High-grade B-cell lymphoma (HGBCL), the subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, to be relapsed or refractory in patients after initial therapy or salvage chemotherapy. Dual dysregulation of MYC and BCL2 is one of the important pathogenic mechanisms. Thus, combined targeting of MYC and BCL2 appears to be a promising strategy. Dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH) is the fourth rate-limiting enzyme for the de novo biosynthesis of pyrimidine. It has been shown to be a potential therapeutic target for multiple diseases. In this study, the DHODH inhibitor brequinar exhibited growth inhibition, cell cycle blockade, and apoptosis promotion in HGBCL cell lines with MYC and BCL2 rearrangements. The combination of brequinar and BCL2 inhibitors venetoclax had a synergistic inhibitory effect on the survival of DHL cells through different pathways. Venetoclax could upregulate MCL-1 and MYC expression, which has been reported as a resistance mechanism of BCL2 inhibitors. Brequinar downregulated MCL-1 and MYC, which could potentially overcome drug resistance to venetoclax in HGBCL cells. Furthermore, brequinar could downregulate a broad range of genes, including ribosome biosynthesis genes, which might contribute to its anti-tumor effects. In vivo studies demonstrated synergetic tumor growth inhibition in xenograft models with brequinar and venetoclax combination treatment. These results provide preliminary evidence for the rational combination of DHODH and BCL2 blockade in HGBCL with abnormal MYC and BCL2.
