The relationship between the Src kinase Lyn and Bcl-2 expression was examined in chronic myelogenous leukemia cells (K562 and LAMA84) displaying a Bcr/Abl-independent form of imatinib mesylate resistance. K562-R and LAMA-R cells that were markedly resistant to induction of mitochondrial dysfunction (e.g. loss of mitochondrial membrane potential, Bax translocation, cytochrome c, and apoptosis-inducing factor release) and apoptosis by imatinib mesylate exhibited a pronounced reduction in expression of Bcr/Abl, Bcl-xL, and STAT5 but a striking increase in levels of activated Lyn. Whereas basal expression of Bcl-2 protein was very low in parental cells, imatinib-resistant cells displayed a marked increase in Bcl-2 mRNA and/or protein levels. Treatment of LAMA-R cells with the Src kinase inhibitor PP2 significantly reduced Lyn activation as well as Bcl-2 mRNA and protein levels. Transient or stable transfection of LAMA84 or K562 cells with a constitutively active Lyn (Y508F), but not with a kinase-dead mutant (K275D), significantly increased Bcl-2 protein expression and protected cells from lethality of imatinib mesylate. Ectopic expression of Bcl-2 protected K562 and LAMA84 cells from imatinib mesylate- and PP2-mediated lethality. Conversely, interference with Bcl-2 function by co-administration of the small molecule Bcl-2 inhibitor HA14-1 or down-regulation of Bcl-2 expression by small interfering RNA or antisense strategies significantly increased mitochondrial dysfunction and apoptosis induced by imatinib mesylate and the topoisomerase inhibitor VP-16 in LAMA-R cells. In marked contrast, these interventions had little effect in parental LAMA84 cells that display low basal levels of Bcl-2. Together, these findings indicate that activation of Lyn in leukemia cells displaying a Bcr/Abl-independent form of imatinib mesylate resistance plays a functional role in Bcl-2 up-regulation and provide a theoretical basis for the development of therapeutic strategies targeting Bcl-2 in such a setting.
