Abstract
Despite the continuous improvement of leukemia treatment in the clinic, the overall 5-year disease-free survival of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is only approximately 30%-60% due to relapse and the refractoriness of AML after traditional chemotherapy. Inhibition of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP), a member of the DNA damage repair complex, has a strong antitumor effect in solid tumors. However, the role of PARP in AML remains unclear. We found that high levels of PARP1 and PARP2 were positively related to chemotherapy resistance and poor prognosis in patients with AML. Doxorubicin (DOX)-resistant AML cells highly expressed PAPR1 and PARP2. Knockdown of PARP1 and PARP2, or pharmaceutical inhibition of PARP by the PARP inhibitor (PARPi) BGB-290, significantly enhanced the cytotoxicity of DOX in AML cells due to increased DNA damage. PLGA-loading BGB-290 was properly self-assembled into stable BGB-290@PLGA nanoparticles (NPs), which is uniform particle size and good stability. BGB-290@PLGA is easily uptake by AML cell lines and stays for a long time. Combined with DOX, BGB-290@PLGA can significantly improve the chemosensitivity of AML cell lines. Furthermore, BGB-290 and DOX combination treatment dramatically repressed the onset of leukemia and prolonged the survival of THP-1 xenografted mice. Overall, this study demonstrated that PARPi with traditional chemotherapy could be an efficient therapeutic strategy for AML.
