gp96 (grp94) is a key downstream chaperone in the ER to mediate unfolded protein response (UPR) and the pathogenesis of multiple myeloma (MM) is closely linked to dysregulated UPR. In this study, we aimed to determine the roles of gp96 in the initiation and progression of MM in vivo and in vitro. We generated a mouse model with over-expression of XBP1s and conditional deletion of gp96 in B cell compartment simultaneously to identify the roles of gp96 in the development of MM in vivo. Using a shRNA system, we silenced gp96 in multiple human MM cells and examined the effect of gp96 knockdown on MM cells by cell proliferation, cell cycle analysis, apoptosis assay, immunohistochemistry and human myeloma xenograft model. The anti-cancer activity of gp96 selective inhibitor, WS13 was evaluated by apoptosis assay and MTT assay. Genetic deletion of gp96 in XBP1s-Tg mice attenuates multiple myeloma. Silencing of gp96 causes severe compromise in human MM cell growth through inhibiting Wnt-LRP-survivin pathway. We also confirmed that knockdown of gp96 decreased human MM growth in a murine xenograft model. The targeted gp96 inhibitor induced apoptosis and blocked MM cell growth, but did not induce apoptosis in pre-B leukemic cells. We have demonstrated that myeloma growth is dependent on gp96 both genetically and pharmacologically. gp96 is essential for MM cell proliferation and survival, suggesting that gp96 is a novel therapeutic target for multiple myeloma.
