In order to take full advantage
of the ABL, you should be familiar with the NinjaTrader Super DOM.
This rules out the possibility that resistance to inhibitors results from a steric hindrance as proposed for the Thr315 mutations
of ABL.13, 33 However, the crystal structures of JAK1 and JAK2 also show that Phe958 or Tyr931, respectively, are in direct contact with the CMP6 inhibitor.21 The replacement of Phe958 by Val / Cys / Ser / Leu abolishes this interaction and should decrease the affinity for this compound (Figure 2C).
Depletion
of ABL kinases in breast cancer cells decreased IL - 6 concentrations and was accompanied by increased OPG expression in osteoblasts.
Mechanistically, we found that STAT5 was required for the production of the secreted factors MMP1, IL - 6, and TNC, downstream
of ABL kinases.
Depletion
of ABL kinases impairs tumor - induced osteoclast activation in part by decreasing IL - 6 secretion.
Depletion
of ABL kinases in breast cancer cells also decreased the abundance of MMP1, a protease that cleaves fibrillar collagens and promotes the proteolytic release of bound growth factors (32).
To identify key molecular mediators
of the ABL kinases implicated in the regulation
of the ABL1 / ABL2 - dependent pathways, we analyzed the expression of individual genes for transcripts altered by loss
of the ABL kinases.
To examine the functional role
of ABL kinases in these cells, we depleted endogenous ABL kinases with previously characterized short hairpin RNAs (shRNAs) specific against ABL1 and ABL2 (20).
Conversely, overexpression
of ABL kinases, predominantly ABL1, in both 1833 and parental MDA - MB - 231 breast cancer cells increased STAT5 phosphorylation (fig.
Further, inactivation
of the ABL kinases resulted in decreased expression of the genes in the Hippo, Janus kinase (JAK) / STAT, and cytokine / cytokine receptor pathway signatures (Fig. 6B).
We found that inactivation
of the ABL kinases in breast cancer cells also decreased STAT5A mRNA and downstream expression of STAT5 target genes, including TNC (Fig. 6D).
Together, our data suggest that clinical studies may be warranted to evaluate the therapeutic potential
of ABL allosteric inhibitors and to determine whether combination therapies that incorporate these compounds are effective in treating metastatic breast cancer.
These results demonstrate that ABL kinase activity is required for osteolytic metastasis in breast cancer and suggest that pharmacological inhibition
of the ABL kinases may be an effective treatment for bone metastasis.
Depletion
of ABL kinases does not affect YAP1 protein abundance, localization, or tyrosine phosphorylation in breast cancer cells.
However, depletion
of ABL kinases decreased the phosphorylation of STAT5 (Fig. 7D and fig.
We found that allosteric inhibition
of the ABL kinases effectively impaired breast cancer bone metastasis and blocked tumor - induced osteolysis in mouse models.
Expression of a constitutively active STAT5A mutant (STAT5A *) reversed the reduction in MMP1, IL - 6, and TNC abundance induced by depletion
of both ABL kinases in breast cancer cells (Fig. 7, E and F, and fig.
Thus, we evaluated whether addition of IL - 6 could in part rescue defective osteoclastogenesis induced by conditioned medium from breast cancer cells depleted
of the ABL kinases.
Our data raise the possibility that inhibition
of ABL kinases can increase apoptosis of breast cancer cells and block osteoclast activation, which is required for osteolytic metastasis.
Moreover, we found that treatment with a selective allosteric inhibitor
of the ABL kinases or simultaneous depletion of both ABL kinases in breast cancer cells impaired breast cancer bone metastases and decreased osteoclast activation in vitro and osteolysis in vivo.
To further validate that the decreased metastasis induced by double knockdown
of ABL1 and ABL2 was not due to off target effects of the lentivirus - encoded shRNAs, we used a second set
of ABL shRNAs (shAA # 2) and carried out rescue experiments by expressing mouse Abl1 and Abl2 constructs (mAbl1 / Abl2) that are resistant to shRNAs against human ABL1 and ABL2.
We found that ~ 90 % knockdown of ABL1 alone resulted in enhanced ABL2 expression and did not produce a significant decrease in the phosphorylation of CrkL, a reporter for the activation state
of the ABL kinases (Fig. 2K), and did not inhibit metastasis (Fig. 2, L and M).
Inactivation
of ABL kinases inhibited the expression of the TAZ target gene AXL, which shows increased expression in several human cancers and correlates with poor prognosis, increased invasiveness and metastasis, and enhanced drug resistance (53, 54).
We showed that inactivation
of the ABL kinases in breast cancer cells resulted in decreased expression of genes in the JAK / STAT and cytokine / cytokine receptor pathway signatures, which may be due to decreased STAT5A mRNA expression and reduced STAT5 phosphorylation in ABL1 / ABL2 - depleted breast cancer cells.
TRAIL - enhanced apoptosis as measured by cleavage of caspase - 3 (Fig. 4I), and knockdown
of ABL kinases increased the sensitivity of 1833 breast cancer cells to the proapoptotic effects of TRAIL (Fig. 4, G to I).
However, these reciprocal decreases were much lower than those induced by knockdown
of the ABL kinases (Fig. 7).
Depletion
of ABL kinases does not inhibit metastasis of 4175 breast cancer cells, which show tropism to the lung.
To evaluate whether loss
of ABL kinases affected TAZ activity, we performed chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) analysis using primers for TAZ targets identified by ChIP sequencing analysis (42).
We found that depletion
of the ABL kinases decreased TAZ binding to some of its target genes (fig.
To evaluate whether altered expression
of the ABL genes is associated with breast cancer progression and metastasis, we examined the expression of ABL1 and ABL2 in normal and invasive breast tumor specimens using published TCGA (The Cancer Genome Atlas) data sets (14 — 16).
To evaluate whether the TAZ and STAT5 pathways promote breast cancer bone metastasis downstream
of the ABL kinases, we expressed the constitutively active mutants TAZ S89A and STAT5 * in ABL1 / ABL2 knockdown cells.
In addition to inhibiting STAT5 signaling, we found that depletion
of ABL kinases decreased the expression of the Hippo pathway mediator TAZ and downstream target genes in triple - negative and HER2 + breast cancer cells.
We found that depletion
of ABL kinases in breast cancer cells decreased STAT5A mRNA expression (Fig. 6D) without decreasing total STAT5 protein abundance as measured by Western blotting with antibodies that detect both STAT5A and STAT5B (Fig. 7D and fig.

of ABL and BCR genes cause leukemia.
