Disease relapse is a common cause of treatment failure in FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) mutated acute myeloid leukemia (AML). In this study, to identify therapeutic targets responsible for the survival and proliferation of leukemic cells (blasts) with FLT3 mutations after gilteritinib (GILT, a 2nd generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI)) treatment, we performed proteomic screening of cytokine release and in vitro/ex vivo studies to investigate their associated signaling pathways and transcriptional regulation. Here, we report that macrophage migration inhibition factor (MIF) was significantly increased in the supernatant of GILT-treated blasts when compared to untreated controls. Additionally, the GILT-treated blasts that survived were found to exhibit higher expressions of the CXCR2 gene and protein, a common receptor for MIF and pro-inflammatory cytokines. The supplementation of exogenous MIF to GILT-treated blasts revealed a group of CD44High+ cells that might be responsible for the relapse. Furthermore, we identified the highly activated non-classical NFKB2 pathway after GILT-treatment. The siRNA transient knockdown of NFKB2 significantly reduced the gene expressions of MIF, CXCR2, and CXCL5. Finally, treatments of AML patient samples ex vivo demonstrated that the combination of a pharmaceutical inhibitor of the NFKB family and GILT can effectively suppress primary blasts’ secretion of tumor-promoting cytokines, such as CXCL1/5/8. In summary, we provide the first evidence that targeting treatment-activated compensatory pathways, such as the NFKB2-MIF/CXCLs-CXCR2 axis could be a novel therapeutic strategy to overcome TKI-resistance and effectively treat AML patients with FLT3 mutations.
