ABSTRACT
Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK), which belongs to the insulin receptor tyrosine kinase superfamily, plays an important role in nervous system development. Due to chromosomal translocations, point mutations, and gene amplification, constitutively activated ALK has been implicated in a variety of human cancers, including anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (ALCL), non-small cell lung cancer, and neuroblastoma. We evaluated the anti-cancer activity of the ALK inhibitor KRCA-0008 using ALCL cell lines that express NPM (nucleophosmin)-ALK. KRCA-0008 strongly suppressed the proliferation and survival of NPM-ALK-positive ALCL cells. Additionally, it induced G0/G1 cell cycle arrest and apoptosis by blocking downstream signals including STAT3, Akt, and ERK1/2. Tumor growth was strongly suppressed in mice inoculated with Karpas-299 tumor xenografts and orally treated with KRCA-0008 (50 mg/kg, BID) for 2 weeks. Our results suggest that KRCA-0008 will be useful in further investigations of ALK signaling, and may provide therapeutic opportunities for NPM-ALK-positive ALCL patients.
