Efficacy of Bortezomib as First-Line Treatment for Patients with Multiple Myeloma

Abstract: Recent years have seen a dramatic change in the approach towards diagnosing and treating Multiple Myeloma. Newer and more target specific approach to treatment has prolonged the survival for patients with multiple myeloma. The proteasome inhibitors make an important class of anti-myeloma drugs that disrupts the proteolytic machinery of the tumor cells preferentially, enhancing their susceptibility to apoptosis. Bortezomib, in particular has shown significant clinical efficacy in myeloma treatment. It is the mo… Show more

“…Among the proteins degraded by the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway are cyclins (A, B, D and E), cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors such as p21 and p27, the tumor suppressor p53 and the oncoprotein c-Myc [2,3,6,27]. Decreased degradation and increased accumulation of these proteins may disrupt cell cycle progression [2,3,6,27].…”

“…Its specific 26S proteasome inhibitory function has been attributed to the reversible but strong covalent bond formed between its dipeptidyl boronic acid moiety and the threonine proteases of the 20S subunit [17]. Bortezomib thus effectively inhibits the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway (UPP), which is essential in regulating the homeostasis of proteins controlling cell cycle progression, survival and apoptosis [16]. Evidence accumulated in the literature reveals that bortezomib exhibits complex mechanisms of action in cancer cells.…”

“…Bortezomib is a proteasome inhibitor, and is clinically approved as Velcade for the treatment of multiple myeloma and mantle cell lymphoma (27,28). Bortezomib can directly or indirectly affect signaling and apoptosis induction by TRAIL at multiple levels, including upregulation of TRAIL receptors 1 and 2 and modulation of the expression or activity of proapoptotic as well as antiapoptotic molecules (29).…”
