ABSTRACT
Venetoclax is a highly selective BCL2 inhibitor widely used in the treatment of leukemia, especially chronic lymphocytic leukemia and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). However, long-term use of venetoclax may lead to secondary drug resistance, which constitutes an important obstacle to prolonging the duration of the therapeutic response. Here, we show that the acquired resistance to venetoclax in human AML cell lines depends on NF-κB activation rather than on the upregulation of anti-apoptotic BCL2L1 expression. Moreover, alkaliptosis induced by the small molecular compound JTC801, but not necroptosis and ferroptosis, inhibits the growth of venetoclax-resistant AML cells in vitro and in xenograft mouse models. Mechanistically, NF-κB-mediated CA9 downregulation is required for intracellular pH upregulation, thereby inducing alkaliptosis in venetoclax-resistant cells. These findings provide a new strategy to selectively remove venetoclax-resistant AML cells.
