Abstract
Amaç: Kronik miyeloid lösemi (KML), çeşitli sinyal yollarının aktivasyonuna ve lösemik fenotipin sonucuna yol açan yapıcı bir tirozin kinaz (TK) aktivitesi gösterir. JAK/STAT yolundan aktive edilmiş STAT5A ve STAT5B, bir sitokin ağı tarafından teşvik edilen lösemik hücrelerin büyümesini, çoğalmasını, farklılaşmasını ve hayatta kalmasını indükler. İkinci nesil tirozin kinaz inhibitörü nilotinib, bu onkojenik TK aktivitesini inhibe etme avantajına sahip olduğundan; terapötik yaklaşımının altında yatan mekanizmayı ve yolun gelecekteki moleküler hedeflerini analiz ederek apoptozu nasıl indüklediğini araştırmayı amaçladık.
Yöntem: Nilotinib tedavileri ile hücre canlılığı ve proliferasyon deneyleri, apoptotik analiz, STAT5A&5B mRNA transkriptlerinin ekspresyonel düzenlemeleri, protein ekspresyon seviyeleri ve ayrıca sitokinlerin ekspresyonel değerlendirmeleri, in vitro olarak CML model K562 hücrelerinde belirlendi.
Sonuç: Nilotinib tedavisi, zamana ve doza bağlı bir şekilde lösemik hücre proliferasyonunu ve sağkalımını azaltarak terapötik bir yaklaşımı değerlendirdi; lösemik hücre apoptozunu indüklemek, STAT5A&5B mRNA'yı aşağı regüle etmek ve protein ekspresyon seviyelerini düzenlemek ve sitokin ekspresyon ağını düzenlemek.
Çözüm: Nilotinib aracılı terapötikler, JAK/STAT yolu üyeleri STAT5A ve STAT5B'nin hedeflenmesine bağlı olabilir, ayrıca; sitokin ağının düzenlenmesi, lösemi patogenezinde K562 hücrelerinin nilotinibe duyarlılığı ve tepkisi için başka bir altta yatan mekanizma olabilir.

Abstract
Aim: Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) displays a constitutive tyrosine kinase (TK) activity which in turn leads to the activation of various signaling pathways and the outcome of leukemic phenotype. Activated STAT5A and STAT5B from JAK/STAT pathway induce cell growth, proliferation, differentiation, and survival of leukemic cells which are promoted by a cytokine network. Since the second-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor nilotinib has the advantage of inhibiting this oncogenic TK activity; we aimed to investigate the underlying mechanism of its therapeutic approach and how it induced apoptosis via analyzing the forthcoming molecular targets of the pathway.
Methods: By Nilotinib treatments, cell viability and proliferation assays, apoptotic analysis, expressional regulations of STAT5A&5B mRNA transcripts, protein expression levels, and also cytokines’ expressional assessments were determined in CML model K562 cells, in vitro.
Results: Nilotinib treatment in a time and dose-dependent manner assessed a therapeutic approach by decreasing leukemic cell proliferation and survival; inducing leukemic cell apoptosis, down-regulating STAT5A&5B mRNA, and protein expression levels, and regulating cytokine expressional network.
Conclusion: Nilotinib-mediated therapeutics could be dependent on targeting JAK/STAT pathway members STAT5A and STAT5B, besides; regulating the cytokine network might be another underlying mechanism for sensitization and response of K562 cells to nilotinib in leukemia pathogenesis.
