BackgroundNelarabine has been used for the treatment of T‐cell malignancies including T‐acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T‐ALL)/T‐lymphoblastic lymphoma. However, the mechanisms that underlie the susceptibility or resistance to nelarabine have not been fully elucidated. The aim of this study was to determine the significance of nelarabine transport and metabolism in the context of nelarabine cytotoxicity.ProcedureThe expression profiles of six genes in the nelarabine pathway were analyzed in blast cells from six patients with T‐ALL as well as in three T‐ALL cell lines. In vitro cytotoxicity (LC50of 9‐β‐d‐arabinofuranosylguanine [ara‐G]) was evaluated.ResultsThe mRNA expression ofENT1, DCK, CDA, NT5C2, RRM1, andRRM2in patients showed inter‐individual variability and was not correlated with the LC50of ara‐G. However, the ratio of (ENT1×DCK)/(CDA ×RRM1) expression was significantly correlated with LC50(r = –0.831,P= 0.0405).ConclusionsChemosensitivity to nelarabine is influenced by the balance of the expression of these four genes, and the ratio of their expression predicts the response of T‐cell malignancies to nelarabine.
