cell survival is well established although the role of glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK3) is less defined. In this study we determined the contribution of GSK3 in growth regulation of myeloma cells. We treated six different multiple myeloma cell lines with a Thiadiazolidinone (TDZD), a non-competitive inhibitor of GSK3 and determined its effects on proliferation and apoptosis. In addition we determined the activation of forkhead transcription factors (FOXO) in response to TDZD. TDZD inhibited proliferation and induced apoptosis of all myeloma cell lines. TDZD was also effective in inducing apoptosis of primary myeloma cells whereas CD34 positive normal hematopoietic cells were protected from apoptosis. Furthermore, TDZD-mediated inhibition of GSK3 resulted in dephosphorylation and activation of FOXO3a. In primary myeloma cells FOXO transcription factors were highly phosphorylated where as the levels of GSK3 phosphorylation was quite low. The levels of the pro-apoptotic proteins Fas ligand (FasL) and IkappaBalpha increased after treatment with TDZD in myeloma cell lines. These s...Continue Reading

AKT Pathway

This feed focuses on the AKT serine/threonine kinase, which is an important signaling pathway involved in processes such as glucose metabolism and cell survival.

CNS Lymphoma

In CNS lymphoma, cancerous cells from lymph tissues or other parts of the body form tumors in the brain and/or spinal cord. Here is the latest research on this rare non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
