FLT3 and its ligand (FL) are one of the regulators of normal hematopoiesis. Ligand-independent activation of FLT3 occurs in about 30% of acute myeloid leukemia cases and is one goal for selectively targeted therapies. However, the function of FLT3/FL in the regulation of non-malignant immature hematopoietic cells is poorly characterized. In order to elucidate the role of FLT3 in normal hematopoiesis, human adult CD34+ hematopoietic progenitor cells were cultured in cytokine-supplemented liquid culture in the presence or absence of FLT3 inhibition by CEP-701 (lestaurtinib). Total cell number, lineage-committed, and primitive progenitors and apoptosis were assayed. FLT3 expression and FL secretion in various conditions were analyzed by fluorescent activated cell sorter and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Effects of nonspecific targeting of FLT3 were evaluated with addition of imatinib (Gleevec®) to cell cultures. It is demonstrated that FLT3 inhibition impaired cell and progenitor cell growth and increased the rate in apoptosis. Effects were observed independent of addition of FL. The dose-dependent growth inhibition was partially equalized by inhibiting FL with a neutralizing antibody. FLT3 inhibition resulted in markedly increased production of FL by cultured CD34+ cells as well as upregulation of FLT3 expression. Imatinib mimicked effects of selective FLT3 inhibition. In conclusion, FLT3 and its ligand regulate proliferation of hematopoietic progenitor cells in an autocrine/paracrine manner Nonspecific inhibition of FLT3 may contribute to hematotoxicity caused by imatinib treatment.
