PTEN is a negative regulator of PI3K-AKT signaling and a potent tumor suppressor in many types of cancer. To test a tumor suppressive role of PTEN in pre-B acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), we induced Cre-mediated deletion of Pten in mouse models of pre-B ALL. In contrast to its role as a tumor suppressor in other cancers, loss of one or both alleles of Pten caused rapid cell death of pre-B ALL cells and was sufficient to clear transplant recipient mice of leukemia. Small molecule inhibition of PTEN in human pre-B ALL cells resulted in AKT hyperactivation, p53 checkpoint activation and cell death. Loss of PTEN function in pre-B ALL cells was functionally equivalent to acute activation of autoreactive pre-BCR signaling, which engaged a deletional checkpoint for removal of autoreactive B cells. We propose that targeted inhibition of PTEN and hyperactivation of AKT triggers a checkpoint for elimination of autoreactive B cells and represents a new strategy to overcome drug-resistance in human ALL.
