Nucleophosmin (NPM), an important regulator in p53 signaling pathway, is one of the most frequently mutated genes in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). In our previous study, we found that hexamethylene bisacetamide inducible protein 1 (HEXIM1) interacted with both wild-type NPM and cytoplasmic-misallocated NPMc(+) mutant, leading to an increase in RNA polymerase II transcription. Here we examine the protein expression in wild-type NPM (AML2) and NPMc(+) mutant (AML3) AML cell lines. Significant lower levels of NPM, HEXIM1 and p53 proteins are detected in AML3 cells, and such differential protein expression is not regulated at transcriptional or post-translational stages. Effects of several anticancer compounds on cell viability of AML2 and AML3 cells are investigated. Compared to AML3 cells, AML2 cells are more sensitive to the treatment of the DNA-damaging compounds (doxorubicin and etoposide) and a specific p53-inducing compound (nutlin-3). However, no significant difference in cytotoxicity was observed when AML2 and AML3 cells were treated with cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors, flavopiridol and CYC202. Our results provide a novel insight to the functional impact of the NPMc(+) mutation on protein expression and the potential approaches for selective therapy of AML.
