Abstract

Abstract Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) as the second most common hematological malignancy remains currently incurable. In this study, we found the protein disulphide isomerase family (PDIs) was expressed in primary leukemia cells, with particular emphasis on ERP5 and ERP57. The compound PACMA31 demonstrated the ability to inhibit proliferation, enhance differentiation, exacerbate oxidative stress, and induce apoptosis in AML cells. RNA sequencing analysis revealed that PACMA31 impeded the proliferation of AML cells by modulating the unfolded protein response (UPR). Notably, Western blot results indicated that the antiproliferative effects of PACMA31 were mediated through the PERK/eIF2α signaling pathway. The selective inhibition of PDIs activity collectively induces apoptosis and differentiation in AML cells by activating the UPR via the PERK/eIF2α pathway. Consequently, PDIs inhibitors may represent promising candidates for the development of antitumor therapeutics against AML.

Introduction Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a clonal malignant proliferative disorder of the hematopoietic system, characterized by significant heterogeneity and marked by uncontrolled proliferation of myeloid precursor cells and disturbances in differentiation [ 1 ]. Over the past decade, advancements in novel therapeutic agents and the implementation of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) have led to a significant improvement in overall survival (OS) for AML patients [ 2 , 3 ]. Yet, the 5-year OS rate for AML patients under the age of 60 was approximately 40%, conversely, for individuals aged 65 and older, the median OS is only 4 months. Furthermore, even in cases where complete remission was achieved, approximately 70% of patients experience relapse within 5 years. This phenomenon could be attributed to the protective role of the bone marrow microenvironment (BMM) for AML cells and the clonal selection that facilitates the emergence of therapy-resistant clones [ 4 – 6 ] Consequently, there was an urgent need to identify novel therapeutic targets and develop innovative treatment strategies for AML patients and healthcare providers [ 7 ]. The endoplasmic reticulum (ER), recognized as the largest organelle within the cell, primarily functions in protein folding, post-translational modification, maturation of proteins, calcium metabolism, and lipid synthesis [ 8 – 9 ]. Nonetheless, various intrinsic and extrinsic factors, including oxidative stress, hypoxia, and deprivation of calcium or glucose, can disrupt ER functionality, thereby triggering a cytoprotective signaling pathway known as the ER stress response or unfolded protein response (UPR) [ 10 ]. This response involved the activation of three key signaling pathways: pancreatic eukaryotic initiation factor 2B kinase (PERK), inositol-requiring enzyme 1α (IRE1α), and activating transcription factor 6 (ATF6), which aimed to mitigate ER stress by reducing protein synthesis, enhancing the levels of chaperones to facilitate proper protein folding, and promoting protein degradation [ 11 ]. The unfolded protein response (UPR) was particularly significant in the context of leukemogenesis, as it supported the survival of leukemic cells and their resistance to chemotherapy, influenced by the production of mutated proteins and the surrounding bone marrow microenvironment [ 12 ]. Previous studies had indicated that markers indicative of activated UPR signaling, such as sXBP1 and elevated expression of UPR-activated genes like p-IRE1α and protein disulphide isomerase (PDI), were present in approximately 25% of samples from patients with AML [ 13 ]. The PDI family, classified as endoplasmic ER-thiodisulfide oxidoreductases, comprised 21 enzymes that possess a conserved thioredoxin-like catalytic redox center characterized by pairs of reactive cysteine residues [ 14 ]. These enzymes facilitated the formation, cleavage, and rearrangement of disulfide bonds while also exhibiting chaperone protein activity. Due to their dual functionality as oxidoreductases and molecular chaperones, PDIs were integral to the processes of protein folding and oxidation. Given that proteotoxic and oxidative stress are increasingly recognized as phenotypic markers of cancer, recent studies have demonstrated that proteins within the PDI family are significantly overexpressed in both cancerous tissues and cancer cell lines [ 15 ]. Members PDI family function as oncogenes and play significant roles in the development and progression of various cancers, encompassing processes such as cellular proliferation, invasion, metastasis, and resistance to chemotherapy. For instance, PDI had been shown to influence the onset and advancement