PG - 697-704 LID - S0145-2126(13)00078-7 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.leukres.2013.03.003 [doi] AB - Treatment of 32 acute myeloid leukemia (AML) blast samples showing activation of the PI3K and RAS/RAF/MEK/ERK pathways with the PI3K p110delta isoform and MEKinase selective inhibitors, PCN5603 and U0126 produced dose dependent progenitor kill and inhibition of p-Akt Ser473 and p-Erk Tyr204 expression. Normal marrow or blood progenitors were less sensitive to these inhibitors (median PCN5603 IC(5)(0)s for AML and normal cells 1.5 and 5.8 muM and for U0126 9.6 and 25.8 muM, respectively). U0126 synergized with PCN5603 for killing of both AML and normal progenitors. However, the synergy was less for normal than for AML cells and the median IC(5)(0) of each drug in the combination 7- to 10-fold higher than for AML cells. CI - Crown Copyright (c) 2013.
