Leukemias are differentially sensitive to histone deacytelase inhibitor (HDI)-induced apoptosis, but molecular reasons for this remain unclear. We here show that BCR/ABL-, but not FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3)-internal tandem duplication (ITD)-transformed 32D cells or primary acute myeloid leukemia (AML) blasts undergo apoptosis after treatment with the HDI valproic acid (VPA) plus all-trans retinoic acid (VPA/ATRA). A particular VPA/ATRA responsiveness of Philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph+) acute lymphatic leukemia (ALL) was confirmed in a therapy-refractory patient in vivo. HDI-stimulated apoptosis in Ph+ cells was caspase dependent, but independent from Akt pathway inhibition. Conversely, separate blockage of the Akt/mTor-signaling pathway was a prerequisite for overcoming apoptosis resistance to VPA/ATRA in FLT3-ITD cells, and primary AML blasts (n = 9). In conclusion, constitutive Akt activation causes apoptosis resistance to VPA/ATRA in AML, but not in Ph+ leukemia. This warrants the application of HDI-based therapies in poor-risk Ph+ ALL, and the use of Akt/mTor inhibitors to overcome HDI resistance in AML.