of colorectal cancer by modulating the apoptosis signaling pathway and the oxidative stress within the endoplasmic reticulum [ 16 ]; PDIA4 facilitated the development of renal cell carcinoma through the regulation of the ATF4/SLC7A11 pathway, which serves to inhibit ferroptosis [ 17 ]. The upregulation of PDIA3 had been implicated in the progression of renal cell carcinoma by initiating a feedback loop involving STAT3; Furthermore, PDIA4 was considered to be associated with the tumorigenesis of triple-negative breast cancer and the resistance to radiotherapy, primarily through the modulation of the JNK signaling pathway [ 18 ]. In chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), Chevet et al. found that the overexpression of PDIA5 in CML was associated with increased resistance to imatinib [ 19 ]. Nevertheless, the connection between the expression of PDIs and AML remains largely unexplored. Propynoic acid carbamoylmethyl amide (PACMA31), an irreversible inhibitor of PDIs, had demonstrated efficacy against ERP5, ERP57, PDI, and ERP46 [ 20 ]. Recent researches indicated that PACMA31 might disrupt proteostasis and induce cell death through various pathways in ovarian cancer cells [ 21 ], as well as enhance sensitivity to sorafenib in sorafenib-resistant hepatocellular carcinoma [ 22 ]. However, the effects of PACMA31 on the proliferation and differentiation of AML cells have yet to be clarified. Moreover, the relationship between PDIs and chemotherapy resistance, as well as relapse in AML, remains ambiguous. Therefore, the objective of this study was to target PDI family proteins in order to disrupt ER protein homeostasis, thereby facilitating the transition from an adaptive UPR to a pro-apoptotic UPR, with the aim of enhancing treatment efficacy in AML. Materials and methods Patients Clinical data were obtained from the medical records of patients diagnosed with AML at the Department of Hematology, The Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University in Shijiazhuang, China. Between February 2023 and December 2023, a total of 29 patients were enrolled in this study, each with comprehensive diagnostic information. Additionally, 9 healthy individuals, matched for age and sex, were included as a control group. Gene mutations in NPM1, FLT3-ITD, CEBPA, DNMT3A, IDH1, and IDH2 were assessed through whole-genome sequencing. Patient characteristics are presented in Table 1 and 2, utilizing descriptive statistical methods. This study received approval from the Medical Ethics Committee of the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University, and all participants provided written informed consent. Cell culture The cell lines Kasumi-1, SKNO-1, MOLM-13, NB4, and HL-60 were generously provided by P. H. Chen Suning. THP-1 cells were sourced from the American Type Culture Collection. Leukemia blast cells (BMMNCs) were isolated from the bone marrow of patients diagnosed with AML and were characterized by flow cytometry, achieving a purity exceeding 95%. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMNCs) were obtained from venous blood samples collected from healthy donors, as previously documented. All cell lines were maintained in RPMI-1640 medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) and 1% penicillin-streptomycin sulfate. RT-PCR Total RNA was extracted from BMMNCs or healthy control PBMNCs (HC-PBMNCs) utilizing Trizol reagent (Life Technologies) in accordance with the manufacturer's protocol. Subsequently, 500 ng of the isolated RNA was reverse transcribed into complementary DNA (cDNA) employing the Superscript II cDNA synthesis kit (Invitrogen). The expression levels of PDI genes were analyzed using the SYBR Green method (Finnzymes F410L, Thermo Scientific, Rockford, IL, USA). The primers specific to the PDI genes were detailed in Table 3. The cycle threshold (Ct) values were normalized against the ACTB gene, and the relative fold changes in expression were determined using the 2-ΔΔCt method. Cell viability assays Kasumi-1, SKNO-1, MOLM-13, NB4, HL-60, and THP-1 cell lines were cultured in a 96-well plate at a density of 5×10 3 cells per well. Following the specified treatment, the cells were incubated for an additional 1.5 hours with 10 µL of Cell Counting Kit-8 solution. The absorbance was subsequently measured at 450nm using a SpectraMax M5 spectrophotometer (Molecular Devices, USA). Flow cytometric analysis Kasumi-1 cells were cultured in 6-well plates at a density of 3×10 6 cells per well and subsequently treated with PACMA31 for durations of 6, 12, and 24 h. Following the treatment, the cells were harvested by centrifugation at 300 g for 5 minutes and washed three times with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). Apoptosis