Natural killer cell leukemia is characterized by clonal expansion of CD3− NK cells and comprises both chronic and aggressive forms. Currently, no effective treatment exists, thus providing a need for identification of novel therapeutics. Lipidomic studies revealed dysregulated sphingolipid metabolism as evidenced by decreased levels of overall ceramide species and increased levels of cerebrosides in leukemic NK cells, concomitant with increased glucosylceramide synthase (GCS) expression. GCS, a key enzyme of this pathway, neutralizes pro-apoptotic ceramide by transfer of a UDP-glucose. Thus, we treated both rat and human leukemic NK cells in combination with: 1) exogenous C6-ceramide nanoliposomes in order to target mitochondria and increase physiological pro-apoptotic levels of long chain ceramide, and 2) 1-phenyl-2-palmitoylamino-3-morpholino-1-propanol (PPMP), an inhibitor of GCS. Co-administration of C6-ceramide nanoliposomes and PPMP elicited an increase in endogenous long-chain ceramide species, which led to cellular apoptosis in a synergistic manner via the mitochondrial intrinsic cell death pathway in leukemic NK cells.
