Abstract |
Proto-oncogene Myc, a key transcription factor, is frequently deregulated in human leukemia with aggressive and poor clinical outcome, but the development of MYC inhibitors remains challenging due to MYC helix-loop-helix topology lacking druggable domains. Here we describe a novel oral active small molecule analog of berbamine, tosyl chloride-berbamine (TCB), that efficiently eliminates MYC-positive leukemia in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, TCB potently reduced MYC protein by inhibiting CaMKIIγ, a critical enzyme that stabilizes MYC protein, and induces apoptosis of MYC-positive leukemia cells. In vivo, oral administration of TCB markedly eliminated lethal MYC-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) with well tolerability in orthotopic mouse model. Our studies identify CaMKIIγ/Myc axis as a valid target for developing small molecule-based new therapies for treating MYC-mediated leukemia and demonstrate that TCB is an orally active analog of berbamine that kills MYC-positive leukemia cells.