was evaluated using an Annexin V-PE/7-AAD Apoptosis Detection Kit (Yeasen Biotechnology, Shanghai, China), while cell cycle analysis was conducted utilizing a Cell Cycle and Apoptosis Analysis Kit. Oxidative stress measurement Following treatment, cells were harvested, washed with PBS, and incubated in the dark at 37°C for 30 minutes with the cell-permeable probe 2',7'-dichlorofluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA). Subsequently, DCF fluorescence was quantified using flow cytometry, with an excitation wavelength set at 488 nm and an emission wavelength at 535 nm. Lipid peroxidation within the cells was assessed using the C11 BODIPY 581/591 fluorescent probe, also incubated at 37°C for 30 minutes, and measurements were taken under the Texas Red (590 nm) and FITC (510 nm) channels. Additionally, inhibitors were utilized to elucidate the relationship between reactive oxygen species (ROS), mitochondrial function, and apoptosis. Cells were treated with 5 mM N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) and 10 μM Z-VAD-FMK, respectively, prior to exposure to PACMA31 for the specified duration. The alterations in apoptosis were evaluated as previously described. Determination of intracellular Free Ca2+ and MMP KASUMI-1 cells cultured in 6-well plates were subjected to varying concentrations of PACMA31 (0.3125, 0.625, 1.25, and 2.5 μM) for a duration of 6 h. Following the treatment, the cells were rinsed twice with PBS and subsequently stained with Fluo-4 AM in accordance with the manufacturer's protocol. The fluorescence of the stained cells was then quantified using a microplate reader. For the assessment of MMP, cells were harvested after PACMA31 treatment for different time intervals and incubated with 10 nM tetramethylrhodamine methyl ester perchlorate (TMRE) for 30 minutes at 37°C. TMRE, a cationic fluorophore commonly employed for staining cellular mitochondria and mitochondrial matrices, was utilized to evaluate the percentage of cells exhibiting MMP, which was also analyzed using a microplate reader. Transcriptome sequencing In the context of RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) experiments, KASUMI-1 cells were subjected to treatment with PACMA31 or a control vehicle for a duration of six hours. Total RNA was extracted from the cells utilizing TRIzol reagent (Invitrogen). The RNA expression profiles of KASUMI-1 AML cells, following treatment with PACMA31 or the vector control, were subsequently submitted to a specialized testing facility (Wei Huan, Shanghai, China) for high-throughput transcriptome sequencing. The DESeq2 R package was employed to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between the two experimental groups. Genes exhibiting a log2 fold change greater than 1.0 and a p-value of less than 0.05 were classified as differentially expressed, with the absolute value of the log2 fold change utilized for ranking purposes. Furthermore, the ClusterProfiler R package was utilized to assess the statistical enrichment of the DEGs within Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathways. Western blot analysis Protein levels in KASUMI-1 cell extracts were evaluated using a Western blot assay to investigate the effects of varying concentrations of PACMA31. The protein samples were transferred to nitrocellulose membranes and subsequently incubated with primary antibodies diluted to a concentration of 1:1000. Following this, secondary antibodies were applied for additional incubation. The standard protocol for Western blotting was adhered to, with comprehensive procedures outlined in prior publications. The primary antibodies utilized included PARP, Caspase3, γH2AX, Bip, PERK, P-PERK, CHOP, eIF2α, P-eIF2α, XBP1, XBP1S, and ATF6, all sourced from Cell Signaling Technology (Shanghai, China). GAPDH and Tubulin antibodies served as internal controls. Statistical analysis The data utilized in this study were analyzed using GraphPad Prism 8 software. Protein quantification was performed with ImageJ, and all protein levels were normalized against a loading control. Each experimental procedure was conducted in triplicate. Mean values and standard deviations (SDs) were computed. Comparisons between two groups were conducted using an unpaired t-test, while comparisons among multiple groups were performed using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Tukey’s post hoc test. A p-value of less than 0.05 was considered indicative of a statistically significant difference. Results PDI genes expression positively correlated with clinical characteristics In a preliminary investigation of PDI gene expression in AML, we assessed the expression levels of 21 PDI genes in primary BMMNCs obtained from 25 AML patients, as well as