Dysregulation of the BCL-2 family is implicated in protecting chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) cells from intracellular damage and BCR::ABL1-inhibition with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) and may be a viable therapeutic target in blast phase (BP-)CML, for which treatment options are limited. BH3 mimetics, a class of small molecule inhibitors with high-specificity against the prosurvival members of the BCL-2 family, have displayed clinical promise in the treatment of chronic lymphocytic and acute myeloid leukemia as single agents and in combination with standard-of-care therapies. Here we present the first comparison of inhibition of BCL-2 prosurvival proteins BCL-2, BCL-xL and MCL-1 in combination with a second or third generation TKI, crucially with comparisons drawn between myeloid and lymphoid BP-CML samples. Co-treatment of four BP-CML cell lines with the TKIs nilotinib or ponatinib and either BCL-2 (venetoclax), MCL-1 (S63845) or BCL-xL (A-1331852) inhibitors resulted in a synergistic reduction in cell viability and increase in phosphatidylserine (PS) presentation. Nilotinib with BH3 mimetic combinations in myeloid BP-CML patient samples triggered increased induction of apoptosis over nilotinib alone, and a reduction in colony-forming capacity and CD34+ fraction, while this was not the case for lymphoid BP-CML samples tested. While some heterogeneity in apoptotic response was observed between cell lines and BP-CML patient samples, the combination of BCL-xL and BCR::ABL1 inhibition was consistently effective in inducing substantial apoptosis. Further, while BH3 mimetics showed little efficacy as single agents, dual-inhibition of BCL-2 prosurvival proteins dramatically induced apoptosis in all cell lines tested and in myeloid BP-CML patient samples compared to healthy donor samples. Gene expression and protein level analysis suggests a protective upregulation of alternative BCL-2 prosurvival proteins in response to BH3 mimetic single-treatment in BP-CML. Our results suggest that BH3 mimetics represent an interesting avenue for further exploration in myeloid BP-CML, for which alternative treatment options are desperately sought.
