  • Abstract:Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most frequent aggressive lymphoma, with a great demand for novel treatments for relapsing and refractory disease. Constitutive activation of the phosphatidyl-inositol-3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway is often detected in this lymphoma. Inhibition of this signaling cascade with the pan-class I PI3K inhibitor NVP-BKM120 decreased cell proliferation and increased apoptotic cell death. DLBCL proliferation was further decreased if NVP-BKM120-induced autophagy was blocked. Treatment with NVP-BKM120 was associated with an increase of the pro-apoptotic BH3-only proteins Puma and Bim and down-regulation of the anti-apoptotic Bcl-xL and Mcl-1. Translation of Bcl-xL and Mcl-1 is facilitated by cap-dependent mRNA translation, a process that was partially inhibited by NVP-BKM120. Overall, we demonstrated here the potential of NVP-BKM120 for the treatment of DLBCL.
