The dual c-abl/Src kinase inhibitor, dasatinib, utilized to treat chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) when used at clinically attainable sublethal concentrations, synergistically sensitized primary chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) lymphocytes to chlorambucil and fludarabine. In contrast, dasatinib alone demonstrated toxicity to CLL lymphocytes at concentrations that are generally not clinically attainable. Dasatinib resistance and poorer dasatinib-mediated sensitization to chlorambucil and fludarabine was associated with higher expression of c-abl protein levels. In contrast, chlorambucil and fludarabine resistance correlated with basal p53 protein levels. Moreover, Western blot analysis after in vitro treatment of primary CLL lymphocytes with dasatinib, chlorambucil and/or fludarabine, showed that dasatinib: (i) inhibited c-abl function (e.g. downregulation of c-abl protein levels and decreased the phosphorylation of a c-abl downstream target, Dok2), (ii) decreased chlorambucil/fludarabine induced accumulation of p53 protein levels, (iii) altered the response to chlorambucil/fludarabine induced DNA-damage as evidenced by an increase in chlorambucil/fludarabine-induced H2AX phosphorylation, and (iv) accentuated the c-abl downregulation induced by chlorambucil/fludarabine. Our results suggest that dasatinib in combination with chlorambucil or fludarabine may improve the therapy of CLL.