in PBMNCs from 9 healthy donors. Additionally, we evaluated AML-derived cell lines, specifically KASUMI-1, NB4, and THP-1. Our findings indicated that the expression of PDI genes was significantly elevated in the BMMNCs of AML patients when compared to the healthy control PBMNCs (Fig1A). PACMA31 has a significant cytotoxicity on AML and demonstrate synergistic anti-leukemia efficacy Given the structural and active site similarities among members of the PDI family, our prior study had demonstrated that the PDI inhibitor PACMA31 significantly inhibits various PDI family members, including PDI, ERP46, ERP5, and ERP57, which are notably overexpressed in tumors, particularly ERP5 and ERP57. This inhibitory effect was also shown to be significantly dose-dependent in leukemic cell lines. Following this, we conducted a comprehensive investigation to assess the anti-leukemic properties of PACMA31 in five primary BMMNC samples obtained from patients diagnosed with AML (Fig1C), as well as in three PBMNC samples sourced from healthy donors (Fig1D). The results indicated that PACMA31 effectively inhibited cell proliferation in samples from patients, while no such effect was observed in samples from healthy individuals. To evaluate the anti-leukemia efficacy of PACMA31, chemotherapy, and a targeted drug as monotherapies or in combination, we conducted in vitro experiments examining their impact on the viability of six AML cell lines. The median inhibitory concentration (IC50) values for each single agent were established through dose-response assessments utilizing CCK8 assays following a 48-hour treatment period which values for PACMA31 ranged from 0.002 mM to 3.0 Mm (Fig2A). To investigate the pharmacological interactions between PACMA31 and either chemotherapy or a targeted agent, incremental doses were administered based on the IC50 values of the respective drugs. In two of the six cell lines, the combination of PACMA31 with either VEL or Deci resulted in synergistic growth inhibition, as determined by the Chou-Talalay method of analysis (combination index [CI] < 1.0). Notably, synergy was also observed when PACMA31 was combined with Ara-C (Fig2B, 2C). PACMA31 induced apoptosis of AML cells To investigate the potential mechanisms underlying the growth inhibition of AML cell lines mediated by PACMA31, we initially assessed the impact of PACMA31 on the cell cycle following a 6-hour exposure. Notable accumulation in the G2/M phase and a reduction in the G0/G1 peak were observed post-treatment with PACMA31(Fig3B). Additionally, PACMA31 treatment led to a significant increase in apoptosis when compared to the control group (Fig. 3A,3G). Subsequently, we investigated key molecules involved in the apoptosis pathway, specifically caspase-3, PARP, and γH2AX. Our findings revealed a marked increase in the expression of cleaved-PARP and γH2AX protein levels in the PACMA31-treated group, which was observed to be concentration-dependent (Fig5A). Following this, through the utilization of a microplate reader, we observed that the reduction of PDI activity, along with the resultant increase in cytosolic calcium levels (calcium overload) (Fig3C), could lead to mitochondrial impairment, a decrease in mitochondrial membrane potential(Fig3D), and ultimately, apoptosis in KASUMI-1 cells. In addition, PACMA31 was found to induce apoptosis in AML cells through mechanisms related to oxidative stress. To explore the role of oxidative stress in PACMA31-induced apoptosis, we employed flow cytometry with the redox-sensitive dye CM-H2DCFDA, which demonstrated that treatment of KASUMI-1 cells with PACMA31 resulted in a rapid increase in ROS levels (Fig3E). Subsequently, we investigated whether N-acetylcysteine (NAC) could confer protection to AML cells against ROS-induced apoptosis. The results from Annexin V-PE/7-AAD staining indicated that NAC effectively inhibited the apoptotic effects of PACMA31 in KASUMI-1 cells (Fig3H). As lipid peroxidation was a key parameter to evaluate the oxidative stress, then, BODIPY581/591C11 staining, a lipid peroxidation probe, was applied to measure the level of intracellular lipid oxidation. The lipid peroxidation level of KASUMI-1 cells increased, as the concentration of PACMA31 increased (Fig3F). Potential mechanism of PACMA31 by RNAseq In order to elucidate the impact of PDI activity on global transcription, an RNA sequencing analysis was conducted on KASUMI-1 cells treated with PACMA31. The results revealed that PACMA31 treatment led to significant alterations in the expression of 496 genes, indicating that this compound induces substantial genome-wide changes in gene expression (Fig4A). Furthermore, gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) of the transcriptional data