Abstract: The multi-kinase inhibitor dasatinib has been implicated to be effective in pre-B-cell receptor (pre-BCR)-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) expressing the E2A-PBX1 fusion oncoprotein. The TGFβ signaling pathway is involved in a wide variety of cellular processes, including embryonic development and cell homeostasis, and it can have dual roles in cancer: suppressing tumor growth at early stages and mediating tumor progression at later stages. In this study, we identified the upregulation of the TGFβ signaling pathway in our previously generated human dasatinib-resistant pre-BCR+/E2A-PBX1+ ALL cells using global transcriptomic analysis. We confirm the upregulation of the TGFβ pathway member SMAD3 at the transcriptional and translational levels in dasatinib-resistant pre-BCR+/E2A-PBX1+ ALL cells. Hence, dasatinib blocks, at least partially, TGFβ-induced SMAD3 phosphorylation in several B-cell precursor (BCP) ALL cell lines as well as in dasatinib-resistant pre-BCR+/E2A-PBX1+ ALL cells. Activation of the TGFβ signaling pathway by TGF-β1 leads to growth inhibition by cell cycle arrest at the G0/G1 stage, increase in apoptosis and transcriptional changes of SMAD-targeted genes, e.g. c-MYC downregulation, in pre-BCR+/E2A-PBX1+ ALL cells. These results provide a better understanding about the role that the TGFβ signaling pathway plays in leukemogenesis of BCP-ALL as well as in secondary drug resistance to dasatinib.
