Degradation of several intracellular proteins involved in cell cycle control and tumour growth is regulated by the ubiquitin-dependent multicatalytic protease complex (proteasome). We report that proteasome inhibitor Z-Ile-Glu(OtBu)-Ala-Leucinal (PSI) was cytotoxic on most human myeloid leukaemia cell lines at IC50 doses ranging from 5 to 25 nmol/l. Additionally, PSI pretreatment enhanced cytotoxicity by taxol and cisplatinum. PSI was more active on leukaemic than on normal CD34(+) bone marrow progenitors because the 50% growth inhibition of colony-forming unit granulocyte macrophage (CFU-GM) from cases of chronic myelogenous leukaemia (CML) and normal subjects was achieved by 15 nmol/l and 50 nmol/l PSI respectively. PSI killed cells by apoptosis as revealed by ultrastructural changes, nuclear DNA fragmentation, cleavage of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) and of beta -catenin, and was antagonized by ectopic expression of Bcl-2 but not by inactivating mutations of p53. This event was associated with a slight accumulation of Bcl-2, a decrease of Bax but no changes in Bcl-X-L protein expression at any time point. In Ph+ cell lines BCR-ABL protein was only down-regulated after 48 h of treatment with 10 nmol/l PSI. Altogether, these results indicate that PSI, alone or in association with other cytotoxic agents, has anti-tumour activity against myeloid malignancies and is more effective on leukaemic than on normal haematopoietic progenitor cells.