indicated a significant activation of the UPR pathway in cells treated with PACMA31(Fig4B, 4C,4D). The link between PACMA31 and UPR in AML PACMA31 was found to inhibit the activity of enzymes belonging to the PDI family, which subsequently disrupts the redox potential within the cell, leading to the activation of the UPR. To ascertain whether the apoptosis induced by PACMA31 is contingent upon the ER stress pathway, we conducted an analysis of the protein levels of IRE1, ATF6, and PERK-key sensors of ER stress-along with their downstream effectors in AML cell models following a 6-hour treatment with PACMA31, utilizing western blotting techniques. The findings indicated that PACMA31 significantly elevated the expression of PERK and its downstream targets, including phosphorylated eIF2α (P-eIF2α) and phosphorylated PERK (P-PERK), in a dose-dependent manner. Conversely, no alterations were detected in the protein levels of XBP1u, XBP1s, or ATF6. Collectively, these results suggest that PACMA31 induces apoptosis associated with ER stress through the PERK/eIF2α signaling pathway (Fig5B). Discussion For several decades, the basic treatment for AML had involved repeated cycles of intensive chemotherapy utilizing anthracycline and cytarabine. Nonetheless, the development of therapy-resistant clones and the protective role of the bone marrow microenvironment for AML cells had resulted in approximately 50% of AML patients experiencing disease recurrence, with a correspondingly poor prognosis for this population[ 23 ]. Consequently, it is imperative to investigate treatment options that demonstrate high efficacy while minimizing toxicity for AML patients. In the present study, we first reported that the use of the PDI inhibitor PACMA31 was found to significantly inhibit cell proliferation and induce apoptosis in AML cells. Initially, an analysis of gene expression alterations of PDIs in patients with AML was conducted. The results indicated a significant increase in the expression levels of ERP5 and ERP57 in the BMMC of AML patients when compared to healthy individuals. As ER chaperones, PDIs play a crucial role in protecting cells from apoptosis and mediating treatment resistance in solid tumors[ 24 ]. In vitro studies have demonstrated that the knockdown of PDIs via short hairpin RNA (shRNA) can induce terminal differentiation in leukemia cells, resulting in cell cycle arrest followed by cell death. Furthermore, PDIs have the capacity to bind to the stem-loop region of CEBPA mRNA, thereby inhibiting CEBPA expression and ultimately obstructing myeloid differentiation in AML patients experiencing activation of the UPR [ 25 ]. Previous researches had indicated that elevated levels of ERP57 expression are associated with chemoresistance in AML cell lines, and the knockdown of ERP57 enhances the susceptibility of AML cells to chemotherapy agents [ 26 ]. Furthermore, as noted by Arisa et al., the PDIA5/ATF6α signaling pathway plays a significant role in the resistance of leukemia cells to imatinib[ 20 ]. Additionally, our study demonstrated that a small molecule inhibitor (PACMA31) of PDIs effectively reduced the viability of AML cells and induces cell cycle arrest and enhanced efficacy of combination therapy was observed in vitro. Recent studies had indicated that the irreversible PDI inhibitor PACMA31 efficiently induces apoptosis in a variety of human cancer cell lines [ 27 – 28 ]. Homoplastically, our findings also indicated that PACMA31 decreased the MMP in the KASUMI-1 cell line. Subsequently, PACMA31 was shown to promote the activation of both Caspase-3 and PARP, suggesting the involvement of the intrinsic apoptotic pathway in PACMA31-induced apoptosis. Moreover, the apoptosis induced by PACMA31 was determined to be caspase-dependent, as this process was partially reversed by pretreatment with Z-VAD-FMK, a compound that irreversibly bind to the catalytic site of caspase proteases and inhibits apoptosis induction. Recent researches had established that diminished levels of ROS are essential for preserving the pluripotent potential of stem cells[ 29 – 30 ]. A multitude of studies had suggested that the inhibition of thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) activity leads to elevated intracellular ROS levels, subsequently inducing apoptosis in various cancer cell lines [ 31 ]. The chemical compound PACMA31, identified as a TrxR inhibitor, has been shown to facilitate the accumulation of ROS and initiate apoptosis in cancer cells through mechanisms associated with oxidative stress. In our investigation, KASUMI-1 cells were subjected to PACMA31 treatment for a duration of 6 hours, resulting in a concentration-dependent increase in intracellular ROS levels and lipid peroxidation. Furthermore, the