Chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) arises following transformation of a haemopoietic stem cell (HSC) by protein-tyrosine kinase BCR-ABL1. Direct inhibition of BCR-ABL1 kinase has revolutionized disease management, but fails to eradicate leukaemic stem cells (LSC), which maintain CML. LSC are independent of BCR-ABL1 for survival, providing a rationale to identify and target kinase-independent pathways. Here we show using proteomics, transcriptomics and network analyses, that in human LSC aberrantly expressed proteins, in both imatinib-responder and non-responder patients are modulated in concert with p53 and c-Myc regulation. Perturbation of both p53 and c-Myc, not BCR-ABL1 itself, leads to synergistic kill, differentiation and near elimination of transplantable human LSC in mice, whilst sparing normal HSC. This unbiased systems approach targeting connected nodes exemplifies a novel precision medicine strategy providing evidence that LSC can be eradicated.
