Therapeutic approaches against ATR and ATM in hematologic malignancies

Targets Drugs Type of malignancy Highlights Ref
ATM KU-55933 Jurkat cells Impairment of the auto-phosphorylation of ATM and inhibition of H2AX phosphorylation [203, 225]
MV4-11 cells (AML cell line) ATM inhibition radiosensitized MV4-11 leukemia cells [182]
P39 and MOLM-13 cell lines (MDS cell lines) ATM inhibition increase radiosensitization of MDS cells [182]
EBV-driven Burkitt lymphoma cells Inhibition of EBV replication through inhibition of KAP1 phosphorylation [205]
Ramos cells Prevention of ATM auto-phosphorylation and potentiation of etoposide-induced apoptosis [226]
Cisplatin-resistant MCL cell line (JeKo-1/DDP) Enhanced cisplatin-induced DNA damage [206]
HCL cell line MLMA Induction of apoptosis through inhibiting NF-κB pathway [207]
KU-59403 Jurkat cells Showing higher potency, tissue distribution, and efficacy over KU-55933 [225]
AZD0156 AML exhibits therapeutic potential in a mouse model of MLL-rearranged AML [227]
KU-60019 Human B cell lymphoma cell lines, lymphoblastoid cell lines, and myeloma lines KU-60019 potentiates bendamustine activity [212]
MCL cell lines KU60019 synergizes the antineoplastic effect of romidepsin [228]

Caffeine

(Inhibitor of both ATM and ATR)

K562 leukemia cells

Caffeine sensitises the cells to

genotoxic modalities, particularly irradiation

[229]
Lymphoma patients Potentiated chemotherapy and induction of complete remission [213]
ATR VE-821 APL cells Increase of radio sensitization [217, 218]
MM cells Significantly increased apoptosis of MM cells in combination with KU-55933 [218]
TP53-mutant MM cell lines As monotherapy alone and in combination with DNA damaging agents, CX5461 or melphalan [230]
VE-822 (VX-970) AML Increase antileukemic activity of hydroxyurea and gemcitabine in AML mouse model [220]
AZD6738 CLL patients ATR inhibition induces synthetic lethality in TP53- or ATM-defective CLL cells [221]
ATM-deficient DLBCL model Combination therapy with carboplatin, bendamustine, and cyclophosphamide [219]
Relapsed/refractory high-risk CLL patients

A phase I clinical trial of AZD6738 in combination with acalabrutinib

[Trial identifier: NCT03328273]

-
BAY1895344 MCL models Synergistic anti-tumor activity in combination with DNA damage-inducing chemotherapy or radiation therapy [224]
AZ20 AML-MLL murine model Strong cytotoxic effects in vitro and in murine models, irrespective of p53 status [231]
WO2010/073034 ATM-deficient MCL Promising results both in vitro and in vivo models [223]
