Kaposi's sarcoma associated herpesvirus (KSHV) associated primary effusion lymphomas (PEL) have extremely poor prognosis when treated with conventional chemotherapy. KSHV-encoded viral FLICE Inhibitory Protein (vFLIP) K13 binds to the IkappaB Kinase (IKK) complex to constitutively activate the NF-κB pathway, which has been shown to be essential for the survival and proliferation of PEL cells. The molecular chaperone Heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) is a component of the IKK complex and is required for its activity. We have analyzed the effect of HSP90 inhibitors on the survival and proliferation of PEL cells and on the activity of the NF-κB pathway. We demonstrate that BIIB021, a purine scaffold based orally administrable HSP90 inhibitor, shows preferential cytotoxicity towards PEL cells as compared to non-PEL cells. The cytotoxic effect of BIIB021 against PEL was associated with induction of cell-cycle arrest and apoptosis. BIIB021 blocked the expression of a number of cellular proteins involved in the regulation of cell-cycle and apoptosis. BIIB021 also blocked constitutive NF-κB activity present in PEL cells in part by blocking the interaction of vFLIP K13 with the IKK complex subunits. In a xenograft model of PEL, BIIB021 significantly reduced tumor growth. BIIB021 blocks constitutive NF-κB activity in PEL and demonstrate preferential anti-tumor activity against PEL in vitro and in vivo. BIIB021 may be a promising agent for treatment of PEL.
