Chronic myeloid leukemia in chronic phase (CML-CP) cells that harbor oncogenicBCR-ABL1and normalABL1allele often become resistant to the ABL1 kinase inhibitor imatinib. Here, we report that loss of the remaining normalABL1allele in these tumors, which results from cryptic interstitial deletion in 9q34 in patients who did not achieve a complete cytogenetic remission (CCyR) during treatment, engenders a novel unexpected mechanism of imatinib resistance. BCR-ABL1–positiveAbl1−/−leukemia cells were refractory to imatinib as indicated by persistent BCR-ABL1–mediated tyrosine phosphorylation, lack of BCR-ABL1 protein degradation, increased cell survival, and clonogenic activity. Expression of ABL1 kinase, but not a kinase-dead mutant, restored the antileukemic effects of imatinib in ABL1-negative chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) cells and in BCR-ABL1–positiveAbl1−/−murine leukemia cells. The intracellular concentration of imatinib and expression of its transporters were not affected, although proteins involved in BCR-ABL1 degradation were downregulated inAbl1−/−cells. Furthermore, 12 genes associated with imatinib resistance were favorably deregulated inAbl1−/−leukemia. Taken together, our results indicate that loss of the normal ABL1 kinase may serve as a key prognostic factor that exerts major impact on CML treatment outcomes.Cancer Res; 71(16); 5381–6. ©2011 AACR.
