Abstract
Triple combination FCR (fludarabine, cyclophosphamide and rituximab) is often used as front-line treatment for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Results from our laboratory indicate that 2-FaraAMP (fludarabine) has multiple mechanisms of cytotoxicity that include accumulation of isoforms and phosphorylated derivatives of p53, and induction of the unfolded protein response (UPR). Using protein pull-downs with Dynabeads coated with p53 antibody, we have found that 2-FaraA (fludarabine nucleoside) induces major changes in the p53 interactome in human Raji lymphoma and IM9 multiple myeloma cells. These changes are likely driven by DNA strand breaks induced by 2-FaraA that activate protein kinases such as ATM, ATR and Chk1.