application of the ROS scavenger NAC significantly attenuated the apoptosis induced by PACMA31. Further, we conducted an in-depth mechanistic investigation and discovered that PACMA31, have the capacity to activate the UPR through the activation of the PERK/eIF2α pathway, which constitutes a significant component of the UPR signaling network. Conclusion In summary, our study elucidated a molecular mechanism by which PDIs contributed to the pathogenesis and progression of AML through the activation of the PERK/eIF2α signaling pathway. Notably, the irreversible PDI inhibitor PACMA31 induces apoptosis in AML cell lines by modulating oxidative stress and mitochondrial apoptosis signaling pathways. These findings offer valuable insights into potential therapeutic strategies for AML, positioning PDIs as a promising target for treatment. However, further clinical investigations and animal experiments are necessary to validate the therapeutic efficacy of this approach in AML.

Over the past decade, advancements in novel therapeutic agents and the implementation of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) have led to a significant improvement in overall survival (OS) for AML patients [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR2\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR3\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e3\u003c/span\u003e]. Yet, the 5-year OS rate for AML patients under the age of 60 was approximately 40%, conversely, for individuals aged 65 and older, the median OS is only 4 months. Furthermore, even in cases where complete remission was achieved, approximately 70% of patients experience relapse within 5 years. This phenomenon could be attributed to the protective role of the bone marrow microenvironment (BMM) for AML cells and the clonal selection that facilitates the emergence of therapy-resistant clones [\u003cspan additionalcitationids=\"CR5\" citationid=\"CR4\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e4\u003c/span\u003e\u0026ndash;\u003cspan citationid=\"CR6\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e6\u003c/span\u003e] Consequently, there was an urgent need to identify novel therapeutic targets and develop innovative treatment strategies for AML patients and healthcare providers [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR7\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e7\u003c/span\u003e].\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe endoplasmic reticulum (ER), recognized as the largest organelle within the cell, primarily functions in protein folding, post-translational modification, maturation of proteins, calcium metabolism, and lipid synthesis [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR8\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e8\u003c/span\u003e\u0026ndash;\u003cspan citationid=\"CR9\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e9\u003c/span\u003e]. Nonetheless, various intrinsic and extrinsic factors, including oxidative stress, hypoxia, and deprivation of calcium or glucose, can disrupt ER functionality, thereby triggering a cytoprotective signaling pathway known as the ER stress response or unfolded protein response (UPR) [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR10\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e10\u003c/span\u003e]. This response involved the activation of three key signaling pathways: pancreatic eukaryotic initiation factor 2B kinase (PERK), inositol-requiring enzyme 1α (IRE1α), and activating transcription factor 6 (ATF6), which aimed to mitigate ER stress by reducing protein synthesis, enhancing the levels of chaperones to facilitate proper protein folding, and promoting protein degradation [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR11\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e11\u003c/span\u003e]. The unfolded protein response (UPR) was particularly significant in the context of leukemogenesis, as it supported the survival of leukemic cells and their resistance to chemotherapy, influenced by the production of mutated proteins and the surrounding bone marrow microenvironment [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR12\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e12\u003c/span\u003e]. Previous studies had indicated that markers indicative of activated UPR signaling, such as sXBP1 and elevated expression of UPR-activated genes like p-IRE1α and protein disulphide isomerase (PDI), were present in approximately 25% of samples from patients with AML [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR13\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e13\u003c/span\u003e].