ABL1 tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) dramatically improve the prognosis of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), but 10-20% of patients achieve suboptimal responses with low TKIs sensitivity. Furthermore, residual leukemic stem cells (LSCs) are involved in the molecular relapse after TKIs discontinuation. Aberrant DNA hypermethylation contributes to low TKIs sensitivity and the persistence of LSCs in CML. DNMT1 is a key regulator of hematopoietic stem cells, suggesting that aberrant DNA hypermethylation targeting DNMT1 represents a potential therapeutic target for CML. We investigated the efficacy of OR-2100 (OR21), the first orally available single-compound prodrug of decitabine. OR21 exhibited anti-tumor effects as a monotherapy, and in combination therapy it increased TKI-induced apoptosis and induction of tumor suppressor genes including PTPN6 encoding SHP-1 in CML cells. OR21 in combination with imatinib significantly suppressed tumor growth in a xenotransplant model. OR21 and combination therapy decreased the abundance of LSCs and inhibited engraftment in a BCR-ABL1-transduced mouse model. These results demonstrate that targeting DNMT1 using OR21 exerts anti-tumor effects and impairs LSCs in CML. Therefore, combination treatment of TKIs and OR21 represents a promising treatment strategy in CML.

D000076123 DNA (Cytosine-5-)-Methyltransferase 1 A DNA (cytosine-5-)-methyltransferase that contains a central CxxC type zinc finger motif. It binds poly(ADP)-ribose and its expression is regulated by POLY (ADP-RIBOSE) POLYMERASE-1. DNMT1 methylates CpG residues, with a preference for hemimethylated DNA, and associates with DNA replication sites in S PHASE to maintain the methylation pattern in the newly synthesized strand, which is essential for EPIGENETIC PROCESSES. It also associates with CHROMATIN during G2 PHASE and MITOSIS to maintain DNA methylation independently of replication. It is responsible for maintaining methylation patterns established in development; mutations in the DNMT1 gene are associated with HEREDITARY SENSORY NEUROPATHY TYPE 1 class E.

D015464 Leukemia, Myelogenous, Chronic, BCR-ABL Positive Clonal hematopoetic disorder caused by an acquired genetic defect in PLURIPOTENT STEM CELLS. It starts in MYELOID CELLS of the bone marrow, invades the blood and then other organs. The condition progresses from a stable, more indolent, chronic phase (LEUKEMIA, MYELOID, CHRONIC PHASE) lasting up to 7 years, to an advanced phase composed of an accelerated phase (LEUKEMIA, MYELOID, ACCELERATED PHASE) and BLAST CRISIS.