\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe PDI family, classified as endoplasmic ER-thiodisulfide oxidoreductases, comprised 21 enzymes that possess a conserved thioredoxin-like catalytic redox center characterized by pairs of reactive cysteine residues [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR14\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e14\u003c/span\u003e]. These enzymes facilitated the formation, cleavage, and rearrangement of disulfide bonds while also exhibiting chaperone protein activity. Due to their dual functionality as oxidoreductases and molecular chaperones, PDIs were integral to the processes of protein folding and oxidation. Given that proteotoxic and oxidative stress are increasingly recognized as phenotypic markers of cancer, recent studies have demonstrated that proteins within the PDI family are significantly overexpressed in both cancerous tissues and cancer cell lines [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR15\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e15\u003c/span\u003e]. Members PDI family function as oncogenes and play significant roles in the development and progression of various cancers, encompassing processes such as cellular proliferation, invasion, metastasis, and resistance to chemotherapy. For instance, PDI had been shown to influence the onset and advancement of colorectal cancer by modulating the apoptosis signaling pathway and the oxidative stress within the endoplasmic reticulum [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR16\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e16\u003c/span\u003e]; PDIA4 facilitated the development of renal cell carcinoma through the regulation of the ATF4/SLC7A11 pathway, which serves to inhibit ferroptosis [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR17\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e17\u003c/span\u003e]. The upregulation of PDIA3 had been implicated in the progression of renal cell carcinoma by initiating a feedback loop involving STAT3; Furthermore, PDIA4 was considered to be associated with the tumorigenesis of triple-negative breast cancer and the resistance to radiotherapy, primarily through the modulation of the JNK signaling pathway [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR18\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e18\u003c/span\u003e]. In chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), Chevet et al. found that the overexpression of PDIA5 in CML was associated with increased resistance to imatinib [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR19\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e19\u003c/span\u003e]. Nevertheless, the connection between the expression of PDIs and AML remains largely unexplored.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePropynoic acid carbamoylmethyl amide (PACMA31), an irreversible inhibitor of PDIs, had demonstrated efficacy against ERP5, ERP57, PDI, and ERP46 [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR20\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e20\u003c/span\u003e]. Recent researches indicated that PACMA31 might disrupt proteostasis and induce cell death through various pathways in ovarian cancer cells [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR21\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e21\u003c/span\u003e], as well as enhance sensitivity to sorafenib in sorafenib-resistant hepatocellular carcinoma [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR22\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e22\u003c/span\u003e]. However, the effects of PACMA31 on the proliferation and differentiation of AML cells have yet to be clarified. Moreover, the relationship between PDIs and chemotherapy resistance, as well as relapse in AML, remains ambiguous. Therefore, the objective of this study was to target PDI family proteins in order to disrupt ER protein homeostasis, thereby facilitating the transition from an adaptive UPR to a pro-apoptotic UPR, with the aim of enhancing treatment efficacy in AML.\u003c/p\u003e"},{"header":"Materials and methods","content":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePatients\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClinical data were obtained from the medical records of patients diagnosed with AML at the Department of Hematology, The Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University in Shijiazhuang, China.

This inhibitory effect was also shown to be significantly dose-dependent in leukemic cell lines. Following this, we conducted a comprehensive investigation to assess the anti-leukemic properties of PACMA31 in five primary BMMNC samples obtained from patients diagnosed with AML (Fig1C), as well as in three PBMNC samples sourced from healthy donors (Fig1D).

Additionally, PACMA31 treatment led to a significant increase in apoptosis when compared to the control group (Fig. 3A,3G).

Our findings revealed a marked increase in the expression of cleaved-PARP and \u0026gamma;H2AX protein levels in the PACMA31-treated group, which was observed to be concentration-dependent (Fig5A). Following this, through the utilization of a microplate reader, we observed that the reduction of PDI activity, along with the resultant increase in cytosolic calcium levels (calcium overload) (Fig3C), could lead to mitochondrial impairment, a decrease in mitochondrial membrane potential(Fig3D), and ultimately, apoptosis in KASUMI-1 cells.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition, PACMA31 was found to induce apoptosis in AML cells through mechanisms related to oxidative stress.

Subsequently, we investigated whether N-acetylcysteine (NAC) could confer protection to AML cells against ROS-induced apoptosis. The results from Annexin V-PE/7-AAD staining indicated that NAC effectively inhibited the apoptotic effects of PACMA31 in KASUMI-1 cells (Fig3H). As lipid peroxidation was a key parameter to evaluate the oxidative stress, then, BODIPY581/591C11 staining, a lipid peroxidation probe, was applied to measure the level of intracellular lipid oxidation.

incurable. In this study, we found the protein disulphide isomerase family (PDIs) was expressed in primary leukemia cells, with particular emphasis on ERP5 and ERP57. The compound PACMA31 demonstrated the ability to inhibit proliferation, enhance differentiation, exacerbate oxidative stress, and induce apoptosis in AML cells. RNA sequencing analysis revealed that PACMA31 impeded the proliferation of AML cells by modulating the unfolded protein response (UPR). Notably, Western blot results indicated that the antiproliferative effects of PACMA31 were mediated through the PERK/eIF2α signaling pathway. The selective inhibition of PDIs activity collectively induces apoptosis and differentiation in AML cells by activating the UPR via the PERK/eIF2α pathway. Consequently, PDIs inhibitors may represent promising candidates for the development of antitumor therapeutics against AML.\u003c/p\u003e","manuscriptTitle":"Protein disulfide isomerase family is a potential therapeutic target in acute myeloid leukemia","msid":"","msnumber":"","nonDraftVersions":[{"code":1,"date":"2025-01-08 12:10:05","doi":"10.21203/rs.3.rs-5764412/v1","editorialEvents":[{"type":"communityComments","content":0}],"status":"published","journal":{"display":true,"email":"[email protected]","identity":"researchsquare","isNatureJournal":false,"hasQc":true,"allowDirectSubmit":true,"externalIdentity":"","sideBox":"","snPcode":"","submissionUrl":"/submission","title":"Research Square","twitterHandle":"researchsquare","acdcEnabled":true,"dfaEnabled":false,"editorialSystem":"","reportingPortfolio":"","inReviewEnabled":false,"inReviewRevisionsEnabled":true}}],"origin":"","ownerIdentity":"d98a5d31-86a8-4b72-b337-f4b212b3bf24","owner":[],"postedDate":"January 8th, 2025","published":true,"recentEditorialEvents":[],"rejectedJournal":[],"revision":"","amendment":"","status":"posted","subjectAreas":[],"tags":[],"updatedAt":"2025-01-12T04:53:08+00:00","versionOfRecord":[],"versionCreatedAt":"2025-01-08 12:10:05","video":"","vorDoi":"","vorDoiUrl":"","workflowStages":[]},"version":"v1","identity":"rs-5764412","journalConfig":"researchsquare"},"__N_SSP":true},"page":"/article/[identity]/[[...version]]","query":{"redirect":"/article/rs-5764412","identity":"rs-5764412","version":["v1"]},"buildId":"8U1c8b4HqxoKbykW_rLl7","isFallback":false,"isExperimentalCompile":false,"dynamicIds":[84888],"gssp":true,"scriptLoader":[]}
